WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...OCT. 27, 1893 Kleinigkeiten. Anaheim is probably the only town in the world where egg nests are compelled with estrich eggs. What a very absurd afterpiece the minatrels have hit upon—"Editor's Troubles." Editors have no troubles. A professional hunter at Cucamonga has since the opening of the season, trapped and shot one thousand dozen quail. Mr. Christian, lately of Kentucky, and an old-time friend of H. I. Patty has arrived in Anaheim and decided to locate here. The harbingers of winter, to wit, geese have been flying southward during the week. All signs portended an early rainfall May it come soon and remain long! Mr. Louis Hamon, from Iowa, has definitely decided to remain in Anaheim and is now endeavoring to choose from a number of eligible locations offered for sale. The residence of J. O. Perkins, at the Ranchito, was destroyed by fire on last Sunday night. Loss about $2,000. The insurance had expired a few days previous and had not been renewed. The St. Helena Star reports that from 4000 vines in a vineyard at Yountville 70 tons of grapes were harvested; 35 pounds to the vine. The variety is the Frontignan, and the value of the crop was $2,100. The renovation of Mr. Erwin Barr's house has been finished; and the metamorphosis has occurred. The fact that only five chicks have yet been hatched at the ostrich farm, and that they lived but a few days, has given rise to a belief that the industry will be a partial failure—only partial, because it is undeniable that the birds are thriving and that the feathers are making a luxuriant growth. But as ostrich farming is a business with which the most conceived Californian cannot claim to be familiar, it by no means follows that the belief that the eggs will not hatch is a current one, or based upon any substantial reason. The long transportation and rough usage to when the birds were subjected and the further fact that they have not as yet had time to become acclimated, are the real causes for the infertility of the eggs. The superintendent is not at all discouraged, and can conceive of no reason why, when the birds become thoroughly seabirded in this new country, they will not be as proficient of fertile eggs as in their native country. In the meantime the sale of feathers is reported to being an income large enough to pay current expenses. Since the above was in type we learn that three chicks have been hatched at the farm during the week. It has come to our knowledge that an effort is to be made by the people of Tustin to build a parsonage for the use of Rev. J. A. Eatery, and no one is to be asked to take up his residence there instead of in Anaheim. Without cleaning to be untidily effervescent, or to give unsolicited advice, we cannot refrain from suggesting to the members of St. Michael's church that they should not allow Mr. Eatery to leave here without making a strenuous effort to prevent it, by showing him that he is appreciated not only by the members of his church but by hundreds of his townsmen who have never been within the walls of St. Michael's. It is possible that he will not be particularly pleased at the Gazurrer's reference to this matter, but knowing him to be a friend, a valuable citizen and an accomplished gentleman, we assume the privilege of speaking of the rumor that has reached us and suggesting that a parsonage be built in Anaheim. If the friendship of the community is expressed in THE MEETING. It has been facetious pint of water was developed Water Company held at the country would suffer. But of all the meetings held, the one to convene tomorrow is transcendently On its decision of the question to it rests the prosperity of Anaheim—the people who depend upon the Anaheim Water Company without which their property is negatived, all ambitions perous future for Anaheim last aside. It cannot guarantee expected of it is that it is along in a dead and alive. It is not a subject we We are so deeply earnered by favor of the construction view that we feel conscientious discussion, lost we train propriety or politeness inponents of the measure—But the stockholders owe company will to day be told in a plain way, and with cution. The following items: Angeles Herald: Buyers of oranges are ready for purchase of the new One orchard of two hundred-three acres and the tree grown, sold last week for chaser to attend to pickin' same. Some infamous wretch sneaked into the stables of Company, on the corner of streets, and sheared the tails. The St. Helena Star reports that from 4000 vines in a vineyard at Yountville 70 tons of grapes were harvested. 