WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...DEC. 2, 1892 ADVANCING, NOT RETROGRADING. Values in California, according to the tax levy, have fallen off $51,000,000 since the assessment of last year. More than $20,000,000 of the deficiency is settled against the city of San Francisco. This shows a retrograde movement of the most remarkable kind for a State so boastful of its prosperity as California has ever been. The above paragraph, taken from some Eastern paper, was received by Mr. Hinde from a friend who contemplates removal to this State, and who would like to have it explained, and Mr. H. has referred the matter to the Gazette. This same subject was discussed in these columns some months ago, and it may be well to briefly refer to it again. It should be borne in mind that the Assessor's annual returns are not to be taken as a gauge of the prosperity or otherwise of a State, county, district or town. Assessors value property without any fixed rule, and their work as a general thing is full of glaring inequalities. There are probably not two county assessors in the State who work in harmony, and the result of this independence of action is quite manifest. It was to correct this evil that a State Board of Equalization was created by the new Constitution; but when that body undertook to equalize individual assessments, the Courts stopped them, and declared it had no such power. Then again, the reduction of the valuation of the railroads from $16,500 a mile to $10,500 a mile, accounts in great part for the deficiency this year. But it has been found that the greatest falling off has been in personal property. That is a kind of property which the Constitution sought especially to tax, and the first two assessments made under the adoption of the Constitution were swelled by the addition of personal property which had not previously been listed. But now so many ways have been found to evade the law on this point, that the personal property roll cases with vigor and rigor, so that the innocent should be acquitted if clearly innocent, and the guilty punished if clearly guilty; and that there must be no half-hearted sentiment in the purpose of the Government and its officers in this prosecution." How well these instructions were carried out, the people know. The prosecution was carried on vigorously, without interference on the part of the executive. The jury disagreed, and the case comes up again for trial next week. But a short time ago, President Arthur had his attention officially drawn to certain matters by Bliss, one of the Government counsel. Bliss alleged that the Marshal of the District was a friend of the defendants, and had helped to defeat the prosecution; that D. B. Ainger, the postmaster of Washington, was indirectly implicated in star route crookedness, and as proprietor of a paper in Michigan, he had published over his own signature articles denouncing the prosecution; that Helm, an official in the office of the Public Printer, was the proprietor of the Critic, a Washington paper which had published grossly abusive articles directed against the prosecution; that George E. Spencer, a Government Director of the Pacific Railroad, whose testimony was wanted by the prosecution, had regreted himself so that no subpoena could be served upon him; and that several Government detectives were notorious in the pay of the defendants. These charges having been referred to Attorney-General Brewster, and confirmed by him, President Arthur on last Saturday directed the removal of every one of the officials named by Bliss. This is a brave action, and all the more worthy of commendation because there can be no question that it was taken in the teeth of the most powerful influences. THE PRODUCTS OF ANAHEIM. Nature has been very lavish in her gifts towards Anaheim. A soil as rich and fertile as any in the world, a climate which for equability and mildness is unsurpassed, a location convenient to all the great marts of the coast—what better combination of ad- the reduction of the valuation of the railroads from $16,500 a mile to $10,500 a mile, accounts in great part for the deficiency this year. But it has been found that the greatest falling off has been in personal property. That is a kind of property which the Constitution sought especially to tax, and the first two assessments made under the adoption of the Constitution were swelled by the addition of personal property which had not previously been listed. But now so many ways have been found to evade the law on this point, that the personal property roll has about dropped to where it was previous to the adoption of the present Constitution. The falling off of values in San Francisco is laid principally to this; and the collapse of the stock market has contributed to swell the deficiency. Of San Francisco it may be said that since the pricking of the stock bubble there is less false