WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY... APRIL 1, 1892 A new association has recently been formed in London under the title of "The Zoological Necropolis Company (Limited)." Its object is "to provide a burial place for pet animals, dogs, pussy cats, and little birds." It is also proposed to establish a home for aged and infirm animals, which would also serve as a depository for pets when their owners abroad. Oscar Wilde delivered his first lecture at Platt's Hall, San Francisco, on Tuesday evening. A full audience of the best social element was present and received the apostle of aestheticism civilly and pleasantly. He spoke without notes, and but with little gesture, for about an hour and a quarter. His delivery is said to be monotonous, but his language good and enunciation clear and distinct. His subject was "English Renaissance." The Chronicle says that the Treasury officials at Washington are making a strict investigation into the recent seizure of opium in the port of San Francisco. The authorities believe that there was a conspiracy to which several customs officials and a number of smugglers were parties. The inquiries in that city are being diligently pushed by agents of the Treasury Department, and there is reason to believe that sufficient evidence will be obtained to convict several residents of San Francisco. One would think that the frequency with which such accidents as the late Vulcan Powder explosion occur would warn employees to exercise the greatest possible caution while exposed to such dangers. But it seems that continuous exposure to danger inspires more than usual care only for a time, when it is replaced by a feeling of security, or at least insensibility to danger, which often leads to gross carelessness. Such terrible accidents as the Hudson River Railroad wreck, the Vienna Theatre horror, and hundreds of similar incidents are of One would think that the frequency with which such accidents as the late Vulcan Powder explosion occur would warn employees to exercise the greatest possible caution while exposed to such dangers. But it seems that continuous exposure to danger inspires more than usual care only for a time, when it is replaced by a feeling of security, or at least insensibility to danger, which often leads to gross carelessness. Such terrible accidents as the Hudson River Railroad wreck, the Vienna Theatre horror, and hundreds of similar disasters are of almost daily occurrence, and shock the world with their sickening details. It is true that in many cases the accidents could not have been foreseen, but if due care was exercised and the greatest possible precautions taken to prevent them, they would be of much less frequent occurrence. James Kidd was recently brought up for preliminary examination before the Justice of Dimmick, La Salle county, Illinois, on a charge of shooting a man named Faust, and the following is a copy of the decision rendered, as reported in the local papers: "Gentlemen of the Jury and Gentlemen of the Case: I have sat here since 12 o'clock listening to the evidence of our witnesses and the pleadings of our attorneys. You all know I have a mind or I wouldn't have sense enough to sit here. I am a young man 27 years of age, and my mind has been worked as it never has been before. I have just spent six hours closest attention, and am somewhat confused, but not so much confused but that I can reprimand this case as stated to me. I have listened to the expert physicians and attorneys. In relation to a man's property in peril we have a right of defence, but my way of defence would be to enter complaint and do away with the pistols. Exercising my own sound judgment Mr. Kidd is probably guilty, but to be proven at Ottawa. Now as to the question of committing him to jail or to give bonds and let him go to his family is a question that is weighing my mind. It is a serious case, and if I should put Mr. Kidd under bonds what bonds should I put him under? Mr. Seaman says $3,000 or $4,000 bonds. I wouldn't feel safe to do that. I would be afraid to walk from home here to night, and wouldn't be able to sleep and would be dreaming bad dreams all night. As for the Hon. Mr. Kidd, (referring to the prisoner—Ed.) I feel sorry for his family, but when it comes to law I must exercise my own sound judgment. If I put him under bonds, the least I would put him under would be $50,000. To modify I will reverse my judgment, I will put it at $30,000. If I do less, which if the Hon. Mr. Kidd can give bail he can go to his family. Now the question which weighs my mind is whether I shall take bonds or commit him to jail. The statute says, (here the square sat down and rapidly passed his finger over an open book but