WEEKLY HEIM GATHERING ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1880. THE SHEEP INDUSTRY. Sheep husbandry has always been a prominent industry in Los Angeles county. It is within the memory of many of our citizens when two-thirds of the county was given over to the cattle and sheep interest, the latter predominating. The influx of agriculturists some years ago transformed a vast area of so-called pasture into farms, and had the effect of largely diminishing the number of sheep in the county, the owners having to migrate in search of pastures new. The years of drought also compelled many to travel far with their flocks, and not a few of them failed to return. The industry suffered still further by the depression which hung like a cloud upon every line of business, but those who have tenaciously guarded their flocks and successfully battled with the untoward circumstances are now reaping the reward of their pertinacity and faith. Let us examine briefly the status of the sheep business as it looks in Los Angeles county to-day. There is hardly a question that the feed will be abundant the coming season. We know it is so on the Stearns' ranchos, and we presume it is also true of other portions of the county. The ground is covered thick with feed. The sheep are in good condition and will shear heavily, and owing to the absence of burrs in the wool, and the recent rains, the wool is cleaner than it has been for many years. This is a consideration which buyers take largely into account, and with many wool-growers it will make a difference in their favor of hundreds of dollars. Then, again, wool will command a higher price than it has for the past five years. Men who have closely watched the market Agricultural and Horticultural Items. Mr. L. Dyer, the U. S. Consul at Odessa, writes that Odessa wheat is known to the trade as "Ghirka." The editor of the Rural Press, writing of an interview with a gentleman who has just imported a small lot of wheat, says: On the question of marketing wheat which is so different from the characteristic California wheat. Mr. Gerberling is of the opinion that all of the crop of 1880 will be called for for seed purposes if the variety shall again resist the rust as it has during the last two years. Such a reputation will lead to the introduction of the Odessa in all parts of the State where wheat is endangered by rust. The produce of this enlarged planting, he thinks, will be taken by California millers for local grinding. If the production should increase beyond this demand, he thinks the Odessa will be shipped to England, and even if it does sell considerably below the famous California White wheat, it may be a more profitable crop than low-priced feed barley, which is now so largely produced. It is possible that growing under California conditions, the Ghirka wheat may eventually modify its characteristics somewhat and become liable to the rust which it now withstands, but this can be remedied by fresh importations of seed from Russia, if indeed this should be found necessary. Ten thousand acres of the Newhall ranch, in this county, is seeded to wheat, and it is expected that the yield will be over 100,000 sacks. The Rural Press, in a tabulated state- Correspondence Some Wholesome Advice. Editor Gazrite:—The question is asking me why my accustomed space in the Gazrite has not been filled for these three weeks, and my answer is, I have been trying my hand at farming. Is it not a state of things when a populous section lily Orange becomes so healthy that a doctor has to exchange his medicine case for the plough and seek through honest tail that competes for which the practice of a most honorable profession is found inadequate? But hard though it may seem, I rather like it; and would that three-fourths of the graduates in our medical colleges, law schools and the logical seminaries were driven to seek a living through agricultural or mechanical pursuits, for the reason that the world would be better for it as well as the seakers for professional honors themselves. The fact self-evident, that a leading inclination among youthful aspirants is to obtain A LIVING WITHOUT WORK; And hence, they crowd into the professions which are already over-crowded. "It's true and pity 'tis 'tis true" that many a farmer boy has been spoiled for honest and useful industry, by endeavoring to make a doctor lawyer or preacher of him, for either which he never had the capacity or adaptation. Let the young of both sexes be taught that any form of labor or any industry productive of substantial good to the individual or to humanity at large is honorable; there would be less disposition to shirk laughed and to crowd into the professions which already more over-stocked with numbers than with brains. Again, there is a yearing desire among the youth of our country to crowd into the cities where, according their fanciful visions, wealth, distinct know it is so on the Stearns’ ranchos, and we presume it is also true of other portions of the county. The ground is covered thick with feed. The sheep are in good condition and will shear heavily, and owing to the absence of burrs in the wool, and the recent rains, the wool is cleaner than it has been for many years. This is a consideration which buyers take largely into account, and with many wool-growers it will make a difference in their favor of hundreds of dollars. Then, again, wool will command a higher price than it has for the past five years. Men who have closely watched the market and studied the