WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY...JANUARY 29, 1887. SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. POSTPONING A REMEDY. The irrigation bill introduced in the Assembly by Mr. Brierly is not responsive to the situation. It solves no problem, grants no relief, untangles no complication, defines no rights, but merely postpones the day of reckoning and furnishes an expensive commission to investigate a subject which has already been very thoroughly investigated, and report recommendations, though there are already so many recommendations made by competent men that the law-makers are confused and flustered by their number and diversity. By common consent the present State Engineer is conceded to be at the top of his profession; he has brought to his aid engineers like Mr. Schuyler, who are thoroughly "up" in all matters pertaining to irrigation; and for five years or more this learned commission (for so it may be called) have been gathering just the information which Mr. Brierly's proposed commission is expected to collate, and without doubt they have prepared their information in much better shape than the proposed commission would do. And the State Engineer has suggested in his numerous reports various methods of settling the water question, and has argued the question so exhaustively that there is really nothing for a commission to do. On the whole, we think that Mr. Brierly's bill is singularly inapposus, and while not doubting the author's good intentions, yet we believe the effect of the bill, if adopted, would be far from beneficial. "The Legislature ought either to do something or nothing. It ought to leave the irrigation question severely alone, and let each district work out its own salvation, or it ought to enact some law, which if found impracticable, can be repealed or amended." THE TARIFF ON RAISINS. The effort to reduce the tariff on raisins is fraught with great interest to the people of Southern California especially, and it is gratifying to know that our congressional representatives are alive to the situation. The head of the dried fruit department of W.T. Coleman & Co. speaks as follows concerning the effect of a reduction of the tariff: "The people on this coast very much question whether Spain is in a nuanced condition to buy very much of our high-graced productions and manufactures when she has Birmingham and Manchester, Belgium, Germany and France at arm's reach. To lower the duty on high-costing Spanish-London layer raisins, which do not compare in any way with the Zante currant, is, in our opinion, injudicious. Spain's only competitor in the raising industry is California." She (Spain) has never discovered that her raisin duty is too high until California commenced competing with her and demonstrated that she could produce better raisins. If there is an industry that is deserving of protection it is this one. It is essentially a 'farmers' and growers' industry. Under the present protection system of this Government, the tiller of the soil and the producer have been the ones to complain loudest that the iron manufacturer, the textile manufacturer and the other large interests are the only ones protected. Here a chance is afforded to protect the manufacturer and the tiller, and to protect his interests and industries. We are opposed to this reduction or equalization in the interest of California; not for our individual interests, for they would not suffer, because if the duty is taken off or equalized the grower will sell us his raisins at 20 cents a box less. It is in the interest of this State that we have initiated this protest. The State is not yet aroused to the importance of the industry and its immense future magnitude. Within five years Spain will be practically 'knocked out of the market,' and that without many more vineyards being planted here either. To show you the increase in yield of our vineyards, I will only instance the case of one of our clients, Colonel William Forsyth of Fresno, whose vineyard of 140 acres produced, in 1885, being young, 2,000 boxes of raisins. In 1886 the yield, which has just been marketed, amounted to over 17,000 boxes; and next year's will probably be 25,000. This industry is one particularly suited and adapted to women, and is imperiled by the proposed equalization of duty. Secretary Bayard holds out an elusive hope—honestly, no doubt—that the reciprocity to be afforded by export trade with Spain can be much encouraged and increased by this reduction of LATEST An Englishman has been operating women in New Orleana German and other ocean commerce in prosperity of Liverpool.

The interstate commerce bill having been passed by Congress despite the opposition of the railroad corporations, it is fitting that the commissioners provided for in the bill should be men who have never been accused of the "crime" of being railroad men. The report that John F. Swift, who was the Republican candidate for Governor of this State at the election in November, is to be one of the commissioners, is highly gratifying. During the acrimonious campaign referred to Mr. Swift was accused of almost everything wrong and despicable, but the charge of being a corporation creature was not among the category of his sins. He is an able, honest and conscientious man who will find the merits of the bill if there is any merit in it. A PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND paper relates an incident showing the power of imagination. While a woodchopper was at work the axe glanced from a tree and went deep into his boot. Nearly fainting, he dropped his axe and started humping for home. His wife discovered him with much difficulty dragging himself along. She abruptly ran to his assistance and got him into the house, when the large red mark in his boot proved too much for his nerves. His wife was obliged to get his boot off alone, as best she could. Expecting to find a fearful wound she was happily surprised to see that what both had imagined to be blood was only red flannel—which he had put on in lieu of socks, while his only pair were being washed and dried—protruding from his boot. A singular incident happened at Indiana, Pa., a few days since. A former widow and widower, who had been married a few weeks, came to town. The husband went to look after some business affairs while his wife proceeded to do some shopping. Remembering that she had not yet paid the undertaker for services at her late husband's funeral she called upon him and paid the bill. The business had scarcely been concluded when the husband put in an appearance and proceeded to pay the undertaker for services at his late wife's funeral. They were mutually surprised. The bill appropriating $150,000 for a public building in Los Angeles has passed the United States Senate, and will undoubtedly practically knocked out of the market, and that without many more vineyards being planted here either. To show you the increase in yield of our vineyards, I will only instance the case of one of our clients, Colonel William Forsthef of Fresno, whose vineyard of 140 acres produced, in 1885, being very young, 2,000 boxes of raisins. In 1886 the yield, which has just been marketed, amounted to over 17,000 boxes; and next year's will probably be 25,000. This industry is one particularly suited and adapted to women, and is imperiled by the proposed equalization of duty. Secretary Bayard holds out an elusive hope—honestly, no doubt—that the reciprocity to be afforded by export trade with Spain can be much encouraged and increased by this reduction of duty. I call attention to the fact that when the duty on Rio coffee was taken off, in hopes of doing something with Brazil, it did not lower the price at all to consumers in the United States. On the contrary, the growers of Brazil were benefited so much that, if I am not mistaken, the Brazilian Government levied an export tax equivalent to our reduction; and we sold our sole remaining American steamship line, which is now struggling without any subsidy, endeavoring to get full cargo loads of export merchandise on outward trips to Rio. You ask me what the probable injury will be to this State if the tariff is equalized? I say the injury to this State for 1886 will probably be $200,000; in 1888, $300,000; in 1889, between $500,000 and $600,000; and then on from $750,000 to $1,000,000 per annum." Abolishing Fruit and Vine Pests. Senator Rose himself an extensive vineyardist and horticulturist, has introduced a bill to prevent the spreading of fruit tree and vine pests, which enacts that all fruit trees and vines liable to be infested shall be disinfected on or before the 1st April in each year, and failure to comply with this provision shall make the officer punishable for a misdemeanor. Upon complaint being made against any horticulturist or vineyardist, it is made the duty of the District Attorney to prosecute. The sale of trees or cuttings infested with insects or disease is made a misdemeanor, and the offering for sale of any trees, except when accompanied by a certificate from a member of the State Board of Horticulture, is punishable in the same manner. Disinfection is required to be done to the satisfaction of the local Inspector of the State Board, and a stamp of purity is provided for. Falsifying the stamp and shipping trees or vines without a certificate are also made punishable by fine or imprisonment. Power is conferred on Boards of Supervisors to appoint Commissioners, whose duty it shall be after examination to destroy diseased and infested orchards and vineyards, or to condemn nurseries, store-houses, etc., liable to spread fruit-tree pests and diseases. Board of Supervisors. MONDAY, January 24th. Supervisor Venable was authorized to immediately contract for making necessary maps for the use of the County Assessor.

