NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT ON THE 29th day of September, 1880, Alfred Beckett presented and filed in the said Court a verified petition claiming to be entitled to a conveyance from the Administrator with the Will annexed of Mara J.

Action brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, and the complaint died in said County of Los Angeles, in the office of the Clerk of said Superior Court. The people of the State of California send greeting to Mary Caroline Thomas and Ierdel Davies Thomas, Defendants. You are hereby required to appear in an action brought against you by the above named Plantiff in the superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, and to answer the complaint filed therein, within ten days (exclusive of the day of services), after the service on you of this Summary if served within this County; or, if served out of this County, within forty days—or judgment by default will be taken against you according to the prayer of said Complaint. COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE RAIL-ROAD. Large bodies move slowly, and that is probably the reason why the ponderous Railroad Commission has as yet failed to accomplish anything for the public weal. Whatever reductions in freight rates have been made by the Railroad Company were not the result of any action upon the part of the Commission, but were the voluntary action of the Railroad Company, inspired solely by considerations of business policy. The fact is, the people are getting tired of waiting upon the Commission for relief, and are casting about for methods to compel the railroad company to reduce their tariff to reasonable figures. They reason that if a six-mule team and a few lighters at Anaheim Landing can compel the great corporation to reduce the tariff on grain to a just and reasonable rate, that some other simple method can be discovered whereby the exorbitant rate on wine, for instance, can be brought down correspondingly. The Gazette has information that a meeting of wine growers was held in Los Angeles recently, to consider this question, and that delegates from Anaheim and other portions of the county were present. A long discussion was had and those present were unanimously of the opinion that if the Railroad Company did not reduce the rate on wine, the vineyardists would take concerted action to get their products to market in some other way. As those who were present at the meeting are somewhat reticent concerning what transpired, we are not aware whether any definite plan was agreed upon, but unless the rate is speedily reduced, the public will soon learn what methods the winemakers will take to circumvent the railroad. As it is extremely probable that the railroad authorities will have their attention called to this particular paragraph in the Gazette, we deem it best to mention here FACTS ABOUT SORGHUM. Visitors to the Fair next week should make a point of looking at the display of sorghum sugar and syrup which we are told will be made. There is every reason to believe that the growing of sorghum will soon become one of the leading agricultural industries of Los Angeles county. Nowhere does it grow better, and it is as rich in saccharine matter as any yet reported from other States. Sorghum-sugar making has become a great industry in several of the Eastern States, where conditions have to be contended against which do not exist here; and the success and profit attending the cultivation of the cane in this county is attested by the fact that the few farmers who have raised it past two years will the coming season go into the business on a larger scale than ever. It has been found that although the Minnesota Early Amber cane will grow on any soil which will mature corn, a light sandy soil suits it best. It will grow on alkali soil, but the syrup from such cane is dark-colored, and it is doubtful whether sugar would granulate from it. It is well known that the juice of beets which have absorbed alkali will not granulate, and it is probable that sorghum would be affected in the same way. The yield of syrup is marvelous. We have already stated that from one acre of garden Grove, 222 gallons of syrup were produced. In an address at an agricultural Fair in one of the Eastern States, Commissioner Le Duc said that from one acre of Minnesota Early Amber cane, sown broadcast, 525 gallons of syrup had been made—equal to 4,200 pounds of sugar. The profit of such a crop will be immense when we have a local factory to buy the syrup or cane and work it into sugar. An inkling of the quality of the sugar may be obtained when we state that forty-two tons of sorghum sugar were lately sold in Chicago for one cent per pound more than the Louisiana sugar marketed the same day. Sorghum has uses aside from sugar and syrup making. The seed is in great demand Action brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, and the complaint filed in said County of Los Angeles, in the office of the Clerk of said Superior Court. The people of the State of California send greeting to Mary Caroline Thomas and Jerdel Davies Thomas, Defendants. You are hereby required to appear in an action brought against you by the above named Plantiff in the Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, and to answer the complaint filed therein, within ten days (exclusive of the day of service), after the service on you of this Summons—if served within this County; or, if served out of this County, within forty days—or judgment by default will be taken against you according to the prayer of said Complaint. The said action is brought to obtain a degree of this Court for a partition of the land described as follows, to wit: (All that tract of land situate in the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, and to answer the complaint filed therein, within ten days (exclusive of the day of service), after the service on you of this Summons—if served within this County; or, if served out of this County, within forty days—or judgment by default will be taken against you according to the prayer of said Complaint). And you are hereby notified that if you fail to appear and answer the said Complaint as above required the said Plantiff will apply to the Court for the relief demanded in the Complaint. Given under my hand and the seal of the Superior Court, of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles, this 24 day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty.

