WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...MARCH 15, 1884 Kleinigkeiten. At Los Angeles last week, E. S. Clifford committed suicide by taking poison. A superior milch cow is offered for sale by Sydney Holman. The March schedule of the P. C. S. S. Co. is published on the fourth page. The railroad company furnish steamer tickets to all persons holding railway tickets to San Francisco. Hanna & Keith report the following sale: John Hanna to R. H. Gilman—18 acres on the Kraemer tract at $75 per acre. Insure against fire in the first-class companies for which Richard Melrose is agent. Policies written and delivered at once. In time of sunshine prepare for frost. The smoker pile should be ready and the tar pan fully charged, for lo the period of frost is upon us. H. M. Smith Esq. received his commission as Superior Judge of Los Angeles county, and now presides in the room formerly graced by Judge Sepulveda. During a quarrel at Wilmington last week between Jesus Leyva, Juan B. Sepulveda and Bravo, the latter shot Leyva twice with a revolver, killing him. Sepulveda and Bravo were arrested. Dillin & Co. have put on two four-horse teams to haul freight between Anaheim and Los Angeles until the train resumes its regular trips. Freight is hauled for $1 per hundred pounds. Two-thirds of the stock issued not being repurchased at the meeting of the people of Los Angeles was regarding her case, but as it was a rather ticklish subject to handle, the inquisition was not conducted. During a quarrel at Wilmington last week between Jesus Leyva, Juan B. Sepulveda and Bravo, the latter shot Leyva twice with a revolver, killing him. Sepulveda and Bravo were arrested. Dillin & Co. have put on two four-horse teams to haul freight between Anaheim and Los Angeles until the train resumes its regular trips. Freight is hauled for $1 per hundred pounds. Two-thirds of the stock issued not being represented at the meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company last Saturday, the President adjourned the meeting until next Saturday (March 22d) at 2 o'clock P.M. The announcement that Ed. Dunham has leased the Planters' Hotel at this place is not entirely correct. Negotiations to that end are now pending, but no agreement has as yet been arrived at. The stockholders of the Farmers Ditch Company of Orangethorpe will meet at the school house in that district this morning at 9 o'clock to discuss the question of consolidation with the Anaheim Union Water Company. Travelers should bear in mind that the best crossing of the old river bed north of town is opposite the place of Browning Bros. A remembrance of this information may be of value to those who mustford the river. A reduced telegraphic tariff went into effect on March 1st. The rate to most of the Eastern cities is $1, a reduction of 50 cents. The rate to San Francisco is 75 cents for ten words. The minimum rate remains at 25 cents. Cuddy, the Los Angeles Chief of Police, has been held in $500 bonds to answer in the Superior Court to a charge of felony in receiving a bribe. At his own request he was temporarily suspended from office, and Proelich is now acting as Chief. The fruit crop of the coming season promises to be amazingly large. Especially is this true of the orange crop, as the trees are one mass of blossoms. But the proverbial slip 'twixt the promise and the realization may occur to nip our expectations in the bud. A new cure for rattlesnake bites is recommended by an Angeleno physician. It consists of four drachms of indigo, eight drachms of gum camphor, eight ounces of alcohol, the whole mixture to be kept in close bottles. When applied to the wound the poison becomes neutralized and a cure is soon effected. A queer admission from a Los Angeles paper: "The Riverside and Santa Ana val..." The Republican County Central Committee have called a convention to be held on April 12th, to elect 18 delegates to the State Convention. Anaheim is entitled to 4 delegates, Westminster 3, Garden Grove 2, Santa Ana 5, Tustin 2, Orange 3, San Juan 2, Silverado 2, Yorba 2, Fountain Valley 2. The committee recommend, in accordance with the resolution of the National Committee, that all voters, without regard to past political differences, who are in favor of elevating and dignifying American labor, protecting and extending home industries, giving free popular education to the masses of the people, securing free suffrage and an honest counting of ballots, effectively protecting all human rights in every section of our common country, and who desire to promote friendly feeling and permanent harmony throughout the land by maintaining a National Government pledged to those objects and principles, and who will pledge themselves to support the ticket to be nominated at Chicago, at the Convention called to meet on June 3, 1884, are cordially invited to participate in the above meetings. Give us this Day Our Daily Mail. Ed. GAZETTE.