WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY JANUARY 1, 1887. Leinigkeiten. Items of News and Correspondence on all live subjects are solicited by the editor. Be brief, and write directly to the point. All communications must be signed by the author, not for publication but for the information of the editor. Handsome styles of New Year Cards printed at the Gazette office. The postoffice will be open to-day from 11 to 12:30, and from 6 to 7 P.M. Messrs. Witte and Smythe have removed to the office adjoining Justice Pierce's court room. The Orange Tribune is doing vigorous work in probing the citizens of that section into getting rights of way for the railroad. Nelson Van Tassel has been appointed Postmaster at El Monte, and C. W. Longdon at San Gabriel. The three heaviest taxpayers in the county are I. W. Hellman, $14,242; A. Robinson, Trustee, $13,352; E. J. Baldwin, $12,912. The property of Adams and Miller west of the railroad track, bounded on the east by Walnut street, has been bonded to the syndicate for $16,000. During the first eleven months of this year 4000 packages were sent and received through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express office at Anaheim. "The Northern Citrus Bilk" is what the Times irreverently calls the thermal belt around the summit of Mount Shasta and thereabouts. As a coiner of pertinent phrases, the Times takes the "Belt." The Street Lamps Anahaimers were hoping to see the streets illuminated with gas on Christmas night, but it was not until Tuesday evening that the lamps were lighted. Owing to the absence of Mr. Fish, the lamp-posts were not put in position until his return, when orders were given that the plumbers proceed immediately with the work of erecting them. One lamp post has been erected on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, in front of the Planters' Hotel; one in front of Kroeger's Hall; another on the corner of Lemon and Center streets, opposite Langenberger's store, and one on the corner of Clementina and Center streets opposite the bakery. Three have been erected on Los Angeles street, and one each is to be put up on First North and South First streets, respectively. Another improvement which has been made to show that our town is eventually "getting there" is the erection of these street lamps. Water Wanted. It is about time that the floodgates of heaven were opened, or something to that effect. In plain words, it is time it rained. There has been a slight rainfall throughout the State, and a drizzle in this county on Wednesday night, and an abundance of clouds on Thursday, raised hopes that were blighted by yesterday's bright and shining sun. Although it can never be known what a day will bring forth in the matter of weather, yet the prospects are flattering for a season of scant rainfall. And yet there may be a flood. Up to this date in 1884 the precipitation was 2.84 inches; to January 1, 1885, 4.61 inches; to January, 1886, 3.99 inches, and during that month the precipitation was 2.60 inches, the rainfall beginning on the 11th. This season up to date the fall has been 53-hundredths. Wet Winter Predicted. Some months ago the natives of a certain district in New South Wales left their low-lying camp grounds for the higher country, saying that a flood was approaching. Some During the first eleven months of this year 4000 packages were sent and received through Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express office at Anaheim. "The Northern Citrus Bilk" is what the Times irreverently calls the thermal belt around the summit of Mount Shasta and thereabouts. As a coiner of pertinent phrases, the Times takes the "Belt." The energetic and enterprising Kimpan Bros. give our readers greeting in their advertisement to-day. No firm is more deserving of the success which we are glad to know rewards their efforts as business men. Applicants for teachers' certificates are notified that the examination will take place in the Assembly room of the Normal School building, Los Angeles, commencing on the 4th instant and continuing four days. F. H. Keith has removed his real estate office to the building adjoining Harker's audilery, where those who want to invest in Anaheim property will find him ready to show numerous bargains. The store of J. A. Mitrovich of Downey was broken into on Thursday night of last week, and the safe robbed of about $500 in money and valuable papers. The barglars stole a hand-car, and rode into Los Angeles after their exploits. Sheriff Keys has appointed B. F. Porter Deputy Sheriff for Anaheim. His other appointments so far are: H. M. Mitchell, Under Sheriff; R. M. Barham, Terrence Cooney, J. C. Cline and Charles Cruz. Jim Thompson remains as jailer. The warehouse of Kellogg Bros. at the depot, which has been in use as a raisin-packing house, has been leased by E. T. Earl, who has purchased sufficient oranges in the southern part of this county to keep him busy packing until June. The shed that adjoined the residence of J. Yacger on Center