Hudson & Co. wish to inform the people of Anaheim and vicinity of their intention to publish a journal and send a large edition promiscuously over the country, for the express purpose of advertising all properties given into their hands for sale, and those desiring to sell can not do better than call at their office and give a full description of their property before this journal is issued. The U. S. Circuit Court of San Francisco has dismissed the case against R. J. Northam and W. D. Lamb, who were held by Commissioner Lee on charges of perjury, growing out of the Bolsas land case. The dismissal was on the ground of insufficient evidence. This was the generally-expected ending of the case, as personal malice was the prime motive of the prosecution. The following real estate transactions are reported: Wm G Thompson to Josephine Wagner — 86 acres in secs 20 and 29, T 3 S, R 9 W; $1250. Charles Wille to L F H Dravsen — town lot 20, Anaheim; $1190.

Two of the three ostrich chicks mentioned in these columns last week failed to materialize, and the other died on Wednesday day. Any gentleman having a hundred thousand dollars in his pocket will please address this office, stating where a private interview can be had. At night. In a dark alley. Four Mexicans were arrested on last Saturday evening by Constable Bohn for disturbing the peace. They passed the night in jail and were discharged next morning. After passing a very enjoyable season in British Columbia, Mr. T. C. L. Kay has returned to Anaheim, having arrived on Thursday. He will probably spend the winter in this vicinity. The jury in the case of the People vs. J. F. Guirado, charged with "exhibiting a weapon in a rude and threatening manner" at the ostrich farm, returned a verdict of acquittal. Mr. Edward Niles, the representative of the Scottish Union and National Insurance Company, was in town during the week inspecting the risks which that excellent company have secured in Anaheim. A baker in Los Angeles named Edward Mecha, was severely burned by the explosion of a five gallon can of oil, from which he was pouring the oil on to a piece of burning paper. Attention is directed to the advertisement of Miss Wigand, an instructress of great merit who has located here. She already has a flourishing class of eighteen pupils. Los Angeles, inspired by the example of Anaheim, is about to perfect its water system. The Council have appointed three engineers to make surveys and recommend a better system than the one now prevailing. E. Duncan, a guest of the U.S. Hotel in Los Angeles, was found dead in bed on Monday morning. Cause—enlargement of the liver. Rosa Moreli was also found dead at her rooms in Buena Vista street on the Wm G Thompson to Josephine Wagner—80 acres in secs 20 and 29, T 3 S, R 9 W; $1250. Charles Wille to L F H Dravsen—town lot 20, Anaheim; $1190. Alfred Robinson, trustee, to Wm Justice—N 29.66 acres of NW of NW; sec 31, T 3 S, R 11 W; $889.80. The rain on the night of the 26th instant measured in Anaheim ninety-two hundrethes; at Pasadena 1:20 inches, at San Fernando 1:50, at Newhall 2, at Spadra 2, at Los Angeles 1:37. A cloudburst in the mountains caused a torrent of water to rush down Coyote creek, to the destruction of bridges and culverts. The Trustees of the City of Riverside at their first meeting after incorporation, followed the time-honored precedent of enacting a dog license tax. They all do it. Every city council since the world began has passed just such an ordinance. But it is only in Anaheim that it is enforced. [N. B. This is sarcasm.]. The ancient adobe Catholic church in Yorba precinct having fallen into decay, it has been decided to build a new one, and to that end Miss Smythe and Miss Yorba have been soliciting subscriptions. They have met with such success that the building of the new church is assured. Mr. Kenyon Cox, knowing that we appreciate choice reading apart from the routine matter which editors must necessarily absorb, has sent us from New York the October number of Dio Lewis's monthly, a very unique publication. There is to be a "meet" of bicyclists at Los Angeles next week. The programme includes a parade to Santa Monica and return. Our local wheelsmen, Messrs. Higgins and Cox, will represent Anaheim at the gathering. We are requested to note that a very important meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. 85, A. O. U. W, will be held on next Monday evening, and that a general attendance of members is requested. The clothing house of L. Harris & Co. of Los Angeles have an advertisement on this page. It is by long odds the largest house of the kind in that city, and has the reputation of selling cheaper than any other. It is said that the San Gabriel Valley orange crop will this year amount to thirty thousand boxes, as against sixty thousand last year. The schooner Lizzie Madison, from Humboldt, has arrived at San Pedro with 160,000 feet of redwood lumber for Messrs. Saxton and Cox. The reservoir will give to use the waters there from Los Angeles, inspired by the example of Anaheim, is about to perfect its water system. The Council have appointed three engineers to make surveys and recommend a better system than the one now prevailing. E. Duncan, a guest of the U.S. Hotel in Los Angeles, was found dead in bed on Monday