A tight-board fence now excludes the ostriches from the view of the public and the public from the view of the ostriches, an arrangement which makes it possible for the birds to pay more attention to the serious concerns of life, and less attention to what is going on outside the paddocks. The birds are doing exceedingly well, and the next hatching season—which begins in a few weeks—is expected to result in the stocking of the farm with hundreds of chicks. The Company have purchased 320 acres of land where the farm is, and Superintendent Sketchley intends to make it a model place. He is now building a reservoir 3½ acres in extent, which can be filled every nine days by the artesian well, and which will contain water enough for the irrigation of at least 250 acres. The plans for this year embrace the planting of eighty acres of alfalfa and many thousands of blue gums in belts throughout the farm. The seed of a tree new to this vicinity—the black wattle—has been procured from Australia and will be planted in nursery this season. The wattle is a rapid grower—much more so than the encalyptus, and is superior to it as firewood. Four fine-looking mules are at the farm awaiting a claimant. See the advertisement. Tickets of admission to the farm are for sale at this office and at the Anaheim Hotel. Stockholders of the Anaheim or N. A. Canai Company, who have not as yet described the land on which they want their stock in the new company, will please call immediately on Mr. Keith and give him the desired information. Some opposition is manifested to this requirement of locating stock. There should be none, because it is merely an expedient to assist in the speedy organization of the new incorporation. The by-laws to be adopted by the stockholders can contain a provision that the water can be run on any part of the shareholder’s land, but until such a provision is adopted it is necessary to locate the stock. This matter is entirely in the hands of the stockholders. All that is asked of them now is that they consent to this all rain is open nia, therefore words "what expressive enoof last Sunday fessed, however has made a comin matters agrie in the plans an pie.

When the wind blows from the direction of those snow-capped mountains, the man from the East will lose his home-sickness. The keen air will remind him of home, sweet home. A barometer of the times is the awakened energy of the nurserymen. They know that these rains mean new vineyards and orchards, and each is striving to secure the patronage of purchasers. The nomination of Richard Melrose as Postmaster at Anaheim was confirmed by the Senate on Wednesday. It is said that the postoffice will be located in a new brick building to be built immediately on the lot adjoining the Bank of Anaheim. Both of our very excellent hotels have been taxed to the utmost for several weeks to provide accommodations for their guests who arrive daily. A year ago there was not business enough for one hotel. This is evidence that "things are moving." Sowing is being prosecuted with great energy. A much larger area of crops will be planted this year than during many previous years, and the outlook is quite flattering for a heavy yield. Certain it is that the ground is now more saturated with moisture than at any time during the past five years. It is quite possible that either through laches or fraud on the part of a former municipal council the city of Los Angeles has parted with a valuable water right. The Los Angeles Water Works claim that according to their contract with the city they are entitled to all the water of the Los Angeles river. A suit will probably be brought by the city to test the matter. It is a well settled fact that phylloxera will never obtain a lodgment in vineyards which are annually irrigated. It is equally well known that resistant vines, so called, will after a time lose their resistant qualities and succumb to the phylloxera's attacks. Those, therefore, who desire to embark in the business of grape-growing should remember these facts and lay their plans accordingly. On last Tuesday morning as Mr. Neill was driving from Santa Ana to Anaheim he had a damp adventure in crossing the Santiago creek. A torrent of water was flowing in the creek at the crossing place, and so swift and deep was it that Mr. Neill's buggy was overturned and he had a lively "pull for the shore." The loss of two buggy robes, a thorough wetting and a great shock to his feelings comprised all the damage. Some opposition is manifested to this requirement of locating stock. There should be none, because it is merely an expedient to assist in the speedy organization of the new incorporation. The by-laws to be adopted by the stockholders can contain a provision that the water can be run on any part of the shareholder's land, but until such a provision is adopted it is necessary to locate the stock. This matter is entirely in the hands of the stockholders. All that is asked of them now is that they consent to this formality for the present and not seek to delay matters by contentious discussion of a very inconsequential question. A correspondent of a Missouri paper, writing from this county, says: "As to the tertility of the soil it is remarkable, especially when brought under a state of cultivation by irrigation. In certain localities the land is especially adapted to alfalfa, and it is cut six or seven times during the year, producing one to two tons per acre each cutting; the hay sells readily for $10 to $13 per ton, loose. On these same lands barley is sown, mostly for hay. Pumpkins and squashes are raised so plentifully that they are, with many, the principal feed for cattle and hogs. Irish and sweet potatoes are a staple crop with those who engage in farming, and they grow to a wonderful size. Vegetables of every description grow readily and produce prostigious crops."

