WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY SEPT. 15, 1883 Kleinigkeiten. A still, in good order, is offered for sale cheap by Mr. Reiser. J. Seemann has a quantity of change raised in grapes which he offers for sale. The County Court House is to be sold on Monday to the highest bidder. The Anaheim Minstrel Troupe is to be reorganized, and will give entertainments during the winter months. Although we have nothing on the water question it is week we hope readers will not find the paper dry. Several great bargains in improved and unimproved land is offered by D. W. Hudson. The young child of William Hill was accidentally kicked by a horse the other day, but was not seriously injured. Rev. R. A. Washington, the leader of the Holiness Band, has withdrawn from the M.E. Church, by request of the Conference. The pleasing and novel sight to strangers, of large wagons heaped high with grapes and drawn by four or six horses, is getting to be quite common in the streets. W. H. Edwards and wife of Westminster have the sympathy of the community for the great loss sustained by the death of both brothers. From the fact that several excellent crops of muscat grapes are offered for sale, it is to be inferred that the flurry for such grapes for shipment has somewhat modified. Some of the consignments arrived in bad condition, which makes shippers chary of investing very heavily. If what is said as to the shipment of unripe grapes is true, it is easy to understand why the Eastern palate refuses longer to be tickled. There is nothing captivating about an unripe grape, even if they are big and were grown in California. The experience of one firm of shippers is suggestive. They agreed to pay the railroad company, it is said, $1200 freight on a carload of grapes to Boston, the contract being that the car was to be attached to the passenger train. One of the firm went to Los Angeles with the car, saw it attached to the train a few minutes before it was to leave, but when he returned after a short absence he found the car detached and the train gone. The car remained in Los Angeles thirty-six hours, was detained at other points on the road and did no reach Boston until the twelfth day. The grapes were of course in bad condition and sold for 24 cents per pound at a time when good grapes sold readily for 20 cents per pound. From the fact that other buyers have received instructions to stop buying, it is inferred that, as in the instance quoted, the transportation companies are not doing their full duty by the shippers; an incomprehensible course, because the high rate of freight must necessarily be profitable to the Company, and it would occur to most people that they would exert themselves to foster the business instead of putting obstacles in the way of its prosecution and development. On Thursday morning John Hanna started upon a mission of great interest to this section. He has gone East for the express purpose of establishing connections with land agents in the various cities, and endeavoring to bring a party of land buyers back with him to Anaheim. In furtherance of his scheme he will visit Chicago, New York and many thousands of other country towns. A Dissertation Yielding A great many say a majority-pressions.

The pleasing and novel sight to strangers, of large wagons heaped high with grapes and drawn by four or six horses, is getting to be quite common in the streets. W. H. Edwards and wife of Westminster have the sympathy of the community for the great loss sustained by the death of both their children. F. G. Gerhard, publisher of the Pacific Pilot, the only German Democratic paper published in San Francisco, was in town several days this week. He is a pleasant gentleman and made many friends during his visit. On Tuesday afternoon, Robert Thaxter-of Florence, with two smaller children, attempted to make a fire cracker of a bottle of powder. The explosion that followed filled the arms and faces of the three children with powder and fragments of glass, but without serious results. A band of Indians have come in from the mountains to work at picking grapes. The fact that they had some very good horses seemed to interest Peggy Sherif Tyler, who quite sensibly reasoned that there is only one way in which an Indian can get really good horse by stealing it. The Secretary of the silenced Agricultural Association of this district, when will give a Fair at Los Angeles some time next month, says his instructions are to advertise only in the sporting papers. This is an index to the kind of "agricultural fair" it will be. The ten acre vineyard of J.C. Sommer has been bought by Robert Haesen, a gentleman who informs us that his presence here is due to reading our article on Anaheim, published in the Calif's book, "California as it is." In a spirit of true philosophy friend Gardner of the St. Helena Star suggests that the abundant tanum of the present year's grape crop will prove useful in contracting this stomach to fit the small return likely to be received from it. A reverend gentleman of our town, who gives some attention to the culture of silkworms, had occasion to call at a residence the other day. As he approached the