WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY AUG. 11, 1883 Kleinigkeiten. L. D. Gavitt of Los Angeles has been granted a patent for a culinary dish. Twenty two carloads of wine were shipped from Anaheim station during the past month. "Batch!" Gapos, who lives near the race track, Los Angeles, attempted suicide by shooting himself in the head. He was not badly hurt. Salve Thomas aged four years, daughter of John Thomas, was run over by an express wagon in Los Angeles on Friday, and died on Sunday from her injuries. A flowing artesian well, two miles south of Fulton Wells, owned by a man named Baker, has been destroyed by some unlawful person, who exploited a charge of disguise to it. Mr. T. S. Grinsman will next week begin the erection of a dugging house on his lot on Broadway. It will be built in the graceful Queen Anne style, 40x26 feet. It will be a noted improvement in the town. The Longmont Colonial Lodge of August 31 contains original extracts from the Gazette's history of the settlement from the editor of the Lodge having received the paper from Dr. Hardill of this place. An inch of water added a four-inch pressure extremely defined to be "a stream which will flow through an aperture one inch square in a one inch plank," under a four-inch pressure from the center of such aperture. The Board of Town Trustees met on Wednesday. Present: Messrs. Konig, Saxton and Zeyn; absent: Messrs. Backs and Ey. The proposal to rent the first story of the Masone Hall building for the Fire Department at a rental of $5 per month for three years was discussed, and definite action postponed until next meeting. In regard to the removal of the Broadway ditch, the Boards expressed its willingness to pay one half the cost of removal, if the other half would be borne by the property owners to be benefited. Further action postponed until next meeting. The Clerk reported that the assessment rate is amended by the Board of Equalization, footed up $350,375, whereupon it was resolved that the rate for the fiscal year 1883-84 be fixed at fifty cents on the $100 valuation. An ordinance was introduced making it a must-measure to drive any band of cattle, horses or other stock through the streets of Anaheim between the hours of 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.; and persons desiring to drive stock through the streets between 9 p.m. and 5 p.m. must notify the Town Marshal of the route they desire to take. The penalty for a violation of this ordinance is a fine of not more than $100 or imprisonment not exceeding 30 days. The adoption of this ordinance is made necessary because of the damage done to vineyards by anuly cattle while being driven through the streets. The wonderful lamp which upon being carried by Aladdin, brought to him genius, shaved his sightless wish, even to transporting people from one province to another, unknown to them and in the twinkling of an eye, has it counterpart these days in the penal of the editor. With that potent weathen we last week transported Dr. J. E. Clance from Santa Ana to Tustin, and the general Doctor knew of it until with his eyes he read it in his newspaper that the same power which transferred our friend to the rural shades of Tustin hereby conveys him back again to the thronged thoroughfare of Santa Ana. Some Queries: A letter from Antoine been received, and answer to the follow: 1. What is the can lots be obtained figures? 2. Have you a market for poultry eat price? 3. Are there any country? 4. Are building poultry? 5. What is the can lands figures? 6. Can lands figures? 7. When is the format? The Longmont Hotel's Lodge of August 31 contains exquisite extracts from the Gazette's history of the satirical form; the editor of the Lodge having received the paper from Dr. Hardill of this place. An inch of water added to a four-inch pressure is loosely defined to be "a stream which will flow through an aperture one inch square in one inch plank, under a four-inch pressure from the center of such aperture." The Times says text seven conductors on the S. P. R.H., on the Mays and Yunnas divisions, have been simultaneously held in the last day or two. No reason is assigned, and the other conductors are asking, who come next? Henry Sesler, aged 48 years, was drowned while bathing on the Los Angeles reservoir on Saturday. Donnard was a member of the Davy Mason's lodge, and houses a wife who lives with her relatives at Dawney. Pilgrims to the ostrich farm should be in mind that they must prepare to leave of admission from the gentlemen named in the advertisement published elsewhere, and the Wheaties and Sundays are the days set apart for the reception of visitors. The Messrs White are selling the best brand of barbed wire for $2 cents a pound. This is cheaper than it has ever before, been offered. An inferior article has been sold for that price, but this is the genuine "Star brand." The settlers on Las Bakers have been holding meetings for several days during the week for the purpose: we are told of apportioning to the different members of the league the land confirmed to them by the Secretary of the Interior. The various departments of the Anaheim Carriage and Wagon Factory are turning out an excellent quality of work. Mr. Dennis showed us through the establishment the other day, and it is no flattery to say that neither woodworker, blacksmith or painter can be surpassed. Important correction by the Santa Ana Herald: "In 'A Texan's Views of Los Angeles Valley,' published in the last issue of the Herald, occurred an