WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...OCTOBER 29, 1881 Kleinigkeiten. The Board of Town Trustees will meet in regular session on Wednesday. An assessment of $10 per share has been levied by the Cajon Irrigation Company, payable on or before November 26th. At the next city election in Los Angeles the voters will be required to vote yes or no upon the question of issuing $50,000 in bonds with which to build a city hall. Receipt books, order books, note books etc., printed on heavy paper and bound in a substantial form, are kept in stock at the Gazette Job Office. Mr. Chas. S. Miles is in Los Angeles, suffering from an attack of typhoid fever. He is, however, getting along very well, the attack being light. The second annual Fair of the District Agricultural Association will commence in Los Angeles on next Monday and continue until Saturday evening. Mr. George J. Clarke, Notary Public, advertises that he has $60,000 to loan. We wish all the Notaries had as much money as Mr. Clarke. If they had, there would be a newspaper for sale. Those having property which they want to dispose of should arrange with Mr. John Hanna for its sale. There is an increasing inquiry for land, and Mr. Hanna is in a position to obtain customers. Mr. Decker, whose sickness we noted last week, arrived from Arizona on Monday, and he has been improving in health every A gentleman residing in Los Angeles has six acres of improved land near Anaheim, and in response to an inquiry as to the price of the place, he writes: "My place is not for sale for less than $1500. Although I would have taken a great deal less a few months ago, I am encouraged by the steps the Water Company has made, and am perfectly willing to hold on." This is a fair illustration of the feeling of our thinking people. They see that the tide has turned, and that from this time on progress will mark each succeeding week, month and year. And now, if a beneficient Providence would but lock the tongues of the thoughtless few who never ope their mouths but to give forth dismal croakings—who from sheer force of habit pour out gloomy forebodings into the ears of those who care to listen to them, there would be a more speedy consumption of the hopes of those who have faith in the future of this section. A few weeks ago a frugal, industrious young German and his wife came here from one of the upper counties with the full determination of locating here. He liked the people and the place, and was on the point of buying a few acres near town when in an evil moment some of the croakers of whom we have spoken made an indecent exposure of their mind and so intimidated him that in alarm he packed up his household goods and retraced his steps to Los Angeles, where he is now doubtless congratulating himself upon his good fortune in not investing his money here. This man was actually driven away from here. He was intimidated, not encouraged; he was told of men who tilled 160 acres of land and made but little or nothing, but nothing was said to him of the many who make a small fortune yearly out of twenty acres; he was told of farmers who came here years ago, spent all their money in buying large tracts of land, and who have been losing fabulous sums every year since, but the croakers were silent in regard to the achievements of the men who came to the then wilderness and carved out substantial fortunes from the small patches retrieved from the cactus and jack rabbit. People of Anaheim, you must quit this sort of thing. We don't like lying, but if less scrupulous people will persist in trifling with the truth when speaking of this coun- A gentleman writes that he wrote the spring if the spring of this place can do What is the proper How would the township have a proper proper has a proper the figures of those but the population tent since then.

There instances of settlers Those having property which they want to dispose of should arrange with Mr. John Hanna for its sale. There is an increasing inquiry for land, and Mr. Hanna is in a position to obtain customers. Mr. Decker, whose sickness we noted last week, arrived from Arizona on Monday, and he has been improving in health every day since. His illness was caused by overheating himself while teaming on the desert, and then resting and cooling under the grateful shade of an adjacent tree. The stage from Santa Ana to San Diego leaves the former place at 10:30 P.M. and arrives at 2:30 P.M. This is done, it is said, an order that the worst part of the road may be traveled in daylight during the winter months. It is not thought there will be any change in the running time of the trains. It gives us no pleasure to record the departure of Mr. E. M. Ferguson, who goes to Oakland next week. His determination to leave here is regretted by his friends, whose name is legion. Mr. Lake goes to the Mojave mines, where he has some promising claims. We wish them good fortune wherever they may go. Work on the ditch is progressing rapidly, a force of fifty men being kept steadily at work. This force will be augmented as soon as the character of the work will justify it. Engineer Miller yesterday completed the survey of the ditch from the reservoir to the connecting flume, a distance of a little over three miles, but has not yet had an opportunity of working up his notes. A very enjoyable social party was given at the Planters' Hotel on Saturday evening. Mr. Warren Dunham of Shasta county, brother of "mine host," Col. R. S. Baker and wife, and Miss Bandini participated in the party, and thus formed the acquaintance of our people in the most pleasant way. Mr. Dunham has returned to his home in Shasta. The rains have made the river "boom" and the water which comes through the ditches is murky with "slickens." Unlike the slimy stuff of that name which the hydraulic miners of the north send down into the