WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY NOV. 17. 1883 Kleinigkeiten. The steamer Newport was stuck fast on the bar at Newport from October 34th until November 10th. The S. P. R. R. now allows 150 pounds of baggage to be carried free. One hundred pounds has treasured been the limit. Prof. Hinton's dancing school was very well attended on the opening night, and he feels encouraged by the patronage given him. Mr. Lewis of the City Stables is adding a large and substantial addition to his building. Editor Baker calls editor Waite a "fangless old soapstick and a sickous old goose." A happy but incongruous combination. Mr. Shrewbery, of Carbondale, is about to burn another large kiln of lime. It is a very superior article for some kinds of work, and it can be sold much cheaper than the imported kind. The Anaheim and North Anaheim ditches have been cleaned and put in order for winter irrigation, which, with a continuance of the present weather, will begin probably next week. The jury in the case of T. F. Mitchell, in the Superior Court, failed to agree and were discharged. Mitchell is charged with killing Moore at Newball some months ago. Self-defense is pleaded. A small frame building in East Los Angeles was burned on Monday night. After the fire the remains of two men were discovered, and identified as being those of Rudolph Weinhold a well known florist, and T. Chappelow, his assistant. At the inquest Dr. Wiggin testified that he and his wife had passed the previous evening with the deceased, and that they took the doctor and his wife home about 9:30, which was the last seen of them. They were both sober. It is supposed that Weinhold and Chappelow were murdered in their beds and the house fired to conceal the crime. There were some testimony as to the suspicious presence of a negro near the worm of the murder, but the jury gave a verdict that the crime was committed by some persons unknown. Weinhold's body was burned almost beyond recognition, but Chappelow was easily recognizable. They can't do it, but they have did it. That is to say, the State Board of Equalization have increased the taxable value of mortgages in this county fifteen per cent. Thus, if a taxpayer has loaned $4,000 and for security has taken a mortgage on real estate, he must pay a tax on $4,600. This very peculiar statement would seem to be founded on misapprehension, but we assure our readers that it is a fact, curious though it may appear. Our first knowledge of this came from Mr. James of the Bank of Anaheim, who found that 15 per cent. had been added to the face value of his mortgages. Since then we see that the San Francisco bankers have refused to submit to the imposition, and that a case is being prepared for the Supreme Court which will test the validity of the State Board's action in increasing the value of mortgages. Mr. A. McDermont of Orangethorpe has been quite seriously ill with bronchitis and pneumonia. We learn from Dr. Gardiner, his physician, that while Mr. McDermont was in Los Angeles on business he was subpoenaed on a jury; and that at night the jury VALUE OF ANNIE Some few years ago a business brings him into land here which was $30 to $40 per acre. His price was too high, and land would get cheaper in the investment. Fecession he returned his finding property depreciated found it steadily advanced that now confronts him as a matter of speculation $100 per acre for the years ago went a begging that price. Although land values increasingly advanced in have not reached one-half will ultimately be placed we are glad to be able to held at much lower figures other localities in the advantages are not one wholly personal inflation has attained but the signs of present store promise are so unheard no hesitancy in assuring to the ultimate value of may remark, have we thereby acting upon our belief what means we have in mind.