annoying error. In the 12th line of the first paragraph, instead of 'we love brandy,' etc., it should have read, 'we love beauty,' etc." What's the difference? Beauty and brandy are both intoxicating. The birthday party at the Anaheim Hotel on Sunday evening was participated in by over a hundred people, and marsh and rubbish by Madin, brought to him gentlemens obeyed his slightest wish, even to transporting people from one province to another, unknown to them and in the twinkling of an eye, has strenuous art these days in the penal colony of the editor. With that potent weapon we last week transported Dr. J. E. Crane from Santa Ana to Tustin, and the general Doctor knows naught of it until with his eyes he read it in his newspaper. But the same power which transferred our friend to the rural shades of Tustin hereby converts him back again to the thronged thoroughfares of Santa Ana. The Anaheim Volunteer Fire Company met on Thursday evening at the Planters Hotel and organized by electing the following officers: N. A. Hittner, Foreman; John Langenberger, Assistant Foreman; F. C. Smyte, Secretary; E. J. Pellegrin, Treasurer; W. Wolf, C. White and E. A. White, finance committee. The company adjourned to meet at the call of the Fire Commissioner. So much of the tea now sold contains poisonous matter, that many people have quit drinking it on that account. But there is now on the market a tea into which not a particle of injurious matter enters, and it is within the most palatable beverage. The brand is the "Mayflower" and it is only sold by M.H. Cincinnati at the Depot store. It consists in pound packages and will without doubt soon become a favorite brand. Goodman & Rumpan have received several hundred samples of fall and winter styles of cloth from Derlin & Co., the merchant tailors of New York. They take orders for gentlemen's suits, have them made in New York and deliver them in Anaheim in three to four weeks. The clothing thus obtained is clean, stylish and one has an immense variety of samples to choose from. We are in receipt of a letter from San Francisco requiring if it is true that "there is in the vicinity of Los Angeles, a school where boys who are willing to work are enabled, at an outlay of some six dollars per month, to acquire a good English education." We know of no such school; if our Los Angeles contemporaries do, will they please state where it is? In the Superior Court on Wednesday the partition suit of Deutzus vs. Fritian et al was heard and listings and decree filed. The west 75 acres of the Fritian tract in North Anaheim has been set aside to plant-fruit, and we learn that part, if not all, of it will be placed on the market immediately in small tracts and sold at a low figure.

In the 12th line of the first paragraph, instead of 'we love brandy,' etc., it should have read, 'we love beauty.' What's the difference? Beauty and brandy are both intoxicating. The birthday party at the Anaheim Hotel on Sunday evening was participated in by over a hundred people, and much and merriment reigned supreme. A most excellent supper was served by Mr. Dietzef, and the young gentleman in whose honor the party was given seemed to comprehend the affair, and conducted himself with due deportment. H. D. Polhemus has opened a real estate office at No. 10 First street, Los Angeles, and will work in conjunction with Mr. Hanna at Anaheim, the firm name being Hanna & Polhemus. It is expected that this vicinity will be greatly benefited by this move, as Mr. Polhemus will undoubtedly direct the attention of land buyers to this section. Mr. Hanna continues the business at his office here as usual, and a description of all property given to him for sale will be filed in the Los Angeles office. The following real estate transactions are reported: Joseph C Fithian by Sheriff to Win J Smith, SW 1 See 26, T 3 S, R 10 W; $700.

The machine can be seen at D. W. Hudson's real estate office. In the Superior Court on Wednesday the petition suit of Deoytus vs. Fithian et al was heard and listings and decree filed. The west 75 acres of the Fithian tract in North Anaheim has been set aside to plant off, and we learn that part, if not all, of it will be placed on the market immediately in small tracts and sold at a low figure. In the case of the People vs. Horace Bell, editor of the Parquiner, charged with malicious libeling Chief of Police King of Los Angeles, the defendant was discharged, the prosecuting witness having filed a statement asking that the charge of libel be dismissed. The announcement that the North Anaheim Canal Company would elect officers last Saturday was an error arising from a misunderstanding. The election takes place next month. Over forty teams passed through town on Thursday en route to the various seaside resorts. They were principally from River-side and vicinity. The clatter of the cooper's hammer from daylight to dark is a sure indication of the approaching vintage. An unusual number of new casks and pipes are being made. The Postmaster General has ordered a general delivery service to be established in Los Angeles on October 1st. Water consumers should take heed of the Town Marshal's notice in regard to the shutting off of the water next week. The Supreme Court decision in the suit of the Anaheim Water Co. vs. the Santa Ana V. I. Co. is expected every day. We are in receipt of the first number of the Valley Echo, the new Riverside paper. It is neat, newsy and able. $5,000 to Loan In such amounts as may be desired. Apply to John Hanna, Anaheim Hotel.