OPINION that if the Railroad Company did not reduce the rate on wine, the vineyardists would take concerted action to get their products market in some other way. As those who were present at the meeting are somewhat reticent concerning what transpired, we are not aware whether any definite plan was agreed upon, but unless the rate is speedily reduced, the public will soon learn what methods the winemakers will take to circumvent the railroad. As it is extremely probable that the railroad authorities will have their attention called to this particular paragraph in the Gazette, we deem it best to mention here another cause of complaint which frequently occurs, in the hope that the remedy will be applied. Freight is not sent forward with the expedition that the shipping public have a right to expect, and annoying and sometimes costly delays are not infrequent. There can be no excuse, for instance, for the non-arrival at Anaheim on Thursday of a carload of freight which left San Francisco on the preceding Saturday, but we are told that this has happened more than once. In winter, when storms are frequent, due allowance must be made for inevitable delays, but in such weather as the present probably the only cause of delay is carelessness on the part of some of the Company's employees. THE EASTERN ELECTION. The prostration of the telegraph lines by storms have up to the present writing prevented the receipt of any elaborate election returns, but enough has come over the wires to indicate Republican victories in Ohio and Indiana. In the first-named State the Republicans claim a majority of 25,000.In 1876, Hayes had a majority in that State of only 7,516.The Republicans also claim to have elected 15 Congressmen—a gain of six. In Indiana, Porter, the Republican candidate for Governor, is elected by a small majority—somewhere between 1,000 and 4,000.In 1876, Tilden had a plurality in that State of 5,515.The Republicans have also elected eight if the thirteen Congressmen,a gain of two,and have secured a majority of the Legislature thus securing a United States Senator. It is a singular fact that in 1872 the Democrats carried Indiana in the October election by the small majority of 1,148,但the Republicans carried it in the following November by the large majority of 22,515.But on all other occasions since 1856 the course of the State in November was distinctly outlined in October. The New York Sun of October 6th,a copy of which has just reached us,has an editorial in which the following paragraph occurs: "Every man can in all probability be reasonably certain about the electoral votes of the States here named after the elections in Ohio and Indiana on Tuesday next.If both those States go for the Republicans,Garfield will be elected in November.If both those States go for the Democrats,Hancock will certainly be elected." MR. MCLELLAN,of San Jose,是 in no invible frame of mind,and we don't wonder at it.A horse was stolen from him some years ago,and on his testimony a man named Fisher was sent to San Quentin as the thief.Fisher,who claims to be innocent of the crime,served his term and returned to San Jose with the avowed purpose of killing McClellan.In pursuance of this holy purpose have already stated that from one acre at Garden Grove,222 gallons of syrup were produced.In an address at an agricultural Fair in one of the Eastern States,C commissioner Le Due said that from one acre of Minnesota Early Amber cane,sown broadcast,fifty gallons of syrup had been made—equal to 4,200 pounds of sugar.The profit of such a crop will be immense when we have a local factory to buy the syrup or cane and work it into sugar.An inkling of the quality of the sugar may be obtained when we state that forty-two tons of sorghum sugar were lately sold in Chicago for one cent per pound more than the Louisiana sugar marketed the same day. Sorghum has uses aside from sugar and syrup making.The seed is in great demand for chicken feed,a poultry thrive upon it better than on the food generally given to them;the skimmings from the syrup pans make an excellent quality of vinegar which can always be sold;and regarded merely as a forage plant it is the equal alfalfa。它 is rich and fattening well liked by stock,and will nearly not equal alfalfa in yield. We will soon be able to lay before our readers the result of experiments with common corn stalks.As soon as the crop of sorghum is worked up,Mr.F.P.A.gates will attempt to make syrup from corn.He made a preliminary experiment some time ago which betokened success.The juice of the same cane which yielded 222 gallons of syrup to the acre (referred to above) when tested in the sachrometer stood 6,and the juice of mature corn similarly tested stood 5。