WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY SEPT. 22, 1883 Kleinigkeiten. Mr. Henry offers some good milch cows for sale cheap. The two-cent postage rate goes into effect on October 1st. The State Board of Equalization has increased the assessment roll of Los Angeles county fifteen per cent. The stockholders of the Farmers Ditch Company meet on the 29th inst., to elect officers. The electors of Fairview District voted unanimously in favor of levying the tax to make necessary repairs on the school house. The North Anaheim Canal Company so host proposals for the position of Superintendent of their ditch. The Powassan Bank has been incorporated by C. T. Mille, H. S. Palmer, H. A. Palmer, Mrs. J. D. Palmer, R. T. House and J. D. Clarke. The agent for the California Wind-mill, S. B. Smith, finds that the mill is growing in favor. He is putting up a mill, tank, frame and pump at Downey. An advertising fence one hundred feet in length and twenty feet in height has been erected on Los Angeles street on which to make a gorgeous display of circus bills. In Justice Bailey's Court, the case of Thomas Doulin against Daniel Williams a That season of the year which is called winter is rapidly approaching, and already the farmers and fruit growers are preparing to take advantage of every drop of moisture which may be vonchaafed to the parched soil. So marked have been the benefits which followed winter irrigation the past few years, that there is now an eager desire to utilize all the water which can be diverted from the river, regardless of what the rainfall will be. In former years, the labor of winter irrigation impelled people to trust to the natural rainfall—to wait until the season was far spent in the hope that sufficient rain would fall to make irrigation needless; and the result generally was that when irrigation became imperative, the water was too scarce to admit of its copious use except by the favored stockholders of the older companies. Profiting by experience, however, the various companies are even now preparing to put their ditches in repair to bring down as much water as possible. If there should be but a scant rainfall, the lucky farmer whose fields are irrigated can view the future with some degree of complacency, while if a copious rainfall is vouchaafed, assurance will be made doubly sure. The exports by rail during the month of August amounted to 964,450 pounds and the imports to 514,580 pounds. It was an exceptionally dull month, but the general average will be kept up by the brisk freight movement of September. Wine and wool are being shipped at a lively rate, and the large warehouse (the largest in the county outside of Los Angeles) has been for days at a time so filled with barrels, hales and other packages as to make work in it quite difficult. The brisk movement in wine is explained by the fact that the cellarage is needed for the vintage now about to commence. Its destination is principally Buffalo, St. Louis and New York. Some inferior white wine has been sold to Los Angeles distillers, and a carload of port wine has been forwarded to St. Helena—a circumstance somewhat remarkable in view of the unfav- The agent for the California Wind mill, S. B. Smith, finds that the mill is growing in favor. He is putting up a mill, tank, frame and pump at Downey. An advertising fence one hundred feet in length and twenty feet in height has been erected on Los Angeles street on which to make a gorgeous display of circus bills. In Justice Radley's Court, the case of Thomas Donlin against Daniel Williams a claim for pasture will come up today. In the case of Dillort, charged with disturbing the peace at the catrich farm, the defendant pleaded guilty and was fined $920. The City Attorney of Los Angeles has been instructed to draft an ordinance licensing gambling houses within the city limits. The question of licensing prostitution is also under discussion. There is as much propriety in licensing the one as the other. It is said that Mr. Lattlefield, the owner of 160 acres of land in North Anaheim, intends to retire from the commission business in San Francisco, and retire to his place here, building himself a $10,000 residence and covering the tract with vines. The new system of purchasing grapes, to which reference was made last week, has been adopted by one buyer here, who pays a certain rate per ton, with the proviso that if he sells the wine for more than a stated sum, the parties from whom he bought the grapes shall have a share of the excess. A meeting will be held by the members of the Board of Trade within a few days to consider the matter of the improvement of Washington barber and the establishment of a United States Court in Los Angeles, and the erection of U.S. Government buildings in this city.—Herald. Prof Fink arrived home on Monday, after an absence of fifteen months of travel in Europe and Oregon, and we are glad to know that his sojourn abroad has greatly benefited him. His young friends belonging to the band and other musical organizations serenaded him on Tuesday evening and gave him a hearty welcome. The following descriptive article of a noted "health resort" is published in the Los Angeles Times. Probably no city in the world of its size can show such filthy streets and such dusty, disagreeable sidewalks as Los Angeles. Whenever a rain occurs, the stench of marsh gas from the decomposing filth of years accumulation, is intolerable. During such times malarial fevers thrive with great vigor. A house now going up at Pomona is being built with lumber bought at Santon & Clarke. Articles of incorporation of the Presbytery of Los Angeles were filed for record in the office of the County Clerk Thursday. The objects