WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY... AUGUST 12, 1882 Congress adjourned for the session on Tuesday. If the Senators and Representatives individually feel as relieved as does the country generally, they must be in a very contented state of mind. An up-country editor has been asked to be a candidate for Congress, but his reply was, "The Presidency or nothing." It is believed a compromise will be effected by electing him to the office of constable. The Republicans of Virginia have nominated Daniel J. Woodbine for Congress. If he is elected the phrase "Gone where the woodbine twineth" will be susceptible of a more pleasant interpretation than before. It takes lots of coin to "run" the Government. Two years ago the total appropriations for the General Government were $190,000,000. Last year they ran up to $216,694,388, and this year they have been swelled up to the sum of $293,555,489. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has apportioned State School money to the amount of $334,059 among the various counties. Los Angeles county, with 11,625 children, gets $18,018.75. There are 215,522 children between 5 and 17 years of age in the State, and the amount apportioned per child is $1.55. Non-cultivation of vineyards is recommended as the best cure for phylloxera. The theory is that cultivation destroys insects which prey upon the phylloxera, and thus the latter have it all their own way. This new specific will be hailed with enthusiasm by lazy vineyard-owners. THE STATE ENGINEER AND THE SUBMERGED DAM. EDITOR GAZETTE:—In the issue of your paper of July 22d you published an article under the above heading, which contains some misstatements, and which permit me to correct. You say that application was made to me by the Ananeim Water Company and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company for information obtained by my examination of the bed of the Santa Ana river at the Bedrock canyon, and that this information was refused. No record exists in this office of the receipt of any such application or of its refusal; and I am satisfied it was never received. Since the publication of your article I learn by correspondence with a gentleman in your town, in whom I know you have every confidence, that a letter was written to me "long" ago by Mr. Henri F. Gardiner, Secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, asking for the information spoken of, but that no answer was ever received. I am quite certain that no such letter received by me has ever gone unanswered, and equally sure that this one never came to hand. It is a fact, however, that similar requests have not been complied with, but the refusal has always been accompanied with an explanation of the grounds upon which such noncompliance was based, and, with two exceptions, these explanations have. I believe, been received as sufficient and valid reason for withholding the data. I believe they would have been sufficient to your companies had I ever had the opportunity of replying to their request. In explanation of this whole matter I send you several copies of a printed correspondence between the Governor and myself on the subject, and, calling your attention to the Governor's answer, I respectfully say that if his rulings are complied with by any one who desires information, it can be had on application by your Board of Supervisors for the use of all your people. I only regret that the law has not placed me in a position to finish and publish my work promptly, and thus make it useful and popular. Respectfully yours, WM. HAM. HALL, State Engineer, Sacramento, August 31, 1882. The printed correspondence referred to in the above letter is in pamphlet form, and is entitled "The Irrigation Investigation by the State Engineering Department—Correspondence concerning the publication of its Murmurs from Analysis." Ed. Gazette:—The sad we read so much about, and down here.