did not read.) As far asanced by other advantages. One fact, however, must be borne in mind. No climate can work a miracle. We frequently see persons coming here in the last stages of consumption, expecting to be cured when no cure is possible. Our advice is always to make the change in time, if this is done and ordinary prudence exercised, we believe that the disease cannot only be checked, but entirely cured. We append a table published in our first issue of this year, giving the average temperature for each month, for the past five years. The average is made up from four readings of the thermometer daily—at 7 A.M., at 7 P.M., and at its lowest and highest readings: | | 1877 | 1878 | 1879 | 1880 | 1881 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Jan ... | 51¹ | 51¹ | 51 | 48¹ | 49¹ | | Feb ... | 56 | 52¹ | 54 | 46¹ | 53¹ | | March ... | 58 | 54 | 56¹ | 48 | 52¹ | | April ... | 57¹ | 56 | 57¹ | 54¹ | 60¹ | | May ... | 61¹ | 60¹ | 61¹ | 60¹ | 62¹ | | June ... | 70 | 64 | 65¹ | 64 | 66¹ | | July ... | 72¹ | 67¹ | 68¹ | 55¹ | 69¹ | | Aug ... | 70¹ | 69 | 70¹ | 66¹ | 67¹ | | Sept ... | 69 | 66¹ | 66¹ | 63¹ | 66¹ | | Oct ... | 62 | 61¹ | 62¹ | 60 | 59¹ | | Nov ... | 59¹ | 36 | 53¹ | 54 ¶ | 54¶ | | Dec ... | 54¶ | 50¶ | 52¶ | 54¶ | Concerning the resources and prospects for the future we would say that though Anaheim was settled by a colony, there are no commercial or company operations. At the expiration of a certain period the land was divided among the original members, many of whom still remain here, and have become wealthy. There is an abundance of land to be had at prices ranging from forty to one hundred dollars per acre that is unsurpassed for vineyard and orchard purposes. The Anaheim Water Company have this past season largely increased the carrying capacity of their ditches, and are able to irrigate a greater acreage than ever before. Other improvements are contemplated for the near future, which, when carried out, will give us the best water system in the State. Land that has no water stock upon it now, can be stocked at a cost exceedingly reasonable when the benefits of a certain and abundant supply of water is considered. During the past twelve months the immigration into this county has been very large. The heavy rains of the month of March having assured the crops, makes the future prospects very encouraging. A large number of new vineyards are being set out, and business men of all classes are hopeful of an exceedingly prosperous year. We urge our correspondents to come and see for themselves, fully confident that if they come they will be very certain to remain.

The toothsome leviathan, which was found to weigh 250 pounds, was brought to Los Angeles and exhibited yesterday afternoon on the streets. Mr. R. Rogers informs the Herald that never, in his thirteen years experience in Los Angeles county, has he seen the crops in his section look as well as they do now. As flattering reports are received from the Centinela, San Fernando, Savannah, and nearly every other section of the county hitherto noted for a considerable yield of the cereals. Two boys, aged about 11 and 12 respectively, came down on Thursday evening's train from Los Angeles. They said they were "looking for work and something to eat." It appearing that they had run away from their homes, they were taken in charge by Marshal Barham and given a good supper. In accordance with a telegram sent by the Chief of Police, they were held over to be returned to their anxious parents on the morning train, but yesterday morning, after eating a hearty breakfast at the hotel, they managed to ship out and the Marshal's endeavors to find them have so far been unsuccessful. Vicksburg, March 28th.—Reports from the overflowed districts are very discouraging. New Orleans, March 28th.—There is a crevasse at the Arizona Plantation, twelve feet deep and two hundred wide. This crevasse may overflow all the sugar plantations on the left bank down to Bonnet Carre. The entire Grossetete country is reported submerged. The Back water is rapidly encroaching on the plantations west of Baton Rouge. New Orleans, March 30.—A special from Troy, Louisiana, says: The water here is three feet ten inches above the 1874 flood. The boat engaged in rescuing cattle is supposed to have gone down in the storm on Monday on Catahoula Lake with one hundred head of stock. The hills in Catahoula Parish are crowded with people and cattle. The rising water has demoralized the negroes at Liddle's place, where one woman was drowned on Sunday. On the Mississippi place a house and family were washed away. The gin house at Horse Shoe, below Troy, containing a hundred negroes, is threatened with destruction. Natchez, March 29.