35 pounds to the vine. The variety is the Frontignan, and the value of the crop was $2,100. The renovation of Mr. Erwin Barr's house has been finished and the metamorphosis is complete. The paper hanging and graining done by Mr. Schnapp (who, by the way, is now on a visit to Oregon) is rich, unique and artistic. The S. P. R. Company have reduced freight on baskets to points in New Mexico as follows: To Dresing 62 cents, instead of 81; to El Paso the new rate is 90 cents. Other points in New Mexico and Arizona have corresponding reductions. The second wharf built at San Pedro by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company is completed, and we understand that still another will be constructed adjoint, making three in all, made necessary by their increasing business. The term trial jury will meet at the Court House on Nov. 5th. Deputy Sheriff Tyler has subpoenaed the following jurors: Anaheim John Nepp, L. W. Kreby, Theo Reiser, Westminster Fred Smith, W. E. Poor, J. Beckett, T. D. Hull. The trial of John Foster, charged with the murder of Henry Amadon, will take place on Nov. 12th. The trial of Mrs. Amadon and Mrs. Greenberg, charged with being accessories to the crime, is set for Nov. 19th. The slayers of Asisie at El Monte have their second trial on Nov. 7th. The property known as the Sanitarium has been sold by Dr. Bardil to Mr. J. Bennerschmidt. The doctor will return to Colorado shortly, having mining interests there which demand his personal attention. He leaves here with regret, and not without the expectation of returning. The County Tax Collector is now ready to receive taxes, the assessment roll having been turned over to him. The taxes become delinquent on the fourth Monday in December. The rate is $1 25 in Anaheim and Los Angeles and $1 40 for the balance of the county. Miss Deltina de la Guerra (daughter of the late Judge de la Guerra) Miss Dominga Olivas and Miss Rosita de la Guerra, a hey of accomplished and handsome young ladies from Santa Barbara, were in town during the week as the guests of the Misses Riman. Mr. Emery to leave here without making a streneous effort to present it, by showing to him that he is appreciated not only by the members of his church but by hundreds of low townsmen who have never been within the walls of St. Michael's. It is possible that he will not be particularly pleased at the Gazerria's reference to this matter, but knowing him to be a friend, a valuable citizen and an accomplished gentleman, we assume the privilege of speaking of the rumor that has reached us; and suggesting that a paroxysme be built in Anaheim. It the friendship of the community is expressed in the substantial way, it is not probable that Mr. Emery will leave here, as we know he likes the place and the people, and never counts an opportunity of speaking in praise of Anaheim. The Riverside Canal Company have brought a suit against every user of water in the settlement, to determine the right of the company to charge a rate for water higher than that fixed by the Board of Supervisors. The canals have cost the company $226,000, and they claim that they should be allowed to charge for water a sum sufficient to pay them $1 per cent, per month interest on $600,000 and $8 per cent, per annum on $176,000, in addition to $22,000 annually for running expenses, repairs, etc. Thus their receipts ought to be $45,000 a year whereas being allowed to charge only 75 cents per inch for water, their receipts are hot $15,000 per year. The suit is a formable one into which much personal feeling enters, and it will be bitterly prosecuted and as brutally defended. Anaheim having in some degree got out of the legal woods can set on the fence and shed its sympathy on the combatants. The case of Hatton vs. Walby was tried before a jury in Justice Bailey's court on Thursday and held in considerable interest. Plaintiff, who is a real estate agent, had a contract with Walby to sell his place for $6900. Walby subsequently sold the place for $6750, and claimed to have revoked the contract before the purchaser had been made known to him, and that Mr. Hudson had no instrumentality in making the sale. Plaintiff, on the contrary, maintained that he had through a third party directed the purchaser's attention to the place, and that he was therefore entitled to a commission of $250. There was considerable diverse testimony in regard to matters of fact and dates. The jury rendered a verdict in favor of defendant. An appeal is to be taken. Mr. Menzel has had an experience which he thinks should be