WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...JULY 30, 1881 Several States are crying loudly for a Railroad Commission. We have no doubt but that the taxpayers of California would sell their Railroad Commissioners to any State that wants them for about twenty-five cents on the dollar. The past week has been one of anxiety regarding the President. The stoppage of the flow of pus from the wound caused a relapse and necessitated a surgical operation on last Sunday. This relieved the patient for a time, but he had to undergo a second operation on Tuesday, since which time his condition has steadily improved. The hopeful anticipations of recovery lately indulged in have been dissipated, and there is no use of disguising the fact that the President is in a precarious condition. He has not only the bullet wounds to contend against, but a vitiated atmosphere as well. Half a score of the White House employees are down with malarial fever. The Los Angeles "Herald" says: "We learn that the Southern Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railways have agreed upon a tariff, which will probably be announced some time this week, which gives our shippers advantages which they have not heretofore possessed. Hereafter wines and brandies will reach New York and other Eastern cities from Los Angeles at the same cost as if they were shipped from San Francisco." A CHANCE FOR ANOTHER INVESTIGATION. A very searching investigation into State Prison affairs has been going on for some weeks. The investigation was brought about by the publication in the San Jose "Mercury" of charges of corruption and mismanagement, and the charges were made with a directness which compelled the Governor to take cognizance of them and appoint a commission to ascertain their truth or falsity. The testimony so far adduced fails to substantiate the charge of corruption, but enough has been shown to establish the fact that the Warden of the Prison has no special fitness for his responsible position, that he knows nothing of the science of penology and that no important reforms in the treatment of criminals may ever be expected to emanate from him. Are there not other State Institutions which require investigation? Why should the Executive wait until some newspaper ferrets out wrongful acts before he institutes an inquiry? Why would it not be the proper thing to appoint a commission, quietly and at unexpected times, to investigate the affairs of the various institutions which are under State control or which receive State aid? There are in Stockton, besides the State Insane Asylum, one or more private asylums for the treatment of demented persons. One of these institutions is known as the Nevada Insane Asylum, and in it are confined insane persons sent from Nevada and Arizona Territory. Has the State any control over this institution? If it has, the Governor should appoint a commission to inquire how it is that one of the inmates can die, be buried, and his body almost turned to dust. A PLEA FOR EDITOR GAZETTE.—No ever made than that of issue of the Gazette that benefits to be derived from the Santa Ana river would, in my opinion, lasting solution of our woes. As to the cement pipers and self are putting tiago creek being an effect that kind of pipe has low experimental stage. With the laying of this pipe we its history.

Hereafter wines and brandies will reach New York and other Eastern cities from Los Angeles at the same cost as if they were shipped from San Francisco to those points. This practically amounts to the remission of that portion of the freight charges which would have been assessed, under the old tariff, for the distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco." The census returns of Ireland show what bad rule and emigration combined are doing for Ireland with a plainness that is not to be mistaken. It has to-day less than the population it had at the time of the Union at the beginning of the century, and less by three millions than it had in 1841, when the maximum of Irish population was reached. At that time the total was 8,174,000. In the next decade came the great famine, and by 1851 the population had decreased to 6,552,000, something not parallel in the history of any people where the same natural advantages exist as in Ireland. In 1861 the population had decreased to 5,789,000, in 1871 to 5,411,000, and in 1881 to 5,160,000. Since 1841 over three millions of Irish people have made their homes in the United States, while many thousands have gone to Canada, Australia and other parts of the British Empire. The Anti-Debris Association of the Sacramento Valley has issued an address to the people which sets forth very graphically the evils which spring from hydraulic mining. The follow-is the pertinent part of the address: We charge hydraulic mining with having injured the agricultural resources of the State, by the destruction of over 100,000 acres of the very best land; with having forced millions of money to be expended in the construction of immense levees to protect the highlands, that should have been expended in improvements and in otherwise rendering valuable these vast tracts, and thereby largely increasing the agricultural and