WEEKLY IM GAZE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, APRIL 10, 1880. Agricultural and Horticultural Items: The manufacture of cream of tartar has at least been entered upon in California. The time of the gentleman who has inaugurated the enterprise is D. Cardaire, and he proposes to purchase the crude cream tartar or gels from vineyardists, paying them a reasonable price therefor. Of course, the sum be realized by each individual winemaker from this source is small, but in the course of years it will aggregate a considerable amount. Had argols been salable all the years in which wine has been made in Anaheim, and had a strict account of sales been kept, it would have shown that the revenue from that source was not to be despised. A lot of grapes yields, according to the nature of the fruit, quantities varying between 1 and 2 pounds of argol, of which in good samples, an average of about 83 per cent is cream of tartar. The Secretary of the State Vinicultural Society has issued a circular letter to wine growers, calling attention to this new enterprise and refuting a fallacy which it appears is extensively entertained. He says that the idea held by many that the wine is benefited by allowing the argols to remain in the cask is altogether erroneous, for the reason that it prevents the precipitation of the matter in the wine and keeps in solution that which should be precipitated, thus giving to the wine an earthy flavor. He further points to the fact that in France the casks are always scraped and the argols removed. Mr. Cardaire's factory will, we believe, be located in San Francisco. We had a call on Monday from Mr. Silas Ritchie, one of the most progressive farmers of Santa Ana. He has under cultivation this year 700 acres of land—500 acres of barrens. The Democracy in this State are preparing for the coming campaign. A meeting of the State Committee has been called for the 14th inst., and the Democratic State Club will hold a meeting a few days later, both meetings to be held, of course, in San Francisco. Prominent Democrats have been invited to present at these conferences, and it is evident that the party is endeavoring to present a solid front in the great campaign so close at hand. A PRINTED circular has been sent us from Chicago by Mr. James Viles Jr. (a former resident of Anaheim), showing the enormous business in pork packing done in that city. During the twelve months comprising the season of 1879-80, the total packing in that city amounted to 4,680,637 hogs, which was more than was put up in all the balance of the West combined. But, large as the number appears, it was less than was put up the previous season, when the total packing was 4,960,956 hogs. And, while on the subject of hogs, it may be of interest to state that the hog business of this county is gradually assuming large proportions. The shipments of hogs have been heavy and continuous for the past six months, and Mr. Seibert, Cashier of the Bank of Anaheim, says that a statement of the amount of money which has been brought into this county of late by the sale of hogs would astonish those who have not given any thought to the subject, Ex-Gov. Downey, in a communication to the Express, gives his reasons for believing that the present condition of the wool market "is not abnormal, but the legitimate result of demand and supply." He says: There has but just concluded an unprecedented drought in Australia, one of the grand sources of wool supply, where flocks of fifty thousand head were reduced to two hundred thousand head. A BLOODY ENCOUNTER. On the Track of the Robbers—A Duel in the Dark—A Capture and an Escape. On Friday of last week, Deputy Sheriff Adolph Celis rode into town in the midst of the blinding rain which was a feature of that day. He had come straight from the Mission San Gabriel, where on the preceding Wednesday the store of Nathan Tuch had been robbed by masked men, as described in last week's Gazettek. On Friday and Saturday, he and Deputy Sheriff Barham were in close confab, and on Sunday they mysteriously disappeared. Late on Tuesday night the two officers made their appearance at the Planters' Hotel, and at about 10 o'clock they went out together and in a few minutes afterward a number of shots were heard following each other in rapid succession, and still later the officers appeared, having in custody Rafael Mirando, whom they believe to have been one of the gang concerned in the burglaries at Orange, Spadra and San Gabriel. The story of the capture, as related to the Gazettek reporter by Deputy Sheriff Celis, is as follows: "About ten o'clock on Tuesday night, Deputy Sheriff Barham and myself left the hotel for the purpose of capturing Claudio Carrizosa and Rafael Mirando, whom we had reason to know were in a house on Santa Ana street. As we approached the house a man emerged from it, who proved to be Mirando. Barham approached him, and was speaking to him when I saw Carrizosa jump on a horse which was standing at the rear of the house. As he did so, I told him to stop, but instead of doing so he leaned over upon one stirrup, thus partly shielding himself with the horse, and at the same time drew his pistol. As he did so I fired at him."