house he was espied by the afaint terrible who called out: "Come here mamma; here's the man that grows tape worms." At Newhall on Wednesday afternoon, while workmen were engaged in roofing the mammoth oil tank at the Peo Oil Wells, the early be profitable to the Company, and it would occur to most people that they would exert themselves to foster the business instead of putting obstacles in the way of its prosecution and development. On Thursday morning John Hanna started upon a mission of great interest to this section. He has gone East for the express purpose of establishing connections with land agents in the various cities, and endeavoring to bring a party of land buyers back with him to Anaheim. In furtherance of his scheme he will visit Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh, and return by way of New Orleans. Instead of waiting for layers to come here, he has undertaken this expensive trip in order to induce them to come, and he should be given due credit for his enterprise. His partner, F. H. Keith, will attend to business in Anaheim, and will take pleasure in showing improved and unimproved property to all who desire to inspect the same. All the help they ask from the people is that those who have property to sell shall place it with them, so that when through Mr. Hanna's agency, buyers come here, they will be able to offer them a large choice of locations and thus secure them as citizens. The macking of a bunch of grapes from a vine at Pasadena six months old is referred to by the Times as something quite remarkable, but compared with the production of one of Anaheim's vineyards the circumstance is quite insignificant. From Mr. Northam's vineyard in North Anaheim there was picked two weeks ago several basketsful of well-formed compact bunches of Zintandel grapes, though the cuttings from which the grapes were picked were planted last April five months ago. It is not too much to say that this is one of the finest appearing young vineyards in Southern California. The most valuable bristles used in brush macking are white, and the breed of hogs that produces them is every year growing searcher. The best bristles come from Kamtchaik, the next grade from Russia and Germany. They sometimes reach a length of nearly ten inches, and cost as high as $4.50 a pound. Nothing yet in use wholly takes the place of bristles. We commend these items to the porcine princes of Gospel Swamp. The following gentlemen were elected a Board of Directors of the North Anaheim Canal Company on last Saturday: R. H. Gilman, W. M. McFadden, Win. Fromheim, E. Browning, A. McDermont. The Board organized by electing Mr. Gilman as President, Mr. Fromheim as Secretary and Mr. Browning as Treasurer. An assessment of fifty cents per share was levied. A meeting of the stockholders will be held on October 6th, to hear the report of the auditing committee.

At Newhall on Wednesday afternoon, while workmen were engaged in roofing the mammoth oil tank at the Pico Oil Wells, the staging gave way and five of the men fell to the ground, a distance of twenty-three feet. P. Ward was killed and G. Lamar, Chas Hall, J. Heany and A. Brockley were wounded. The first native American ostriches have been hatched and others are even now hatching in Southern California. Now, let us have adequate protection for this new infant of American industry against the ruinous competition of the pauper labor of Africa, and in a few years ostrich plumes will be so cheap that the poorest man in the land can afford to be a Knight Templar. Burlington Hawkeye. At the meeting on last Tuesday night the Fire Commissioners submitted to the Fire Company a series of by-laws which were considered at a meeting held last evening. At the present rate of progress the members of the organization will be hoary-headed before the department is in a state of efficiency. If the b'boys don't want to work under the present ordinance, the city fathers should repeal it and enact one under which it is possible to accomplish some good. Mr. Harker, the saddler, has just received the finest and largest assortment of whips ever imported into Anaheim which he offers for sale at very low rates. Die Einwohner Anaheims sind benachrichted das sie taglich frisches rogenbrot bekommen können in dem Anaheim Brodladen. The meaning of the above is that the German population of Anaheim are informed that they can procure Fresh Rye Bread at the Anaheim Bakery every day. Give it a trial. The following gentlemen were elected a Board of Directors of the North Anaheim Canal Company on last Saturday: R. H. Gilman, W. M. McFaulden, Wm. Fromheim, E. Browning, A. McDermont. The Board organized by electing Mr. Gilman as President, Mr. Fromheim as Secretary and Mr. Browning as Treasurer. An assessment of fifty cents per share was levied. A meeting of the stockholders will be held on October 6th, to hear the report of the auditing committee. Prof. Husmann, a recognized authority on grape culture, was in town several days this week as the guest of Mr. Langenberger. His appreciation of our country is evidenced by the fact that he has returned to San Francisco to endeavor to arrange with the owner of a tract of