—Information has reached this city of the destruction of the Bolson Gin, near Lake St. John, Tensas parish, by which 120 refugees lost their lives. This gin was one of the largest in North Louisiana and was packed to overflowing with negroes from adjacent plantations. St. Paul, March 29.—Dr. W. H. Falkner, Assistant Surgeon of the U.S.A., who has been vaccinating Indians in the West, says that Sitting Bull is anxious to see his people tilling the soil, and plans are suggested to transfer Sitting Bull and his immediate followers from Fort Randall to Yankton Agency for instruction in civilization. General Butler positively declines to become counsel for Guitean. MORE ARIZONA OUTRAGES. Another bloody affray occurred near Tombstone on Wednesday morning, in which two men were killed and three wounded. Word was received at that place that two desperate characters, for whom warrants were lying in the Sheriff's office, were in the vicinity of the place, and Deputy Sheriff Breckenridge organized a posse of three men and started out to make the arrests. The Sheriff's party arrived at Chandler's milk ranch, where the desperadoes were housed, just at daybreak. It was the intention of the party to get as near the house as possible without raising any alarm, and then wait until broad daylight before making an attempt to arrest the parties. They were frustrated in this by the barking of dogs; therefore, after their approach was thus heralded, they determined to proceed to business at once, so they rode boldly up to near the house, where they dismounted. One of the party rapped at the door, asking who was in the house, which summons was answered, "Those who belong here." They asked the man to get up and get them some breakfast. They were told to go to the other house, a small house about one hundred yards below. Thinking that possibly the parties they wanted might be at the other house, Young and another man started down. When part of the way, on looking around it was found that the whole party were on the way, when it was decided that the upper house ought to be watched. So Breckenridge and Gillespie returned. About this time the door was opened and a man named Lewis, a teamster, who was staying over night there, stepped out immediately followed by Hunt, who commenced firing. The firing then became general. Billy Grounds, alias Billy the Kid, one of the desperadoes, received a charge of buckshot full in the face, killing him almost instantly. Zwing Hunt, the other desperado, was mortally shot through the breast. The Sheriff escaped without serious injury, but one of his posses named Gillespie was killed, and the other two slightly wounded. ANOTHER STEAMBOAT HORROR. MEMPHIS, March 30.—The Cincinnati and New Orleans packet Golden City, en route from New Orleans to Cincinnati was burned. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. Everybody is busy putting in crops and killing the weeds. Farmers are paying $1 25 per day and board, but cannot get as many hands as they want. Messrs. Stevens, Anderson, Marden and others were surveying their lines Tuesday and Wednesday. They want their lines fixed as they expect to make permanent improvements this summer. John Patterson was here the last of last week. He has not changed much since he was here last. He and Mr. Craig have rented pasture for their sheep at the mouth of the Santiago canyon. Mr. W. R. Patterson has returned from Riverside. He has his sheep up near there. Miss Carrie McCoy is spending a week's vacation at home. Miss Jennie Gardner from Carbondale, is with her. Joseph Caldwell has finished the well for Mr. McPherson, getting 24 inches flow. Robert Bothwick is boring a well for Mr. John Bixby on the Alamitos, northwest of here. Little Della McCoy was very sick Saturday and Sunday, but is better. While other places are troubling themselves to get rid of their Chinamen, we have no such trouble. Our last Chinaman of the wash house is going to Santa Ana this week. No other one has rented the wash house yet. We understand that one of our large corn raisers, who refused to sell for less than $2 per cwt., a short time ago, has sold his last year's crop for $1 20 and sacks. Mr. David McFadden and family have gone to the mountains to spend a few weeks. From Rev. R. Strong we get the following real estate items: J. W. Aldridge has sold to Joseph Giberson his half interest in Hotel and lot. Mrs. P. Howe to James McFadden, the lot now used by him for his store. H. D. Young to J. H. Fleming, town lot 28, adjoining his house. Jacob Willey to Robert W. Clark, bee ranch in Trabnea canyon. Presbyterian church has arranged to buy additional 100 feet north of church from Thaddens Alward. Mrs.' Wella proposes to buy the house and half lot south