Chicago, January 25.—A New York correspondent of Bonfort's Wine and Spirit Circular says: "What is necessary for the success and reputation of California wines is that production shall be increased so largely that a sufficient stock of wines shall be produced, held and aged, so as to prevent a recurrence of the trouble of 1886. Whenever the production of California wines reaches 40,000,000 gallons, and continues there for five to eight years, then can very excellent wines be had at reasonable prices, and the goods will obtain an excellent reputation."

Sacramento, January 24.—Brierly introduced a bill in the Assembly to-day to create an irrigation, drainage and water right legislative commission, to be composed of five members, which shall exist for two years. They are to be appointed by the Governor, and shall be men of high repute and attainments, who are not directly interested in irrigation or water rights properties, and who shall each receive $5,000 and traveling expenses for his services. The duties of the committee are to inquire into subjects of irrigation, water rights, etc.; to frame and complete a code of laws with respect to that subject; to recommend a course of legislation to the Legislature of 1889; to attend upon the Legislature and explain the subject and facilitate the passage of needed laws, and at the close of their term to make a full report to the Governor. They shall thoroughly familiarize themselves with data in the State Engineer's office; examine the field through the State in the light of this data; take and record testimony; receive statements; hear arguments and explanations from persons locally interested in the subject; hold open meetings in the chief towns of each irrigation county and elsewhere if necessary, and if expedient, collect or cause to be collected such additional data as may be necessary and wise; examine and study existing laws and decisions bearing on irrigation in California and other States and countries; draft a system of laws for the preservation of our streams and the use and diversion of water therefrom, and matters pertaining thereto; point out how private rights in natural water courses, such as may be recognized and insisted upon by the Supreme Court, may be most readily set aside or extinguished for the benefit of irrigation by process of law, and make public reports of their proceedings from time to time to the Governor. The Commission is authorized to appoint a Secretary at $2,000 a year. The State Engineer is to assist the Commission in its work. It shall report to the Governor before October, 1888, the outline of its propositions for legislation, which shall be published and distributed. During November and December following, it shall hold open meetings in its office to hear arguments and propositions. An appropriation of $50,000 is made for its work. A Bargain in Land.

There is a tract of 140 acres of land about one mile and a half southwest of Anaheim to which the attention of home-seekers or spectators is earnestly directed. This land, known as the really tract, is offered at the low price of $100 per-acre, and will be sold either as a whole, or insubdivisions, and on very easy terms. The land is rich, is naturally moist, and large crops have been raised years in succession without irrigation. On a well now on the premises water is within fourteen feet of the surface, proving conclusively that trees and vines would require no artificial water to promote their growth. On the contiguous land owned by H. D. Pollieus is as thirty a vineyard as there is in the county; but which irrigating water has never run, and the adjoining vineyard of H.Werder which cannot be surpassed, has never been irrigated. These facts bear out the claims here made regarding the non-necessity of irrigation on this tract; and we repeat that her merits of this offer is worthy of investigation by all who desire to invest in real estate.

Clayton, Secretary of the National Viticultural Association, says that the recent dispatch to the Sunday Tribune concerning the resignation of C. A. Wetmore from the California Viticultural Commission does that gentleman an injustice, and declares that his place cannot be filled, as those who have by their misrepresentations and abuse driven him in sheer disgust into resigning, will find out to their cost and deep regret. Clayton declares that the bills introduced in Congress last winter are only opposed by those engaged in one way or another in making or handling artificial-stretcher or otherwise bedeviled wines and brandies. He adds: "Wetmore represents the brains and decency of the California wine interests, and his withdrawal from the commission is nothing short of a calamity. Those who are snarling at his heels are either wine stretchers or fabricators or possibly a set of tight-fisted, hide-bound farmers, who know no better than to blame him because they cannot get $100 a ton for their grapes and $1 a gallon for their wine."