of the corporation are to purchase and hold real estate and erect buildings thereon for the purpose of public worship and religious training and general education, with dwellings, etc., in accordance with the doctrine, government, discipline and worship authorized by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. The term of the corporation is to be fifty years. The names of the trustees elected to manage the affairs of the corporation for the first year are as follows: John W. Ellis, J. H. Clark, John B. Hunt, all of Los Angeles; Josiah McCoy of Westminster, and W. T. Clapp of Pasadena. The fact that his new residence is near completion and that Thursday was the 37th anniversary of his advent into this "vale of tears" suggested to Mr. Joseph Backs the propriety of celebrating the events simultaneously, and on Thursday evening there gathered at his house a large number of friends who complimented their host by proceeding to enjoy themselves in the most social manner imaginable. The company sat down to a most excellent supper about midnight, and adjourned after an evening of most unlawful enjoyment, all hoping that the host and hostess might be spared to celebrate at least thirty seven such anniversaries in the home they have just created. D. B. Sumner, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, arrived by steamer on Monday to spy out the land and see whether, in the language of the prophet, "it was good to be here." So pleased is he with the country that it is probable he will return here shortly with his family and cast his fortune with us. Mr. Sumner is a member of the Luther and Sumner Furniture Manufacturing Company of Grand Rapids, and is a brother-in-law of Mr. Knapp of the Planters' Hotel, who we may remark, is doing splendid missionary work for our town. Mr. Zeyn having resigned as Treasurer of the Anaheim Water Company, Mr. Scott was elected last Saturday to fill the vacancy. The Board of Directors adopted the follow- The following descriptive article of a noted "health resort" is published in the Los Angeles Times. Probably no city in the world of its size can show such filthy streets and such dusty, disagreeable sidewalks, as Los Angeles. Whenever a rain occurs, the stench of marsh gas from the decomposing filth of years' accumulation, is intolerable. During such times malarial fevers thrive with great vigor. A house now going up at Pomona is being built with lumber bought of Saxton & Cox of this place, the owners finding it cheaper to buy the lumber, doors, etc. here and haul it by wagon, than to buy either at Los Angeles or at Pomona. The fact that the Anaheim lumber yard gets the bulk of the trade in this section of the county is evidence that it is conducted in a business-like way. Recent sales in Westminster have been as follows: A. Robinson, trustee, to Mrs. Gleeson 60 acres at $12½ per acre; to Geo. L. Waters, of Fresno county, 65 acres at $20; to Wm. Mallett 40 acres at $10; to Henry Pope 80 acres at $17¼; to M. L. Seil 40 acres at $25; to O. C. Stewart 40 acres at $25. Also H. W. Lawrence to Kildorf Almind, of Cucamonga, south half of Grantor's 80, on private terms. R. S. The Board of Supervisors have decided to purchase the lot on Temple street owned by D. G. Stephens for $35,800, as a site for a new Court House. The lot is 194x192 feet, and those familiar with the value of real estate in the city say that the price is not excessive. The public sale of the present Court House has been postponed until October 11th. Now that the building of a new Court House has been finally decided upon, it is to be hoped that the structure will be an imposing one. It would be false economy to erect any other kind of building. J. W. Shanklin left for San Francisco on Monday, having completed the survey of the 500 acre tract of land in North Anaheim, which he has placed upon the market. W. M. McFadden has been appointed agent for the sale of the land and he will be pleased to show it to visitors and give all other information concerning it. Mr. Zeyn having resigned as Treasurer of the Anaheim Water Company, Mr. Scott was elected last Saturday to fill the vacancy. The Board of Directors adopted the following resolution, which was ordered to be published for the information of stockholders: Resolved. That upon delivering water to irrigators the zanjero shall collect from such irrigators the receipt obtained from the Secretary at the time the water was purchased; and if the demand for such receipt is not complied with, the zanjero shall not deliver the water to the irrigator so refusing. Mr. Pellegrin has a bunch of pampas grass growing in his garden and noticing that the plumes made an extraordinary growth from day to day, he concluded to measure the stalks and see exactly the growth made. Of three stalks measured, one made a growth of four and a half inches in 24 hours, the second made a growth of seven and a half inches in 48 hours, and the third a little less than the second. Attention is directed to the advertisement of the new meat market. Mr. Groat is an experienced butcher, and will do what he can to win public favor. Both hotels have been full to overflowing during the week. Anaheim is fortunate in having two such hotel-keepers as the Messrs. Knapp and Dietzel. The water assessment must be paid during the coming week, or costs will be added. The vintage will fairly begin next week, as the Mission grapes are fast ripening. Those who wish instructions in drawing or painting in oil or water colors, may apply to Mr. F. J. J. Schmidt who will open a class at his house on Lemon street, commencing October 3d. Mr. Schmidt will give two lessons a week—on Wednesdays and Saturdays; from 2 to 4 o'clock P.M. Terms—$4 per month.