of J. F. Marquis' house. PACIFIC COAST NEWS. A while man and a Chinawoman were married recently at Butte City, M. T. Katata, the Alaska Indian murderer, was executed at Portland, Oregon, on Tuesday last. Frank Martin, aged 14, accidentally killed himself near Dallas, Oregon, Sunday afternoon by carelessly handling a gun. An aged colored man named Baily, living at Cedar Creek, Nevada, lately had his skull fractured by being thrown from his wagon. Crow Dog, recently convicted of the murder of Spotted Tail at Deadwood City, on Wednesday was sentenced to be hanged on May 11th. A young man named Harry Theobald, a hotel porter, committed suicide in San Francisco on Tuesday by jumping from one of the ferry boats. At a Spanish wedding at Santa Barbara last Sunday, Francisco Lugo, while in a row, was shot in the back of the head, but not seriously. At Austin, Nev., on the 26th ult., one man was killed and another seriously hurt by falling down an abandoned shaft a distance of 260 feet. James Webber, an employee of the Caspar saw mill, Mendoeino county, was killed on Monday by a piece of timber striking him in the eye. Sullivan challenges any man in this or the old country to fight him for $5,000 a side, he to use gloves and his opponent, if he desires to fight with bare knuckles. Near Dayton, W. T., recently, the little two-year-old child of Wm. Parker fell into a tub of scalding water and was burned so badly that it died in three hours. The Star route services in the Pacific States and Territories cost annually, under Gen. Brady, $2,$44,165, and contracts for the same service have been made for $1,125,-149. The Board of Supervisors of San Luis Obispo have purchased a ton of squirrel poison for free distribution to the farmers of that county. Squirrels must be bad up there. ANOTHER STEAMBOAT HORROR. MEMPHIS, March 30.—The Cincinnati and New Orleans packet Golden City, en route from New Orleans to Cincinnati, was burned at the wharf this morning at 4:30 o'clock. Between thirty and fifty lives were lost, principally women and children. MEMPHIS, March 30.—LATER.—The steamer Golden City, of the Southern Transportation Company, when approaching her wharf this morning at 4:30 o'clock, was discovered to be on fire. Her second engineer, Robert Kelly, immediately notified Captain Purcell, the pilot on watch. The boat was headed for shore, and four minutes afterwards she touched the wharf at the foot of Beale street, where the coal fleet is moored. A line was hastily thrown ashore and made fast to one of the coal barges. The current being swift it soon parted, and the burning steamer floated on down the river a mass of flames, with many of the crew and passengers on board, who were unable to reach shore and were lost. The Golden City left New Orleans Saturday en route to Cincinnati. She carried a crew of about sixty and had about forty cabin passengers, fifteen of whom were ladies and nine children. Her cargo consisted of 300 tons, among which was a lot of jute, in which it is supposed the fire originated. THE IRISH TROUBLES. LONDON, March 27.—A desperate affray occurred at Cloghan, King's county, Ireland, between soldiers and "emergency men." The latter discharged revolvers. There were several arrests. An attempt was made yesterday to blow up a house belonging to Mahon, agent of Lord Clonbrook's estate. Dispatches from Ireland report a case in which a disguised band cut off the nose of a man because in a poor law guardian contest he canvassed in opposition to the candidate of the Land League. DUBLIN, March 27.—A shell was thrown into a house near Letterkenny, County Donegal, to-day, and two rooms were destroyed. At Rathdowney, County Queens, a priest has been imprisoned for using seditious language. If the recent affair near Thurles, about thirty men attacked the house of a farmer suspected of paying rent. The police, in ambush, fired upon the party, when they fled. The police pursued and fired twenty rounds of buckshot after them, killing one man and wounding several others. Mrs. P. Howe to James McFadden, the lot now used by him for his store. H. D. Young to J. H. Fleming, town lot 28, adjoining his house. Jacob Willey to Robert W. Clark, bee ranch in Trabneau canyon. Presbyterian church has arranged to buy additional 100 feet north of church from Thaddens Alward. Mrs. Wells proposes to buy the house and half lot south of J. F. Marquis' house. CHICAGO, March 27th.