WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY NOV. 10, 1883 Kleinigkeiten. The November schedule of the P. C. S. B. Co. is published on the fourth page. Justice Bailey yesterday sent Wm. Clark to jail for thirty days for vagrancy. G. K. Lee left on Wednesday for a brief visit to Santa Cruz county. The Farmers' Ditch Company has levied an assessment of one dollar a share, payable on or before December 31. It is said that the Holiness Band has engaged Kroeger's Hall for two weeks, in which to hold services. A theatrical troupe which leaves San Francisco in December, includes Anaheim in the places at which it will perform. Confidence Fire Co. No. 1 will hereafter admit no one to their meetings except he be a member of the Company. The regular meeting of Anaheon Lodge No. 207, F. and A. M., will be held on Monday evening. Messrs. Orr, Waters and Lyman with their families, numbering twenty-one persons in all, located in Westminster last week. They are from Fresno county. C. C. Craig, the brakesman injured in the railroad accident near Colton last week, died on Tuesday. McCormack, the tramp, also died on Tuesday as a result of his injuries. The Azusa Land Company are preparing to extend $150,000 in making a tunnel and Messrs. Hudson & Co. informs us that a gentleman will be in town in a few days who has been making a tour of the various localities in Southern California with the view of selecting the most inviting one for the establishment of a fruit dryer. If there is one thing which would be of benefit to Anaheim it is an industry of this kind; and there is as little doubt that there is a sufficiency of fruit grown here as there is that it is of the very best quality. If the gentleman referred to means business—if he will build and operate a dryer—we know that a suitable tract of land will be deeded to him as a gift, and we have reason to believe that in a canvass among the fruit growers he would probably get money subscribed to assist him in erecting the buildings. It is said, also, that the owners of the patent right of the Acme dryer would, should he desire to use that patent, exact no royalty. With all these inducements, it will be strange indeed if Anaheim fails to secure a dryer before another fruit season. The Board of Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. An amendment to Ordinance No. 23 was introduced changing the place of meeting to the Masonic Hall building. In the matter of the assessment of F. J. Schmidt, it appearing to the Board that the property had been twice assessed, the Tax Collector was instructed to collect only the amount properly due. It was ordered that bills for the filling in of the Broadway ditch, and the making of a new ditch on the south side of that thoroughfare, be advertised for. The Committee on Public Improvements, in connection with the Commissioners, were authorized to purchase 150 feet of fire hose, in response to the petition of the Fire Department. An advertisement, calling for offers to repair the streets, is published in the appropriate column. The petition of Mrs. Frohling for a bridge across Sycamore street was granted. The following real estate transactions are reported: Estate of Albert B Boswell, minor, to A Criticism From the Cloverdale (Sonoma County). In the San Francisco Chronicle, there is a reprint from GAZETTE, in which a defense vines grown in Los Angeles seems to have been needed against Los Angeles has been the Mission is the A-1 Sherrry grape—in fact, the acme in the GAZETTE does not notice the vine. No defense is needed from non attempts at versatility because we see vines for Port and Rhine wines, Sauternes, vine type, and even wines of Hunt-mended for plantation without distinction as to their locality or exposure, and we vines planted on the same soils as the Burger—an especially vine—Trousseau and Chassel name of a large family, not one Semillon and Cabernet Sauvignon recommended as vines to Los Angeles. We do not say they do well in a county where all varieties of vines can be propagated (?) but we would so much if any Cabernet Sauvignon or have ever been made in the Angels? Attend late Viticulture all grapes exhibited did not their proper names, and some Semillon and Sauvignon not both appear under the name, and it is time that people propagated the so-called Cabernet Clara, afterwards termed O should leave off the name Cabernet Malbec simple and alone. To correct another little error refer the GAZETTE to the Olart where it would be later "Pinot" refers to a true families, not to a single variety. Yet further, no one converts term "Claret," as properly ever say that "Claret is made nache," a vine that yields a tinet and typical flavor. "This is a name generally accepted as a class of vines for color, not friery; but, Shades of Cesarit turrier found as a Claret grapeable that error harbors mongrel gels?

