Blaine will stump Californi WEEKLY CIM GAZ ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1880. The Supreme Court issued a writ of mandate on Tuesday to compel the City Treasurer of San Francisco to satisfy the judgment of $82,000 against the city on account of the destruction of private property by the mob during the riots of July, 1877. Wellock, the aforetime Vice-President of the W. P. C., emote a woman's fist with his nose at the sand lot last Sunday, because she objected to his speaking in opposition to the regular sand lot orators. Any man who would lay his nose upon a woman except in the way of kindness, is fit for treason, stratagem and spoils. At the Presidential election in 1864, California gave Lincoln 62,134 votes and McClellan 43,841. In 1868, Grant had a majority over Seymour of 506 votes, and in 1872 Grant beat Greeley 13,302 votes. In 1876 the vote of California stood: Hayes, 78,614; Tilden, 75,845. The Constitution of this State provides that no one shall have the right of suffrage who shall not have become naturalized at least ninety days before election. It follows, therefore, that all unnaturalized persons who desire to cast their vote at the Presidential election on November 2nd should get their names on the great register before the 3d of County School Fund Apportionment. The following is the fourth quarterly apportionment of the County School Fund. The apportionment is made according to Sec. 1858 of the new School Law. It will be seen that Anaheim comes next to Los Angeles in the amount apportioned: Anaheim ... $294.95 Alamoda ... $169.05 Artesia ... $102.00 Azusa ... $268.25 Ballona ... $119.45 Bay View ... $21.45 Bug Dale ... $102.00 Bison Grunde ... $102.00 Cohntoga ... $185.30 Centralia ... $25.50 Cerritos ... $42.50 Clenaga ... $130.05 Delhi ... $25.50 Diamond ... $21.45 Duarte ... $101.15 El Monte ... $124.05 Elizabeth Lake ... $79.05 Fair View ... $34.85 Florence ... $90.50 Pountain Valley ... $51.85 Garden Grove ... $45.85 Green Meadows ... $92.85 La Dow ... $68.85 La Puenta ... $111.35 Little Lake ... $73.35 Los Angeles ... $232.85 Los Nietos ... $30.95 Lugo ... $70.95 Malisland ... $70.95 Newhall ... $70.95 New Hope ... $47.95 Newport ... $47.95 New River ... $47.95 Ocean View ... $50.95 Olive ... $47.95 Orangethorpe ... $47.95 Orange ... $47.95 Palomares ... $210.95 Correspondence The Santa Anita Ranch. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Your reporter, while taking a long retrospective view of our many resorts of princely wealth and queenly beauty, and wondering with which one of these he had best commence, was accosted with what proved to be the very maze his wandering mind had sought. This was an old friend whom we shall call Arnal, "tried and true," known for a lifetime, and one on which your reporter expected to draw for something interesting. Upon being interrogated relative to the heading of this chapter he replied, "O yes, I have seen some of the things that go to make this country the home of Los Angeles (the angels, and I think the angels must have brains as well as wings) though I confess I had not before known that there is so much beauty in our county, nor had I ever dreamed of such Crocs like wealth as lies at our near neighbors' dours. Now, though, have I seen with my eyes and heard with my ears the things which before I called only dreams of the Elysium. Many may boast, but none can excel in natural beauty or in magnificent improvements the thousands of acres of wealth and beauty that combine to form the famous Santa Anita Ranch. Truly may the lord of all this—our common pride — be styled 'Lucky Baldwin.' Seeing that the subject of our interview was about to branch out in orthodox style, we thought it high time to be looking up our quill and inkhorn, and know- The Constitution of this State provides that no one shall have the right of suffrage who shall not have become naturalized at least ninety days before election. It follows, therefore, that all unnaturalized persons who desire to cast their vote at the Presidential election on November 2nd should get their names on the great register before the 3d of August. Local option is making headway in England. In the House of Commons on last Friday Sir Wilfred Lawson's local option resolution, giving to the inhabitants of any district the right to determine whether licenses to public houses shall be rendered or not, and which has been rejected in several successive sessions, was adopted—ayes 229, noes, 203. Gladstone and Lord Hartington voted against the bill, and Foster, Sir William Harcourt, Mr. Chamberlain and some other members of the Government voted for it. The