Schuyler, Assistant State Engineer, who has been in Los Angeles for the past month, has selected his assistants to enable him to carry out the investigation of irrigation matters, for which the last Legislature appropriated $10,000. The engineers to whom has been entrusted the gathering of the required facts are Messrs. H. J. Stephenson, Geo. C. Knox, A. Oldenburgh and J. E. Jackson, and the scope and general aim of their labors is laid down in the following instructions with which each of the gentlemen named has been furnished: Los Angeles, August 4th, 1880. The State Engineer Department desires to obtain definite knowledge of the extent, character and position of the irrigated and irrigable lands of this section, together with exact data concerning the quality of the soils, having special reference to their adaptability to irrigation. This information can only be obtained with accuracy by a detailed personal examination of the country. You are therefore directed to make such examination, designating upon blank township plats furnished you, the general boundaries of the various classes of land existing in the territory assigned you; the natural topographical features of the country; the subdivisions and ownership of the land; the position of the irrigating canals and ditches; the location of land cultivated, with or without irrigation; the nature of the crops produced; the general slope of the country; and such other data as may serve to convey an intelligent idea of the characteristics of each particular Agricultural and Horticultural Items. In the discussion of the phylloxera question at a meeting of winegrowers in St. Helena, it was stated that irrigation was the most effective preventive against the pest, and that vineyards already affected could be saved from destruction if they could be flooded. If this is true—and there seems no reason to doubt it, as phylloxera have never yet been found in irrigated vineyards—all fears of its ultimate appearance in Anaheim may be discarded. At the same meeting it was asserted that non-cultivation of vineyards was a remedy for phylloxera; that the insect required a loose soil to enable it to travel, and that where the ground was allowed to bake and become hard the insect would die out. The objection that cultivation was necessary was met with the assertion that that was an exploded idea. In olden times the Spaniards tramped the soil around their vines, and the crops were as abundant as that produced by the most thoroughly-cultivated vineyards of to-day. Mr. Wetmore cited the big grape vine at Santa Barbara, which bore enormously, and which was never cultivated; in fact, a dancing floor was laid under it. He further stated that in the celebrated Bordeaux district in France the vines are set so close together (2000 to the acre) that their cultivation is impossible. Political Points. The following ticket was nominated by the Republican County Convention last week, and announced in a Gazette extra, printed after our regular edition had gone to press: Members of Assembly—F. P. Ramirez, J. J. Morton. Sheriff—A. T. Currier. County Clerk—H. C. Austin. District Attorney—J. G. Howard. Recorder—Chas. C. Lamb. Auditor—J. W. Potts. Treasurer—Louis Lichtenberger. Tax Collector—J. H. Lothrop. Surveyor—E. T. Wright. Coroner—E. Neitzke. For Supervisors—First district, H. C. Hubbard; second district, W. N. Monroe; third district—W. S. Maxwell; fifth district—N. A. Narbonne; seventh district—J. H. Moesser. The Supervisoral Convention of this district (the sixth) will meet at Norwalk on the third Saturday in September—one week after the meeting of the Democratic Supervisorial Convention in Anaheim. The following County Central Committee was appointed: Member at large, J.F.Crank; first district, H.A.Barclay, D.W.Fields; second, W.W.Monroe, W.H.H.Russell; third, Geo.E.Gard, F.A.Gibson; fourth, L.Meyer, C.Burdick; fifth, J.J.Morton, J.Bixby; sixth, D.E.Miles, G.Decker; seventh, R.H.Dibble, Geo.W.Freeman.

