WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...MARCH 1, 1864 Kleinigkeiten. The Board of Town Trustees meet on Wednesday. Prophet Potts prophesies more rain, beginning this (Saturday) evening. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent. Policies written and delivered at once. Louis Wolfskill, a well-known pioneer of this county, died at his residence at Pasadena on Wednesday, aged 36 years. Cole's circus will soon start from New York for California, and will perform at Anaheim, as a letter from the agent informs us. Mr. Goldkofler, one of the proprietors of the Santa Ana brewery, is about to dispose of his interest, and it is possible that he may take up his residence in Anaheim. A correspondent of the Rural Press says that the only genuine Malaga grapes grown in Southern California came originally from J. W. Clark's vineyard in Anaheim. In a drunken brawl at San Pedro on Tuesday, Thomas Crane stabbed and killed Dan Jones. Crane escaped. Both were sailors. J. E. Cordier, a plasterer, hanged himself in Los Angeles on Wednesday. He was suffering from a disease of the brain. He leaves a wife and child. Maurice Yarnell and Chas. D. Over- The Directors of the Anaheim Water Company at their meeting last Saturday requested the President to call a stockholders meeting to vote upon the question of disincorporating the company. In accordance with the request, the President has designated Saturday, March 8th, as the day for the meeting, as will be seen by advertisement in another column. The similarity in the names of the new and the old companies have already led to confusion, the impression having obtained that it is proposed to disincorporate the new company. The fact is that as the Anaheim Water Company, the North Anaheim Canal Company and the Cajon Irrigation Company have neither ditches, water nor water rights there is no need of their continued existence, and it is better that they dissolve and thus escape the responsibilities which attach to them as corporations. The Anaheim Union Water Company has acquired all the rights, property and responsibilities of the companies named. On last Tuesday the train managed "by the skin of its teeth" to make its first trip between Anaheim and Los Angeles since the flood. A more dilapidated track was never gone over by locomotive. The roadbed for miles was in a musky condition, and sank beneath the weight of the cars, making them pitch fore and aft like a boat in a choppy sea. The drying weather of the week, however, has perceptibly hardened the soil, and most of the way it is in fair condition and will so remain until it rains again. The train makes but one trip a day and runs on special time—leaving Anaheim sometime in the morning and returning sometime towards evening. The track between Anaheim and Santa Ana has not yet been repaired. Communication by rail with San Francisco will probably not be had for ten or twelve days. The Herald says: "The work of repairing the track of the Southern Pacific Railroad is going on as rapidly as possible. The track is clear from Los Angeles to the In a drunken brawl at San Pedro on Tuesday, Thomas Crane stabbed and killed Dan Jones. Crane escaped. Both were sailors. J. E. Cordier, a plasterer, hanged himself in Los Angeles on Wednesday. He was suffering from a disease of the brain. He leaves a wife and child. Maurice Yarnell and Chas. D. Overshiner have become associated with D. M. Baker in the publication of the Santa Ana Standard. Frank Wilson, a carpenter who has been employed at Phoenix and other parts of Arizona, was killed near La Puente on Sunday while coming to Los Angeles on the cars. He was intoxicated and fell from the platform of the car. Although the Centralia poultry yard has been taxed to supply the demand for the very superior varieties kept there, Mr. Petter has been able to respond to all demands. The reputation of these yards is increasing year by year. The effect of the rain is noticeable in the wells throughout the county. The flowing wells in the artesian belt have increased in volume. In Centralia before the rains water was 7½ feet from the surface, and now it has risen to within 3½ feet. Vines are quite previous in their prematureness this year. They are already sprouting in some vineyards and at the critical period they will be tempting bait for frost. Let us hope that no climatic arctic pranks will occur during the first half of April. Monday is the first Monday in March, and is the Monday when the Assessor stalks forth clothed with tax receipts and impudence. It is one of the unpleasant features of existence in this mundane sphere that you no sooner pay one tax than you are called upon to pay another. The P. C. S. S. Co. propose to make hay while the mud is wet. Two additional steamers have been placed on the southern route, thus affording increased accommodation to travelers. The company is doing a land office business. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has apportioned $1,504,210 of school monies among the different counties. Los Angeles county receives $83,889, for its 12,428 children. San Francisco and Alameda are the only counties receiving more money than this, the former having 58,061 children and the latter 17,376 children. Communication by rail with San Francisco will probably not be had for ten or twelve days. The Herald says: "The work of repairing the track of the Southern Pacific Railroad is going on as rapidly as possible. The track is clear from Los Angeles to the Soledad Canyon, and from Mojave to a point below Ravena. Superintendent Hewitt says that more than a thousand men are at work in the canyon; one gang working up from Newhall, another working down from Ravena, while a third party is in the middle, leaving about eighteen miles of track yet to be repaired. The destruction of the roadbed is of an aggravated character in that place, and will require a vast amount of labor to complete the repairs." At Riverside there is "water, water everywhere, and not a drop to drink." The Press says: "There has been no water in the Riverside canals for several weeks, except such as has collected during the late rains. There were many breaks during the storm of last Sunday, which are being rapidly repaired. It will be some time yet before water is sent down for the use of the people for domestic purposes. In the meantime many cisterns are becoming empty, and much inconvenience is experienced." The account given in the Los Angeles Herald of a robbery at the Petrolia oil wells gave the details of an actual occurrence, but the place and name of one of the parties interested were incorrectly given. The scene of the robbery was the Puente oil wells, and the victims were Sloan and Kelly. Hubbard forced them to give up their valuables, and his plan was also to rob Mr. Chandler, but that gentleman failed to arrive at the wells before Hubbard thought it prudent to leave. The first oil sold from the Chandler well was delivered to A. Langenberger on Thursday evening. He will use it in his vineyard and several others have engaged oil for the same purpose. Mr. B. Chandler is pumping three wells at La Puente and the deepest is 300 feet. They produce $600 worth of oil per month. They have about 150 barrels of oil on hand, owing to the roads being impassible. They are selling oil at from $5 to $12.50 per barrel. There are less squirrels, gophers and kangaroo rats in the country now than before the flood, but there are enough yet, and to spare. And, by the way, the popular notion that the California squirrel "can't climb a tree" is erroneous. When forced to leave their underground quarters during the rains will so remain until it rains again. The train makes but one trip a day and runs on special time—leaving Anaheim sometime in the morning and retiring sometime towards evening.

Anaheim,Feb.. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has apportioned $1,504,210 of school money among the different counties. Los Angeles county receives $83,889, for its 12,423 children. San Francisco and Alameda are the only counties receiving more money than this, the former having 58,061 children and the latter 17,376 children. A special election will be held in Los Angeles on Monday for a City Assessor, the former incumbent having resigned. John Fischer is the only candidate announced, and it is probable that he will get the office unanimously. His recent misfortune, in losing his all by the flood, entitles him to consideration. "The Bedette," to the advertisement of which attention is directed, is certain to become popular in this State, more especially for camping purposes. It is a compact, strong light and sightly piece of furniture, and its cheapness is not its least recommendation. It is something new in this State, Mr. D. B. Sumner having received the first carload from Grand Rapids, Michigan, a few weeks ago. Mr. A. B. Willson, of Trabuco Canyon, gives us the following record of rainfall in that locality: October 3 to January 15... 5½ inches. January 28 to February 7... 12½" February 11 to February 18... 10" Total... 28½" Apiarists are much encouraged over the outlook and the bees are doing splendidly.

There are less squirrels, gophers and kangaroo rats in the country now than before the flood, but there are enough yet, and to spare. And, by the way, the popular notion that the California squirrel "can't climb a tree" is erroneous. When forced to leave their underground quarters during the rains they climbed on trees and fences and roosted securely until the subsiding waters allowed them to come down. This is the season when the numerous and active linnet gets in his work on the forming fruit buds, to the serious loss of the fruitgrower. The most effective way of combatting the evil is said to be by impaling small pieces of strychnined apple on the twigs of the trees. It is death to the linnets and there is little danger from the use of the poison in that way. Mr. B. Harrison, attorney-at-law, has concluded to cast his lot with us. He and his family come well recommended. He has made arrangements for an office and has gone to Los Angeles city to settle up his business and then return with his family. We wish him success. The next regular meeting of the C. L. S. C. will be held at the house of Mr. F. S. Wallace on Thursday evening next. It is hoped that all regular and social members will attend. Ex-Mayor Toberman is making arrangements to set out 150 acres of vineyard, 3½ miles east of Anaheim. 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.

