WEEKLY GAZETTE THURSDAY JUNE 16, 1887 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. GOVERNOR BARTLETT is sick with rheumatism, gout, lumbago, malaria and kidney troubles—a combination which would probably knock out even a younger man. And yet he has only been exposed to the climate of Sacramento for about six months. THEY had quite a circus up North on Sunday. A bad storm at Tehama; Arbuckle, Williams (Colusa county), Chico, Anburn and various other localities, accompanied by a gale of wind and considerable rain, played havoc with the grain, which is badly lodged. A SAN BERNARDINO man has recovered $1500 from the Riverside Water Company for damages received by being thrown from a buggy while crossing an open ditch belonging to the company. Is there not danger of our local water company being mutated in damages for some similar mishap? THE Washington Capital publishes the following: The President is said to have promised Adjutant-General Johnston Jones, of North Carolina, during his recent visit to this city, that all flags taken from the Southern States during the late war should be returned to those States at an early date. This resolve on the part of the President is mainly due to the instrumentality of Adjutant General Drion, a thoroughly national man, who wishes to withdraw from public gaze all moments of internecine strife. THAT is a curious affliction under which the people of Trenton, Missouri, are smarting. The dispatches say that town and vicinity has been infested during the past week by an insect, a description of which agrees fully with a species of cantharidia, or Spanish fly, as given in the United States Dispatchers. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA is the largest city in the world. It extends from San Diego on theouth to Ventura on the north and from San Pedro on the west to the summit of Mount of San Bernardino on the east, it takes in a number of adjoining counties and a portion of the Republic of Mexico for suburbs and covers an unlimited number of square miles in area, with all the outside world for further expansion if needed. "No pent-up Utica, confines its powers" and its growth depends wholly upon population. The principal thing raised on the land is the price, and this increases so rapidly that it does not pay to waste time with anything else, even oranges and rains cannot compete in point of profit with raising prices. The theory advanced by Malbus was that the tendency of population was to increase in geometrical ratio, while the products of the soil increased only in arithmetical ratio, but the reverse is true here, for the increase of our land is in geometrical ratio and the increase of population for arithmetical ratio. In Pasadena, one of the subdivisions of this great city, real estate is sold by the pound, and a committee of citizens stops every vehicle in leaving the town to brush the dust off the wheels because it is too valuable to be carried away. Property holders in some places have lost thousands by the shrinkage caused by a north wind. One of the great appurtenances to the land here is the climate, and there is probably more of that to the square foot than in any other place in the world, the weather is perfect, and if any objection is raised to its quality then the objectionable weather is very unusual. The inhabitants have but one form of religion, a belief in the future of the country, and that Paradise was originally located here, that it is now Paradise regained, and it is rank noxious to deny this article of faith, punishable with ostracism and adjunctominal death. It is a pretty good sort of a country, too, or its inhabitants would not love it so well, believe so firmly in it nor would it grow so rapidly as it has.—Sus Bernardino Times. A MODERATE LOT ABOVE The bowered old town in the tracery of its oval trunks of the vineyards, in the center of its old settlers, or pioneers, landed on at work building a resting place and cemetery of wildness countless thousands to what has come to favored country on earth. A few days ago a paper undertook a ten or twelve years tween the towns having hicle or on the hurrythe visitor now has road train, remain one of the upholster coach for an hour on a bright and busy terer of old Anaheim its Dutch roof has gone forward; a fine hotelator, and even now pans an Anaheim caravan hotel south of Los Angeles matter of appointment. It was twilight when abgited at Anaheim shaded by the west. The town looked chap paper map, who had by Mr. John Landel Bureau drove about But little space can tailed account of the boovered faultlessly what is bound to b town in the county homes, prosperous each street; in fact fort and prosperity place. A drive out about This resolve on the part of the President is mainly due to the instrumentality of Adjutant General Driven, a thoroughly national man, who wishes to withdraw from public gaze all momentous internecine strife. That is a curious affliction under which the people of Trenton, Missouri, are smarting. The dispatches say that town and vicinity have been infested during the past week by an insect, a description of which agrees fully with a species of cantharidia, or Spainish fly, as given in the United States Dispensatory. The insects come in perfect awarms, and they not only devour vegetation with avidity, but their vesicating