WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...JANUARY 15, 1887. Kleinigkeiten. Items of News and Correspondence on all line 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 All communications must be signed by the author, not for publication but for the information of the editor. Gade, the truckman, has his office in the Land Bureau's building, where all orders may be left. A choice number of business lots on Center street are offered for sale by Melrose & Knapp on easy terms. A. V. Fox will sell a lot of household goods and furniture at auction this (Saturday) morning at 10 o'clock at his office. If this sort of weather keeps on, it will be in order to organize a Southern California Toboggan Club. The Anaheim Public Schools opened on Monday, January 10th, after the scholars had a vacation of two weeks. The trial of J. J. Bodkin, who killed Elam in Orange some time ago, is set for March 8th. W. S. Fish is preparing to build a house on the lot he purchased last week on Broadway. The statement of the Bank of Anaheim is the best made since the organization of that solid institution. W. W. Weaver has been employed by the Town Trustees to light the street lamps. He has also charge as janitor of the lodge rooms in Old Fellows' Hall. One illustration of the upward tendency of Anaheim property may be given. About three weeks ago Fred Rimpau sold his town lot for $1,000 to Mr. Hoffman. —A force of men are at work making sidewalks on Broadway, between Los Angeles and Olive streets, and two teams are busy at present grading Broadway at that point. It is proposed to grade Broadway and run the street through to the south of the depot, which will connect it with the one now running at that point, and from Olive street through the Loedke and Dreyfus vineyards to the eastern boundary of town. The fences on the Metz vineyard on Los Angeles street have been taken down and are to be replaced by a fine sidewalk. Extensive improvements are contemplated on this tract of land. Five cars on the Southern Pacific road left Los Angeles at 8:30 A.M. Wednesday containing 486 passengers to attend the auction sale of lots at Santa Ana. Ninety-one lots were sold. The highest price obtained was $330 and the lowest $135, and the average was $199.89, the total sales amounting to $18,005. Most of the lots were bought by Los Angeles men, John Bryson, Esq., of the Los Angeles National Bank, purchasing eleven lots at an average of $159 per lot. Some time ago Lewis & Waffle let a saddle horse to a customer, who disappeared with it, and the transaction was charged to profit and loss. On Tuesday the missing animal was led through town tied to a wagon, and was recognized as it passed the stable. The owners laid claim to him forthwith, and now they are congratulating themselves that only a saddle and bridle represent their loss. The man in whose possession the horse was found claimed to have bought it for $25. Orange Tribune: The latest in the bug-killing line is the paste project. A thin starch is made and sprayed over the trees and fruit. It soon dries, raises up and pulls the bug loose from his resting place, causing death in short order. It is thought by many to be the best bug remedy yet discovered, and it is so cheap and simple that everybody can use it. Paste the bugs. The old blacksmith shop on Lemon street, recently purchased by J. Benner-scheidt, is receiving a new foundation, the old timbers under the building having been removed. The withdrawal of sixty from this county by the city does not seem to weather for better or still conspicuous by its prevalence of clouds in talizing than promising as well for the tillers of their minds that this dry year, and govern themly. If it should turn out the disappointment with alarming amount of anguish like all dry seasons, usually cold one. This away down to 36° there was a thin coating ing water.

Coleman that half the orange crop destroyed by frost on Moorhede report is false. On M was a frost here that affected centage of the fruit in the settlement, but on Moorhede cold was of so short most of the orchards thrown within the past few wilted.