horticultural products of the State. It has been destruction to the manufacturing interests, by endangering the property of our cities, increasing the tax State Insane Asylum, one or more private asylums for the treatment of demented persons. One of these institutions is known as the Nevada Insane Asylum, and in it are confined insane persons sent from Nevada and Arizona Territory. Has the State any control over this institution? If it has, the Governor should appoint a commission to inquire how it is that one of the inmates can die, be buried, and his body almost turned to dust before his relatives learn of his death—and only learn of it then by accident? Such an occurrence happened but a short time ago, and names and dates are at the service of the proper authorities when they call for them. In an institution where such a thing can happen, there must be other forms of carelessness and negligence which should not be permitted. The Board of Supervisors of San Diego county have had an open letter addressed to them by A. B. Hotchkiss, in which he talks right out in meetin'. It appears that the Assessor has valued all property at about double what it was valued at last year, and the Supervisors have refused all applications for reductions; and it is intimated that notwithstanding the increased valuation, the tax levy will be as high as last year. This state of affairs causes Mr. Hotchkiss to protest through the columns of the "Sun" (the new paper, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged). He says: The solid fact is that the landed property of the county has not increased in actual cash value more than an average of five per cent over last year's valuation; that valuation and the one previous were full high. There are no buyers here now at any price, outside of our own folks. Our own people are swapping and buying of one another, and that is all the land trade that is done, and the Recorder's books show that to be very thin. We need not try to avoid these facts, for we all know it. It don't injure any of us to admit it. We know that solid and certain improvements are going on, and that actual values will be permanent and will probably enhance in some localities, but the immigration of buyers and cash speculators in real estate to this county has not yet amounted to anything.

It has been destruction to the manufacturing interests, by endangering the property of our cities, increasing the tax for city protection to such an extent as to prevent the investment of capital for manufacturing purposes, and in many cases destroying the lands adjacent to such towns and cities, that produced largely the raw material to be manufactured. It has interfered with the internal commerce of the State, by injuring the navigability of our rivers, thereby largely increasing the freight charges on all agricultural and manufactured products seeking a market, and all goods and merchandise used among our people. It has almost prevented the development of all mining, except that of the precious metals, by increasing the freight charges on all supplies for the mines, and on their products, and has also seriously injured legitimate mining for the precious metals, by diverting the energies of the miners from quartz and drift mining, the true sources from which our gold and silver products are profitably obtained. It has levied an annual tax of over half a million dollars on all the taxable property of the State, which has been and is to be expended in the fruitless effort to control the debris from such mines as to prevent further destruction to this valley. And last, but not least, it has thrown out of employment many thousands of white men (by substituting the forces, Chinamen, powder and water) who would have formed happy and flourishing communities, and contributed largely to the prosperity of the mountain counties. The struggle at Albany is over. On Thursday of last week the Joint Convention met and elected Elbridge G. Lapham U. S. Senator, in place of Roscoe Conkling, resigned. The ballot stood: Lapham 92, Potter 42; necessary to a choice 68. Warner Miller had previously been elected to succeed Platt. And this is Conkling's vindication! Tossed aside by the legislators who owed their election to his efforts and influence! As long as he was in power and controlled the patronage of the Custom House and other political pickings, he had an enthusiastic following. But the sequel proved that it was Conkling the office holder and dispenser of patronage, and not Conkling the Statesman who was admired. Instead of being a leader of men, it appears as if he was fawned upon merely for the pap he could dole out, and that his intellectual abilities were not of a high enough order to prevent his followers from deserting him when he voluntarily cast aside his power. The close season for quail does not expire until September 15th. This is unfortunate, as by that time the birds are tough. A PLEA FOR PIPE. EDITOR GAZETTE.