Orr, Waters and Lyman with their families, numbering twenty-one persons in all, located in Westminster last week. They are from Fresno county. C. C. Craig, the brakesman injured in the railroad accident near Colton last week, died on Tuesday. McCormack, the tramp, also died on Tuesday as a result of his injuries. The Azusa Land Company are preparing to expend $150,000 in making a tunnel and laying a mile of iron pipe, five feet in diameter, for the purpose of saving the water flowing in the San Gabriel river. It is probable than Mr. Hanna, of the firm of Hanna & Keith, will arrive in Anaheim shortly with a party of ten heads of families who desire to find homes here. They are from a point in Ohio. The S. A. V. I. Co. have contracted with W. B. Lamson to concrete one mile of their ditch, for 55 cents per square yard. This experiment will be watched with interest. Professor Hinton, of San Francisco, will open a dancing school at Kroeger's Hall next Thursday evening. Nov. 15th, for ladies and gentlemen. See advertisement for terms. We had the pleasure of meeting on Wednesday Mr. W. H. Wrightman, a surveyor who has recently located in Santa Ana. His card is published today, and we commend him to the notice of our readers. Mr. Edmund Cahen has been sojourning in town during the week as the guest of his brother. A neglected cold and too close application to business has made it absolutely necessary that he should have a period of rest. There has been a change in the proprietorship of the Anaheim Carriage and Wagon Factory, Mr. Yaeger being now sole proprietor of the blackamith and woodwork departments, Mr. Dennis attending as usual to the painting department. The firm is doing a flourishing business. It is reported that the ladies of Anaheim are about to organize a "quilting society." Whatever "infloence" we possess will be used to discourage the scheme. We have no idea of meekly submitting to any usurpation of the Gazette's functions as a purveyor or of news. Poultry pays. There is no industry in this county which pays better, considering the capital required. It is essential to success, however, that the best varieties of fowls should be reared, and those who intend to go into the business should first assemble.

John Waterman to Frank Buther—50 acres in Ro Canyon de Santa Ana; $3500. About twenty days ago an old Indian woman named Estavan came here from San Diego in a sick and desitute condition, and found shelter in a shanty near town. She was discovered to be in a dying condition on Thursday, and appearances indicated that she had been poisoned. After death, a post-mortem examination and request was held under the direction of Justice Gannon, and the jury rendered a verdict that she died from neglect and starvation and enlargement of the kidneys. The present low price of corn is due in part, we are told, to large importations from Nebraska to San Francisco. The rate charged for transportation heretofore has been high enough to make it unprofitable to import corn from that State for a less price than $2 per cental; but the cost of transportation has been so reduced that it is possible now to import it with the price at $140 per cental. Stimulated by the late rain, and encouraged by the cloudy, moist weather since prevailing, the grass is growing on hill and plain with a vigor which promises an abundance of feed should there be another timely rainfall. The absence of the winds usually prevalent at this time of year, and the prevalence of clouds give encouragement that the coming winter will be a wet one. As the performance on Thanksgiving Evening will be the last which the minstrels ever say that "Claret is made nache," a vine that yields a tinet and typical flavor.

