WEEKLY GAZETTE SATURDAY JANUARY 29, 1887 Kleinigkeiten. 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 All communications must be signed by the author, not for publication but for the information of the editor. The Bank of Anaheim building is getting a resplendent coat of paint. Extra copies of the Gazette can be purchased at the store of J. Helmsen. H. C. Gade has made another improvement on his place in building an addition to his ice and bottled beer storeroom. The usual afternoon services will be held in St. Michael's Episcopal Church tomorrow at three o'clock. William Pischer has given his residence on the corner of Lemon and First North streets a neat coat of paint. E. P. Hoyle, formerly of the Anaheim Ostrich Farm, has reached Galveston with 44 ostriches en route to Los Angeles. Mrs. Schubert has had a five-foot picket fence built partly around her residence. The cypress hedge on front was replaced by a three-foot section of fencing. In lighting the gas in the street lamps several nights ago, by accident, a too strong current of gas was turned on, resulting in the cracking of the glass casings on many of the lamps. Leonard Parker has sold his crop of oranges on his five-acre grove for $2,000, the purchaser to pick and pack the fruit. There is some profit in grazing oranges at there. The postal department of the government is working with splendid inefficiency. Mr. Vilas is without doubt the right man in the wrong place, and he has managed to get as subordinates the wrong men in the right place. One of the minor evils now prevailing in the Department is the criminal carelessness with which the stamp bureau is administered. It is impossible for country postmasters to get their supplies of stamps. The Anaheim postoffice has not had stamps for a month, except such as Postmaster Gardiner purchased in Los Angeles; and the other post offices throughout the county are in the same predicament. Before the rascals were turned out every requisition was promptly honored, but since the present rascals have been in, everything seems to be in chaos. On going to the stable for his team on Monday, I. P. Wilson found two toughs in the building overhauling a valise belonging to one of his employees. He came to town and acquainted Constable Smythe with the facts, and that officer arrested them and took them to the County Jail on Tuesday under a commitment issued by Justice Fox. There is a superfluity of such characters here now, but as they swarm wherever there is plenty and prosperity, we ought to be proud of their presence. A. Phillips, the popular excursion agent, was in town on Tuesday. He is about to publish an immense edition of a pamphlet for gratuitous circulation in the East, and wants Anaheim to have at least seven pages of descriptive matter in it. The necessary amount to secure this valuable advertisement has, we believe, been raised by subscription. The advertisement of the Phillips excursions will be found in another column. The performance of the Anaheim Minstrels on Monday evening was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience, who gave the boys enthusiastic encouragement. Some of the acts were exorbitantly funny, and the witticisms had afresh flavor which precluded the necessity of ringing the chestnut bell. Jimmy Hodges, Allison and John Landell. COMPILE The Rival Horns Railroad New Era The Anaheim Dome caterer It is probable Wednesday the C.A. and I.A.R.M., regarding the departure difficulties, apparent vent the acquisition was his first choice in a proposition to locate the depot every industry in from the gentlemen charge that his dept in a few days. The depot will be how important alongside the new road is to it. It is this glorious use of the Gazette to throw loudly crow. The situation at and somewhat rich Southern (we call it) the shortest of its a force of men at work through the Spurgeon Southern Pacific eastward, it must through the Spurgeon of its rival is unbearable. After grading throw grove, they withdrew leaving enough men "hold the fort." Wednesday also sent the scene of action, will be is difficult to present writing tha In lighting the gas in the street lamps several nights ago, by accident a too strong current of gas was turned on, resulting in the cracking of the glass casings on many of the lamps. Leonard Parker has sold his crop of oranges on his five-acre grove for $2,000, the purchaser to pick and pack the fruit. There is some profit in growing oranges at those rates. A large number of orange trees are being planted in this vicinity. Messrs. Rust, Wolf, Greeley and Woods are among the number who have been supplied with trees from Marshall Haight's nursery. Col. Sam. Koefer, a hotel-keeper of Monrovia, suceded on Sunday morning by shooting himself. He had been ill and dependent for a long time. Deceased was a man of considerable wealth. Col. James J. Ayres has assumed editorial management of the Daily Herald, Mr. Lynch retiring for a brief season of rest. Col. Ayres is one of the brightest journalists of the coast, and a sagacious and pleasing writer. The Cyclone Windmill, of which J. Beunerscheidt is agent, is rapidly coming into favor. During the past week he has put ones up in the cemetery, and one at the Ostrich Farm, and has a contract to put one up for Mr. Witte. Carloads of lumber have been arriving daily during this week and last at the yard