and more real prosperity. A prosperity having for its foundation and support a widespread and popular mania for stock gambling is not a condition of things which should allure any level-headed man, or cause a single regret that it has collapsed. There has been a falling off, too, in values in the mining counties, and the contiguous agricultural counties, consequent upon the agitation of the debris question. The mines were not so valuable as formerly because of the uncertainty which will hereafter attend their working, by reason of the fight made by the valley men; and the counties where agricultural lands have been submerged or destroyed by slickens do not of course come up to former valuations. To recapitulate: the decrease in valuation this year is owing to 1st, lack of harmony among assessors; 2d, reduction of railroad assessments; 3d, shrinkage and evasion of personal property; 4th, collapse of the stock market; 5th, the debris question. But as to Los Angeles county, the Assessor's books show that in 1881 the assessed value of property in the county was $20,-203,791, with the railroad assessed at $16,-500 a mile; but this year the assessed value of property is $20,916,835, with the railroad assessed at $10,500 a mile. That sufficiently indicates substantial progress. Let no one hesitate about coming to California because of a falling off of $51,000,000 in the assessed valuation of property. There is tenfold more real prosperity in this State now than when the assessment roll contained more figures. If any further argument is needed to show that the briskness and apparent prosperity then was false, and that it is now real and solid, it may be found in the fact that the State tax levy in 1881 was 65.5 cents, and in 1882 (despite the deficiency of $51,000,000) the levy is only 59.6 cents. In Los Angeles county the tax levy in 1881 was $1.50 on the $100; this year it is $1.40—which, of course, includes the State levy. ARTHUR AND GRANT CONTRASTED. When President Grant sententiously said, Nature has been very lavish in her gifts towards Anaheim. A soil as rich and fertile as any in the world, a climate which for equability and mildness is unsurpassed, a location convenient to all the great marts of the coast—what better combination of advantage could be asked for? The productions of Anaheim township are probably more varied than those of any other township on the coast. Let us enumerate some of the products of the soil which have been exported from Anaheim: Fruits—oranges, lemons, limes, grapes, apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, loquats, figs, walnuts, peanuts, strawberries, melons. Cereals—wheat, barley, rye, corn, flax. Vegetables—potatoes, beans, onions, and in fact all and every kind of production which can be classed as vegetables. Under the head of miscellaneous exports we might quote wine, raisins, dried fruits of every description, honey, beeswax, hope, butter, cheese, eggs, poultry, etc. These products are merely mentioned to give the Eastern reader some idea of the capacity of the soil of this section, and the list does not embrace all that is or can be grown here. But it will show those whose hobby is what is known as "diversified farming," that they can here carry out their bent to the fullest extent. We cannot at this moment recollect any product of the temperate, torrid or arctic zone which cannot be grown here. We do not mean to imply that everything grows with the same luxuriance, or that there is profit in growing such fruit as the banana and pineapple or such crops as cotton, ramie, etc., but the intelligent reader will know that a country in which such diverse productions can be grown must of necessity be a fertile and favored section. Confining our remarks to Anaheim township, it may be stated as a fact, borne out by experience, that it is preeminently adapted to the production of semi-tropical fruits, apples, pears, peaches, apricots and grapes. At the present time, the grape product overshadows all the others. It is indeed a mooted question whether the vineyard or the orange orchard is the most profitable. It is quite certain that the owners of either have no reason to complain of the profits which they derive. The owner of twenty acres of vineyard can sell his grapes to the winemaker for from $1,200 to $1,500, and the expense of caring for the vineyard during she year ought not to exceed $250 or $300. If he makes wine, this income will be very materially increased. Raisin makers make even more money than wine makers, at the present prices, and the Muscat grape, from which the best raisins are made, grow here to superior excellence. It is not only a profitable business but a fascinating one. A profitable market for oranges, lemons and limes is herbaceous action, and all the more worthy of commendation because there can be no question that it was taken in the teeth of the most powerful influences.