He is evidently versed on the subject for us him; hence we avoid an elaborate and submit these few brief rea The Gazette did not defend Mission because it had abler defenders. It is an imn and the wine-makers of Sonora could not market their wines. As a basis for sherry it is unaffected a port wine grape it is not there are enough Mission already we advocate the planting of thrieties. The advice to plant untried indiscriminately originated in other northern counties. La-rebuke its neighbors for giving and command the Gazette question as to the disinterest of the men giving it. Yes; Cabernet Sauvignon made here. And very good wine. The distinction between claret is quite too infinite grasp. Our ignorance is not it may be said. We admit having erred in Teinturier a claret grape. It exclusively. Though an angel enough of the human about us nationally. Church Notes Services in St Michael's 11 A.M. and 7:30 P.M. There will be preaching in an church to-morrow at 11 A.M. The pastor will hold service thorpe Tuesday evening. Nov. Rev Mr. Bollinger will preach man church every Sunday morning. Rev Mr. Dearing will preachist Episcopal church every noon at 3 o'clock. Post-Office Letter There are letters in the office for the following person: J Bannick, E Decker, J Gordon, J Grantly, Juo C Hill, Mary Hinton, A Lich Gnas B J P Re C W V J Wick It is reported that the ladies of Anaheim are about to organize a "quilting society." Whatever "infloence" we possess will be used to discourage the scheme. We have no idea of meekly submitting to any usurpation of the Gazette's functions as a purveyor or of news. Poultry pays. There is no industry in this county which pays better, considering the capital required. It is essential to success, however, that the best varieties of fowls should be reared, and those who intend to go into the business should first ascertain where the best fowls can be had. To such, we commend W. G. Potter, the proprietor of the poultry yards at Centralia. He keeps no inferior stock, and purchasers can be assured that they get what they pay for. Read his advertisement. At the annual meeting of the Badger Ditch Company, held on last Saturday, the following officers were elected: G. A Greeley, President; B. J. Snodgrass, Treasurer; Dr. J. S. Gardiner, Secretary. The company has leased their ditch for two years to Charles Clark, who agrees to put it in good order and deliver water to stockholders (when there is water) at the rate of $5 per 24 hours. He has the privilege of selling water to non-stockholders when there is more than enough to first supply the members of the company. Referring to an exhibit of Malaga grapes at the Fair by Leonard Parker of Anaheim, the Rural Californian says: "One grape in this exhibit, commonly considered a species of the Malaga, was pronounced by Mrs. Jeanne Carr the 'Grape of Almerica.' She writes: 'It is largely exported to London and other points, packed in cork dust, for winter use. I am not sure exactly where it belongs, but it is not the true Malaga, as generally described and catalogued, but a more valuable shipping grape, and should be largely cultivated.' Mr. Celis, who has been an extensive shipper, examined the grape, and coincided with Mrs. Carr in her opinion." A Mason & Hamlin organ for sale cheap. Apply to Mrs. N. H. Mitchell, Anaheim. Stimulated by the late rain, and encouraged by the cloudy, moist weather since prevailing, the grass is growing on hill and plain with a vigor which promises an abundance of feed should there be another timely rainfall. The absence of the winds usually prevalent at this time of year, and the prevalence of clouds give encouragement that the coming winter will be a wet one. As the performance on Thanksgiving Evening will be the last which the minstrels will give, they propose to make their farewell in a blaze of glory. Many special acts not enumerated in the programme will be given, among them Hedges' laughable Chinese song and dance. The regular meeting of the C. L. S. C. will be held at the house of Mr. J. P. Zeyn on Thursday evening, Nov. 15th. All who are interested are invited to be present. Any who will read the prescribed course may become a member. A reservoir is being erected on Gen. Banning's homestead at Wilmington, which will contain 1,500,000 gallons of water, and pipes are to be laid to supply Wilmington, San Pedro and the shipping in the harbor with water. Times. The citizens of Anaheim have now a rare opportunity of acquiring the polish and culture of the modern dance. Brief lessons on etiquette will be given and illustrated between dances. Hanna & Keith report the sale of J. M. Guinn's ten-acre tract near the depot to Charles Schindler for $900. A large trade in barbed wire has been built up by A. E. and E. A. White, who sell the best kind at the cheapest rate. A revelation in the way of prices for dry goods is given in the new advertisement of the San Francisco Cash Store. Post-Office Letter There are letters in the office for the following persons: J Bannick, E Decker, J Gordon, J Grantly, Juo C Hill, Mary Hinton, Wells, Fargo & Edward Mix, the Los Angeles who was burned last week by a can of coal oil from which ing oil on a piece of burning plywood. A brick mason in Los Angeles fell from a building a city-five feet and was seriously injured. Albrecht Bros., have finished a windmill and tank on the Masonry works are at least 3 remarkable that this whole gig is of native origin, not one new been made by Europeans. A new No. 8 Wheeler & Machine is offered for sale at count. The machine can be sold Hudson's real estate office. A Criticism. From the Cloverdale (Sonoma county) Sentinel In the San Francisco Chronicle of the 231 ult., there is a reprint from the Anaheim Gazette, in which a defense is made of the vines grown in