—The present mail arrangements, or lack of arrangements, are shameful in the extreme. As you probably know something regarding postal law, will you please answer the following questions: Don't the railroad company have a contract with the government to carry the mails to certain specified points, among which is Anaheim? Is the said company not bound to use every endeavor to deliver the mails? Have they made any endeavor to deliver the mails? If they had made such endeavor, does not every one know that not a day would have passed without the receipt of mail matter? Is it any more difficult to transport mail pouches than passengers? And is it not a low lands water, and a numbed drifted to this vicinity of the water Mr. Shanklin has year; free of charging land. A small mail is brought as far Gray, transferred handcar and delivered brings it to Ana Lewis receive the citizens of Anaheim... A new cure for rattlesnake bites is recommended by an Angeleno physician. It consists of four drachms of indigo, eight drachms of gum camphor, eight ounces of alcohol, the whole mixture to be kept in close bottles. When applied to the wound the poison becomes neutralized and a cure is soon effected.—Express. A queer admission from a Los Angeles paper: "The Riverside and Santa Ana valley oranges are too expensive for the Ogden market, consequently Mr. Griffin will only purchase the Los Angeles orange." If the Ogden people want good oranges they must pay a good price. If they want the lily of the valley, they must pay the "valley" of the lily. In Santa Ana, Orange, and even in that great entrepot, Anaheim, the supply of the provisions in most common use is getting low. If the embargo on traffic continues, it may be necessary, as was the case occasionally in the mining towns of Nevada in early days, to limit the people to an allowance of flour and bacon. The letter of Mr. Smith, anent the prevalence of the destructive rabbit, is commended to public consideration. On next Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock a grand rabbit hunt will begin, to which everyone is invited. The rendezvous is near the residence of Browning Broa. Over a dozen local sportsmen will certainly be present, and with the assistance of a half hundred boys to drive the rabbits from cover, the result will be a very thorough decimation of the pest. At the Anaheim Evergreen Nursery of Mr. T. Carroll, near the railroad depot, is as fine a lot of Northern fruit trees as the most exacting could wish to choose from. As fast as he sells the stock, it is replenished by trees from the Los Angeles nurseries, with trees grown in this county, and consequently free from all disease and blight. His prices are as low as that of any first-class nurseryman in the county. Also, a fine stock of Monterey Cypress, blue gum and ornamental trees. Don't the railroad company have a contract with the government to carry the mails to certain specified points, among which is Anaheim? Is the said company not bound to use every endeavor to deliver the mails? Have they made any endeavor to deliver the mails? If they had made such endeavor, does not every one know that not a day would have passed without the receipt of mail matter? Is it any more difficult to transport mail pouches than passengers? And is it not a fact that passengers get through every day or two from Los Angeles? Is not private enterprise now doing what the railroad company ought to do, and what it probably claims it is impossible to do? If Gray and Lewis can, for a compensation, bring us our daily mail, could not the all-powerful railroad company have done likewise? It is rumored on the streets to-day that the new Superintendent of the railway mail service for this coast has arrived and issued an edict that the railway companies must deliver mail as per contract. He is of the right stuff, apparently; and if he keeps on as he has begun the people will rise up and call him blessed. Yours, Anaheim, March 14th. Thermometrical Record. The following is our record (taken one and one-half miles north of town) for the week ending Wednesday P.

More Rain—The Total Apprehending Two Feet—Incidents of the Storm. "The wet Sunday of 1884" would be a very proper designation for the 9th of March. It rained incessantly all that day, and as if exhausted by the effort, the water element has since been conspicuous by its absence. To be more precise in language, it has not rained since Sunday, but the effects of that rain have been most conspicuous. The natural river bed was unable to contain the water which was shed into it, and it overflowed its banks at a point east of town, and the old channel, in which water has not flowed to any extent since 1862, was transformed into a raging torrent. The plains to the east of town were a vast sheet of water, but barring washed-out roads, the water left the country all the better for its presence. On Monday morning the places of Scott, Dyer, Alward, Backs and others were partly submerged, but there being no current to the water no damage was done. A continuation of the rainfall would, however, most certainly have resulted in the destruction of some property, as in the opinion of those best informed the water would have coursed through the thickly settled part of the town. We will conceive it to be our duty to remind the citizens of this fact from time to time, until something is done to make such a flood visitation improbable. There is a point in the river northeast of town at which an embankment must be constructed if we wish to rest secure under a rainfall of 20 inches or less; and during the coming summer the embankment must be built. It is not proposed to confine all the water to the river during such a freshet as the one recently experienced, but to keep the water from breaking