WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...AUGUST 14, 1886 Kleinigkeiten. Extra copies of the Gazette are kept on sale at the stores of J. Helmsen and Max Nebelung. A choice lot of yellow corn is offered for sale. See adv. The California windmill seems to be coming into general favor. Mr. J. J. Dyer has put up one of these mills on his place. F. H. Keith, agent for C. E. Leonard, gives a sharp warning to those who are indebted to Mr. Leonard. See advertisement. Rev. Mr. McNiff will lecture on "Social Drinking" at the German M. E. Church tomorrow evening at half-past seven. All are invited. A Democratic caucus will be held at Kroeger's Hall this evening to nominate delegates to the County Convention to be voted for next Tuesday. Mr. George Hinds has resigned as Supervisor, to accept the position of Collector of the Port at Wilmington, and J. W. Venable of Downey is seeking the vacant office. Kraemer Bros. have had two four horse teams at work this week hauling barley to the depot for shipment. It is said that they will harvest a large crop this year. Among the real estate transfers of the week was the following: Thomas P. Hinde and Mary Hinde, his wife, to John Goodale and Margaret Goodale, his wife—Lots 46 and 47, Anaheim; $1500. The City Council of Los Angeles has passed an ordinance making it a high crime and misdemeanor for a minor to smoke cigarettes. This swells the large total of ordi- This office is indebted to Mr. John Hartung for some excellent grapes of the Mataro and Trousscan varieties which are worthy of special mention. The Mataro grapes are from vines one year old. The bunches were large, compact, and the berries as large as those usually found on vines ten years old. The same can be said of the Trousscan, though the vines of that variety were two years old. The Trousscan has the merit of being a better table grape than the Mataro. The bunches brought to us were average samples of what is now growing in the vineyard, and we feel justified in referring to this vineyard as one of the very best in the southern country. On the ranch of Mr. Sam Shrewsbury in Santiago Canyon there is a mountain of lime which will become a mountain of wealth to its proprietor. Mr. Shrewsbury burned a large kiln last year, all of which has been sold and used, giving the greatest satisfaction to the builders. It differs from ordinary lime by having the quality of cement, and it is invaluable for making pipe building concrete houses, plastering cellars, and the hundred other uses to which cement is put. It was sold at the kiln in bulk at the rate of $125 per barrel, so that there is considerable difference in its favor, compared with cement. Mr. Shrewsbury is preparing to burn another kiln. On the farm of Mr. A. McDermont of Orangethorpe there is a pumpkin vine which bids fair to go down into history as the most prolific of its kind. Over 300 pounds of pumpkins have been picked from it already, and Mr. McDermont thinks it will yield at least 2500 pounds more. He will keep an accurate record of its product and report the result at the end of the season. The vine covers an area of forty feet. Another instance of the fecundity of the soil of this farm is the fact that the walnut trees there-on have made so far a growth of eight feet this season, though they were unusually late in starting. From Superintendent Field of the Ostrich Farm we learn that the birds are doing well, but that when they are removed to North Anaheim they will probably do better. Two nests of twelve and eight eggs re- Among the real estate transfers of the week was the following: Thomas P Hinde and Marv Hinde, his wife, to John Goodale and Margaret Goodale, his wife—Lots 46 and 47, Anaheim; $1500. The City Council of Los Angeles has passed an ordinance making it a high crime and misdemeanor for a minor to smoke cigarettes. This swells the large total of ordinances which will remain a dead letter. At the meeting of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co. held on last Saturday, Mr. A. J. Mead resigned his position as Director, he having sold his stock and thus become insoluble. The resignation was accepted, and Mr. Sias Holman was elected to fill the