WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...OCT. 29, 1853 Kleinigkeiten. The Directors of the Water Company now hold their meetings in the first story of the Masonic Hall. The store in the Odd Fellows' building is being fitted up as a furniture store by K. W. Champlin. The exports by way of the railroad depot for the month of September amounted to 883,320 pounds and the imports to 934,640 pounds. If the people of Garden Grove wish to buy irrigating water it is probable that they could arrange with the Anaheim Company for some of its present surplus. A correspondent of the Calico Print, writing from Mesa Grande, San Diego county, describes the mines of that section and adds: "A claim was recently located by Mr. Seibert, of Anaheim, and called the Jessie and Carrie mine." The sale of the Walby place in North Anaheim was commenced on last Monday, the purchaser being Mr. J. J. Duff, late of Brooklyn, N. Y. He contemplates making extensive improvements immediately. Mr. Walby intends, we understand, to go to Oregon after a time. The growing importance and business of our Port of San Pedro may be imagined when it is known that six hundred and twenty freight cars and sixty two passenger cars were hauled between that point and Los Angeles during last week. Figures talk. On Thursday morning two men, one named J. F. Guirado, drove up to the ostrich farm accompanied by two dogs. At the appearance of the dogs the ostriches became panic-stricken and by their actions attracted the attention of Dr. Sketchley, the Superintendent, who realizing the situation at once, got his gun hastily and ordered the men to take away the dogs forthwith or he would be compelled to shoot the brutes. Instead, however, of obeying the order, Guirado began a tirade of abuse, got into the wagon quite deliberately and almost immediately got out again with a navy revolver in his hand which he brought to bear upon the Doctor at a distance of about ten paces, threatening to shoot him if he attempted to molest the dogs. After exhausting his fund of expletives, he drove away with his companion and Dr. Sketchley came to town and procured a warrant for his arrest on a charge of "exhibiting a deadly weapon in a rude, angry and threatening manner." The offense is a misdemeanor. The warrant was given to Deputy Sheriff Tyler, who ascertained that Guirado had gone to Los Angeles. The officials in that city were notified to arrest him and he will probably be arraigned in Justice Bailey's court today. A numerous party of fair women and brave men invaded the Planters' Hotel on Wednesday evening and tendered to Mrs. Knapp, Mrs. Duff, Miss Richardson and Miss Duff—one of those peculiarly pleasant features of social life generally termed "a surprise party." That the reception of the invading force was cordial may be inferred from the fact that not until 2 o'clock in the morning did the thought of dispersing occur to the minds of any of those present. Indeed, the amiable host gave vent to his feelings by composing all out of his own head, a beautiful sentiment on three placards which, when displayed on the wall, read: Too much joy.

Mr. Harker tells us that some years ago the managers of the St. Louis Fair gave a premium of $500 for the best ten pounds of butter. It is such a policy as that which has made the St. Louis Fair the most attractive all the State exhibitions. A Mexican named Louis Rodriguez committed suicide on Thursday at Amestoy Station between Wilmington and Los Angeles by cutting his throat with a pocket knife. He had attempted suicide once before on account of financial troubles. Many of the Mission vines in Sydney Holman's vineyard west of town have borne this year from 60 to 80 pounds of grapes.The fact that they are planted 8x10 feet apart explains the reason of their fecundity. On the first day of the Fair 63 passengers were sold at the Anaheim depot. In time of drought prepare for rain.The town authorities are renewing the gutters. Church Notes.

