There is a large demand for asphaltum in Los Angeles for paving purposes. Master Frank Ferdinand Ey had a few of his friends at a jollification on Thursday, to commemorate his safe arrival at his 8th birthday. May the young gentleman live to a good old age, and never know more of care and trouble than he does now. Mr. F. S. Wallace, the Financier of Anaheim Lodge, No. 85, A. O. U. W., is off for a bristle season of recreation. Members of this lodge will please pay their dues and assessments to Dr. J. S. Gardiner at the post office, until the Financier's return. An Italian, known in Anaheim by the name of "Cook," was recently released from a ninety days' term in the County Jail. He was arrested on Tuesday for indecent exposure of person, and taken to Los Angeles on Wednesday morning to serve a twenty days' sentence. Ivar A. Weid was in town on Tuesday as a committee from the G. A. R. to solicit contributions of wines to refresh the veterans. In half a day he secured all the requirements that were necessary, our vintners responding with the promptness with which such an appeal is always met. In the contempt cases of Horace Bell, editor of the Porcupine, Judge Brunson has discharged the defendant from the $100 fine imposed for insolent and contemptuous language used by Bell in addressing the Court. Two men, who were under the influence of liquor, engaged in a high old fight on Monday evening, and one of the men was stabbed and otherwise bruised, but the other also received his share. The man who started the fight was arrested and lodged in jail but two hours, when some person bailed him out. Judge Fox finned him $6.25 on Wednesday morning, and his companion in the affray "made up" by paying $3 of the fine. A distressing accident occurred at Long Beach Monday afternoon about 2:15 o'clock, by which Ellie Wright, the 11-year-old son of Rev. M. Wright of Riverside met almost instant death. The little boy was playing on the beach near the pier, when a huge log was thrown up by the surf. It rolled upon the boy and crushed him down. Assistance soon arrived, and the injured boy was picked up, but it was quite apparent he could not live, and he died in about fifteen minutes. The howl of the coyote is heard at night in the vicinity of vineyards, and he is probably aware that grapes are ripe in some parts. A young vineyardist on Center street informs us that he seen "two legged coyotes" making retURNal visits to the place of ripe grapes and pull off branches of half ripe fruit, which they throw away if not satisfactory. He also says that teams stop by the roadside and the men enter the vineyards to return with an armful of grapes, washing half of them as a matter of course. It will certainly be necessary to put a watchman on the lookout if this practice continues. Mr. Erwin Barr has presented us with a piece of petrified wood taken from the cliffs on Laguna beach. There is a large petrified log plainly visible in these cliffs at a distance of forty-five feet from the summit. It would be an interesting calculation to "gigger out" how long that log has been reposing in its rocky bed. The Times has it that the R. S. A. and L. A. R. E. will run direct to Long Beach, and then direct to Los Angeles with a spur to deep water at Ruth'snake Island. This rumor, like a thousand others, has not the signature of the General Manager of the road blown on the cork. Still another wine cellar is to be built. This time it is in West Anaheim, and Mr. Alex Henry is the builder. He made some excellent wine last year, which brought a good price, and encouraged by his success he will go into the business largely this year. A proposition is on foot to extend a small iron pipe from the Chandler oil wells at Petroha to San Pedro harbor, where it will steadily discharge a small stream of oil on the water and make it a placid sea, on whose breast the ships that float shall have no barnacles. Beginning to morrow (Sunday) and continuing until Wednesday, the Southern Pacific will sell round-trip tickets from Los Angeles to San Francisco, good until August both, for $21 70. These tickets are sold to everybody, including G. A. R. men. Henry Kroeger, a public-spirited citizen of Anaheim, has offered one half of his twenty-acre vineyard, south of the village, to the new railroad company for a depot.

A Sunday at Long Beach does not differ greatly from a Sunday at other places which are denominated as wicked. A correspondent, writing of how last Sunday was spent at that resort, says: "The shooting in this vicinity should bring many sportsmen here. A party of three from the hotel went out for a few hours this afternoon with their double-barrels and brought home fifty-five ducks, many of which were fat mallard. The manner of passing a day here can be arranged to suit all tastes. For instance: To-day some exercises were going on most all the time at the Tabernaele; bathing was kept up all day; the tennis court was occupied by active groups of players; the shooting party referred to hunted their sport; Captain Banning had his six-in-hand and coach out with a party of friends, and driving, resting, walking on the beach and flirting occupied others." Ira B. Kilgore shot and killed John H. Oldridge in Luitweiler's wagon shop in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning. Kilgore was sent to Luitweiler's book-keeper and Oldridge was foreman of the paint shop. There had been ill feeling between the men for some time, and Kilgore had been thrashed on two occasions by Oldridge. On Tuesday Kilgore bore a message from Luitweiler to Oldridge to "touch up those shafts, or take his things and go home," Oldridge having previously refused to obey Kilgore's orders. Oldridge threw a putty knife at Kilgore, and then advanced as if to attack him, when Kilgore drew a pistol and fired, the ball striking his opponent below the left shoulder and entering the heart, causing death within a few minutes.