When President Grant sententiously said, in referring to the prosecution of the members of the whisky ring, "Let no guilty man escape," and then carefully spread his presidential coat tails over Babcock and others as deeply implicated, to shield them from the law, that act did more to lower him in the estimation of the American people than any previous or subsequent indiscretion. How the Republicans and third termers of the period rolled that sentence as a sweet moral under their tongues! "Let no guilty man escape" was a phrase which might have carried the man who gave utterance to it into the presidential chair for even a third term; but from the moment that the people saw that what he had said was unmeaning babble, his political aspirations were doomed. No public man can hope to succeed—no office-holder can hope to perpetuate himself in office by brave words unless followed up by brave actions. The time when the American people could be tickled with fine phrases and pleased with taffy has long since passed. In the Star Route cases, President Arthur is confronted with the same embarrassing conditions under which President Grant labored during the whisky ring prosecutions. In both cases, the personal and political friends of the President were and are deeply implicated in gross frauds against the Government. History records that Grant shielded his chums and baffled justice. What will be the record of Arthur's action in the Star Route cases? For different from Grant's record, if we may judge from the course he has so far pursued. When he summoned the Presidential offer, and tendered the Attorney-Generalship to Brooklyn, he told that official that he must "preserve the star route no reason to complain of the profits which they derive. The owner of twenty acres of vineyard can sell his grapes to the winemaker for from $1,200 to $1,500, and the expense of caring for the vineyard during the year ought not to exceed $250 or $300. If he makes wine, this income will be very materially increased. Raisin makers make even more money than wine makers, at the present prices, and the Muscat grape, from which the best raisins are made, grow here to superior excellence. It is not only a profitable business but a fascinating one. A profitable market for oranges, lemons and limes is found in Arizona and San Francisco. There is always a demand for first-class fruit, such as is produced here. In order to derive profit from apples, pears, peaches, apricots and kindred fruit, it is necessary to preserve them either by drying or canning. There is little doubt that a large cannery will be built here in the near future—long before those for whose instruction this article is written will have fruit to sell. The market for dried fruit is the whole civilized world. The business is but in its infancy, and the commission merchants and others whose business it is to know, say that all fears of overdoing the business is the veriest bosh. Fruit raising is the paramount and most profitable pursuit, the growing of wheat, barley, hay, etc. being merely auxiliary. The fruit raiser cannot afford, however, to ignore these products entirely. There is nothing to prevent him from growing wheat enough to keep his household in flour, and barley and hay enough to feed his stock throughout the year. He may also, if he chooses, grow vegetables for home consumption; but there are not wanting scores of farmers who will aver that it is cheaper to buy vegetables from the peddling Calestial than to give the time necessary to cultivate them. St. Louis, Nov. 28th.—Mrs. Nash, who confesses to a streak of Indian blood in her veins, and is of French descent, is having trouble with the authorities of the Blair school because they insist that her two sons are of negro birth. They certainly are of dark completion, but their pedigree is clear and the superintendent teacher and pupils will undoubtedly have to come down on the free born Mrs. Nash but not on her war palace, and will go into court if necessary to secure her rights.

This is how it was done: The church building was burned not long ago, and in soliciting subscriptions from their fellow townsmen, the Jon. Oliver Ames jokingly told them that if he was elected Lieutenant-Governor he would give them $2,500, provided the successful candidate for Governor would do the same. Gen. Butler, it is said, heard the story, and offered to fulfill the latter proviso, in case he should succeed as the head of the ticket. Gen. Butler and Mr. Ames were both elected, and the State of Massachusetts has therefore voted the Congregational church at Easton $5,000. According to the correspondent of an English trade journal, it is a mistake to suppose that fruit is absolutely necessary to the manufacture of preserves. He describes a visit to a large jam-producing factory, in which he found that the work was being bravely carried on without the aid of fruit at all. Jama of various kinds were being produced before his eyes—currant, plum, apricot, strawberry, raspberry and gooseberry. Yet neither currant, plum, strawberry, apricot, raspberry nor gooseberry was in the building. Turnips served the purposes of the fruit. The flavoring matter was extracted from coal tar, and the resemblance to raspberry and strawberry jam was further produced by mixing the boiling compound with small seeds of some cheap innocuous herb. A common form of sugar is used, and this is the only honest ingredient of the mess. These preserves are offered as made from "this season's fruit." The ways of juries are mysterious and past finding out. So fearfully ridiculous have been some of their verdicts—so at variance with law and fact have their findings often been—that the abolition of the jury system has been seriously discussed. Every reader of the Gazette doubtless knows of one or more cases of this tendency on the part of jurors to reach conclusions utterly untrue, but we venture to say that the PACIFIC COAST NEWS.