The loss of two buggy robes, a thorough wetting and a great shock to his feelings comprised all the damage. —It rained much more in the foothills than in the valleys, and in consequence all the irrigating ditches were somewhat damaged. The Cajon ditch, the Anaheim ditch and the Santa Ana ditch suffered considerably by being filled at certain points with sand and rock washed down from the hills. The damage to the two first-named ditches will be repaired within a week. The extent of the damage to the Santa Ana ditch we have been unable to ascertain. —The following real estate transaction are reported: J B Pierce to Benjamin Dreyfus—Town lot No 39, Anaheim; $300.

In visiting Santa Ana we particularly noticed the elegant office and residence of Dr. Bailey. It is certainly the most beautiful place in town and the Doctor seems to be having unlimited success, many patients from other parts of the county going to him for treatment. His reputation for skill and success is known far and near, especially so in the various diseases of ladies and children. As for surgery he has long been considered one of the best in Southern California. He Explains. I say, boss, wasn't you rather hard on a fellow last week with your sarcasm? Now, if you had just waited till these little showers of Sunday and Monday had passed over, you would have seen I was much nearer the truth than these wise ones who knew we were going to have another dry season. As to the "crops lodging," that was a mere figure of speech, and referred (as you ought to know yourself how it is) to the Masons and Odd Fellows, in their excuses to their wives for not having been at home all night—that "the rain lodged them, and their crops were suffering still." Credit where credit is due, even to your PREVARICATOR. To the Public. Please bear in mind that this is the last season that I will carry any toys, crockery, glassware, lamps, etc. I will close them out below cost. This is bona fide, and no business trick. Also a fine lot of sandies at low prices. I will rent part of my store alter New Year. Come one, come all. Your name. FRANK EY. THE RAIN. All rain is opportune in Southern California, therefore the very commonly spoken words "what an opportune rain" is hardly expressive enough in referring to the rainfall of last Sunday and Monday. It must be confessed, however, that the copious downpour has made a complete transformation not only in matters agricultural and horticultural, but in the plans and expectations of all the people. The presaging of a dry winter had caused the tightening of purse strings, the abandonment of improvements and hundreds of schemes were, metaphorically speaking, laid upon the shelf for a time. But now the bag which holds the siller will be less tightly clenched, the deferred improvements will be made and the hundred and one plans will be brought down from the shelf again and receive due consideration. For hath not the clouds sent down their moisture; hath not the heavens opened and poured water upon the thirsty earth? Hath not the blades o' grass been freshened, and is there not growing under the genial warmth of the sun the feed which is to furnish abundant sustenance for our flocks? The heavenly zanjero who orders the distribution of the waters from above cares not one whit for irrigation district boundaries. His benevolence, His love, is too all-embracing to make any such fine distinctions, hence the whole State was blessed by this timely rainfall. From Siskiyou to San Diego comes jubilant tidings, and the rather gloomy reports regarding the outlook for crops in the various counties, reported in the Gazette last week, show the reverse of affairs as they are to-day. Under very favorable conditions—that is, if no drying, fierce north winds prevail during the next two months, the raising of a large crop of cereals is assured even without further rain. But there is every reason to hope for more rain, and if it comes it will offset the drying effect of the wind which may be expected. A ride throughout the country is quite inspiriting. The grass is growing so fast as to be almost visible in its growth, and in a week or ten days there will be a lush abundance of feed on the plains. The grain fields, freshened and invigorated, are also growing finely, and as the majority of the fields in this immediate vicinity were irrigated before A Pean of Praise. Ed. Gazette.—There is nothing startling nor original in the remark that the rain which fell upon us this week was a magnificent one, nor will the world and state of affairs generally be thrown from their equilibrium if we declare openly that in consequence thereof we feel extremely joyful; nevertheless it was a magnificent rain, and our joy has been made full thereby—too full for silence. Such a splendid rain! It has rounded out and overflown our cup of gladness which had commenced to fill when the people recently proclaimed so unanimously in favor of consolidating the water interests of this section. The rain forms a part of our water question; and the two inches, or thereabouts, which we have just received constitutes as it were another lever put in under our state of affairs to help along the inevitable boom dawning over our horizon by reason of the projected measures respecting the water supply. Only a few days ago the people voted to sink the old contentious companies and to incorporate a new union company under which, as the name implies, all are to join hands harmoniously in the good purposes designated; and now, following close on the heels of that excellent change, have come the generous clouds unwilling to be outdone in the onward working of things for the good of this fairy land and have poured upon us a gloriously rich supply. Who can help feeling joyful under these bright auspices? Such a glorious rain it was! And coming at this time, when the air is full of the slogan of prosperity over the building in a short time from now of a large reservoir, and placing it and the several ditches under a better government than the old one—which means so much for this gifted land—it clearly says in a voice clear and loud, "between the outpouring clouds and the reservoir and the flowing ditches, all working harmoniously together, this beautiful valley is doubly assured of the brightest success." What more stirring picture than the leaden clouds now pouring down their blessed waters from time to time upon orchards and vineyards and stretches of grain, and now, the rolling away of the clouds having shifted the scene again to a clear sky, the rays of the sun falling over a permanent and well constructed reservoir full to the brim, so to LOS ANGELES MARKETS.

