WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY... MAY 20, 1882 Kleinigkeiten. There were five commitments from Los Angeles to the insane asylum last week. The Fourth of July will soon be here. Shall we celebrate? Andrew B. Brown has been appointed Postmaster at Duarte in this county. One hundred and twenty-five dollars will buy a marble-bed billiard table. See advertisement.

The ladies of the Episcopal Church will give a sociable at the parsonage, on Thursday evening, May 25th, beginning at eight o'clock. All are invited to attend. Mr. E. J. Pellegrin is contributing weekly letters to a Los Angeles paper. Mr. Pellegrin is an admirable correspondent, and his letters cannot fail to do good. Recorder Lamb reports a not profit to the county in his office, for the month of April, of $820. A large proportion of this was upon conveyances, while there has been a notable decrease in the number of mortgages. The Southern California Fruit Packing Company of Los Angeles began the season's canning on Wednesday, starting on peas with fifteen hands. The Company will be ANAHEIM WATER COMPANY. A general meeting of stockholders was held on Monday afternoon. The committee appointed at a previous meeting to settle with the company's attorney reported that they had been unable to agree upon a basis of settlement, but that they had received a proposition from Mr. Smith, the attorney, which was read. The following resolution was offered by Mr. Melrose: Resolved, That we accept the proposition of Thos. H. Smith Esq. in reference to his fees as attorney for this Company, with the following modifications: This Company will pay him $3,000 in cash, and give the Company's note for the payment of $7,250, to be paid when our cases are passed upon by the Supreme Court, with the understanding that if said Court affirms the decision of the lower Court in said cases, this Company will pay the said Thos. H. Smith $1,000 additional. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Scott, was thoroughly discussed and adopted by a unanimous vote. The bill of J. Brosseau Esq. for legal services in the case of the Anaheim Water Co. et als vs. Amos Wright et als, $1,000, was ordered paid. The following resolutions were offered by Mr. Haight: Be it Resolved, (first) By the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company in general meeting assembled, that the two suits now pending in the Superior Court, viz., The Anaheim Water Co. et als vs. The Semi-Tropic Water Co. et als, and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. vs. The Anaheim Water Co. et als, be vigorously prosecuted to a hearing and final decision in the Supreme Court; and that it is the sense of this meeting that we look with disfavor upon any proposition of a compromise of the questions involved in the present litigation, and that any adjustment of the issues short of a judgment by the highest tribunal of the State, will be subversive of the interests of this Company. Resolved, (second) That the attorneys of although the condition of the Angeles county is such that have not much to be thankful are no worse off than their imbors, and are infinitely better farmers of many other counties are the rule all over the northern counties, and in the San Joaquin valleys, devines (from which this county pity exempt) have made have promised to be a fair crop. the winds destroyed all hope of barley and wheat, but in blighting in its effects that make exceedingly short hay. by a gentleman in a position in the southern counties there dearth of barley for seed new views. A trip through parts of County last week revealed a condition of affairs there will be no grain raised for will be an abundance of alfalfa in no part of the county grow so luxuriantly as in the Bernardino. San Diego county, never agriculturally, will produce fills in its limited area. This is by the fact that considerable in that county during the winter other southern county, We Adolph Rimpau, who has traced county lately, that the crops very promising. As an indictment they expect there, it may be contract for furnishing the C hay at San Diego barracks w $15 50 a ton, straw at $14 a at $1 25 a central. Some of the finest looking in the county can be seen Recorder Lamb reports a net profit to the county in his office, for the month of April, of $820. A large proportion of this was upon conveyances, while there has been a notable decrease in the number of mortgages. The Southern California Fruit Packing Company of Los Angeles began the season's canning on Wednesday, starting on peas with fifteen hands. The Company will be running to its full capacity in about two weeks, with 150 hands. Mr. J. B. Pierce has been engaged by the owners of the Stearns Ranchos to assist Mr. R. J. Northam in the management of that large