WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...MARCH 25, 1882 Kleinigkeiten. William C. Reed has been appointed postmaster at Gorman, in this county. The trial of T. B. Hulse, indicted for the murder of Fred. Reuter, will take place in Judge Sepulveda's court on April 25th. A meeting to organize an anti-horse-thief society will be held at the truck house this evening. Mr. D. W. Fields formerly of Newhall and Mr. J. A. McFadden formerly of Westminster have purchased the well known store of A. B. Sampson of Tucson. Some first-class farming land near Anaheim is offered for rent by Mr. D. E. Miles. The rent is low, and persons desiring to rent will have no difficulty in making terms with Mr. Miles. We learn from Mr. J. E. Pleasants that, so far, the bees have fared very well, and that if the country is favored with a few more showers, the prospects for a crop of honey will be good. The Dr. Simms' place in North Anaheim has been bought by J. H. Stewart, who will be remembered as a partner in the firm of Stewart & Hill, which did business in Anaheim many years ago. His sons are now at work setting out vines on the place. John McDonald, First Mate of the ship Queenstown, now lying at Wilmington, was examined before U. S. Commissioner Lee on Wednesday and held in bonds of one thousand dollars each on three charges of cruelty to sailors. THE COUNTRY. The Metamorphosis Wrought by the Rain-New Vineyards. A couple of weeks ago, the farmer thought his season's work was done. Thoroughly discouraged, he had put away his plows, staked out his horses, and idly faced with more or less patience the long, dull, dry prospect before him. The grass was withering in his fields, the land which he had cultivated with the expectation of planting vines was lying yellow and parched — in short his operations were completely and thoroughly checked by the absence of rains. Such was the condition of affairs in many parts of the country on the morning of the 12th instant, but how different it is now! Then, idleness; now, activity. Then, despair; now, hope. The three inches of rain has not only completely changed the face of Nature, but has changed the nature of men as well. It has infused new life and energy into every one, and the change is all the more appreciated because it came so unexpectedly. One of the busiest, as it is one of the most beautiful, parts of the country just now is North Anaheim. The eye never rested upon a fairer prospect than there presents itself. It is in every respect the most desirable part of the county. It is picturesque, the soil is of great fertility, and it can be easily irrigated. The completion of the reservoir will enhance the value of this land's hundred-fold. This is the section where so much irrigation has been done this winter, and when we were there on Wednesday, the ditch was still carrying its full capacity of fertile water. Over all this noble expanse of ground men can be seen planting out vineyars, and the lateness of the season causes them to work with a will, as the season for planting vine cuttings is rapidly passing away. Among the new vineyards being put out in that district, in addition to those mentioned in previous issues of the Gazette, are the following: J. H. Stewart, 15 acres; Robert Parker, 8 acres; F. Bockman, 6 acres; H. Burdoff, 6 acres; W. Hetebrink, 6 acres; F. Rhuemain, 18 acres; O. Des Granges, 6 acres; W. Fromheim, 40 acres; F. H. Freye, 18 acres; A. Wright, 20 acres. There are probably not less than three or four hundred acres. WANTED: A question on growers of this fruit their fruits, and be speedily answer nearer than Lowland and inconvenience is so great that nearly all absorb all of the county, even this year to fulfill considerable size chards are just enough will increase from If this paragraph some man who and who is prepared of his own in these he could secure cannery by canvas ers of Anaheim, O and adjoining town necessary grounds donated in Anaheim who see their trees no market open gladly give part of year to help to ease assume that all man would be rebated by them out of the feel certain that in good faith property will find the perfect concessions which ask. We find in a statistics which we immense proportion has grown on this tion says: By the opinion of the major quantity is placed which San Francisco Jose 2,000,000, a more. For a ser were as follows: 16,500,000; 1877,489; 1879,700,000; 1879,350,000. The chart canned, and the area and 1881, are as follows: Table fruits, cans. Pie fruits. Jams and Jellies. John McDonald, First Mate of the ship Queenstown, now lying at Wilmington, was examined before U. S. Commissioner Lee on Wednesday and held in bonds of one thousand dollars each on three charges of cruelty to sailors. The Laguna ranch near Los Angeles, owned by Col. R. S. Baker, has been leased to a party of San Francisco capitalists for a period of eight years and six months at a yearly rental of $19,000. There are 17,000 acres of land in the ranch. The lessees propose