Co. has had the pleasure of an interview with many members of the company during the past week, and in every instance he has succeeded in explaining to their satisfaction the why and wherefore of the proceedings which have been had. The greatest, in fact the only serious opposition was to that clause in the by-laws wherein stockholders are required to waive any rights which might accrue to them under Section 552 of the Civil Code, and this opposition has arisen from a misapprehension of what that Section contained. We therefore print it in full here: Whenever any corporation, organized under the laws of this State, furnishes water to irrigate lands which said corporation has sold, the right to the flow and use of said water is and shall remain a perpetual easement to the land so sold, at such rates and terms as may be established by said corporation in pursuance of law. And whenever any person who is cultivating land on the line and within the flow of any ditch owned by such corporation, has been furnished water by it, with which to irrigate his land, such person shall be entitled to the continued use of said water, upon the same terms as those who have purchased their land of the corporation. Inasmuch as the A. U. W. Co. has not sold any land, we do not think that by any construction of the language can the section be so construed as to refer to the company. But it was referred to as a matter of excessive precaution and for this reason: The company proposes in the future, as its predecessors have in the past, to sell water for use on lands not covered by water stock, whenever there is a surplus over and above the requirements of the stockholders. To prevent any possibility of the persons thus favored from setting up any claim for water when it is required for the use of stockholders, they must waive any right which might accrue to them by virtue of Section 552 or kindred laws. The proposition is so plain and just that we have not found a single individual to oppose it. Assume that John Doe has 20 acres of land and that the north 10 acres is covered by stock. In winter, or when water is abundant, the company permits him to irrigate the south ten acres with Anaheim Oil Wells. San Francisco Chronicle. A project is on foot to develop and work the oil territory situated east of Los Angeles, in the Puente and Santa Ana hills, north of Anaheim and about six miles from the line of the Southern Pacific Railroad. The plan is to form a stock company, to which the present plant, with about 1000 acres of oil-bearing country will be sold, payment to be taken in shares of the new company. Additional stock is then to be sold, and with the proceeds more wells are to be sunk and the property placed on a paying basis. The wells which have been sunk so far have all struck oil, for the lands and rocks of the whole district are saturated with the fluid. The proposition is said to be valuable, and the enterprise is to be engineered by the same persons who have made a success of a similar business. A favorable circumstance for the California industry is the fact that on account of the climate work can be prosecuted all the year round. [The facts of the case are that a corporation, known as the Chandler Oil Company, the stockholders of which are the Chaffey Bros. of Ontario, Mr. Chandler and others, have purchased the interest of all the other owners in the wells; and as the incorporation has plenty of that most necessary factor in the development of all mines—money—there is reason to hope that the vigorous application of that potent lever will result in finding a profitable flow of oil. Preparations are now being made to sink a new well, and the drilling in the old well will go on continuously. They have now on hand 140 barrels of oil worth $12 per barrel.] Ed. Gazette. Judge Sepulveda's Resignation. To the people of Los Angeles county: Pressing business engagements prevent me from returning home in time to resume the duties of my office. I have forwarded my resignation to the Governor of the State. The uniform kindness which for so many years you have accorded me evokes my profound gratitude. Memory shall keep in its choicest place the remembrance of your fireworks and insurance. All the insurance companies doing business on the Pacific Coast have united in issuing a circular declining to write any insurance on buildings in which fireworks are kept, and they also propose to cancel all insurance on buildings now so used, unless the fireworks are removed therefrom. They also suggest that all incorporated towns and cities pass an ordinance somewhat like the following: The Trustees of the Town of——do ordain as follows: SECTION 1. It shall be unlawful for any person to ignite, fire or explode any firecracker, bomb, explosive or fire-work whatever within the corporate limits of the town of—— SEC. 2. Any person who shall have ignited, fired or exploded any firecracker, bomb, explosive or fire-work whatever, in violation of the provisions of Section 1, hereof, shall be deemed to be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding $——or imprisonment not exceeding——days. The Conjugal Genesis. The new made Adam in his garden lay, Drying in sunshine his still moist clay. Lured by the perfume-laden air that sweep Through Eden's balmy groves, he fell asleep. Nick! through a crack where he was wont o'lurk. Now saw a chance for getting in his work. Under the fence, in serpent guise, he crept And chloroformed poor Adam as he slept; Then destly carved a rib from out his side, Muttering grinly, "I will make his bride." Over the bone the devil softly blew, And quickly into life and form it grew Until the perfect-finished Eve arose; And that first sleep was Adam's last repose.