situation are of the opinion that wool will command as high as 30 cents per pound this spring. Much of the last clip was sold for 10 cents per pound. There is but little wool on hand and the factories in the East are running on wool imported from England. Under these circumstances it would seem as if the high expectations which have been formed in regard to the price of wool this Spring will be fully realized. The cloud of wool-buyers who flock into the county about shearing time will probably grind out the same doleful tale which they have harped upon in years past, but they will find difficulty in contracting for any wool at figures much less than we have said. The price of sheep has also advanced to a high figure. Buyers have been in this vicinity for some time past, and not less than 60,000 sheep have been sent to the San Francisco market from this county in the past six months. The lambing season, we are told, was exceedingly prosperous, some of our sheepraisers getting as high as 100 per cent. in lambs. This high percentage was only obtained, of course, by the exercise of extraordinary care and attention. Mr. Charles Hilmer, with whom we had a long and profitable conversation the other day, cited several instances where such good result had been obtained, and gave it as his experience that it is poor economy to be niggarly in hiring help through the lambing season. By paying good wages to faithful workers, a larger percentage of lambs will be raised, and the increased expense for help will be more than met. M. LEON CHOTTEAU will shortly leave Washington for la belle France. He does not return to his native land with all the prestige of a conqueror and successful diplomat. On the contrary the volatile andanguine Frenchman is disheartened at the failure of his scheme to ruin, or at least seriously cripple, the vinicultural industry of California. The Senate of the United States almost unanimously postponed a joint resolution requesting the President to negotiate a reciprocity treaty with France, and the committee on Foreign Relations were discharged from any further consideration of the subject. This action of the Senate, following so closely upon that of the House, which but recently adopted a resolution declaring against any attempt to change the tariff rates, would seem effectually not a quietus on Chotteau. It is possible that growing under Califeria conditions, the Ghirka wheat may eventually modify its characteristics somewhat and become liable to the rust which it now withstands, but this can be remedied by fresh importations of seed from Russia, if indeed this should be found necessary. Ten thousand acres of the Newhall ranch, in this county, is seeded to wheat, and it is expected that the yield will be over 100,000 sacks. The Rural Press, in a tabulated statement of the orange, lemon and lime trees in San Gabriel Valley, shows that there are 2,206 acres in orange, containing 134,252 trees, of which 28,734 are now bearing. There are 11,885 lemon trees and 9,141 lime trees. The product of these trees this season is 43,-856 boxes. The last number of the Riverside Press and Horticulturist had an admirable report of the Citrus Fair. The horticulturists of San Gabriel Valley will hold a fruit exhibition at Pasadena on the 31st inst. Santa Ana Valley Teacher’s Association. The monthly meeting of this association was held in the East room (up stairs) of the Anaheim school building on Saturday, Feb. 28th. A constitution and by-laws were adopted and the following officers elected: President—J. M. Guinn, Anaheim; Vice President—Mrs. Anna C.’ Averill, Garden Grove; Secretary—E. N. Hewes, Tustin; Recording Secretary—Miss Mary Squires, Orange; Treasurer—C. W. Moores, Olive. Mrs. Breed, of Anaheim, gave a class exercise in primary reading. Her class of little boys and girls in the second reader showed by their reading that they had carefully drilled in enunciation. They articulated the words clearly and distinctly. Mrs. Averill of Garden Grove read a very excellent essay on “Thought Culture.” She did justice to her subject, and was listened to with marked attention by her audience. Mr. C.W. Campbell of Fairview read a well prepared paper on “Geography.” This subject called forth considerable discussion. Mr. Hall of Passadena denounced Montieth’s geographies. He objected to any author putting questions in his mouth to ask his pupils. The subject was discussed by Messra Henderson, Hewes, Guinn and Mrs. Avellin. Mr. Grover of Fountain Valley declined a selection called “A Californian’s Dream.” The following programme was reported for the next meeting: Music; Book-keeping, C.N. Andrews; study of biography in schools, C.W.Moores; essay, Miss Mary Squires; music; class exercise in geography, Mrs.Hewes; grammar, O.A.Baker; declaration, Mr.Wolbridge. Committee to prepare music for the meetings at Santa Ana—C.N.Andrewa, E.N.Hewes, Mrs.Hewes; for the meetings in Anaheim—W.H.Henderson, C.W.Campbell, Prof.Henry Finck. The Association adjourned to meet in Santa And hence, they crowd like children already over-crowded. “It’s true and pity ‘tis ‘tis true” that many a farmer boy has been spoiled for honest and useful industry, by endeavoring to make a doctor lawyer or preacher of him, for either which he never had the capacity or adaptation. Let the young of both sexes be taught that any form of labor or any industry produces of substantial good to the individual or to humanity at large is honorable; there would be less disposition to shirk law and to crowd into the professions