The jury in the case of T. F. Mitchell, in the Superior Court, failed to agree and were discharged. Mitchell is charged with killing Moore at Newball some months ago. Self-defense is pleaded. A little son of A.B. Austin, of Florence, aged 5 years, last Saturday let an axe fall on his hand, cutting it nearly in two. He is now at the house of his grandfather, Mr. Butler, at Florence, and the surgeons are debating the necessity of amputating it — Times. While fishing in the ocean near the mouth of New River on Monday, Capt. Wilson captured a young shark of the man-eating species, weighing 300 pounds. The Cap's guarantees that before the next bathing season he will have captured all such variants on this part of the coast. The following real estate transactions are reported: Fredrick Upson to Henry Abels WJ of NW; Sec 10, T 4 S, R 11 W; $8000. Alfred Robinson, trustee, to Mrs Rosa Bella E Allen—SWJ of SW; Sec 30, T 3 S, R 11 W; $1368.49. Thomas J. Griever to James Grier 24 acres in lot 6, Anaheim extension; $5000. The trial of John Foster for the murder of Henry Anahel began in the Superior Court on Monday and ended at 2 o'clock on Thursday morning by the jury rendering a verdict of guilty and exclosing the penalty at imprisonment for life. Mrs. Anahel and Mrs. Greenleaf, charged with being accessories to the murder, will be tried on November 19th. O.N. Hall special agent for the insurance firm of Hutchinson & Mann, was in town during the week. He remarked that "the Planters' Hotel is the best kept house on the Pacific coast." As Mr Hall is traveling during ten months of the year, his opinion on this matter is entitled to consultation. The fact is that Anaheim is very fortunate in having two excellent hotels. W.Y. Krabball, who with five other men was tried last week in the Superior Court for the murder of Ben Avise as El Monte, was found guilty of manslaughter, and the others were discharged. Krabball was to have been sentenced on last Monday, but that formality was posed until the 19th inst., to give the Court time to inquire into the materiality of some newly discovered evidence. Mr. A. McDermont of Orangethorpe has been quite seriously ill with bronchitis and pneumonia. We learn from Dr. Gardiner, his physician, that while Mr. McDermont was in Los Angeles on business he was subpoenaed on a jury, and that at night the jury were transferred from the warm courtroom to a small, ill-smelling cold room, where they passed the night, with the result that he contracted a cold which has developed into a very serious illness. The outragous treatment of jars, of which complaint has been made heretofore, is probably due in a great degree to the inconvenience, insensable from the beastly barn used as a Court House; but it does seem possible that some of these inconveniences might be mitigated if the proper officials could be provided into a sense of their duty in the premises. Through the kindness of Dr. Hardin, we had on Thursday the opportunity of inspecting a genuine or, as the Doctor expressed it, a beautiful case of leprosy. A young Cinnamon is the victim, and his outward appearance gives no indication that he is suffering from the loathsome disease. The lepros spots, however, were numerous on his arms and body, but as they made their appearance only about nine months ago, they have not yet developed the repulsive aspect characteristic of the later stages of the disease. There is no doubt in the Doctor's mind that it is a case of genital leprosy. It is barely possible that, the case being submitted to medical treatment at so early a stage, its ravages may be stayed or eradicated from the system. There has been two communications sent to this office protesting against the practice of ringing the fire bell to the manning which it was rang last Tuesday evening. These protests are proper and reasonable; the rapid ringing of the bell on Tuesday evening was his repertoire and unreasonable. No better way could be devised to bring the department into disrepute, and if the members desire to retain the good opinion held of them by the e community, they ought hereafter to guard the bell against all unauthorized handling. We assume, of course, that the alarm on Tuesday was not the work of any responsible member of he department. A letter has been received from Mr. D.B. Samuer by his brother-in-law, Mr Knapp, of the Planters' Hotel, stating that he and his family will leave Grand Rapids, Michigan on December 5th, direct for Anaheim. This was anticipated by Mr. Knapp, who last week purposed 40 acres of the C-lier tract in North Anaheim train station. Since then we see that the San Francisco bankers have refused to submit to the position, and that a case is being prepared for the Supreme Court which will test the validity of the State Board's action in increasing the value of mortgages.

A sheep owner has ad Henry Watson arrested for assault, and the trial of the case will come up in Justice Bailey's Court on Monday. It is alleged that the plaintiff trespassed with his sheep on Watson's property, and upon refusing to pay damages he was assaulted and severely injured. C. Garnier, another sheepowner, was assaulted near Los Angeles by his herder, and it is feared his wounds will result fatally. Several advertisements of interest are published today. A parlor stove is offered for sale cheap. A stack of good barley hay likewise. An assessment of one dollar a share has been levied by the water company. Dr. Cowan's office days will be for the present on Fridays and Saturdays. A sale of a house and lot to satisfy a judgment will take place on December 10th. A spring wagon, etc., is offered for sale. On Wednesday last while Dr. Ellis was driving with a friend in the suburbs of the city, his horse's head violently encountered a telephone wire. Had the wire been a little less lax it would have caught the doctor's face and fatal results might have followed. The wire happily gave way and thus the next passer-by was free from accident. The doctor suggests a town ordinance to compel owners of lax wires to keep a boy posted near with a colored flag till the condition changes. Children rapidly improve under the influence of the dancing school. It strengthens the body, polishes the manners and elevates the mind.