of Griffith & Co., near the depot. The ships from the bar-bound ports up north are continually arriving at San Pedro, and building activity will soon be conspicuous again. An excellent quality of raisins have been made the past season by Thomas Dunn from grapes grown on his vineyard in Fairview district. He has not yet packed the crop, but the work will soon commence at the packing house of John Hunter in Orangethorpe district. The barber shop of Ey & Groat was broken into on Sunday night, and a number of the best razors and other tonsorial tools were taken by somebody who evidently belonged to the profession. A negro who had been in town several days, and who disappeared on Monday, is suspected to be the burglar. Mrs. Schendig, the wife of a German living in Downey, became insane, and her husband locked her in an outbuilding and kept her there for several months. White amount to secure this valuable advertisement has, we believe, been raised by subscription. The advertisement of the Phillips excursions will be found in another column. The performance of the Anaheim Minstrels on Monday evening was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience, who gave the boys enthusiastic encouragement. Some of the acts were excerpitatingly funny, and the witticisms had afresh flavor which precluded the necessity of ringing the chestnut bell. Jimmy Hodges, Allison and John Landell are a team who can amuse the most critical audience, and any future performance by them will be sure to draw a crowd. The Directors of the Grape Growers' Association have decided to hold a general convention of grape growers and wine makers in San Francisco, commencing on Monday, March 7th, and continuing four days. A. Erz of Anaheim has been appointed to solicit contributions in this county to assist in defraying the expenses of the convention, and to see that the county sends an exhibit of viticultural products. He will begin his canvass at once. The question of selling eggs by weight has long been agitated, but the old-fashioned plan of measuring them by the dozen still prevails. But the orange growers have got ahead of the egg raisers, in much as they now sell oranges by weight. Sixty-five pounds of oranges constitute a box, and this simple method of calculation saves a great deal of trouble and work. Edwin T. Earl has purchased the orange crops of R. H. Giiman, Joseph Jordan, L. Parker, Mrs. Strodthoff, G. Davis, Richard Spoerl, Dr. Hardin, D. W. U. Cowan and others. He will soon have completed the purchasing, picking, packing and shipping of the greater part of the orange crop of this section. If you want to see snakes, go to Billy Ree's saloon. He has a very large rattle-snake enclosed in a glass covered box, which was given to him by R. M. Mackey. It is said that the snake has not eaten anything for seven months, though often tempted with food. The postoffice is now lighted with gas, greatly to its appearance. It has been suggested that it would be a public convenience if the Town Trustees would place a street lamp in front of the postoffice, thus enabling the holders of outside boxes to get their mail at night without groping in the darkness. Still another instance of the great rise in valuys of Anaheim property is the case of Dr. Pleninger, who purchased the Saxton homestead of 55 acres about a month ago, paying $15,000. He yesterday received and refused a cash offer of $25,000 for the place. A force of men at work through the Spurge Southern Pacific eighth ward, it must through the Spurge of its rival is onbass After grading throw grove, they withdrew leaving enough men "hold the fort." The Wednesday also sent the scene of action, will be difficult to present writing than a little ahead. The foundation o fact that there is bad to San Diego, and strategy is being Southern have the actual possession of new yantage, their english fessional sagacity for hand. The Outario Land themselves up to be new road, and to withdraw from the down below Santa teams passed through noonday. The Times, which at facts, says: "A balloon too is to be side, Santa Ann and Most of the work is Ana canyon, where they rock work. The job really however, and to the canyon in March way, to be a common this road, many people come from River then strike down there without coming to this wrong. The Riversi Angeles Railroad will Ana canyon to Anahale street depot grounds to San Diego is a total northern terminus is above road in Thence the road will to San Juan Capistranoifornia Southern at thence over the California to San Diego." Santa Ana Standard mentions this week are not last. On Tuesday O was down again looking We learn that as usual people with a prospect soon as it gets every Mr. Perris suggested company would like south of Fourth street grounds, but would not case every requirement to grounds and right with Mr. Perris felt our people the work thirty days. The The barber shop of Ey & Groat was broken into on Sunday night, and a number of the best razors and other tonsoirial tools were taken by somebody who evidently belonged to the profession. A negro who had been in town several days, and who disappeared on Monday, is suspected to be the burglar. Mrs. Schendig, the wife of a German living in Downey, became usane, and her husband locked her in an outbuilding and kept her there for several months. When discovered on Monday the woman was