A firm at Seattle has offered $4,000 as a single year's rent for a hop yard containing thirty acres. The estimated yield of the yard is 3,000 pounds to an acre. Matthew Cooke, chief executive horticultural officer, has sent in his resignation. The reason is that the expenses of the office far exceed the salary, and that he cannot stand the draft. S. C. Denson, Judge of the Superior Court of Sacramento, has given notice that he intends to resign his office at an early day, for the reason that practicing at the bar is more profitable. Cora Ridgway, a Portland (Or.), school girl, aged 11 years, was fined $5 last week for battery committed on a nine-year-old girl, a classmate. The defense was that the defendant was justified, as the complainant had insulted Cora's mother. A Petaluma telegram of Monday says: James Fillipine, who left this city last Saturday with a wagon-load of grain, was found about 6 o'clock Sunday morning on the Salmon-creek road crushed beneath the wheels, the wagon having overturned on the down grade. He lay in this condition from eight o'clock Saturday night until found. He died on Monday. Anstin Roberts of San Jose, and one of the principal stockholders in the San Jose Gas Company, has been placed in the Stockton Insane Asylum.

The man however did not leave unaware. Ostrich Farming. Washington, Nov. 28.—The latest issue of consular reports relates extensively to ostrich farming in the United States. It is especially interesting in view of the effort being made to import birds from Bacons Ayres. Some valuable hints are given as to the treatment of ostriches, the period of plucking, the management of farms, etc. Consul Jourdan of Algiers says there is no obstacle to the introduction of ostriches into this country. Any climate will suit them where there is no great excess of cold or heat. He mentions Southern Texas as particularly adapted for them. A pair of birds is worth three thousand francs, and when they are well matched or mated for several years, and harmonize well, their valence will have increased to 5,000 or 6,000 francs. The feathers will be worth 200 francs per head annually. Consul Silver of Cape Town, Cape Colony, thinks ostrich farming might thrive in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico. The prices for full grown young birds range from $1,000 to $1,250. Owing to their longevity a farm once stocked would be stocked for a lifetime, to say nothing of the annual increase of the birds. The feathers from one ostrich in Cape Colony have produced $150 per plucking, and have ripened every eight months. If the chicks are sold by the breeder under a month old, the grass income from one pair of good birds will be from $2,000 to $3,000 a year. Consul Baker of Buenos Ayres says ostriches are doubtless capable of standing the climate of almost any of the 'States', but productive ostrich farming, whether for feathers or raising chicks for sale, ought not to be attempted except in the milder portions of the country, as the Southern, Southwestern and Pacific States. PORTLAND (Or.). November 25.—Charles Harris, for some time subject to fits of derangement, yesterday made a violent attack on his brother James with a carving-knife. His father and another brother tried to disarm him, but he became more violent.

The thing was torn from the lunatic's THE ways of juries are mysterious and past finding out. So fearfully ridiculous have been some of their verdicts—so at variance with law and fact have their findings often been—that the abolition of the jury system has been seriously discussed. Every reader of the GAZEITE doubtless knows of one or more cases of this tendency on the part of jurors to reach conclusions utterly untenable, but we venture to say that the findings of a jury in the United States Circuit Court at Philadelphia beats any verdict on record. After four hours of solid deliberation, they gave it as their opinion that a jewsharp was a musical instrument, and therefore could not be imported into this country without payment of revenue! Nay, they went further, and declared that a jewsharp is "capable of producing a succession of harmonious sounds." The next thing you know, accordone will be legally declared musical instruments, and when that conclusion is reached there is one citizen of this Republic who will take his gripsack and emigrate. ABOUT THE MOST ATROCIOUS PERVERSION OF JUSTICE ON RECORD IS THE ACQUITTAL OF CLARENCE Gray, alias Maginnis, on the charge of murdering Theodore Glancey, editor of the Santa Barbara Press, a little over two years ago. Gray was a hoodlum, a brawler and a pot house politician. By some means he got the Republican nomination for District Attorney of Santa Barbara county. The Press, a Republican newspaper, said the nomination was an unfit one, and Gray shot and killed the editor, who was a weakly man, never carried deadly weapons, and was a thorough gentleman. Gray barely escaped lynching, was convicted of murder on his first trial, and the Supreme Court set aside the verdict, as they usually do. That appears to be about all a Supreme Court is useful for. The second trial at Redwood City (a change of venue having been granted) resulted