WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 12, 1881 A MATTER OF GREAT IMPORTANCE. Importers of grape cuttings from the northern counties ought to be aware of the danger of introducing into this section some of the noxious insects which infest the vineyards of the north, and they should, for their own protection, adopt every possible precaution against the propagation of pests which will grow even as the cuttings on which they were brought, and which will ultimately attack the vineyard just as it begins to be remunerative. It is bad policy to send north for any cuttings which can be bought here, but when necessity compels the importation of cuttings they should, immediately upon their arrival, be disinfected, to the end that any pest which may be clinging to them be destroyed. The mode of disinfecting most generally adopted is to immerse the cuttings in a strong solution of blue-stone for ten or fifteen minutes, having previously soaked them for a day or two in fresh water so that the blue-stone bath will not affect them injuriously. Still another method is recommended by Mr. Blowers, 'of Woodland, Yolo county. He disinfects all his cuttings in the following manner: Two parts of lime to one part of sulphur, boiled in an iron cauldron until the liquid becomes what is known as liver of lime (sulphide of lime in solution); reduce with water to one-third or fourth its strength; put in a wooden tank; immerse bundles of cuttings PROGRESS OF THE DIVISION MOVEMENT. Slow progress is being made in the matter of county division. The trouble appears to be that the ten lawyers who compose the Assembly Judiciary Committee hold ten different opinions as to the constitutionality of every bill that is brought before them. They reported against the bill first introduced to create the county of Orange because it was special legislation, and now it is understood that they hold the general bill for the division of counties to be unconstitutional, and say that counties can only be created by special legislation. Too much law and too little common sense seems to be the trouble with the committee. The friends of the measure have concluded to push the general bill to passage, and leave the matter of its constitutionality to be decided hereafter by the Supreme Court. On last Monday, Mr. Hendrick, Chairman of the Committee on County Boundaries, reported for passage, as amended, Assembly Bill No. 369, which is the general bill above referred to. In commenting upon this question, the Sacramento correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle says: "The Los Angeles delegation are in a sad quandary. Mr. Crank introduced a bill in the Assembly to create the county of Orange. This the Judiciary Committee declared to be unconstitutional, and it was withdrawn. Then he and Senator West brought forward general bills for the formation of counties. These measures the Senate Judiciary Committee has decided to be in conflict with the fundamental law. The question which now agitates the minds of the Angelinos WESTMINSTER. After an absence of one could hardly fail to notice here. We arrived Saturday although it had been raining for some hours the roads. This was a great surprise retained vivid recollection dotted here and there we causing traveling about Winter to be anything but rare.

It requires no great amount of discernment to see that the legality of the acts of the present county officials will be called into question at no distant day, and another method is recommended by Mr. Blowers, 'of Woodland, Yolo county. He disinfects all his cuttings in the following manner: Two parts of lime to one part of sulphur, boiled in an iron cauldron until the liquid becomes what is known as liver of lime (sulphide of lime in solution); reduce with water to one-third or fourth its strength; put in a wooden tank; immerse bundles of cuttings for a few minutes; take them out and let them dry. Soak the cuttings in fresh water after disinfecting. No man in his right senses would deliberately send to Sonoma county, procure a handful of soil from around the roots of a vine which had been killed by phylloxera or some other insect, and deposit the same in his vineyard and tend it so that the insects would increase and multiply. Such a proceeding would be no more insane than that of a man who procures vine cuttings from the northern part of the State (and nearly every northern county is more or less infected), plants them carefully, expends much labor and money in cultivating them and who finds when the vines reach maturity that an early death awaits them, because the same care and cultivation which has developed the vine has also correspondingly developed the destroying insects which he had imported with his cuttings years before. For it is a well-known fact that before bi-sulphide of carbon came into use as a remedy for phylloxera, the only manner of staying the ravages of that insect was to cease cultivating the vineyards afflicted with its presence. The more the vineyards were cultivated—the more nourishing fertilizers applied to the vines—the stronger and more active became the parasitic enemy. Disinfect your cuttings.

It requires no great amount of discernment to see that the legality of the acts of the present county officials will be called into question at no distant day, and we would not be surprised if the Courts would some day rule that all the acts of the present county officials, committed after the 1st of January, 1881, were null and void. We have not yet begun to realize the confusion which will result from the ambiguity of the Constitution. So numerous are the bills which have been introduced into both branches of the Legislature, relative to irrigation and cognate subjects, that it is reasonable to expect that some advance will be made towards settling some of the disturbing questions constantly arising in connection with irrigation and water supply. During the week a bill has been introduced in the Assembly by Mr. Bost "to promote irrigation and to regulate the distribution of water used therefor." The bill creates a Board of Irrigation Commissioners to divide the State and to levy taxes to promote irrigation. Mr. Del Valle has introduced an amendment to the Civil Code relative to corporations supplying water for irrigation. MESSRS: West, Del Valle and Crank have influence enough to pass the county division bill if they give it their attention. If they push this matter to a successful issue, we pledge our people to remember them in the future, and do what they can to show their gratitude. aware that the United States imported during the eleven months ending November 30th, 1880, 12 1-2 million pounds at a cost of over two million dollars.