estate. Mr. Pierce's familiarity with and knowledge of the country make the appointment an eminently fit one. Herbert S. Dickey, one of the proprietors of the Semi-Tropic California, died in the Insane Asylum at Napa on Sunday. His insanity developed itself a couple of weeks ago, and was of a very violent type. Brooding over religious matters is said to have been the cause of his insanity. James Smith, an old fisherman of Wilmington, was found dead in his boat, his head and the upper part of his body hanging over the side and immersed in the water, on Wilmington bay on Wednesday morning. It is supposed that he was seized with vertigo while examining his fish box and fell over the side of the boat and, being unable to help himself, was drowned. Dr. George H. Bailey and family left on Monday for Leslie, Texas. That town is, if we mistake not, the old home of the Doctor, so that old-time residents of the place need no introduction to him; but those who settled there since he has been residing in California can accept our assurance that they will find in Doctor Bailey an accomplished physician and gentleman. By the time this item is read, the necessary legal papers in the case of the Anaheim Water Co. vs the Riverside Land and Irrigating Co. will have been filed. This is a mere measure of protection which the necessities of the case forced the plaintiffs to adopt, and it is to be hoped that the controversy can be settled in some way other than by protracted, ruinous and unsatisfactory lawsuits. The imports of merchandise at Anaheim depot for the week ending May 12th amounted to 136,160 pounds and the exports to 238,694 pounds. The latter was made up as follows: Wine... Ibs 112,630 Oranges, lemons and limes... " 2,810 Eggs... " 2,980 At the meeting held in the Masonic Building on last Friday evening for the purpose of organizing a Club and free reading room, about twenty-five persons were present. R. M. Barham was called to the chair and E. J. Pellegrin acted as Secretary. The object of the meeting was stated, and the various obstacles to be overcome in the organizing of such a society were pretty thoroughly discussed. The question being put, it was unanimously decided to organize a Club, to comprise a free reading room and library, a gymnasium, billiard table and such other amusements as could be procured for the use of members. On motion, the Chair appointed a committee of three, consisting of Chas. H. Zeyn (Chairman), Wm. Wolf and E. J. Pellegrin, to draft a constitution and by-laws, to report at the next meeting. A call for members was then made, and sixteen signed the roll. The meeting then adjourned to meet on Friday, the 19th inst. At the meeting last evening, the constitution and by-laws were to be voted on and permanent officers elected. During the week the list was increased to about forty members, and it was expected that many more would join at the meeting. The support, at any rate, has been sufficient, and the Club is now thoroughly organized. We will give a full report of the arrangements made next week. Those of our citizens who feel an interest in the success of this enterprise, which will be alike of benefit to the town and to the members, are requested to join the Club and aid the project as much as they can. The Reservoir Project. So many inquiries have been made of late in regard to the proposed reservoir that we pending in the Superior Court, viz., The Anaheim Water Co. et als vs. The Semi-Tropic Water Co. et als, and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. vs. The Anaheim Water Co. et als, be vigorously prosecuted to a hearing and final decision in the Supreme Court; and that it is the sense of this meeting that we look with disfavor upon any proposition of a compromise of the questions involved in the present litigation, and that any adjustment of the issues short of a judgment by the highest tribunal of the State, will be subversive of the interests of this Company. Resolved, (second) That the attorneys of this Company be instructed to immediately take all legal steps for the full enforcement of the judgment rendered in favor of this Company vs. the Semi-Tropic Water Company on the 7th of April, 1882. The resolutions being seconded by Mr. Meredith were energetically discussed, and before a vote was taken, Mr. Haight withdrew the first resolution. A vote being taken on the second resolution, it was adopted by a unanimous vote. The proposition of the Company has been accepted by Mr. Smith, and a settlement has already been made with him. The Club and Reading Room. At the meeting held in the Masonic Building on last Friday evening for the purpose of organizing a Club and free reading room, about twenty-five persons were present. R. M. Barham was called to the chair and E. J. Pellegrin acted as Secretary.