Democratic Convention at Cincinnati on Thursday nominated Gen. Winfield S. Hancock of Pennsylvania for President and James H. English of Connecticut for Vice President. The nomination for President was made on the second ballot. The ballotings are here given: FIRST BALLOT. Field, 65; Bayard, 149; Morrison, 62; Hendrieks, 49½; Thurman, 68½; Hancock, 171; Payne, 85; McDonald, 3; Loveland, 5; Seymour, 8; McClellan, 2; Jewett, 1; English, 1; Randall, 5; Lathrop, 8; Tilden, 38; Parker 1; Black, 1. SECOND BALLOT. Hancock, 705; Hendrickx, 30; Bayard, 2; Tilden, 1. "If I had only put out a vineyard when I first came here!" is the regretful exclamation one often hears nowadays. It is getting to be a fact, accepted by almost everybody, that horticulture and not agriculture will eventually be the mainstay of Los Angeles county. The growing of the citrus fruits and vines is an industry which can never be afflicted with the viscosities to which the tarmer is almost annually subjected, and the profits of these branches of horticulture are principely in comparison with those of the raising of cereals. It would be a wise plan for the people of this county to contract their farming operations and pay more attention to the growing of grapes, oranges, lemons and other fruits. The up-country papers say that the north wind, which for seven days blew with more or less violence, has blighted the grain crops in a great degree. The fields that have suffered most are those in the upper Sacramento valley, from Tehama to Bear river, and still more, those in the San Joaquin Valley. In Memoriam. HALL OF ANAHEIM LODGE No. 207, F. & A. M. At a stated meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. & A. M., the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Architect of the Universe to remove from our midst our well-beloved Brother, James H. Yocum, a Past Master of Ashland Lodge F. & A. M., of Ashland, Pennsylvania, therefore be it Resolved, That while we bow with humble submission to the will of the Almighty, we do not the less mourn for our Brother who has been taken from us. Resolved, That the heartfelt sympathies of this Lodge be extended to his family in their affection. Resolved, That there resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this Ledge and a copy thereof be transmitted to the family of our deceased Brother and a copy be furnished the Anaheim Gazette for publication.

"Hold, friend Arnal, till I get my phonograph, for I want to preserve what you are going to give, and if you don't object, the public may have a gaze on your favorite picture." "As you like," was the ready response," but all I promise is an occasional glimpse of what must be seen to be fully known. "And right here, let me say to those who take an interest in the land they make their home that they cannot spend a few days with greater pleasure than in visiting some of the oldest and largest ranches in the eastern and northern parts of our county." Here your reporter confessed to an ordinate hunger for the good things he might have in store. And rolling his toothpick to the other side, shading one eye with his hat, and using the top of the next chair for a footstool, he launched bravely out. "Well, as I said before," you'll find this mountain-walled forest-covered Santa Anita ranch second to none, and with it I might as well commence." We said," Certainly." "They have about 15,000 acres in cultivation up there, and of course this with a large paeturage puts things on a pretty broad basis. If one desires to see the orchards etc., about the best way to approach would be from the south, where on the opposite side of the road lies the largest vineyard our county can boast, and all of which is in a tight box fence three or four feet high. The Anita orchards will lie at the north side of the road, and when south of the ranch houses,a high double gate will give entrance to the drive. This, by the way, is the largest drive of a similar character on private premises in this part of the State,and through most of its length lies in the heart of a blooming orchard of orange trees. All monotony is broken,however,byn occasional walnut forest or a grove of lighter lemon trees,或a glimpse through other trees to quiet vineyards lying beyond. "The visitor in passing through the shades of this drive may know that he is surrounded by ten thousand orange trees,以 a full complement of the rest of the citrus fraternity and their compere,s,the English walnut,and with these，about the full catalogue of other trees for use and ornament. This long drive leads to what at first sight appears to be only a labyrinth of trees,Lawns and flowers,and nectling at