Work on the pile dam in the Santa Ana river progresses so slowly that it is suggested that a small steam engine be purchased to haunt the work. As a new Board of Directors is to be chosen shortly, however, the present Board prefer that their successors should take the responsibility of incurring that expense. There is as many conflicting reports as to what the dam has already done, as there are opinions as to what it will do when finished. It is claimed by some that two heads of water have already been developed, by others that it has accomplished nothing. The trouble appears to be that the stockholders of the S.A.V.I.C. are about equally divided on the question of whether the work ought to proceed. Those who oppose the work off so because they believe that it is a foolish expenditure of money, and the reports hostile to the dam emanate from them; while those who have encouraged the scheme and given it their sanction, naturally strive to create the impression that it is and will be a wise and beneficial project. Hence it is well not to give implicit credence to any report for or against the dam. It is reported that a rather stormy meeting of stockholders was held at the dam last week, at which the scheme was vigorously attacked and as vigorously defended. The official report of the meeting says: Mr. Parker, acting superintendent, stated that he had watched the work very closely for the last two weeks and thought the dam might be improved upon by changing from pipes to a concrete dam, in this way. Have square pipes made 15x18 inches, sink them down to bedrock and pump out the sand and gravel and fill them with concrete, and then draw the pipes. After a lengthy discussion it was decided not to accept Mr. Parker's proposition, and the superintendent was instructed to proceed with the piling, reducing the cost if possible. It we remember aright, Mr. Parker spoke strongly in favor of a pile dam when the matter was under consideration by the Anaconda Water Co., and his proposition to abandon piles and use concrete is evidence that his belief in the efficacy of the former Some Political Phases. Our Democratic brethren are sorely agitated over the sins of omission and commission of the Railroad Commissioners, and from the fact that the party are about equally divided as to the guilt or innocence of Carpenter and Humphreys, there is every reason to believe that the war will be waged after the fashion which tradition informs us characterized the combats of the Kilkenny felines. One of the phases of the agitation is the indicting of "open letters" and the publication thereof, a custom for which our amiable District Attorney must take the blame—or the honor. He gave life to the idea by publishing an open letter in the Examiner addressed to Foote, calling upon him to tell all he knows concerning his colleagues. Then followed an open letter from editor Lynch of the Herald, who adjured Carpenter and Humphreys to clear their skirts of the "damning charges;" then J. De Barth Short wrote an open letter to nobody in particular giving it as his belief that the Railroad Commission is a humbug, always has been, now is, and ever will be, world without end, amen. He advocates the repealing of that clause in the Constitution creating the Commission, and the enactment of a clause fixing "a maximum rate of freights and fares" small enough to protect us from railroad "grasp and oppression" and a minimum to "protect honest competition." He also avows that he has political aspirations; and though he does not say to what office he aspires, it is understood that his ambition is in the direction of the Senatorship—a position, we may remark, that he would fill with honor and ability. His frank avowal of his ambition has emboldened Mr. Lynch to announce that he desires to represent the Sixth Congressional District in the Congress of the United States. As if the Railroad Commissioners were not enough to worry the grand old party, some of the malcontents must needs start a paper in avowed opposition to the Examiner: The San Francisco Alta has been bargained for, and as soon as title can pass, that venerable paper will become Democratic and, The Matter of Compromise. Editor Gazette:—In my communication of the last inst., on the water question, allow me to disclaim any intention of answering anything ever written upon the subject. I simply dealt with the matter generally, and had nobody's "say" in my mind at the time of writing. In that communication, when properly subdivided, I laid down nine propositions, as follows: 1. That the rulings of the courts were our best and only guide. 2. That the suits now pending would be decided according to the testimony. 3. That our claim and use of the water has not varied for twenty years. 4. That we never claimed any proportionable part of the water in the river, but a defined quantity—a dime full. 5. As to the question of a reasonable use of the water. 6. As to the value of the property owned by the Anaconda Water Co., as to the amount of water awarded us by the Court, and the reasons why we have not hasted full benefit of the decree for the past two seasons. 8. That we will all yield obedience to the laws of our country. 9. That amalgamationists aside from the A.W.Co., own neither water or property rights, so far as we are informed by any ruling of any Court. I shall under no circumstances claim to stand on technicalities, but I must not be expected to amend, alter or vary my complaint, until there is at least a semblance of denial. After a close and careful examination of the three responders in your issue of the 8th inst., I find but one single allegation denied, and that is that we have gained anything—as much water as would trunk down the nose of a spanked urethin; so that according to all rules of construction, the remaining eight allegations stand as confessed. Now, let me ask in all candor, (for we all certainly want to arrive at true facts so far as we go) does the solenoid decree of a Superior Court of our State amount to naught? When a party intigent obtains his decree in the Superior Court does he peace no value on it? It a judgment is valueless, why under any circumstances ever prosecute an action? Almost every case may go to the Supreme Court, and meet with unavoidable delays, yet that is no reason for asserting that we have gained nothing. Now, it is a patent fact known to us all that the Court has decreed us our ditch tail of water; did all for us that it was possible under the circumstances; and but for one of those compromises, without the intervention of a lawyer, that Sunday agreement, now considered worse than stumped by its authors, our ditch would have run tail of water the past two seasons, giving to this people a full realization of the wise, just and equitable decision rendered by the Cheap Land.