W. W. Weaver has been employed by the Town Trustees to light the street lamps. He has also charge as janitor of the lodge rooms in Old Fellows' Hall. One illustration of the upward tendency of Anaheim property may be given. About three weeks ago Fred Rumpan sold his town lot for $1,000 to Mr. Hoffman of Los Angeles, who sold it again on Tuesday for $1,400. A number of officers have been in town at different times during the week in search of Springer, the Colton murderer, for whom a reward of $1,000 is offered. They found him not. Major Ben. C. Truman is writing a series of articles on the wine and fruit industry for the New York Times. He will visit Anaheim in a few days to gather information for his letters. William Fischer has grubbed up the vines on his lot that he purchased last week in the Metz tract. Other parties who own lots in this vineyard contemplate clearing them and erecting dwellings thereon. In driving through the country one may see fields of grain, about an inch or two high, which looks green and fresh, and gives promise of maturing—that is, if it will only rain some more. Rain is what we want, and it is better late than never. The keeper of the Roma Hotel in Los Angeles, an Italian named Talice, was stabbed by his cook on Saturday, in revenge for having discharged him. Talice lingered until Tuesday afternoon, when he died. The murderer is in jail. The thousands who contemplate building new houses in Anaheim are referred to the card of Mr. Pelton, the architect, in another column. It is economy to employ an architect to prepare plans, and Mr. Pelton is one of the best in his line. Theo. Staley has received from the Land Bureau an acknowledgment for a box of oranges sent to them from his four-year-old trees. They say that it is difficult to make their visitors believe that such fine fruit was grown on such young trees. The Santa Monica Outlook has been born again. The veteran L. T. Fisher, its former publisher, and T. J. Spencer, are the proprietors. We bid our old friend cordial welcome to the journalistic field again, and wish the Outlook all success.

It is thought by many to be the best bug remedy yet discovered, and it is so cheap and simple that everybody can use it. Paste the bugs. The old blacksmith shop on Lemon street, recently purchased by J. Bennerscheidt, is receiving a new foundation, the old timbers under the building having become rotten. Mr. Stappenbeck is the carpenter who has the work in charge. The building will be used as a storeroom for Mr. Bennerscheidt's stock of tinware and hardware. The vineyards of A. Bittner, Claus Wilkens, F. A. Korn, H. Welmeyer, H. Werder and others have been surveyed into town lots by Surveyor Kellogg, and when the next excursion comes these tracts will probably be auctioned in the same manner as was the Metz vineyard. Edwin T. Earl; the orange packer and shipper, has purchased the greater part of the orange crop of this section. He also buys the fruit from parties having not more than one or two dozen trees. According to this, there must be a great demand for the fruit of this season. The most common varieties are also being packed and shipped. The Anaheim Minstrel Troupe is busy rehearsing the parts and making propagations for the entertainment to be given on Monday evening, January 24th. The favorite Jimmy Hodges will take part in the performance. A grand time is expected. "Fresno's exhibit of citrus fruit—Aid asked for the suffering Texans," is the heading over some telegraphic dispatches in the Express. Must we infer that the Texans have been eating some of Fresno's sour oranges? J. C. Stege proposes to discontinue the running of his covered meat wagon, as customers can order their meat at the shop and have it delivered. The wagon was a convenience to customers, as they could select any piece they desired at their own doors. The house moved into town by Lionel Browning is being fitted up for a dwelling by Mr. Perry, and a new roof has been put on the kitchen, and a brick chimney has also been built in the house. The Farmers' and Merchants' Bank have authorized Melrose & Knapp to sell at once their three remaining town lots on Vineyard C 3. This is a bargain for somebody.

On being permission, he is reported as in to the Elder's theories in vigorous and energetic style. By the way, he pleaded aggressive in this regard of the clergy of Los Angeles ears" on questions of theology. Strangers are appearing day. It delights them to talk about beautiful citrus fruit grown and orchards in and around Others are looking about them of town, evidently with making investments. What mostly is the fact that towns are purchased for than can be done in any other munity in the county.