Sumner by his brother in law, Mr Knapp, of the Planters' Hotel, stating that he and his family will leave Grand Rapids, Michigan on December 5th, direct for Anaheim. This was anticipated by Mr. Knapp, who last week purchased 40 acres of the Collier tract in North Anaheim twenty acres for himself and twenty for Mr. Sumner. The improvement of the trace will begin immediately upon Mr. Sumner's arrival; and, knowing the two gentlemen as we do, there is no danger in predicting that the improvements will be of the most judicious and substantial kind. There is a brisk demand for oranges of a high grade. Some of the growers in North Anaheim have contracted to sell their crop for $2 50 a box. This is better than in Florida, if the following from the Baltimore Sun is correct: "Florida oranges are moving slowly on account of their maturing slowly. Jobbers are making their contracts for the fruit by the box instead of by the thousand. The crop one grove near Sanford, estimated at 4,000 boxes, has been sold at $2 10 per box, the purchaser bearing the expense of picking and boxing." A Gazette reporter attended a rehearsal of the Anaheim Minstrels the other evening, and can guarantee to the public that the entertainment on Thanksgiving Evening will be one which they will find it impossible to carp at. It will be a most original and unique performance. The services of the accomplished pianist, Proof. Oeberling, late of Cincinnati, have been secured, and many other attractions, not thought of when the programme was printed, will be presented during the evening. Reserved seats can be secured at J. Helmsen's. Those who think that dancing will "come" to them are mistaken. The opportunity comes, the dancing waits on the teacher. 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.

Nevada is thus criticised paper: It would seem, according ports, that the time has arisen to plant the red flag on peaks and ring the bell for a population is now down to creasing at a rapid rate beginning to make firewood costly buildings erected at Virginia City. We move about the Constitution that will end G. Fair to possess himself at much of the State as is not a control. VALUE OF ANAHEIM LANDS. Some few years ago a gentleman, whose business brings him annually to Anaheim, was half induced to invest some of his money in land here which was then held at from $30 to $40 per acre. He decided that the price was too high, and confident that the land would get cheaper he postponed making the investment. For three years in succession he returned here, but instead of finding property depreciating in value he found it steadily advancing, and the problem that now confronts him is whether he will, as a matter of speculation, pay from $80 to $100 per acre for the land which a few years ago went a begging for less than half that price. Although land values have steadily and increasingly advanced in this section, they have not reached one-half the value which will ultimately be placed upon them. And we are glad to be able to say that land is held at much lower figures than in many other localities in the county where the advantages are not one whit superior. No superficial inflation has affected this district, but the signs of present prosperity and future promise are so unmistakable that we have no hesitation in asserting our belief as to the ultimate value of the land; nor, we may remark, have we the slightest hesitancy in acting upon our belief and investing what means we have in Anaheim property. We hope that no writings of ours will attract speculators, or cause them to invest in property. Speculators are not wanted; it is men who want to make homes, who improve the land they buy and add to the prosperity of the district—these are the kind of men we want to see buy the broad acres which invite their labor and which will respond so spontaneously to the efforts of the husband-man.