street, which was formerly used for storing agricultural implements, has been moved into the rear of the yard, and the foundation for a business house will soon commence to loom up. It was rumored that the lot on the corner of Lemon and South Second streets had been sold to the population inhabiting the present Chinatown. It was learned, however, that there was no foundation in the rumor, a fact of which everybody is glad. Chinatown in the rear of one of our hotels is something that Anaheimers couldn't stand. Wet Winter Predicted. Some months ago the natives of a certain district in New South Wales left their low-lying camp grounds for the higher country, saying that a flood was approaching. Some weeks later the floods came, and the natives said their sole information regarding them was gathered from the insects, which had built their nests in the trees instead of on the ground, as usual. We have in Anaheim weather prophets who base their predictions upon the movements of birds and animals. One of these prophets predicts a wet winter because of the number of blue birds and robins in the valley. The squirrels have not yet begun to roost on top of the weeds, but that will doubtless be the case later in the season. Increase in Postal Business. As noted in these columns a few weeks ago the business of the Anaheim postoffice has almost doubled during the past quarter. Postmaster Gardiner tells us that during the year he has forwarded 700 registered letters and packages and issued 1340 money orders. During the last ten days he has issued 106 money orders and postal notes. Enough to Float a Ship. A close estimate has been made by the Anaheim agent of the Southern Pacific of the quantity of wine yet remaining in the Anaheim cellars, and he finds that there are one million nine hundred thousand gallons yet to be shipped, and a possibility that some small lots were overlooked. ORANGETHORPE, Dec. 30, 1886. EDITOR GAZETTE.-At the risk of being chestnutted we must say: Altogether the most enjoyable occasion Orangethorpe has ever known was the box and basket social on Tuesday evening. There were about seventy-five present, the refreshments were excellent and abundant, and the short programme by the children was well rendered and well received. The host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Munger, left nothing undone which would add in any way to the enjoyment of the evening. The community is to be congratulated on having such cultured and enterprising people in their midst. Long may they stay. The installation of officers of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. & A. M., on Monday evening was the occasion of a very pleasant reunion of the brethren, and a most abundant time for preparation before a rehearsal. The Bureau has Main street, open Los Angeles, in all of the products evening. Although only on Wednesday time for preparation will be a credit to be a revelation to the old residents there are people county for tweets; the idea that no wine, but they will visit Mott's ing. Short addition to the evening by they know about A PERFECT An exhibit of very much like paper—it gives an idea sought to be letter text. It that Monday morning that special brand will be transferring of the Bureau at the strangers move it will be given. The citizens who perity of this secrecy shall secure its vitality to bring free time to time to Bureau, and its trews, will prove that the proper care spirited donors. MEETING A hastily-called had on Wednesday to receive and Wednesday. Also mentioned, the following: Committee on Press Messrs. Keith, James, Fee, W., Mesdames Butler, J. Smith, McDermott Grimshaw, Scott Knapp, L. G. Kegrin, H. C. Gadee Schmidt, Katie B Carrie Paty, Lillie Mary Horastman, Committee on Television and Alex Davis, Committee on Pachard, Grimshaw Nellie Bancroft. These committees noon to appoint staff the various details press before a rehearsal had. We can probably not be too lenient of the content from Los Angeles roasting of the oak occasion promises! It was rumored that the lot on the corner of Lemon and South Second streets had been sold to the population inhabiting the present Chinatown. It was learned, however, that there was no foundation in the rumor, a fact of which everybody is glad. Chinatown in the rear of one of our hotels is something that Anaheimers couldn’t stand. Staley & Cowan have finished packing the raisin crop of the season of 1886. On Tuesday the ladies were discharged, and a few days later the male employees had finished getting the machinery and packing utensils into shape for storing it away until the next season’s pack of raisins. Christmas Day passed off quietly in Anaheim—which is usually characteristic of our town on that occasion. No intoxicated men were to be seen on the streets; neither were there any fights, cutting scrapes or other criminal disturbances. Even our town jail is advertised “to let” in the Los Angeles daily papers. The horses which so unceremoniously dumped Mr. Chilson out of his wagon, as detailed last