which already more over-stocked with numbers than with brains. Again, there is a year desire among the youth of our country to crowd into the cities where, according their fanciful visions, wealth, distinction and enjoyment are prizes within easy reach and of which they are confident of possession. Many an honest youth, buoyant with hope and overflowing with good intention has been wrecked and ruined upon this side of a false ambition. The lesson which fact teaches is to be more content with surroundings; and if they are not exact what we desire, to go to work and with sistent effort bring them into harmony our wishes. All our large cities are too overflowing with a redundant population who are either TOO LAZY TO WORK Or too dishonest to obtain honest livelihood, and hence want, suffering pain and crime are the natural results. Could hundreds who are daily parading the state of San Francisco, complaining that they get no work and that want and starve are threatening them, be carefully scrutied it would be found that in large they belong to the lazy, shiftless class are always howling against corporations capitalists, and who had rather filibuster living than obtain it by honest industry. Could these complaining idlers be compelled to go back into the country and scratch back of mother earth until she would have the common mother of mankind, yielding the competence never yet withheld from hardy sons of toil, how much better these misguided men, for the city, and the State at large. We should no more greeted with the blatant cry of “The nese must go,” or with the communal threats against life and property that now daily sounded in the ears of the city of San Francisco. With the adoption of the new Constitution,a cloud of darkness overshadowed State which has not lifted,and the ultimacy of which cannot be foreseen.In our Legislature there is a sufficient repression of the W.P.C.to hold a balance power and to block the wheels of law; while in San Francisco,the thriving clouds portend a re-enactment of bloody and destructive scenes of THE FRENCH COMMUNE. If our young men wish to make their useful to themselves,towards their country to humanity at large,Let them not for work,nor despise the day of small Clet them be impressed with the trivial adage that “a rolling stone gathers no sand work with a will at whatever hands find to do; let them remember “true happiness,mur being’s end and end is only attained by industry,center and exercise of an enlarged human spirit that seeks the happiness and being of others.Do they wish to monument that shall perpetuate their fame and fame to future generations,Let built in the hearts and memories of men through the good they have done happiness,comfort and good cheer they have silently brought to the unstate,the sorrowing and afflicted—in let them study so live that they shall be the better for their having lives. Young men keep out of the large unless special and inviting circumference On the contrary the volatile and guine Frenchman is disheartened at the failure of his scheme to ruin, or at least seriously cripple, the vinicultural industry of California. The Senate of the United States almost unanimously postponed a joint resolution requesting the President to negotiate a reciprocity treaty with France, and the committee on Foreign Relations were discharged from any further consideration of the subject. This action of the Senate, following so closely upon that of the House, which but recently adopted a resolution declaring against any attempt to change the tariff rates, would seem to effectually put a quietus on Choteau's scheme. That gentleman has sent to the French Government a communication urging the necessity of the appointment by that Government of Commissioners to the United States in the interest of a Franco-American reciprocity treaty. We think the time has come to urge upon the people of Anaheim the importance of organizing a Vinicultural Society. Several settlements in the county have local horizontal societies, and Anaheim, the oldest and most important of them all, ought to have an organization for the furtherance of its chief industry. The many who have this year set out vineyards naturally look to our people for information in regard to the proper management of the young vines; and the formation of a Vinicultural Society, which would hold regular meetings and discuss topics connected with grape growing and wine and raisin making, would be a real benefit not only to the beginner but to the veteran as well. The Society would certainly be productive of great good; would bring Anaheim into even greater prominence than now; would require but little of the members' time and would be attended with but small expense. We hope our vineyardists will speedily take the initiatory steps to form the "Anaheim Vinicultural Society." A gentleman of our city has had the curiosity to make some researches lately into the subject of loans and loan-making, and he finds that, during the months of January and February, mortgages and other obligations to the amount of $140,000 were entered of record in this county, and the average rate of interest was 1 1/10 per cent per month. Express. Mr. Grover of Fountain Valley declared a selection called "A Californian's Dream." The following programme was reported for the next meeting: Music; Book-keeping, C. N. Andrews; study of biography in schools, C. W. Moores; essay, Miss Mary Squires; music; class exercise in geography, Mrs. Hewes; grammar, O. A. Baker; declaration, Mr. Welbridge.