Los Angeles county. None seems to have been needed, for the cry against Los Angeles has been her claim that the mission is the A-1 Sherry and Port wine grape—in fact, the acme in this line; but the Gazette does not notice this unfortunate vine. No defense is needed from Los Angeles for non attempts at versatility of product, for we see vines for Port and Sweet wines, Rhine wines, Santeres, wines of Medoc type, and even wines of Hungary are recommended for plantation within her borders, without distinction as to the soil, climate, locality or exposure, and we see Port wine vines planted on the same situations and souls as the Burger—an especially light wine vine—Troussaeau and Chasselas, this last the name of a large family, not of a single vine. Semillon and Cabernet Sauvignon are also recommended as vines to be grown in Los Angeles. We do not say that they will not do well in a county where all known varieties of vines can be propagated to perfection (?) but we would so much like to know if any Cabernet Sauvignon or Samillon wines have ever been made in the county of the Angels. At the late Viticultural Convention all grapes exhibited did not appear under their proper names, and some required tracing. Semillon and Sauvignon Verte should not both appear under the name of this former, and it is time that people who have propagated the so-called Cabernet Santa Clara, afterwards termed Cabernet Malbec should leave off the name Cabernet and stick to Malbec simple and alone. To correct another little error, we would refer the Gazette to the works of Comte Odart where it would be learned that the term "Pinot" refers to a tribe divided into families, not to a single variety. Yet further, no one conversant with the term "Claret," as properly applied, would ever say that "Claret is made from the Grenache," a vine that yields a wine of a distinct and typical flavor. "Teinturier," too, is a name generally accepted as applying to a class of vines for color, not to a single variety; but, Shades of Cassel where is Teinturier found as a Claret grape? Is it possible that error harbors 'mongst' even the angels? How strange and sad, that all red wines must be termed Clarets, if dry, Ports, if sweet. As the Sentinel is published in a county where phylloxera and all manner of dreadful insects prey upon vines, its editor has necessarily had to study all matters connected with Sumatra there is a tribe, the Battac, who have very decided views on marital infidelity. The guilty one is simply eaten alive by his fellow-countrymen. But he cannot be executed if the wife's friends do not appear and take part in the sanguinary festival. On the day of the execution, the culprit is bound to a stake, arms stretched out. The husband, as the party injured, comes first, and selects that part of the victim which pleases him most—generally the ears. Then the relatives follow, helping themselves as inclined. Then the judge finishes up, by cutting off the head, and bringing it home to hang it up as an heirloom; the brain is preserved apart, as possessing magical virtues. The friends are at liberty to eat the morsels of the victim cooked or raw, but they must be consumed at the place of execution. Lemons, pepper and salt are provided ad libitum from the sale of the culprit's effects; rice is sometimes added. Drink is prohibited, save whatever of blood may be caught in the hollow of a bamboo cane. Women are not allowed at all to be present at the scene, and are never permitted to indulge in cannibalism. The palm of the hand and the sole of the foot are ranked as the tidbits. Annuitants, says Byron, never die. Now, one of the chief incentives to murder, in France, originates from parents, who have made the mistake to resign their business, or property, to their children for a life pension, existing beyond four score years. With the Battas, when a parent becomes too old to work, he quietly goes up a tree, and selecting a horizontal branch, hangs down from the same. His relatives dance round him, exclaiming: "When the fruit's ripe it will drop!" When he falls down, he is set upon and eaten. In time of peace the Battas eat about one hundred of their patriarchs in this manner. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by E.

As the Sentinel is published in a county where phylloxera and all manner of dreadful insects prey upon vines, its editor has necessarily had to study all matters connected with the vineyard much more thoroughly than if his lines were cast in more pleasant places. He is evidently too profoundly versed on the subject for us to cope with; hence we avoid an elaborate discussion and submit these few brief remarks: The GAZETTE did not defend the unfortunate Mission, because it had already found tabler defenders. It is an invaluable vine, and the wine-makers of Sonoma county even could not market their wines without its aid. As a basis for sherry it is unapproachable; as a port wine grape it is not the best. There are enough Mission already planted, hence we advocate the planting of treed foreign varieties. The advice to plant untried foreign vines is discriminately originated in Sonoma and other northern counties. Let the Sentinel rebuke its neighbors for giving such advice, and commend the GAZETTE for raising a question as to the disinterestedness of some of the men giving it. Yes; Cabernet-Sauvignon wine has been made here. And very good wine it is. The distinction between red wine and claret is quite too infinitesimal for us to grasp. Our ignorance is not strange, though it may be sad. We admit having erred in calling the Teinturier a claret grape. It is for coloring, exclusively. Though an angel, there is just enough of the human about us to err occasionally. Church Notes. Services in St. Michael's to-morrow at 11 A.M. and 7:30 P.M.