to seed it to grain. The contract for the iron front of the new brick block was let on Monday to P. N. O'Donnell of the Los Angeles Foundry. The contract for the carpenter work will be let to-day. The work of construction will now go rapidly forward, and it is expected that the building will be ready for occupancy within two months. One of the most beautiful sights in the country now is the apricot orchard of Mr. F. J. J. Schmidt. The eleven hundred trees are full of bloom, and the effect is very pleasing. The trees will probably each bear 150 pounds of fruit, and Mr. Schmidt is considering the propriety of purchasing a drier in order to preserve the crop. The Planters' Hotel has been leased by Mr. J. E. Stackpole, who has been in business in Santa Ana for some years. He has just returned from San Francisco, where he has been purchasing new furniture, billiard table, etc., and the house is undergoing a thorough renovation under the supervision of the new proprietor, Capt. Fergpson. Quite a force of kalsominers and carpenters are at work, and in a short time the various evidences of dilapidation will have given place to an appearance of thrift and energy. The lighterage system at Wilmington is apparently likely to continue an indefinite length of time, despite the talk about bringing ship and rail together. We judge so from the following item which we take from the Herald: "Owing to the increasing traffic at Wilmington harbor, Admiral Banning has now in process of construction the largest sized lighter ever built there. She is expected to have a carrying capacity of 500 tons. Three more will be built as soon as this is off the ways. He has also under contract a new steam propeller tug, which, with those he now has in use will greatly expedite his work." The Gazette of last week contained a full capacity of fertile water. Over all this noble expanse of ground men can be seen planting out vineyards, and the lateness of the season causes them to work with a will, as the season for planting vine cuttings is rapidly passing away. Among the new vineyards being put out in that district, in addition to those mentioned in previous issues of the Gazette, are the following: J. H. Stewart, 13 acres; Robert Parker, 8 acres; F. Bockman, 6 acres; H. Burdoff, 6 acres; W. Hetebrink, 6 acres; F. Rhuemann, 18 acres; O. Des Granges, 6 acres; W. Fromheim, 40 acres; F. H. Freye, 18 acres; A. Wright, 20 acres. There are, probably, not less than three or four hundred acres of new vineyards being planted in North Apaheim and Orangethorpe. Twenty votes were cast at the Convention held last Saturday night to nominate candidates for municipal offices. J. P. Zayn, F. A. Korn, D. J. Sorenson, R. J. Northam and Phillip Davis were nominated for Trustees; A. W. Steinhart for Clerk; Louis Wartenberg for Marshal; J. Bannerscheidt for Treasurer; C. H. Zayn for Assessor and T. L. Gannon for Justice of the Peace. Mr. D. J. Sorenson requests us to say that, while grateful for the honor conferred upon him by the convention, he must decline to be a candidate, being unable to give the time which the duties of Trustee require. Mr. J. Bannerscheidt requests us to express his appreciation of the honor conferred upon him, and to say that he declines the nomination for Treasurer. Mr. R. J. Northam requests us to state that, being an advocate of Civil Service Reform, and a staunch foe of Nepotism, he respectfully declines to accept the nomination tendered him by the Convention. A case which has excited a great deal of interest has been in progress in Los Angeles during the week. A saloon keeper named Phillippi was arrested on a charge of violating the Sunday law, and he had a jury trial in Judge Adams' Court. The jury after having been out a number of hours, were unable to agree upon a verdict and were discharged. They stood seven for conviction and five for acquittal. A number of other arrests were made for violation of the Sunday law, and each of the accused parties will have their trial in due time. The new store on the corner of Los Angeles and Center Streets will formally open to day, as will be seen by the advertisement. Mr. Dobner, the proprietor, has taken up his residence here in order to regain his health, and proposes to stay here permanently and build up a business. He has $20,000 worth of goods, and in order to make it profitable to carry such an enormous stock, he intends to stick to his motto of "quick sales and small profits." Capt. Geo. C. Knox arrived in town on Thursday night. He is filling his old position of Deputy Assessor. His familiarity immense proportion has grown on this occasion says: By the opinion of the man quantity is placed which San Francisco Jose 2,000,000, amore For a serene were as follows: 16,500,000; 1877,449; 1879,700,000; 1890,000 The chan canned, and the art and 1881 are as for Table fruits, cans Pie fruits Jams and Jellies Tomatoes Peas String beans Miscellaneous LOS ANGELE Corrected weekly for Commission and Ship Los Angeles P.O.