But there is every reason to hope for more rain, and if it comes it will offset the drying effect of the wind which may be expected. A ride throughout the country is quite inspiriting. The grass is growing so fast as to be almost visible in its growth, and in a week or ten days there will be a lush abundance of feed on the plains. The grain fields, freshened and invigorated, are also growing finely, and as the majority of the fields in this immediate vicinity were irrigated before the rains, the double soaking insures a crop beyond peradventure. The Santa Ana river is swollen to greater proportions than it has been for years. The day before the rain there was not a hundred inches of surplus water in the river—all was taken out by the various irrigating ditches. Now a hundred ditches could not begin to take out the water which is flowing to waste, and the probabilities are that for weeks to come there will be a great surplus. The mountains are heavily covered with snow and they will keep the river well supplied with water for some time to come. The rain record, as kept by Mr. Langenberger, gives the following measurements: To 12 M. on the 27th...30 To 5 P.M. on the 28th...86 To 8 A.M. on the 29th...68 Total...1.84 inches This makes the season's rainfall 5.21 inches to date. In 1883 the total rainfall was but 5.17 inches. Other gauges record more of a rainfall than the one quoted—in one instance as high as 2¼ inches for the last storm. Mr. E. S. Saxton reports the fall at his place north of town, from the 27th to the 29th inclusive, at 23-16 inches, the total for the season 5½ inches, as against 2 inches last season to February 10th and 63-16 inches for the whole season to June 1st. FRIDAY, Feb. 1st—During the night there was a steady but light fall of rain, and as we go to press appearances indicate that the storm is not yet over. The fall of last night amounted to .42, making the total for the season, according to the town gauge, 5.63 inches. At Mr. Saxton's, the rainfall of Thursday night was half an inch, making the total for the season 6 inches. Rejected. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company are in receipt of the following: ORANCE, Cal., Jan. 26, 1884. Gentlemen:—We have consulted our attorneys and stockholders and decided not to accept your proposition of October 18, 1883; that is, to give Yorbas one-half of the amount due them and divide the remainder equally. But if you are willing to divide the waters of the stream, one-half of the whole to the Santa Ana side and the remaining halt to go which means so much for this gifted land—it clearly says in a voice clear and loud, "between the outpouring clouds and the reservoir and the flowing ditches, all working harmoniously together, this beautiful valley is doubly assured of the brightest success." What more stirring picture than the leader clouds now pouring down their blessed waters from time to time upon orchards and vineyards and stretches of grain, and now, the rolling away of the clouds having shifted the scene again to a clear sky, the rays of the sun falling over a permanent and well constructed reservoir full to the brim, so to speak—a dimpling lake from whence shall flow as needed never failing streams. BRAINARD SMITH. The Burruel Point Road. Reference was made last week to the fact that the road, popularly known as the Burruel Point road, was in an almost impassable condition. The recent rains have made it worse than ever, and it is imperative that it receive immediate attention from the authorities. The following petition circulated during the week by Mr. Rimpau is being signed by our people: We the undersigned would respectfully call the attention of your Honorable Board to the fact that certain parties have plowed up and destroyed a part of the county road leading from Anaheim to Silverado, and also have changed the same in different places, making it barely passable; and we would also respectfully petition you to accept and declare a Public County Road such part of the above road leading from Anaheim to Silverado which has not been heretofore declared as such, as asked for in a petition presented several years ago to the Board of Supervisors and based on a survey and map accompanying said petition, and made by County Surveyor Jackson. New Time Table. The change of time on the Southern Pacific Railroad will take effect about the 10th inst. The changes will be in through Express, the Colton train, and the Emigrant going north, as follows: The East Bound Express will arrive at about 1:50 P.M. and leave for Arizona about 2 P.M. The West Bound Express will arrive about 12:30 P.M. and leave for San Francisco about 1 P.M., meeting probably at Sepulveda Station. The Colton train will leave Los Angeles at 9 A.M. and return at 5:30 P.M., reversing the present order. The Emigrant going north will leave at 8:20 A.M., instead of 8:45 A.M., as at present. The new schedule will be very convenient for the receipt and distribution of the through mails out of the time of the local mails. By this it is intended that close connection will be made via Mojave with the Post-Office Letter List.