Marshal Smythe has been enforcing the ordinance against leaving teams unhitched. There is another ordinance which ought to be rigidly enforced—the one making it unlawful to sweep litter and refuse into the public streets. Center street is disgracefully dirty sometimes. H. C. Gade has a team at work hauling asphaltum from the oil district north of Anaheim to the depot for shipment. While a loaded wagon of asphaltum was passing along on Center near West street on Monday, the front axle gave away under the weight, precipitating the front part of the wagon to the ground before the driver knew what had happened: J. K. Tuffree also has a team at work hauling asphaltum to the depot for shipment. It is used in Los Angeles for manufacturing pavings. A crowd of boys went out to Fairview district last Sunday afternoon to see the amateur nine of the Anaheim club play the Fairview nine. Not one of the members of the latter club put in an appearance, and the boys then chose a game among themselves, three members of the Westminster club taking part in the sport. The Westminster club offered to play the Anaheim nine, and if the challenge is accepted, the game will be played at the Fairview hall grounds shortly. The club that wins is to receive a bat and ball valued at $1.50 each from the defeated club. The house moved into town by Lionel Browning is being fitted up for a dwelling by Mr. Perry, and a new roof has been put on the kitchen, and a brick chimney has also been built in the house. The Farmers' and Merchants' Bank have authorized Melrose & Knapp to sell at once their three remaining town lots on Vineyard C 3. This is a bargain for somebody. The building of Langenberger's new brick block is retarded by the impossibility of getting the required timber in the county. It has been ordered from the mills, but will probably not get here for a month. The Anaheim Liederkranz held their first regular weekly session after the concert on last Monday evening in Kroeger's Hall, and occasionally meetings are also called on Saturday evenings. Hugo Wiesner has purchased the half interest of John McGarvin in the fishing business at Anaheim Landing, and will in connection with Charles Davis continue to make that summer resort popular. The yard in the rear of Postoffice Block is being stocked with a large winter supply of oak wood, which is being hauled to town daily from the mountains. The ties for the street railroad have arrived, and the rails will be here next week. The work of laying the track will be pushed with all possible haste. Three-year-old orange trees command $2 per tree this season. It takes considerable money to plant an orange grove at such prices. Two furnished rooms to let. Inquire at the postoffice.

Well, well, who would hit! Los Angeles is actually getting of Anaheim! A real estate city has been unbosoming his porter, and complains that the city real estate is becoming "chaotic" by reason of Anaheim booming towns adjacent to Los Angeles for manufacturing pavings. Herman Koster, who has a acres in the canyon above the oil planted gum trees on the hilltop sides. He says that it is astonishing what a rapid growth she trees have the elevations on which they are located. The lumber yard of Griffith ing stocked with the delayed lumber from Humboldt, where were bar bound. F. H. Keith is purchasing lots of oranges for the Santa Ana Packing Company, and is paying prices. The Weather. The withdrawal of signal service facilities from this county by the Department at Washington does not seem to have affected the weather for better or worse. The rain is still conspicuous by its absence, and the prevalence of clouds in the sky is more tantalizing than promising. It would be just as well for the tillers of the soil to make up their minds that this is going to be a very dry year, and govern themselves accordingly. If it should turn out to be a wet one, the disappointment will not occasion any alarming amount of anguish. Like all dry seasons, the present is an unusually cold one. The thermometer got away down to 36° the other morning, and there was a thin coating of ice on outstanding water. But no injury was done to the tenderest plants, and the orange trees show not the slightest trace of the cold. This happy condition of affairs does not prevail everywhere, more’s the pity. A dispatch from Riverside to W. T. Coleman & Co. on Monday said that half the orange crop of that famous place had been destroyed by frost, the thermometer registering as low as 21°. The truth of this dispatch, which was sent by Coleman & Co.’s Riverside agent, is denied in the following telegram: RIVESIDE, Jan. 10.