Acre nothing one can grow whi CORRECTION WESTMINSTER. After an absence of over two years, we could hardly fail to notice many changes here. We arrived Saturday evening, and although it had been raining quite steadily for some hours the roads were not at all bad. This was a great surprise to us, as we still retained vivid recollections of terrific roads, dotted here and there with "bog holes," causing traveling about Westminster in the winter to be anything but a source of pleasure. Now, thanks to the efficient work of Roadmaster Edwards, this is all changed; the roads are quite firm, and compare well with those of any district in the county. Since we left here the Presbyterian and Congregational churches have been completed, and as the day following our arrival was the Sabbath, we supposed that with three churches "everyone and all the children" would be out, as was customary in the early days of the settlement, when there was only one church. But when we went to the Presbyterian church we found there would be no service; the same state of affairs existed at the Methodist, while at the Congregational, in the absence of the pastor, G. C. Mack read a sermon. Remembering the certainty with which we always relied on services every Sabbath, rain or shine, in the good old days (or rather, young days) of the settlement, when there was but one church, and contrasting that with the state of affairs we found, almost led us to feel we were not in Westminster. The churches we have mentioned, as having been completed since our change of residence, are both of them very attractive structures. Externally, there are some points wherein the Congregational seems to us a little ahead of the Presbyterian; but when one compares the interior of the two buildings, the odds are altogether the other way. We do not call to mind having at any time seen a church, city or country, where so complete and comfortable arrangements can be found for the various departments of the be compared to fruit growing on the point of profit. The work is the nicest of any on the farm, the expense the lightest and the returns the largest by all odds. And with Arizona and New Mexico markets opening up, the field to supply is large, and the natural point of supply is your own county. Set out more orchards. We missed many familiar faces—persons who have moved away—and feel that some of those who have left made the grandest mistake of their lives in leaving. We traveled through the San Joaquin valley—have visited many parts of the State—but no where have we seen the country looking so promising as in Los Angeles Co., and in no part of the country have we seen a section offering so fine an opening to men of limited means as at Westminster. Places formerly occupied by parties who have moved away are being offered at low prices. Nearly all of them have flowing wells, a small orchard and other improvements. And any man who will take one of them, thoroughly cultivate the soil, use water sparingly and the cultivator freely; make his operations depend on the various character of the soil instead of making the soil yield according to his set notions; accept the experience of others and not take the ground that you are all wrong and I am right; confine himself rigidly to the business of farming and not try to speculate in a dozen outside matters; buy only so much land as he can till without the expense of hiring help, will—must succeed here. We had purposed giving some items gleaned at other places, but will hold them for a future letter. SAN BERNARDINO, February 5. —Some time since a Mrs. Barnum instituted proceedings for a divorce against her husband, Samuel Barnum, on the ground of desertion, he having been absent in Bodie for a number of years. Barnum returned to this place while the Court was still occupied with the case, and had it postponed. Meanwhile Mrs. Barnum has been living with Archibald Martin, a young man residing in the Cajon Pass, and it is reported that she is about to become a mother. Goaded to desperation by the conduct of his wife and the loss of a valuable piece of property during his absence, Barnum went up to the Cajon Pass yesterday, bent on redressing his wrongs. Martin's story is that Barnum leveled a rule at him, which failed to explode. Martin then drew a pistol and shot Barnum in the intestines inflicting a wound which he can hardly survive. Martin then came to San Bernardino, and gave himself up to the Sheriff. The Chronicle announces the incorporation of a company to establish a new line of steamers to ply between San Francisco and Los Angeles, touching at all intermediate The churches we have mentioned, as having been completed since our change of residence, are both of them very attractive structures. Externally, there are some points wherein the Congregational seems to us a little ahead of the Presbyterian; but when one compares the interior of the two buildings, the odds are altogether the other way. We do not call to mind having at any time seen a church, city or country, where so complete and comfortable arrangements can be found for the various departments of the work to be done, for the same price, as in the Westminster Presbyterian church; and that society have good grounds for feeling a pride in their church home. The stores here seemed to have their share of trade from the surrounding country, and the different shops appeared to have all the work they could do. Alkali still proves an annoyance, and various plans have been tried for bettering the lands. Gypsum has been applied, and while some obtained from the neighboring hills resulted in a most satisfactory way two years ago, some which was imported from San Francisco and applied to the same lands on which our mountain rock was used, and on other lands, seemed to have no effect. The