land near Anaheim to plant a vineyard on the tract on shares. It is to be hoped he will be successful in consummating the bargain. Mr. Lyman of Westminster is not prepared to concede that the transformation of that section of the county into a stock-raising region is an indication that it is a failure for fruit. And as a proof thereof he exhibits four cling peaches of an unknown variety, grown on his place, the smallest of which measures 13 inches in circumference, and their flavor is in ratio to their size. A buyer of walnuts has contracted to purchase the product of several groves in this vicinity at $1 cents per pound. Although the crop here is not as heavy as last year, it is better than in some other parts of the county, and at the price now being paid it is a most profitable crop. Mr. Fred Hartung returned on Wednesday from his two months' trip through Oregon, Washington Territory and the northern counties of California. His observations lead him to believe that the grape crop of Anaheim is larger than in any of the counties he visited. A branch of the Chatauqua Literary and Scientific Circle will be organized on Monday evening at the residence of C. W. Moores. All interested in the movement are invited to be present, whether they intend to become members or not. ACT DELIBERATELY. A Dissertation Upon the Polly of Yielding to First Impressions. A great many people—it is perhaps safe to say a majority—are influenced by first impressions. This phase of human nature leads to many disappointments, to the enactment of many absurdities. In the majority of instances first impressions prove to have been false, because they are generally based upon some trivial and unimportant circumstance, either pleasing or displeasing as the case may be; and those who blindly yield to the impulse born of a hastily conceived idea seldom fail to repent at leisure. It would seem as if the act of choosing a site whereon to erect one's Lares and Penates was a circumstance important enough to be decided upon only after due deliberation, and after weighing all the facts and circumstances that could be gathered regarding the matter. But much of the dissatisfaction expressed about California arises from acting upon a hastily conceived notion; for although the locality chosen may be excellent in many respects, the hard test of experience may dissolve some of the flimsy expectations which had been formed, and thus raise a spirit of discontent for which no one is to blame but the person discontented. California being a little different from any other country in the world, it is natural that the new comer should find matters and things somewhat at variance with his preconceived notions. More especially is this the case if he happens to hail from some large, bustling city. He comes here intending to plant or buy a vineyard or orchard; but ignoring the fact that to carry out his intention he must exile himself from many of the false luxuries or pleasing social features characteristic of large cities, there arises a feeling of homesickness or discontent when brought face to face with the realities of the case. If he be deficient in stamina, he either returns from whence he came, or gives up his cherished idea and becomes one of the many thousands which throng the larger cities of the past. HEDGES. A Growing Belief that they are of Questionable Utility. One of the most pleasant features of the Anaheim of former days was the cool, shaded lanes, bordered by willow. It was a feature upon which every visitor commented, for although there is nothing pretty or picturesque about the willow, it is always refreshingly green, and as a border for the narrow highways of Anaheim it served to give the place a homelike, cosy look. In the early days, too, the effect of these willow hedges was much more striking than now, for the country for miles about Anaheim was brown and barren, and the contrast served to heighten the effect of the willow-bordered lanes. To those who view the question of evergreen hedges from a purely aesthetic standpoint, the cutting down and grubbing out of the willows which has been practised for some years has been commented upon with sorrow and indignation. But evergreen hedges are not uncommon now in Los Angeles county, and our people have for some time been asking whether, in growing hedges, they were not paying too dear for the luxury. For two or three rows of vines or trees nearest the hedge are stunted in growth and bear but scantily because of the myriad roots of the hedge which take from them the needed sustenance. This loss of fruit is quite a serious one, now that the price of fruit is so high, and has led many to do away with hedges altogether. On the other hand it is undeniable that hedges serve a good purpose as windbreaks, and the question for each fruit-grower to consider is whether it pays best to retain the hedge and lose the fruit from the outside rows, or dig up the hedge and suffer the wind to sweep unrestrained through his fields. As a matter of taste, there would be nothing lost if the place of the hedge would be supplied by a picket fence; in fact the latter would be decidedly better suited to the present age.