much emaciated and very filthy. She was taken to Los Angeles and committed to the Asylum. Her husband is to be proceeded against for his cruel and inhuman treatment. The "heathen Chinee" and his tribe were celebrating their New Year on Saturday and three days following, and the display of fireworks caused a din that made some people think that a dynamite bomb had been thrown into their quarters. As late as Thursday morning the Celestials enjoyed themselves amid the popping of firecrackers. They evidently wanted to have their fan once more on the premises occupied by them for so many years, as they have been ordered to vacate the buildings shortly. A patent medicine concert wagon was in Anaheim on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and the company in charge gave our people some very excellent music and rendered many popular songs; also telling them what kind of medicine to use when ill. Three gentlemen were operated upon for deafness, and one of them is reported to have been benefited by the application of the alleged remedy to his ear. The Professor, before operating upon another gentleman, questioned the latter as to which ear was affected. He promptly asked one to lend him a watch to ascertain which was the diseased ear. This caused the large throng of people to shout and laugh vigorously, in consequence of the patient himself not knowing which ear was affected. The company left on Thursday morning. COMPLICATIONS. The Rival Corporations Lock Horns at Santa Ana. Railroad News Captured From Everywhere. The Anaheim Depot to be Definitely Located Next Week. It is probable that by next Tuesday or Wednesday the Chief Engineer of the R., S. A. and L. A. R. R. will give his ultimatum regarding the depot grounds in Anaheim. Difficulties, apparently insurmountable, prevent the acquisition of the location which was his first choice, and he is now considering a proposition which has been made to locate the depot on a site convenient to every industry in the town, and we learn from the gentlemen having the matter in charge that his decision will be made known in a few days. The question of where the depot will be, however, is one of very minor importance alongside of the fixed fact that the new road is to be built here forthwith. It is this glorious consummation that causes the Gazette to throw its hat high up in air, and loudly crow. The situation at Santa Ana is complicated and somewhat ridiculous. The California Southern (we call it that name because it is the shortest of its many designations) placed a force of men at work on Monday grading through the Spurgeon orange grove. If the Southern Pacific extends from Santa Ana southward, it must almost necessarily go through the Spurgeon tract, and the action of its rival is embarrassing, to say the least. After grading through the Spurgeon orange grove, they withdrew the most of their force, leaving enough men camped-on the tract to "hold the fort." The Southern Pacific on Wednesday also sent a force of graders to the scene of action. Just what the outcome will be is difficult to determine, but at the present writing the California Southern is An Unrecorded Map In searching the title to a tract of land in Anaheim Extension last week it was found that the map of the extension, to which reference is made in all deeds affecting land therein, has never been recorded. This is, or may become, a very serious matter, and should the map now in the County Clerk's office become lost, the result would be a costly confusion in the future. In the opinion as to the validity of a title in Anaheim Extension, a learned lawyer of Los Angeles says: "The map of Anaheim Extension made by Wm. Hamel in 1865, and attested by Alfred Robinson, Trustee, on which the identification and description of the premises depends, has never been recorded. It is essential to the completeness and security of the title to this as well as to all the lots covered by that map that it should be recorded." We have ascertained that the cost of recording the map will be $28 00. If those holding property in the extension will contribute a small sum each, the map can be recorded forthwith. Five dollars of the necessary amount has been deposited with Melrose & Knapp. It may be stated for general information that the extension is not within the incorporated town of Anaheim. Personal Paragraphs. Mr. Ward of the Orange Tribune was on our streets the other day, as debonair and jovial as usual. Mr. Ward is prosperous, and his paper is one of the brightest. George L. Curtis, who has been spending some weeks with his parents in Anaheim, left on last Sunday morning to take charge of the station again at Durham, Butte county. John and Charles Luedke, of the firm of Tim. Boege & Co., were in town during the week. Mr. Charles Luedke has returned to Arizona to wind up his business affairs in that territory, and his brother will remain here permanently. Daniel D. Rich, for some years the efficient clerk in Cahen's store, left on Monday for San Bernardino, where he will engage in business for himself. Dan has made many warm friends in Anaheim, who will regret to hear of his departure, and hope for his future prosperity.