You are therefore directed to make such examination, designating upon blank township plats furnished you, the general boundaries of the various classes of land existing in the territory assigned you; the natural topographical features of the country; the subdivisions and ownership of the land; the position of the irrigating canals and ditches; the location of land cultivated, with or without irrigation; the nature of the crops produced; the general slope of the country; and such other data as may serve to convey an intelligent idea of the characteristics of each particular section of the country. Practice of Irrigation.—In the irrigated districts you will be expected to obtain information relative to the practice of irrigation, selecting a few representative cases in each district. This data will consist of notes on the character of crops irrigated; the nature of the soil and its behavior under irrigation (i.e., whether it permits of lateral percolation, absorbs water freely, is retentive of moisture, etc., or whether it takes water slowly, bakes and cracks on the surface after application of water, etc.); the depth and nature of the subsoil; effect of irrigation upon subsurface waters; depth to water; length of time the land has been irrigated; number of waterings usually applied each year for the different crops; length of the irrigating season for various crops (i.e., date of first and last regular waterings); amount usually applied at each irrigation; the method of preparing the land for irrigation; and the opinions of irrigators on the best methods of using water. The amount of water used may oftentimes be conveniently ascertained by measuring the stream at the overfall or office of discharge and noting the time required to wet a given area. The costs and results of the various methods of preparing the soil, the cost of irrigation for labor and water per season or per watering should be ascertained, and the "head" or volume of water most economical to use under various circumstances. The methods of applying water should be described in each case—whether by flooding the entire surface, by wetting a portion from ditches with furrows, check-basins, or pipes, or by saturating the land by percolation. Local regulations governing the division, distribution and use of water, management and maintenance of works, and all facts illustrating the advantages or disadvantages arising from any peculiar form of organization, should be specially noted, and copies of by-laws and regulations of irrigation associations obtained where practicable. Canal data.—Concerning the main works of irrigation, the information desired is: Length, dimensions, grade per mile, cost, cost of annual repairs, character of soil traversed, state of repair and general condition. Sketches of head-gates, distributing gates, measuring boxes and other important structures, showing dimensions and style of construction, are desirable when they can be conveniently obtained. Marked instances of either frugality or waste of water should be noted, together with any imperfections in the system of drainage—a subject so important to the health of an irrigating community, and so seriously affecting the fertility of the soil. The general object of the investigation is to obtain a thorough insight into all facts bearing upon the subject of irrigation, its effects upon the health and prosperity of the people, the result of the artificial application of water upon the soil itself, and the possibilities of a wide extension of the system through the country with the water supply now available. That degree of diligence, tact and close observation which you are expected to exert special reference to their adaptability to irrigation.

That Degree Of Diligence Tact And Observation Which You Are Expected To Exercise Special Reference To Their Adaptability To Irrration This information can only be obtained with accuracy by a detailed personal examination relative to this practice for irrigation in a county in Anaheim. The following County Central Committee was appointed: Member at large J.F.Crank; first district H.A.Barclay, D.W.Wields; second W.W.Mooree; third G.O.E.Rardley; candidate for Republican party for office Of Tax Collector; lost a leg while serving his country in The Federal Army. Rev Mr.Reese, Greenback-Labor candidate for Tax Collector; obtained on strength in his having lost an arm in service Of The Lord! It appears from a paragraph in The Los Angeles Herald that somebody in Anaheim has been taking the editor's paper to task for an alleged lukewarmness in his support OF The County ticket. The correspondent in question evidently does not enjoy intimate acquaintance with The Herald or its editor, or he would never have accused Mr.Lynch if any luchre is rallying to support a regular Democratic ticket. Mr.Lynch is one of those stalwart who would with his facile pen investiture The Deil with every honest and patriotic attribute if that person secured a Democratic nomination. And if there is one thing more than another which we envy in himThe gentleman it is facility with which he comes smiling up to scratch after having had his favorite candidate knocked clean over the ropes. It would seem as if if memory of Troy Dye, The Sacramento Public Administrator who committed murder for his sake OF administering THE estate OF his victim,and who was hung thereafter would have remained green long enough in mind OF public especially near their scene OF his crime and expulsion,tothe cause caused THE Legislature to remember THE office and make provision for it. But it seems that in this list OF offices which THE Legislature declared should be filled if that Public Administrator is not mentioned,and a succeeding Legislature will be called upon to remedy THE omission.

