WEEKLY EIM GAZ ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA: SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1880. Agricultural and Horticultural Items. The Oregon correspondent of the Record-Union states that many farmers in the Willamette valley have been ruined by successive seasons of rust, and have been obliged to abandon their farms. Rust is feared this year also. Grasshoppers are destroying the wheat in Eastern Oregon. The Downey Courier reports that the castor bean crop of Mr. Pallett, on the Pico ranch, was completely destroyed by caterpillars last week. Mr. Tillman Bush has placed us under obligations for a sample of Anaheim wheat, which is the largest and plumpest that we have ever seen. He has twenty acres of this wheat, and Mr. Gwin and other experienced farmers give it as their opinion that it will yield twenty-five centals to the acre. Mr. Bush says that in all his experience he never saw a tiner field of wheat. He plowed the ground twice and prepared it as carefully as he did the soil back in old Missouri, when he used to sow hemp. He sowed the wheat about the middle of January, using good seed, which point he considers of as great importance as preparing the soil properly. He further believes that the Anaheim wheat is identical with the Mediterranean wheat grown in Missouri years ago, which was then a favorite variety, although millers preferred to mix a little May wheat with dark color. The Dark Horse. We take pleasure in introducing to our readers the dark horse entered for the race for the nomination of the Democratic convention for Sheriff. His name is R. M. Barham. From information as given by his friends, we are enabled to state what his prospects for the nomination are, and the grounds upon which they are based. In the first place, his Democracy is unquestionable. He has not only been a Democrat, but a working Democrat for twenty years, and has seen the party through troubling times during that period. In the next place, he is especially qualified for the position. He has served as an officer in the capacities of City Marshal, Constable and Deputy Sheriff, in Ukiah, Mendocino Co., in Watsonville, Santa Cruz Co., and in Los Angeles Co. During that period he has never had to pay one cent of what is technically known as "blood money," that is damages for false imprisonment, or for any other negligence in the discharge of his official duties. Any attorney who has had business with him will testify as to his careful manner of working, his judgment and his integrity. In the county of Santa Cruz, the banner Republican county of the State, he was constantly employed as a Deputy Sheriff, and was elected town Marshal on the score of his efficiency. United States Marshal Poole, a Republican, calls Barham "Old Supreme Court," a tribute to his thorough knowledge of the law on all questions. Correspondence The Other Side of the Water Question. EDITOR GAZETTE:—"A Fool's Errand, by one of the Fools," was the title of a book which enjoyed great popularity when it was first brought out a few months ago. But the author never embarked on a more foolish errand than does your correspondent "Irrigator" when he endeavors to prove that the Cajon ditch is not an expensive, inefficient and undesirable humbug. The purchase by the Anaheim Water Co. of a one-half interest in the so-called Cajon ditch was a previous mistake, but the responsibility for that mistake can be laid upon the shoulders of no one man. Those who are now most in favor of abandoning that ditch were in favor of purchasing it in 1877, but they now see the folly of fostering such an elephant and have the manliness and courage to acknowledge their former error. It is a work of supererogation to point out the defects of the Cajon ditch. We of Anaheim have frequent costly reminders of its mutility. It now costs $10 to bring one dollar's worth of water to Anaheim. And anyone who has closely inspected the ditch and the fast rotting flumes will see that the already too heavy expense of keeping it intact will be doubled each succeeding year. What is now required, is that the Anaheim Water Co. constructs a ditch of their own, employing as constructor a professional man of repute and experience, so that the ditch when built will be the very best which money can make.. With a ditch that does Mr. Bush says that in all his experience he never saw a tinier field of wheat. He plowed the ground twice and prepared it as carefully as he did the soil back in old Missouri, when he used to sow hemp. He sowed the wheat about the middle of January, using good seed, which point he considers as great importance as preparing the soil properly. He further believes that the Anaheim wheat is identical with the Mediterranean wheat grown in Missouri years ago, which was then a favorite variety, although millers preferred to mix a little May wheat with it to soften the dark color. Mr. E. Trunnell of Westminster has a small field of Anaheim wheat which will yield twenty-five centals to the acre. It should be noted, too, that this wheat is on land so strongly impregnated with alkali that corn will not grow upon it. Corn planted upon the same ground last year did not even sprout. Mr. T. brought to our office a fine sample of the wheat. The roots show that the fifty stalks which are in the bunch grew from one seed. Mr. Gennert informs us that the sugar-beet crop will be harvested at the end of this month. It