WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...SEPTEMBER 17, 1881 EMERGING FROM A CLOUD. A few years ago, Anaheim and the country tributary to it was receiving accessions to its population every day. Land was in demand and every business was prosperous. Every house in town was occupied, the two hotels were filled from cellar to garret and, in the language of the day, "Everything was lovely." But this prosperity received a check. The immigration stopped or went elsewhere, enterprises were abandoned and, in short, Anaheim went through the same experience that every thriving, ambitious town in America has had to undergo. First, a boom; then a reaction and depression; and then a slow, substantial and solid recovery. Anaheim has passed through the first two stages and is now entering upon the third. It is because it has fully entered upon the up grade that we can afford to speak of the fact of the depression which has existed, and to acknowledge that it has not fully kept pace with other communities in the rapid progressive march which has characterized the past few years. The man who passes through a financial storm and at last weathers all difficulties can afford to laugh and speak lightly of his trials as he takes a retrospective glance from the safe haven which he has reached; and so we of Anaheim, who take a pride in the place and are realists of its advancement in use in the highest circles of society. We can now understand why it was that Professor Reid, the new President of the State University, told a student whom he accused of a knowledge of the perpetrator of some breach of college discipline, that he "didn't want to give him away." Slang may be more inelegant than commonplace phrases, but it is vastly more energetic and emphatic. The last season at the Alvarado Beet Sugar Refinery was successful, and the coming season is expected to be better. The Superintendent says: If California capitalists would invest the same amount of money in the production of beet-root sugar on this Coast that they have invested in sugar plantations in the Sandwich Islands, and the refineries for converting the produce into white sugar, a sufficient amount of refined beet-sugar could be produced to supply the demand of this Coast at a price not exceeding the cost of raw sugars imported from Manila, Central America, and other sources. But the business has been so unsuccessful in the United States that it will be years before this will be accomplished, but he time is sure to arrive sooner or later. The President appears to be benefited by the change to Long Branch. He is stronger and in better spirits. The physicians do not view the trouble with his lung with apprehension, and say that the ball is so encased that it will cause no further trouble for a long time.

The man who passes through a financial storm and at last weathers all difficulties can afford to laugh and speak lightly of his trials as he takes a retrospective glance from the safe haven which he has reached; and so we of Anaheim, who take a pride in the place and are zealous of its advancement, can, now that we see smooth sailing ahead of us, speak lightly of the dark days now left behind forever. The check to the growth of this section arose principally—it may be said, wholly—from the uncertainty of the supply of water for irrigation. Water, the life blood of the country, was not to be had at the very time when it was most needed. That in brief was the reason why lands became unsalable, business stagnant and all enterprises stayed. For irrigating water must be had in Southern California in order that the country may be prosperous. All fine-spun theories in regard to raising fruit without irrigation are demolished when brought into contact with hard facts and experience—except in the case of a few localities. With water, paradise; without it, desolation. This great and overshadowing cloud is being dissipated by the work now being done by the corporation which is responsible for the water supply. They have now in the field an engineer and force of men making a survey for a ditch which will leave the river at a point where repeated measurements, made at all seasons of the year, show the greatest body of water. The ditch will traverse hard ground in the main, and have a fall which will reduce the loss by evaporation to the minimum. It will be the very best ditch which engineering skill and the liberal use of money can construct and will be completed before the close of the present year. It has happened more than once that there has been almost a water famine here at the very time when water was running to waste in the river, ten miles away. Such a state of affairs can never again occur. There are other facts in this con- The President appears to be benefited by the change to Long Branch. He is stronger and in better spirits.

