WEEKLY GAZETTE
SATURDAY JULY 24, 1866
Kleinigkeiten.
Extra copies of the Gazette are kept on sale at the stores of J. Helmsen and Max Nebelung.
Read the advertisement of Dobner's closing out sale.
The stockholders of the A. U. W. Co. met on Saturday and accomplished nothing.
The Town Trnstees meet as a Board of Equalization on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of next week.
Four locations of oil claims in the North Anaheim oil region were made on last Monday. And it was a kind of an off day for locating oil claims.
The largest apricots reported this year have been placed on our table by Mr. F. A. Gates of Garden Grove. Twenty-four of them weighed five pounds. And they were very good apricots, too.
Miss Lydia T. Parker and Mr. S. O. Wood were married by Bishop Dunlop at Las Vegas on the 7th inst. They are expected here in a few days on a visit to the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Parker.
The well-borers on Mr. Kenyon Cox's place finished one well last week, getting a three-quarter inch flow at 240 feet. They expected to finish the second well on Thursday and will immediately begin on the third.
The superintendent of the Los Angeles Cannery reports that they have finished on apricota, having only succeeded in getting 100 tons. They expected to can 150 tons, but the ravages of a small bug resembling the fire fly reduced the crop. Forty dollars a ton was the price paid at the cannery. The blackberry crop is large, but raspberries are only about half a crop. The Bartlett pear crop is a failure, and none are to be had in this county. Peaches will be about half a full crop, and the apple crop will be insufficient to supply the home demand. In conclusion Mr. Welsh says:
All orchards the county over are making good growths and healthy wood, and no doubt for the next three to five years we will have good crops, and good fruit will always from now on command good prices. We could to-day sell goods ahead to pack if we could be guaranteed a supply for three years ahead. Such goods as lemon and orange clings, Bartlett pears, Golden Drop plums, etc., have the world for a market. As to vegetables, we will pack only string beans and tomatoes this season, using about 50 tons of string beans and about 300 to 500 tons of tomatoes. Nothing will pay the farmer better than a few acres of tomatoes. Corn for canning is not a success here on account of slow growth and the green worm. Peas will pay anywhere any one can get pickers. We could use any amount of them if we could get them. So you will see that there is plenty of sale for all good fruit and vegetables that can be grown here. All we ask of the public is good goods, and we will pay for same big prices, but we cannot hold up the hard-earned reputation we have got in the States and elsewhere with poor fruit and vegetables. Putting poor fruit inside of a tin can and sealing it never will make it any better.
Mr. Herman Pesenfeld hired a livery rig on Wednesday from Mr. Lewis, and proceeded to Orange, taking Fred Hilmer along to bring back the buggy. While the latter was on the way home, he perceived the rows of trees by the roadside (as one usually does) and tried to knock some of them down by running against the trees with the wheels of the vehicle, which was certainly more injured than the trees. He unhitched the horse and rode home, leaving the broken rig for