morning. Cause—enlargement of the liver. Rosa Moreli was also found dead at her rooms in Buena Vista street on the same morning. Cause—apoplexy. We have been somewhat bothered herefore to know what particular occurrence during the past twelve months we ought to feel thankful for. Now we know. Say, Stoneman, trot out your Thanksgiving proclamation whenever you're ready. A full attendance of the members of Confidence Fire Company No. 1 is desired on next Tuesday evening, as a proposed amendment to the by-laws will be voted upon, providing that all meetings of the company shall be held with closed doors; also providing for the election of a Sergeant-at-Arms. After the meeting the company will turn out for drill. Mr. Keith is in receipt of a letter from his partner, Mr. Hanna, who is at Cleveland, Ohio. He writes that there will probably be a large immigration into this county soon, and that Anaheim will secure a large share of the immigrants. Mr. Hanna is making a thorough canvass of the country, and we expect great results from the enterprise of this go-ahead real estate firm. We smother our prejudice against "poetry" long enough to write a request to some of our local Tennysons to grind out an epic, roundelay, distich or whatever you call it, in praise of the reservoir. No rhyme for "reservoir," you say! Nonsense. Hearken unto this: The epicure who dines on dalton dishes Of ragouss, stews and highly seasoned fishes And tops his dinner off with oats noir; Is apt in later years when paints stomachic Assail him as the re-sult of his rachst To wish he had not been so awful blueguest And made his abdomen a reservoir.

It is said that the San Gabriel Valley orange crop will this year amount to thirty thousand boxes, as against sixty thousand last year. The schooner Lizzie Madison, from Humboldt, has arrived at San Pedro with 160,000 feet of redwood lumber for Messrs. Saxton & Cox. Messrs. Hudson & Co. report the sale of John Waterman's 60 acres in Yorba precinct to Frank Buther, for $4,018. Disease of a diphtheric nature has caused the death at Upper Santa Ana of two of Vicente Yorba's children. Post-Office Letter List.

There will be a vocal and instrumental concert at the Presbyterian church in Orange on next Thursday evening, the 8th instant. The concert is given to raise the small amount of money necessary to pay the debt due on the Christian church which has just been built, and which will be dedicated on Sunday morning, Nov. 11th, by Rev. Joseph King, of Alleghany City, Pa. Tickets are for sale at the Anaheim post-office and elsewhere, and it is to be hoped that the friends of the church, as well as those who love good music will be in attendance at the concert. Among those who have volunteered their services are Prof. Packard of Anaheim, Mr. and Mrs. Rice of Tustin, the Orange and Santa Ana Quartets, Mrs. Dr. Howe of Santa Ana and a number of others. Land held at $100 per acre ready sale at $200. Everyone to stay here should rejoice in stricture of the reservoir, because him a sufficiency of water crops and greater profit; wants to sell his property should rejoice, because buy it ful enough now that this grove been determined upon. It is—a source of rejoicing to community. The reservoir will give to use the waters therefrom and the era of shriveled trivines will be past. It will enable irrigation daytime, thus enabling even to be used; and doing away with cal airments which night it will furnish irrigators stream of water, so that these fields in less time, with less thoroughly than under the tree. It will render profitable land which has hitherto been profitable. It will conduce to the settling now vacant and will enlarge families to settle here and rent it. It will infuse new life, new community which has of late stagnant, so torn with dissection withstanding its manifest ages, newcomers conceived distrust which prevented theming here. It will serve to heal the dale for the cause of quarrel being old antipathies will die away efficient influence of general power. It will, in short, place A front as the most eligible and cality in all Southern California munity can begin even now did the old darkey at that when exhilarated with salvation Lord, I'se gettin' fatter and fatter. It should be generally kissed that the Anaheim Water in the market seeking to bore red thousand dollars at a rate to exceed eight per cent., and ready to give full and ample payment of the money. We shall be must practically those who loan the money matter to the Company where THE RESERVOIR A FACT. ITS CONSTRUCTION DECIDED UPON. Remarkable Unanimity of Public Sentiment—A Speedy Commencement of this Great Work Hoped For—Some Pertinent Facts Concerning It. Were it left to us to compile for future almanacs the column of "notable events" which is a feature of those publications, we would, opposite the date October 27th, place on record the fact that in the year 1883 the stockholders of the Anaheim Water Company, by a practically unanimous vote, resolved to utilize the vast reservoir which is to revolutionize the status of affairs in Anaheim. In this enterprise, there may be a realization of the proverbial slip 'twixit' the cup and the lip; but the encouraging fact remains that the people have, in the most emphatic way, given expression to their opinion that the reservoir is a necessity, that