WASHINGTON, September 11.—Sergeant Mason of Battery B, Second Artillery, when relieving the guard at the jail here this afternoon shot at Guiteau through the window of his cell and came near killing him. The ball just missed his head, and was imbedded in the cell wall. Mason was promptly arrested, taken to the arsenal and incarcerated. He had been ill for some time, and it is thought the strong medicine he took had some effect on his mind. He has been nineteen years in the service and has a first-class record. It was learned that the first notice of the shot was the cries of Guiteau, and when the news of the shot got inside a rush was made for the cell door of the assassin. At first it was supposed that Guiteau had been struck, as he was crouched down in one corner of the cell, uttering loud prayers for protection and literally writhing about the floor in an agony of fear. After it was definitely ascertained that he was not wounded, an effort was made to calm the wretch, but it was fruits. He refused to stand erect, or even to lie on his cot, and remained huddled upon the corner of the prison farthest removed from the railing of the window. It will be remembered that all along Guiteau has had great uneasiness in regard to the position of his cell window, and has repeatedly begged that something be done to protect him from shots from the outside, claiming that it would be a very easy matter for any one to fire at him when he appeared at his window. The result proved how well founded were his fears. The shot of Sergeant Mason would doubtless have been fatal but for the fact that to reach the window of Guiteau's cell he was obliged to aim so that his shot passed through the outer window, the saashes of which were closed on account of the weather, and the surface of the glass was covered with the moisture of the rain. NEW YORK, Sept. 12th.—The Herald's Washington special says that Mason said in an interview: "When the attempted assassination was made by the scoundrel, I first heard of it in Texas on the train, where there were a number of soldiers, and I secretly resolved, if I was put in the position or had the opportunity, to kill the assassin. Sunday morning I loaded my musket, knowing that I was going on duty, with the intention of shooting him the first chance he time is sure to arrive sooner or later.

It has happened more than once that there has been almost a water famine here at the very time when water was running to waste in the river, ten miles away. Such a state of affairs can never again occur. There are other facts in this connection which will be presented in due time. But there is not a man in this community who has studied the matter who does not believe that the work now in progress will give us an abundance of water—enough to irrigate five times the amount of land now irrigated. When this fact is demonstrated, the old prosperous condition of things will be restored. The heavens do not cover a finer body of land than there is in Anaheim township and adjoining, and in the very nature of things these lands must yield support to hundreds of families. If Mr. Thomas Magee was not endorsed by the press of San Francisco as an exemplary Christian and church elder, we should hold to the belief that he was a particularly good hand at a game of poker. In the report of a trial for heresy, now being held in a San Francisco church, Mr. Magee testified in regard to another elder, that he "had him in the door"—an expression which we have always thought was used only by the bad and wicked men who play at monte, faro and such sinful games. But as every one of the ecclesiastical Court understood Deacon Magee's remark, without having it explained to them, we infer that the use of such slang is legitimate and proper, and is New York, Sept. 12th. — The Herald's Washington special says that Mason said in an interview: "When the attempted assassination was made by the scoundrel, I first heard of it in Texas on the train, where there were a number of soldiers, and I secretly resolved, if I was put in the position or had the opportunity, to kill the assassin. Sunday morning I loaded my musket, knowing that I was going on duty, with the intention of shooting him the first chance I got when I arrived at the jail. I walked at once where I could get the range of his window and fired. I am perfectly sane, and if I had killed him I would be willing to remain in prison the remainder of my life. If restored to duty, I will shoot him as soon as I get a chance." A Scarcity of Raisins. It is now ascertained beyond a possibility of doubt that the Malaga raisin crop this year will be a nearly total failure, and that the United States will be forced to depend almost exclusively upon California for its supply of this important luxury. Having obtained early information of this fact, an extensive Chicago commission house, in conjunction with one of the leading canning establishments on this coast, entered the field and purchased the entire raisin crop of the State, or more properly speaking, of those fruit-raisers who make the culture of the raisin a specialty. Of course they will make an immense sum of money on their venture, as high prices are certain to rule. Apart from the interest that the simple narration of this fact must possess for vineyard men, it may also contain a profitable suggestion. There are no doubt large quantities of excellent grapes which may be converted into raisins instead of making wine of them. The short supply will cause a demand that will not hesitate at accepting qualities that would not be salable in ordinary years. The prospect of a brisk market makes it certain that every box of