这 shows that the corn was but little behind the sorghum in saccharine matter,and gives reason to hope that a good syrup(if not sugar) can be made from something which has heretofore been considered worthless.Iff corn stalks prove to be of value,great indeed will be the chagrin felt by those who for years have destroyed them by fire or otherwise,ignorant of their worth. The riper cane gets,the better and clearer is the syrup produced.The syrup now being made by Mr.Gates is a great deal meier looking and better tasting than that made some weeks ago when the cane was comparatively green. We have at our office a sample of sugar made from sorghum by Mr.Gates It is sweet and bright looking,and shows the capabilities of the cane.Rev.Mr.Strong Westminster has taken some of the mush-sugar to San Francisco and will submit it to the refinery there to learn what they can afford to pay for such an article.We expect to get some information from him on his return. Mr.B.F.Sebibert has shown us a letter which he received other day from one of lessees of the Minnesota Amber Cane Refinery at Faribault,Minn.We make the following extracts: "I have had considerable conversation with Mr.S.A.Sheffield of your place,bbut at present living here He has had an opportunity informing himself ofthe successof my process in refining Amber cane and all sorghums into pure sugar and syrup. My object in writing to you is this: Please find out all you can ofthe condition ofthe best sugar factory inyour neighborhood andthe conditionofthe machinery;also.state what kindofa vacuum pan and size.I have proven my business here beyond a doubt.notwithstanding our extreme latitude.Here we sell allthe syrupwe can makeat60 cents per gallonwholesale,and average per acreisfrom100to125 gallons.From dataI hearyou can producefrom350to400 gallons per acre,bidesthe long seasontowork on sugar.Oursugarsarebeautifulandpolarizeashighas98.orashighthebeatWestIndies.The magnitudeof ANAHEIM WATER COMPANY.

By order of the Board of Directors. T.A.DARLING, Secretary. Anaheim, Cal., October 21, 1880. CITY BAKERY AND SALOON, GEORGE LERNER - PROPRIETOR. HAVING LEASED THE ABOVE NAMED PREMISES, I respectfully solicit the public patronage. Fresh broad delivered every day. In the Saloon will be kept the best of liquors and cigars. MR. McClellan, of San Jose, is in no enviable frame of mind, and we don't wonder at it. A horse was stolen from him some years ago, and on his testimony a man named Fisher was sent to San Quentin as the thief. Fisher, who claims to be innocent of the crime, served his term and returned to San Jose with the avowed purpose of killing McClellan. In pursuance of this holy purpose he shot two men on different nights, under the impression that they were his enemy, and it is thought that one of the victims will die. Fisher is unrepentant, and while deprecating his mistake, says that if he ever manages to escape from San Quentin, he will kill McClellan. That gentleman, as well as everybody bearing the slightest resemblance to him, should club together and hire an extra guard to keep the sanguinary Fisher from getting out of the State Prison. MRS. C.P.TAGGART of San Diego delivered a political address at that place on Tuesday night in which she paid particular attention to Wallace Leach. She did not take him up tenderly; lift him with care; fashioned so slenderly, young and so fair. On the contrary she lambasted him fearfully, charging him with every crime imaginable and supporting some of the charges by producing written substantiations of them. She said he was a mixture of Cain, Ishmael and Judas Iscariot—a Cain because he incited and procured a murderous attack upon her husband; an Ishmaelite because the hand of every honest man was against him, and a Judas Iscariot because he had repeatedly sold his friends for much less than 30 pieces of silver. At Shoal Creek, Nev., recently, a mother observed her little child putting its hand to its side as though suffering from pain. On examination she found three small punctures in the skin, which were much swollen. The child soon went into spasms and died. Just before its death it bit the mother, who remained sick several days. Soon after her recovery she saw a huge rattlemake come from under the doorstep where the child played, and then the mystery of the wounds was explained, My object in writing to you is this: Please find out all you can of the condition of the beet sugar factory in your neighborhood and the condition of the machinery; also, state what kind of a vacuum pan and size. I have proven my business here beyond a doubt, notwithstanding our extreme latitude. Here we sell all the syrup we can make at 60 cents per gallon, wholesale, and average per acre is from 100 to 125 gallons. From data, I hear you can produce from 350 to 400 gallons per acre, besides the long season to work on sugar. Our sugars are beautiful and polarize as high as 98, or as high as the best West Indies. The magnitude of such a business in your county can hardly be comprehended; hence I write to you to gain all the facts I can prior to making arrangements to visit California. I will soon send you press reports of my success here, so you will see I am not scheming." It is evident that the gentleman means business, but from the general tone of his letter we infer that he thinks the manufacture of syrup and sugar is largely carried on here. He will learn his mistake when this and previous numbers of the Gazette reach him. This is the first season that Amber cane has been grown to any great extent, but the success which has attended the initial experiments is so great that the business will assume large proportions next year. If such men as the writer of the above letter will come here, their experience and assistance will not only help and encourage the cultivators of sorghum but they themselves will realize handsomely in handling the