week, were found by Browning Bros. after a long search. They had run up into a canyon too small to permit them to turn around and come out again, and when found they had been without food for six days. No ill effects are apparent, however. Articles of incorporation have been filed by the Homet Gold Mining Company, the object being to purchase and develop mining property. The principal place of business will be Los Angeles. The Directors are A. H. Judson, of San Gorgonio; T. A. Darling, of Anaheim; E. E. Chilson, of Anaheim; F. R. Burnham, of Pasadena, and W. P. Gardiner, of Los Angeles. Capital stock, $250,000; amount subscribed, $200,-000. The installation of officers of Anaheim Lodge No. 207, F. & A. M., on Monday evening was the occasion of a very pleasant reunion of the brethren, and a most abundant supper was indulged in after the installation ceremonies. The following is a list of the officers installed: Theo. Reiser, Master; P. Davis, Senior Warden; F. R. Krebs, Junior Warden; W. M. Higgins, Treasurer; J. S. Gardiner, Secretary; W. M. McFadden, Senior Deacon; Frederick Hartung, Junior Deacon; William Crowther, Marshal; F. A. Korn and H. C. P. Wrede. Stewards; E. A. Pullen, Tyler. A house owned by Lionel Browning was moved on to the lot adjoining the old International Brewery property on Lemon street from his place in North Anaheim this week. That is what Anaheim needs and wants—more dwelling houses. Many vacant houses in the suburbs could be moved to town, and no time would elapse before renters would be on hand. P. Pellegrin has cut down the top of the cypress hedge on his place west of town into wood of four-foot lengths. Oak wood is being hauled into town daily from the canyons in the mountains. Willow wood is being hauled to Anaheim in small lots from the Gospel Swamp country. Wood cutters are hard at work getting in the winter supply of fuel. A newspaper item speaks of flowers blooming in sheltered places at Cape May during December. Here in Anaheim flowers are blooming vigorously in the most exposed places, and in the editorial garden that most tender and beautiful flower, the camelia, is flowering profusely. Mary Horstman, Committee on Taxation Committee on Public Health Committee on Pachard, Grimshaw Nellie Bancroft These committees noon to appoint some of the various detail press before a reply had. We can promise will be nothing less than sent from Los Angeles roasting of the oak occasion promises. Everybody have at the Anaheim 10:30 A.M. to come town, and give them among the vineyard. Following is a fair, up to yesterday. W. J. Smith—pounds from 40 adoptions. Mrs. E. R. Collins E. R. Barr—1 b stalk. H. Kroeger—1 Theo. Reiser—1 H. L. Patty—Co.

An Old-Fashioned Barbecue to be Given on Next Wednesday. After which there will be an Auction Sale of Town Lots. "Homes for all" is the motto of the Los Angeles Land Bureau, and in looking around the country to find a desirable place to furnish the homes they sought, they found Anaheim. As heretofore explained in these columns, this Bureau, together with a syndicate of Los Angeles capitalists, were so impressed with the advantages and beauty of this place that they at once invested large sums of money in land, and have set themselves systematically to work to bring Anaheim into prominence and make thousands of people happy by furnishing them with homes at reasonable prices. The advertisement on the first page of this paper gives an outline of part of their programme, and next Wednesday will see the inception of a series of excursions and sales which there is every reason to believe will work a wonderful transformation in this hitherto quiet village. The Bureau, however, cannot hope to achieve the full measure of success without the hearty co-operation of the people here, and we confidently expect that their assistance and labors will be freely given. THE ANAHEIM FAIR. The Bureau have secured Mott's Hall on Main street, opposite Child's Opera House, Los Angeles, in which to give an exhibition of the products of Anaheim on next Monday evening. Although this was decided upon only on Wednesday, yet despite the short time for preparation we think the display will be a creditable one, and will not only be a revelation to the Eastern stranger, but to the old resident as well. We find that there are people who have lived in this county for twenty years who have imbibed the idea that nothing is produced here but ANAHEIM. THE OLD COLONY RECEIVING A SHAKING UP. Some Reasons in brief why its Present Prosperity should Continue. A Favored Place Climatically, Socially and Otherwise. Anaheim is enjoying the boomingest kind of a boom. The most sanguine believers in its ultimate prosperity never imagined that it would experience such a shaking up. But from this time henceforth there is every reason to believe it will advance and prosper in a way that will soon place it on "top of the heap." That it has not reached that altitude long before this is not due to any frown of Nature, for surely there is no spot lying under