He has under cultivation this year 700 acres of land—500 acres of barley and 200 acres of Anaheim wheat, all of which is growing finely. Mr. Ritchie tried wheat raising some years ago, but abandoned it on account of rust; but he now has faith in the rust-resisting power of Anaheim wheat, and predicts that this county will soon be classed as one of the greatest wheat-growing counties in the State. His testimony as to the power of this wheat to mature under trying conditions is valuable. Late last season, he sowed 600 pounds of wheat, on land so dry that barley proved a failure, but the wheat made a very fair crop. Mr. Ritchie is also of the opinion that this season's crop of barley will bring a better price than it has for the past two years. He argues that the recent heavy shipments have materially reduced the stock of old barley in the State and that the area sown to barley this year is much less than in former years. Mr. Ritchie's views are very hopeful and cheering, and it may be added that they are concurred in by nearly everyone with whom we converse on the subject. There are two varieties of palm grown in Florida, one of which is known as the cabbage palm, and from its abundance is an unfailing source of food supply. The heart of the tree is very tender and succulent, and when cut into and removed is used in the same way as celery is with us, and we are told greatly resembles it in flavor and crispness. While the oranges raised there are probably equal to those produced in any other portion of the world, the bananas are inferior to those grown in tropical climes. A very severe degree of cold occasionally visits the State. Forty-four years ago the mercury fell to seven degrees in Florida and few orange trees survived. This is the severest temperature ever known to have visited that State. An Australian paper has the following interesting paragraph: In the second number of the S. A. Zeitung a simple method is recommended to protect wheat crops from the ravages of rust which I think it well worth a test. This remedy is said to have been successfully applied in Germany, and consists simply in mixing the seed wheat with rye, and sowing it thus. It is said that wheat sown in this way remains rust free. When the crop is grown and threshed, the wheat is separated from the rye by the aid of sieves constructed for that purpose. No scientific explanation of the efficacy of this remedy is at present attempted, but if it proves as efficacious as it is said to have been in Germany it is all we need to care about. I conclude therefore with: Try it. Ex-Gov. Downey, in a communication to the Express, gives his reasons for believing that the present condition of the wool market "is not abnormal, but the legitimate result of demand and supply." He says: There has but just concluded an unprecedented drought in Australia, one of the grand sources of wool supply, where flocks of fifty thousand head were reduced to two thousand five hundred, or to one-tenth. The next great wool supply was from the Argentine Republic. The terrible infundations of the great Pampas destroyed millions of sheep there. The Cape of Good Hope was also a great wool source, but the devastating wars of the Zulus have crippled and diminished that supply. In the year 1877, by reason of drought in our own State, half of our sheep died, and since then there has not been a decent lambing. The Russo-Turkish war destroyed another great source of wool supply. So you can easily see that the wool is not in the world to supply the demand. Two years ago the spindles running in wool fiber in France were 800,000; to-day they are 2,800,000. It will take five years of good seasons to re-establish the relations between demand and supply in the wool market, and indeed it is problematic if this relation will again exist in this generation. The following is an extract from a report of a temperance meeting held in the Larkin street Presbyterian church, San Francisco, last week: Mr. Clark made an address, in which he took occasion to deplore the fact that during the first week of the year prayers had been held in all the churches, but the subject of temperance had been completely ignored. People had time to pray for and sympathize with yellow fever sufferers, and distresses of every kind all over the world. But little attention was paid to the vital subject of temperance. An open saloon was worse than all. Because a little parasite called phylloxera had made its appearance on the grape vines of France, the tears and sympathy of the world were extended to that nation; and now a great-to-do is made over the fact that the phylloxera has found its way over it. It's well. My private opinion publicly expressed (and I want the reporters to make a note of it), is that it would prove a blessing if it attacked and demolished every vine in the State, and if my advice is followed, a week of prayer will be held, in which all will join in petitioning that the phylloxera may eat every grape-vine in the State, root and branch.