N. Land League the following officers were elected to serve for one year: President, Wm. Wallace; Vice-President, John D. Taylor; Treasurer, Tim Carroll; Secretary, John J. Bodkin; Sergeant at Arms, Wm. Kelley. On motion the following were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions in aid of the cause: Tim Carroll, John D. Taylor, John Adams, Wm. Kelley and John J. Bodkin. On motion the hour of meeting was changed to 12 o'clock, noon, on the first Sunday of each month. The desire to build new school houses or improve the old ones seems to have taken strong hold upon the people in the various districts of the county. In last week's Gazette there were four legal notices calling for an election in as many districts in this vicinity to vote a tax to build or repair school houses. It is a good idea. A comfortable, tasty school house is, or ought to be, a source of pride to the people in the district. The Anaheim school house, by long odds the most handsome structure of the kind in the county, is worth more to the place than the $10,000 expended on it. It is the first building to attract the notice of strangers, and it predisposes them in favor of the community. There is no question about that. The Reservoir Project. So many inquiries have been made of late in regard to the proposed reservoir that we deem it not unwise to semi-officially state that it has been found impossible to begin work this year as originally contemplated. There are so many details in an undertaking of such magnitude that the labor of paving the way for the commencement of work is almost as herculean a task as the work itself, and by the time all these details are perfected the year will be nearly gone and it will be too late in the season to inaugurate active proceedings. Moreover, even if everything was in readiness to proceed, it is questionable whether it would be profitable to do so this season from the fact that hay and barley are so scarce and high. A small army of teams will be required in building the dam, and it is going to make a great difference in the cost of construction if feed is cheap or clear. We will take occasion at an early day to give an outline of the manner in which it is proposed to consummate this grand and necessary work—a scheme not specially necessary for the welfare of the Anaheim Water Company, but essential to the growth and prosperity of the contiguous country. When the reservoir is built, it must be with the substantial assistance of those who will be the most benefited by it. Decoration Day. Sedgwick Post G. A. R. have invited the various civic and fraternal societies of Anaheim to join with them in the ceremonies of Decoration Day—May 30th. The ceremonies will take place in Santa Ana in the forenoon and at Anaheim in the afternoon. The order of exercises will be published next week. Means Leonard, Ey and Gardemeyer have been appointed a committee to solicit donations of flowers, and those who desire to contribute floral decorations will please leave them at the Planters’ Hotel on the morning of the 30th. Occasions during this session saved from damage by smelting just before sunrise—the time generally does its malevolence during Friday night his mates the smoking attended to, proved fatal. The higher hillside vineyard caped, and all is well aware is true of the vineyard the Sonoma road. J. W., yard, lying in these hillsides shoots on a single vine tree and this vine, strange to one of the highest points placed 300 acres of new vineyards lying in the lower swales, caped injury entirely. In Napa county a large vineyard were entirely shot looking black and Mr. Groezinger sustained no damage. Reports from Sonoma and the mischief there was widespread, but we have as yet no vineyards were all grown sentenced a very luxuriant week. AGRICULTURAL Shasta weather is cloudy with indications of a rainy night there was a heavy eight miles from Shasta grapes and some other fruit at Trinity Centre, Trinity fruit at that place, and the frost was general throughout. The Colusa Sun reads lusa county a lesson, and that if they had a few acres laid out in fruit trees would not be so bad off crop is a failure. A gentleman having a mile of Sacramento, the trees of which last year will this year not realize them. He says that bearing quality of evergreen has been negatived for the northern, and the trees swept through the orchard. The frost of the past fled among the vines and fronds and vineyards around Vina county. J. W. Jarvis vines and half an acre killed; J. F. Lewis, H Emerson and others are Martin had all his vinescept apples. THE CROPS. The Prospect Here and Elsewhere—High Prices Expected. Although the condition of the crops in Los Angeles county is such that the farmers have not much to be thankful for, yet they are no worse off than their immediate neighbors, and are infinitely better off than the farmers of many other counties. Short crops are the rule all over the State. In the northern counties, and in the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, devastating north winds (from which this county has been happily exempt) have made havoc with