—No truer remark was ever made than that of yours in a recent issue of the Gazette in reference to the benefits to be derived from piping the water from the Santa Ana river to Anaheim. It would, in my opinion, be a complete and lasting solution of our water problem. As to the cement pipe which my neighbors and self are putting down on the Santiago creek being an experiment, I think that kind of pipe has long since passed the experimental stage. We did not undertake the laying of this pipe without investigating its history. Our information is that there are many thousand feet of this cement pipe in use in this State, and that it has and does answer the purpose for which it was intended. Mr. George Hansen, City Surveyor of Los Angeles, assured me that it answered for sewer pipe, and that the pressure to which it was subjected at the time of "flushing the sewers" was a severer test than any to which ordinary irrigation pipe would ever be subjected. Col. W. H. Stephens, "Lucky" Baldwin, A. B. Chapman and others in this county are using the cement pipe for irrigation, and are, I believe, all well pleased therewith. The reasons which induced us to adopt the cement pipe for our use were that it had proven a success practically, and its comparative cheapness and durability, its cost being greatly less than iron and it being regarded by those with whom we conferred as more durable. One of our irrigators told me that there were less than 100 inches of water in the Anaheim ditch during the last run of water. As I understand the situation, there are 2½ or 3 miles of porous or sandy soil through which we have to bring our water to this town. Now, if a cement pipe of fourteen inches in diameter was laid through that sandy soil, with a fall of twelve feet to the mile and with a proper arrangement at the head of the pipe so as to secure the requisite pressure, we can deliver at the lower end of the pipe from 300 to 350 inches of water. I think it would be safe to say that we would not lose more than 100 inches from there to Anaheim, which would give us 250 inches of water here during the dry season. The putting down of this amount of pipe would cost somewhere from $9000 to $7000. STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE Bank of Anaheim, At the close of Business ON THURSDAY, JUNE 30th, 1881. ASSETS.

THE COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS TAKE pleasure in announcing to the public that they will spare nothing to make this picnic one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The Union Brass Band has been engaged for the procession and to furnish music for the dance in the Pavilion in the afternoon. At 10:30 A.M. the which we have to bring our water to this town. Now, if a cement pipe of fourteen inches in diameter was laid through that sandy soil, with a fall of twelve feet to the mile and with a proper arrangement at the head of the pipe so as to secure the requisite pressure, we can deliver at the lower end of the pipe from 300 to 350 inches of water. I think it would be safe to say that we would not lose more than 100 inches from there to Anaheim, which would give us 250 inches of water here during the dry season. The putting down of this amount of pipe would cost somewhere from $6000 to $7000, and if more water was needed for the future another pipe of the same dimensions could be laid by its side, or the first pipe could be extended in length. We are at present blessed with an efficient Board of Water Directors; they are gentlemen in whom I have the utmost confidence and for whom I entertain the highest respect, but I would seriously urge upon their consideration this matter of piping the water into Anaheim as a panacea for all our woes. While I do not feel qualified to make suggestions or offer advice to my friends who compose the Board of Directors, still I opine that they, as well as those they represent, will find it more profitable in the end to spend their money for this purpose than in buying rights of way and building ditches, or buying individual interests in ditches built by others, and in lawsuits, all of which are expensive if not luxurious. VICTOR MONTGOMERY. Bi-Sulphide of Carbon. EDITOR GAZETTE. — Please let it be known to all who are annoyed by squirrels, that the "bi-sulphide of carbon" is a good exterminator. Two weeks since I applied to thirty squirrel holes in my vineyard, and on examination a day or two since, found but one of the whole number had been re-opened, while its effect on gophers in my garden and orchard is such as to almost deprive my cats of the ordinary means of livelihood. My mode of application is a little different from the "directions," and I think, an improvement. Instead of pouring the liquid into the holes, I first provide myself with a sufficient number of wads or rolls of rags, about the size of a small hen's-egg, on which I put it, as these will roll farther in, and down, than the hand can reach, and be less likely to be covered with earth on closing. I also add a wad of weeds, or lump of earth to prevent this. E. S. SAXTON. GARDEN GROVE ITEMS. The project of building a cheese factory, mentioned by your correspondent from this place last week, has been very thoroughly discussed by the farmers and dairymen of this neighborhood, and they are almost a unit in believing that the time has come when such a factory is a necessity to this community. Every citizen of Garden Grove Tonto Basin, A. T., was shot and killed