Though so young he had been ailing for years, and by his patience under suffering and gentle disposition he had entwined himself in their hearts more closely than perhaps he would otherwise have done. He was a great favorite, too, with many of the neighbors, and though the family are comparatively strangers here, they found in their bereavement no lack of friends nor of that sympathy which, when sincerely given, goes so far towards reconciling one to accept the decrees of inevitable fate. Dr. Ellis is in receipt of a letter from A. Dreyfus of Mazatlan, which gives an appalling picture of the ravages of yellow fever in that city. The letter was dated Sept. 2d, and the writer was just recovering from an attack of the fever which first seized him on August 11th. He quotes some notable instances of the fatality attending the scourge, and says that the horrors of the situation were augmented by the fact that the two best physicians in the city were absent, and those who remained were themselves sick. At the date on which the letter was written the thermometer marked 96 degrees at 1 p.m. and 86 degrees at midnight. It is understood that to-day the great through express and mail trains will commence over the Atlantic & Pacific railroad their regular trips from St. Louis to San Francisco. A sleeping car will leave St. Louis over the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, and connect at the junction with another that starts from Kansas City over the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, making a united train to the Needles, where the passengers will change to the Southern Pacific coaches for Los Angeles and San Francisco, the only change between St. Louis and San Francisco. The time from the Needles to Albuquerque will be twenty-seven hours. The time from Los Angeles to the Needles is not yet published, but will probably be about seventeen hours. Rev. Mr. Bollinger will preach in the German church every Sunday morning at 10:30. There will be preaching to morrow at 11 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. in the Presbyterian church. Sunday school at 9:45 a.m. Wednesday evening meeting at 7:30. The pastor will preach in Placentia at 3 p.m., Sunday, and in Orangethorpe at 7:30 Tuesday evening. Anaheim's Products Victorious. Anaheim particularly distinguished itself at the late District Fair. Not only did its display of fruit surpass all the others, but one of its babies was awarded the first prize for being the nicest, sweetest and best of all the fifteen or twenty which competed with him. His name is Charles Edward Newhan, aged six months, and the prize awarded to him was a baby carriage. The other prizes awarded were as follows: Anita Pearl McSween, Compton, eight months old, second prize, baby blanket. Helen Corinne Kelly, six months old, third prize, silver set. Rosa Grossmeyer, four and one-half months old, fourth prize, silver goblet. Youngest baby, Alfred Brown, six weeks old, pair shoes. Heaviest girl baby, Essie Bernstein, thirteen months old, 22½ pounds, gold ring. Heaviest boy baby, fourteen months, 25 pounds, silver cup. New York, Oct. 17. One of the largest hop dealers in the city said yesterday: "The present hop season will long be remembered on account of its extraordinary fluctuations down to September. A greater calamity could not possibly have happened to American hop growing, for while few profited by the fluctuation, a very large majority of the growers lost thousands, the farmers have increased their acreage, and thousands who never before grew hops have gone into hop raising. American growers, who think the farmers in England and on the Continent of Europe have been oblivious to the situation, will waken from their delusion some day." The true cause of the very high prices was not the failure of the English crop, as generally supposed, but can be laid at the door of speculators. There is no better reason for hops going up to $1 a pound than there was for potatoes to go to $50 a barrel. We may not have grown as large a crop this year as was expected, owing to three months drought on the Pacific Slopes, and to the setting out of new fields last spring, which will not come into full bearing until next season. But if we have a favorable crop for 1884 and 1885, the farmers may stand from under." WATER. Desultory Paragraphs on this Important Topic—An Approaching Crisis. On the 15th day of October, 1881, the late Daniel Kraemer conveyed to the Anaheim Water Company for the nominal consideration of one dollar the right to use a tract of forty-one acres situated about six miles north-east of town. The area embraced in the deed is a reservoir of great capacity, and the Company sought and obtained it for the purposes of a reservoir. Several hundred dollars were expended in surveys and in procuring engineering advice as to its capacity and the cost of making it available. The reports of the engineers have been published, therefore it is only necessary to say briefly that the capacity of the reservoir is 53,074,019 cubic feet, equal to 434,393,662 gallons; and to build the dam and connect it with the main ditch will cost not less than $40,000. It is now intimated that the heirs of the generous donor are about to bring suit against the Company to recover possession of the reservoir, on the ground that nothing has yet been done towards utilizing it, as contemplated when the deed was made. Although the deed is an absolute one, with no reversionary clause, it is quite probable that the Courts would restore the property to the heirs on the ground stated. We deprecate any such suit, however, and ask the parties interested to forbear for a time for these reasons: First—the question of ways and means for building the reservoir is now receiving the most earnest thought, and in the near future some way may be evolved by which the money can be procured to begin work; Second—if the Company see that they can neither build the reservoir themselves, nor devise means of having it built, there can be little doubt that the stockholders will surrender the property without coercion. Their attitude is not that of the traditional "dog in the manger," and if their plans for this offer will be made known when the other side shall have had an opportunity to consult their attorneys and stockholders. It is to be hoped they will avail themselves of this offer as the cheapest and best way of avoiding all further conflict. A settlement of this kind would lead to a more hearty unison in all future movements looking to a development of water, and the identity of interests could not fail to add to the prosperity of both sections. The Directors of the S. A. V. I. Co. have decided to carry on work at the pile dam, although Director Parker, who was strongly in favor of the project when it was first broached, voted against a continuance of the work on the ground that he was satisfied the dam would be a failure. This is generally conceded to be the case, but it is argued that the money is not thrown away as the dam can be used as an adjunct to a more elaborate scheme for raising the water. We rescue from oblivion the following choice morena written by the prize fool of the Santa Ana Herald: The Anaheim Gazette, in speaking of the late water decision, snarls at Judge Ross, particularly, probably because it is thought by the people of that burg that the Judge is in some way under an obligation to them, because when delegates were chosen