—The fruit-growers and business men of Riverside are very indignant over the report given forth by the house of W. T. Coleman & Co. to the effect that half the orange crop of Riverside was destroyed by frost on Monday morning last. The report is false. On November last there was a frost here that affected a small percentage of the fruit in the lower portions of the settlement, but on Monday last the extreme cold was of so short duration that in most of the orchards the tender shoots grown within the past few weeks were not wilted. This cold snap did not do one-tenth the damage of the November frost. During the past few weeks since the last of December very many of the crops have been sold on the trees at high figures, being purchased by men who understood their business, and these prices would not have been paid for damaged fruit. Hon. A. P. Johnson states that not to exceed 2 percent of his fruit has been injured, and this is a fine sample orchard, and the crop of the entire valley will probably not exceed this estimate. These facts are given after careful interviews with leading orchardists and men who are posted. Elder Briggs, a Seventh Day Adventist, Railroad Matters Up to the present writing nothing new has been developed in regard to the railroad situation. There is nothing to indicate that any change has been made in the programme heretofore outlined. The work through the canyon is of necessarily slow progress, and it will be at least three months before the heavy work there is completed. The Anaheim committee on right of way intended to call a meeting of citizens to-day to report progress to them, but it was decided to defer the meeting until some information could be had from railroad headquarters. There is little doubt that the A., T. and S. F. corporation has purchased the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley road. This will leave but forty miles to be built from San Bernardino to enable the Santa Fe to go into Los Angeles on its own track, and the probabilities are that they will complete that bit of road within ninety days. As soon as it is done, it is probable the company’s energies will all be devoted towards the completion of the Anaheim-Oceanside road. Referring to this matter the Times of Thursday says: The Times is at last in a position to state authoritatively that the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad has actually been sold, and thus the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad—which seems to “get away with” its great rival in every contest—is the purchaser. The last piece of red tape may not have been tied, but the sale is a dead-sure thing. The consideration is not yet made public. The recent visit of C. W. Smith, first vice-president and general manager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, was known to be specially significant; and when he started back toward Topeka, last Saturday, he carried the whole thing in his pocket. The present eastern terminus of the San Gabriel Valley road is at the San Gabriel River, which is being bridged as rapidly as possible. Between this and the new San Bernardino and Los Angeles Railroad, which is now being rapidly pushed from San Bernardino, there is a gap of about 35 miles. It will not take long to close this gap with a strong force working at each end. It is promised that trains will be running from San Bernardino to this city over the new road inside of sixty days—inside of ninety days sure. It is probable that neither of the component parts of the new line will retain its present name. The vast system to which they belong will, as soon as possible, incorporate all its lines under one name—the Other Water Suit. The first action brought in the new U. S. Circuit Court which convened in Los Angeles on Monday, was entitled Hewitt vs Story et al. The complaint sets forth that Hewitt is a resident of New York and is the owner of certain lands in Bear Valley, San Bernardino county. Since the 10th day of March, 1869, this land has been watered by the Berry-Roberta irrigating ditch, taking 500 miner’s inches of water from the Santa Ana river; that at times the flow of water in the river at the point from which the ditch is taken is barely sufficient to supply the necessary 500 inches; that, by prior appropriations, the 500 inches of water belongs to complainant. It is charged that the defendants—there are some forty of them, including half a dozen water and fruit-packing companies—have been, and are, constructing two ditches, each capable of taking out 800 inches of water at a point on the river higher up than the head of the Berry-Roberta ditch, thereby endangering and destroying the right of prior appropriation of 500 inches of water acquired by the complainant at the time of his purchase of his land. Rowell therefore prays the court for a perpetual injunction against the construction of the ditches heading above the one built to irrigate his land. As will be seen, the application raises in the United States Court the old question of the right of prior appropriation of the water of a running stream, for irrigation purposes. Irrigation Measures Four bills on irrigation have been introduced in the Legislature. The most important one is introduced by Wright, (Democrat) which provides for the organization and government control of irrigation districts, and for the acquisition and distribution of water for irrigation purposes. It provides for the application of the law of eminent domain for the condemnation of the existing water rights, and is in entire harmony with the recent decision of the Supreme Court on the irrigation question. It also provides a system of elections and