The fact is, one thinks but eating and bathing side. And, speaking of beautiful delightful here. Non-cultivation of vineyards is recommended as the best cure for phylloxera. The theory is that cultivation destroys insects which prey upon the phylloxera, and thus the latter have it all their own way. This new specific will be laided with enthusiasm by lazy vineyard owners. The war in Egypt has been carefully studied by the World's Crisis, the organ of the Adventists of America. It admits the difficulty of interpreting prophecy by military movements, but believes the saints ought to watch the course of events with Bible in hand. It is quite sure that the European Conference is "another united effort of the Revelator's four angels to hold the four winds." Among the candidates for the Republican Congressional nomination in this (Fourth) district are Ex Governor Woods and S. O. Houghton. The latter will be remembered as a representative of this district in Congress for several terms, and although his record is not faultless, he would doubtless make a better "run" than Woods, whose bloody-shirt speeches in former campaigns were of a nature calculated to alienate conservative voters. When Philip Reich, an old citizen of Frederick, Md., entered the Senate chamber, the other day, after an absence of seventy years from Washington, the business before the Senate was a bill for the relief of the heirs of R. K. Meade. Mr. Reich at once exclaimed: "Why, that's the bill they were considering when I was here in 1812!" Examination of the record proved that the old gentleman was correct. Mr. Meade sustained some losses while Minister to Spain, and the bill provides for their payment. It is about time that Ben Butler came to the front again, and the rumor that he will be a candidate for Governor of Massachusetts seems very probable. The story is that before he sailed for Europe he proposed to the Democratic managers that the Democratic State Convention should follow the Independent Republican Convention, and that if he should be nominated for Governor by the Independents, that this nomination should be ratified by the Democrats, who cast 110,000 votes for him in his last campaign. The Democratic situation is that Gen. Butler can have the party nomination, if he will take it straight, but there will likely be opposition made to any proposition for ratifying the work of another party. Some queer complications grow out of the marriage of the Duke of Westminster. The printed correspondence referred to in the above letter is in pamphlet form, and is entitled "The Irrigation Investigation by the State Engineering Department—Correspondence concerning the publication of its results." In a letter to Governor Perkins, Mr. Hall, after quoting from the law under which the Engineering Department is working, says that he has had numerous applications for data concerning the work of the department in different localities, and that although the requests for information were generally accompanied by an offer to pay the expense of transcribing the data required, he could find no way in which he could lawfully grant the requests, notwithstanding he believed that the public dissemination of this data would be of benefit to the State. He says further: "The details of the work, which are the data specially required in most applications thus far made, cannot all be embodied in any report which I can prepare with the means at command. They should be available for those who can use them, in all reason and justice, considering the amount of money expended by the State in other quarters, and it is my desire to make them so. Hence, if by any means, the desire of the people of the irrigation counties, where our work has extended, to have its detail results at their disposal, can favorably motive, I hope that it may be done." In his reply, the Governor commends the position taken in this matter by Mr. Hall, and agrees with him that the information gathered by the Department should be made available for public use as speedily as possible. He suggests that "if any considerable interest in any county desired a tracing of some detail, map, or copy of some notes to be at hand for their reference, it would be an easy matter to have these data called for by the Board of Supervisors; and that, on such application, you would be justified in permitting tracings and copies to be made for publication, as it were, by posting or filing in the custody of an official of the county. Of course, persons most interested would have to provide for the cost of copies, and the applications should be made by the county officials. This would, in fact, be a publication, and the most expensive that could be provided, I suppose." It appears, therefore, that if the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company still desire to be put in possession of the result of the borings at Bed Rock Crossing, they can readily obtain it through our Board of Supervisors. Our criticism upon the State Engineer was based entirely upon a misunderstanding, one who desires information, it can be had on application by your Board of Supervisors for the use of all your people. I only regret that the law has not placed me in a position to finish and publish my work promptly, and thus make it useful and popular. Respectfully yours, Wm. Ham. Hall, State Engineer.

The Democratic situation is that Gen.