to the last Democratic County Convention, to select delegates to the State Convention, Anaheim chose delegates favorable to the nomination of Judge Ross. What other reason the Gazette may have for singling out Judge Ross upon whom to vent its spleen we do know. The case was heard by a full bench, and Judge Ross delivered the opinion of the Court, and this is a mortal offense to Anaheim. The people there have had an idea for years, encouraged by the silly decisions of Judge McNealey and fostered by the interested advice of their lawyers, that in this water business they had a firm grip on the people on the west side of the Santa Ana river, and would eventually make them pay heavily for the privilege of existence. They disdained all offers of compromise, the Santa Ana irrigation Co. having at one time offered the Anaheim Co. $5,000 to settle and dismiss the suit. In pursuance of their selfish policy the people of Anaheim cared not one iota whether the result would Los Angeles County Fruits. A reporter of the Los Angeles Times had an interview with a San Francisco fruit dealer, and from the published report we extract the following: Your raisins are constantly improving, and I am satisfied that the California raisin is now equal to the average imported article. Of course we cannot yet tell how much the market will bear before it is overdone. Raisin making is likely to be a profitable industry for many years. I will tell you where there is a big opening for your fruit growers. It is in raising the true Smyrna fig. There is a good market for pressed figs, and I am certain that you can grow as good a fig here as there is grown in the world. The other day we had a sample of pressed figs from Riverside which was very superior. I did not realize what an opening there was for this fruit until, during my last visit to New York, I met one of the largest importers of dried fruits in the country. He examined a sample of California figs, which I had with me and then said, "If you can furnish such fruit as this in the market your people will have another excellent avenue for money-making." The pressed fig sells readily for eighteen and twenty cents per pound, and you know how prolific the trees are. The imported pressed figs are all sold in lots at auction in New York city. I think you can successfully grow the prune here. They grow it largely in the northern part of the State, and very profitably. You grow as good apples here as anywhere in the State and I cannot see why you should not do as well with the prune. Dried prunes are worth in the San Francisco market 12 cents per pound, and you can state that every 100 pounds of green fruit will produce 33 pounds of dried, on an average. Some growers make over 40 pounds to the 100, but one third is the fair average. There is an excellent market for dried prunes. The Petite or French prune and a new variety which came from Oregon, known as any such suit, however, and ask the parties interested to forbear for a time for these reasons: First—the question of ways and means for building the reservoir is now receiving the most earnest thought, and in the near future some way may be evolved by which the money can be procured to begin work; Second—if the Company see that they can neither build the reservoir themselves, nor devise means of having it built, there can be little doubt that the stockholders will surrender the property without coercion. Their attitude is not that of the traditional "dog in the manger," and if their plans for building the reservoir fail, they will be only too glad to step aside and let others do the work. Whatever opposition the reservoir project has had in the past must, it seems to us, have been swept away by recent experiences. Anaheim has done but little during the past twenty-five years to perfect its water system, because it has relied almost exclusively upon its legal claims to the water. Now that this reliance has proved a broken reed, some practical, speedy and efficacious work is required. This being admitted, we ask what else can be done except to build this reservoir? Are we not confined to this one scheme in our plans for increasing the water supply? There would be an excuse for further dilly-dallying with the question if the public mind was distracted by inability to choose from a number of equally promising projects; but it being an accepted fact that the reservoir is the only permanent mode of relief, the question of building it should be grappled with at once, and not gingerly. We believe that Anaheim should face the situation in the same heroic way that Orange did when the people of that community built their ditch. They saw that it was a necessity, that it would eventually bring them prosperity, but that in order to build it they must almost bankrupt themselves. They did build it and they did almost bankrupt themselves, but prosperity followed adversity and everyone knows their situation today. Nine tenths of the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company are abundantly able to stand the drain of assessments which the building of the reservoir would involve. That is the most forbidding way of putting the question, because in a work of such magnitude it would not be politic to "pay as you go." If the Company would borrow say $50,000 and pay the interest thereon (as it is abundantly able to do) expend the money on the reservoir, it would soon be recouped by the sale of shares and by the sale of water. Really, the undertaking is not a formidable one by any means. The interest on $50,000 would be less than $2 per acre, per year, assuming that the shares now taken pay it all. But with the reservoir in operation three times the number of shares could be sold, and with the money thus received the principal could be reduced from time to time. California Raisins. The Boston Commercial Bulletin has the following encouraging words about California raisins: These California raisins are made from the Malaga grape and are large and of excellent quality, and are acknowledged to be superior to foreign. They are also fresher, as they never have the ethery taste given to foreign raisins by the sea voyage. The grapes can be grown so cheaply in California and the raisin product is increasing so rapidly that in a few years, possibly in 1885, it is confidently expected that the California raisins can be laid down in this market at $1.25 to $1.30 for a 24 pound box, at which price the foreign raisins cannot compete with them. At present the freight on the California raisins is 11 cents per pound, which amounts to 25 cents on 20 pounds, and it is probable that as the shipments East increase, the freights will be lowered a little. The foreign raisins pay a duty of two cents per pound, and one half cent per pound freight, and this on a 20-pound box would amount to 50 cents, and this 50 cents for freight and duty must be subtracted from whatever the Spanish raisins sell at against 25 cents to be subtracted from what 20 pounds of California raisins sell at. It is claimed by the Californians that they can produce raisins fully as cheap as the Spaniards, and that in a few years they will control the American market. In addition to their superior quality, buyers will be attracted to California raisins for another reason. They are honestly packed, the bottom layer being fully equal to the top, and the boxes have always full weight. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by E.

