WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY JUNE 16, 1883 Kleinigkeiten. Pay your school taxes. Insure your grain fields in the insurance companies represented by Richard Melrose. Pasturage for horses is to be had at the Bixby ranch in the Santa Ana canyon. See advertisement. Mr. J. T. Stewart has removed to Los Angeles, where his skill as a plumber has secured him a first-class position. Mr. B. Dreyfus will leave this morning for Bartlett Springs, Lake county, where he intends to remain for several weeks. A man-eating shark was captured at Santa Monica the other day. This is comforting intelligence to the bathers at that resort. The examination of T. F. Mitchell for the killing of F. A. Moore at Newhall resulted in the acquittal of the defendant on the ground of justifiable homicide. A purse of $240 was presented to Rev. E. S. Chase of the Los Angeles M.E. church by members of his congregation to assist in defraying the expense of a trip to the East. Samples of Odessa wheat from the Burrel Point ranch have been brought to this office by John Bush. The wheat is five feet in height. The dry goods store of S. S. Fisherman has been reopened and he offers great bargains in everything in his line. Secrets ad... A purse of $240 was presented to Rev. E. S. Chase of the Los Angeles M.E. church by members of his congregation to assist in defraying the expense of a trip to the East. Samples of Oldea wheat from the Burrel Point ranch have been brought to this office by John Bash. The wheat is five feet in height. The dry goods store of S. S. Federman has been reopened and he offers great bargains in everything in his love. See his advertisement. Thomas H. Edwards and his son, Matthew, left on Thursday for a visit to Illinois. They will probably be gone a couple of months. As an illustration of the uniformity of the temperature of Anaheim, we refer to our thermometrical record which shows that the temperature at 7 p.m. was exactly 68° during the seven days. At the store of Mr. H. Cahen is a list headed "Subscription Nationale pour l'erection d'un monument à Leon Gambetta." Our French fellow citizens will doubtless respond liberally. J. M. Gridisha, of Los Angeles, has been appointed by Governor Stoneman as Commissioner to manage the Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Big Tree Grove, vice W. C. Priest, resigned. We are indebted to Mrs. C. E. Taylor (who arrived in Anaheim last week for a short visit) for late numbers of Globe papers. The chief topic of discussion in the Arizona papers is hot money, but Indians. The Domestic sewing machine is generally considered one of the finest in the market, and Mr. Meek is fortunate in securing the agency for Anaheim. Read his advertisement and inspect the machines he has on hand. There are few towns of the size of Anaheim which is so fortunate in having such a complete safflery and harness establishment as that kept by Win Harker. His enterprise ought to be encouraged by a liberal patronage. On last Saturday, C. S. Witherspoon went into a gun store in Los Angeles, asked to see some revolvers, loaded one with cartridges which were given him and then deliberately shot himself in the breast. He had been living at Cahuenga with Ivar A. Weid for about a month. He was impeccable, and a failure to receive money from his friends in Missouri made him despondent. An engineer in the employ of the South- On last Saturday, C. S. Witherspoon went into a gun store in Los Angeles, asked to see some revolvers, loaded one with cartridges which were given him and then deliberately shot himself in the breast. He had been living at Cahueoga with Ivar A. Weid for about a month. He was impecunious, and a failure to receive money from his friends in Missouri made him despondent. An engineer in the employ of the Southern Pacific railroad company, named Henry Heidt, was killed by Ramon Lopez on Monday night at a party given at a house on the corner of Aliso and Macy street, Los Angeles. Lopez abused a young brother of Heidt, and the latter responded to an appeal for help. In the scuffle which ensued, Lopez stabbed Heidt, and the latter died after twelve hours of terrible suffering. Lopez was arrested. Among the distinguished arrivals in Anaheim during the week was Mrs. McDowell, nee Kearney. This interesting young lady has been in jail in San Bernardino for some months, but was released a few days ago because the jury found that it was her husband who killed Maggie O'Brien. Mrs. McDowell's promises of reformation made to some philanthropic San Bernardino ladies were, we fear, pure and unadulterated taffy, else she would not have made a bee line from the jail to a maison de joie. It may not be generally known, but it is well to understand that bi-sulfide of carbon, which is so generally used to kill squirrels, gophers and other pests, is a combustible. Mr. H. McLellan, of this city, in destroying a hen's nest, poured some of it on the straw and on touching it with a match there was a report like that of a gun. If a small quantity makes such an explosion a whole bottle might do great bodily injury, and those who are using it should handle with great care. —Times. There is five dollars at this office for the finder of a silver-mounted meerschau pipe which was lost on the 3d instant on Los Angeles street. The station farm is about as novelty as ever, and there are daily pilgrimages to see the famous birds. It is quite the correct thing for strangers to come to Anaheim on the morning train, hire a fast team from Lewis City Stables, drive to the farm and