raisins that California can produce this year will be eagerly bought up. It is a chance that our vineyardists should not neglect. — S. F. Chronicle. W. G. Goodman fell from a scaffold while painting the Herton House at San Diego, and received such injuries that he died a few days after the accident. THE HORTICULTURAL FAIR The report of the Gazette's special correspondent at the Fair came promptly to hand twenty-four hours too late for insertion in last week's edition, although it was mailed in Los Angeles in time to have reached us on Thursday night of last week. The description of the Centennial celebration and exercises at the Pavilion are omitted. Writing of the exhibits, our correspondent says: The arrangements for the exhibits are very good. In the center of the Pavilion is a circular reservoir fed by a pretty fountain, the reservoir holding a fine assortment of carp, and surrounded with a showy array of semitropical plants and flowers. Four rows of tables through the center of the room are devoted to the display of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Under the galleries the space is divided into squares for the use of merchants and dealers, and the galleries themselves are divided in much the same way. At the head of the stairs and over the vestibule and officers' apartments are two rows devoted to the "Ladies' Department," while the walls of the rooms and galleries are for the hanging of pictures and paintings. The exhibits are so numerous that an extended description of them would be impracticable; but the general verdict of visitors is that it is one of the best exhibits ever made in this county. The products of each locality are arranged on separate tables, superintended by a manager chosen by the Society. It is difficult to decide which table makes the best exhibit, as all are excellent. ANAHEIM DEPARTMENT, Superintendent, S. B. Smith, makes an excellent display with the following list of exhibitors and their exhibits: Mrs. G. G. Greeley—2 hearth rugs. F. J. J. Schmidt—5 oil paintings. L. Parker—17 plates oranges, 3 varieties crab apples. S. B. Smith—California Windmill. Santiago Gold & Silver Mining Company—Ore and bullion. J. P. Zeyn—4 kinds of wine, 1 of brandy. B. Dreyfus & Co.—5 kinds of wine. S. L. Chilson—3 varieties peaches. G. R. Hinde—6 varieties grapes, 1 variety Peruvian papaya, 5 varieties figs, 1 of Ja- sive to be enumerated, as was also the list of paintings. But among all these latter none elicited so much admiration as those of Mr. P. J. J. Schmidt of Anaheim. They received more genuine praise than all the other paintings on exhibition, and he was awarded every premium the judges could give him. His list of paintings were: Stag, a copy from Landseer; California Quail, original; English Ballinch, original; English Painter with Woodcock, original; English Setter with Rabbit; and a Hungarian Harvesting Scene. With the exception of the immense crowd and jam Monday night, not a thing occurred to mar the pleasure of visitors. There were no signs of drankenness to be seen, and no "bloodluna" or rowdies made their appearance. Upon Mr. Geo. Rice, the Secretary of the Society, devolved almost the exclusive leadership of the whole Exposition; and so ably did he discharge his duties that at its close a testimonial from the assistant officers and the directors, accompanied with a valuable silver set, was presented to him as a token of their appreciation of his ability and faithfulness. On Friday afternoon came the baby show, and a genuine show of babies it proved to be. Four prizes were offered, and for these twenty-nine cherubs were put on exhibition; while twenty nine mothers sat there, each fully convinced that her baby was the 'best and sweetest of all'. A large crowd was in attendance to see the show. The prizes were for the best baby, and consequently the one who ensured the most patiently the noise and staring of the crowd and the lifting and tossing and pulling of the three judges and other interested ones was declared the winner. A Mrs. Robertson's seven months old boy won the first prize, a handsome baby carriage; Mrs. M. Bixby's seven months old girl a special second prize of a handsome baby blanket; Mrs. Lamp's five months old boy the second prize, a child's silver set; Mrs. R. P. Ingram's five months old boy the third prize of a silver cup; while Mrs. John Pray showed her unfitness to be a mother by exhibiting a tiny boy just three weeks old, giving the helpless little fellow a good chance to have weak eyes the rest of his days, but thereby winning a pair of baby's shoes. The Judges commenced their work on Wednesday afternoon and did not finish till Saturday morning. As far as can be learned at this writing, the Anaheim department received more awards than any other department outside of Los Angeles. There was a large display of California wines and brands, conspicuous among them being those of Messra. B. Dreyfus & Co., and J. P. Zeyn, of Anaheim. Some of Mr. Zeyn's was highly commended by the judging committee, but they could award him no premiums, as the THE R. R. CO.'S COAL MINE. CARBONDALE, Sept. 12th, 1861. Editor Gazette.