what promised to be a fair crop. Not only has the winds destroyed all hope of a good yield of barley and wheat, but it has been so blighting in its effects that the fields will make exceedingly short hay. We are told by a gentleman in a position to know that in the southern counties there would be a dearth of barley for seed next season, and our own observations tend to confirm his views. A trip through parts of San Bernardino county last week revealed about the same condition of affairs there as here. There will be no grain raised for export. There will be an abundance of alfalfa hay. Probably in no part of the county does alfalfa grow so luxurantly as in the soil of San Bernardino. San Diego county, never a heavy weight agriculturally, will produce fair crops within its limited area. This is accounted for by the fact that considerable more rain fell in that county during the winter than in any other southern county. We learn from Mr. Adolph Rimpau, who has traveled over the county lately, that the crops* in spots look very promising. As an indication of what they expect there, it may be said that the contract for furnishing the Government with hay at San Diego barracks was awarded at $15 50 a ton, straw at $14 a ton and barley at $1 25 a cental. Some of the finest looking fields of grain in the county can be seen on the irrigated one. An Unsavory Mess. The attempt to suppress the establishment of Mrs. Brown bids fair to be successful. Aside from its evil reputation and corrupting influences, its disorderly character has been of late so flagrant that the authorities determined to do all in their power to suppress it. The arrest of the woman who kept the house was noted last week. She was arrested a second time on another complaint. Her counsel, Haley & King of Los Angeles, took a change of venue to Justice Gannon's Court, and the case was to be tried on Wednesday, but owing to the absence of witnesses the trial was postponed until this Saturday morning. On last Saturday two of the inmates of the house were arrested by Marshal Tyler, and in default of bail they were locked in jail. In the Marshal's absence, some of the women's male companions broke the padlock on the jail door and released them, but they were recaptured by the Marshal and returned to the cell. They were subsequently released on promising to leave the town, a promise they kept; and now the place that knew them once will know them no more forever — perhaps. A Walking Match. A six hours go-as-yon-please walking match will take place at Kroeger's Hall on the evening of Decoration Day. The race is free to all, entrance $5, the winner to get gate money and a purse, the amount to be announced hereafter. Entries to be made with Mr. P. D. Gardemeyer. This gentleman has an Anaheim man whom he will match against any runner in Anaheim or Santa Ana for any gum. The race promises to be an exciting one, and its novelty will attract a great crowd. There are already five entries for the race, and as there will be first, second and third prizes, there will probably be many more contestants. Picnic. There will be a picnic at the Santiago canyon on May 28th, under the management of the indefatigable Gardemeyer. Dancing, LUMBER YARD PLANING, SAWING, AND MOULDING MILLS. or A. Guy Smith & Co.

This is accounted for by the fact that considerable more rain fell in that county during the winter than in any other southern county. We learn from Mr. Adolph Rimpan, who has traveled over the county lately, that the crops in spots look very promising. As an indication of what they expect there, it may be said that the contract for furnishing the Government with hay at San Diego barracks was awarded at $15 50 a ton, straw at $14 a ton and barley at $1 25 a cental. Some of the finest looking fields of grain in the county can be seen on the irrigated lands about Anaheim. If, as is claimed, one irrigation is equal, on stiff soil, to eight inches of rain, then these irrigated lands have had moisture equal to 15 inches—enough in this county to mature a full crop. Never before has the benefits of irrigation been so apparent, and the experience of this season will undoubtedly lead to a more general use of winter irrigation next year. THE FRUIT CROP. In marked contrast with the condition of the grain crop is the fruit prospect. The vines, and all kinds of trees, are loaded with blossoms, and aside from the worms which are preying upon some of the vineyards in parts of the county, there has as yet been no drawback to the fruit crop in this county. The worms of which we speak seem to attack young vineyards particularly. None of the vineyards of Anaheim are infested with them, and the vines here are as free from insects as could be wished. The tranquility and peace of mind which follows such a satisfactory state of affairs is not enjoyed to any great extent by the fruit growers of Napa, Sonoma and contiguous counties. The very rare and unpleasant experience of a May frost has upset their calculations. It was particularly damaging this year from the fact that a large area of new vineyards had been planted, and the frost came at