The jury in the case of the People vs. Dilley, charged with cruelly beating a horse, gave a verdict yesterday of not guilty, after a deliberation of less than ten minutes. The case was tried in Justice Fox's court. The Board of Supervisors have adjourned as a County Board of Equalization without doing any damage to this bailwick. Hence this sigh of relief. Mrs. Wm. J. Smith, who has had the painful experience of an encounter with a stingray, recommends the application of hot ashes as the most speedy remedy. No Eastern mail has been received at the Anaheim postoffice since last Saturday. Washouts along the line are the cause. August Krug, Our enterprising druggist, guarantees positive relief for any cough, cold, croup, asthma, whooping cough and all lung and bronchial complaints by the use of that pleasant and never-failing remedy, SANTA ABIE, the California King of Consumption cures. Try it. There is a lull in real estate matters. Cause—Mr. Keith is laying in a fresh supply of health at Anaheim Landing. Solicitor of Patents, F. O. McCleary, of Washington, D.

The grape-growers of Anaheim met on Tuesday pursuant to adjournment, and in response to a telegram from L. J. Rose convened at 12 o'clock to permit of a conference with that gentleman regarding the assessment on distillers. Mr. Rose gave some facts connected therewith not generally known, and strongly urged organized resistance to the imposition sought to be practiced upon grape-growers. His suggestions were to the point, though brief, as he returned to Los Angeles on the afternoon train. The meeting adjourned to 2 o'clock, and at that hour the committee reported a constitution and by laws which were duly adopted. A letter to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, setting forth "in language quite plain," the views and grievances of the grape growers, was read and Messrs. Korn, F. Hansung and Zeyn were appointed a committee to get the signatures of every grape-grower to the letter. An adjournment was then taken to Saturday, August 14th, at 2 o'clock P.M., at which time officers will be elected and the society set fairly upon what is hoped will be a career of usefulness. It will be seen from the constitution and by laws that horticulturists as well as viticulurists are eligible. There are enough of both classes in this vicinity to make every session of the society interesting, instructive and profitable not only to those who attend but to the outside world as well, through the reports of the debates and proceedings of each meeting which will be duly chronicled in the Gazette. The following vigorous letter will be interesting reading to others besides grape-growers. It is commended especially to the careful consideration of Mr. Webb: ANAHEIM, July 27, 1886. HON. JOSEPH S. MILLER, COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE—Dear Sir—The usual regimen, grape growers and distillers of Anaheim and all county neighborhoods, meet today to take into consideration what we should do or be relieved from the unjust and sweeping assessment which has been made against distillers. We are not even sure that we understand the exact grounds on which this assessment is made. As we understand it, it is upon a supposition that we could have made or might have made more brandy than we have paid taxes upon, and this is the theory of a special California embarked in this industry years ago. What they have is the accumulation of years of toll. The revenue laws have been an after consideration, and California's grape industry has paid millions of dollars revenue, and willingly, too. It is yet in its infancy, and if it is protected in its infancy and experimental stage, it will continue in its increasing revenue. It may be stated as a fact, although said by ourselves, that the vineyardists of this State as a body are the equal for honesty, industry and morality of any equal number of men in any other pursuit or industry, and it will not be deemed an unreasonable request when we ask that the laws that are to govern us should be just and equal. There should be a plain law governing distilling based upon a knowledge of the puruit and made in such a way that it cannot be evaded, for it is no great hardship to comply with a law if all others have to comply with it, but it would be very difficult to observe what others are enabled to evade, for it would simply mean ruin. We claim, too, that there should be no traps set for us. Whether this trap be set by accident or by design makes no difference in its result. To be led into the belief that a certain provision of law will not be enforced (in fact, as the regulations now stand, it is almost impossible to enforce it) and then continually send first one then another special agent, and the usefulness of each new one that comes being gauged by his harrassing inquisitiveness; filling us with continued dread and anxiety and making life a burden. For as a rule these men don't know anything about distilling or our affairs, and have no feeling or interest in our pursuits. Take the prescript instance: Almost every distiller is assessed whether such distiller ever made a gallon of sweet wine or not. Whether one man made very much or very little had nothing to do with it. In fact, the special agent could not know anything about it, only by public rumor; yet all are branded as having stolen brandy and not paid revenge tax on enough. There has been no unstamped brandy found anywhere; it is simply a kind of