A letter from Annapolis, Nova Scotia, has been received, and the writer asks for an answer to the following questions: 1. What is the present price of land and can lots be obtained near the city at low figures? 2. Have you a near and remunerative market for poultry? Give highest and lowest price. 3. Are there any diseases peculiar to the country? 4. Are buildings necessary for keeping poultry? 5. What is the mode of irrigation? 6. Can lands be rented and at what figures? 7. When is the best time to come to California? ANSWERS: 1. The price of unimproved land in the vicinity of Annapolis, convenient for irrigation, varies from $50 to $100 per acre. The land at these figures is of first quality, and is unsurpassed for the growth of grapes, oranges, lemons or other fruit. Some of the finest vineyards and orchards in the State are to be found here, and on soil similar to that we refer to. West of Annapolis, in Wexhamster township, land is selling at from $20 to $30 per acre. Part of this land is alkali, but on the most of it alfaifa can be grown, hence it is a desirable country for dairy and stockcaps. 2. The poultry products of Los Angeles county cited in the neighboring territory of Arizona a market which it finds impossible to supply. There is a strong demand for eggs and poultry at all times and seasons of the year. A reference to the market report published in another column will give our correspondent the prices now ruling in Los Angeles. During the past two years eggs have never brought less than 10 cents per dozen, and the highest price paid has been 40 cents a dozen. It should be explained, however, that the low price of ten cents ealed but a few days, and was caused by an abnormal receipt of eggs from San Francisco. It would not be unfair to quote 15 cents as the lowest figure. 3. If the third query relates to persons we can emphatically say that there are no Time for Action. Ed. Gazette: J. W. Shanklin loaned the Capon Irrigation Company $6,000 when the ditch was being built, and as the Company could not conveniently repay him he offered to give it to the Company for the privilege of buying water at stockholders rates for such of his land lying below the ditch (about 800 acres) that might be placed under cultivation and need the water. The Company believing that the interest on $6,000 would always equal, or perhaps exceed, the assessments that might be levied on the 400 or 500 acres of good land lying below the ditch—besides Mr. Shanklin has repeatedly said that it the Company washed to pay him back the $6,000 with interest at 10 per cent, he would keep stock enough to irrigate all the land cultivated. He has carried and still owns 458 shares of stock. He never refused to give up this contract; nor does he now refuse to do so. There has never been an offer made him to my knowledge, nor has he ever been approached by the Company to surrender his contract, but in private conversations with him I know that he is willing to do so. The stock of the Company is selling at about $10 an acre. Mr. Shanklin could buy stock enough for every acre of his land below the ditch and have $5,000 left were he paid what he advanced with interest and the stock on hand now. W. M. McFADDEN. The above explanation disposes of what appeared to be an insurmountable obstacle to the proposed consolidation scheme. And now, having brought forward all the most pertinent arguments in favor of a unity of interests, we suggest speedy and decisive action. The year is passing rapidly and much remains to be done before another summer rolls around. Whether the consolidation scheme carries or not, there is an abundance of work to do, but before proceeding further it is necessary to know whether the work is to be done for the common good, or only for the good of a small fraction of the people. "Throwing Money Away." The Riverside Canal Company has commenced suits against several persons who have been taking out new ditches from the water supply above Riverside and enlarging the capacity of other old ditches. Other suits are being prepared. As a result the Board of Supervisors. Monday, August 6. In the matter of the deed of E. M. McDonald for road in Wilmington road district. Referred to Supervisor Giroux. In the matter of the assessment on Santa Ana property for fire purposes. The Board met as a Board of Equalization for said matter, adjourned and opened as a Board of Supervisors. In the matter of proposals for sites for Court House, etc. Two proposals having been received. On motion further consideration of said matter deferred. One proposal was from W. J. Brodrick who offered to sell a block bounded by Spring, Eighth and Main streets for $15,000. The other bid was by Mr. D. G. Stephens to sell the block on the corner of New High and Temple streets, opposite the Episcopal Church, for $40,000. Communication of Hon. C. E. Thom in relation to county roads. Received and his Honor requested to meet this Board at his earliest convenience.