power on the human body is equal fully to that of the cantharidia. Fully a thousand people in Trenton are at present nursing blisters caused by this insect, and lights in residences at night have been almost abandoned for fear of attracting the poisonous insects. The people of Redlands and Laguna, who will, of course, be directly benefited by the Valley Railroad, and whose hopes were dampened by its stagnage in San Bernardino owing to the difficulty about the right of way from Taint street out, consequent upon the great price demanded for right of way, have made up a pledge to repay the railroad any extra cost it may be to them to build the road. This action on the part of Redlands and Laguna will probably settle the matter, and the Valley road will now be pushed ahead to completion within a few weeks, probably before the first of October trains will be running between San Bernardino and the eastern end of the valley. The St. Helena Star says: It's an open secret that offers have lately been made of 13 cents a gallon net for 1886 wines, and it is also well known that few, if any, of our growers will sell at such a low price. Prominent winemen are a unit in advising all manufacturers who can to hold onto their wines, either for better prices or for market as two-year-old vines. They say that small winemakers who have not the room to hold two years' vintage in cellar, might better hold their present wine over and sell their grapes at even lower prices than to dispose of their present stock for the purpose of making up the new crop for an uncertain market. It is well known that two year old wine, even of a medium quality, sells readily at 25 to 30 cents per gallon; and it will not take much figuring to show the careful producer that he can make more money by holding his wine over, even if he has to sell his grapes, than he can be any other course. It is evident to all that the present state of the market is due to a combination among a few of the large buyers, and it is now down to a question who can hold out the longer, San Francisco wholesalers or the country producers. It is evident that the dealers must soon have to replenish their fast depleting stocks. The intention of President Cleveland to review the Grand Army at St. Louis is meeting with considerable opposition, and many of the Grand Army Posts are letting their anger get the better of their judgment and good taste. Cleveland's action on the pension bills was not such as to commend him to the veterans, but still he is President of the United States, and as such is entitled to respectful and loyal treatment. The Posts at Des Moines, Iowa, voice the sentiment of many Grand Army men in the following resolution: Resolved That if Grover Cleveland and his friends insist on using the prestige of the Grand Army of the Republic to obtain an audience, that he send a substitute, and if possible the person who represented him in the army during the war. While we respect the office he fills, we must still be allowed to say that we have no kind feelings for its present soldier-hating occupant. Tribute to Anaheim The Los Angeles Herald is doing good work for Anaheim, scarcely a week passing without a complimentary notice of "The Mother Colony." In its issue of Tuesday, a writer, describing the country from Fulton Wells southward, says: Anaheim is as near as possible in the center of this fine expanse of territory. From this point, as the spokes of a wheel, radiate contours toward the sea at Long Beach, twenty miles away, to Anaheim Landing, fifteen miles from the town, and to Newport, farther south along the shore. In that sweep of country his places like Artesia, Garden Grove and Westminster, with their broad alfalfa, corn, grain and fruit lands, nourished by overflowing wells on soils of surpassing richness. Many places of rare attraction must be passed over in a brief sketch like this. North of Anaheim is the proposed town of Fullerton, the great Shanklin ranch about to be put on the market in subdivisions, and Yorba, running far up the Santa Ana canyon. These places present scenery, climate and soil second to no part of the county. They will soon teem with business of varied character and with a population of dense proportions. As indications of what may be expected, one has but to spend a few days at any point in the valley. Take Anaheim for example. There is not a day but the hotel is filled with strangers in this quiet Old Mother Colony. The Planters is too small for the traff. The town looked chap paper map, who had by Mr. John Landeel Bureau drove about But little space can tailed account of the boovered faintlessly what is bound to be town in the county homes, prosperous each street; in fact fort and prosperity place. A drive out about wine-makers was in homes of the Schneider old Cowan nonestate place and others were and after a splendid dell, the home of the man, a drive was there prairies owned by them which, it is under placed in Mr. Landeel it is almost needless converted into magic orchards. A conversation had cerning the growth of some startling facts. Resided in the Parent it is accredited the best it and its lands in the can boast a population the town alone of about 700 a year throughout this section value from thirty to so latter approximation town property and joining the town's bus that sold for $75 and $ are quickly gobbled for from $250 to $1000. "Yes," he continued the greatest real estate ever known, if holders can't blame them. It a poor land holder in has lived here five yeas fact that in their home wealth is sure go toll won't sell out; even Our big boom will com pany markets about 30 here. We can offer ther adaptability of this sec anything that grows in on the farms you have. "Good properties are and more will be in this "Over 3,000,000 g which Anaheim is famous cellars of its vintners tiller can wait for high is rich and can afford i MEN are never satisfied, says the Los Angeles East-Side Champion. In the East, men who sit by there big coal fires while the snow is a foot deep outside, read of countries where there is no snow, where perpetual summer reigns, and they long to be there. After a time they go there, but still they are not happy. The sun does shine, fruits and flowers are abundant, everything is smiling, but the man's face is beclouded. He is homesick. He recalls the old hills, the familiar trees, the well-known streets and the old faces. The sky is different, the ground is different, the trees are different, the people are not the same, and the man is melancholy and the woman cries by the half day as she sits in the beautiful sunlight and thinks that her old home with its familiar scenes is two thousands miles away. The hillsides of California have been irrigated by enough tears to raise the biggest kind of a crop. Why do these people at times want to go back? Ask the woman who cries, and she'll tell you "because." Does she want the mud of Kentucky or Indiana and the cold of New York or the blizzard and lightning of Kansas? No. What's the matter then? "Because." But go back there, if you dare. It would be the bitterest disappointment of your life to see that the place you have remembered so fondly is a poor, wretched place. Old men who have lived in the West for a quarter of a century tell us that when they visited their old home they were sorry they had done so—the picture they had had in their minds was completely destroyed. No. If you are a Californian, you've got the finest country in the world. If men cannot be happy and brave here, they cannot be so anywhere. Why should a woman shed tears in sight of the Sierra, with every fruit and flower about her, and the ocean breeze wafting health and comfort? Fullerton, the great Shanklin ranch about to be put on the market in subdivisions, and Yorba, running far up the Santa Ana canyon. These places present scenery, climate and soil second to no part of the county. They will soon teem with business of varied character and with a population of dense proportions. As indications of what may be expected, one has but to spend a few days at any point in the valley. Take Anaheim for example. There is not a day but the hotel is filled with strangers in this quiet old Mother Colony. The Planters is too small for the traffic, and now measures are being taken to secure a larger hotel. The citizens propose to guarantee 8 per cent per annum to any one who will put up a hotel to cost $40,000. Mr. H. Deutsch offers eight fine lots affording frontage on three streets as follows: One hundred and eighty feet on Lemon, 323 feet on Esplanade and 180 feet on Clementina, in all about 2 acres in the very center of the town, to any one who will build the hotel. This combined offer of land and guarantee of income seems to make a very solid proposition to some man of enterprise. In all matters progress is noted. The water company is changing its laws, so as to make their operation more liberal. Lamps have just been put on all the principal streets to light them at night. Landis which a few months ago could have been had for less money are changing hands rapidly at $150 to $200 for those unimproved while improved places are salable at $350 and $400 per acre. Vineyards that yield five to eight tons of grapes are well worth the highest sum named. Saturday eighteen acres on the corner of Center street and West street in Anaheim were sold at $6250, the present owner to get the crop of grapes now on the vines. This is worth at least $1000, so that the place brings what is equal to $7200. The Age of Birds. The following table is from an English source, and claims to be measurably correct as to the length of life of the birds mentioned: Blackbird, 12 years; blackcap, 15 years; canary, 24; crane, 24; crow, 100; eagle, 100; fowl, common, 10; goldfinch, 15; goose, 50; heron, 59; lark, 13; linnet, 24; nightingale, 18; parrot, 60; partridge, 15; peacock, 24; pelican, 50; pheasant, 15; pigeon, 20; raven, 100; robin, 12; skylark, 30; sparrow hawk, 40; swan, 100; thrush, 10; wren, 3. St. Louis Globe-Demoerat. A MODERN CANAAM. Lot Angeles Express. The history of the flora-embowered old town reads like a romance. In the tracery of its old buildings, in the knotted trunks of the vines, in the flourishing vineyards, in the characteristics and being of its old settlers, one sees vistas of hardy pioneers, landed on a seemingly barren shore at work building a community, founding a resting place and cutting through the wilderness of wildness a swath through which countless thousands should wend their way to what has come to be designated the most favored country on God's footstool—mother earth. A few days ago a representative of this paper undertook