The well-borers on Mr. Kenyon Cox's place finished one well last week, getting a three quarter inch flow at 240 feet. They expected to finish the second well on Thursday and will immediately begin on the third.
Mr. Taylor, who purchased the Cowan place, has been painting and renovating the residence throughout, and has constructed a fountain in front of the building. These and other improvements will make this a beautiful home.
On the road between Anaheim and Westminster one can see numerous cotton-tails and jack-rabbits, due to the fact that they are hunted but little in that section. It would be no trouble to kill them, as one can pass them by the roadside and the rodents will not move.
The trustees of Orangethorpe district have elected Mr. S. S. Wood as teacher of the school. Mr. Wood is building a house on his 20 acres in Orangethorpe.
Mr. P. S. Wallace has been re-elected as teacher of the Fairview school. The session begins on the first Monday in September.
Meets Beach and Firth, appraisers of the Martin interest in the Stearns ranches, have been viewing the ranchos under the pirotage of Mr. R. J. Northam. It is said that there is yet considerable legal formalities to be gone through with before the lands can be placed on the market.
It is understood that the visit of Mr. Moses Hopkins to Anaheim was to investigate the advisability of removing the os trichas from the farm at present in use to a tract of the company's land in North Anaheim. The main reason for the contemplated change is that it is surmised that the soil of the present farm, being strongly impregnated with alkali, has something to do with the non-fertility of the eggs, and the mortality among the chicks. It is very probable that the change will be made.
The Anaheim vintners have as strong faith as ever in the prospect of an average crop, judging from the amount of cooperage that is being made by our coopers. Both are employing three men each or more, and have twice as much work as they contemplated. It may be, too, that the wine-makers propose to put their wine in casks and store it in cellars, as the production is that wine will be worth twice as much next year as this, on account of a comparatively small price.
Mr. Herman Fesenfeld hired a livery rig on Wednesday from Mr. Lewis, and proceeded to Orange, taking Fred Hilmer along to bring back the buggy. While the latter was on the way home, he perceived the rows of trees by the roadside (as one usually does) and tried to knock some of them down by running against the trees with the wheels of the vehicle, which was certainly more injured than the trees. He unhitched the horse and rode home, leaving the broken rig for some other fellow to get. As soon as he arrived, Lewis ran him and the stable boy out of town to hunt the wreck and return it. As it was quite dark when they started, it is probable that they hunted all night till Thursday morning dawned.
Take it all in all, there are few, if any better summer resorts in Southern California than Anaheim Landing. It has a magnificent stretch of beach, and at low tide a drive along the smooth, hard sand of the seashore can be taken for several miles. The bathing facilities are superior to those of Long Beach or Santa Monica. In addition to the surf, there is still-water bathing of varying depth, where the novice and expert, the daring and timid, can alike find enjoyment. Boating in the creek, too, is a safe and pleasurable pastime, and there is excellent fishing. Surely this combination should attract those who are looking for a summer camping place.
Anaheim Lodge, A. O. U., W., had a visit last evening from Grand Overseer A. C. Bain. A large number of the Santa Ana lodge were also present on a fraternal visit, and were entertained with a fine collation at the Anaheim Hotel. Anaheim Lodge is in a prosperous condition. Six applications for membership were acted upon at the meeting last night.
Professor Edward Finck, of Portland, Oregon, a brother of Mrs. Max Nebelung of our town, has been awarded the prize for the best method of piano instruction in competition with noted musicians from all over the Union. The award was made by a music publisher of Philadelphia, who will issue Mr. Finck's method in book form about the list of September.
It is a very low order of intelligence which finds amusement in smearing paint on houses, as was done on Tuesday night on the drug store of Mr. Krug. If the individuals who were guilty of the outrage will listen to the opinions expressed concerning it by decent people, they will learn with what contempt such actions are regarded.
There were two fires on different nights this week. One was in Orangethorpe dis-
The Anaheim vintners have as strong faith as ever in the prospect of an average crop judging from the amount of cooperage that is being made by our coopers. Both are employing three men each or more, and have twice as much work as they contemplated. It may be, too, that the wine-makers propose to put their wine in casks and store it in cellars, as the prediction is that wine will be worth twice as much next year as this, on account of a comparatively small crop this year throughout the State.
We advise everybody who is going to camp the coming summer to be particularly careful in using corned beef and all canned meats. Last Sunday a party went to Long Beach, and had among their eatables a few cans of corned beef. At night they were taken with cramps, and became very sick the next day. To prove that it was the corned beef that caused the illness, we have two reasons. First, those who did not eat of the meat were not taken ill; second, on examination of some of the meat, a green film was discovered on it close to the can. Several cases of poisoning have occurred of late throughout the country. The best way to use the meat is to first stew it thoroughly before serving.
A Republican primary election will be held throughout the county today (Saturday) from 1 to 6 P.M., to elect delegates to the Republican County Convention to convene in Los Angeles on July 28th to elect 23 delegates to the Republican State and Congressional Convention which meets at Los Angeles on August 25th, and to elect a County Central Committee. The polls at Anaheim will be at the Planters’ Hotel, E. J. Pellegrin judge, and four delegates are to be elected; Garden Grove elects one delegate, G. Hough judge; Westminster two delegates, R. T. Harris judge; Yorba one delegate, J. A. Yorba judge; San Juan one delegate, M. A. Foster judge; Santa Ana eight delegates. G. E. Freeman judge; Orange six delegates, D. C. Pixley judge.
R. J. Northam, F. C. Smythe, E. J. Pellegrin and N. H. Mitchell comprise the only ticket for Anaheim which we have heard of, and it is probable it will be elected without opposition.

There were two fires on different nights this week. One was in Orangethorpe district, and the other somewhere near the railroad track north of the depot. As no reports have been received stating that damage was done, it is likely that they were brush or stubble fires.
The fire meeting called for by the Board of Town Trustees to meet last Saturday evening was a failure. Quite a number of citizens were waiting for the hall to open and the janitor, whoever he may be, to light up; but as the latter probably had more important business than the above, he neglected his duty.
A Catholic missionary held services in the church here during the week. A fair audience was present at each meeting. He gave interesting discourses in the English, German and Spanish languages, the principal features of the subject being "Concession and Forgiveness of Sin."
While Mr. Charles Hille, accompanied by R. D. Curtis, was going down a steep grade with a wagon near the seashore, the vehicle overturned and the former was thrown out, breaking one of his ribs. He is around again, but sorrowful is his look.
Watermelons are coming in by the wagon load, but they are smaller in size than those of last season. They retail at from a nickel to fifteen cents apiece.
The S. A. V. I. Co. has purchased a pumping plant, and will at once begin to utilize the waters of the lake, for which they have a thirty years' lease.