-Last Friday evening at six o'clock the first steam whistle of the Santa Ana Coal Mine, at this place, Carbondale, was heard. Clearing its throat it poured forth a resounding voice hitherto unknown to these mountains, its echoes being at once pleasing and thrilling. It was the signal that not only complete water supply had been secured for the mine, and that the water tank, boiler and fixtures and hoisting engine were at last safely moored in their respective places, but also a declaration that these appliances were ready for work and would henceforth help to toiling hands of the miners in the process of extracting the coal. The expense attending the creation of the water supply, constructing tank, obtaining and fitting up boiler and engine, with other appliances necessary thereto, ranges in the neighborhood of ten thousand dollars, I am informed. The water was collected from the springs located on what is hereabouts known as McKelvey's Hill, over a mile from the main works—nearly six thousand feet—and from thence conveyed through iron pipes to the mine where it empties into a large tank, placed at the surface, almost above the underground engine room, at the rate of three thousand four hundred (3,400) gallons every twenty-four hours. From the tank an iron pipe conveys the water about ten yards to the boiler, forty-two inches in diameter and sixteen feet in length. Over the boiler works is constructed a substantial building. The steam housing machine, twenty horse power, located underground at the head of the incline, is supplied with steam from the boiler at the surface by a pipe leading down a well timbered shaft fifty feet in depth. The entire work referred to has been admirably finished and pointedly shows not only that the railroad company have secured in the person of Mr. Thomas Harris, who has charge of the works, the right man for the right place, but also the determination of the company to spare no expense in the prosecution of the work of opening the bed of coal existing here. Certainly the coal prospect of this mine, as far as present developments show, is entitled to be pronounced first class. I think it safe to say that no The Santa Ana exhibition, with W. K. Robinson as Superintendent, makes a very creditable showing. The principal exhibitors are: R. J. Blee, 12 varieties grapes; A. T. Bates, 4 of apples, 3 of pears; W. H. Hall, 3 of apples; J. F. Berry, 5 of grape. Mrs. G. G. Greeley—2 hearth rugs. F. J. J. Schmidt—5 oil paintings. L. Parker—17 plates oranges, 3 varieties crab apples. S. B. Smith—California Windmill. Santiago Gold & Silver Mining Company—Ore and bullion. J. P. Zeyn—4 kinds of wine, 1 of brandy. B. Dreyfus & Co.—5 kinds of wine. S. L. Chilson—3 varieties peaches. G. R. Hine—6 varieties grapes, 1 variety Peruvian papaya, 5 varieties of figs, 1 of Japanese persimmon, 1 of oranges, 1 of New Zealand Cape gooseberry, 1 of citron, 1 of strawberry, 1 of olives, 2 of tomatoes, 2 of quinces, 2 of field corn, 2 of sweet corn, 6 of apples, 4 of pears, 4 of muskmelons, 2 of watermelons, 12 of peaches, 1 of peas, 1 of peanuts. Wm. M. McFadden—2 varieties of pears, 3 of peaches. J. C. Hill & Sons—10 pumpkins, weight 1,600 lbs., 10 stalks Hill's Prolific corn, 65 ears, 1 bundle Amber cane. GARDEN GROVE. J. Nelson—2 varieties grapes, 1 variety of plums, 3 of apples. J. D. Chaffee—1 variety of grapes, 3 of apples, 1 of pears. J. E. Deming—8 varieties of apples, 1 of peaches, 2 of pears. E. G. Ware—1 variety of peaches. These exhibits are, in quality, second to none on exhibition, though some towns make a more extensive display in quantity. A little more ambition on the part of fruit and wine growers would have made the Anaheim exhibit far ahead of any other. Even as it is, it receives many comments of praise. Mr. Hinde's exhibit is one of the most extensive of any one individual, and is much admired. L. Parker's seedling oranges have no superiors; neither have the apples from Messrs. Nelson, Chaffee and Deming of Garden Grove, as well as the peaches from Mr. Nilson of Orangethorpe. But no product of the soil on exhibition attracts as much attention as the ten mammoth pumpkins grown by J. C. Hill & Sons of Centralia. They vary in weight from 140 lbs. to 177 lbs., making a total weight of 1,600 lbs., and hardly a visitor passes them without comment. Nearly the same can be said of the same parties' exhibit of corn—ten stalks with their sixty-five full-grown ears. Mrs. Greeley makes the only Anaheim display of fancy work—two pretty foot rugs—and Mr. F. J. J. Schmidt's oil paintings are much admired. The wines and brandies of Messrs. B. Dreyfus & Co. and J. P. Zeyn make a showy display, and will doubtless bear comparison with their competitors when their qualities are tested. The Santa Ana exhibition, with W. K. Robinson as Superintendent, makes a very creditable showing. The principal exhibitors are: R. J. Blee, 12 varieties grapes; A. T. Bates, 4 of apples, 3 of pears; W.H. Hal-sell, 3 of apples; J.F.Berry, Hollyhill Bros., 5 of grape. Mrs. John Pray showed her unfitness to be a mother by exhibiting a tiny boy just three weeks old, giving the helpless little fellow a good chance to have weak eyes the rest of his days, but thereby winning a pair of baby's shoes. The Judges commenced their work on Wednesday afternoon and did not finish till Saturday morning. As far as can be learned at this writing, the Anaheim department received more awards than any other department outside of Los Angeles. There was a large display of California wines and brands, conspicuous among them being those of Messrs. B.Dreyfus & Co., and J.P.Zeyn, of Anaheim. Some of Mr.Zeyn's was highly commended by the judging committee, but they could award him no premiums, as the rules of the Society require twelve bottles of each brand to be exhibited, a requirement Mr.Zeyn was not aware of. The list of awards in the Anaheim department is as follows: Best exhibit of fruit by one man—Geo.R.Hinde,$10. Best 12 varieties peaches by one man—G.R.Hinde,$10. Best one variety table grapes—G.R.Hinde,$3. Best green flesh muskmelos—G.R.Hinde,$1. Best three watermelons other than Mountain Sweet—G.R.Hinde,$1. Best one peck peanuts—G.R.Hinde,$2.