the mild beams of the California sun for which Nature has done more than it has for Anaheim. In many ways this place is especially favored. To begin with, it has a climate peculiarly its own, and one which seems to mollify, if not to dissipate entirely, many of the ills which flesh is heir to. The few fevers that sometimes overtake careless people who unreasonably expose themselves or live in defiance of sanitary laws, are never of that virulent and fatal character which mark them in places of different climatic features. And not only does our climate exert its benign influence in warding off disease, but it possesses curative properties as well. The testimony of our medical men on this point is conclusive, and there are living here to-day large numbers of people who came here years ago in various stages of debility who have recuperated and become strong and well under the influence of the genial climate of Anaheim. In fertility, the soil of Anaheim is unsurpassed. Its wines have made it famous, and their excellence and abundance have somewhat eclipsed the fact that every other product of California is grown here equally as well. The itemized table of exports in another column proves this; the magnificent BIG BUSINESS. THE EXPORTS AND IMPORTS FOR THE ANAHEIM DEPOT. Corn, Wine and Oil Among the Products of Favored Anaheim. And Yet the Year 1886 was an "Off Year." The volume of business transacted at the Anaheim station in the face of the figures somewhat startling and gives solid evidence that for the area within the shipping limit of this town we lead all other places outside of Los Angeles city. The following summary of our freight movements, taken from the official records of the Southern Pacific company, for the past eleven months we give an idea of the quantity and diversity of our productions: EXPORTS FOR 1886. January— Poundage Wine 333,685 Brandy 40,400 Mdse 101,390 Total 475,445 February— Poundage Trees 21,500 Raisins 95 Wine 474,685 Live Stock 180,000 Oranges 158,140 Lumber 41,990 Honey 530 Mdse 483,300 Total 1,361,095 March— Poundage Trees 23,200 Raisins 22,480 Wine 552,040 Wool 12,180 Live Stock 140,000 Fruits 558,998 Lumber 22,500 Honey 3,360 Mdse 245,790 Total 1,580,540 April— Poundage Wine 405,570 Brandy 27,650 Wool 293,390 THE ANAHEIM FAIR. The Bureau have secured Mott's Hall on Main street, opposite Child's Opera House, Los Angeles, in which to give an exhibition of the products of Anaheim on next Monday evening. Although this was decided upon only on Wednesday, yet despite the short time for preparation we think the display will be a creditable one, and will not only be a revelation to the Eastern stranger, but to the old resident as well. We find that there are people who have lived in this county for twenty years who have imbibed the idea that nothing is produced here but wine, but they will be undeceived if they will visit Mott's Hall on next Monday evening. Short addresses will be made during the evening by speakers who will tell what they know about Anaheim. A PERMANENT EXHIBIT. An exhibit of the products of the soil is very much like an illustration in a newspaper—it gives a better knowledge of the idea sought to be conveyed than columns of letter text. It is not proposed, therefore, that Monday night's exhibition shall end that special branch of effort, but the display will be transferred to the commodious offices of the Bureau at 20 West First street, where the strangers must do congregate, and where it will be given the greatest prominence. The citizens who are interested in the prosperity of this section, and who desire that it shall secure its share of immigration, are invited to bring fresh fruit and produce from time to time to the Anaheim office of the Bureau, and its agent here, Mr. W. R. Matthews, will promptly forward it, and see that the proper credit is given to the public-spirited donors. MEETING OF CITIZENS. A hastily-called meeting of citizens was had on Wednesday afternoon to take steps to receive and entertain the guests next Wednesday. After some desultory discussion, the following committees were selected: Committee on Reception and Entertainment — Messrs. Keith, Ey, Haight, Ennis, Paty, James, Fee, W. T. Brown, Sorensen, Perry. Mesdames Butler, Landell, A. Rimpau, W. J. Smith, McDermont, L. Browning, Hart, Grimshaw, Scott, Morton, Keith, Melrose, Knapp, L. G. Kellogg, F. Ey, E. J. Pellegrin, H. C. Gade. Misses Rosa and Frances Schmidt, Katie Bremermann, Clara Schulte, Carrie Paty, Lillie Kellogg. Fannie Higgins, Mary Horstman, Ida Witte. Committee on Transportation — H. C. Gade and Alex. Davis. Committee on Music — Messrs. Knapp, Pachard, Grimshaw, Mrs. Schubert and Miss Nellie Bancroft. These committees met yesterday afternoon to appoint sub-committees to attend to the various details, but the Gazette went to press before a report of their action could be had. We can promise, however, that there will be nothing left undone for the entertainment of the visitors. A chef will be sent from Los Angeles to superintend the roasting of the ox, and this feature of the occasion promises to be "immense." Cabbages Again. It is not to be expected that a semi-tropic editor should know much about cabbages, and therefore we may be pardoned for getting the cabbage paragraph of last week a little mixed. The price guaranteed to Mr. Whitaker is $1 25 per hundred pounds. It's a small head of cabbage which does not weigh ten pounds in this glorious climate, but assuming that to be the average weight, the result will be 12½ cents per head, or $240 per acre. The well-known Peter Henderson, in his book "Gardening for Profit," gives the following table of expenditures and receipts of one acre near New York: EXPENDITURES. Labor ... $300 Horse labor ... 