F.; and Whereas, It is the desire of the Lodge to pay a fitting tribute to his memory; therefore be it Resolved That Anaheim Lodge regards with profound regret the death of Brother Hawkins. Resolved That the Charter of the Lodge be draped in mourning for 30 days. Resolved That this expression of our appreciation of the worth of our deceased Brother, together with our sincere condolence for his loss, be forwarded to his bereaved statement of the amount of money which has been brought into this county of late by the sale of hogs would astonish those who have not given any thought to the subject, Deputy Sheriff Barham and myself left the hotel for the purpose of capturing Carriizosa and Rafael Mirando, whom we had reason to know were in a house on Santa Ana street. As we approached the house a man emerged from it, who proved to be Mirando. Barham approached him, and was speaking to him when I saw Carriizosa jump on a horse which was standing at the rear of the house. As he did so, I told him to stop, but instead of doing so he leaned over upon one stirrup, thus partly shielding himself with the horse, and at the same time drew his pistol. As he did so I fired at him and he fell, but he instantly sprang up and I again fired at him. He again jumped up and fired at me, and I emptied my revolver at him. I fired four shots, all there was in my pistol. The darkness was so intense that an object twenty yards distant could hardly be distinguished. When the firing ceased, Carriizosa made his escape into the dense growth of weeds and barley near the house, and the darkness prevented my following him. "Barham, in the meantime, had left Mirando and came to my assistance. As soon as we found that Carriizosa had escaped we ran to the house and Barham caught hold of Mirando, who was standing in the door. As soon as he saw me he broke away from Barham and ran into the house. Barham followed him and I ran to back door, which was forced open by Mirando as soon as I reached it. Seeing me, he bolted back into the house again, dodging through the rooms. A man and woman rose from a bed and obstructed me for a moment, but I dashed them aside and continued in pursuit. We finally found Mirando hid under a table, and dragged him out." It seems that one reason why Mr. Celis suspected Carriizosa of being implicated in the recent outrages, aside from his unsavory reputation, is that he saw him at San Gabriel Mission on Wednesday, a few hours before the robbery of Tuch's store. He had then a full board, which is now all shaved off. This Carriizosa is an undoubted outlaw, and it is said that he was wanted for other outrages than those enumerated. His brother, Santos Carriizosa, is now in San Quentin undergoing imprisonment for grand larceny. He it was who, a few days before his arrest for cattle stealing, was married in Anaheim, and gave a grand "blow out" in celebration of that event, at which dancing and feasting was carried on for more than twenty-four hours. On Wednesday morning, upon visiting the scene of the encounter, great pools of blood were seen on the ground. Blood tracks were also found leading along past the tannery on Palm street and along that street to a point on Los Angeles road where Spadra road branches off. Here it was evident that the robber had stood for some time, as there was a great pool of blood on the ground near the sign-board. From that point all trace was lost, and it is evident that succor reached the wounded man during the early morning. It is known that two of Carriizosa's friends left town on Wednesday morning just as daylight was break- In the second number of the S. A. Zeitung a simple method is recommended to protect wheat crops from the ravages of rust which I think it well worth a test. This remedy is said to have been successfully applied in Germany, and consists simply in mixing the seed wheat with rye, and sowing it thus. It is said that wheat sown in this way remains rust free. When the crop is grown and threshed, the wheat is separated from the rye by the aid of sieves constructed for that purpose. No scientific explanation of the efficacy of this remedy is at present attempted, but if it proves as efficacious as it is said to have been in Germany it is all we need to care about. I conclude therefore with: Try it. The chief end and aim of horticulturists in this State has been to coax the roots of their trees and vines to penetrate deep into the soil in search of moisture, but they know a trick worth two of that in another semitropical country, if the following newspaper waif is to be believed: "In South Australia, when planting orange trees, they dig a hole about fifteen inches deep, pave the bottom with the largest flagstones they can procure to prevent the roots from going any deeper into the ground, and the tree is planted near the surface. This is done to make them bear heavily." In answer to our query as to whether anyone had ever seen scale bugs on trees in an orchard which received proper care and cultivation, the Riverside Press says: The better cultivation an orchard receives the more vigorous will be its growth and the more easily do the trees repel the attacks of insects. A thrifty orchard will also throw off the black dust. As a tree becomes unhealthy its enemies attack it successfully. It is hardly safe to say that good cultivation is a sure preventative of the red scale, but it certainly assists in repelling the attacks of that as well as all other insects and enemies. It is said that there is now a market in San Francisco for China and heretofore unsalable lemons, they being used in the preparation of citron preserve. A gentleman, name not given, is said to have discovered a method of preparing the peel, so that it is not distinguishable from the prepared citron of commerce.