made public, to the end that his friends be not taken in and done for in like manner. Some time ago he gave an order for some liquor to the "strummer" for Weil Bros. of San Francisco, signing his name to a contract. The "strummer," without authority, added two barrels of whisky to Mr. Menzel's account. The following items are reported: Alfred Robinson trust Granges—N₂ of NE₄ see 3 $1000. Estate of Albert B Boswell confirming sale of SE₄ of S. R 10 W. to George Betz. The case of the People wherein the defendant is claiming a pistol on the Superior farm was on trial noon before a jury in Justice The case had not been conceived GAZETTE went to press. The following decrees filed in the Recorder's week: M. Goodwin vs. J. Hofreder vs. E. Hofreder Emma Lott; H. J. Rooper E. S. Reynolds vs. W.C.. The County Tax Collector is now ready to receive taxes, the assessment roll having been turned over to him. The taxes become delinquent on the fourth Monday in December. The rate is $1.25 in Anaheim and Los Angeles and $1.40 for the balance of the county. Miss Delfina de la Guerra (daughter of the late Judge de la Guerra) Miss Dominga Olivas and Miss Routa de la Guerra, a hevy of accomplished and handsome young ladies from Santa Barbara, were in town during the week as the guests of the Misses Rimpaan. They returned to their home in Santa Barbara on Wednesday morning. On Mr. E. S. Saxton's beautiful place in Orangethorpe are some pear trees of the variety known as Duchess d' Angoulême, which yearly bear fruit of great size. This year the three largest pears weighed 18, 24 and 25 ounces respectively—less than last year, but heavy enough to excite remark. Their appearance and quality are in keeping with their weight. General Grant states that he was rather surprised to find himself in the New York World's list of millionaires, but, by putting in his children and grandchildren at an average value of $62,500 each, he thinks perhaps he can figure up that total. In the list of millionaires referred to the name of "Benjamin Dreyfus, wine merchant" appeared. Our townsman was, like Grant, surprised; but if in reckoning his wealth the World reporter took into consideration the three boys of the Dreyfus household, he grossly under-estimated the financial standing of our friend. Mr. Cheeseman, the proprietor of the store at the depot, desires to apologize to his customers for the confusion observable in his store during the past week. The work of unpacking and assorting a carload of drygoods, boots and shoes, etc., made the confusion unavoidable. Having now got the new stock somewhat arranged, he invites public attention to it as being the largest and best assortment he ever received, and he proposes to sell it cheaper than ever. Examine the goods, ask the prices, and there can be no doubt that you will buy. Mr. Menzel has had an experience which he thinks should be made public, to the end that his friends be not taken in and done for in like manner. Some time ago he gave an order for some liquor to the "strummer" for Woll Bros. of San Francisco, signing his name to a contract. The "drummer," without authority, abled two barrels of whisky to the written contract. Mr. Menzel refused to receive the whisky, for the reason that he had not ordered it and had no use for it. Suit was brought against him to compel him to pay for it, and to avoid trouble he paid the bill and took the liquor. The Anaheim Minstrel Troupe will give their first performance for the season on Thanksgiving Eve. The company is thoroughly reorganized, and with their repertoire of new songs and sketches will delight the music-loving people of Anaheim. With Landell as Interlocutor, Hoggins bones and Hodges tambourine the performance promises to outrival anything ever witnessed in Anaheim. After the performance a grand ball will be given, for which the best of music has been engaged. For bright walnuts, clean on the shell and the kernel full and white, there is an active demand. The crop has been pretty well cornered. 