vacancy. In the case of the Anaheim Union Water Co. vs. Marus Meyer, wherein defendant was charged with trespassing upon the ditches of the company with his sheep, a verdict was given for plaintiff in the sum of $150. The case was tried before Justice Freeman of Santa Ana. Jeff Thompson, a son of County Jailer Thompson, was killed near Gorman's station on Tuesday by the accidental discharge of his gun. It is a curious coincidence that a week previous one of Thompson's employees, Francisco Martinez, was killed on the same ranch by the accidental discharge of his pistol. The road that leads to Walnut street from the depot, which was closed by the railroad company, has again been opened. As the road was there before the railroad was constructed, the company was forced to open it. This road is the means of making the distance for teams much shorter. The road to the depot is now in fine condition. It was lately strawed from Mr. Hilmer's residence to a point near the depot. Sycamore street has also been strawed from Fred. Hartung's place down to the main water gate at Osfinger's. Several other roads in the town limits need repairs and strawing. We know of no better way of illustrating the fact that Anaheim has an abundance of summer water than by relating a melancholy occurrence which happened last week. A team employed in scraping the ditch became bogged in the mud in one of the fills. One of the horses fell down and before it could be extricated it was drowned. We have come to the conclusion that all sorts of rumors circulated in this vicinity of late are absolutely without foundation, and one is throwing away his time if he accurate record of its product and report the result at the end of the season. The vine covers an area of forty feet. Another instance of the peculiarity of the soil of this farm is the fact that the walnut trees there have made so far a growth of eight feet this season, though they were unusually late in starting. From Superintendent Hold of the Ostrich Farm we learn that the birds are doing well, but that when they are removed to North Anaheim they will probably do better. Two nests of twelve and eight eggs respectively are now beingatched. The owners of the farm have given permission to the Superintendent to sell the feathers, a permission which has been fully availed of by one lady who has already engaged at a stated sum a feather that is still growing on the bird. The price of feathers range from $2 to $8 each. Mr. John Westphal, formerly of Anaheim but now of Pomona, has an contemplation the erection of an additional winery to his already large one at the latter place. He intends to go into the business largely this year, and purchases all his grapes from growers usually at a price which pays better than if he were to raise them. He has the only winery in Pomona as yet, and his cellar is in close proximity to the railroad track, and intends in the future to have a switch laid from the main track to the cellar. The services at St. Michael's Episcopal Church to morrow (Sunday) evening at eight o'clock will be of unusual interest. Rev. Mr Loop of Pomona, formerly of Anaheim, will officiate. Mendelssohn's Wedding March will be rendered by an orchestra, and one of Anaheim's fair daughters will be led to the matrimonial altar. No special invitations have been issued and all friends of the happy couple will no doubt be glad to grace the occasion with their presence. Andrew J. Whitney died suddenly Wednesday morning while driving from Santa Ana towards McPherson, east of Orange. As he had been under medical treatment for some time, and death appeared to result from natural causes, Justice Freeman of Santa Ana concluded that an inquest was unnecessary. Mr. Whitney was a resident of Riverside, and a member of the Odd Fellows' Lodge of that town. Mr. Henry Padderatz has just completed the boring of a well for Mr. H. Hetebrink, obtaining a fine supply of water at a great depth. He has the contract for boring another on the place of Mr. Seppi, who recently purchased the Coquillett tract south-east of town. Mr. Seppi's family is expected to arrive from the East this fall, and he will soon commence the work of improvement.