the foot of a forest-covered range of hills which lowering yield their coosest shades and spiciest breezes as trophies to the enchantment of dame Nature's fairest garden.But when gained,这 reward to nature and man proves，在 reality，to be the portals to nobler works of man beyond. "At the very first turn will rise into view whole lines of stately buildings,farm equipages，stock corrals，and a modest little town peopled with helping labor.Soon will be noticed between the visitor and this a beautiful little stream whose source is lost in the shades of winding canyons，但which ripples softly through the grass和 cane and under drooping white-leaved willows，但is often hushed in little ponds that stand no longer like shining beads on a The up-country papers say that the north wind, which for seven days blew with more or less violence, has blighted the grain crops in a great degree. The fields that have suffered most are those in the upper Sacramento valley, from Tehama to Bear river, and still more, those in the San Joaquin valley, from Stockton to Fresno. Just before these winds began to blow the crop prospects were better than they had been for many years, and calculations as to the aggregate of the wheat harvest varied from 45,000,000 to above 50,000,000 bushels. Many reckoned upon an average of twenty bushels to the acre for the entire State, and none upon less than eighteen. The same persons will now be satisfied with an aggregate of 32,000,000 bushels, and in many regions the loss is estimated at nearly one-half from this one cause, in quality and quantity. The last Legislature passed an act, to take immediate effect, which reads as follows: The Boards of Supervisors in the several counties of this State are hereby authorized, when application is made in writing by five legal voters of any voting precinct in the county, to appoint a commission of such number as they shall deem necessary, to inspect fruit trees and vines within the district for which they shall have been appointed; and in case disease of any kind be found among said trees or vines (which is extending and likely to extend to neighboring vineyards or orchards), said commission may order such action taken by the removal of such trees or vines, or otherwise as they may deem necessary for the public good; provided such commission shall serve without compensation, and the labor necessary to comply with their recommendations shall be at the expense of the owner of the property. At the regular monthly meeting of the Los Angeles Beekeeper's Association, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved That we deprecate the practice indulged in by some basmen of moving beans down from their established apiaries into the valley to prey upon the surrounding fruit without permission of the owners of said fruit; and that we also deprecate the practice indulged in by some fruit men of poisoning and trapping bean. James G. Hinsie and Gen. C. Gerhams will stump California for Garfield. Corrected weekly by Spear, Meade & Co., No. 316 and 318 Washington St. S. P. Barley—Coast feed, 65@67½; Chevalier, 90@$1 15.

Smith & Patton, who have a large crop of wheat in the San Fernando valley, commenced harvesting last Tuesday. They raised the Australian variety this year, and are much pleased with the result. The yield is very large, and the weight of the grain is about 140 lb to the standard sack. Last year the same sack was used and the weight was but 127 lb. The kernels of wheat are not larger than last year but have more body, and this is said to be the case in the valley generally.—Herald. An intelligent Italian, who has been familiar with olive culture from his infancy, says that eventually the California olive will surpass the best produced in France or Spain. It is now larger and of better flavor and yields an oil equal to the imported article.—Tulare Times. Washington, June 19.—Gen. John A. Sutter, the discoverer of gold in California, died here yesterday. He had been sick about a weak with inflammation of the kidneys. His widow resides at Litesa, Lancaster Co., Pa., to which place his remains will be taken. New Orleans, June 17.