The rate on grain from Anaheim, Orange, Santa Ana, Compton and other places in the county has been increased 102 per cent. The rate on first-class freight from Sacramento to Anaheim has been increased 27 per cent. The increase in second-class freight ranges from 11 to 37 per cent, and on third-class freight the increase is from 17 to 50 per cent. The San Francisco Record-Union, from which we quote, says that the tables show that there are more reductions than increases by a great majority between Sacramento and the more than 1000 shipping points in the State. The following from the Downey Courier reads as if the writer intended to be sarcastic: "The Democratic County Convention for the county of Los Angeles is over, and the banner Democratic township of the County (Los Nietos) has been honored with the nomination of the candidate for Coroner. The Supervisors' Convention for the sixth district, failing to agree upon a candidate, adjourned to meet some time next month. We could name a man in the city of Los Angeles that would accept the honorable position if tendered to him, but we forbear. Every Democrat should rally to the support of the ticket, from top to bottom." The Republican nominee for District Attorney has a correct appreciation of the fight in store for him—an appreciation which he quaintly expressed to the Convention in these words: A fair damsel glides gracefully along the river banks. By her side lolls her uncouth, unrefined brother. "Dearest relative," exclaimed this fair maiden, with eyes upturned to heaven, "tell, oh! tell me, brother, where are the clouds going?" "Going to thunder!" Let us girl ourselves for the thunder and shock of this coming canvass! "Et ta, Brute!" Wm. F. White, when asked by a reporter of the Bodie Free Press what influence Kearney would have in the coming campaign, replied in the following language: "None at all. He is as dead as Hugh Glenn. He is not the man I took him to be, and is not, I fancy, particularly honest. The people of this State won't follow a knave and blackguard; they are too intelligent." Hon. Wm. Sharon, of San Francisco, has formally announced his intention of being a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate from Nevada. It is also stated on good authority that Mr. Sharon intends to visit Nevada some time in the near future.

NO. 44 The Greenback-Labor Party held a county Convention in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and after transacting the preliminary business they passed a resolution to the effect that they would not indorse the nominees of any other party or make any alliance with any other party.

All citizens, male and female, over the age of 21 years, who believe that the traffic intoxicating liquors as a beverage should be suppressed, and that sober persons of good moral character only should be elected to office, are invited to participate in the convention. —Louis Cohn, a merchant of Spadra, died on last Sunday night from the effects of a gun wound, which at the present writing is supposed to have been inflicted by a man named Juan Martinez. The shot was fired on Wednesday of last week, but the victim lingered alive until Sunday. The Los Angeles papers give the following particulars: Mr. Cohn had been much depressed in spirits on account of business troubles, and Our wanderers Eastward have all returned, and once more gladden us by their genial smiles and familiar voices. Even R.P.Johnson, from whom we parted with and forebodings, is home again, certainly improved. He contemplates a trip to the mountains soon, for the further benefit of his health. Although our prodigals evidence by their loss of flesh and color that Illinois and Iowa cannot compare with California in healthfulness of climate, we are glad to welcome the shadows of their former selves, and will soon eradicate the ravages of heat and malaria and make them as good as new. Speaking of climate, Mr.Con.Howe thinks that he can now present the most substantial proof that our boasting in this direction is not in vain. It is an eleven-pound boy. The church, which has stepped forth complete and without the incubus of a debt, will be dedicated on Sabbath, August 22d, by its devoted little band of earnest, self-denying workers, to whom much credit is due for the successful issue of their efforts amid the discouraging circumstances of the past two years. The school re-opens on next Monday under the same instructor as formerly. The abundance and excellence of the fruit crop demands, it seems to us, a cannery, which shall secure to us a market and revenue for our surplus products. We would be glad to see established among us the nucleus of an industry in this line, like that which has enriched the farmers around Elgin, Illinois and other points not as favorably situated for raising fruit, sweet corn, tomatoes, etc. as we are in this county. Who will move in this matter? With the prospect of a speedy completion of the S.P.R.R. as an outlet for our products, and the steady increase in the quantity of fruit raised, as well as its acknowledged superiority, why should not capital and energy be directed this way? The wonderful growth of the Elgin canneries from its modest beginning under a shed shows what can be accomplished by pluck and determination—and here is a fairer and richer field for similar triumphs. If this industry could be initiated, it would give a wonderful impetus to the cultivation of grains and fruits demanded for canning, and give employment to many hands and vastly increase the prosperity of this part of the State.