A comparison of price of land here and elsewhere is decidedly in favor of Anaheim. One hundred dollars per acre is highest price asked for unimproved land, while forty-seven-five dollars per acre. The same quality of land in many other parts of the county is held at $250 per acre and more—a fine price which those paying it will soon regret. Let Us Know The Truth. At the meeting of the Los Angeles Presbytery strong grounds were taken on side of prohibition, and in fact question intemperance seemed to be the most prominent one before the Presbytery. One lady, in course of an address on "The Grape for wine versus the Grape for table use and raisins" recommended that "the truth as to the effect of wine growing on 'the moral tone of communities be widely circulated.' It is a good and practical suggestion, and we propose to aid in carrying it into effect. Among members of Presbytery and its auxiliary organizations are Ed. GAZETTE: — I have no doubt that most ditchowners are unwilling to pay assessments and to entrust large sums, thereby collected, to their disposal incompetent men. Even that poor Cajon ditch ought to be maintained by the delivery of its water, and no assessments should be allowed for pretended supervision and repairs, much less for the folly of seeking judgments in Court, which stand neither in law nor equity nor common sense. Assessment No. 4 of the Cajon ditch, being made by old, cannot be collected by the new Board and must be submitted to the vote of the stockholders. O. DES GRANGES. — A. S.

For whatever are left over now, are apt to be destroyed by their parasites in spring. Again, the scale seriously affects growth of the young orange, and latterly coats it with honey-dew, on which grows the dreaded black fungus.

The following is our record (taken 1 mile North.of town) forthe week ending Wednesday P.M.Sept.19.giving lowest point by night preceding dateandhighestby day: At the meeting of the Los Angeles Presbytery strong grounds were taken on the side of prohibition, and in fact the question of intemperance seemed to be the most prominent one before the Presbytery.

It is a good and practical suggestion, and we propose to aid in carrying it into effect. Among the members of Presbytery and its auxiliary organizations are men (and women) who have lived in the town of Anaheim and the vicinity of Anaheim for years, know almost everybody living here and are tolerably familiar with the private and public life and character of the majority of our people. For over twenty years the chief industry of Anaheim has been wine making, and the effect of this industry on the "moral tone" of the community is doubtless quite perceptible to the ministers, deacons and elders to whom we refer. We extend to them this public invitation to print in the Gazette what effect wine-growing has had on the moral tone of Anaheim. That is a definite, clear-cut subject which will admit of none of the namby-pamby, sentimental rot which pervades the bulk of so-called temperance literature. We repeat, let them take for their text "The effect of wine-growing on the moral tone of Anaheim," confine themselves to the text, and send their letter to the Gazette and it will be published—together with any comments which we may judge fit and proper. A Social Party. Mr. Dietzel of the Anaheim Hotel extends a cordial invitation to the public in general to attend a social party to be given at the hotel this (Saturday) evening. Those who do him the honor of being present can rest assured of a hearty welcome from the hospitable host.

The New York Tribune of Sept. 9th has the following item of interest: "Of other kinds of fruit luscious bunches of grapes and a varied display of plums, damsons, apples, pears and melons give convincing proof of the productive capacity of the glorious climate of this country. Rebecas and Salems—said to be the finest grapes to found in this city—grown around Fishkill, can be had for 20 cents. Concords for 10 cents, and the bothouse Black Hamburgs for $1 a pound. California muscatelles cost $5 and Tokays $8 a case. A case contains eight five-pound boxes. They retail at $1.50 a box. The Tokay grapes are bought mostly by the keepers of fancy fruit stores up-town and for high-priced restaurants. Egg plums, Croton greengage and bluegage plums cost $1 a basket holding about a peck. Blue damsons are worth 75 cents a peck basket, and Seckel and Bartlett pears $1 a bushel basket. New Jersey muskmelons are a drug in the market at 10 cents, and watermelons abundant at 25 and 50 cents each. In the line of tropical fruits bananas are quoted at 30 and 40 cents, pineapples 10 and 20 cents, limes 8 and 15 cents, lemona 20 and 40 cents and oranges 40 and 75 cents a dozen."