The Industry Spreading—Scraps from South African Newspapers. The industry of ostrich farming seems to have a fascination about it not altogether due to the large profits which it is hoped will follow its successful establishment. Its novelty has undoubtedly a great deal to do with attracting so much attention, and it is but natural that among the thousands who are looking forward to settling in Southern California there should be many to whom ostrich farming presents greater attractions than the more common pursuits of grape or orange growing. That the thoughts of very many people are turned to this pursuit is evidenced by the number of letters received at this office from all parts of the Union regarding the Anaheim farm; and that the interest manifested does not stop at inquiry, is evidenced by the further fact that in the month of September the Cape Colonial Government passed a law placing an export duty of £50 ($250) on every ostrich shipped from the colony, thus showing that they are alarmed at possible competition in the United States, and that they intend to place every legal impediment in the way of purchasers of birds. This additional duty of $250 makes ostriches quite costly, and will doubtless serve to check their too numerous exportation. However, this is but a temporary check to the new industry; for notwithstanding the failure up to the present to hatch healthy chicks, there is no fear that in due time plenty of chicks will be raised. The failure heretofore is due to natural and unavoidable causes, and is easily explainable. As a matter of fact, there is at the present time but one ostrich farm in the United States, and that is the Anaheim farm. The Doctor Winters who guttled a Los Angeles reporter with a story of his ostrich farm near Florence, A. T., is a fraud. There is no such farm. Should this paragraph meet the eye of the editor of the New York Times he will please make a note of it. In a recent issue of that paper appeared a state number of South African papers from which we cull the following paragraphs: The sale of feathers at Port Elizabeth during April, 1883, realized £60,000, being £15,000 larger than during the same period last year. A feather dealer in Oudtahoorn has gone to New York to extend business. The birds sent to Adelaide had a good voyage, the importer getting a reward from the Government. There were shipped by one steamer to London forty-six cases of ostrich feathers, weighing 2,423 lbs., and valued approximately at £6,032. Post-Office Letter List.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—The great area of land in around and about Anaheim that is now planted in vines, some in full bearing, some just coming into bearing, and others that will in one or two years come into bearing, to say nothing of the many thousands of acres that will be planted the next few years, demonstrates the fact that the production of grapes will, by another year, be in advance of the facilities for the manufacturing of wine, unless the producers either singly or jointly unite and manufacture their own crops. I would suggest that at least two or three cooperative wineries be established if the grape-growers cannot unite on one. Say, one to be located near the depot for the vineyards south and west of Anaheim, one in the Orangethorpe district and one in Placentia. There are now about 1000 acres of vines in the three districts above named, and in four or five years there will be 1000 acres more. What a splendid winery could be operated by such vineyards. If each vineyardist prepares to manufacture his own wine, he would have to incur the same expense for cellar, crusher, crushing vats, pumps, hose, still, etc., that would suffice for a dozen by cooperation. If all who are not now prepared to make their own wine could organize a joint stock company, erect a good wine house and still, get the necessary tanks, vats, pipes, etc., hire an expert manufacturer and share in the profits according to each interest. It would render the grower independent and when buyers would come to buy wine and heard of a cellar with from 300,000 to 500,000 gallons of wine, it would be visited and better sales could be made than of there were a dozen or two of small cellars with from 1000 to 10,000 gallons. Besides business correspondence could be established in Eastern cities where direct assignments could be made. If such an enterprise was entered into for next season it should be organized at once and begin to make preparations so that all would be ready when the season for gathering grapes arrived. If any units thrown out in this communication are thought to be of any value, I should be glad to see a meeting of interested parties called at an early day for mutual exchange of ideas. W. M. McFADDEN. Placentia, Nov. 9, 1883. Church Notes. There will be morning service and celebration of the Holy Communion at St. Michael's church on Sunday at 11 A.M. Evening service and sermon at 7:30 P.M. hatch healthy chicks, there is no fear that in due time plenty of chicks will be raised. The failure herefore is due to natural and unavoidable causes, and is easily explainable. As a matter of fact, there is at the present time but one ostrich farm in the United States, and that is the Anaheim farm. The Doctor Winters who gulled a Los Angeles reporter with a story of his ostrich farm near Florence, A. T., is a fraud. There is no such farm. Should