is maturing now very rapidly and the beets are developing into great proportions. The analysis of the specimens brought to his laboratory a few weeks ago showed that they contained a very satisfactory per centage of sugar. The average yield of Naleau's seven hundred acres of beets near Florence will be about fifteen tons to the acre. There has been some damage done to the crop by gophers, but not to any serious extent. The sugarie will be ready for the beets as soon as they are harvested. The machinery is all in place, and the finishing touches are being put to the building. The fine prospect of the sugar-beet crop and the certainty that it will prove profitable to the agriculturist and to the manufacturer, will induce very extensive planting of beets next year, and the erection of other sugaries in our county. Another war is pending. Dispatches from Constantinople convey the intelligence that Turkey is rapidly placing its army on a war footing, and the news from Greece is to the same effect. From other sources, it is learned that a war between these two countries is inevitable. Such a war can only have one ending—the dissolution of Turkey. The Bulletin sums up the situation and the probable outcome in the following: Turkey is no more inclined to accept the conclusions of the second Berlin Conference than she was of the first. Greece will proceed to take possession of that part of Epirus and Thessaly included in the findings of the Conference. According to the dispatches today the two countries are on the eve of a war. The outcome will be different from the last war between these countries. The allied Powers will probably wait for an overt act on the part of Turkey, when intervention will be the order of the day. The latter step means another partition—perhaps a final one. The Greeks, with their energetic King, will take just what the Berlin Conference has conceded, and just what the Porte and the power behind it had refused. This good and very prosperous German colony and pretty business town lies on the branch railroad to Santa Ana, 27 miles from Los Angeles, in a sandy region. The land was considered worthless until this German colony took up the tract, laid it out in 20-acre lots, set out each lot with vines, fruit trees, etc., cultivated it in common for three years, when they cast lots for the property, each one getting their share, since which time it has grown into the most prosperous colony in California. These setlers are now rich, and have not only built up a pretty business town, but one of the prettiest settlements in this section. Anahiem has been incorporated, and the progress of the town has been very creditable. This is one of the most prosperous and successful of all the colonies in this State, and was commenced some eighteen years ago, by some fifty males rious Germans who made vineyards their specialty, and have converted a heretofore worthless cactus patch into the most productive vineyards in this efficiency. United States Marshal Poole, a Republican, calls Barham "Old Supreme Court," a tribute to his thorough knowledge of the law on all questions touching his class of work. Poole will certify that in the course of all his long experience as an officer he never met Barham's superior. The manner in which he aided Marshal Poole in the difficult, delicate and dangerous duty of ejecting the settlers of Las Silos earned him not only the gratitude of Poole, but the lasting friendship of the settlers themselves. With these endorsements from men of political opinions opposed to Barham's own, there is but one conclusion to be reached, and that is that he is a thoroughly efficient, industrious and painstaking officer of undoubted integrity. Again, the Democrats of the Fourth Supervisor district are a unit for him and urge his nomination outside of personal considerations. They say they represent one-fifth of the population of the county and pay a proportionate amount of taxes. They say they have not had a nomination for a responsible office in a Democratic convention for a coon's age. They point to the numerous nominations which the Republican, New Constitution, Independent and Workingmen's parties have given the Fourth Supervisor district and ask why they get nothing from the Democracy. Now, say they, we present the Democracy with a man in every way competent and ask his nomination. In all common justice and reason aside from motives of policy, can it be refused? With unquestioned capacity and integrity, and a splendid Democratic record, with hundreds of political opponents ready to support him, and a strong section of the county a unit for him, his friends think not. As a last argument be it said that since California has been a State, Anaheim has never had a nomination at the hands of the Democracy, and it at last asks one. It surely deserves what it asks. The people of Los Angeles city ought to be able to appreciate the situation since it so identically resembles their own position in State and Congressional matters. Anthelm.