in acquittal last week. There is not a hoodlum, thief or rascal in Santa Barbara county but what will welcome Gray with open arms and exalt him as a hero; there is not a respectable man or woman in the county but what will be ashamed of a judicial system which turns loose such a brawling and vulgar murderer as Gray, alias Maginnis. ELIZABETH (Pa.), November 25. — A terrible explosion of dynamite occurred at Belleview, two miles from here, killing one person and seriously injuring several more. It appears that a coal miner named Foraythe took several sticks of dynamite home for the purpose of fishing, and, not knowing its dangerous qualities, placed it in the oven of a kitchen stove to thaw out. He then went to work, and his wife and three children sat down to dinner. In about fifteen minutes he was startled by a loud report, and hurrying home to learn the cause, a ghastly spec. Austin Roberts of San Jose, and one of the principal stockholders in the San Jose Gas Company, has been placed in the Stockton Insane Asylum. Mr. Roberts' insanity was induced by anxiety resulting from the substitution of the electric light in San Jose for gas as an illuminator. A brutal husband named Partin at Alturus, Cal., was arrested while beating his wife last week, but was allowed to go with instructions to leave town, as the woman with tears in her eyes pleaded for his release. The man, however, did not leave until the following night, when it is stated, he wore a coat of tar and feathers furnished him by the citizens. It seems to us that it ought to take the next Legislature but a very little time to repeal the Sunday law which has caused such a ruction in California, of late. If it were not for the hackneyed and immemorial rules of Legislative procedure, three days would be ample for the repeal of this mischievous enactment. There is no doubt, in any event, of its being got rid of at the earliest possible day. — Los Angeles Herald. A disease known among cattle men as black leg made its appearance on the Fairchild ranch, in Butte Creek valley, Shasta county, three weeks ago. It has also made its appearance on the Dorris ranch. It is fatal. None of the animals attacked recover. The ranchmen are resorting to systems of vaccination with garlic applied in the brisket as a preventative. Alexander Bledsoe was shot dead in Washington county, Oregon, on October 24th by Sam West, who claimed that he mistook Bledsoe for a deer while they were hunting. Later developments go to show that the shooting was not accidental. It appears that both parties were enamored of the same young lady, and it is thought that West wished to get rid of a rival by shooting Bledsoe. The matter will be investigated by the Grand Jury. We learn that while in New York, previous to his departure from that city for England, Mr. Parker Dear negotiated the sale of the Santa Rosa Ranch in this county, live-stock, improvements and all, to New York capitalists, for the round sum of $25,000. This ranch contains about 50,000 acres, is situated in the Temecula country, and is well covered with live-oak timber. — San Luis Rey Star. Mr. W. R. Portar, Postmaster at San Bernadino, who called upon us yesterday, gives us the gratifying information that the subscription of $20,000 to the California Southern railway to assist them to complete their road from Colton to San Bernardino, has been all subscribed, and work on the construction of the extension will be commenced at once. The new depot at San Bernardino will be located near the head of Fourth street, near the residence of H. L. Drew on Third street, a very advantageous location. PORTLAND (Or.).

James seized a loaded shotgun, thinking to scare him, but he grasped it, and a violent struggle ensued, in which the gun was discharged and both the father and his crazy son wounded. The clothing was torn from the lunatic's breast and his flesh mangled with shot. The other participants had their hands badly hacked with the knife. Charles was finally overpowered and has been sent to the asylum. WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. — A general order announces a military post on the south side of the Golden Gate entrance to the bay of San Francisco, now known as Fort Point, hereafter to be known as "Fort Winfield Scott," in honor of the late General Scott, and that the military post of Black Point, San Francisco harbor, now known as "Fort San Jose," be known as "Fort Mason," in honor of the late General Mason, military Governor of California. CINCINNATI, Nov. 29. — This afternoon, at the Coliseum Theater, in the fourth act of the play of Si Slocum, Frank Frayne, in shooting the apple off the head of Lucy Slocum, personated by Miss Annie Von Behren, missed the apple and shot Miss Von Behren in the head. She died in fifteen minutes. Frayne was arrested immediately. The curtain fell and the play stopped. The audience supposed the girl was only slightly hurt. Frayne used a rifle of .22 caliber, and executed a backward shot. The catch snap of the rifle was imperfect, and slipped just as the hammer fell, and blew the cartridge out backwards. Unhealthy Food. What is one man's meat is another man's poison.