Respondence Wholesome Advice. GAZETTE:—The question is asked customised space in the Gazette filled for these three past may answer in, I have been trying at farming.

Again, there is a yearn- among the youth of our country into the cities where, according to ful visions, wealth, distinction guess, have been ordered from Chicago by the enterprising proprietor of the Cosmopolitan Hotel, so that excursionists to Tucson on the completion of the road to this point will not suffer for want of accommodation. Board still commands $0 per week at the best hotels and restaurants. This should not be the case, as there is a lively opposition in the retail grocery trade caused by opening of a number of new stores within the past few weeks. A few stores with doors closed and notices of attachment thereon, give evidence of insufficient attempts to stem the tide of opposition. Three or four wholesale and retail stores here have a combined trade equal in extent to that of the tendajones (groceries) of the town. The vicissitudes incidental to mines and mining life, have drawn together a cosmopolitan, yet homogenous mass of humanity. The States of New York and California vie with each other as to the number and wealth of their citizens, attracted hither by the glittering possibilities in store for them. Many a man finds himself destitute, when but yesterday the sunshine of prosperity and hope declared him the favorite of fortune. But the failure of to-day is often replaced by the success of the morrow. One man, a football of fortune for weeks, succeeded in selling one of his numerous claims for $1500. He then purchased a developed mine for $5000—a speculator. The W. C. Davis mine (in which our enterprising tin-smith W. C. Davis is one-half owner.) is sold for $40,000, the money arriving to-day. Mr. A. M. Bragg and his son Charley are doing a safe business in the blacksmithing line. D. R. M.' Thompson, of rolling-stone proclivities, will now try his fortune in Tombstone. Los Angeles baseballists, some five in number, are now residents of the Territory. Mr. Quinn and wife are living in Tucson. We predict the forthcoming of wealth for the above-named prospector. The climate of the past few weeks has Westchester House. The warm weather at the end of last week and beginning of this has been a great help, and we agree with your Los Angeles contemporary that we can almost see things grow. Rain is new threatening and slight showers have fallen. Truly, grumblers must be complained, as this season so far is all we desire. Rev., and Mr. J. Marquis have left for Santa Barbara, where they intend to remain until the first week in April. The Social at Mr. Lynan's on Tuesday evening was, we need hardly say, a great success. Those present report "a way up time, lots of fun and a good food." An exciting political campaign is now engaging the attention of our citizens, to wit a contest for the office of constable, made vacant by the resignation of P. H. Callen, who leaves us for Santa Ana shortly. The candidates at present in the field are C. Blackman and S. Findley. "Hen fruit" is plantiful just now around here, as the following figures will show, being shipments for the month of February by our merchants: Hall & Lund, 2450 dozen; J. & J. A. McFadden, 2000 don; J. H. Stainart, 2000 don.; to which may be added 1000 don. by private consignments. The School Fund. A circular just issued by F. M. Campbell, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, gives the total number of census children in the State between the ages of five and seventeen, as 216,404; amount per child, $3.97; total amount apportioned, $1,270,291.43. Los Angeles county is entitled to $63,208.16. The County Superintendent has apportioned to the Districts in this end of the county the following amounts: Library Purposes. Teacher's Salaries. Anaheim.....$50.00.....$1871.00 Alamitos.....30.00.....190.00 Bolas Grande.....50.00.....750.00 190.00 TOO LAZY TO WORK honesty to obtain an honest livelihood want, suffering, panerism are the natural results. Could the who are daily parading the streets Francisco, complaining that they can work and that want and starvation them, be carefully scrutinizing could be found that in large part to the lazy, shiftless class who is howling against corporations and, and who had rather filch their own obtain it by honest industry. Case complaining idiots be compelled into the country and scratch the earth until she would, like mother of mankind, yield them existence never yet withheld from the laws of toil, how much better for guaged men, for the city, and for large. We should no more be with the blatant cry of "The