ad valorem go-as-you please assessment, and we are cited to defend ourselves without 'being shown that we have broken a law. We are adjudged guilty and are compelled to defend ourselves. This is unjust and unfair and it will injure every grape grower in the State. Even for this vintage it will do more dollars and cents injury to the producer of grapes than ten such assessments would amount to, even were their collection not enforced," for distillers will not voluntarily place themselves in a position where arbitrary assessments can be made against them simply by the whim of some government agent, and subject themselves to ruin, in purse and reputation. There is not now a distiller in Los Angeles county who is willing to say that he will buy a ton of grapes at any price, and that the price will be a very low one is certain, and all by reason of this circumstance. Reading of essay. General discussion. New business. Unfinished business. Adjournment. According to information received headquarters of the State Viticultural mission in San Francisco on Monday it learned that the previously estimated crop of 25,000,000 gallons will not reached. The latest estimate, based on vices from all parts of the State, shows this year's wine crop will not amble much over 16,000,000 gallons. The decline has been caused by a disease called "confluence." The present year's crop will greatly increase in quantity than that of 1885, and a delusions due to unease consumption will lead 10,000,000 gallons for exportation. The S. Helena Star has the following tradictory reports: Reports from Glen Eilen state that grape crop has suffered damage to the tent of 25 per cent. from the hot spell it will not average much above that of 1885. Similar reports come from Windle. The hot weather is working serious injury to the fruit crop, especially grapes in vicinity of Santa Rosa. The young grape are becoming burned, and corn especially adobe soils, is withered. Grape-growers report that contrary to expectation the grape crop, except varieties will not be nearly as large as anticipated in the Napa and Sonoma valleys and most other parts of the State. It will however, be heavy in the San Joaquin Valley. There has been much talk about the great damage supposed to have been done the grape crop by the warm weather and north winds. From what can be learned from different reports from all parts of the country, it appears that the fears in a greedy degree are groundless. In some sections one or two vineyards, perhaps, have suffered to some extent from the causes mentioned but the majority of our grape culture feel safe and prophesy a larger than average crop. From northern part of the country the prospects were never better, especially so in the neighborhood of Clovordale and Geyserville.

The matter stood thus: If the revenue was collected, or rather, if the laws were strictly enforced, all such sweet wines, at least very largely would cease to be made, and as a result there would be no revenue for the government anyway, and our grape industry would be crippled to a very great extent. As you may not understand the peculiar conditions existing in those southern counties, we will make a brief statement. In the fall when grapes are ripe, we begin vintage when grapes show, say 22 per cent of sugar. If the season is cool, then there may be two or three weeks when the per cent will not exceed 25 per cent, but generally we have terms of hot weather and the soil being exhausted of moisture the percentage of sugar (by reason of the grapes drying, thus losing their water) will run up much higher. Take grapes with not over 25 per cent of sugar and they are in favorable condition to make natural or dry wines which, if intelligently made and cared for, keep sound for years. But grapes that run much higher in sugar cannot be fermented out dry, but will retain after fermentation more or less sugar, and this moiety of sugar will cause a disturbance after fermentation and turn the wine sour (milk sour, as it is termed) and such wines have no commercial value excepting for distilling. But such overripe grapes are especially adapted for making our best Ports and other wines carrying more or less sugar, and by adding a certain amount of brandy fermentation is checked at any given stage of sweetness, and the brandy which checks the fermentation also keeps it thereafter. It is true that brandy can be made out of such defective wine, but the brandy market is fully supplied. It is continually near the overflowing point of demand, and although gradually increasing in demand, yet the market would not stand any considerable increase without breaking to such low prices that it would entail ruin on many. These are the facts why sweet wines are made, and must be made, if our grape crop is to be utilized. You are aware that there is a bill before Congress permitting free spirit. You are aware that California takes more pride in her grape industry than any other production, and no doubt you believe with us that the free spirit bill is a reasonable request to ask for. It should be held that the producer should have as much protecting care as the manufacturer, and to protect the viticulturist makes employment for thousands of people, young and old; makes happy, prosperous homes and gives us pure, beneficial home products to take the place of those of doubtful purity and foreign make. It gives employment to our own people, instead of buying the labor of other countries.