assessments, and collection of revenue necessary to carry out the provisions of the act. The other three bills were introduced by Elder Briggs, a Seventh-Day Adventist, is holding meetings every night at the Fairview school house. The routine services were varied the other night by a preacher of another denomination who asked permission to refute some of the statements made by Mr. Briggs. On being accorded that permission, he is reported as having pitched in to the Elder's theories in language more vigorous and energetic than courteous and polite. By the way, the preachers seem to be getting aggressive in this county. Several of the clergy of Los Angeles are "by the ears" on questions of theology. Strangers are appearing in town every day. It delights them to take drives among the beautiful citrus fruit groves, vineyards and orchards in and around Anaheim. Others are looking about the business part of town, evidently with the intention of making investments. What surprises them mostly is the fact that town lots or land by the acre can be purchased for much less here than can be done in any other stirring community in the county. On Thursday evening the team of John Turner, the Westminster mail carrier, started to run away on Clementina street, with only a little boy named Alfred Seale on the seat. The horses started up Center street on a brisk run, but the nervy little fellow put on the brake as best he could and held on to the lines with a death grasp. The horses were finally stopped at the postoffice, and neither was the boy hurt nor was any damage done to the wagon. Even in the rich soil of this county it says to use fertilizers, but it is essential that the fertilizers contain the qualities lacking in the soil. It is, therefore, with pleasure we note the fact that Keith and Langberger have secured just the thing needed by fruit-growers of this vicinity. A reference to their advertisement is mado, and we strongly advise that a test be given to the goods they offer. The sarcastic Express says: "There are nearly four million dollars on deposit in Los Angeles banks, and yet the ladies of the Benevolent Society are begging for a new old clothes and an easy chair for an unfortunate invalid who is on her death-bed. Meanwhile the 26 churches are in a flourishing condition, and some of them contemned." The present eastern terminus of the San Gabriel Valley road is at the San Gabriel River, which is being bridged as rapidly as possible. Between this and the new San Bernardino and Los Angeles Railroad, which is now being rapidly pushed from San Bernardino, there is a gap of about 35 miles. It will not take long to close this gap with a strong force working at each end. It is promised that trains will be running from San Bernardino to this city over the new road inside of sixty days—inside of ninety days sure. It is probable that neither of the component parts of the new line will retain its present name. The vast system to which they belong will, as soon as possible, incorporate all its lines under one name—The Chicago; Santa Fe and California Railroad. As our telegraphic dispatches have already set forth, it is now building its line to Chicago. So it goes on from success to success, by legitimate business enterprise and the keenest intellectual generalship to the position from which no rival will readily crowd it—the greatest and the best managed railway system in the world. Railroad items from the Herald: The new line via the Santa Ana canyon is being graded with "much dispatch," but no iron is laid on it yet. The S. P. Co. will undoubtedly build on to San Diego via San Juan Capistrano during the coming summer. This corporation will build a number of spurs into all parts of this valley with all possible dispatch. The first to be exploited will be from Snorb's switch to the Raymond Hotel. This it is reported will be pushed on via La Canada to San Fernando. The Los Angeles and La Ballona people have arranged with the A., T. & S.F. to iron that line and put rolling stock on it at an early day. Mr. Lewis is pushing the grading along rapidly toward the city. The La Ballona Harbor Company ordered a day or two ago 1,000,000 feet more timber for their works. Advices reached here yesterday that the gang of bridge builders will leave San Francisco to day to work on the harbor. Vessels carrying the stuff for this work are overdue and may arrive at any moment. San Bernardino Times: The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad system has obtained from the people of Orange depot grounds and a right of way from Burruel Point to Santiago creek. The citizens of Santa Ana have subscribed $15,000 toward depot grounds and right of way expenses from Santiago creek to the San Joaquin ranch. The town of Tustin will furnish depot grounds and right of way, which will bring the road to the San Joaquin ranch. The trustees of the San Joaquin ranch, it is stated, have granted a right of way to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe through the San Joaquin ranch. This gives them a right of way to Occaside, where they form a junction with the main line to San Diego. The surveying party which has been doing the finishing grades for the new road to Los Angeles were obliged to go to Etiwanda Sunday, being hard pushed by the graders, who are now about seven miles. The most difficult grading has been completed, and the work is now being pushed at the rate of a mile and a quarter a day. Benicia, January 11.