The project is one of such great importance that every precaution should be taken to guard against mistakes, and this proposed re-survey is something eminently proper and prudent. The following real estate transactions occurred during the week: Samuel E Jones and Mary L, his wife, to A S Ferguson—House lot 29, Anaheim (Planters' Hotel); other considerations and $5210.

Knox arrived in town on Thursday night. He is filling his old position of Deputy Assessor. His familiarity with this section of the county makes him an efficient and expert official. He will be in Orange on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, at J. W. Anderson's store, where those who desire to give in their property can find an opportunity to do so. Under the influence of the warm weather of the past few days the walnut trees have begun to bloom, and one-year old vines have also burst their buds. Older vines have not yet shown life, though a continuance of the present kind of weather will soon start them into activity. This time last year the vineyards had all started and were a mass of green. Anaheim Lodge and Orpheus Lodge of I. O. O. F. have decided to give a social and ball on the evening of April 26th, the anniversary of the organization of the Order in the United States. As soon as the details have been fixed upon, the programme of the evening will be published. The cellar in Kroeger's block has been leased by Mr. P. D. Gardemeyer, who will open it next Saturday under the name of "The Fountain." He will during the week receive his billiard tables from San Francisco, and will renovate the bowling alley. Mr. Ang. Reuter of Santa Ana was in town yesterday. He reports the new brewery progressing, and that some of the beer will be on the market in a few days. The alfalfa seed sold by T. C. Hull, Westminster, is guaranteed free from yellow vine and all foreign substances. WANTED—A CANNERY. A question of vital interest to the fruit growers of this section is what to do with their fruits, and it is a question which must be speedily answered. There is no cannery nearer than Los Angeles, and the expense and inconvenience of shipping fruit thither is so great that the growers' profits would be nearly all absorbed. In this southern part of the county, enough trees will be bearing this year to furnish fruit to a cannery of considerable size, and as many of the orchards are just coming into bearing, the yield will increase from year to year. If this paragraph should meet the eye of some man who understands the business, and who is prepared to invest some capital of his own in the enterprise, we think that he could secure pecuniary help to start a cannery by canvassing among the fruit growers of Anaheim, Garden Grove, Westminster and adjoining towns. We assume that the necessary grounds for the buildings would be donated in Anaheim, and that the growers, who see their trees loaded with fruit with no market open for it when it ripens, will gladly give part of their profits for the first year to help to establish a cannery. We also assume that all municipal taxes and licenses would be rebated by the authorities, or paid by them out of the town funds. In fact, we feel certain that if any one comes here and in good faith proposes to start a cannery, he will find the people ready to make all the concessions which a reasonable man could ask. We find in a San Francisco paper some statistics which we copy to show to what immense proportions the canning business has grown on this coast. The paper in question says: By those competent to form an opinion of the magnitude of the trade, the quantity is placed at 12,000,000 cans, of which San Francisco packed 8,000,000. San Jose 2,000,000, and other places 2,000,000 more. For a series of years the figures were as follows: 1875, 4,500,000 cans; 1876, 6,500,000; 1877, 4,950,000; 1878, 6,155,000; 1879, 7,000,000; 1880, 6,600,000; 1881, 11,-330,000. The character of the productions canned, and the amounts for the years 1880 and 1881, are as follows: 1880. 1881. Table fruits, cans...3,300,000 5,500,000 Pie fruits...450,000 450,000 Jams and Jellies...650,000 700,000 NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FARMING LANDS.