valleys, our slickens are fertilizing, and instead of being synonymous with desolation it is enriching to the soil and adds new vigor to the orchards on which it is deposited. Messrs. D. E. and 'Chas. S. Miles have completed arrangements for the establishment of a commission business in Los Angeles. and the water which comes through the ditches is murky with "slickens." Unlike the slimy stuff of that name which the hydraulic miners of the north send down into the valleys, our slickens are fertilizing, and instead of being synonymous with desolation it is enriching to the soil and adds new vigor to the orchards on which it is deposited. Messrs. D. E. and 'Chas. S. Miles have completed arrangements for the establishment of a commission business in Los Angeles with a branch house in Tucson. The business will be carried on as usual in Anaheim by Mr. D. E. Miles, and the Los Angeles house will be under the supervision of his brother, as soon as he recovers from the illness he is now suffering under. With their experience and good business connections, there can be no doubt of the successful issue of their venture. Mr. S. M. Wren and Mr. F. C. Kay, two gentlemen who have been stopping at the Planters' Hotel for some time, honored us with a visit on Wednesday. The first-named gentleman is the one who, together with Messrs. Schmidt and Littlefield, will plant 170 acres of vineyard near town the coming season. Mr. Kay intends also to settle here, it is said. We are pleased to learn of their determination to remain here, and feel certain that they will always congratulate themselves on their lines having fallen in such a pleasant place. When Mr. Floyd of El Monte came to this State, his friends in their endeavors to dissuade him drew a picture of the difficulties in the way of procuring the necessaries of life in what they deemed a drought-stricken, barren country. He recalled this episode the other day when he saw a couple of carloads of hogs leaving El Monte for Texas. The county of which his old neighbors had such a poor opinion is sending its products to all parts of the Union—we might say to all parts of the world, for its preserved and dried fruits are exported to many foreign lands. The new steam pump for the Town Water Works arrived last week, and the work of placing it in position is now going on under the supervision of Mr. Eichler. The shaft to hold the pump is being sunk by Mr. Wille. Running at half its capacity, the pump will lift 50,000 gallons of water in ten hours. Anaheim is the most bountiful supplied down on the coast, in the matter of domestic water, and the water is unexcelled as to purity. The Marshal, in our advertising columna, calls the attention of water consumers to the necessity of practicing economy in the use of water, until the new pump is ready for work. The Union Brass Band went to Mr. Kraemer's ranch on Sunday afternoon, and serenaded that gentleman in token of their appreciation of his valuable gift to the Anaheim Water Company. The graceful compliment was appreciated by Mr. Kraemer, who was greatly pleased at this evidence of the feeling of our community towards him. Mr. Hippolyte Cahen begs to announce the receipt of a large assortment of Ladies' Sacques and Dalmans, Ulsters for ladies, misses and children, and an exceptionally fine lot of clothing for men and boys. The prices of these goods are very low. Grading on the site of the Branch Normal School will begin next week. A gentleman living in Emporia, Kansas, writes that he wants to come to Anaheim in the spring if the good accounts he has heard of this place can be confirmed. He asks (1) What is the population of your place? (2) How would the tailoring business pay? (3) How does property sell? (4) Does the Southern Pacific run through Anaheim? He further adds: "The talk is here, to keep away from California unless you are rich, but from what I can learn it is a very pleasant country to live in, so I would like to try it although we would not have over two or three thousand dollars to go on." In answer to his questions, we reply: (1) Anabeim township has a population of 1469; the town proper has a population of 833. These are the figures of the census taken last year, but the population has increased to some extent since then. (2) A good tailor is wanted here at the present time, and in our opinion he would find a paying business. (3) Property is for sale at very reasonable rates. Town lots can be had from $100 a lot upward, and building materials' is plentiful and cheap. Unimproved land suitable for vineyards or orchards, sells at from $25 to $50 per acre, and in quality is unsurpassed by any locality in the State. (4) The Southern Pacific passes through Anaheim. We are in direct rail communication with San Francisco, the East and Arizona. The talk which our correspondent says is indulged in, about keeping away from California unless rich, is the veriest bosh. The man who comes here with two or three thousand dollars (which our Kansas 'friend says comprises his fortune) and fails to make himself a pleasant and profitable home, must be deficient in good, common sense or lacking the common gift of being a good manager. Wealth will not flow in rapidly, it is true; on the contrary there will be a steady outgo of money until one's trees or vines begin to yield, say three or four years at the utmost. But while waiting for returns from his orchard or vineyard, as the case may be, the settler is building up a beautiful home, is absorbed in a healthful and pleasant occupation, and in five years has, with industry and good management, accomplished greater results than he could have done elsewhere in double that time. There has, indeed, been many instances of settlers coming here with even more amperage than our Kansas friend. BORN. In Los Angeles, Oct. 25, to the wife of Geo. Ulrich, s/daughter. MARRIED.