35 Manure, 75 tons ... 100 Rent ... 50 Seeds ... 10 Wear and tear of tools, etc ... 10 Cost of selling ... 100 Total ... $605 RECEIPTS. 12000 Early Cabbages, at 5¢ per head ... $600 14,000 Lettuce, at 1 cent per head ... 140 30,000 Celery, at 2 cents per head ... 600 Total ... $1340 Or a profit of $735. This is where every inch of ground is utilized and made to yield to its utmost capacity. But the selling Mary Horstman, Ida Witte. Committee on Transportation—H. C. Gade and Alex. Davis. Committee on Music—Messrs. Knapp, Pachard, Grimshaw, Mrs. Schubert and Miss Nellie Bancroft. These committees met yesterday afternoon to appoint sub-committees to attend to the various details, but the Gazette went to press before a report of their action could be had. We can promise, however, that there will be nothing left undone for the entertainment of the visitors. A chef will be sent from Los Angeles to superintend the roasting of the ox, and this feature of the occasion promises to be "immense." Everybody having a team is requested to be at the Anaheim depot on Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. to convey the excursionists to town, and give them a short drive around among the vineyards. Following is a list of contributions to the Fair, up to yesterday morning: W. J. Smith—Shelled barley, 70,000 pounds from 40 acres; corn, without irrigation. Mrs. E. R. Collins—1 box of oranges. E. R. Barr—1 box of lemons; corn on the stalk. H. Kroeger—1 case of port wine. Theo. Raiser—1 case of assorted wine. H. L. Paty—Corn on the cob; wheat. M. V. B. Lovering—1 bunch of peanuts. 2 beets; 2 turnips; 2 pumpkins. From Modjeska's ranch—2 boxes of oranges. M. Nebelung—Pampas plumes. Robt. Parker—Walnuts. J. Seeman—1 box walnuts. Austin Munger—Sack of potatoes. P. Hansen—Japanese persimmons; 1 cluster of oranges. W. Wolf—Box of peanuts. P. McDowell—Jelleys; 1 jar of pears; box of raisins; 1 box of peanuts. G. G. Greeley—1 case of wines; 1 box of oranges; 1 box of lemons. R. H. Gilman—3 boxes of oranges; 2 boxes of lemons; 1 box Japanese persimmons; date palms; 1 branch of Japanese persimmons; L. Browning—2 stalks of bananas. W. M. McFadden—1 case oranges. J. B. Tombes—1 cluster of oranges. Wm. Haddox—Cluster of assorted oranges. H. Werder—1 case assorted wines. S. Holman—Oranges, lemons, limes, potatoes and corn. T. Staley—6 boxes of raisins. B. Dreyfus & Co.—1 case assorted wines. T. A. Darling—2 palms. Mr. Blair—Clusters of oranges. Leonard Parker—1 box oranges. J. Winter—One jar fruit. A. McDermont—Licorice root. P. A. Korn—1 case wine. RECEIPTS. 12000 Early Cabbages, at 5c per head... $600 14,000 Lettuce, at 1 cent per head... 140 30,000 Celery, at 2 cents per head... 600 Total... $1340 Or a profit of $735. This is where every inch of ground is utilized and made to yield to its utmost capacity. But the selling price of 5 cents per head for cabbage is low because there is always more or less of a glut in the market when Eastern-raised cabbages are ready for plucking. Southern California can have its cabbages in the Eastern market in March, a couple of months ahead of the native product, and at that time of year the price ranges from 25 cents to 50 cents per head. A Misunderstanding Explained. We understand that some of our friends are laboring under the impression that we have rented our warehouse to a gang of Chinamen for orange packing. We take this manner of letting the people know the truth, as the instigator of this misunderstanding seemed to have had very little respect for it. We rented our warehouse to Edwin T. Earl for the purpose of packing oranges, he to take possession when Mr. Staley vacated, and there was nothing said about what class of help he should use. Furthermore there was not a single individual thrown out of employment by the transaction, as Mr. Earl has had his gang of packers in his employ for some time past, and simply transferred them from Pasadena to Anaheim. We are quite certain that we more fully realize that it is to our advantage and interest to have our warehouse filled with white packers, as we would thus gain considerable trade in the store. And we state furthermore that we, none of us, have ever given employment to a single Chinaman, which in itself is proof against the ignominious lies that have been put into circulation.