Greece will proceed to take possession of that part of Epirus and Thessaly included in the findings of the Conference. According to the dispatches to-day the two countries are on the eve of a war. The outcome will be different from the last war between these countries. The allied Powers will probably wait for an overt act on the part of Turkey, when intervention will be the order of the day. The latter step means another partition—perhaps a final one. The Greeks, with their energetic King, will take just what the Berlin Conference has conceded, and just what the Porte and the power behind it had refused. The little cloud in the European horizon may be larger to-morrow. There is no prospect at present of any extended European complications, because the allied Powers are a unit about this concession. But if the difficulty should lead to forecable intervention, France and England, and perhaps other European powers might confront the Turks with armies of sufficient magnitude to settle the question at an early day. The Assessor of San Bernardino is enforcing the law relating to assessments very rigidly. He has assessed the water ditches in that county at sums very near their value. The old San Bernardino ditch is assessed at $12,000, and the Sunnyside ditch at $10,000. There is no doubt that, the law authorizes such assessments, and it ought to be amended so as to exclude from taxation irrigating ditches which are maintained at a steady loss. Board of Supervisors. Tuesday, July 6. The Board met this day in consequence of the previous day being a holiday—full board present with clerk. The Board then adjourned as a Board of Supervisors and met as a Board of Equalization and received the county assessment roll for the year 1880. Duplicate assessment rolls were dispensed with and the clerk instructed to so notify the County Auditor. Adjourned as a Board of Equalization. Resignation of W. S. Ritchey, constable for Santa Ana township accepted, and J. C. Hickey appointed to fill vacancy. Resignation of G. M. Holaday, J. P., of Fountain Valley township, accepted. On motion the County Recorder was allowed an additional deputy. Petition of West and Hamilton asking for an increased salary as Deputy Recorders placed on file. Washington, July 3.—A recent Consular report states that a Chinese mandarin has established a farm of 50,000 acres about fifty miles north of Tientsin, which he proposes to have conducted upon Western principles. Stock raising will be an important feature. This is one of the most prosperous and successful of all the colonies in this State, and was commenced some eighteen years ago, by some fifty menorious Germans who made vineyards their specialty, and have converted a heretofore worthless cactus patch into the most productive vineyards in California; the natural result of patient, persevering industry, and the fertilizing mud of the Santa Ana river. Anaheim is the second town in Los Angeles county, and now contains 2,000 people, and we found about as much thrift and real prosperity as in any town in Southern California. It is located in one of the richest portions of this great valley, on a gently sloping plain. The town is steadily increasing in population. Land is rich near Anaheim, and the price not very high. We found one good hotel, restaurant, one dry goods store, seven dry goods and grocery stores, two livery stables, etc., etc. Anaheim boasts of her public schools, and has erected a new four-class school building at a cost of $13,000. Four teachers are now employed at salaries of $100, $75, $65 and $60. Number of school census children, 340; number in attendance, 220. We saw much to admire in the fields, yards and gardens in this beautiful place. The Presbyterians have a good church here and the Episcopalians have built a nice church since our last visit to Anaheim, costing $4,000. A sad accident occurred at the camp of a San Francisco military company which had gone to Monterey to celebrate the Fourth. About ten o'clock Sunday morning B. F. Hastings of Company C, and W. C. Burke and Spencer C. Buckbee of Company G went to a tent which had been set apart for the magazine, and Hastings started to open a 25 pound keg of powder with a hatchet. At the first blow an explosion occurred. Burke was killed almost instantly, and Hastings was mangled and burned past recognition. As he was carried away for medical aid he cried, "My God, this is all my carelessness." He may possibly recover. Buckbee is only slightly hurt. The explosion created a great momentary consternation, and the tent and the articles in the vicinity were blown in all directions. The disaster put an end to the festivities and the company returned home. As suggested by Irrigator there are several natural reservoirs along the western portion of the Cajon ditch which with a little outlay of labor and money can be made available for all present purposes; but more particularly the one pointed out by him is the natural reservoir of Mr Kreamer's connected directly at flume 12 by the Cajon ditch, which is the western terminus owned by the Anaheim Water Co., the value of which is not fully appreciated by that company today, but may be in the future. At this point the Anaheim Water Company could take their share of water out of the Cajon ditch and deliver it in Mr. Kreamer's reservoir at all times, but more particularly during the months that they can use their old ditch, and that would be say eight months in the year, and let it remain here until called for, which would be say about the first May. Thus by this means irrigators would be assured of plenty of water when their crops needed it, and all anxiety and uneasiness avoided. Also by this method of irrigation purchasers of water would receive a more uniform and steady stream, not being subject to a rise and fall of the water in the river as is the present case under the best conditions. The zanjero by knowing the number of heads he needed for any particular day, all that would be necessary for him to do would be to raise the gate connecting with the ditch to a certain height and the desired amount of water would flow out of the reservoir into the ditch, and allowing for some seepage and evaporation, an exactness would be arrived at which can be done under no other conditions. Now Mr. Editor, I am afraid I am enervosing too much upon your columns with this water question, but the absolute occasion requires it, hence the reason for the above remarks. Trusting and hoping a speedy solution of our future water supply, I am, Respectfully, Wm. Crowther. GAZETTE. NO. 39 INCOME of the Water ation.