a trip to Anaheim. Where ten or twelve years ago the distance between the towns had to be traversed in vehicle or on the hurricane deck of the broncho the visitor now has but to step aboard a railroad train, remain comfortably ensconced in one of the upholstered seats of a passenger coach for an hour or two, and then alight at a bright and busy little depot near the center of old Anaheim. The old tavern with its Dutch roof has given way to the cry of forward; a fine hotel accommodates the visitor, and even now plans are under way for an Anaheim caravansary that will rival any hotel south of Los Angeles in size and in the matter of appointment. It was twilight when the Express attache abged at Anaheim. The sun was being shaded by the western low range of hills. The town looked charming, and the news paper map, who had been met at the depot by Mr. John Landell, of the Anaheim-Land Bureau, drove about the place in a carriage. But little space can be here devoted to a detailed account of the rule over the tree embroved faultlessly-kept thorough-fare of what is bound to become the "boomiest" town in the county this fall. Beautiful homes, prosperous business houses, lined each street; in fact, an air of well to do comfort and prosperity seemed to pervade the place. A drive out about the vineyards of the PACIFIC COAST ITEMS. Wm. Foran was shot at Stockton on Sunday by Lloyd Harrison in a quarrel, and is not expected to live. Both are sporting men. The wife of Frank Mohart was drowned in the Columbia river seven miles from Vancouver on Sunday while bathing. In a fight at Calabasas, Thomas Moraghan shot to death a Mexican mail carrier and an American named Holland was fatally stabbed. The latter was an old and well-known miner in Southern Arizona. E Charmond, a restaurant proprietor of Virginia City, was returning from Steamboat Springs in-a buggy in company with two friends, when the buggy capsized on the Geiger grade. Charmond struck on his head, and being a heavy man, broke his neck. He died instantly. At Riverside, Fred Filkins, aged 15 years, a son of C. W. Filkins, of that city, was drowned while in bathing at about 5:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon. His companion was unable to assist him, but came in for help. Exertions are being made to raise the body, but so far without success. The place where he was drowned was where one of the canals empties its waters in an arroyo, forming a pond. The bottom is very soft and the boy was probably held down by the mud, and he was thus unable to extricate himself. His father and mother are in Chicago. The San Bernardino Times says: Daniel Sexton exhibited to us an invention of his own design for racking off wine without exposure to the atmosphere. It consists of a vacuum pump, which forces the air from one barrel to another, and transposes the air of the one cask for the fluid of the other. The two casks are connected by a rubber tube, and both are air tight, and their contents are transposed by means of the vacuum pump. The invention is an ingenious one, and as it is designed to save labor and waste, it will without doubt come into general favor. There is no need of drawing off the wine and carrying it through the air from one barrel to another, as this little machine does without trouble and with far less labor than is at present required. Placontia Notes. Mr. John Lempke has painted his house and barn, and thoroughly renovated the premises, giving them a neat and tidy appearance. Truly, coming events cast their shadows.

Notice of Application to Purchase Timber Land. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT IN COMPLIANCE with the provisions of the Act of Congress approved July 24th,cursed "An Act for sale of Timber Lands in the States of California, Oregon,Nevada and Washington Territory." Burdette Chandler, whose property is located in Los Angeles County, California, has this day filed The town looked charming, and the news paper map, who had been met at the depot by Mr. John Landell, of the Anaheim Land Bureau, drove about the place in a carriage. But little space can be here devoted to a detailed account of the ride over the tree embowered faultlessly kept thoroughfare of what is bound to become the "boomiest" town in the county this fall. Beautiful homes, prosperous business houses, lined each street; in fact, an air of well to do comfort and prosperity seemed to pervade the place. A drive out about the vineyards of the wine-makers was made also. Here the homes of the Schneiders, the Brownings, the old Cowan homestead, the Langenberger place and others were seen and inspected, and after a splendid dinner at Chateau Landell, the home of the host of the Express man, a drive was taken across the broad prairies owned by the land company, but which, it is understood, will shortly be placed in Mr. Landell's hands for sale when it is almost needless to say, they will be converted into magnificent vineyards and orchards. A conversation had with Mr. Landell concerning the growth of the country developed some startling facts. The gentleman has resided in the Parent Colony for years and is accredited the best posted man regarding it and its lands in the south. Said he: "We can boast a population, resident, I mean, in the town alone of nearly 1200. We had about 700 a year ago I think. Lands throughout