it ought to be built, and that they have faith in its efficacy as a factor in the future prosperity of the country. The general meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company convened at 2 o'clock on last Saturday. Of the 1553 shares of stock issued, there were represented 1599 shares, very few being proxies. It was the most generally attended meeting ever held by the company. The resolution which was introduced and debated was as follows: Resolved—That the Company build the reservoir, provided one hundred thousand dollars can be borrowed at a rate of interest not to exceed six per cent. per annum, for a term of fifteen to twenty years, interest payable semi-annually; that out of the money so borrowed all indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid and any surplus left after a completion of the reservoir and all necessary ditches and other necessary work therewith connected shall be loaned out by the Company upon the money from one or from a hundred persons; in fact they would doubtless prefer to borrow as much of the money as possible from our own citizens. The investment is a permanent and safe one, and it is commended to the attention of those having a few thousand surplus dollars. To the remarks which are said to have been made regarding the limit of interest fixed in the resolution, we have this answer to make: Some two or three hundred gentlemen, more or less, have said that they knew the money could be got for five per cent., and as we have no doubt they knew what they were talking about, we fail to see what harm has resulted in officially declaring that if the money could not be had for less than eight per cent. the company was willing to pay that. Many think, doubtless with good reason, that six per cent. is sufficient interest to pay on such a large sum of money; others do not object to seven per cent. Now, the difference in the annual interest on $100,000 (which is actually more money than there is any necessity of borrowing) at 7 per cent. and 8 per cent. is $1000; and those who, in the graphic slang of the day, "buck" at paying 8 per cent. practically declare that they want no reservoir if they have to pay annually about 30 cents a share additional! If the investment is as good a one as we assert that it is, there will be competition among those who have the money to loan, and the Company will get the money at a lower rate of interest than the maximum rate fixed. And whoever loans the money will examine the records of the company and ascertain every fact pertinent to the matter; and therefore it is right and proper that everything connected with this enterprise should be publicly discussed. In a matter of this magnitude, in which every man, woman and child in the community is vitally and directly interested, the fullest publicity should be given to all the proceedings therewith connected. Wedding Presents in China. A lady writing from China to a friend in America gave the following description of customs in the Celestial Kingdom on the occasion of the marriage of a Chinese merchant's daughter, a small-footed "lady," to a gentleman belonging to a wealthy and aristocratic family: Several days before the wedding many foreigners were invited to see the presents of the bridegroom to his bride. Noticeable among the numerous articles were eight hundred large pies—a kind of mince pie, a most indigestible compound prepared expressly to give the partakers thereof the most violent dyspepsia. On each pie two persimmons were placed. There were ten varieties of pastry. Some time before the wedding day, the groom had sent to the bride several dress patterns. Some were of elegant brocade, others of the soft crape silk, others of delicate gauze. There were numerous pieces of rich and costly jewelry for the hair, the neck, the ears, the arms, and the ankles. The goods sent by the groom were to be made up at the expense of the bride's parents. This expense is often very great, as they must be elaborate with embroidery of silk and gold thread, and costly jewels. When the bridal outfit was completed we were again invited to see the bride "dressed on trial." All day long the poor little bride must be ready to receive guests, to be talked about and inspected, but she must not speak a word. The elegance of her trousseau is almost beyond description with the many, many dresses of silk and satin and fur, the exquisitely wrought bridal collar, the dainty bridal shoes, the embroidered bed hangings and lovely bed-clothes of silk and satin. Then there were her pewter furnishings, such as would answer to our silver cake-baskets, decanters, teapots, fruit-baskets, and like. There were also her wooden tubs, painted red, and the wardrobes for her clothes, and her trunks, also painted red. Red being the "joyful color," is found everywhere on the wedding day. The resolution which was introduced and debated was as follows: Resolved—That the Company build the reservoir, provided one hundred thousand dollars can be borrowed at a rate of interest not to exceed six per cent, per annum, for a term of from fifteen to twenty years, interest payable semi-annually; that out of the money so borrowed all indebtedness of the Company shall first be paid and any surplus left after a completion of the reservoir and all necessary ditches and