Some queer complications grow out of the marriage of the Duke of Westminster. The Duke's daughter Beatrice was married to the eldest son of the late Lord Chesham, who has since succeeded to the title, and has borne him a son and heir. Now the Duke himself has married Katherine Caroline, Lord Chesham's sister. The Chesham boy, born in 1878, is the nephew of his now grandmother, who is his father's sister; consequently his grandfather is his uncle. From this it follows that his father, being his uncle's son, is his cousin, as is also his mother. But it must be remembered that, since his father and his mother are both his cousins, he is his own second cousin. Again, his father, being his grandmother's brother, is his great-uncle, and his mother is his great-aunt. Chicago, August 8th.—At 10 o'clock tonight, in front of 268 Wentworth avenue, Deitrich Peterson; a cigar maker, fatally shot his former sweetheart, Frida Kuckmer, wounded her companion, Frances Maus, then blew out his own brains. The cause of the tragedy was that the girl had cast him off. His first shot hit Miss Maus by accident. Washington, August 8th.—A United States officer at Colon reports the population of 6000 as dying at the rate of 100 a month. The natives as well as the unacclimated are attacked by the fever. Of a total of 650 Chilean soldiers in the garrison at Checlaco, Peru, 300 have died from yellow fever. Ottawa, Ill., August 5.—A private dispatch from Florida announces that W. D. Neff and wife, who had started an orange grove 140 miles from Jacksonville, were murdered and then the robbers burned the bodies. "terested would have to provide for the cost of copies, and the applications should be made by the county officials. This would, in fact, be a publication, and the most expensive that could be provided, I suppose." It appears, therefore, that if the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company still desire to be put in possession of the borings at Bed Rock Crossing, they can readily obtain it through our Board of Supervisors. Our criticism upon the State Engineer was based entirely upon a misunderstanding, and his prompt response to our complaint shows that he is alive to the public interest and realizes fully the responsibilities of his position. Our surmise, that the elaborate treatise on irrigation, written by Surveyor-General James W. Shanklin, was designed to influence legislation this coming winter, is substantiated by the fact that the articles have been published in handbill form for general circulation. The Gazette last week quoted enough from these letters to show that the position taken by Mr. Shanklin in regard to water rights was most communistic, and, therefore, unjust. "There can be no vested rights," he says, "in an element that by nature is as free as the air which we breathe." In the quotation published last week, wherein Mr. Shanklin contrasts the views of the State Engineer with his own, the latter official claims that his position is, unintentionally no doubt, misstated. He says that in his investigations he has found hundreds of claims to water existing without intelligible record to their extent, nature or foundation. He therefore advises the Legislature to take steps to define the status of these water claims, as preliminary to the State taking control of the waters of natural streams. He carefully refrained in his report from giving any opinion on the legality of any of these claims, but simply urged the State to exercise what authority she has to effect a settlement of conflicting interests; while Mr. Shanklin has written an opinion to the point that the State has complete control over the water and can do as she sees fit by legislative enactment in the premises. The boiler of the steamer Gold Dust, plying on the Mississippi, exploded, killing thirteen persons, badly injuring twelve, and seventeen are missing. The bathing ground. So come altogether too near; the skipper knew his own nothing, but watched a few off from her for the shifter two men who, shortly after breakers, were treated to by one of the aforementioned that filled the skiff. They had come for a day creek quite a distance away and returned with it and praised the schooner. Meanwhile and the schooner swung as she swung those on selves getting nearer breakers. At first they positioned—then, when their trantic efforts to escape forcesail with the effect of closer inshore. The lift drag, and right in broad shining brightly and quiet sea, we were treated wreck. One of the young men led the crew to bring as skipper and her four kindly provided for at til a wagon came to take ton. The vessel was hours, and then Captain untecer crew went aboard her into the bay. This that afternoon, but suc tide. The schooner is it will be a costly job again.