A team employed in scraping the ditch became bogged in the mud in one of the fills. One of the horses fell down and before it could be extricated it was drowned. We have come to the conclusion that all sorts of rumors circulated in this vicinity of late are absolutely without foundation, and one is throwing away his time if he were to listen to them, judging from the one that Mr. D. Lieb was murdered in San Bernardino, as some persons here actually ascertained that they had received an account of the murder of a person answering his description. Mr. Lieb is here again on a visit, looks healthier and happier than when he went away, and desires us to state that the persons who doubt his presence in the land of the living should call at the hotel and be convinced. The San Francisco Bulletin says: In solid, substantial improvements, as indicated by brick blocks, extensive mercantile establishments, esthetic, homelike residences, indicating both taste and culture, Santa Ana, I think, with the possible exception of Pasadena, stands at the head. In the production of fine wines, table grapes and citrus fruits, Anaheim holds a leading position, second probably to none, in the general prosperity of its citizens. There are fewer mortgages and for a less amount recorded against Anaheim property than probably in any other section of the same assessment in the State, which goes to show a most satisfactory financial condition of its thrifty population. In the production of Muscat grapes for raisin-making, Orange stands head and shoulders above all competitors. The vineyards of Santa Ana, Tustin and other places may and do produce more tons to the acre. But for a first-class raisin grape the Muscata raised on the gravelly and adobe soils of Orange mesa lands have no equals. Mr. Henry Padderatz has just completed the boring of a well for Mr. H. Hotebrink, obtaining a fine supply of water at a great depth. He has the contract for boring another on the place of Mr. Seppi, who recently purchased the Coquillett tract south-east of town. Mr. Seppi's family is expected to arrive from the East this fall, and he will soon commence the work of improvement. Last Sunday evening and on several nights last week one could see a camp-fire near the summit of Old Baldy. It shone brightly and could be seen flickering, so that the fire must have been quite large. As snow balling can be enjoyed at this time of year up there, it is a necessity to have a camp-fire even on these warm nights. Work has been assumed on one of the mines in the Silverado district, and a shipment of forty sacks of assorted ore will be made to San Francisco in a few days for assay. Previous assays of ore from the same mine yielded from $30 to $400 per ton. Whether work will be resumed on this mine on a large scale will depend upon the result of the assay about to be made. Mr. H. Kroeger has raised his residence about four feet from the wooden foundation, and taken the old woodwork out. He has put in a four-row brick foundation, which will give the house a neat appearance and also secure better ventilation. Having unsuccessfully tried to dispose of the jewelry department of their business, Pellegrin & Son have determined to carry it on more vigorously than ever.

Mr. George R. Rice discovered the fact that much of the imported fruit came in covered with San Jose scale, the worst of all the scale species. In consequence the Scale Bug Commissioners have stationed special officers at the Los Angeles depot, and all infected shipments will be destroyed. A. Brigden, of the Lamanda Park Winery, says the failure of the sweet wine bill in Congress is disastrous to wine makers and grape growers. No prices have been set yet for grapes, and it is not known whether many grapes will be bought yet. In the Napa valley grapes will probably bring a fair price. The rates now talked of are from $20 to $22 per ton for Zinfandel, and for Chasselas, Rieslings and Sanvignon vert $25 per ton. Berger not below $20 and finer varieties such as Carignon, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Malbec, etc., between $25 and $40 per ton. Missions will command the lowest price of any grape, and Malvoisie, although counted as an inferior grape, will, by proper management and introduction, bring a high price as table fruit. The following advertisement is published in the Los Angeles papers: There will be a meeting held in the Supreme Court rooms, over the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, Saturday next, the 14th of August, at 1 o'clock P.M., in which you are all very much interested—for the purpose of stating our necessities to Hon. Asa Ellis, Collector of this coast, and through him to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington. You are aware there has been a sweeping assessment made and a new circular issued embodying impossible requirements, and both require your early attention in order to make representations of our troubles and get relief, to enable us to work, for if no relief is had the grape crop will bring but little money, for, as it now stands, there are no buyers. By order of MANY VINEYARDISTS. In order to allow Anaheim vineyardists to attend the above meeting, the proposed organization of the Horticultural and Viticultural Society, which was fixed for to-day, has been deferred until a future time, of which due notice will be given.

Adjoining this place is eighty acres owned by Mr. H. Werder. On this place is a magnificent stand of corn and a vineyard planted this year of which fully ninety per cent has made an excellent growth, and all without water. These and other similar instances numerous enough suggest the idea that water is not so essential for horticultural purposes as pioneers imagine. From Mr. M. B. Craig, who was in town yesterday, we learn that the vineyards of Orange are looking well, except the Mission vines. Mr. Craig sold his crop of Muscat last year for $600 on the vines (he has five acres) and the crop is equally as large this season.