8½ cents for choice orchards where grown is the top price paid. Express. Anaheim orchards must certainly be "choice," as 8½ cents is the lowest price which has been paid for nuts here. Mr. Gilman, Superintendent of the Semi-Tropical Fruit Co.'s orchard, says that the orange and lemon crop will be very light this year, both in this county and San Bernardino county, owing principally to the injury done to the trees by cold last winter. The quality of the fruit will probably be prime. Read the new advertisement of the San Francisco Cash Store. Mr. Dobner returned from San Francisco on Monday bringing with him an immense assortment of goods. The following decree filed in the Recorder's office week: M. Goodwin vs. J. Hoffreider vs. E. Hotreider Emma Lott; H. J. Rooper E. S. Reynolds vs. W. C. Thompson vs. F. Thompson The Chattanooga (Tenn.) investigating the work of Tennessee. An interview elder states that they had been more Northern Mississippi than Northern Georgia and Lower are doing equally as well. T 700 in the Chattanooga fall for Utah, but this year be nearly 1000. The convev Chattanooga about the 10th November and will then proceed. A new Chinese defranding been discovered. Several paying between three and four stamped letters, brought over from Hong Kong by self-appointed mail agents, were seized by authorities. It was remarked that these correspondence was observed watch was set, resulting covery. In the village of Lakeville sized figure of Christ is fenced at a street corner petitioned for its removal hated by the Catholics, and no ladies propose to retaliate by ed servants from the South. A Mason & Hamlin organ Apply to Mrs. N. H. Mitchel THE MEETING TO-DAY. It has been facetiously said that if a pint of water was developed every time the Water Company held a meeting, this part of the country would suffer from floods. But of all the meetings which have been held, the one to convene at 2 o'clock this afternoon is transcendently the most important. On its decision of the question to be submitted to it rests the prosperity or the retrogression of Anaheim—the weal or woe of the people who depend upon the ditches of the Anaheim Water Company for the water without which their property is valueless. If the proposal to build the reservoir is negatived, all ambitious dreams of a prosperous future for Anaheim might as well be laid aside. It cannot grow; all that can be expected of it is that it will manage to get along in a dead and alive sort of way. It is not a subject we like to write about. We are so deeply earnestly and conclusively in favor of the construction of the reservoir that we feel constrained to avoid the discussion, lest we transgress the rules of propriety or politeness in referring to the opponents of the measure—if it has opponents. But the stockholders of the Water Company will today be told some plain truths in a plain way, and without any circumlocation. The following items are from the Los Angeles Herald: Buyers of oranges are now in the market for purchase of the new crop for shipment. One orchard of two hundred trees, less than three acres and the trees only partially grown, sold last week for $900—the purchaser to attend to picking and shipping the same. Some infamous wretch on Monday night sneaked into the stables of the City Railroad Company, on the corner of Olive and First streets, and sheared the tails of fourteen of [For the Gazette] INITIAL ACROSTIC. Ancient Rome in the moist of her splendors, Of grandeur and lavish display; Like Pompei, most doomed of cities, Have sank into utter decay. The poets sang praises to Italy, In boast of her excellent clime; Tis mine to declare of the beauties That are lying about Anaheim. Now amusements: we have literary, The Athletes and Minstrel Club too, Hops, misquerades, menageries, concerts, Evening parties enjoyable, too; Independence Day, less exercises Indulged in, the Antiques were prime, And Bacchus and Conas, companions, Grew merry in gay Anaheim. Anon the wild waves of the ocean Do break on the desolate shore, With the echo of Poes' ghostly raven, The sigh of the sad nevermore. But still the blue dancing Pacific Keeps sounding in rythmic chime, In praise to the beautiful Landing And regions of fair Anaheim. He then to the San Bernardino, Mount quick to its summit I pray, For the scenery that lies here about you Is hard to excel; then away To the canyons and caves so entrancing. The sunsets are truly sublime When viewed from its heights quite enraptures Sojourners at fair Anaheim. Eureka! a spacious enclosure Protected from needless alarm, The ostrich, shy bird of the desert, Stalks abound on this wonderful farm. In fruit, too, Pomona is libral; The orange, peach, apple and lime, The pear, grape, apricot, nectarine And "ruby" adorn Anaheim. In Celestials we have an abundance, In rather too much of a cue; But then as a menu to dinner We might serve them up in a stew. May peace and prosperity ever Rest on their and catching the chime The bell of St. Michael's rings clearly And twilight falls o'er Anaheim. My object you all perceive plainly Is but a meritorious one. Twas said by an ancient wisecreare, "There’s nothing new