WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...FEB. 9, 1884 Kleinigkeiten. —“Speed the plow” even at this late day. The rainfall for the season in Los Angeles is a fraction over 13 inches. The February schedule of the P. C. S. S. Co. is printed on the fourth page. Did Shakespeare allude to the rain when he wrote—“And damned be he who first cries hold, enough?” The next regular meeting of the C. L. S. C. will be held at the house of Mr. F. S. Wallace on Thursday evening, Feb. 14th. The patrons of the Washington Meat Market will find a notice of interest to them in another column. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent Policies written and delivered at once. A young “rural,” hearing remarks respecting amount of rainfall, said, “Why, out to our place we had more n two feet a week ago; I dug down and measured it myself.” The Riverside Press suggests the holding of a convention in Los Angeles during March and April to discuss the irrigation laws of the State and suggest amendments thereto. Apiarists in the northern part of the county have been sufferers to a great extent by the rain, the floods carrying away lives and other paraphernalia of the apiary. A Week of Rain. Water, water, everywhere. In the heavens above and in the earth beneath; in canyon, gorge, river and plain. It has been a week of rain; and though years of comparative drought had made the earth ravenous for moisture, the rain came so thickly and continuously that even the spongy soil could not absorb it quickly enough, and lakes in miniature dotted the plains round about. Not in many years has there been such a glorious rain. It is akin to those storms of which we have all been speaking regretfully and which seemed to be merely a tradition and characteristic of a past era. And yet it is scarcely fair to call it a “storm.” The word savors too much of imperilled lives and ruined property, whereas (if we except the injury to the railroads) the damage done has been quite trifling. Roads have been badly washed and made difficult of travel; bridges have been swept away; irrigating ditches filled with debris and other damage equally as inconsequential. But no one thinks of complaining about these things; too long have they been waiting for this saturation to lift up their voices in plain at the accompanying discomforts. Our record of rainfall closed on last Friday. Since then the fall has been as follows by Mr. Langenberger’s gauge: February 1.....42 **2**.....1.71 **3**.....38 **4**.....56 **5**.....34 **6**.....1.91 **7**.....34 Total .....4.72 The total for the season, to Feb. 7th, is 9.87 inches. The record for the week at the railroad depot is as follows: the measurements being made every morning at 7 o’clock: February 1.....46 **2**.....2.10 **3**.....21 **4**.....46 **5**.....58 **6**.....1.65 **7**.....1.32 Report On last Monday Directors of the California Measra.