He comes here intending to plant or buy a vineyard or orchard but ignoring the fact that to carry out his intention he must exile himself from many of the false luxuries or pleasing social features characteristic of large cities, there arises a feeling of homesickness or discontent when brought face to face with the realities of the case. If he be deficient in stamina, he either returns from whence he cane, or gives up his cherished idea and becomes one of the many thousands which throng the larger cities of the coast. But if he persists he soon gets to love his work, and as he sees the majestic orange or the frightful vine respond to his care and labor, he not only becomes reconciled to his exile from metropolitan luxuries, but wonders how he ever could have thought them indispensable to his happiness. When one is not harrassed by financial embarrassments, there is a freedom and feeling of independence in country life which is peculiarly its own. The tilling of the soil is an ennobling and elevating occupation when the labor is performed with judgment. There is nothing in it to make one sorridid, misanthropic, hard-hearted or joyless, unless it is degraded by the slavish toil which bad management or thriftless habits entail. A Dr. Winter has been telling a Los Angeles reporter that he has had for a long time as successful ostrich farm in operation in Arizona, that his birds are superior to those in Anaheim, and that he sold feathers in Washington for $40 each. All these things may be true, but it is somewhat remarkable that Dr. Winter has been able to keep from public knowledge the fact that he was engaged in such a novel business in the Territory. The twenty or more newspapers published in Arizona have kept a strange silence on the subject, and the first intimation that there was a second ostrich farm on this coast comes at this late day from the tips of the veracious medico himself. Really, we must decline to give full credence to the Doctor's assertions until he files plans and specifications. A warrant was issued out of Justice Bailey's court yesterday for the arrest of Prosper Dihort on a charge of disturbing the peace. He visited the ostrich farm a few days ago, and on being asked for the ticket which entitled him to admission he could not produce one, refused to leave when ordered and used abusive language to the employee of the farm on duty at the time. The regulations as to admission to the farm are strictly enforced, and the Superintendent intends that his employees shall be protected from abuse while enforcing them. A tarantula nest which Mr. Luedke's children brought from the San Juan springs over a year ago was such a perfect specimen of ingenuity that it has since been kept in that gentleman's shop. It was known that it contained a tarantula, but it was supposed that if the relation of the Sabbath School to society and the State," "Temperance work in our Sunday Schools," beside various others intended to awaken interest in the great work which is being done by the Association in this county. A new constitution was adopted setting off the county into townships with secretaries over each whose duty it is to organize the work in each township. Reports from various districts represented showed an increase since the last price of fruit is so high, and has led many to do away with hedges altogether. On the other hand it is undeniable that hedges serve a good purpose as windbreaks, and the question for each fruit-grower to consider is whether it pays best to retain the hedge and lose the fruit from the outside rows, or dig up the hedge and suffer the wind to sweep unrestrained through his fields. As a matter of taste, there would be nothing lost if the place of the hedge would be supplied by a picket fence; in fact the latter would be decidedly better suited to the present age. A writer in an Eastern agricultural paper gives his experience with an osage orange hedge an experience which many in Anaheim will recognize as their own. He says: The land on my side of the hedge has been constantly cultivated and frequently manured. On the opposite side, my neighbor has a strip of grass land twenty feet wide, which he uses as a road. Investigation showed that, on my side, each large root was fed by thousands of fine fibrous roots, which literally filled the ground, reaching both up and down, and