Post-Office Letter List. There are letters in the Anaheim postoffice for the following persons: Bannick, E Decker, Gordon, Grantly, no C Hill, lary Hinton, A Liebest, Gras F Lenton, J P Rector, C W Williams, J Wickey.

The prayer of said petition is hereby granted. Supervisor Giroux introduced the following resolution: Whereas, The Board of Supervisors of the county of Los Angeles has received a communication from Sacramento, signed by the Governor, Attorney General and Controller of the State of California, of which the following is a copy: (Here follows the communication previously referred to.) Whereas, The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has at the same time submitted a proposition to this Board offering to pay at once all State and county taxes now in litigation, at an assessed valuation of $10,500 per mile for each mile of its road, and to further pay all costs incurred by this county in the prosecution of its several tax suits to date; and wherefore this Board is of the opinion that the further delay required for the prosecution of an appeal would be disastrous to the tax payers of this county, and that the same is inexepient, and that the best interests of the State and county will be subserved by an immediate acceptance of the proposition made by said Southern Pacific Railroad Company: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county, That this Board deems the appeal mentioned in the foregoing letter expedient, and that it declines to subscribe any money for the purpose of prosecuting the same. Resolved further, That the Governor, Attorney General and Controller of the State of California be and they hereby are respectfully requested and urged to settle the said matter upon the basis proposed by said railroad company, or to take such steps as will enable the county of Los Angeles to account drop!

Edward Mix, the Los Angeles baker who was burned last week by the explosion at a can of coal oil from which he was pouring oil on a piece of burning paper, died on Thursday. If anyone is mourning the loss of cattle or horses, he may find comfort in the notice published by R. J. Northam to-day. A brick mason in Los Angeles named Joons fell from a building a distance of twenty-five feet and was seriously injured. Albrecht Bros. have finished putting up windmill and tank on the Metz property. The system of irrigation now in use in the Ladras Presidency is on a vast scale. In all it includes nearly 53,000 tanks, requiring embankments which would extend a distance of 30,000 miles, while the total number of masonry works are at least 300,000. It is remarkable that this whole gigantic scheme of native origin, not one new tank having been made by Europeans. A new No. 8 Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine is offered for sale at a large discount. The machine can be seen at D. W. Hudson's real estate office. Resolved by the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county, That this Board deems the appeal mentioned in the foregoing letter expedient, and that it declines to subscribe any money for the purpose of prosecuting the same. Resolved further, That the Governor, Attorney General and Controller of the State of California be and they hereby are respectfully requested and urged to settle the said matter upon the basis proposed by said railroad company, or to take such steps as will enable the county of Los Angeles to accept said proposition of the railroad company for itself at as early day as possible. The resolution was adopted. Supervisors Moesser and Reichard voted no, for the reason that no petition has been circulated in their districts, as in other districts, to get the expression of the people. WEDNESDAY, Nov. 7. The Chairman of the Board, in conjunction with the District Attorney, is hereby authorized to rent the ground, without any improvements, known as the Court house lot on Temple street. The Clerk was instructed to communicate with the County Clerk of Alameda and Santa Clara counties, as the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles county are about to erect a court house and jail, and request them to forward plans of their courthouses and jails per Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, at our expense, to be returned to them in good condition. In re matter of Putney, petition to sink artesian wells: Motion of Supervisor Giroux that the action of the Board yesterday in denying Mr. Putney's petition be reconsidered. Motion lost. Board adjourned till Monday, December 3, at 10 A.M. Important Enterprise at Anaheim The Anaheim Water Company have voted a hundred thousand dollars for the erection of a storage dam at the neck of the forty-one acres deeded to the Company by Kraemer two years ago. The plan is to build a stone abutment dam that will hold enough water to give them a surfeit. This means a new era to Anaheim and vicinity and benefits which cannot be estimated. — Times.