Apartists in the northern part of the county have been sufferers to a great extent by the rain, the floods carrying away hives and other paraphernalia of the apiary. Mr. Jacob Yaeger has bought the Westphal property on Center street, adjoining his wagon shop, thus giving him more room in which to conduct his large and increasing business. While riding into town on Monday Master Walter A. Hunter was thrown from his horse and quite severely bruised on the head and chest. He was laid up for several days under medical treatment. Logic: Clouds make rain; rain makes mud; mud makes bad roads; bad roads make heavy pulling; heavy pulling makes high-priced teaming; high-priced teaming makes high-priced wood. Oak firewood has gone up to $14 a cord. The S. A. V. I. Co. are deliberating upon the advisability of issuing winter stock that is shares of stock in the corporation entitling the holder to buy water during the winter months or whenever there is a surplus. A week of warm sunshine, and what a glorious country this will be! Not for seven years has there been such an abundance of feed on the hills and plains at this time of year, and it has all grown without the stimulus of sunshine. Despite the dampness, the weather has in the main been quite warm, the lowest reading of the thermometer during the week being 47 degrees. This is fortunate for sheep-raisers, as, the lambing season being now at its height, cold rain would entail severe loss of lambs. A gentleman who came by rail from the northern part of the State a few days ago says that north of San Fernando tunnel the crops look brown and drear, in marked contrast to the fresh and thrifty appearance of the fields in this county. The rains had not at that time had any revivifying effect. A brick store, one story, 35x75 feet, is soon to be built on the north-east corner of Center and Los Angeles streets by Mrs. Koll. The building will be occupied by M. Dobner, and the frame building now used by him will be removed to the adjoining lot on Los Angeles street. Total for the season, to Feb. 7th, is 9.87 inches. The record for the week at the railroad depot is as follows: the measurements being made every morning at 7 o'clock: February 1. 46 2. 210 3. 21 4. 46 5. 58 6. 1.65 7. 1.32 Total: 6.58 Making the total for the season 11.86 inches. The difference between the rainfall in town and at the depot is difficult to account for. The rainfall at Mr. Saxton's, one and one mile north of town, from Feb. 1st to Feb. 7th at 12 o'clock, m., was 5g inches; total for the season, 10g inches. Much as we dislike to publish in these columns any purely personal reference, we fear that not to make public acknowledgment of the congratulations showered upon us personally and by letter, anent our recent appointment to an official position, would be considered churlish and ungraveful. We therefore for the nonce waive a rule herefore rigely allowed to, and make use of the Gazette to speak a word to our friends; to say to them that we cannot frame words which can fully express the pleasure we feel at knowing that so many people, at home and abroad, are interested in our welfare and pleased at our good fortune. Our friends of the press, too, have given the appointment kindly mention, and we fully appreciate their courtesy. The editor of the Los Angeles Herald, in Wednesday's issue of that paper, was pleased to say: The appointment of Bessler Melrose, of the Anaheim Gazette, to be Postmaster at that place, gives very general satisfaction both these and here. Few people have done more solid work in building up Los Angeles than this able and painstaking newspaper man. Paragraphs in the same genial strain have appeared in other papers. One of the causes of uneasiness removed by the rainfall is the well founded fear that was entertained that another dry winter would be followed by a plague of grasshoppers. Last summer in some parts of the valley they were very numerous, and the damage they did to the vineyards and cornfields in the afflicted area was quite considerable. Had the eggs of these hoppers matured it is probable that they would have done widespread damage the coming summer; as it is, these eggs have probably had the life drowned out of them. Mr. Trunnell of Westminster has a grievance. He thinks the people of Anaheim are extremely selfish. The rattle of the anvil on the afternoon of the consolidation ratification and the glare of the torches in the evening were plausibly heard and seen at A brick store, one story, 35x75 feet, is soon to be built on the north-east corner of Center and Los Angeles streets by Mrs. Koll. The building will be occupied by M. Dobner, and the frame building now used by him will be removed to the adjoining lot on Los Angeles street. An Orange correspondent of the River-side Press begins his letter this way: The Anaheim Gazette once remarked, "The more wind, the more rain. If so we certainly ought to get plenty of rain this season." Well, what do you think of the Gazette's theory now? John O'Donnell, the keeper of a saloon opposite the new depot in Los Angeles, shot Ed. Mulligan on Monday evening. The latter was intoxicated and insisted upon entering the saloon despite O'Donnell's protest. He applied an offensive epithet to the latter and made a motion as if to draw a weapon, when O'Donnell shot him. Mulligan was assistant yardmaster at the depot. His wound is not dangerous. The following real estate transaction are reported: Henry Abels to A W Potts—W ½ of NW ¼ Sec 10, T 4 a, R 11 w, $8000. C'H Simms to J T Stewart—E 20 acres of W ½ of NE ¼ Sec 3, T 4 S, R 10 W; $900.

D Jonathan Kraemer, Samuel Kraemer, Edward Kraemer and Benjamin Kraemer to Farmers' Ditch Co—Right of way and use of Kraemer ditch; $1. Will the party who borrowed N. H. Mitchell's plow please return the same immediately? Report of Progress. On last Monday afternoon the Board of Directors of the Cajon Irrigation Company—Messrs. Tuffree, Hunter, McFadden, Browning and Gilman—met and, after complying with the required legal formula, made a conveyance of all its property to the North Anaheim Canal Company, and thereupon adjourned. Immediately thereafter the Directors of the North Anaheim Canal Company—Messrs. Gilman, Fromhein, Browning, McDermont and McFadden—met, accepted the deed from the Cajon Company, adopted the required resolution and made and executed a deed conveying to the Anaheim Union Water Company all its property. Previous to this, however, Mr. J. W. Shanklin, by request, made a verbal statement of his agreement with the company. It was in effect that in consideration of his surrendering to the company his right to purchase water at stockholder's rates for any part of his land, and for the further consideration of giving to the company the right of way through his land for ditches, and the use of the reservoir on his land adjoining the reservoir on the Kraemer tract, he was to receive the sum of $13,000 and be allowed to use water from the ditch for domestic use and for watering stock. It was ordered that a conveyance embolving the above be made by Mr. Shanklin to the new company. Immediately thereafter Messrs. Korn, Zeyn, Schorn and Scott, Directors of the Anaheim Water Company, convened and a resolution and deed similar in purport to that adopted by the other companies was read. Mr. Scott objected to the deed as not being sufficiently explicit, and Mr. Korn refused to append his signature thereto as President of the Company until he had consulted his legal adviser. The Board therefore adjourned until to-day at 2 o'clock. The certificate of incorporation of the Anaheim Union Water Company has been received and all the incorporators were present on Monday ready to organize, but the unexpected obstacle above recorded rendered it useless for them to take any action.