—Jefferson Davis, Juhal A. Early and J. U. Paine testified in the case of the will of Sarah A. Deresey, who left Davis her legacy, contested on the ground of undue influence, which Davis emphatically denied. Mrs. Deresey, he said, believed that the Confederacy still existed, that its truths were eternal and should prevail. He believed this too, and if that was insanity both he and Mrs. Deresey were crazy. At the very first turn will rise into view whole lanes of stately buildings, farming equipages, stock corrals, and a modest little town peopleled with helping labor. Soon will be noticed between the visitor and this a beautiful little stream whose source is lost in the shades of winding canyons, but which ripples softly through the grass and cane and under drooping white-leaved willows, but is often hushed in little ponds that stand its course like shining beads on a thread of silver, and at last finds repose in a tranquil lake that mirrors back again all the surrounding scene. Beyond this lies a pasture and forest, and further still, the barrier of all the Coast Range of mountains, rising abruptly with their waving pines almost to the snow limit. In fact, as late as the middle of May the snowy mantle covers all these peaks. "From the point of first vision, the dwellings will lie a few rods to the right, but may be unnoticed among the spreading trees that almost hide it from sight. The first object to receive attention after the mind has tried, though perchance in vain, to grasp the whole situation, will be an artificial pond at the left. This is lined entirely with cement and receives its supply from a ditch built of brick and lined similarly to the reservoir. In this flows water as limpid pure and sparkling as when it was first distilled upon the snow encircled brow of the mountains at whose feet it courses. A few rods further shows the pride of equine hospitality—a palace for the comfort and luxury of the finest of the many excellent stands this place can boost, and among which are found some of the best that course the California turf. This structure is built with four wings to the cardinal points and has two broad entrances; heavy mouldings in modern French Villa style lend to it an appearance which to our country is yet a novel one; and an imposing air is given by amounting the whole with an immense double tower, rounded and covered cupola-like, and bearing in the top story an open observatory which commands a view of nearly the whole ranch. "The drives to the building are lined with evergreen trees, and are elevated to its entrance between presumed brick walls terminating at the outer ends with ornamental posts. The stable has a small two-glass window susceptible of being raised or lowered, at the front of each stall, and full dwelling sized windows throughout the other parts. The ceilings which are remarkably high are lined as is the rest of the interior with narrow strips of wood stained in imitation of cherry and walnut, placed alternately. Lettuce work below and ornamental designs above immer ample ventilation. Favored steeds are they who can claim such a home as this." GAZETTE. NO. 37 Garden Grove Items. The Social was a success. The recitations by the little folks, always attractive, was especially so on this particular evening. Misses Percie Head and Stella Price with wife Frank McBarney rendered their speeches with clear enunciation and all the natural grace of childhood, while Lulu Kirkpatrick's sweet voice well expressed the sentiment of the song she sang so finely with the guitar accompaniment. The select reading by Guessie Stanfield, and the dialogue by our amateurs were well received. The music under the efficient management of Mrs. Fellows was a rendition of the peculiar, weird, but charming melodies of the "Tennessee" the sable singers who have been drawing full and delighted houses in the Eastern States. The performance by our songsters was so animated, harmonious and true to color, that it elicited hearty applause and a peremptory encore. We were glad to see among the friends present Miss Rose Campbell of Anaheim, Mr. and Mrs. Wim Cook of Santa Ana and Mr. Lyon and lady with Mrs. Duann from Westminster. May this be an inauguration of neighborly civilities which shall soon place us upon a lasting social plane, higher and more cordial than has hitherto existed. The wheat harvest is now in progress, and is surprising our whilom discouraged farmers by the plumpness and abundance of its grain. We retract our heresy—wheat can be successfully raised in Garden Grove and will pay large returns; 30, 40 and 50 bushels to the acre, so say the now jubilant farmers. The Santa Ana wind was not as damaging as at first feared, and the heavy fog here did wonders with fields given up as past redemption. A brighter day is dawning for us and soon we rightly adjust our I had not before touch beauty in our named of such Crocs nor near neighbors' I seen with my eyes the things lonely dreams of the but none can excel magnificent improvements of wealth and form the famous truly may the Lord of pride — be styled that the subject to branch out in light it high time to beINKhorn, and know lose no time in.