-At a meeting of the Board of Trustees last night, a right of way through Benicia, for the Santa Rosa and Benicia Central Railway, was granted, and an election called for voting a subsidy of $10,000 for the road and an additional $5,000 if the company's shops are constructed at this place. It is understood that ground will be broken at this end in three weeks. A Building Association. One of many long-felt wants of Anaheim is an Association having for its object the building of dwelling houses for rent and sale. Such associations have ceased to be novelties, as they are in active and successful operation in nearly every stirring community in the county. In fact, they have been the greatest factors in the building up of the communities where operate, and no scheme yet broached for the good of Anaheim is as practical or promising as this. Architects and contractors stand ready, we are told, to furnish plans and build the houses, taking their pay in easy installments. It would require but little ready money to build a dozen houses; as they could be mortgaged as soon as completed for at least one-half of their cost. An effort will be made next week to start this project, and we earnestly ask the progressive people of Anaheim to be ready to take stock in an enterprise which will set going the sweet music of hammer and saw, and one which will at the same time build up the town and be profitable to the investors. Quite True. San Francisco Post. The street lamps of Anaheim have been recently lighted with gas. The trouble with most Southern California towns is that they grow so rapidly that, before any system of improvements can be adopted, the place is ready for something better. Villages in the south jump from darkness to electric lights with hardly a pause at the oil and gas stages. We trust that Anaheim will enjoy her new toy while she has it, and we are sure that she will not have time to get very tired of it before it is superseded by something still more metropolitan. The sarcastic Express says: "There are nearly four million dollars on deposit in Los Angeles banks, and yet the ladies of the Benevolent Society are begging for a new old clothes and an easy chair for an unfortunate invalid who is on her deathbed. Meanwhile the 26 churches are in a flourishing condition, and some of them contemplate great improvements." Well, well, who would have thought Los Angeles is actually getting jealous Anaheim! A real estate dealer of that city has been unbosoming his woes to a reiter, and complains that the market for real estate is becoming "harder" if not easier, by reason of Anaheim and other coming towns adjacent to Los Angeles. The pruning of vineyards has been mostly completed in this section. Many eyewardists differ in opinions as to which is the best month in which to prune vines. One favor early pruning, while there are others who defer the work until the latter part of January. Herman Koster, who has a claim of 320 acres in the canyon above the oil wells, has planted gum trees on the hilltops and hills. He says that it is astonishing to see at a rapid growth she trees have made at elevations on which they are planted. The lumber yard of Griffith & Co. is stocked with the delayed cargoes of timber from Humboldt, where the vessels are bar bound. F. H. Keith is purchasing large quantities of oranges for the Santa Ana Fruit Company, and is paying large fees. Benicia, January 11. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees last night, a right of way through Benicia, for the Santa Rosa and Benicia Central Railway, was granted, and an election called for voting a subsidy of $10,000 for the road and an additional $5,000 if the company's shops are constructed at this place. It is understood that ground will be broken at this end in three weeks. Personal Paragraphs. George L. Curtis, the railroad station and express agent at Durham, Butte county, is in Anaheim visiting his parents. Charles E. Taylor, a former resident of Anaheim, has been elected W. M. of the Masonic Lodge at Globe, Arizona. His wife is Associate Matron of the Eastern Star. Jim Mellus, Tom Brown of Los Angeles and Barth Shorb of San Gabriel are in town as the guests of F. J. J. Schmidt. This item will carry consternation into the docks of game when the presence of those crack shots becomes known. Mr. and Mrs. Rob Fletcher and Mrs. Gaylor of Los Angeles, were in town on Thursday. Mr. Fletcher is one of the purchasers of the Langenberger vineyard, and intends to make some substantial improvements immediately. George Horr of Sterling, Kansas, arrived in Anaheim last week on a visit to his sister, Mrs. Plez James. It required but a few days' experience of our glorious climate to make him declare his intention to become a citizen, and he is now permanently located as book-keeper in the First National Bank of Los Angeles.