Interrupted Mail Service. It is within the memory of hundreds of residents of this vicinity when a mail from San Francisco every six days, and a mail from Los Angeles twice a week was entirely satisfactory to them. When the service was increased to three times a week, they considered themselves quite in and of the world. But having for a number of years become accustomed to a daily mail, the interruption of the service during the week is almost unendurable, and causes them to wonder how they got along so well in the ante-railroad days. Pampered by the efficient mail service, the people have come to regard the regular receipt of letters, and papers as necessary to their existence. If the German Emperor caught cold yesterday we want to know the number and violence of his royal suzees to day; if the Czar was dynamited last night, we want to read the full particiars about it this morning; we want, in short, to know to-day every fact of the slightest consequence which occurred throughout the civilized world yesterday. And we never fully appreciate the comfort of a daily mail service until we are deprived of our correspondence as we have been during the week. There was no mail received on Monday, nor on Wednesday nor Thursday. A mile or more of track between Costa Station and Norwalk was submerged and torn away by water, hence neither passengers nor mail could be transported. The water pouring out of the Brea and Soquel Conyons covered the entire country at the place indicated, and softened the roadbed to such a degree that it was deemed unsafe to use it. The track had not been repaired yesterday but mails from the North were received at 11 o'clock, having been transferred over the submerged part of the road on a hand-car. Presentation. Confidence Fire Company was presented on Tuesday night with an elegant foreman's badge by Fire Commissioner Ey. Accompanying the gift was the following letter: To the officers and members of Confidence Fire Co. No. 1: GENTLEMEN—As one of Petition for a bridge over Santiago Creek, between Santa Ana and Orange.

The report of the Marshal in regard to collection of taxes was received and approved. The Committee on Public Improvements were requested to ascertain the cost of changing the furnace of the town pump so as to make it suitable for burning oil as fuel. They were further instructed to procure an injection pump, and to do all things necessary to increase the efficiency of the water works and lessen the running expenses. Also, to have the town lot at the jail fenced, and to plant trees on the jail lot and on the lot where the fire bell is situated. The Clerk was instructed to forward a copy of Charter and Ordinances also the Health Report to the Health Officer at Sacramento. Mr. Paty was authorized to grade the south end of West street at a cost not to exceed $12.

Since 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. Full information can be obtained by writing to Timothy Carroll, Anaheim. 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 Gums. Presentation. Confidence Fire Company was presented on Tuesday night with an elegant foreman's badge by Fire Commissioner Ey. Accompanying the gift was the following letter: To the officers and members of Confidence Fire Co. No. 1: Gentlemen—As one of the Fire Commissioners of the Town of Anaheim, and your chief officer, I have special opportunities for knowing the labor and time required of you in attending properly to your duties as firemen. I know it is a thankless task in the main, and were it in my power I would gladly express my appreciation of your labors in a more deserving manner than I now do. But merely as an expression of my good will towards the company, and every individual member of it, I beg you to accept the accompanying badge, to be worn by the present foreman and his successors. And allow me to express the hope that the zeal you have hitherto shown will be continued, and that the citizens of Anaheim will continue to repose confidence in "Confidence." Truly Yours, Frank Ey, Chief of Anaheim Fire Department. The intended excursion of the Los Angeles Turn Verein to Anaheim on last Saturday was interfered with, as the train, owing to a break in the track, could not make the trip on that day. The ball at the Anaheim Hotel, however, was largely attended, and a merry time was had. Messrs. Hudson & Co. report having made the following sales during the week: Lot No. 6 on the Kraemer tract, 18 acres, to Jacob Yaeger, $1100; lot No. 4, 20 acres, to V. Deresses, $1000. 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 candies at low prices. I will rent part of my store after New Year. Come one, come all. Your name, Frank Ey. A Wide Awake Druggist. Mr. W. M.

Mr. Paty was authorized to grade the south end of West street at a cost not to exceed $12. The Board unanimously resolved that a complaint be entered against Mrs. Brown for keeping a disorderly house. County Surveyor Jackson has addressed an open letter to the Supervisors protesting against building the Court House on the site recently purchased. He advises the Board to sell the lot and buy a more eligible one. His objections are, 1st—the expense of grading and fitting the ground to receive the building; 2nd—the proposed jail in the basement would be damp and unfit for human beings; 3rd—the lot is too small; 4th—being thickly surrounded by buildings, there is great danger from fire; 5th—the situation is not a commanding one; 6th—the building cannot possibly be made an ornament to the city on the proposed site.