Mr. Bollinger will preach in the German church every Sunday morning at 10:30 P.M. Rev. Mr. Dearing will preach in the Methodist Episcopal church every Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock. Trees. Trees. Since the rain, orders innumerable have been received by Mr. T. Carroll, of the Anaheim Evergreen Nursery, for the thrifty trees for which the nursery is famous. But he has yet on hand a very large assortment of Monterey Cypress, Blue Gum, Northern Fruit trees and many kinds of Ornamental trees. All his trees were grown here, and are consequently free from disease and scale. The nursery is located 200 yards west of the Anaheim railroad depot, and all are invited to examine the stock.

The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water Company are in receipt of the following: OEANCE, Cal., Jan. 26, 1884. Gentlemen:—We have consulted our attorneys and stockholders and decided not to accept your proposition of October 18, 1883; that is, to give Yorbas one-half of the amount due them and divide the remainder equally. But if you are willing to divide the waters of the stream, one-half of the whole to the Santa Ana side and the remaining halt to go to the Yorbas, Cajon and Anaheim side, we will join in carrying the project into effect, and we surely cannot entertain any other proposition as experience since July, 1877, teaches us that no less quantity will meet our wants. Trusting this will meet with your approval we remain Respectfully Yours, Board of Directors S. A. V. I. Co. W. H. SPURGSON, President. By C. M. WOODEUFF, Secretary. The Finale. The Supreme Court has rendered its decision in the two cases of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company vs. the Anaheim Water Company, Nos. 8, 756 and 8, 894. The decision is not as lengthy as the previous one, but it is as decisive. Here it is in full: These appeals are by different parties from the same judgment and were submitted upon the same record. On the authority of Anaheim Water Co. vs. Semi-Tropical Water Co. (12 Pac. C. L. J., 158) the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial. The Santa Ana Nurseries Have a large and thrifty well-grown stock of Fruit and Ornamental Trees of all the leading varieties as cheap as the cheapest reliable nurseryman can sell. Our trees are all budded and grafted from bearing trees, and warranted true to label. We grow all varieties of trees but we are making a specialty of Pear—Early Moorpark—and the Early Bearing Soft Shell Walnut, as we believe they are the best trees to plant for profit 40,000 Monterey Cypress and Blue Gum. Office and nurseries Cor. 6th and Ross Sta., Santa Ana. Geo. W. Ford. Why Cultings Fail to Root. Prof. Hilgard undertakes to answer the often-asked question regarding the cause of the failure of grape cuttings to root. He says: "The most frequent cause of all is probably the planting of long cuttings by means of the crowbar instead of the spade. Except in the loosest soils, and with the greatest care, this mode of planting usually leaves the end of the cutting, if not bare, at least only in very loose contact with the earth; so that rooting, if accomplished at all, will have to take place from the upper joints, and a decaying stump remains below to infect the stock with fungus growths. It were far better to use shorter cuttings and plant a smaller area, if need be, thoroughly well with the spade, pressing the earth around the lower end of the cutting." Convincing. A San Francisco paper is pleased to say: "Ripe grapes, grown in the open air in Los Angeles and gathered on January 21st, certainly entitle that section to the name of the semi-tropica. Such a phenomenon is unusual, but that it occurred this year, when there has been some very cold weather in other quarters of the State, shows the equable temperature of the "City of the Angels," and will be a good thing for Eastern invulda to read about when they feel dubious about the claims made for our southern country as a sanitarium for the world."