return to Los Angeles on the afternoon train. Mrs. N. F. Crenes, mother of Felix H. Nickerson, deceased, has tied a complaint against the Western Union Telegraph Company, laying damages at $25,000, alleging that the said Nickerson died from injuries received from contact with a telegraph wire near Compton, in this county, in January last. Business at the railroad depot is exceedingly good. The exports average five carloads a day. Among the exports during the past week were eight carloads of wine, four carloads of hay to Calico and one carload of oranges to Kansas City. It is to be inferred from the immense number of pipes, casks and tanks standing in and about C. Wille's shop that business is brisk in the cooper line. Most excellent work and low prices are characteristic of his establishment. Dr. J. A. Maggard of Wellington, Kansas, is in Anaheim. Under the guidance of Mr. Sidney Holman, his brother-in-law, he is visiting the many points of interest in the county. The unloading of the 160,000 feet of redwood lumber brought by the Nora Harkins has just been finished at the lumber yard of Saxton & Cox. John Hanna reports the sale of 20 acres of the Colier tract to Plez James at $75 per acre. The daily receipt of goods at Dobner's cash store is evidence of the large business done there. A new paint shop has been established in Langenberger's building on Center street. To-morrow is the anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill. WATER DEVELOPMENT. A Project to Increase the Supply for Irrigation. The necessity for developing more irrigating water grows more and more pressing. Every year sees an increased area of cultivated land with no corresponding increase of the water without which the land is of but little value. Even at the present time there is a demand which could barely be supplied were there five times as much water in the Santa Ana river as is now flowing down to the point of diversion. Of the 1200 inches of water at Bedrock Canyon, 600 inches goes to Orange and Santa Ana and 600 inches to Anaheim and the contiguous country. Either locality could use 3000 or 4000 inches today, and not waste a drop. It is evident, then, that the country has reached a point where something must perforce be done, else not only will further development be arrested but many of the improvements which represent the labor of years will be destroyed by the lack of the vitalizing water. The wide awake, keen men of Orange and Santa Ana have long foreseen that something ought to be done to increase the water supply. That country's predicament is even worse than ours. Not only do they irrigate a much larger territory but their orange orchard is require irrigation just at the time when water is least plentiful. All their plans for an increased water supply have been in the direction of some kind of dam in the river, and they have secured all the engineering data for such a work. But not only is the undertaking costly but there must be a clear understanding among the various claimants as to the distribution and ownership of the water after it is developed; and as every claimant corporation is at legal warfare, one with the other, there is no present possibility of arriving at that understanding necessary before the submerged dam enterprise is entered into. Thus, not only has these miserable lawsuits of the past few years cost a mint of money, but they have indirectly been of greater detriment to the various communities than is represented THE TARIFF AGITATION. And its Effect Upon the Grape Industry. The Times having published a paragraph to the effect that the wine market is flat and dull and the outlook for the industry discouraging by reason of the large quantities in the warehouses of the large dealers, the Herald designates the statements as "false and pernicious" and undertakes to prove that the trade is moderately prosperous and that the demand for wine continues quite brisk. Both our esteemed contemporaries are correct in their respective assertions. All the leading dealers are carrying larger stocks than is desirable, yet the trade is in a very fair condition. In addition to the reasons given by the Gazette some weeks ago for the comparatively light demand for last year's vintage, we failed to mention the ill effect of the present tariff agitation. It is to be regretted that in discussing the causes of the sudden arrest of the vinicultural boom it is necessary to dwell upon a quasi-political topic, but the fact is undeniable that the struggle between the two factions of the Democratic party has in regard to the tariff question is the underlying reason for the present semi-stagnation in the wine industry. A very considerable portion of the Democratic party has for its slogan "a tariff for revenue only," another portion clamor for free trade, pure and simple, while still another fragment of the party are for protection, or a maintenance of the present laws. The gulf which separates the two first-named factions is not while enough to prevent them from falling into each other's arms and making common cause, because the distinction between free trade and a tariff for revenue only is quite imperceptible to protectionist eyes. Until this pretty little family quarrel is temporarily settled by the election of a Speaker of the next Congress, wine dealers as well as other manufacturers will keep as little stock on hand as it is possible to get along with. And if Carlisle of Kentucky, or some other fellow of similar free trade views is elected Speaker, there will be a still greater stagnation in every LOS ANGELES MARKETS.