From that point all trace was lost, and it is evident that succor reached the wounded man during the early morning. It is known that two of Carrizosa's friends left town on Wednesday morning, just as daylight was breaking, taking with them a bundle of blankets, and it is surmised that they found him at the place indicated and took him with them. It is evident that Carrizosa is desperately wounded because he could be traced by the blood drips for over two miles. Dr. Morgan, who examined the blood, pronounced it to be undoubtedly human blood. Deputy Sheriff Barham took Mirando to Los Angeles on Wednesday morning's train, and lodged him in jail. It is said that the San Bernardino authorities have made a requisition for Mirando, he having committed a burglary in that county. The above was written on Wednesday morning, since which time active search has been made for the wounded robber, but without success. It is very evident that he has been spirted away by some of his friends, and it is equally evident that he is desperately wounded. Mr. Celis is very sanguine of effecting his capture, and has gone on a prospecting trip up the canyons where he thinks the fugitive may be hid. He is not in this immediate vicinity, as Messrs. Barham and Celis have made a most effectual search. It is said that evidence has been procured by officers in Los Angeles that Carrizosa was undoubtedly the leader of the gang which committed the recent outrages. GAZETTE. NO. 26 Correspondence THE OLIVE TREE. Wine and Oil Production Sister Industries—A Source of Wealth in Europe. SAN FRANCISCO, March 31, 1880. EDITOR GAZETTE:—The flora of the southern counties of this State is, without exception, repeated in positions of the South of Europe that have an identical climate. Cultivation during thousands of years, however, has enriched those countries with a greater variety of plants. Experiences that have been gathered through many generations have proved there what is most suitable in all kinds of soils and under quite a variety of climatic circumstances. Many a truth has been gathered, many a problem been solved, many an advantage been taken from experiments that failed or were successful in this new and fertile country; but more than one batch of apprentices will have to succeed our present progressive cultivators in order to find out what truly serves for the individual and common good, and which plant and what way it may most advantageously be cultivated. You have there the citrus varieties, the different grains, shade and fruit trees, that are either acclimated or will have to be substituted by more suitable kinds; you have many a garden, fruit and orchard product that seems to rival the best of other and older countries; you have the vine, and intelligence, interest and study have done much in a short period to develop its cultivation into a degree of perfection that honors those interested in this pursuit. There have been for the space of a century attempts at olive-growing. Olives and oil are produced, have on a dwarfish scale even become articles of sale, and seem to be recognized by many an intelligent farmer as of probable future importance. Now, the noble olive tree is exactly the object of my present letter. Just a few lines for your readers may contribute to strengthen their belief in such a probability, and excite them to do something to hasten streets the other day. He has been quite sick for some time. We read in a Los Angeles contemporary that "one of the founders of the Westminster Colony states that he expects to bring out 100 families next fall and locate them on the Monk tract near the Sierra Madre." P. P. C. calls are not in vogue here. Are they going out of fashion in Washington? We don't like being behind the times!! A Leap Year party was held in the Hall on Wednesday night; about 50 present. We are not eligible, and therefore cannot from personal observation report proceedings. However, youth and beauty combined would ensure a good time. Garden Grove Items. The third month of the school closes with an enrollment of fifty, an attendance of forty-six, and an average during the month of thirty-seven. The following names appear on the Roll of Honor for attendance and punctuality: Misses Bella Cook, Nellie Webster, and Masters Edward Averill, Robbie and Eddie Howe. In a rhetorical contest by the members of the second and third grades, whose productions were submitted to the votes of the pupils in the advanced grades, the following received a majority in the order of their names: Horace Head, Fred. Harris, Olive Hawkins, Sherman Buck, Robbie Howe, Eddie Howe and Walter Rice. Our friend Mr. R. P. Johnson reached his home in Illinois in safety, and although very weak, endured the journey better than was expected. The last glorious rain has been succeeded by such warm, favorable days, that the fields of grain are fairly bursting into promise of an abundant harvest. Why should emigrants search farther for a home, when this county offers a climate of unrivalled excellence, a soil of the most wonderful richness, and a succession of fruits and grains that only suggest one objection, namely: that farmers can have no rest-days; for something is always to be reaped or sown. Suitable arrangements for the celebration of the coming May-Day are already talked Savannah Items. On summing up the rainfall for the season in this section, we find that we have had a fraction over twelve inches—12 3-16.