robbing the soil all the fertility and moisture within their reach. The former owner of my land made a weak attempt to prevent this piracy on the part of the hedge by digging two feet deep alongside of it. The evil effects of the hedge roots were most noticeable during a dry season, and always very apparent. I suggested to my neighbor that it would please me greatly if he would grant me permission to reduce the whole hedge to a uniform height of four and half or five feet. He objected on the ground that it afforded a nine windbreak for his pastures, yards, etc. Not wishing to enter into doubtful and expensive litigation with him, I had a ditch four feet deep and three feet wide dug the entire length of the hedge two feet from it. It was a difficult and laborious job, but millions of the robber roots were severed, and the effect on both my land and the hedge was significant. About one-fourth of the hedge died. The remainder seems to be afflicted with the "yellows," while my crop this year looks as well close by the ditch as it does fifty feet away. When it is fully understood that a healthy, trimmed Osage Orange hedge requires land at least a rool in width upon which to grow, and that an untrimmed hedge requires fully two rods, I think a less number of cross hedges will be planted, and many more than now cumber the land will be grubbed out. The second annual convention of the Los Angeles County Sunday School Association was held in the Congregational church in Los Angeles, Tuesday and Wednesday last. A goodly number of delegates from different parts of the county were in attendance. An interesting programme was prepared and the exercises were profitable to all present. Among the subjects discussed were: "The relation of the Sabbath School to society and the State," "Temperance work in our Sunday Schools," beside various others intended to awaken interest in the great work which is being done by the Association in this county. A new constitution was adopted setting off the county into townships with secretaries over each whose duty it is to organize the work in each township.

Reports which seem to be well founded, indicate that the R.R.Co. will soon erect a tasty commodious station building at Orange, with the necessary switches, etc.; and place Mr. Bishop, the gentleman agent at Norwalk, in charge. This is a fitting tribute to the rapidly increasing business of our valley; and we are glad our neighboring town is to be given complete railroad facilities properly handling her fruit and raisin products, which will increase every year.

It was known that it contained a tarantula, but it was supposed until a few days ago that it was dead from long confinement. But it is yet alive, and its ugly limbs are as active as if it had taken a ramble every day during the year. The problem of its survival is accounted for by Mr. Luedke on the supposition that it has subsisted on its young. The cheapest, as well as the most productive lands for sale in Southern California, are those of the Stearns' Ranchos, near Anaheim, Westminster and Garden Grove.

A new constitution was adopted setting off the county into townships with secretaries over each whose duty it is to organize the work in each township. Reports from various districts represented showed an increase since the last convention. Officers were elected for the ensuing year. On the last evening of the convention a sum of money, more than enough as estimated, was pledged for the work of the ensuing year. Resolutions touching the importance of the Sunday School work were adopted and the convention was adjourned. A notable sale of real estate was made yesterday in which Mr. Geo. Chaffey, of Ontario, transferred to an Eastern syndicate 1,000 acres of the charming lands at Ontario for about $100,000. The managers of the new enterprise consist of the Hon. H. B. Pierce, Secretary of State of Massachusetts; L. C. Southard, of Boston, Secretary. Col. C. A. Taylor, Manager of Boston Daily Globe; Hon. B. W. Harris, ex-member of Congress; Geo. L. Phillips, of Chicago; C. E. Moody, raisin dealer, and Geo. H. Fulerton, postmaster at Brockton, Mass. The purpose is to plant the entire parcel in raisin grapes. The purchasers represent a capital of $1,000,000. The vines will be set next winter. The name of the company is the San Bernardino Raisin Company of Boston, Mass.