syrup. The writer evidently appreciates the climatic conditions which obtain here. At the present time the cane is being crushed and the juice boiled in the open air, with only a brush or canvas covering overhead to screen the men at work from the sun's rays, and this condition of affairs will last for a couple of months yet or until the cane is all out. No costly stone buildings are necessary here, like the Minnesota Refinery, a vignette of which is on the letter before us. Our soil will produce double the amount of cane that the Minnesota soil will, and the sugar will polarize as high. If the inquiring gentleman can by any means get away from Paribault, he should visit here and make a personal inspection, and we have not the slightest doubt that the manifest superiority of this county for the growth of sorghum will induce him to remain here and invest his capital. GAZETTE. MAR 16, 1880. BUT SORGHUM. Our next week, should bring at the display of sorghum which we are told is every reason to be ing of sorghum will soon leading agricultural industry. Nowhere does it as rich in saccharine exported from other States. Sorghum has become a great of the Eastern States, have to be contended not exist here; and the attending the cultivation county is attested by the farmers who have raised it will the coming season on a larger scale than that although the Minneapolis will grow on any cere corn, a light sandy It will grow on alkali from such cane is dark doubtful whether sugar on it. It is well known facts which have absorbed alate, and it is probable be affected in the same sorghum is marvelous. We that from one acre of live, 222 gallons of syrup an address at an agrifood of the Eastern States, he said that from one early Amber cane, sown tons of syrup had been 100 pounds of sugar. The will be immense when ory to buy the syrup or no sugar. An inkling of sugar may be obtained forty-two tons of sorghly sold in Chicago more than the Louisiana same day. aside from sugar and seed is in great demand Agricultural and Horticultural Items. The wheat crop of Mr H. Newhall, on the San Francisco ranch, will reach 100,000 sacks—or 6,500 tons. He ships it all to San Francisco from Newhall by rail. The raisin crop at Riverside this year will be about 16,000 boxes. The damp, backward season has delayed curing and will perhaps militate somewhat against the quality of the crop. Orange groves are still being irrigated in this city. The trees hang full of green fruit, and it is thought that late irrigation will tend to make it larger and more salable. Commercial. A Gloria Mundi apple, weighing 1¼ pounds, from a Westminster orchard, shows what section can do in northern fruits. The apple crop at Westminster is very large this year, but the Arizona market will absorb all the fruit sent to it. From the San Joaquin Valley comes the complaint that there are not threshers enough to thresh the grain and that the winter rains will probably appear before all the wheat is taken from the field. A few weeks ago the same fear was prevalent here, but we are told that the stacks are getting perceptibly scarcer and that all the wheat will be threshed within the next two months. It is an undoubted fact that pears and plums will grow on soil so strongly impregnated with alkali that no vegetation but salt grass will thrive upon it. We lately saw trees of those varieties growing on land on which the alkali had killed every other kind of tree that had been planted upon it, and the taste of the fruit gave no indication of the nature of the soil. The champagne vintage of 1874 was one of the finest on record, both in quality and quantity, and the viticulturists of the Marne unhesitatingly pronounced it the vin Anglais par excellence. Just such another wine in point of quality is now on the eve of being vintaged on the declivities of the mountain of Rheima, and on the sunny slopes overlooking the river Marne. Unfortunately, however, the yield will be the smallest that has been known for many years past. Such a condition of things seldom presents itself, for in the champagne district quality and The champagne vintage of 1874 was one of the finest on record, both in quality and quantity, and the viticulturists of the Marne unhesitatingly pronounced it the vin Anglais par excellence. Just such another wine in point of quality is now on the eve of being vintaged on the declivities of the mountain of Rheims, and on the sunny slopes overlooking the river Marne. Unfortunately, however, the yield will be the smallest that has been known for many years past. Such a condition of things seldom presents itself, for in the champagne district quality and quantity usually go together. The Riverside Press truly says, speaking of the sugar beet question, that "it makes but little difference to the people of this section of the State whether a man succeeds or fails, as compared with the more important question, 'Is success possible?' Gennert may fail to make beet sugar, but others will succeed. The country appears to be all right, but Gennert is unfortunate. If superior sugar can be made at Alvarado out of Los Angeles sun-dried beets, good sugar can be made out of those same beets on the ground where they are grown; and if there is any profit in the business capitalists will soon discover the fact