We grow all USE ON ISLANDS NOT COVERED BY WATER STOCK, whenever there is a surplus over and above the requirements of the stockholders. To prevent any possibility of the persons thus favored from setting up any claim for water when it is required for the use of stockholders, they must waive any right which might accrue to them by virtue of Section 552 or kindred laws. The proposition is so plain and just that we have not found a single individual to oppose it. Assume that John Doe has 20 acres of land and that the north 10 acres is covered by stock. In winter, or when water is abundant, the company permits him to irrigate the south ten acres with the water which properly belongs to the north half. It is not likely that he would take advantage of the company's courtesy, or desire to assist him, and set up the claim that, having permitted him to run water on his unstocked land once, they cannot interfere with him if he chooses to run it on that land at any time to the detriment and at the expense of stockholders. We say it is not likely that any man would do so ungracious a thing, but it is proper to guard against such a possibility, hence the clause in the by-laws referring to this matter. We again invoke stockholders to go to the Secretary and get their certificates, so that the Directors can call the general meeting which some of the members desire. Are the Westminster Wells Capped? Ed. Gazette: On the same principle that "in time of peace prepare for war," I want to speak of the lack of water at a time when there is plenty of it. There can be little doubt that the steady and continuous receding of the surface water in this southern part of the county is due in a great measure to the constantly flowing artesian wells in the Westminster and Gospel Swamp district, and it argues volumes for the patience and good nature of the people injuriously affected by such drainage that they have submitted, without other protest than an occasional growl, to the wanton waste of water resulting from the unrestrained flow of the water from the wells in the district mentioned. There is a State law which provides for the capping of such wells, and I see that an attempt is to be made in Santa Clara county to enforce it. Eighteen complaints have been filed in the Superior Court of that county against as many different individuals for non-compliance with the law. I am certain that no one desires to inaugurate such harsh measures here to protect themselves, and therefore I appeal to the Westminster people to comply with a requirement of law, the justice of which they cannot but admit.

City of Mexico, Feb. 9, 1884. It is understood that Judge Sepulveda has been appointed attorney for the Mexican Railway Company, a much more lucrative position than the one he resigned. The members of the bar of Los Angeles met on Tuesday and recommended to the Governor the appointment of Henry M. Smith Esq. as Superior Judge, and it is understood that Governor Stoneman will confer the appointment upon him. Mr. Smith is an old-time resident of the county, and one of the most profound lawyers among the many shining lights of the bar. At the meeting referred to a committee was appointed to draft appropriate resolution regarding the death of Theo. Lynn Esq. How the Mail Reach Here. San Francisco, Feb. 25. Temporary arrangements have been made by the postoffice authorities in this city for the proper dispatch of the mails for the counties of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara. The recent washouts having blocked the ordinary channels, an eight days mail was dispatched to day, on the steamer Ancon. For the next two days all mails for the points named will be sent via Denver, Albuquerque and Deming. It will then be allowed to accumulate until the departure of the steamer Queen of the Pacific for the Southern coast ports, on Saturday next. This plan will be maintained until regular connections are restored. LOS ANGELES MARKETS. Corrected weekly for the Gazette by the GERMAIN FRUIT COMPANY, 28 Main street, Los Angeles. P.O Box 1151.

Mrs. Skelton, a German lady of excellent character and education, whose father was professor in Heidelberg, will address our citizens on Tuesday evening next, March 4th, on the subject of temperance. She will speak in both German and English. She has a high reputation as a speaker, and we can assure all that her lecture will be worthy of a large audience, notwithstanding many may not agree to all included in the temperance platform. Those who are engaged in this work certainly have the good of all classes of citizens at heart, and the least we can do is to listen to what they have to say. In view of the public hall being not in use, the Presbyterian church audience room has been kindly offered for this occasion.