Their never-ceasing roar is suggestive of one continued cachinnation, and the frothy breakers seem to continually tempt one to bask in their cooling embrace. I am not generally very sentimental, but there is something or other about the seashore which makes the most practical woman forget for the nonce the wash-tub and the kitchen and drives her to the companionship of Shakespeare, Byron and other literary fellers. You have doubtly noticed the very picturesque way in which letters from the seashore are written—how much is said of "billowy breasts," "bounding waters," "pebbly shores" and so on. I have very often given expression to impatience when reading such scrieds, but I will be more charitable hereafter, for I find I have commenced this letter in the orthodox way. As I was saying, there is more merriment than sadness down here. Everybody is having a real splendid time, and are enjoying themselves with an abandon that is really too delightful for anything. The faces of the ladies are unromantically bronzed and healthy looking, and with rare good sense they seem to have left their Bloom of Youth and Complexion Cream at home, content to fight tan after the season is over. And the way the gentle gazelles eat is a caution! You see, being one of the fair sex myself, I can speak with authority, from being an eye-witness to surreptitious campaigns against the larder. I will let you into one secret:—Whenever you see a girl at the dinner table here trifle with a piece of toast, languidly sip a thimbleful of coffee and dawdle over a piece of cake, you can bet all you are worth that in the privacy of her room or tent ten minutes afterwards she is devouring pickles by the bottle, baked beans by the quart and roast beef by the pound. The fact is, one thinks little of aught else but eating and bathing, when at the seaside. And, speaking of bathing, it is perfectly delightful here. There is absolutely Political News. Atlanta, Ga., August 9.—In a speech at Worth yesterday, Governor Colquit, candidate for the U.S. Senate, planted himself squarely upon the platform of temperance and against the manufacture of whisky in Georgia. New York, August 9.—Nearly all the morning journals, including the Star (Kelly's organ), unite in the belief that the proceedings of the Democratic State Committee at Saratoga yesterday indicate a movement in favor of Tilden. Bloomington, Ill., August 9.—The State Prohibition Convention met this morning, C. C. Campbell elected Chairman. The usual committees were appointed except on nominations. Indianapolis, August 9.—The Republican State Convention have elected R. W. Thompson, Chairman. The platform was then adopted, which recalls the services of the Republican party, their liberal pension laws, financial success, its services to labor, capital and to aliens. It demands that the pending constitutional amendments be submitted by the next Legislature to the voters; that they are not partisan amendments; and there should be a special election for them. A warm tribute is paid to Lincoln and Garfield. St. Louis, August 8.—Chauncey I. Filley is opposed to the Republicans of Missouri putting a ticket in the field, and has issued a pamphlet recommending a coalition with the Greenbackers. Selma, Ala., August 8.—Specials from fifty counties show that the election has gone Democratic by a large majority, though much reduced from that of 1880. A light vote was polled. There will probably be at least twenty Independents in the Assembly. Boston, August 9.—The Prohibitionists met in State convention to-day. Thirty-nine cities and towns were represented by 155 delegates. Charles Almey, of New Bedford, was nominated for Governor by acclamation. John Blackman was nominated for Secretary of State. Solomon F. Root Treasurer and Receiver; Lieutenant Governor, New York, August 7.—It has been learned by Government officials that a secret organization of 1,200 men has been formed in Arizona, who are bound by oath, in case any more raids are made and murders committed by Apaches, to enter the reservation and slaughter men, women and children. Governor Tritle, appreciating the gravity of the situation, has had orders issued for troops to be removed from the fixed posts to the passes usually traveled by Indians after leaving the reservation, so as to head off any hostile bands. Heretofore it has been customary for Government officers to grant permits to leave the reservation on passes for the alleged purpose of hunting. It is said that most of the murders committed in Arizona, have been by Indians bearing these passes. Through the efforts of Governor Tritle, the issuing of such passes has been revoked for a period of six months. The numerous murders of the settlers in Arizona are charged to corruption and bad management on the part of Government officers. It is said that Indians are hired for six months, ostensibly as scouts. They are thoroughly drilled by Government officers in the use of arms, and at the end of six months they are discharged and other Indians employed in their places. After being discharged they are well fitted to do incalculable mischief in plundering and murdering settlers, and through the dishonesty of Government agents and settlers they are abundantly supplied with the means of active warfare. The cartridges used by these marauding Indians have been found to bear the initials "U. S." No cartridges have these letters except those furnished by the Government to its subordinates. The large number of such cartridges in possession of the Indians is accounted for by the fact that the agents claim to use cartridges for the slaughtering of animals far in excess of the number that can possibly be needed for such purpose. It is also charged that the number alleged to be used in target practice is greater than is used in any service in the world. Governor Tritle is very active in quieting the disorders existing in Arizona Territory, and will have the earnest support of the Government in breaking up the abuses. Tucson, A. T., August 10.