and invest their money." A Canadian paper publishes the following burlesque: A new sort of wheat, which is said to have been discovered in Arkansas about two years since, is attracting great attention amongst agriculturists in the United States. It is called wheat rici, and appears to be a marvel of hardness. It will live and thrive in ground so dry that other cereals would perish. It is said to be able to stand an eight months' drought, and besides this, is unaffected by the attacks of insects. The grain, which is somewhat smaller than that of corn, yields a fine and very nutritious flour and makes an excellent food for cattle. Its cost of cultivation is also much less than that of maize, wheat, rye or oats. Add to this that it contains 7 per cent more starch and oily matter than wheat and it will no matter for surprise that it excites attention. The Superintendent of the Alvarado beet sugar factory told a Chronicle reporter, in answer to a question as to whether he thought beet sugar culture could be made to succeed in Los Angeles county, that it was hard to say, but he inclined to the opinion that it could. It would not pay to raise beets to ship to that place to be made into sugar, but he believed that, with proper machinery and suitable processes in competent hands, it could be made profitable. His company had shown with Mr. Nadeau's beets that there was no insurmountable obstacle to sugar making in the beets. There was more alkali in them than in the Alvarado beets, the former containing about seven per cent and the latter from 1½ to 2 per cent. But this drawback was more than offset by the fact that beets could be raised cheaper in Los Angeles than about the bay. He thought that beets could be raised for $2.50 in Los Angeles with more profit than at $4 there, because of land being cheaper and other favoring causes. Prof. Hilgard has analyzed sun-dried beets sent from this county, and in a letter dated October 4th, says that he found their composition to be:—cane sugar, 51.5%; moisture, 11.2%; ash, 5.4%; other organic matters, by difference, 31.9%. He adds: It is easy to see that a material consisting more than half of sugar, and capable of definite preservation, stands on a very different basis, both as regards transportation and manufacture, from the heavy, bulky and Taylor has been at the head of the Church, but only President of the Twelve Apostles.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9. — The petition of Attorney-General Hart for a rehearing in the case of Wells, Fargo & Co., vs. the State Board of Equalization, has been denied by the Supreme Court. The case involved the question whether or not the State Board has a right to raise or lower individual assessments upon the assessment roll. The Court previously decided that the Board could not. It is reported that a combination has been perfected among grape buyers, to keep the price throughout the season at the present rates, twenty-two dollars per ton, although some crops have already been purchased at a higher figure. — Commercial.

In order not to be ashamed of them, let us use that standard dentifrice, SOZODONT, which is sure to keep them white and spotless. No tartar can encrust them, no canker affect the enamel, no species of decay infest the dental bone, if SOZODONT is regularly used. It is a botanical preparation, and its beneficial effect on the teeth and gums are miraculous, as it removes all discolorations, and renders the gums hard and rosy. I Wish Everybody to Know. Rev.

If there be any doubt that beet sugar factories can be made profitable in California, it can hardly be doubtful that the production of dried sugar beets can be made to pay as good profits to the producer as most other crops, and probably better than a good many now in favor. But it will take a good many more facts than have thus far come before me, to convince me that with the enormous advantages afforded by the possibility of cheap drying beets in this climate, sugar factories running on a sound business and technical basis cannot successfully compete, here on the spot, with either sugar cane or sorghum. A vineyardist of Healdaburg, speaking of manure and its effect, says: A few vines from each portion were selected and manured as follows: The first with barn-yard manure well rotted; the second with dead chickens from my yard; the third with ashes; the fourth with bones; the fifth with a mixture of bones and ashes; the sixth with chip manure from wood pile, well decomposed. It is impossible to give an estimate of the full effect of these measures yet, but this year, i.e., the year the manure was applied, the result was as follows: The vines manured with barn-yard manure looked well, and the growth of cane is large. The grapes, however, did not correspond, and every vine so manured mildewed. Those with animal manure, i.e., the dead chickens around them, are in better condition, but the yield does not attract attention. The ashes and bones each have given strong cause, a good yield of grapes, and the vines are very healthy. Combined they have an extraordinary effect—the vines are loaded. The chip manure has acted well, but not equal to either house or ashes, singly or combined. One vine, manured with ends from the wash tub, yields well, but the leaves look nicely and white.