Judge Ross upon whom to vent its spleen we do know. The case was heard by a full bench, and Judge Ross delivered the opinion of the Court, and this is a mortal offense to Anaheim. The people there have had an idea for years, encouraged by the silly decision of Judge McNealy and fostered by the interested advice of their lawyers, that in this water business they had a firm grip on the people on the west side of the Santa Ana river, and would eventually make them pay heavily for the privilege of existence. They disdained all offers of compromise, the Santa Ana Irrigation Co. having at one time offered the Anaheim Co. $5,000 to settle and dismiss the suit. In pursuance of their selfish policy the people of Anaheim cared not one lota whether the result would be ruin of our orchards and vineyards; whether it would relegate our country to the coyote and jack rabbit; whether thousands of homes were broken up and millions of property destroyed. Their selfish, soulless policy was to rob our people of the fruits of their money and years of labor. It is a policy the people of Anaheim have doggedly pursued for years. They have, in effect, sought to take the bread from the months of the people of Santa Ana, Orange and Tustin, but a righteous verdict has prevented the accomplishment of their self-evident purpose. Chihuahua, Oct. 17.—Henry J. Hoagland and Emil Appel, Americans, arrested January 20th last for the alleged robbery of Shaster & Co.'s house, are still in a filthy dungeon, without trial. The entire American colony of 3,000 believe them absolutely innocent. No other nation than the United States ever allowed such a malicious outrage. Robert Brown, another American, arrested at the same time and on the same charge, got out for ten dollars. John H. Griffin, section boss of the Mexican Central, for accidentally discharging a pistol nearly five months since, which gave her merest flesh wound to a Mexican near, is still held without trial. The story has been related of Hannibal Hamlin that ouce in his active political days, he attended a party caucus at which there was only one man present beside himself. He promptly elected the other man Chairman, had himself appointed Secretary and then transacted all the business in hand; and when he made out the credentials of the delegates chosen he wrote in them that the delegates were elected at a "large and respectable caucus"—"because," he explained to the Chairman, "you are large and I am respectable." Mr. Fleiszig wanted to leave the city by the last train, and not knowing when it left, sent this servant to see, saying: "John, go down to the depot and see when the last train goes, and hurry back and tell me." John went off and did not return for more than two hours when he rushed back into the room all out of breath. "Where in God's world have you been all this time?" demanded the master. "Train just left, air—this very minute," was John's broken reply. say $50,000 and pay the interest thereon (as it is abundantly able to do) expend the money on the reservoir, it would soon be recouped by the sale of shares and by the sale of water. Really, the undertaking is not a formidable one by any means. The interest on $50,000 would be less than $2 per acre, per year, assuming that the shares now taken pay it all. But with the reservoir in operation three times the number of shares could be sold, and with the money thus received the principal could be reduced from time to time. A month ago the Santa Ana river was drained of every drop of water at Balrock Canyon by the various ditches, and irrigators could have used more, could more have been had. To-day volumes of water sweep past the ditches uncaused for, running to waste. So it will be for months to come. It is obvious that there is something criminally wrong in a system which permits for several months the unrestrained waste of water which during other months is necessary to the existence of the community—and this, too, when Nature has provided a remedy. The Directors of the Anaheim Water Company were to have held a meeting at the Gazette office on Wednesday, to give a hearing to Mr. John Hunter who has prepared a scheme for a new irrigating Company, but no quorum being present, no definite action was taken. Mr. Hunter fully explained his plan of building the reservoir, and the matter was discussed thoroughly. It is probable that the Directors will to-day issue a call for a meeting of stockholders, and will submit to them the question of whether the company shall build the reservoir, if the necessary funds can be borrowed. If they take such action, it is probable that they will issue a printed address and send it to each stockholder, fully explaining the plan which they deem it best to pursue. A committee of the Anaheim Water Company had a conference on Thursday with the Directors of the S. A. V. L. Co. regarding the differences existing between the companies.