—The Star will publish to-morrow an interview with Judge Woods, just in from the San Pedro valley, who brings the news that El Zimmenskin, a native Indian chief, is making preparations for war. He has assembled about him some forty or fifty bucks, renegades from San Carlos, all heavily armed, and who act in a threatening manner. The settlers are greatly campaigns against the larder. I will let you into one secret: Whenever you see a girl at the dinner table here trifle with a piece of toast, languidly sip a thimbleful of coffee and dawdle over a piece of cake, you can bet all you are worth that in the privacy of her room or tent ten minutes afterwards she is devouring pickles by the bottle, baked beans by the quart and roast beef by the pound. The fact is, one thinks little of anght else but eating and bathing, when at the sea-side. And, speaking of bathing, it is perfectly delightful here. There is absolutely no element of danger. In the surf there is no undertow, and the breakers are very seldom rough, while in the bay the channel is well defined, so that non-swimmers can disport themselves in water not too deep for safety. I have been at several bathing places in these southern counties, and notwithstanding I entertained an unexplainable prejudice against the Landing, when I first came here, I am candid enough to acknowledge that this place is the "boss"—as you horrid men would say. Nay, I also know that there are very few summer resorts at the East where the bathing grounds are as good as at Anahiem Landing. My intention when I began this letter was to tell you of the "goings on" here, but I find that I have been led into a disquisition upon other matters; and I know, my own dear Editor [this alarmingly affectionate language is printed under protest.]—Ed.] that I must conline my screed within bounds. I will therefore content myself with saying that if one comes here expecting to suffer from enna, he or she will be agreeably disappointed. There is no lack of things to amuse. Very fortunately, one of your accommodating Anaheim gentlemen has his violin here, and there is often a sound of revelry after the shadows of night spread like a curtain ever mother earth. There was quite a pretentious dance here last Wednesday evening, at which probably fifty people attended. And then there are candy-pullings, drives on the beach, and all the innumerable devices to wile away time. Verily I say unto you, that life is a pleasant dream here and the days pass all too quickly. Nor are we without more exciting events. Early Wednesday morning the cry of "sail ho!" brought the larger portion of the campers to the beach in time to see the Barbara Allen of Wilmington come to anchor just off the bathing ground. Some thought she had come altogether too near, but they supposed the skipper knew his own business and said nothing, but watched a small boat that put off from her for the shore. This contained two men who, shortly after entering the breakers, were treated to an impromptu bath by one of the aforementioned sad sea waves that filled the skiff. They had come for a dory that was up the creek quite a distance and three hours after returned with it and prepared to put off to the schooner. Meanwhile the wind shifted and the schooner swung round inshore, and as she swung those on board found them. SELMA, Ala., August 8.—Specials from fifty counties show that the election has gone Democratic by a large majority, though much reduced from that of 1880. A light vote was polled. There will probably be at least twenty Independents in the Assembly. Boston, August 9.—The Prohibitionists met in State convention to-day. Thirty-nine cities and towns were represented by 155 delegates. Charles Almey, of New Bedford, was nominated for Governor by acclamation. John Blackman was nominated for Secretary of State. Solomon F. Root Treasurer and Receiver; Lieutenant-Governor, General F. L. Lathop; Auditor, Jonathan Buck; Attorney-General, J. Farechild. The usual prohibitory resolutions were adopted also congratulations to Kansas and Iowa, where a victory has been scored, and expressing sympathy with other States where the struggle is still going on. St. Louis, August 8th.—The National Greenback Central Committee of this city has telegraphed the United States Senate, protesting against the confirmation of Dillon of St. Louis as Secretary of the Legation to Mexico. The reason assigned for it is the indorsement, by Dillon, when he edited the *Evening Post* of this city, of a speech made by Vest, now United States Senator, in which he denounced universal suffrage. TOUKON, A. T., August 10.—The Star will publish to-morrow an interview with Judge Woods, just in from the San Pedro valley, who brings the news that El Zimmenskin, a native Indian chief, is making preparations for war. He has assembled about him some forty or fifty bucks, renegades from San Carlos, all heavily armed, and who act in a threatening manner. The settlers are greatly alarmed, but have made preparations against surprise. El Zimmenskin has for several years been at peace with the whites, but is noted as one of the most treacherous and vindictive Indians in the Territory. LOS ANGELES MARKETS.