Tustin had a very fine exhibit but from Westminster the exhibit was very small, though Rev. Robt.' Strong showed 9 varieties of pears, 25 of apples, 4 of peaches, 1 of erab apple and one of Japanese persimmon. From many other portions of the county and also outside of it there were many excellent exhibits. The display of fancy work was too extensive. Best half bushel sweet potatoes—A. Lawton, Semi-Tropic one year. Best comb honey—A. S. Hamilton, $5. Best citrus trees—Beach Bros., silver medal. Best lemon tree on other than lemon stock—Chas. Beach, bronze medal. Best seedling orange trees—Chas. Beach, bronze medal. Best orange tree on orange stock—C. Beach, bronze medal. Best orange tree on other than orange stock—Wright Bros., bronze medal. WESTMINSTER AWARDS. Best three varieties apples by one man—Rev. Robt., Strong, $2. Best butter in rolls—L. A. Carey & Son, by the "Grange Store." As is usual on such occasions, considerable fault was found with the Judging Committees. In many cases articles of great merit had to be entirely overlooked by the committees, as the exhibitors had failed to comply with the rules of entry, and yet almost invariably the committees were roundly blamed for so doing. But the predominant feeling among the exhibitors was that the committees discharged their duties carefully and honestly and without partiality. In many instances there were several exhibits of almost equal merit in a department where but one prize was offered by the Society,and of course it was a difficult matter for the judges to decide who should have the award. On the whole,the Fair was a grand success. There were many visitors there who have come this summer from the Middle States to seek a home in this warmer climate,and who were loud in their astenishment and praise at seeing the variety and extent of our productions.The success which the Anabeim department achieved should encourage her to make a still better exhibit another year,and let it be known that she stands second to no town in Southern California in holding out advantages to all new comers. There is an awful state of affairs in a little Michigan town,where a type-setter substituted the word "widows" for "windows." The editor wrote: "The windows of the church need washing badly They are too dirty for any use,and are a disgrace to our village." By an untimely explosion of a blast in Temecula canyon.on Saturday evening last,a young man by the name of John Bradford had a hand blown off and his eyes so badly injured that his physicians despair of saving them.His arm was amputated by San Diego doctors. Two agents,一人 from Texas和the other from New Mexico railroad companies,haven been in China contracting for laborers on those roads,and the steamer Oceanicwhich is due at San Francisco in ten days will have one thousand coolier for them.The coolier will receive $125 per day and transportation to the scene of their work. ARE BEES DESTRUCTIVE TO FRUIT? Ed.Gazette.-This question，to which very many fruit growers give a decided affirmativebut which the writer has from observation denied，has been satisfactorily settled by an exhibition at the Los Angeles Fair last week.In the gallery，at one end，was a wire netted cage some three or four feet squareand six feet high，in which was a large bee hive with top removed，showing an extra large swarm of busy workers.Against the wall were hung numerous clusters of ripe Muscat and purple grapes.On one side a bunch o fully ripe peaches，uncut.On the opposite side,a number of the same kind，peeled.Now，while the latter were so covered with bees that the fruit could hardly be seen,the others，with all the grapes，were untouchednot a bee settling on one of them.My apricots and peaches were eaten by bees,and my grapes are being eaten also，但 neither of them till after the birds—the mischievous little linnet being the worst—had taken the first bite.BY destroying the latter，我们in great measure，rid ourselves of the eviland thus each help his Neighbour.