through at a point which would send it coursing through a part of town where it would do incalculable harm. It was well that the overcharged river found a vent in the old channel, for had all the water flowed in the river bed proper it would not only have carried away the railroad bridge but would have destroyed much valuable land in the Gospel Swamp country. It did considerable damage there, and gave the so-called Mormon settlement a baptism from which it will take some time to recover. The house of Bishop Mills was torn down and moved away just in time to escape. El Monte, and comes together again near the Mission hills. It has destroyed 350 acres of valuable land belonging to a number of Monte farmers. Further west, the same river has left its old channel, and now takes a southeasterly course along the mea, following it through the American Colony and emptying into the ocean by way of Willmore alough, a mile from the old channel. Many of the settlers on the Cerritos were obliged to seek safety on higher land on Saturday and Sunday. School Fund Apportionment. EDITOR GAZETTE:—The following is the third quarterly apportionment of the School fund. It is made upon the basis of the number of teachers assigned and the average daily attendance at school during the last school year. One teacher is assigned for each seventy census children and fraction thereof, equal to twenty. Each district receives $215 for each teacher so assigned, and $7.90 per capita upon its average daily attendance. The difference between the amount appropriated for salary and the total amount, is for library purposes; DISTRICT TEACHER'S SALARY TOTAL Anaheim $2,253.84 $2,253.84 Aimeda 901.40 901.40 Alamitos 286.00 286.00 Artosia 962.75 962.75 Azusa 1,903.40 1,903.40 Bellora 669.14 669.14 Bog Dale 339.42 339.42 Eosa Grande 602.06 602.06 Cabuenga 441.23 441.23 Contrailia 243.43 243.43 Coritos 356.42 356.42 Cuhega 356.42 356.42 Cuegua 340.84 340.84 Cool Water 251.26 251.26 Compton 1,447.41 1,447.41 Delhi 318.09 318.09 Diamond 373.56 373.56 Downey 1,654.51 1,654.51 Duarte 841.36 841.36 El Monte 1,013.70 1,013.70 Elizabeth Lake 274.01 274.01 Fair View 340.18 340.18 Florence 370.40 370.40 Mountain Valley 264.76 264.76 Garden Grove 705.52 705.52 Green Meadows 416.22 416.22 La Dow 719.70 719.70 Laguna 289.65 289.65 La Puente 581.45 581.45 Laurel 339.42 339.42 Little Lake 405.20 405.20 Los Angeles 27,200.93 27,200.93 Los Nietos 759.20 759.20 Lago 346.70 346.70 Mazeland 908.51 908.51 Mountain View 440.40 440.40 Newhall 253.39 253.39 New Hope 496.80 496.80 Newport 877.70 877.70 New River 460.46 460.46 Norwalk 402.00 402.00 Ocean 278.27 278.27 Exterminate 'Em. EDITOR GAZETTE:—If you will allow me a short space in your columns I would like to call the attention of the farmers in one section of country to a very important item which thus far has been seriously overlooked, to wit: a war of extermination against the Jack Rabbit, which in my humble opinion is one of the greatest nuisances we have to contend with. Unlike the squirrel that burrow in the ground leaving mark or sign by which they can be traced or the coyote that comes bowling when they search of prey, giving us warning and an opportunity for defense, the rabbit, as thief in the night, with noiseless step seeking our vineyards, orchards and gardens, and nips the young buds and tender sprouts. Is an easy matter at this season of the year to destroy them, while the mustard and grain is not sufficiently high to protect them and they can only find refuge in the small brush and cactus Now, I would suggest that some day be appointed and each school district turn out every available man and boy, and adopting some practicable rules by which to be governed many can be killed thereby thinning them out, so but little damage can be done by them for some years to come. I am sure our sporting friends of Anaheim and vicinity will readily join us and assist in ridding the country of so destructive pest. Leaving the matter to each and even interested and thoughtful citizen for consideration, I am very respectfully yours, W.J.SMITH. The Raisin-Growers' Petition. The producers of raisins in this State have forwarded the following letter to Congress: To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, greeting We, the undersigned, producers of raisins in this State. The industry is still in its infancy and most of the vineyards planted for raisins have not yet come into bearing; still there has already been a product of raisins in this State amounting to 110,000 to 120,000 boxes in this Year 1883. The business of producing raisins is one requiring much effort and attention to details, and of necessity restrict itself to comparatively small enterprises. For this reason it is being taken up as family industry, and thousands of growers have trusted to it as a means of remunerative labor for themselves and their families. The production of raisins in this State has already passed the local consumption, and these producers have been preparing to place their products upon the markets of the East It was well that the overcharged river found a vent in the old channel, for all the water flowed in the river bed proper it would not only have carried away the railroad bridge but would have destroyed much valuable land in the Gospel Swamp country. It did considerable damage there, and gave