other necessary work therewith connected shall be loaned out by the Company upon the best terms obtainable. The debate which followed the introduction of the above resolution was confined solely to the limitations as to the percentage and time. The question of whether the reservoir ought to be built was never broached, there evidently being but one opinion on that point. After an hour's debate the resolution was amended, raising the limit of interest to eight per cent, and changing the time so as to read "for a term of from ten to twenty years." In this shape the resolution was adopted by the following vote: In favor of the resolution...1378 shares Against the resolution...167 shares The 167 shares cast against the resolution were held by THREE stockholders. Four stockholders who were present, representing 54 shares, refused to vote tor or against the resolution. Another resolution providing for the construction of the reservoir, but being broader in its scope and purpose than the one adopted, was proposed and seconded, but was withdrawn when the changes indicated above were made in the resolution first proposed. The proposer, being sincerely desirous of seeing the enterprise begin, was unwilling to jeopardize the scheme by insisting upon his views, and therefore voted for the resolution which was adopted. Such unanimity was as unexpected as it was gratifying. The vote in the affirmative represents more than two-thirds of the stock issued, and we know of our own knowledge that there were many friends of the measure unavoidably absent. The announcement of the vote was greeted with hearty applause by the meeting. When this grand project becomes a reality—way, the day when the first shovelful of earth is thrown upon the site of the embankment—the value of the real estate lying under the reservoir will be doubled. Land held at $100 per acre today will be of ready sale at $200. Every man who intends to stay here should rejoice over the construction of the reservoir, because it will insure him a sufficiency of water, ergo greater crops and greater profit; every man who wants to sell his property and go away should rejoice, because buyers will be plentiful enough now that this grand scheme has been determined upon. It ought to be—it is—a source of rejoicing to everyone in the community. The reservoir will give to those entitled to use the waters therefrom a beautiful supply and the Company will get the money at a lower rate of interest than the maximum rate fixed. And whoever loans the money will examine the records of the company and ascertain every fact pertinent to the matter; and therefore it is right and proper that everything connected with this enterprise should be publicly discussed. In a matter of this magnitude, in which every man, woman and child in the community is vitally and directly interested, the fullest publicity should be given to all the proceedings therewith connected. The Directors of the Company met in special session on Monday, and discussed the situation. A suggestion that a committee of three stockholders be appointed to advise with the Board in all matters pertaining to the reservoir was not favorably received. Messrs. Scott, Zeyn and Korn were appointed to borrow the money required; Messrs. Scott and Zeyn were appointed to procure the right of way through J. W. Shanklin's land, and Mr. Hartung was appointed to secure the right of way through the Yorba property, and he was authorized to ask any stockholder to co-operate with him in the matter. Amendments to the bylaws were introduced. They will be found in the advertising columns. It will be pertinent at this time to recapitulate some facts concerning the reservoir. There is on tile in the office of the company two reports from two engineers, and from these reports we cull the following: Both from its elevation and the natural configuration of the earth at that point, the site elected is remarkably well adapted for the purposes of a storage reservoir such as it is proposed to construct. All the materials required in the work, except the small amounts of lumber, stone and lime which will be needed, are to be found on or near the site, and are of good quality. A superficial extent of 47.61 acres (the area of the reservoir) contains 2,073,891 square feet. With a depth of water at the dam of twenty feet, and a mean depth of say twelve feet, the contents of the reservoir will be 24,886,692 cubic feet, equal to 186,-165,397 gallons of water. For the space outside of the 47.61 acres occupied by bays, ravines and like, under the assumed level of 20 feet, let us add 4,000,000 cubic feet, or 29,922,080 gallons. This will give to the main reservoir a total storage capacity of 28,-886,629 cubic feet, equal to 216,087,477 gallons. The storage capacity of the upper reservoir is 40 per cent. in addition, so that the capacity of both reservoirs will be 302,522,-468 gallons. If it is found feasible to increase the dam to a height of twenty-five feet, the capacity will be increased to 403,-363,291 gallons. The outlet pipe will have a diameter of thirty inches, and will discharge 27,000 gallons per hour. This discharge will empty the two reservoirs, supposing that no water would enter them meanwhile in forty-four hours. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the GAZETTE by E.