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—In company with my sister I left Anahheim for a short tour on June 29th, and on our journey noted the following: The first place we visited was Artemia; this, though producing some Anahheim Odessa wheat, is preeminently the land of cornfields. But little irrigation is this year needed; the crops are far advanced, of good color, and farmers are correspondingly jubilant. As is the case about Anahheim, barley is somewhat shriveled; but we are no exception in this respect, for the same trouble prevails universally throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, and, I am informed, those north of here. The wheat fields of Artemia look uncommonly well, and as maturity is now fully reached we may state that a heavy yield of an excellent quality is theirs. Anahheim Odessa wheat is the "stand by" here. Fruits, most of which are of northern varieties, promise an abundance; and berries, as blackberries, strawberries and currants, are very plentiful. The leading interests are farming and dairying, and the first heavy cereals—corn and wheat—receive the most attention. Fields of corn and castor beans on the road to Los Angeles looked well, as did the orchards of citrus and northern fruit. A field of flax matured without irrigation on the plains of the Stearns' ranch. From Los Angeles we went to the San Fernando valley. For the benefit of those who think wheat raising with us to be a business of slight importance and for the information of others we intend to devote a separate article to this place, and expect to show that the wheat interests of Los Angeles county are, in respect to magnitude and successfulness, now second to none. Suffice it to say at present in the thousands of acres no rust or bight was seen, and, moreover, the dry winds and weather did but slight injury. We passed through the Declines the Honor. EDITOR GAZETTE:—Allow me to correct the honest mistake, influentially circulated through the Gazette's editorial, imputing to me a candidacy expectant on our approaching Democratic Convention for one of its important State-office nominations. I simply reiterate my invariable reply to the frequent and kind suggestions to such candidacy when I say that I have not been, am not now and positively shall not be a candidate for any office whatever. Because the public mistake has drawn out this positive public disclaimer of a Democrat's political aspirations, which coming from the average American younger than Tilden and less frequent than Grant, might seem to imply a lack of faith in the success of one's own party, allow me to keep things even in this little episode by adding that in Democratic weather, both fair and foul; I am without political aspirations; that among the instances in illustration, prior to my residence west, was the neglected offer of official honor by an ascendant Democracy, joined in the offer, because of special reasons, by a large number of the opposition; that I declined to go before the Los Angeles Democratic Convention last year for its most important nomination, where the honor of an assured nomination by acclamation counterbalanced the usual chances of defeat; and lastly, (wherein is a friction of our political faith, Mr. Editor.) allow me to finish evening up in this, that at no time since 1856 have I been, as at present, fully confident of county, State and National Democratic victories. JOHN H. SHIELDS. Florence, Cal. Bridging the British Channel. The seasick Briton who will have patience to live a few years longer will possibly find Bridging the British Channel. The seasick Briton who will have patience to live a few years longer will possibly find himself rewarded by being able to pass from his little island to the mainland without a qualm. Perhaps he may float over to France in an airship when the problem has been solved of aerial navigation. Perhaps he may cross beneath the Channel, through that tunnel of the future, whose experimental shaft has been so promisingly sunk on the French coast. Perhaps, finally, he may travel in a railway car or bridge as quietly as on mother earth. Preposterous as it may seem, this last project—that of bridging the channel—is under serious consideration. M. Venare de Ste. Anne has already laid his plans for the purpose before the French and Belgian Chambers of Commerce, and has received the adhesion of quite fondscore of their members; next he is to lay them before the British scientific societies, and then to ask the aid of the British Government. The first thing to strike one in this project is that the proposed bridge must have piers, and that piers will be rather difficult