this paragraph meet the eye of the editor of the New York Times he will please make a note of it. In a recent issue of that paper appeared a statement that "the stock for the first ostrich farm in the United States was shipped to 'Sylvan Lake, Florida,' yesterday"—sometime in October, whereas the Anaheim farm has been in operation since last April. We may bear with equanimity Florida's claims to superiority of climate; we may even meekly, and without retort, hear it asserted that Florida oranges are better than those grown at Anaheim; but when a cold-blooded attempt is made to claim the honor of the first ostrich farm, we paint our car red, sharpen our pencil and dance the war dance. There is a point where forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Concerning the Florida farm, (which is to be stocked with but three pairs of 3-year old birds, whereas the Anaheim farm has 22) the Times says: The birds shipped weighed from 150 to 200 pounds each, and stood about 7 feet high without any stockings. They are natives of Nabla, in Upper Africa, and were captured while young by the agents of Charles Reiche & Brooner, of this City and Honouce, who are part proprietors of the projected ostrich farm. It took eight months to transport safely the birds from Nubia to this City. They reached here on Sept. 2, and for six weeks have been revealing in a diet of a fine quality of hay and a delicious mash of bran cans and cracked corn, in the winds of the Renches' wild animal farm at Hoboken. Notwithstanding their cereal reception and princely treatment, they were a discarded and dishearden set of birds when they set out on their voyage to the sunny South. Their plumage was very much pumped and broken and they seemed to pine for one square meal of the sands of the desert. The attendants assert that the broken plumage was due to the accidents and incidents of their long voyage rather than a yearning for sand as a steady diet and the exhibition of deplorable bad taste in the rejection of Hoboken tomato-cans and broken glassware as a substitute. Mr. Chariton Jones will be the guardian of the flock on their arrival in Florida. He has set apart 190 acres of his five-hundred-acre farm for the purposes of this experiment in farming. The land forms a peninsula extending into the lake which gives the town its name. This has been inclosed to keep out alligators and other enemies of the ostrich race. A pen has been provided as a home for the strangers, and they will be treated to more of the hay and mash diet until they shall become well enough acquainted with their new quarters to be able to shift for themselves. Their first crop of feathers will be due next year, after they have mounted their present wholly unmarkable coat and got to work at the feather business in earnest. A year later, or when 5 years old, they are expected to be able to furnish two crops annually and begin the raising of families. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by E.

Her population is now down to 60,000, and decreasing at a rapid rate. Her citizens are beginning to make firewood of the large and costly buildings erected at Gold Hill and Virginia City. We move an amendment to the Constitution that will enable Hon. Jas. G. Fair to possess himself at cost price of much of the State as is not already under his control. Ostrich farming appears to flourish in Egypt, into which historical country it has but lately been introduced. The most noted farm is situated at Cairo, within a short distance of the Virgin's tree, which is still standing, and under which tradition informs us the Virgin with the infant Jesus and Joseph reposed when they fleed into Egypt. A correspondent of the New York Herald thus describes the farm: The ostrich farm extends from the Virgin's tree to the desert, and comprises several acres of land surrounded by high mud walls. The greater part of the farm is desert, not because it is incapable of cultivation, but because the loose, pebbly sand is essential to the well being of the ostrich. There are at present on the farm 120 birds of more than a year's growth, and of those fifteen are female and twelve are male adults—that is to say, they are more than three years old, the age at which they commence to lay. Twelve of the adults are now laying and three are engaged in hatching—one being upon twenty-two, one upon fourteen and one upon eleven eggs. Mr. Wetter, the ostrich director, has been very fortunate in his efforts to domesticate the ostrich in Egypt. Out of 108 birds hatched last season 80 yearlings are now alive and healthy—a very successful result, when it is borne in mind that during the late Arab unpleasantness the catrices were much neglected. After visiting the breeding enclosures and those where the yearlings were parked, we were conducted to the incubating house, and to a wire cage where this season's birds were scampering about full of health and vigor. By applying one of the eggs to a hole cut in a piece of blackened cariboard and placing it against the sun, the ostrich farmer showed us a young bird which had been incubated by artificial means and had reached maturity, actually pecking at the interior of the shell and struggling to break out of prison. Dr. Sketchley has favored us with a num- DIED. In Los Angeles, Nov. 11, Annie Sressowich, aged 15 months. In Los Angeles, Nov. 12, Howard Chapman, aged 55 years and 4 months.