under the sun." Please pardon my consummate folly In boldly presenting my rhyme, Encouaching upon precious moments By taking the editor’s time. ONLY A FLOWER. Words and Music by J. Landell, Anaheim Minstrels Only a little flower plucked long years ago, When my heart was innocent and gay, Bringing back the happiest time that I shall ever know. Days, also forever passed away. Often through my memory rushes thoughts of happier hours. Thoughts that fill my eyes with bitter tears— In my fancy then I walk among the buds and flowers Whispering tales of love in some one's ears. Only a little flower; yet 'tis dear to me. As the brightest gem that ever shone, In my fancy off the pure angel face I see Of one I called in other days my own. In my heart I ever cherish recollections sweet, of the maid I've walked with many an hour. In the merry spring time when I gathered at her feet And cherished in my bosom this small flower. A Sensible Project. Los Angeles Herald The property holders of Anaheim are agitating the project of making a large reservoir northeast of that town, on a tract of forty-one acres of land generously donated to the people of Anaheim by Mr. Daniel Kraemer, two years ago, for the purpose of a reservoir. The capacity of the proposed reservoir will be 434,000,000 gallons. Such a reservoir is a necessity to Anaheim, and from this great storage lake, pipes should be laid over the sandy plains between Placentia and Anaheim and make them susceptible of tillage at all seasons of the year. The heirs of Mr. Kraemer are weary of waiting for the reservoir to be made, and if there is not prompt action taken by the people to make such a work, the land will be restored by due process of law to the heirs of the donor. It would be a misfortune to the people of Anaheim to let such an opportunity slip of securing the site for a reservoir for nothing. They will have to make a reservoir and lay water pipes at some time, and might as well begin now, when times are flush and money is abundant. A stock company could be formed, and the capital all subscribed by the land owners to be benefited by the work. This is the day for re- The following items are from the Los Angeles Herald. Buyers of oranges are now in the market for purchase of the new crop for shipment. One orchard of two hundred trees, less than three acres and the trees only partially grown, sold last week for $900—the purchaser to attend to picking and shipping the same. Some infamous wretch on Monday night sneaked into the stables of the City Railroad Company, on the corner of Olive and First streets, and sheared the tails of fourteen of the horses of that company. A coat of tar and feathers should be the next suit worn by the dastard who did this dirty deed. Quite a serious accident occurred at the Bower & Chandler oil well on Thursday which resulted in the maining of John E. Kennedy. It appears that he descended into the well with a red hot iron and that its contact with the accumulated gases caused an explosion which threw Kennedy out of the well and into the air fully twenty feet. Quite fortunately on his descent he fell upon the wreckage and not back into the well again, otherwise he would certainly have been killed. As it is he is very painfully injured. He is stopping at the Planters Hotel. The curbing of the well was shattered by the explosion. The Express says that the plasterers of Los Angeles city are on a strike for less hours and more pay. Eight hours and $5 a day is the demand, which the employers do not see their way to meet. For what may be considered the next thing to miskill labor, the wages asked are certainly high. There are a large number of contracts out on which work has reached the plastering stage, and the men think this will compel the bosses to meet their demands. The contractors say they cannot afford to pay so much for labor, that it would bankrupt them. The following real estate transactions are reported: Alfred Robinson, trustee, to Otto des Granges—N² of NE³ sec 35, T 3 S, R 10 W; $100. Estate of Albert B Boswell, minor—Order continuing sale of SE² of NW² sec 15, T 4 S, R 10 W. to George Betz for $200. The case of the People vs. J. F. Guirado, wherein the defendant is charged with drawing a pistol on the Superintendent of the ostrich farm, was on trial yesterday afternoon before a jury in Justice Bailey's Court. The case had not been concluded when the Gazette went to press. The following decrees of divorce were filed in the Recorder’s office one day this week: M. Goodwin vs. J. A. Goodwin; M. Hofreider vs. E. Hotreider; A. E. Lott vs. Emma Lott; H. J. Roper vs. Mary Roper; E. S. Reynolds vs. W. C. Reynolds; S. H.