Some thought she had come altogether too near, but they supposed the skipper knew his own business and said nothing, but watched a small boat that put off from her for the shore. This contained two men who, shortly after entering the breakers, were treated to an impromptu bath by one of the aforementioned sad sea waves that filled the skiff. They had come for a dory that was up the creek quite a distance and three hours after returned with it and prepared to put off to the schooner. Meanwhile the wind shifted and the schooner swung round inshore, and as she swung those on board found themselves getting nearer and nearer to the breakers. At first they hardly realized their position—then, when too late, they made tratic efforts to escape, and hoisted jib and foresail with the effect of working her still closer inshore. The light anchor began to drag, and right in broad daylight, with sun shining brightly and in a comparatively quiet sea, we were treated to a genuine ship wreck. One of the young men waded off and aid-ed the crew to bring ashore the wife of the skipper and her four children, who were kindly provided for at the nearest tent until a wagon came to take them to Wilmington. The vessel was abandoned for some hours, and then Captain Wilson and a volunteer crew went aboard and tried to get her into the bay. This they failed to do that afternoon, but succeeded the next high tide. The schooner is badly damaged and it will be a costly job to put her in trim again. I send you a census of the campers here.

This ordinance forbade the opening of laundries within certain limits except on request of twelve or more property owners in the neighborhood, and applied only to San Francisco. Mrs. Hall was thrown from a buggy and killed last Friday while being driven from Vallejo to Benicia by W. B. King, a livery-stable keeper. The coroner's jury has brought in a verdict finding "W. B. King guilty of gross carelessness in driving while intoxicated." In San Francisco on Wednesday evening John McAdoo called at the house of James Hamilton, and summoning the latter to the door, drew a pistol and shot him. The ball took effect in Hamilton's groin. The wound is considered dangerous. The difficulty between the men is of some months standing. McAdoo is in custody. The trial of Mrs. Dr. Patterson, which has been an absorbing topic of local attention in San Diego for the past week, closed Tuesday with a verdict of guilty of obtaining money under false pretences. The Doctress pretended to remove tumors from her lady patients, but the tumors were proved to be chicken kidneys, liver and such stuff. WESTMINSTER ITEMS. Your correspondent T. has gone for a rest after his poetical effort of last week and has requested me to write the items during his absence. Our schools commenced last Monday with a good attendance in both rooms. Wayman's thresher is to commence work here next Monday and will give employment to most of the loose hands. Mr. A. L. Taylor has purchased J. J. McCoy's well tools and will be glad to furnish water for dry Anaheimers. He has also sold out his interest in the dryer and place. Mr. Strong has concluded to have his crop of late peaches dried and has made arrangements with J. J. McCoy to dry them on shares. The Holiness camp meeting near Santa Ana seems to have quite an attraction for the young people here. Prof. Max Enderlein, a music teacher of San Francisco, died in Ventura county on Wednesday, while deer hunting. Fatigue and heat are supposed to have been the cause of his death. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

CALL AND SECURE POSITIVE BARGAINS. THE GREAT STORM Of January 12th, 1832, 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 sale. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far as known every one of the California Mills put up by the undersigned 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 (4 different lengths) in the case and noblesseesness of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the marvelously low prices at which it is sold. I will furnish those Mills with Pumps and Tanks, and set them up in complete running order at the lowest possible rates. For further particulars call upon or address S. B.