Around them are bevys of quail which no one is allowed to molest. The accommodations here, mine hostess assures me, are as good as country towns often afford. At the end of the drives lies the lumber yard, which sinn would be a credit to many valley settlements. Opposite the hotel and on the other drive, is the sleeping house—a two story nicely finished building from which one has a distant view of the interior of the machine sheds with their nine arched stalls, containing everything from a thresher to a one horse harrow. Further on are large storage houses for grain, baled hay, etc. Last in the row and opposite the second stable mentioned is its exact counterpart. "All the buildings are painted white, and the more important ones are finished in heavy mouldings and handsome designs." "What about the stock that makes these things necessary," we asked. "One thing," be replied, "is that all about them would be too long a story. Another is that lovers of fine stock would find here some horses of rare beauty. The proprietor has of late years taken special pride in racing stock, and has now on the track and in training some animals that promise famous records. A private track has been fitted up and half a dozen or more colts are now in training. Some Echo horses are expected to be on the track in time for next season's races. A few of these colts were taken to Sacramento during the last fair, and made good records. Of draft animals, there are some fine specimens, both of mules and of horses. Good horses seem to be one of the proprietor's passions." "His vineyards and orchards?" by way of a leader. "Well, judging from the refining establishments, they are in keeping with the rest of things. I don't know how many acres there are, but was told by the nursery-man that there were 250,000 vines. Separate and large buildings are used for clarifying, distilling, fermenting and storing. In the building devoted to the last named purpose are to be found in a single cellar 48 casks each having a capacity of 1500 gallons. A French distiller is in charge here. A flourishing cooper shop, of course is a necessity, and with the other departments in full blast, this corner keeps up a business-like appearance. Orange trees number 10,000; lemon, 1,000; walnut, 1,000; and to this are to be added 20,000 budded trees now in nursery but to be planted next season. Orchards of other fruits will invite the visitors' attention, and be he admirer of northern, tropical, or semi-tropical fruits, he will find unto suit his fancy." "I suppose, Arnal, that the residence is the climax to all this!" was our next guess. He shook his head. "Not exactly. In fact, its appearance, though comfortable and pleasing, has induced the owner to erect a handsome country villa which is now near completion. The old mansion is situated on the bank of an artificial lake some 300 or 400 yards long and half as wide. On its banks are bending willows, nodding ferns and waving grass; on its surface float black goose and white ones, white cranes and brown ones, turtles and cormorants, and their sisters and their cousins; and beneath sport the finny tribes, and mermaids, too. If we own the spall that bound us there. Into this flows the mountain stream mentioned, and from it issues a waterfall which yields all the quiet scene could lack. The old rustic bridge is here by the dripping stone wall, covered over with moss, and above them are the trees, and there are birds with their nests and songs. "Around the old ranch house are velvet lawns, as green as the heavy boughs that shade them over. From sunny nooks and by winding walks, rare flowers of every hue accent the passing brettes, that play around me." The wheat harvest is now in progress, and is surprising our whilom discouraged farmers by the plumpresses and abundance of its grain. We retract our barsey—wheat can be successfully raised in Garden Grove and will pay large returns; 30, 40 and 50 bushels to the sore, so say the new jubilant farmers. The Santa Ana wind was not as damaging as at first feared, and the heavy fogs here did wonder with fields given up as past demotion. A brighter day is dawning for us, and as soon as we rightly adjust ourselves to the soil, climate and possibilities of our part of the State, we shall make the desert rejoice, and change the groan of the grumbler to the sowing, reaping and harvest songs of the contented laborer. Mr. McKay and family from San Francisco, who have purchased the property of Mr. James Sturgias, are domiciled among us. We cordially welcome them, and hope they will find their new home so attractive as to leave no regret for what they have left. A. S. A. Westminster Items. A few days ago we visited the ranch of Mr. J. Beckett, and it certainly surprised us to see a place which was but an open plain less than two years ago, brought to such a high state of cultivation, and all its surroundings leading one to suppose that it must be an old established home. The grape vines were full of promise for a large crop, while the peach and apricot trees were quite loaded and bending with the weight of the fruit. Quince trees only set out this season in bearing, and melon vines with good sized melons already in them. A magnificent wheat field and a good alfalfa patch also betokena the same energy and good farming. We hear that our distinguished fellow citizen, M. B. Craig, is likely to become a candidate on the Democratic ticket for the office of County Recorder. Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Craig are at the hot springs 6 miles above San Bernardino, taking advantage of the sulphur baths. Mr. and Mrs. Dunn celebrated their fin wedding on the 16th istat. Quite a house full assembled in honor of the event, leaving behind them evidences of their esteem in items of tin. Our people will disperse on the Fourth, as no celebration will be held here. The Landing, Ritchie's Grove and Artensia Camp Meeting will be the places of resort. Miss Birdie Leffler's school closes on Friday next with the usual closing exercises. Harvest is progressing and hands are scarce. The Social on Tuesday evening last gave us usual satisfaction. We hear the Congregational Social was appointed for July 20, at the Hall. Editor Gazette:—As so many writers have long since written full descriptions of the scenery on the Central and Union Pacific railroads, I will only give a few items on the route. In passing through Tulare county, we saw but few good pieces of heavy whest; in fact the crops look better in Los Angeles county than any seen on the whole route to Council Bluffs, Iowa. In crossing Sierra Nevada mountains, I had quite a long conversation with the Workingman's self-sacrificing leader, Denis Kearney. He was on his way to the Chicago Workingmen and Greenback Convention (of humbugs). We had four car loads of passengers through; there were two delegates Return will rise into view by early buildings, farming fields, and a modest little helping labor.