VITICULTURAL MATTERS.
Pursuant to the call published in the Gazette last week, a number of grape growers met at Kroeger's Hall on Monday evening to organize a branch of the State Viticultural Society. Mr. J. P. Zeyn was elected temporary Chairman, and Richard Melrose, temporary Secretary. After a full discussion of the benefits which would accrue from the organization of a live and aggressive local society, in which all present expressed themselves in favor of such an organization, the following committee was appointed to procure signatures to the Society's roll of membership: F. Hartung, F. R. Krebs and F. A. Korn. Following a discussion of grape vine diseases, A. Langenberger and F. Hartung were appointed to correspond with Prof. Hilgard regarding the disease which has of late shown itself in many vineyards. The Secretary was instructed to correspond with L. J. Rose concerning the assessments recently made upon distillers by the Revenue Department, after which the meeting adjourned until Tuesday, July 27th, at 2 o'clock P.M. An afternoon session was chosen because there are many grape growers who object to going out at night, and because it is hoped that the meetings of the Society will be attended by viticulturists from the country round about.
There are problems enough in viticulture to engage the attention and enlist the interest of every grape grower. There is seldom a year in which some new freak is not developed in the vineyard or cellar, and it will be found much easier to arrive at the cause and cure of these freaks by the combined discussion, suggestions and record of experiments given at the stated meetings of grape growers.
The uppermost theme for discussion at the present time is the disease which has shown itself for the first time this year among the Mission vines. In the early part of the season large numbers of vines (and trees as well) failed to sprout at all, while we have good news for those wishing photographs. Lawrence & Son, the g...
It is not only in Anaheim that this unpleasant state of affairs exist. The same affliction is to be seen in the vineyards of the northern counties. The following doleful tale from the Monticello Grape-Grower could be repeated indefinitely:
The rot, we regret to learn, made its appearance in the vineyards on the 13th and 14th of June, sooner than usual, probably on account of the worst season that we have ever had for the vine—there having been so much wet weather and hot sun. The attack is very severe, and simultaneous all over our section. Indeed every variety of grape has suffered! Alas, for this dreaded disease; no sure remedy has been found yet. Bagging the grape is not being a success. The preventive processes advocated by Mr. Pearson are the only resource of the grape growers.
The grape rot being a fungus, as well as the mildew, it would be well to try against it sulphate of copper, by any of the processes already used against mildew. George Arnold, the Superintendent of the Monticello Wine Company, tells us that he is trying the soaked straw process on a few vines in his garden, and will let us know the result. The rot is the greatest enemy of the vine-grower; every one should try something to fight it.
Mrs. Olga Wenzel of San Francisco is visiting Anaheim as the guest of Mrs. A. Frobling.
Mr. Peter Griffin, a resident of Anaheim years ago, but now of Pomona, is in town on a visit.
Mr. Moses Hopkins, one of the owners of the Stearns Ivanchos, has been in town for several days.
Mr. Geo. W. Sponable and family and Mr. Huntington's family are camping at the Landing.
Mr. J. E. Bacon of San Juan Capistrane was in town on Thursday renewing old acquaintances.
Miss Eliza del Valle of Camulos Ranch, Ventura county, is here on a visit to the Misses Rimpan.
Mr. David Bertsch and party arrived home from a ten-day's trip through San Diego county, where they had been looking at the agricultural advantages of that section.
Frank Fox; the young Anaheim tonsorial artist, has left us. He has gone to Newhall, where he embraced the opportunity of purchasing a barber's outfit. May success attend him.
H. C. Farnharson and Ed. Gibson, Internal Revenue officials, are in town on official business. They will probably be numerously interviewed by our vintners concerning the proposed assessment by the government upon distillers.
Adolph Hensler returned from the mountains on Saturday, having been disgusted with the prospects of the trip at the sight of myriads of tarantulas, rattlesnakes and an abundance of deer. The latter being difficult to get, he killed only one during his stay.
Railroads and nothing but railroads. Everybody listens with unusual attentiveness when railroads are the topic of discussion. Last Sunday a man reported that he heard the Riverside, Santa Ana and Los Angeles train whistle in the canyon, as he was thoroughly convinced that no Anaheim train came in at noon on Sunday. The fact is, however, that a pay train came in, and the echo of its whistle was heard in the canyon, thus causing the ripple of excitement.
A man from San Bernardino, a carpenter by trade, was in town this week, exhibiting a feature of the days of '49—when a $20-piece was not considered more than a quarter is now. He was about two sheets in the wind and lavably displayed a handful of twenties, and gave some odd dollars to boys who were standing around. "A fool and his money are soon parted," and so it was in this case.

A resident of Rogina, Northwest territory is said to have opposed a proposition for day of humiliation and prayer on the ground that it would be such a bad advertisement for the country.
A Wise Reform.
The habit of administering quinine in power doses, as an antidote to malarial maladies, was dangerously common. Happily this practice has degenerated a wide reform. Not only the public professional men have adopted, not wholly, of course largely, Hostetter's Stomach Biopsy as a safer tactile substitute for the pernicious alkaloid. The fever and ague sufferers are cured—formerly their complaints were only for the time relieved, or cared—the remedy eventually failing to produce appreciable effect, except the doses are increased. A course of the Bitters, persistently followed, break up her worst attacks and prevent their return. Evidence in favor of this sterling specific and hourly hold medicine is of no ambiguous character, but stable and satisfactory, and the sources wrinkle proceeds are very numerous.
In her new book Miss Cleveland says "The western horizon gapes with crimson wounds that drop their heavy ichor on spires and dome, and reddens city windows where the golden sun beats through." This is another way of painting the town red.

Freddie Laughlin, a Times newsboy has been sadly cross-eyed.