probable cause of this was that the gypsum was not a pure article. No one who witnessed the effect produced by the Los Angeles county rock can feel any doubt as to the benefit derived. But as there is no mill for crushing it, the task of preparing for use is very great. Still, a mill could easily be secured if it was certain the farmers would use it. Throwing the land up in ridges, with dead furrows into which the rains can drain and seep and flow off, has been beneficial. We are far more confident to-day than when we were your regular correspondent, that if this and the system of drainage we so often urged in our letters were generally introduced here, the result would be most striking, and much of the land now termed "of no account" would become very productive. We noticed with pleasure that although an annoyance, the alkali is not such an evil as two years ago. The surface water has receded, and where it formerly stood very near to if not on the surface at this time of the year, it is now necessary to dig two feet or more; and on the higher points we saw holes three feet deep with no water. This is a great change and will of itself go a great ways toward removing this great drawback to farming on these lands. Another thing which pleased us was to find some of the people here experimenting to find just what will grow on the different degrees of alkali soil. A few years ago most farmers gave up their land as unproductive when they could not raise a fair crop with little or no trouble, but now they are learning what will grow on these lands. The process is slow, but it is also sure, and it looks as though all land owners who will can become so intimately acquainted with every acre of their land as to find out just what it will do; and we be In and For the TOWN OF ANAHEIM, County of Los Angeles, State of California.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF LA NGLES, TOWN OF ANAHEIM. Public notice is hereby given that default having been made in the payment of taxes due to the Town of Anaheim for the fiscal year 1880-81, upon the property hereinbefore described. I, R. M. BARHAM, as Tax Collector in and for the said Town of Anaheim, by virtue of the power and authority in me vested by law, unless the taxes delinquent together with the costs and percentages, are paid, will on MONDAY, THE 28th DAY OF FEBRUARY, A.D. 1881, At the hour of 10 o'clock in the forenoon of that day, commence to sell the real estate upon which such taxes are a lien, at public auction for and on account of such delinquent taxes thereon, in front of the Town Hall in the Town of Anaheim, County of Los Angeles, State of California, and that I will continue such sale from day to day (Sundays and legal holidays excepted), according to the adjournments, and between the hours of 10 o'clock, A.M. and 3 o'clock P.M. of each day of sale, and at the same place, until the whole property hereinbefore set forth, or so much thereof as may be necessary, shall be sold; and that I will sell the smallest quantity of each piece or parcel of property liable for such taxes that will be taken by any person for the amount, in legal coin of the United States, of the taxes and costs remaining due and unpaid thereon, together with the sum of (50) fifty cents, provided by law for the certificate of sale in duplicate in each and every case. CONDITIONS. The real property will be sold subject to real estate within twelve months from the ways toward removing this great drawback to farming on these lands. Another thing which pleased us was to find some of the people here experimenting to find just what will grow on the different degrees of alkali soil. A few years ago most farmers gave up their land as unproductive when they could not raise a fair crop with little or no trouble, but now they are learning what will grow on these lands. The process is slow, but it is also sure, and it looks as though all land owners who will can become so intimately acquainted with every acre of their land as to find out just what it will do; and we believe that those who are making efforts this way will so entirely succeed as to find profit from every acre. The fruit trees of course show great growth, and we must say, in justice to Westminster, that though in our position here we buy, sell, and sample fruits from all parts of the coast, we have yet to see larger, more attractive and better flavored apples than we saw and ate there. And the verdict of the Los Angeles fruit dealers was the same as ours, only they went further, and included apricots, peaches and pears, which of course are now out of season. Prunes do well here and a great many trees are being planted. This fruit is one of the main reliances of the San Jose section, where it bears very heavily and where drying and preparing the fruit for market has been so perfected that their product compares most favorably with the best imported. If Westminster growers can do anywhere nearly as well, a bright future is before them, for the demand can almost be said to have no limit. We have shipped car lots of them to Denver, Chicago and other cities, and in all cases they have given entire satisfaction. It seems to us the people here are making a grand mistake in not planting more fruit trees, which are being offered at fabulously low prices for really choice desirable stock. If the object is to sell the land, nothing will tempt purchasers like an orchard either bearing or coming into bearing. A man hesitates to buy where he must wait for any result. But if he can see that an income will reasonably result the first year, and increase rapidly year after year, he is led to regard purchasing at a fair price as a good investment. And if the question is not to sell, but to reap profit to themselves, the point is tenfold more important.