this section have increased in value from thirty to seventy per cent. The latter approximation applies to Anaheim town property and lands immediately all joining the town's boundaries. Town lots that sold for $75 and $100 a year ago I find are quickly gobbled now-a-days if offered for from $250 to $1000 each. "Yes," he continued, "we would have the greatest real estate boom here we have ever known, if holders would sell. But you can't blame them. It is a fact there is not a poor land holder in Anaheim district who has lived here five years. Recognizing the fact that in their homes is their living, that wealth is sure to follow residence, they won't sell out, oven at handsome prices. Our big boom will come when the land company markets about 3000 acres of their lands here. We can offer the best proofs of the adaptability of this section to the culture of anything that grows in the earth right here on the farms you have visited. "Good properties are on the market now and more will be in the near future." Over 3,000,000 gallons of wines, for which Anaheim is famous, are stored in the cellars of its vintners. The Anaheim distiller can wait for higher prices, because he is rich and can afford it." Anaheim and Anaheim's Boom I. A. Conn. Bulletin. "Annie's Home" or as it is known Anaheim, is commencing an era of prosperity. Placontia Notes. Mr. John Lempke has painted his house and barn, and thoroughly renovated the premises, giving them a neat and tidy appearance. Truly, coming events cast their shadows before. Three marriages are to be celebrated in the near future, but we dare not tell. Placentia Sunday School has closed for the season. Land continues to advance in price. Mr. Pierotti has retired $5500 for his twenty acres on Placentia Heights avenue. Three months ago he offered the game for $2500. Mr. D. J. Kraemer and bride have returned from their wedding tour to San Francisco. Coyotes are more numerous this season than men, and are committing many depressions in the poultry yards. They make their raids at early dawn and catch the first fowls that fly from their perches. The county should pay a bounty for their scalp. About one-fourth of all the poultry raised here is destroyed by them. The orange pickers will finish picking this week on the Glioman ranch, which will complete two pick for this season. The picking of the crop commenced in December and closed in June. Young oranges are nearly as large as walnuts. The biting frost and the hot wave which recently swept over the northern and middle portion of the State did not reach Placentia, but the same pleasant days and pleasant nights, never too hot, and never too cool, continues from month to month. Surely fortunate are those who have cast their lot in this favored land. Board of Supervisors. On motion $88 was allowed to indigents. J. N. Pemberton, T. J. Kern and F. S.

"Annie's Home or as it is known Anaheim, is commencing an era of prosperity. While other towns in close proximity have been enjoying rise after rise in real estate values, plaud old Anaheim has contentedly laid back and waited. Now the philagnatic Teuton is reaping his reward, his long-stemmed pipe is cast aside, his beer glass is empty and he himself is unrecognizable in the role of a real estate man. To hear the solvability of his praises one would imagine him a product of the country lying west of the "Castellated Rhine." But then he has something to explain on. A lovely country, clothed with vineyards, orange groves, beautiful ranches, and last but not least a climate that is unexcelled. Anaheim is as a rule, rather a dusty place, but the dust is being laid by a street sprinkling system. A good many large brick buildings are in course of construction. Anaheim is only just commencing to boom. It is a highly favored district that has only laid hidden, because its citizens were contented with the fate which Dame Nature had provided them. They were getting rich without any boom. It would be hard to find in any country a community so universally well off as far as worldly goods are concerned. But the fever has reached and fired the blood of the Teuton and the way in which real-estate values are climbing to a par with those of the rest of Los Angeles county, is due to the fact that capitalists have been there and seen its importance. And yet the eastern cranks ask what is going to support the boom? It is no boom; it is the placing of a valuable, productive, wealthy, sunny, beautiful country in its proper position. Lands are seemingly high, but do they not compare favorably in the net income of their products, with those most fertile in the east. Is not land cheaper at $100 per acre that produces $100 per acre than eastern land at $100 that is doing well if it net $10 per acre. Sabe!

I therefore offer for sale my entire stock of dry goods, fancy goods, boots and shoes, hats and caps, either in one lot to anyone who wants to start a store, or I will retail the stock as usual at cost price. This announcement is not in the line of the usual advertisement, but means exactly what it says, and I respectfully ask the people to call at my store and ascertain my prices before purchasing elsewhere. Anyone knowing themselves indebted to me are requested to call and settle their accounts at their earliest convenience. HIPPOLYTE CAHEN. F. L. MASON. Proprietor.