Rosa Coquillett. Church Notes. Rev. Mr. Ballinger will preach in the German church every Sunday morning at 10:30. Rev. Mr. Dearing will preach in the Methodist Episcopal church every Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. There will be full morning service at St. Michael’s church to morrow with the celebration of the Holy Communion, beginning at 11 o’clock, and evening prayer and sermon at the usual hour of 7:30. Now that Mr. Emery has returned we understand that at least for the present there will be regular morning and evening services at this church, to which all are cordially invited. Editor Gazette: As next Sunday closes the labors of S. B. Smith with the Fairview Sunday school, allow me to say that it is with deep regret that the school parts with him; for during his seven years’ labor here as Superintendent he has so entwined himself in all his Scripture exegesis, all must admit that he has felt truly and zealously taught the word of God he understands it without any regard to what anyone might think or say; for with whatever faults he may have (and he doubtless has his faults the same as other men) he is not the man to yield the truth to please friend or foe. Now that he has resigned the position, will some of his religious enemies take the field and work as gearily for the next seven years, trying to correct what they are pleased to call his erroneous teaching? I throw not. And why not? Simply because they have so much more error on their side that they dare not openly try to refute what little error he has. The severing of his connection with the school has been entirely of his own choosing, in accordance with his convictions of duty, and while the school will deeply feel their loss we hope his field of usefulness in the Master’s cause may be enlarged, and although he now stands identified with a church of which we read nothing in the Bible (unless it be in the third Epistle of Peter) yet we can heartily bid him God speed in teaching sinners to obey the gospel and meet their Lord when He comes. Fairview, Oct. 26, 1883. A Card. The undersigned desire to express in this public manner their heartfelt appreciation of the kindness shown and help given us during the last sickness of our beloved son by Mr. and Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. Hudson and other ladies. Without their kind aid, encouragement and sympathy, the bereavement would have been much more distressing to waiting for the reservoir to be made, and if there is not prompt action taken by the people to make such a work, the land will be restored by due process of law to the heirs of the donor. It would be a misfortune to the people of Anaheim to let such an opportunity slip of securing the site for a reservoir for nothing. They will have to make a reservoir and lay water pipes at some time, and might as well begin now, when times are flush and money is abundant. A stock company could be formed, and the capital all subscribed by the land owners to be benefited by the work. This is the day for reservours, and they cannot be made too soon. When the great tunnel it made into Sierras Madres, a grand reservoir will have to be made in the hills south of Pasadena, about 300 feet above the Court House in Los Angeles, when everybody can have water enough and to spare, and water enough to turn all the manufacturing wheels that are needed in the city. We hope the Anaheimers will go ahead with their reservoir, and set us an example worthy to imitate in the great reservoir that we must soon make in Los Angeles. “The Herald describes the process of preparing crystalized fruit pursued by a firm in Los Angeles. “The fruit, whether white figs, black figs, oranges, peaches or other fruits—those being the principal ones used—is first relieved of its skin and sliced, after which it is placed in trays to dry a little. Next, they are dipped in water in which sugar is dissolved, then placed on trays of wire gauze, and put in the place where they are dried and become crystallized. It takes two to three days to complete the process, as they are subjected to a slow heat in order to make them as nearly perfect as possible, and they are nearly so. The arrangement of the drying apparatus was invented by the proprietors, is admirably arranged and heated by coal oil stores in zinc partitions underneath, by which heat is thoroughly regulated. The process appears to be very simple but a novice who should try it would not succeed.” LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by E.