by his son Thomas last Tuesday. Mrs. Hook had been granted a divorce, and the trouble arose out of the distribution of some of the property. The family came from San Diego county. At 3 o'clock on last Saturday morning the Hot Springs Hotel, Calistoga, was destroyed by fire. The guests of the hotel were all sleeping in the cottages on the grounds and only two men were in the hotel at the time, and both narrowly escaped. Loss estimated at $2000, partly insured. John Koster, a resident of the upper valley, committed suicide at the residence of Mrs. Buguhl, near Calistoga, by shooting himself. He was married on Saturday, the 16th inst., to Mrs. Levia Stettee, residing near the same place, and was 50 years of age. The cause of the act was not learned. Blanco Flores, a Mexican, who murdered another Mexican at the Castle Dome mines, Yuma county, about a month ago, was killed by the Sheriff of Yuma county on Monday at Hall Hanlon's Ferry. The Sheriff and his deputy had effected the capture, but Flores broke away and jumped into the river under fire. One shot took effect, killing him instantly. R. M. Hoitty, a native of Canada, one of the most prominent sheep owners of Bakersfield, was examined before a Lunacy Commission and pronounced insane. He claims that he has been half man and half got for forty-seven years. On being asked if his parents were alive he said he supposed they were, as he had ordered them resurrected. He has a wife but no children. Last Sunday, at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, in Oakland, Rev. Father King gave notice to his parishioners that he would deny absolution to all the children of his parish who attended the public schools, instead of the Roman Catholic school, recently built upon the corner of Grove and Seventh streets. The announcement has caused a considerable stir among the Catholics of Oakland, all of whom are sending their children to the public schools. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. NOTICE.

Every citizen of Garden Grove and the surrounding country who owns a cow will be benefited when such a factory is in running order; and if all put their shoulders to the wheel and help the project along, the expense to each individual will be small as compared with the benefits which will accrue. I hope that the meeting to be held at Griswold's Grove on Saturday, the 30th instant, will be attended by the entire neighborhood, for the project of building and equipping a factory will then be thoroughly discussed. I hope that your correspondent will be able to send the Gazette an assurance next week that all the details have been decided upon and that the factory will be in operation in a short time. ORANGE ITEMS. Why can't our school building and grounds be fixed up in a better shape? Our hotel also might be improved both inside and out. Both of them have an influence over the home seeker. W. C. Travis returned from the railroad on last Sunday. He is satisfied with railroading. Big Parker bought him a new rifle last week to kill the big buck in the Laguna hills. He also wants to shoot a match against ten of the best members of the Orange Rifle Club. The last week or two of warm weather has started the orange trees on their second growth this year.

There are many ways of conducting a grocery store; but to be successful in these days of close competition and with an exacting and discriminating public, certain essential points are required which few possess. The great success of my AMERICAN CASH STORE, 48 & 50 Spring St., Los Angeles, Cal., Is due to the fact that it commands in an eminent degree every advantage necessary to make it the leading grocery store on the southern coast. The heavy business I am doing enables me to keep my stock always fresh and clean. I buy my goods only for CASH, from FIRST HANDS, And in a WHOLESALE WAY. I am enabled to do so by having my house in San Francisco to do my buying and to there dispose of any surplus stock over and above the requirements of the Los Angeles store. To further facilitate and insure the safe handling of wholesale quantities of merchandise, I have just opened ANOTHER STORE in STOCKTON, And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS, ANOTHER STORE in STOCKTON, And am now in position to buy largely enough to insure the lowest cost on every article bought. Those dealing with me will share these advantages, in being SERVED PROMPTLY —WITH— FIRST-CLASS GOODS, AND AT— LOWER PRICES! Than they can buy for elsewhere. It is of course quite in the range of possibilities that some one of our neighbors on whose toes I may happen to tread, will "get up his back" and try to sell at my prices; but as he can do so only at a loss to himself, whilst I am making a small profit, such "spurts" are of a short duration, and in fact at no time do they cover the whole ground, since such reductions are always confined to a few staples, merely to catch the eye. Since the prices of the AMERICAN CASH STORE have justly become THE STANDARD By which those of other concerns are measured, it is evident that it must be to the interest of the consumer to at once GO TO HEADQUARTERS, And not uselessly risk having to pay more for his goods than they are worth.