—It was learned today that a "crank" hailing from Ohio presented himself at the Scoville residence last Friday morning. He claimed to be a partner of Guitean, and said Scoville had deserted his friend, who obeyed the Lord in the assassination of President Garfield, and that he (the "crank") had traveled a long distance to carry out the Lord's will. Scoville's family became alarmed, and caused the fellow to be removed to the police station in the patrol wagon, fearing that he would do harm to some member of the family, as he had failed to find his intended victim, who is at present absent in Washington. The "crank" was taken to his home in Ohio by his son, who came here in search of his father. The police refused to give his name. NEW YORK, March 27th.—The World prints a singular story of Wall-street transactions. Last year, John R. Duff, a wealthy Bostonian, had an extensive stock transaction with Kennedy, Hutchinson & Co., who made it appear that he was a heavy loser, while according to the market quotations he should have been a winner. On the list of January the firm dissolved and business was continued by three clerks, with Kennedy a special partner. Duff, after consultation with friends, had an examination made of the books of the old firm, when it appeared that he was entitled to nearly $1,500,000. The matter was finally compromised by the payment to Duff of $750,000. WASHINGTON, March 26th.—It is rumored that De Lesseps located his canal at Panama because he could not secure the concession of Nicaragua route; the Government of Nicaragua preferring Americans, and that he never seriously intended to dig in Panama, but secretly connived to defeat the Nicaragua undertaking by Americans; that he is now proceeding to secure the latter grant, on the supposition that the Americans have given it up. BOSTON, March 26.—The funeral of Longfellow to-day was attended by many persons of literary note. The services, which were short, were conducted by Rev. Samuel W. Longfellow, brother of the deceased. The remains were placed in the family vault at Mount Auburn Cemetery. In the evening memorial services were held in the chapel of Harvard College and an eulogy was pronounced by Professor C. C. Everett. two-year-old child of Wm. Parker fell into a tub of scalding water and was burned so badly that it died in three hours. The Star route services in the Pacific States and Territories cost annually, under Gen. Brady, $2,844,165, and contracts for the same service have been made for $1,125,-149. The Board of Supervisors of San Luis Obispo have purchased a ton of squirrel poison for free distribution to the farmers of that county. Squirrels must be bad up there. Prairie and wood fires have been raging in Southern Arizona and Southwestern New Mexico recently. The territory burned over is reported to cover forty miles square, and the damage done is immense. The origin of the fire is attributed to the Indians. Hugh Mooneyy, a saloon keeper in San Francisco, was shot on Tuesday evening, from the effects of which he died four hours later. "Tom" McCormick, a notorious character who was found in the saloon at the time, has been arrested as the murderer. Frederich Christech, an old resident of Petaluma, committed suicide at that place by shooting himself through the head with a shotgun. He had been suffering for years from rheumatism, and had been made a cripple thereby. A farmer near Helena, M. T., has a dog that is given to pipe smoking, tobacco chewing and whisky drinking, in all of which habits he is known to indulge whenever he comes to the capital. In the Helena saloons he is recognized at sight. On Monday evening, John Killalea, a San Francisco "longshoreman," murdered his wife, mutilating her body in a terrible manner with a sheath knife. He was immediately arrested and lodged in the City Prison, awaiting trial. Jealousy and drink appears to have been the cause of the act. Ex-Governor Furmas of Brownville, Nebraska, in a recent letter says: "I am just shipping 200,000 grape cuttings to France, which with 800,000 already sent there, is just an even 1,000,000 of Nebraska grapes sent to the great wine-growing region of the world. Our American varieties improve in size and quality with a change of climate." Joe Dixon, the young son of J. H. Dixon of Skull Valley (Arizona), had been rearing a few head of sheep. Several nights since a mountain hon got into the fold and killed three of his pets. Young Dixon mounted his pinto horse and went in search of the transgressor, and found him perched upon a tree. He succeeded in throwing a lasso over his form when off Joe went on his pinto charger for home, where he arrived with the lifeless carcass of a ten-foot lion, which weighed 250 pounds. SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.—The explosion across the bay this morning occurred in the granulating Louse of the Vulcan Powder Company where the manufacture of black DUBLIN, March 27.—A shell was thrown into a house near Letterkenny, County Donegal, to-day, and two rooms were destroyed.