and costly to build. The bridge is not to cross between Dover and Calais, but a little to the west—from Folkestone to Cape Grinnez. The distance here is about 21 miles but about three-sevenths of the way out; from Folkestone, or about nine miles from the English coast and twelve from the French, is Varne Rock, and not far beyond that the Calbert Reef. The former is really a kind of rocky plateau, about 25 miles broad, and along the greater part of its surface is only 50 feet under water, while at some points it is only 7 feet. Here then, it is obvious, is a practicable point for erecting at a comparatively slight expense, an extensive port or half-way station. In other words, the problem will be reduced to that of two connecting bridges, one being nine miles long, and the other twelve. Again, official soundings show that the greatest depth along the proposed route is about 180 feet; and this depth exists only for about one-ninth of the entire distance. However, the problem of piers for this distance, and, in fact, for the whole distance, save the long rock and reef just mentioned, is a serious one. M. de Ste. Anne concludes that it is useless to attempt to build up his columns for the bridge on foundations deeper than 65 feet under water. He therefore proposes to create foundations at the required points by dropping huge masses of rocks into the channel, and holding them with cement. The process is well known; but the prodigious quantity of material to be required for this purpose would at first seem to make the project out of the question. Still, it is an amount that can be calculated with approximate accuracy after experiment. M. de Ste. Anne does not propose to have any of his spans exceed 650 feet. This would give about eight to the mile, or more accurately, as he estimates, about 175 to the entire distance. Here again, the enormous cost of the foundations and columns is indicated. But now another difficulty comes into view—the impeding of navigation. To avoid this the bridge floor will have to be carried I would ask, in what find the city of Los Angeles water resources if it was she has five reservoirs usually, thus assuring irrigation when demanded. From which Los Angeles is no greater than that of any imitating the busy bee lines, has more than sufficient demands during any example worthy of all and I might go on citing them; in fact I don't know any note but had to prog water during the time order to supply themselves. Westminster Items. Although no celebration took place here, the anniversary of the "glorious Fourth" was announced at early morn by the firing of a salute, and our peal of one bell aroused the patriots from their slumber. The Fourth falling on a Sunday was a good excuse for some to keep up a three-days holiday, so that they might be sure of celebrating the right day. Our headers and harvesting hands are still busy. So far, this has been a most favorable season for harvesting, as we have not had the usual bane of fogs and excessive heat. Mr. House and family, also Mrs. Wiggins and family, leave us for Canada this week. We wish them Bon Voyage. We hear that the congregation of the Presbyterian church have given a unanimous call to the Rev. Mr. White, who has been officiating in their church for the past month. Professor Day, of Los Angeles, paid this settlement a visit on Wednesday. Mr. Townsend informs us that his Amber cane is likely to yield a good volunteer crop this year. Many of our people were present at the Artesia camp meeting, and several took a prominent part in the proceedings. Mr. Willie Edwards is the happy father of a fine boy, 10 pounds good weight. We don't know who is the proudest, grandpa or the youthful father! We congratulate both. "The Westminster Presbyterian social will be held in the Hall next week, on Friday, July 16th. Ice cream, and a good time promised to all. Admission free." Washington, July 2.—A new dinner and tea service, ordered for the White House some time ago from Limoges, France, arrived this afternoon and was spread out for the inspection of Mrs. Hayes. It consists of over 500 pieces and cost $3,000. It is ornamented with appropriate figures and scenes. It is a set of the finest porcelain, and is said to surpass anything in America. Home Made Vinegar. Steep a pint of good firm corn in two and a half gallons of cold water for two or three hours, and then put it on the fire and boil it until the corn shows signs of bursting. Take it off before the grains do burst and strain off the liquor, adding half a pound of sugar to each gallon. Place the tank or the jug containing it in the sun, and in three weeks or a month the liquor will be converted into good vinegar. The writer tried this receipt, using molasses instead of sugar in one case, but the sugar makes far the best vinegar. It is both good and cheap. Large quantities can be made by using proportionate quantities of corn, water and sugar. And it is more wholesome than the stuff called "pure cider vinegar," which has in it so much acids of various kinds. Cider, if pure, and white wine if not adulterated, are good but real malt vinegar is the best of all. Boston Journal of Commerce. Washington, July 6.—The President today signed the commission of David M. Key, of Tennessee, to be United States District Judge of the eastern and middle districts of Tennessee, and of Horace Maynard, of Tennessee, to be Postmaster General of the United States.