On motion, all Justices of the Peace are hereby required to pay over to the County Treasurer all money collected for fines. On motion, the Clerk was instructed to collect from the bondsmen on the Shaw private road; the sum of $39,600, the cost of viewing and surveying the same. Tuesday, August 7. On motion it was Resolved That the District Attorney is hereby directed to immediately bring suit in such form as he may deem proper against any and all persons who have neglected to comply with the provisions of the ordinance fixing the rate of license tax for Los Angeles county, adopted June 4, 1883, in regular session by this Board, and in effect July 1, 1883, to the end that said ordinance may be enforced. In the matter of the Fifth street road in Santa Ana—report of viewers and map filled; set for hearing Tuesday, September 4th, and Clerk instructed to notify parties interested. Wednesday, August 8. In the matter of the opinion of the District Attorney in relation to issuing bonds to liquidate the road district indebtedness; The District Attorney presents his opinion in substance as follows: The statutes governing the case are cited, and also the judgments of the courts in similar cases. It is thought that road district liabilities in violation of the law were incurred last year. The question of issuing bonds to liquidate such liabilities would have to be submitted A reference to the market report published in another column will give our correspondent the press now raiding in Los Angeles. During the past two years eggs have never brought less than 10 cents per dozen, and the highest price paid has been 40 cents a dozen. It should be explained, however, that the low price of ten cents raised but a few days, and was caused by an abnormal receipt of eggs from San Francisco. It would not be unfair to quote 15 cents as the lowest figure. 3. If the third query relates to persons we can emphatically say that there are no diseases peculiar to this country. It is the healthiest part of the globe. There are occasional deaths from malignant diseases, but the cause can almost invariably be traced to some insatiable condition of the immediate surroundings. Diseases never become epidemic. If, however, the query relates to poultry, we can say, upon authority, that they suffer no disease peculiar to the country, but improperly caused for fowls are liable to attack by diseases prevalent among poultry the world over. Only this and nothing more. 4. Building are necessary for keeping poultry; but they need be of the cheapest kind. "Buildings" is scarcely the word to use; "noops" would be more proper. This item of expense is trading and inconsiderable. While upon this subject, we think our correspondent will be interested in reading the following statement published in the Gazette some time ago by Mr. W. G. Potter. We have averaged about one hundred and fifty heirs, mostly Leghorn. They have for their morning meal wheat bran and corn meal about two-thirds bran to one-third corn flour with some milk and batter-milk, with scraps from the table. They are given also on occasion meal of boiled potatoes and other vegetables, and meat scraps processed from the pork packing houses, bolted and mixed with their morning meal twice a week; also a dose of cayenne pepper once a week mixed with their food. At night they have whole grain, sorghum and wheat. For green food plenty of alfalfa. We cannot give the cost of feeding, but have had to buy nothing but the bran and scraps, as the grass was all raised on the ranch. Number of eggs laid (including breeding pond) from Jan. 1st to Dec. 25th, 1882. January ... 1304 July ... 2279 February ... 1633 August ... 2133 March ... 2533 September ... 1748 April ... 2332 October ... 1558 May ... 2385 November ... 1616 June ... 2244 December ... 1542 12,251 10,876 12,251 Total ... 23,127 The proceeds from the breeding pens for eggs and chickens sold, amounted to $74.85; and the proceeds from the whole, including the breeding pens for eggs and chickens sold, amounted to $871.33. The number of eggs laid by six Brown Leghorn pullets, from March 1st to October 1st, amounted to 720. 5. Vineyard and fruit land is irrigated with water from the Santa Ana river, conveved through ditches to the land to be irrigated. The ditch which conveys water to Anaheim is twelve miles in length, and there an abundance of work to do, but before proceeding further it is necessary to know whether the work is to be done for the common good, or only for the good of a small fraction of the people. "Throwing Money Away." The Riverside Canal Company has commenced suits against several persons who have been taken out new ditches from the water supply above Riverside and enlarging the capacity of other old ditches. Other suits are being prepared. As a result the water supply for this settlement has been increased during the past ten days by several hundred inches. It now looks as though the water rights of these on the stream above this place were to be judiciously determined. This is a move in the right direction. Those who have no rights should stop taking water, and those who have rights should have them determined so that they should not take any more than they are entitled to. Riverside Press. It makes a great deal of difference whose ox is gored. The Press has frequently declined against the Anaheim Water Company for legally defending its rights, and has been profite of advice to "put money into development instead of into law suits." But here we have it speaking approvingly of the course of the Riverside Company in plumbing into an untold number of law suits in defense of what it conceived to be its rights. The Gazette might retaliate by giving the Press some of its own bolus; it might advise the company, instead of spending its money in litigation, to repair its ditches so that the Press need not have the humiliation of reporting, as it did in its issue of the 4th instant: that "there is a loss of 400 inches between the head of the upper canal and the Spanishtown flame, and the loss of water in the mile of canal and distributing ditches below that point is something tearful to contemplate." But we forebear, because we believe the River side Company like the Anaheim Company, is doing nothing more than its duty in defending its property against illegal encroachments, however much we deplore the wolf waste of money entailed by such defense. Church Notes. The Niles, Michigan, Republican of July 26th, has the following mention of the pastor who has just been engaged by the Presbyterian congregation at Westminster: The Rev. W. W. Wells, of Buchanan, who has supplied the palpit of the Presbyterian church since November last, preached his farewell sermon on Sunday evening and goes to California this week, where he will take pastoral charge of a church. It is simply just to Mr. Wells to say that he has not been a candidate for this pulpit. This has been understood from the start. Personally, Mr. Wells has been very popular here, his labors have given general satisfaction and he will carry with him his new field of labor, the personal good will of every member of this congregation. The Baptist and Methodist churches gave up their evening services and the three congregations united," Rev J. H. Dudley and Rev A. M. Gould assisting in the services. In effect July 1, 1883, to the end that said ordinance may be enforced. In the matter of the opinion of the District Attorney in relation to issuing bonds to liquidate road district indebtedness: The District Attorney presents his opinion in substance as follows: The statutes governing the case are cited, and also the judgments of the courts in similar cases. It is thought that road district habitities in violation of the law were incurred last year. The question of issuing bonds to liquidate such indebtedness would have to be submitted to a popular vote in the districts involved. The County Government Bill itself is in the courts which will soon pass on the constitutionality thereof. In view of these facts, it is perhaps best not to take any action at the present time. In the matter of the tax levy for the Santa Ana fire apparatus: A tax of 94 cents on each $100 of taxable property was levied. Warrants remaining in the office for over one year, amounting to $136.50, were destroyed. Propositions were received from Alfred Moore to sell a lot on Ducommun street, 115x225 feet, for $5,000. M. S. Baker & Co., offered the old Chapman property, two lots 120x170 feet, corner of Main and Second streets, for $26,000. Frank Sabahi offered to give the county for nothing, a lot of three acres on the corner of San Pedro and Seventh streets. On motion, the sale of the Court House and Jail property was postponed until Wednesday, September 5th, at 12 M. On motion, the proposition to receive bids for site for the Court House was postponed until September meeting. Adjourned until September 3, 1883, at 10 A.M. BORN.

The number of eggs laid by six Brown Leghorn pullets, from March 1st to October 1st, amounted to 720. 5. Vineyard and fruit land is irrigated with water from the Santa Ana river, conveyed through ditches to the land to be irrigated. The ditch which conveys water to Anaheim is twelve miles in length, and there are probably four or five miles of distributing ditches. 6. Land can be rented for grain raising. The usual rental is $1.50 per acre cash for unbroken land, or $2 per acre for land which has been cultivated. If the rental is on shares it is usually for one-fifth of the crop, delivered at the railroad depot, each party furnishing his own sacks. The above are the terms of the owners of the Stearns Ranchos. Corn land usually rents for one-fourth of the crop, shelled. 7. If one wants to come to Southern California, he may come at any time. The winters are mild, and fierce heat is not characteristic of summer, and if our correspondent is moved to make a change from considerations of health the sooner he comes here the better. The Laguna correspondent of the Times says: A large rat-tailed stingaree was captured here last week by Lawrence Anderson and Ernest Parker. It measured three feet across. Last Thursday a party of Riversiders, together with Mr. Goff, attempted to land a skiff at Aliso Canyon. They did not land exactly as they intended, but swung around broadside and were introduced to a huge breaker. They acknowledged the introduction gracefully and then jumped overboard and sought the shore on all tours. A hundred-dollar watch was lost and the keel was knocked off the boat. No damage to life or limb. Ben Wilson will today open a saloon at Anaheim Landing. He proposes to keep the very best of native wines and brandies and the best brands of whisky and cigars; also beer on draught and in bottles. He solicits the custom of his friends and will endeavor to merit their patronage. Post-Office Letter List.