The police, in ambush, fired upon the party, when they fled. The police pursued and fired twenty rounds of buckshot after them, killing one man and wounding several others. Fresh vineyards are being planted with great rapidity in Spain, and are driving out grain crops, which do not now pay so well, the very reverse of what, owing to the phylloxera, is occurring in France. Of course, it is the growing French demand that causes this activity in Spain. Common country vines, which hitherto sold for next to nothing in the villages, began last year to be exported in large quantities; the only difficulty in the way being want of means of transport. It was the wine dearth in France, too, which last year nearly trebled the price of wine at Corfu. Being of a deep red color, with much roughness and body, and an alcoholic strength of from ten to fifteen degrees, it is well suited for "mixing." The wines of Santa Manra and Cumi, which are of the same character, were also exported to France, as was white wine of Santorin. WASHINGTON, March 29th.—The House, in the Senate amendment to the House bill granting a pension of $5,000 a year to Lucretia R. Garfield, has concurred in the amendment, which includes the names of Sarah C. Polk and Julia G. Tyler. A violent hurricane swept over Monroe, La., on the 27th ulk, laying waste several plantations. It is reported that several negroes were killed. Nineteen persons were drowned by the capizing of a lifeboat at Havre, on the 26th ult. BOSTON, March 26.—The funeral of Longfellow to-day was attended by many persons of literary note. The services, which were short, were conducted by Rev. Samuel W. Longfellow, brother of the deceased. The remains were placed in the family vault at Mount Auburn Cemetery. In the evening memorial services were held in the chapel of Harvard College and an enlogy was pronounced by Professor C. C. Everett. ST. LOUIS, March 28.—Miss Phoebe Cousins, the well-known woman suffrage advocate of this city, has applied to President Arthur to be appointed one of the five commissioners to reorganize Utah under the recent Act of Congress. A numerously signed petition for her appointment will be sent to the President in a few days. CHICAGO, March 29.—The Evening Journal's Pine Bluff, Arkansas, special says that Mrs. Ballard, of Lincoln county, after a disagreement with her husband Monday morning, took her children, aged seven and four years, and a four-month-old infant, and repaired to the pond in the rear of their house, where she broke the necks of the two oldest, threw their bodies into the pond, and then drowned herself and infant. LONDON, March 26.—The Observer thus closes a feeling tribute to Longfellow: "It is scarcely too much to say that since the death of Byron no living English poet has enjoyed so wide a popularity as Longfellow. LONDON, March 26th.—The Globe says the death of Longfellow is a national loss to England. A general and true appreciation was accorded him here, even at a time when in America he was anything but popular. PETTU, March 27.—Sixty houses and fifty outbuildings at Baczenla and 248 houses at Saks were burned to-day. Several families are in destination. SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.—The explosion across the bay this morning occurred in the granulating House of the Vulcan Powder Company, where the manufacture of black blasting powder was in progress. A fire broke out in the room, communicating almost instantly to the powder, only a small quantity of which was in the building. A blast of flame, however, rushed across the passage separating the granulating from the drying houses. In the latter about three tons of powder was stored, which at once exploded. The concussion was not heavy, and the windows of buildings 200 yards distant were not broken. The drying house was blown to pieces, killing or wounding all the men at work there. The following is a list of the killed: George Stanfield, engineer; H. C. Lamb, carpenter; L. W. Starr, carpenter; Thoa Mills; carpenter; Mr. Stewart, general assistant about the works, and six Chinamen. Wounded: Gottlieb Koch, carpenter; W. B. Dale, foreman of the works; Peter Schafer, carpenter; Mr. Ferris, also a carpenter. The result of the injuries of the wounded men is doubtful. The loss of property will probably fall within $25,000. The total cost of the Afghan war is estimated at £21,611,000, of which amount £17,551,000 were for military operations and £4,060,000 for frontier railways. The wife of a United States Senator says that her bill for flowers during the season is $2,000. Mr. and Mrs. McDonald had a street fight with pistols at New Lexington, Ohio, over the possession of their child. They had agreed to separate but neither wished to give up the little one.

Center Street, Anaheim, Cal. Being satisfied that the credit business is detrimental both to the merchant and consumer, I have positively resolved to stop it after the 1st day of September, 1881, and confine myself to a strictly cash basis. For this purpose I will sell goods at the lowest market rates possible, for Cash or Produce, and feel assured that it will be for the benefit of all parties. Thanking my customers for their liberal patronage in the past, I would respectfully solicit a continuance of the same in the future. All persons knowing themselves to be indebted to me will please come forward and make a settlement at their earliest convenience.

THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1882, which injured or destroyed scores of Windmills in Los Angeles County proved conclusively that the CALIFORNIA WINDMILL is the only one that can stand, uninjured, a heavy gale. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known every one of the California Mills put up by the underigned escaped injury. These Mills are so strongly made and so perfectly self-regulating that, when properly put up, it is almost impossible for a storm to injure them. It is also superior to other Mills in having an ADJUSTABLE STROKE (& different lengths) in the ease and indifference of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low price at which it is sold. I will furnish these Mills with Pumps and Tanks, and set them up in complete running order at the lowest possible rate. For further particulars call upon or address N. H. SMITH, Anaheim, Cal.