If the Southern Pacific extends from Santa Ana southward, it almost necessarily go through the Spurgeon tract, and the action of its rival is embarrassing, to say the least. After grading through the Spurgeon orange grove, they withdrew the most of their force, leaving enough men camped-on the tract to "hold the fort." The Southern Pacific on Wednesday also sent a force of graders to the scene of action. Just what the outcome will be is difficult to determine, but at the present writing the California Southern is a little ahead. The foundation of this struggle lies in the fact that there is but one advantageous route to San Diego, and for its possession every strategy is being used. The California Southern have the advantage of being in actual possession of nearly all the colonies of yantage, their engineers having with professional agility foreseen the crisis now at hand. The Outario Land Company have also set themselves up to bar the progress of the new road, and the grading force was withdrawn from there on Tuesday, and sent down below Santa Ana. About fifty of the teams passed through Anaheim on Wednesday. The Times, which has facilities for getting at facts, says: "A great deal of brain and bullion, too, is to be expended on the River side, Santa Ana and Los Angeles Railroad. Most of the work is being done in the Santa Ana canyon, where there is a vast amount of rock work. The job is being done scientifically, however, and the road will get through the canyon in March. There seems by the way, to be a common misapprehension about this road, many people believing that it is to come from Riverside to Anaheim, and then strike down the coast to San Diego, without coming to this city. This is totally wrong. The Riverside, Santa Ana and Los Angeles Railroad will come via the Santa Ana canyon to Anaheim direct to the First-street depot grounds in this city. The line to San Diego is a totally different affair. Its northern terminus is at a junction with the above road in the vicinity of Anaheim. Thence the road will run southeastwardly to San Juan Capistrano and strike the California Southern at Oceanside, running thence over the California Southern's track to San Diego." Santa Ana Standard: Railroad developments this week are no more startling than last. On Tuesday Chief Engineer Perris was down again looking over the situation. We learn that as usual he encouraged our people with a prospect of the new road, as soon as it gets everything granted it asks, Mr. Perris suggested while here that the company would like to build their depot south of Fourth street on Mr. Spurgeon's grounds, but would not insist upon that. In case every requirement of the company as to grounds and right of way is complied with, Mr. Perris felt that he could assure our people the work would begin within thirty days. The people are making strenght some weeks with his parents in Anaheim, left on last Sunday morning to take charge of the station again at Durham, Butte county. John and Charles Luedke, of the firm of Tim. Boege & Co., were in town during the week. Mr. Charles Luedke has returned to Arizona to wind up his business affairs in that territory, and his brother will remain here permanently. Daniel D. Rich, for some years the efficient clerk in Cahen's store, left on Monday for San Bernardino, where he will engage in business for himself. Dan has made many warm friends in Anaheim, who will regret to hear of his departure, and hope for his future prosperity. Major Ben. C. Truman, chief of the Literary Bureau of the Southern Pacific, was in town on Monday as the guest of Mr. Melrose. His forthcoming series of articles on California and its wine industry, to be published in the New York Times, will be of immense value to this country. A Professional Opinion Ex Survior General Shanklin arrived here on Monday, and will remain on his ranch for a time. He has given the ditch a thorough inspection at the points where the railroad company has been at work, and is more than satisfied with the action of the Directors in giving the railroad company the privilege of straightening and strengthening the ditch without expense to the water company. As before the new dam, his opinion is that it is built at the right place and in the right way, and that had the water company undertaken to make the improvements which are being gratuitously made for them, it would hate cost the stockholders $10,060. The Street Car Line The rails for the street car line arrived on Tuesday, and have been distributed along the street. All the ties are not here yet, but are daily expected. When they arrive, the work of construction will begin immediately. One of the cars is ready for service, and is now stored in Mr. Yaeger's yard. The first payment of one-third of the stock subscribed is now due and payable to the Secretary at his office in postoffice building. Excursion Postponed. The excursion which was to have come from Los Angeles to day has been postponed until February 3rd, because of the impossibility of completing the survey of the lots to be sold. The farmers of this vicinity are earnestly urged to be present at the depot at 10 o'clock on next Thursday with their teams, to bring the excursionists to town. It will be a big excursion, and there cannot be too many teams present. Free Seed. The Gazette has received a quantity of valuable seed from the Agricultural Department at Washington, through the kindness of some weeks with his parents in Anaheim, left on last Sunday morning to take charge of the station again at Durham, Butte county.