"Around the old ranch house are velvet lawns, as green as the heavy boughs that shade them over. From sunny nooks and by winding walks, rare flowers of every hue scent the passing breeses, that play around the strolling frequenters and whisper to each welcome that is always there for all who enjoy a respite from the dusty paths of life, and who love such Elysian beauty and quiet repose as this place affords. A broad, low porch, with its swinging basket of vines and mosses, borders the house on two sides and ends only at the portals of a magnificent floral conservatory. The glass walls and roof admit the sunshine smiles from the mother of flowers, and on them are bestowed every hue that earth can give and the spotless white that heaven grants. "But parer and more beautiful than them all is the generosity and kind friendship of those at whose disposal all this enjoyment in. If on a pleasant afternoon you choose to visit the place, a condid welcome will perhaps meet you on the lawns, and a silver-haired lady, at whose hand it is given, will make you feel that your enjoyment is her pleasure and that a genuine hospitality is the crowning grace to all this influence. We all will know her as the wife of the man who owned, and after whom was named the world-reowned Dexter. But I know her more as, among many great things, the noblest of them all. "On the border of the lake, with steps leading down to the water, in the new village, almost completed. A large entrance, with drawing rooms and sitting rooms, comprise the entire building save a central tower of three stories high. In the walls of this (near the windows), as in the parlors, are niches for some fine specimens of statuary. The second story of the tower is surrounded with glas, but the third is a round-roofed observatory, below which lies the lake in all its beauty, the beats, the birds, the trees, the forms, the old ranch house, with its lawns and its driven walks and flowers, the stream, the waterfall, the bridge, the stately barn, the shop, the hotel, the winery, the pastures, the town, the vineyards, the orchards, the forests, the ranch with all it contains, the valley with its broad plains and rolling hills, the distant towns, the ocean, the islands—the queen county of California." Though knowing an editor's patience to be exhausted, your repertoire thought it policy to check the tide until another leisure. So after receiving the compliments of all friend Arnal took up his rainman and departed. June 14th, 1830. EDITOR GAZETTE:—As so many writers have long since written full descriptions of the scenery on the Central and Union Pacific railroads, I will only give a few items on the route. In passing through Tulare county, we saw but few good pieces of heavy wheat; in fact the crops look better in Los Angeles county than any seen on the whole route to Council Bluffs, Iowa. In crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains, I had quite a long conversation with the Workingmen's self-sacrificing leader, Denis Kearney. He was on his way to the Chicago Workingmen and Greenback Convention (of humbugs). We had four car loads of passengers through; there were two delegates aboard to the Democratic Convention at Cincinnati, so your readers will see as once that we did not lack for talent on our train. Lucky for us ignorant folks that the delegates were aboard. The best grazing we found (that is for stock) was in the Platte valley where there are thousands of cattle feeding. The wheat crops on the Platte are about a complete failure; from Council Bluffs to St. Joe., Mo., crops look very good. On our arrival at St. Joe, we were amazed at the amount of improvements in the city. New water works are being built and water pipe is being laid all over the city. The pipe in the mains is 22 inches, 18 inches and 6 inches. Money is quite plenty, and very good wages for mechanics. Times, we understand, are getting better all over the State. You will please publish the above for skepticism to read. J. H. B. We Challenge the World.