the most critical period of their growth. The story is best told by a correspondent of the Bulletin: NAPA, May 15th. — The frost of Friday night last played sad havoc with the vineyards in Napa Valley, from Rutherford down. Mr. Crabb lost a considerable portion of his crop in the portion of his vineyard lying near the railroad. Mr. Grossman is a sufferer to the extent of many hundred tons of promised grapes. Mr. Estee's hundred-acre vineyard is entirely gone, and where he reasonably expected to receive from $10,000 to $12,000, he says he would take $500 for this year's probable yield. His case was peculiarly unfortunate. On several previous occasions during this season his crop was saved from damage by smoking the vineyard just before sunrise—the time when the frost generally does its malevolent work. But during Friday night his men failed to have the smoking attended to, and the error has proved fatal. The higher hillside vineyards generally escaped, and all is well at St. Helena. The same is true of the vineyards in the hills on the Sonoma road. J.W. Simonton's vineyard, lying in these hills, shows only three shoots on a single vine tainted by the frost, and this vine, strange to say, grows on one of the highest points planted. His nearly 300 acres of new vineyards, part of them lying in the lower swales, seem to have escaped injury entirely. Picnic. There will be a picnic at the Santiago canyon on May 28th, under the management of the indefatigable Gardemeyer. Dancing, baseball, shooting and all kinds of games will be provided for the amusement of guests. There will also be some exciting foot races between noted local runners. Roof Painting. Winbigler & Bro., late of Memphis, Tenn., have introduced into this county a fire and water proof cement paint for painting roofs which is proving itself to be very much more economical and durable than the ordinary paint. Among the large property-owners of Los Angeles who are prepared to speak in favor of this paint are ex-Governor Downey, Naud, Weyse & Co., John Jones, W.H. Stoll and Moso & Co. The Messrs. Winbigler are at the Planters' Hotel during the week, and will give all information regarding the paint. Their P.O. address is Box 1187, Los Angeles. Wells, Fargo & Co. There are packages in Wells, Fargo & Co office for the following persons. W A Morrison Mrs Kate Hare BORN. In Los Angeles, May 14th, to the wife of Geo. A. Vignolo, a son; weight, 9 pounds.

THIS POPULAR HOTEL ESTABLISHED IN 1868, has just been thoroughly renovated throughout, and in much condition as to secure for guests the occasions during this season his crop was saved from damage by smoking the vineyard just before sunrise—the time when the frost generally does its malevolent work. But during Friday night his men failed to have the smoking attended to, and the error has proved fatal. The higher hillside vineyards generally escaped, and all is well at St. Helena. The same is true of the vineyards in the hills on the Sonoma road. J. W. Simonton's vineyard, lying in these hills, shows only three shoots on a single vine tainted by the frost, and this vine, strange to say, grows on one of the highest points planted. His nearly 300 acres of new vineyards, part of them lying in the lower swales, seem to have escaped injury entirely. In Napa county a large number of small vineyards were entirely cut off, the young shoots looking black and dismal enough. Mr. Groezinger sustained comparatively little damage. Reports from Sonoma are to the effect that the mischief there was widespread and ruinous, but we have as yet no particulars. The vineyards were all growing finely, and presented a very luxuriant appearance last week. AGRICULTURAL NOTES. Shasta weather is cloudy, cold and windy, with indications of a rain storm. Friday night there was a heavy frost at Centreville, eight miles from Shasta, which killed the grapes and some other fruit. A heavy frost at Trinity Centre, Trinity county, killed all the fruit at that place, and reports are that the frost was general throughout Trinity county. The Colusa Sun reads the farmers of Colusa county a lesson, and points out to them that if they had a few acres of their ranches laid out in fruit trees and vineyards they would not be so bad off now that the wheat crop is a failure. A gentleman having an orchard within one mile of Sacramento, the Winter Nellis pear trees of which last year netted him $1,000, will this year not realize a single dollar from them. He says that while not killed, the bearing quality of every tree of that kind has been negatived for this year by the late northerer, and the trees look as if a fire had swept through the orchard. The frost of the past few days raised havoc among the vines and fruit in the orchards and vineyards around Vine Hill, Santa Cruz county. J. W. Jarvis had 3,060 young vines and half an acre of growing grapes killed; J. F. Lewis, H. Mel, Waterman, Emerson and others are sufferers. C. C. Martin had all his vines and fruit killed, except apples. Hutchinson & Mann agency, has been authorized to issue policies direct, without referring the applications to the home office.