Chit go," or with the communistic against life and property that are sounded in the ears of the citizens Francisco. The adoption of the new Constitution of darkness overshadowed our which has not lifted, and the ultimate cannot be foreseen. In our State there is a sufficient representation of W. P. C. to hold a balance of aid to block the wheels of legislation in San Francisco, the threatens is portend a re-enactment of the and destructive scenes of THE FRENCH COMMUNE. young men wish to make their lives themselves, to their country, and anxiety at large, let them not fear to despise the day of small things; be impressed with the trite old fact "a rolling stone gathers no moss," with a will at whatever their hand to do; let them remember that happiness, our being's end and aim," attained by industry, contentment exercise of an enlarged humanitarian that seeks the happiness and well-others. Do they wish to erect a court that shall perpetuate their name due to future generations, let it be hearts and memories of mankind the good they have done and the less, comfort and good cheer which have silently brought to the unfortunate sorrowing and afflicted—in short, in study so to live that the world better for their having lived in it. men, keep out of the large cities, special and inviting circumstances. Mr. Charles Bush has purchased ten acres of land near the railway station and erected thereon a neat and cozy little dwelling, into treacherous form and hard to navigate. Mr. A. M. Bragg and his son Charley are doing a safe business in the blacksmithing line. D. R. M. Thompson, of rolling-stone productions, will now try his fortune in Tombstone. Los Angeles baseballists, some five in number, are now residents of the Territory. Mr. Quinn and wife are living in Tucson. We predict the forthcoming of wealth for the above-named prospector. The climate of the past few weeks has been unexceptionably fine. But a few weeks — or months—of genial weather will not be an all-sufficient inducement for a wife to follow her husband to the gold fields of Arizona. The dearth of pleasant surroundings is too painfully apparent to the corner from Los Angeles and Anaheim. Mr. Jacobs, the owner of a large stone here, is reported as about to close out his business. The above has given rise to a rumor that there is uneasiness and dissatisfaction amongst business men as to the probable death of Tucson after the iron horse leaves her in its wake. It was an amusing transition from joy to despondency, displayed on the countenances of Tucson merchants one day last week, as two gaudlily-painted trucks passed their doors; when the firm name of Dyer & Reynes became apparent, the remark was heard, "Why, there's no opposition after all." Edward Gibson Esq. is back from Sonora. He gives a glowing description of the natural beauties of the country and the abundance of game. The result of his placer mining, however, is best expressed in the "puts and calls" lines of the bard, Joaquin Miller: And it is gone! Gone like a breath; A moment, and then lost to night. He is the fortunate possessor of $1.50 in gold dust. Six deer and a number of wild turkeys give evidence of his skill as a hunter. He departs to-day for Casa Grande, en route for Savannah and Anaheim. W. S. Fish. Tucson, February 24, 1880. Orange Items. Mr. Calvin Fletcher and wife from Indianapolis have been visiting friends in Orange during the past week. Mr. F. was here six years ago and hunted rabbits and quails where are now some of the finest improved ranches in town and where then cactus and sage brush covered the ground. He expresses himself as delighted and astonished at the changes and improvements that have taken place. Mr. F. was the founder of Pasadena and owns a large interest there still, but he believes in Orange and its peculiar adaptation to semi-tropical fruit culture. The spirit of improvement among our citizens has at last culminated in the accomplishment of a long-needed work. Strangers visiting Orange and viewing the general thrift everywhere manifest, cannot but have been astonished at the abominable piece of road running through the village and constituting one of our principal avenues of travel. But all is now enangered; and what was heretofore a public nuisance has now become a highway of beauty. The Road Master has at last been along, and what was lacking in means at his command has been made up by our citizens to complete the improvement. Mr. Charles Bush has purchased ten acres of land near the railway station and erected thereon a neat and cozy little dwelling, into treacherous form and hard to navigate. A circular just issued by F. M.