He says that moonlight sparkles long strolls on the beach are all there. He will start for his home in Tacoma, W.T., about 17th instant. Mr. George Armbruster left last Satt morning for the East where he still has business matters. During his stay he will vertise and introduce California wines being associated with Mr. J. Yaager in Southern California Wine and Fruit company. Harry and Esther Dobner, who have spent a part of their vacation here their parents, left yesterday morning San Francisco, where they will spend two weeks with relatives and then return Deaf and Dumb Institute at Berkeley for the fall term. Mr Alex Gardiner returned home Saturday after an absence of several months among the wheat fields of San Joaquin Valley. The best crops this year have grown in Tulare county, where the average has been seven sacks to the acre. The age elsewhere has been four sacks. wheat is not of first quality, being priced The action of the Internal Revenue Department in the matter of assessment upon distillers is unjust, annoying and expensive, but there is just the faintest ground for suspicion that the episode is being "worked" to the detriment of the masses of grape growers and the benefit of grape buyers. The assertion that unless the government guarantees immunity from such raids as inaugurated by Special Agent Webb, no wine maker will dare buy grapes, is the veriest bosh, and is an insult to the intelligence of the men to whom it is directed. Such a threat can have no possible influence upon the action of the Revenue Department; in fact, the only possible influence it can have is to cause a needless feeling of alarm among grape growers who rely upon the sale of their grapes, and to needlessly discourage the newcomers who are here with a view of purchasing land and planting vineyards. It is natural enough that grape buyers should want to buy grapes for the lowest possible price, but every man who is interested and takes a pride in the growth and prosperity of our county should deprecate the utterance and publication of such loose, extravagant and absurd statements as the one in regard to grape prices quoted in this paragraph. At the meeting of grape growers in Anaheim some weeks ago, Messrs. Langenberger and Fred. Hartung were appointed a committee to correspond with Prof. Hilgard of the State University regarding the disease of the Mission vine. In response to the communication sent, Mr. Langenberger received a letter from Prof. Hilgard, dated the 8th instant, in which he says: I received your letter of the 28th and grape leaves accompanying same. I requested Mr. E. J. Wickson, who is an expert microscopist, to examine them, and I enclose his report on the subject. You perceive that he agrees with me in the opinion that the trouble lies back of the leaves, in the stem and roots of the vine, and inferentially in the soil. What you say about the latter and its perfect drainage seems to indicate that my conjecture in regard to bad drainage is not to the point; but I still think that the examination of the soil will lead to the recognition of a probable cause for the evil, and its remedy. He goes on to say that Mr. F. W. Morse, his assistant, will make the examination required if his expenses are guaranteed. As this is vacation time, no University funds are available, and he thinks the present is a much better time to study up the subject with prospects for a practical solution of the problem. Sufficient funds having been subscribed, O. Garlics, this season, from four and a half acres of apricot trees from six to nine years old, realized $3,000, and has the documents to show for it that he is telling "the truth and nothing but the truth."—Vacaville Reporter.

New York, August 10. — Bonfort's Wine Circular says: The receipts of California wine during the past month by way of the Isthmus amounted to 97,539 gallons, against 74,761 gallons last July, and 78,429 gallons in the same month of 1884. The totals for the seven months of this year were 568,025 gallons. Last year there were 668,491 gallons received, and in 1884 723,549 gallons of brandies were received. For the month there were 7,501 gallons, and for the seven months 65,739 gallons. Last year in July 772 gallons were received, and up to the end of that month 5,752 gallons. In the first seven months of 1884 there were received 19,650 gallons. The horticultural situation in Chicago is thus stated in a special dispatch: "There is one fact of which shippers should not lose sight, which is, that while fruit may appear in fine shape when it is loaded into the cars in California, much of it has a very different appearance on its arrival here. Take Bartlett Pears, for instance, large portions of which are 'cooked' or 'baked' (a term used by fruitmen), on their arrival here. Pears in one part of the box appear all right, while in another part they have become so heated that they have all turned black, and are almost worthless." It is reported that some cars which have been consigned direct from California to Eastern markets have arrived in such poor condition that the prices have been little if any more than the freight charges. In fact, some cars consisted to Chicago have arrived in such poor order during the last ten days that, taken in connection with the low prices, there must be serious losses to growers and shippers, and to have consigned them further east would have resulted in almost a total loss. Bartlett Pears are mostly in bad condition, and on this account are selling at low prices, at $1@2 per box. Muscat grapes arrived in fine order, and bring $1 75@2 per box, but with increased receipts it is expected they will share the same fate as that of the Bartlett pears, and prices will decline materially. It is doubted by commission men if Muscat grapes will bring $1 per crate when the crop arrives freely, and the same may be said of Gros prunes, which are at present selling at $1 50@2. Peaches are doing very well and bring from $1 20@1 75 per crate, owing to condition, but as the Delaware and Michigan peach crop is near at hand, it is probable lower prices will have to be accepted for those now in. It is getting late in the season for nearly all early varieties of plums, for which prices are ruling low." Railroad News. The surveyors of the R., S. A. & L.