Louis Cohn, a merchant of Spadra, died on last Sunday night from the effects of a gun wound, which at the present writing is supposed to have been inflicted by a man named Juan Martinez. The shot was fired on Wednesday of last week, but the victim lingered alive until Sunday. The Los Angeles papers give the following particulars: Mr. Cohn had been much depressed in spirits on account of business troubles, and at times had been deranged. He expressed a wish to die, and it is believed by some that he hired a Mexican named Juan Martinez to shoot him. No one witnessed the occurrence. The shooting was done with a shotgun, the charge entering his body just below the heart. He walked out in front of his store, his clothing on fire. Juan Martinez was with him. Mr. Cohn called to a man who was passing, and said he was shot. The man assisted in tearing off the burning clothing, and took Mr. Cohn in his wagon to Spadra. Cohn said he did not know how the shooting occurred. He did not accuse Martinez, but said Martinez was a bad man, and that he had stolen his gold watch. Three days afterward the watch was found in possession of Martinez, and was given up to Mr. Cohn's nephew. Dr. Tanner has finished his fast of forty days, and is in good physical condition. During the forty days of astinence he lost 26 pounds, weighing at the outcome 121½ pounds. In New York, where the fasting was done, few question the genniness of the test, as he was closely watched all the time by reputable physicians. The scene on the fortyth day is thus described: New York, August 7th.—At 7 o'clock this morning Dr. Tanner had a fit of vomiting. He got up and dressed at 7:30. He was much exhausted and lay down on a cot. He remained there until 10:15, when he went into the lower hall. After a walk he laid down, and was covered with a blanket. At 10:50 the Doctor rose and walked into the front room of the hall, where was a fine spread of watermelons, fruits, bread, etc. At 11 the Doctor stood at a window on the Thirteenth street side of the building, looking out upon the crowd. Just before noon the temperature of the Doctor was 99, pulse 92, respiration 17. On leaving the hall the Doctor walked unassisted down stairs with a slice of melon in his hand. He received an ovation from the crowds in the streets, shops and windows, exhibited much gratification at the hearty reception. 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. K. 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 Consumptive Cure." It is having a tremendous sale over our counters, and is giving perfect satisfaction in all cases of lung disease, such as nothing else has done. Bourbon, Ind., May 15 1878, Drs.

Is there any reason why you should go on from day to day complaining with Sour Stomach, Sick Headache, Habitual Costiveness, Palpitation of the Heart, Heartburn, Waterbrash, Gnawing and burning Pains at the pit of the Stomach, Yellow Skin, Coated Tongue and disagreeable taste in the mouth. Coming up of food after eating, Low Spirits, etc? No! It is positively your own fault if you do. Go to your Druggist, Wm. M. Higgins, and get a Bottle of Green's August Flower for 70 cents, and your cure is certain; but if you doubt this, get a Sample Bottle for 10 cents and try it. Two doses will relieve you. Armed to the Teeth Is a very common expression, but we think that armed to embellish and preserve them to a ripe old age is decidedly more appropriate. This can be done by keeping yourself supplied with a bottle of that splendid dentifrice, Fragrant SOZODONT, which will beautify the teeth and preserve them from the ravages of decay. SOZODONT contains no acids or gritty substances which injure the enamel, but is composed of rare and antiseptic herbs, which have a beneficial effect on the whole economy of the month. Sold by druggists. The entire compilation of the means returns will occupy three years, although a large force of statisticians are already engaged in the work.