Every man who intends to stay here should rejoice over the construction of the reservoir, because it will insure him a sufficiency of water, ergo greater crops and greater profit; every man who wants to sell his property and go away should rejoice, because buyers will be plentiful enough now that this grand scheme has been determined upon. It ought to be—it is—a source of rejoicing to everyone in the community. The reservoir will give to those entitled to use the waters therefrom a bountiful supply, and the era of shriveled trees and parched vines will be past. It will enable irrigation to be done in the daytime, thus enabling every drop of water to be used; and doing away with the physical ailments which night irrigation entails. It will furnish irrigators with a steady stream of water, so that they can flood their fields in less time, with less men, and more thoroughly than under the present system. It will render profitable a large body of land which has hitherto been practically unprofitable. It will conduce to the settlement of land now vacant and will enable hundreds of families to settle here and make homes. It will infuse new life, new blood, into a community which has of late years been so stagnant, so torn with dissensions that, notwithstanding its manifest natural advantages, newcomers conceived an aversion and distrust which prevented them from remaining here. It will serve to heal the dissensions noted; for the cause of quarrel being removed, the old antipathies will die away under the beneficent influence of general prosperity. It will, in short, place Anaheim to the front as the most eligible and prosperous locality in all Southern California. The community can begin even now to exclaim, as did the old darkey at the camp-meeting when exhilarated with salvation: "Bress de Lord, I’ve gettin’ fatter and fatter!" It should be generally known and published that the Anaheim Water Company is in the market seeking to borrow one hundred thousand dollars at a rate of interest not to exceed eight per cent., and that it stands ready to give full and ample security for the payment of the money. What that security shall be must practically be dictated by those who loan the money. Nor does it matter to the Company whether they borrow The storage capacity of the upper reservoir is 40 per cent. in addition, so that the capacity of both reservoirs will be 302,522,-468 gallons. If it is found feasible to increase the dam to a height of twenty-five feet, the capacity will be increased to 403,-363,291 gallons. The outlet pipe will have a diameter of thirty inches, and will discharge 27,000 gallons per hour. This discharge will empty the two reservoirs, supposing that no water were to enter them meanwhile, in forty-seven days. Were the water to be increased to a depth of 25 feet at the dam, it would require sixty days to empty the reservoirs. —The explosion at Petrolia last week shows that gas and probably oil are very abundant in that section. Near Smith’s Ferry, in Pennsylvania, and East Liverpool, just across the line, in Ohio, there are a number of wells which yield a very heavy lubricating oil, quite similar to that discovered on the Puente and at Petrolia. The wells are not very prolific in oil, but they emit wonderful volumes of gas. For years this has been conducted in pipes into the houses of the inhabitants of East Liverpool and, we believe, of Smith’s Ferry, and it serves as an excellent fuel and illuminator. In addition, the town is lighted with the gas. We throw out this hint for the benefit of our Anaheim friends, who are near enough to Petrolia to profit by this abundance of petroleum gas.—Herald. Church Notes. Rev. Mr. Bollinger 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. H. F. Emeric of San Francisco writes from Camp San Gertrude, Lower California, under date of September 16th, the following concerning the new placer mines: “After a long and tiresome trip our party arrived at the mines on the 10th of September. At present we have done very little, but there is no doubt but what we will make at least $50 a day, and with a Wangaman dry washer from $500 to $700 a month might be made. Water is twenty-five cents a gallon, and they only allow one person three gallons a day, which goes but a short distance when working in the hot sun.” 80 Cases New Goods Just opened and ready for examination AT THE San Francisco Cash Store, Anaheim.