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT SHLED proposals will be received by the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company for the position of Zanjero of said Company for the year ending July, 1884. The duties of the Zanjero are defined in a document on file in the office of the Secretary, and said document is open to the inspection of all concerned. Proposals must be handed to the Secretary before publication in July 18th, 1883. The right is re- John that minor in the engineering data for such a work. But not only is the undertaking costly but there must be a clear understanding among the various claimants as to the distribution and ownership of the water after it is developed; and as every claimant corporation is at legal warfare, one with the other, there is no present possibility of arriving at that understanding necessary before the submerged dam enterprise is entered into. Thus, not only has these unreliable lawsuits of the past few years cost a mint of money, but they have indirectly been of greater detriment to the various communities than is represented by the more loss of the money, because they have prevented that unity of purpose and concert of action which would ere this have probably given the country an abundance of the life-blood so necessary to its prosperity. There is a project now noted for increasing the water supply which we view with favor because it appears to be feasible and because the cost of the experiment is but small. The idea of sinking a caisson, or large tank, in the river, and pumping the water out and into ditches, has long been talked of, but it remained for Mr. H. C. Kellogg to take the idea, elaborate and improve upon it, until he has formulated a scheme which bears about it the probability of success. Stripped of all elaborate specifications, his plan is briefly tins: Sink a caisson or cylinder of say twenty-seven feet in diameter in the river bed, to as low a depth as desirable ascertain, by pumping, the level at which the water flows into the cylinder most treely and tap the cylinder at that point with a pipe say thirty inches in diameter. The average grade of the river being 13 feet to the mile, it is not probable that more than one mile of piping would be needed to bring this water to the surface by carrying the pipe on a grade of three feet to the mile. This is a brief outline of the scheme. The river bed is permeated with water at all seasons of the year. In the dryest part of the year and on the hottest day, if you dig away the sand to the depth of a foot the hole will immediately fill with water. The plan presented for collecting this water and utilizing it seems feasible enough. Mr. Kellogg has succeeded in interesting several gentlemen in the scheme and proposes this tall to sink an experimental caisson of ten feet diameter. There are two things to be determined by this experiment: First—whether the water is there in sufficient volume; second—whether the series of screens which he has devised will effectively perform their work of clearing the water of quicksand before it enters the discharge pipe. The result of this experiment will be awaited with interest. And whatever of encouragement or assistance the promoter needs should not be lacking from a community which will be so materially helped by the success of the scheme. Church Notes. First-named factions is not wide enough to prevent them from falling into each other's arms and making common cause, because the distinction between free trade and a tariff for revenue only is quite imperceptible to protectionist eyes. Until this pretty little family quarrel is temporarily settled by the election of a Speaker of the next Congress, wine dealers as well as other manufacturers will keep as little stock on hand as it is possible to get along with. And if Carlisle of Kentucky, or some other fellow of similar free trade views is elected Speaker, there will be a still greater stagnation in every industry to which protection now gives vitality. A tariff system which would admit the wines and raisins of Europe to this country free of duty would be practical annihilation of those industries here, and in place of pure, natural wines the people would be served with the villainous adulterations of La Belle France. It has passed into a proverb—whether a true or false one we will not pretend to say—that the Democratic party always commits some fatal blunder when on the eve of success. It was an unhappy thought on the part of the leaders of the party when on looking around for an issue they decided to work the tariff racket. It is not yet too late to change these programme, and make the issue of the Presidential campaign the turning out of the Republicans. There are lots of Republicans who ought to be turned out, and there are lots of Republicans who will help the Democrats to do the turning. But the tariff issue if persisted in will wreck the Democratic party. This we could bear with equanimity, but as the effect of free trade agitation is disastrous to many of the industries of the country, we say forbear. Thermometrical Record.

Bowen, a commercial traveler, who has lately passed through a considerable area of the State, says that the hot wind of a few days ago, which passed through the northern portion of the State, did an immense amount of damage to the fruit and grain crops. Much of the early fruit was fairly baked on the trees, and grain which was just in the milk, and in a very thriving condition, in many places will shrink badly.