RON GAZETTE:—It is with diffidence again deal out to you and the readers of excellent paper the following concrete of generalities and particulars of man and some of her residents. Still made of emigration from the East and comes to infuse new life and energy this already reviving country. News reports are so invariable a rehash of statistics going to prove the richness of properties in every district, that a choice without first seeing in person the facts and their properties, might as well be taken lottery fashion. Roba, Tombetone and Arivaca districts will yield solid testimonials of the mass of their developed mines. S. P. R. R. is now but 18 miles from San Antoz. An advance guard of Chinamen had through here, going east toward San Valley yesterday. The Company have no grant of land at the San Pedro cross. They propose to build up a town there, one aid of a newspaper and other influencer proposed grand jubilee to be held in lieu of the advent of the railroad, in an official proof to the sanguine that no bandits are to be programmed from the passage of Tucson by the S. P. Portable room, to accommodate some 150 zana has at last culminated in the accomplishment of a long-needed work. Strangers visiting Orange and viewing the general thrift everywhere manifest, cannot but have been astonished at the abominable piece of road running through the village and constituting one of our principal avenues of travel. But all is now enangered; and what was heretofore a public nuisance has now become a highway of beauty. The Road Master has at last been along, and what was lacking in means at his command has been made up by our citizens to complete the improvement. Mr. Charles Bush has purchased ten acres of land near the railway station and erected thereon a neat and cozy little dwelling, into which he has removed, and where he is enjoying with his young wife the bymanial bliss of "love in a cottage." The Orange school, after a painfully long vacation, has at last entered upon its closing term. Mr. Squirca, an old and experienced teacher of liberal education, has been employed as Principal to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mrs. Foster. The Primary department is still presided over by Mine Rose Davis. Number of scholars in attendance, 65. The Presbyterian church social was held last Friday evening at the residence of L. J. Lockhart, and was a grand success. Amusements, good music and good cheer were marked features of the evening. The expectant brides looked smiling and happy, and the would-be brides elect were happy in anticipation. Mr. Heathman recited Poe's "Raven" with credit, and it was believed that he also was happy. An active effort is being made to raise funds sufficient to erect a church edifice, which I am informed promises success. A Musicale, for which the best talent in the county is engaged, will be held on Friday ensuing, March 12th, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to this object. The Rev. Mr. Halliday, who has conducted the pulpit services for some months past for the Presbyterian church, is gaining golden opinions and draws full houses. The religious services, by courtesy of the M. E. church, are held every Sabbath afternoon at their house. I am informed that Mr. Chas. Wright has made a contract recently for the sale of his ranch, containing forty acres, for the sum of $6,000. Mr. D. C. Hayward shipped one day last week a load of orange trees for the upper country. Mr. L. J. Lockhart has shipped during the winter twenty载 loads to the San Francisco market, and is still paying cash for all he can purchase. We Can't Know. Without showing the condition of our teeth Every laugh expuses them. In order not to be ashamed of them, let us use the standard dentifrice, SOZODONT, which is sure to keep them white and spotless. No tusk can encrust them, no canker affect the enamel, no species of decay infect the dental bone, if SOZODONT is regularly used. It is a botanical preparation, and its effects on the teeth and gums are marvelous, as it removes all discoloration, and renders the gum hard and resy. I Wish Everybody to Know. Rev. Geo. H. Thayer, an old citizen of this vicinity known to everyone as a most influential citizen, and Christian minister of the M. E. Church, just this moment stopped in our store to say "I wish everybody to know that I consider that both myself and wife owe our lives to Shiloh's Communicate Cure."