the so-called Mormon settlement a baptism from which it will take some time to recover. The house of Bishop Mills was torn down and moved away just in time to escape being washed away, and the house of Mr. Gardiner was ruined by the waters. Barr, Steiner and Farmer also lost their dwellings by the flood. The large volumes of water in the old river bed gave rise to the rumor on Monday that the river had returned to its old bed, and that there was more water in the old bed than in the new. This rumor had no foundation; the water which filled the channel to the north of town was merely the overplus from the river proper. There was fully three times the quantity of water in the river at the railroad bridge than flowed in the channel to the north at any time during the storm. For two days during the week the passage of the river was impossible, and Anaheim and North Anaheim were completely isolated one from the other. Several attempts to Ford it resulted in disaster. One young gentleman was washed from his wagon and nearly drowned. The contents of the wagon, which included a ham, were lost, so that it may be said that although he saved his bacon he lost his ham. Another whose wagon overturned, worked so strenuously to save his property that a very necessary part of his wardrobe became detached from his person and floated out of reach. His pilgrimage to town, sans cuisette, was to the party most concerned a chilly and embarrassing walk. Another consolidation of water interests has been effected without any legal formalities, or wrangle about by-laws. The Adger ditch and the river pooled their issues on Sunday, and the greater swallowed up the lesser. Which is the ditch and which the river is now past finding out. It is impossible to estimate the cost of repairing the more important irrigating ditches. They are very badly damaged, without a doubt. The low lands of the Swamp are under water, and a number of the settlers have drifted to this vicinity, to await the subsidence of the water. To a number of them Mr. Shanklin has offered the use for one year, free of charge, of 300 acres of his farming land. A small mail is being received every day. It is brought as far as New River by D. B. Gray, transferred across that stream on a handcar and delivered to Arthur Lewis who brings it to Anaheim. Messrs. Gray and Lewis receive their compensation from the citizens of Anaheim, who have subscribed breaking through at a point which would send it coursing through a part of town where it would do inecalculable harm.

Aldridge, Justice of the Peace for Westminster Township, was accepted. In the matter of the petition of T. W. Robertson et al. for a road in San Juan. Action deferred until Tuesday, April 8th, 1884, at 10 A.M. In the matter of the petition for the Temple road. Petition referred to Supervisors Levy and Reichard. In the matter of license tax. This matter having been under consideration, is hereby postponed until next meeting of the Board. In the matter of the petition of G. W. Remington for a renewal of the franchise for a toll road over the San Fernando mountains. Petition refused for reason that this Board has no authority to renew the franchise and that the proceedings must be had by statute. On motion, five cents for each voter registered outside of the city limits is hereby allowed. In the matter of petition for Santa Ana road, No. 100. Consideration postponed until April 9th. In the matter of Fifth street extension road, Santa Ana. On motion, said road declared a public highway and the Clerk instructed to draw warrants for the following sums in payment for right of way: J. P. Jones, $100; S. J. Denton, $90; Wm.

B. Gray, transferred across that stream on a handcar and delivered to Arthur Lewis who brings it to Anaheim. Messrs. Gray and Lewis receive their compensation from the citizens of Anaheim, who have subscribed liberally to the fund. Nothing has been done towards putting the track between Anaheim and Los Angeles in good order, partly because the weather has been unpropitious and partly because the railroad company are using all their available force of men and material in repairing the main lines. It will probably be weeks before rail communication is had with Los Angeles. On Thursday night the rain began again and when we went to press yesterday afternoon it was raining "for all it was worth" and the barometer was still falling. The gauge at the depot recorded a fall of 1.54 inches for last Sunday and a total for the season of 20.48 inches. At Mr. E. S. Saxton's the fall on Sunday was 1.10-16 inches, making the total for the season 20½ inches. Mr. Langenberger's gauge recorded 1.40 inches for Sunday and .26 up to yesterday at 2 p.m. Total for the season 20.66 inches. The Los Angeles river has kept the people of that city on the qui vive, and despite all their efforts it has inflicted great damage, though there has been no loss of life. Vineyards and orchards have been carried away, and land considered very valuable has been destroyed in great quantity. Below the city limits for several miles the east bank of the river has been washed away for a distance running in on an average one hundred feet. The land was valued before the flood at from $100 to $500 per acre. The San Gabriel river has divided above BORN. At North Anaheim, March 11, to the wife of Robert Parker, a daughter.