The report of Mr. Wickson, referred to in Prof. Hilgard's letter, is as follows: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY. August 6, 1886. PROF. E. W. HILGARD—Dear Sir: I have given a careful microscopic examination to the leaves and grape clusters from Mr. Langenberger of Anaheim. I do not find any traces of parasitic growth which could have caused the death of the leaves. There does not appear to be any interference with the cellular structure of the leaf, as is the case when it is invaded by a fungoid parasite. There is, however, a disorganization of the cell contents, the obvious effect of which is the changed color and the death of the leaf. The seat of this disease must I think, be looked for in the vine or its roots, and the cause cannot be ascertained from examination of the leaves, which simply show the effects. I find on the leaves scattered and small patches of fungus growth, but they are clearly mold (penicillium) which is common upon dead leaves, and cannot be considered as the cause of the trouble. Yours, very respectfully, E. J. WICKSON. We had occasion yesterday to visit the vineyard of Mr. H. D. Polhemus, about three miles from town, and confess to seeing viticultural results that were surprising. This vineyard is just outside the water district, and has never been irrigated, and yet the vines have made a growth fully equal to that of any vineyard in the district. His Flame Tokays and Muscats are bearing heavily, and if there are any larger berries on irrigated vines, we have failed to see them. Mr. Polhemus would not irrigate if Railroad News. The surveyors of the R., S. A. & L. A. R. R. have been industriously at work running various lines throughout the North Anaheim country and into this town during the week. We hope soon to be able to definitely announce the route to be taken by the road. In the meantime, when we want authoritative news concerning the company's work, present and prospective, we go away from home to get it. Following are some waits caught up by the editorial scissors: Los Angeles Herald: There are three hundred men at work in the Santiago Canyon, near Anaheim. All that is known now is that a branch will cross from Anaheim to Los Angeles, and another from the canyon to Oceanside. The Colton Semi-Tropic says: From Geo. M. Walt, who arrived from the Riverside, Santa Ana and Los Angeles railroad camp near Anaheim yesterday, we learn that the grading of that road is being pushed forward rapidly, and is now within fifteen miles of Anaheim. It is very probable the grading of the road bed will all be completed within the next four months, as the land left to be graded over now is comparatively level. Mr. Herman Meyerholz, a brother of Mrs. H. Cahen, died at Santa Clara on Friday of last week, aged about 27 years. He resided in Anaheim some years ago, and has many friends here who will regret to bear of his death. The iron pillars for Schindler's building have been put in position, so that now the work of laying brick can progress. Work was commenced on the front yesterday morning. The price of photographs have been reduced by Mr. A. L. Pellegrin. See ad. The Grand Army delegates are graduating finding their way home by installment Day by day large numbers either come to pass through Los Angeles. But it is supposed that nearly every veteran "stops over" here a day or two, at least, to feel his eyes on the novel view of semi-tropical products and scenery, which abound in this section. Yesterday fiveteen carloads of penners, undoubtedly composed almost entirely of G. A. R. delegates, on their return trip, came down from San Francisco by train Southern Pacific, while two carloads more took the route from Mojave via Colton this city. The Santa Rosa also brought down an immense number of passengers. Sunday next the grand excursion from San Francisco, at $10 round fare, will reach her and will certainly bring a vast throng.