It appears that a coal miner named Forsythe took several sticks of dynamite home for the purpose of fishing, and, not knowing its dangerous qualities, placed it in the oven of a kitchen stove to thaw out. He then went to work, and his wife and three children sat down to diner. In about fifteen minutes he was startled by a loud report, and hurrying home to learn the cause, a ghastly spectacle met his gaze. His house was completely wrecked and his wife and children were lying insensible on the ground, horribly mangled. The youngest child, aged 5 years, was dead, and Mrs. Forsythe, who was sitting nearest to the stove, was gashed and bruised, presenting the appearance of a person riddled with buckshot. She was still living, but her injuries are such that death is inevitable. The other two children were considerably bruised and cut, but were not fatally hurt. The sight nearly erased Forsythe, and he attempted to commit suicide, but was prevented by his friends. WASHINGTON, Nov. 27th.—The Garfield Fair does not draw the attention expected. This afternoon there was at no time over fifty persons present, outside of the keepers of booths and exhibitors. To-night the attendance increased, but was by no means as large as was desired or as the managers had a right to expect. The New York booth has as an attraction a professional beauty. She is a very handsome lady and is surrounded at all times by a number of admirers. The Illinois booth has an attraction that does even better. It is known as the "Lady with the Speaking Eyes." She never utter a word, but fascinates customers by looking at them. As they fall under her influence they march up to her table as if in a dream. As they are walking up she slams them financially and hands them just what she desires, pointing out the price. The remarkable thing is that she affects almost as many ladies as she does gentlemen. The routine of the Jasmine Arab expedition takes an exhilarity and murky that tells volumes. Mr. W. R. Porter, Postmaster at San Bernadino, who called upon us yesterday, gives us the gratifying information that the subscription of $20,000 to the California Southern railway to assist them to complete their road from Culton to San Bernardino, has been all subscribed, and work on the construction of the extension will be commenced at once. The new depot at San Bernardino will be located near the head of Fourth street, near the residence of H. L. Drew on Third street, a very advantageous location. A San Francisco despatch of Nov. 28 says: It was reported at the Coroner's office late this afternoon that a family named Sulivan, residing in a small house on Castro street, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, had been poisoned, and that two out of five children, aged one year and about six years respectively, had died and that the mother and the three remaining children were dangerously sick. Three physicians hurried to the house and there discovered the rooms filled with a crowd of neighbors who were doing all that was possible for Mrs. Sulivan and the three surviving children, who were writhing in agony. In an adjoining room were the two children just dead. A prompt application of remedies effected good results in a short time and all but one child showed signs of recovery. The exception, however, is not expected to recover. It was learned that the family had partaken of fish last Friday and on the succeeding day all were attacked with vomiting. The matter taken from their stomachs was free from all poisonous substance and it was believed from the fearful spasms and convulsions that the survivors had taken the poison into their systems. A later dispatch says: The condition of Mrs. Sulivan and her two children, who were poisoned, but didn't die, was quite low at a late hour last night. It is thought, however, they will survive. The poisoning was caused by eating a quantity of herrings which Mr. Sulivan bought from a fish peder last Friday. A portion of the fish was eaten for supper Friday, and soon after eating the mother and children complained of feeling sick, and continued to grow worse until today, when two children died. The can will be thoroughly investigated by the Chancellor tomorrow. What Women Should Use.

I keep constantly on hand and am daily receiving an assortment of Family Groceries. CALL AND EXAMINE MY STOCK BEFORE PURCHASING ELSEWHERE. HIPPOLYTE CAHEN, Center Street, Anaheim. 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 rage. Although some of nearly every other manufacture was destroyed, so far no known 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 leave them. It is also easier to other Mills in having an ADJUSTABLE STROKE, (a different length) in the case and noticeances of its work, in the beauty of its design and finish and in the movability low price at which it is sold. I will furnish these Mills with Pumpes and Tanks and set them up in complete running order at the lowest possible rate. For further particulars all upon or address H. H.