Hannon was riding out with her little son and Mrs. Tony Forst, one of the tugs came unfastened, which so frightened the team that they jumped suddenly to one side, causing the wagon to careen enough to throw the occupants head first to the ground. Mrs. Hannon was quite seriously hurt, while the others only received light bruises. The horses became detached from the wagon and ran away. The only wonder is how the occupants of the wagon escaped more serious injury. Over $3,000 treight money was collected at our depot during last month. Our Literary Society met on Thursday night. The question "Woman's Rights" was thoroughly debated, and a decision, by a vote of the house, settled the question by leaving the ladies in slavery as before. Mr. J. H. Bennett was elected to the chair for one month, and Mr. Brace Gibson Secretary. Next question, Resolved: That men of thought are more useful than men of action. I believe that most of our ladies take the negative side of the question to win. The Republican primaries at the Monte last week resulted, I believe, in the election of Mr. Louis Melzer to the county convention. He is for Blaine for President. The neck-tie party at the Monte, Monday night, is said to have been a grand success. We think so too after seeing so many of the boys with their necks bandaged. Instructive Books. "Know Thyself" is quite as important in this age as in the days when the legend was inscribed over the door of the Grecian Temple. The reputation and fame of Prof. O. S. Fowler is unrivalled in his special line of philosophical thought, and his two recent productions, Human Science and Creative Science, are exhaustive treatises upon the all-important topics of man's physical, intellectual and moral development, and of his creative powers, mental and physical. All of the secret workings of the great laws of PHERNOLOGY, PHYSIOLOGY and PSYCHOLOGY, as applied to the individual man and woman and to all the varied personal adaptations of their mutual and sexual relations, are here freely discussed and chastely explained.

F. POHNDOREF. Westminster Items. Warm weather is now favoring us, which is much needed. After the heavy rains of last week, it will be a great blessing to vegetation, and growth seems almost perceptible. A terror to evil-doers is S. J. Finley, having been appointed constable for this town. Having such a stalwart officer, now let your masked men come on—he'll be on time. Miss Birdie Leffler commence school on Monday next with a start of 20 pupils. Whooping cough is prevalent just now among us. We were glad to see Mr. Carey on our search deep in a warmer portion of the soil for its food of water and minerals, and the sap will not freeze in the trunk and branches nor be hindered in its vital evolutions by reason of the rosin—a bad conductor of heat—which envelops the sap, if only the sun acts again on the leaves; and although the leaves of the tree make up a considerable surface, no harm will happen to the tree from drought or cold from the same reason which explains the protection afforded by rosin to the pine tree, so prosperous in a barren, sandy soil, and against the coldest winter temperature. My assertion surely is not needed, when the success of enterprising men like the Messrs. Kimball of San Diego and the example of men who, like Mr. B. Dreyfus in your midst, have demonstrated its acknowledgement by planting olive trees extensively, thus proving the truth of my hints. Traversing Southern European countries, one meets constantly vineyard and olive plantations on the same ground, a few rows of the former flanked by rows of olive trees. If a farmer might think this imprudent, then the border of a vineyard might, instead of hedge or fence, be utilized for olive trees, and the advantage of such an addition will be apparent after not many years. Olive-growing and oil-making have their literature, and periodicals dedicated to this industry are necessities in countries like Spain, France and Italy, where the annual production amounts to enormous sums. Occasional extracts from such periodicals adapted to the limited wants of this industry here, might foster the desire in many an agriculturist to begin to contribute to this branch by planting olive trees. German Syrup is the special prescription of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated German physician, and is acknowledged to be one of the most fortunate discoveries in medicine. It quickly cures coughs, colds, and all lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not an experimental medicine, but it has stood the test of years, giving satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Two million bottles sold annually. Beware of medicines of similar names lately introduced. Boschee's German Syrup was introduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world. Three doses will relieve any ordinary cough. Price 75 cents. Sample bottle, 10 cents.
