ANAHEIM VOL XVII. COMPENSATION. One woman, in furs and velvets; Another in squirrel rags; One, rolled by in her sights carriage; The other, stood on the flare. One woman, alone in her carriage; By the other, a little child. Who, watching the prancing horses, Looked up in her face and smiled. She stooped to her boy and kissed him, And gave him a boarded crust. The other had just left costly blooms Where her one won lay in dust. One, back to her darkened mansion, Wealth cannot hold death at bay! One, back to the hut where labor Brought bread for the evening day. Perhaps, as over the sands of life, Two great title ebbs and flows. More fates among us are equal Than their outward seeming show. All the Year Round. EDUCATIONAL NOTES. The Chautauqua School claims, as usual, the largest graduating class of the season. About 5000 people will be presented with diplomas at Chautauqua. The new College de France, which has been started in Paris, will require scarcely less than six years for its completion, it is stated, and will cost 12,000,000f. Harrow, the big English public school, is to defer the study of Greek to the more advanced forms, so as to give time in early boyhood for German, French, History, geography and elementary mathematics. Sir Dinshaw Manockjee Patit, the Parsee Sheriff of Bombay, has given more than $750,000 for educational and other philanthropical purposes in that city, his latest gift being $75,000 to a woman's college. NOTES BY THE WAY. ELSINORE LAKE AND ITS SETTLEMENTS. SCENES OF DESOLATION AND SCENES OF GRANDEUR. A Storm in the San Jacinto Mountains. Sights and Sounds Eleven Thousand Eight Hundred Feet Above The Sea. In our last, it will be remembered, we halted with a paragraph concerning the South Riverside waterworks. From that point and from South Riverside we now take up our narrative and our journey. The waterworks were not yet completed and as water was scarce our only temperance man was compelled to wash the dust out of his throat with St. Louis bottled. The other parties quietly guzzled their beer and fearing another sandstorm, laid in a good supply of the same kind. All the way to Temescal Canyon the wind howled, and the dust never failed to find our eyes, mouths, ears and nostrils. The water company have their large cement pipe scattered along the road in sections. The pipe is thirty inches in diameter with about two and a half feet joints.

Du Muarier pictures. Punch bowing obsequiously before the figure of a lady in college gown and mortar-board cap passing alone into the first-class compartment of a railway train, which is duly marked "For Ladies Only"—no male competitor having been able to pass the examination in Greek and Latin at Cambridge. "Honor to Agneta Frances Ramsey" is underneath the picture. The Russian author, M. Prugavin, gives some details in the *Russkaya Vedomost* as to the extent of elementary education in Russia during recent years. It appears that of any book intended for the general public 12,000 copies are printed for the first edition but it is often that upward of 80,000 copies are issued, and that several other editions have to appear in the same year. M. Prugavin appeals to Russian authors and men of education to seek that, in view of this growing demand for education among the Russian people, good and useful popular books, of which there is at present great scarcity, should be written. The Chautauqua Assembly. The Chautauqua Assembly of Southern California opened at Long Beach, July 20th, and continues till August 31. It is under the general management of the Chautauqua University, there being twenty assemblies throughout the United States. The University embraces departments in literature, science and the arts. Degrees are conferred upon the completion of the several courses under the general laws of the State of New York. The school year extends from October to June. The chief assembly is held eight weeks each summer on the shore of Chautauqua Lake, New York. A wide range of studies is taught by skillful and enthusiastic scholars from well-known colleges. There are lectures upon standard and current themes by comment American and English speakers. These are interspersed with musical and other entertainments. The local assemblies are essentially on the same plan, and are held at some watering-place or summer resort, thus affording mental and moral improvement as well as mere physical recreation. We too often go to the seaside and hibernate mentally while we buffet the billowy breakers, never imagining that the intellect and as water was scarce our only temperance man was compelled to wash the dust out of his throat with St. Louis bottled. The other parties quietly guzzled their beer and, fearing another sandstorm, laid in a good supply of the same kind. All the way to Temescal Canyon the wind howled, and the dust never failed to find our eyes, mouths, ears and nostrils. The water company have their large cement pipe scattered along the road in sections. The pipe is thirty inches in diameter with about two and a half feet joints. We were unable to determine where their supply of water came from, seeing only a few springs below the pipeline. Farther up the canyon a large force of men were digging a ditch and laying pipe, but our road changed and we did not go in their direction. We noticed stakes driven here and there through the canyon, showing the survey of the railroad from Pomona to Elsinore. For about eighteen miles the canyon is almost barren, only a few places appear inviting enough to tempt even the Mexicans or horntoads. We saw quail and rabbits by thousands, a rare opportunity for the sportsman. Several Lagunas were passed, which will likely be piped to the plains below. Barren and bleak as the place appeared, we never failed to find the usual. HIMALAYAN MAC. Near the road, and three or four miles from Elsinore, a coal mine is being worked. The hillsides are cleared of brush, imaginary streets are staked and an imaginary city exists on paper—another chalk for the himalayan barr. We did not take time to determine whether the mine was as himalayan as the city, but pushed on to Elsinore, the next little settlement by the lake. This is a neat town of about one hundred and twenty-five houses, among which we saw some large brick buildings, a bank, a goodsized hotel, standing on the bluff and overlooking the lake. We also noticed several very fine private residences, many of which would be a credit to any city. On the one main street are several fine hot sulphur springs fitted up in cement reservoirs for bathing purposes, one of which is large enough for a good-sized swimsuit. Baths only cost fifteen cents with towels or ten without. We took a dip and left our South Riverside estate to flow down into the lake. The road runs along the bluff, fifty feet above the lake. Some of our party doubted the dimensions of the lake, which Editor Ward claimed to be three and a half miles wide by seven long. A STERILE REGION. The California Southern R. R. runs within two miles of Elsinore and up the San Jacinto and Cottonwood canyons through a desolate and sterile region. A few bee men have settled there. They try to raise their own hay, but the grain grows so short that it cannot be cut; hence it is pulled like flax; one quarter ton per acre, including roots, being considered a liberal yield.

There are lectures upon standard and current themes by competent American and English speakers. These are interspersed with musical and other entertainments. The local assemblies are essentially on the same plan, and are held at some watering place or summer resort, thus affording mental and moral improvement as well as mere physical recreation. We too often go to the seaside and hibernate mentally while we buffet the billowy breakers, never imagining that the intellect gets out of repair. It is partly with this view that the assembly provides the intellectual and spiritual life a wholesome stimulus as well as rest and pure air for the body. The Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle (C.L.S.C.) is a department of the University. It will be remembered a local circle was maintained for two years in Anaheim. The meetings were discontinued, but some individual reading is still carried on. A four years' course of reading is prescribed by a council of six regents. That for the current year consisting of English Literature, English History, Astronomy, Geology, translations from the French, and religious reading. Next year we will take up American History, American Literature, Physiology, German Literature and Botany. Notes, explanations and topics of public interest are given fully through the Chautauquan, the organ of the Circle. The object of the C.L.S.C. is the promotion of intelligence and culture among the people. The membership reported at the central office is fifty thousand. FRANK MOORE. ANAHEIM, August 1st, 1887. A living cleric recently made this starting announcement: "My brethren, we all know what it is to have a half-warmed fish"—i.e., half-formed wish—"in our hearts." The same individual has been known to speak of "Kinquering congs." He must be a relative of two other clergymen, one of whom gave out his text from the "Colostle to the Epissans," while the other read "knee of any idol" for "eye of a needle." Sunday-school Teacher—And now you may ask any question you like. (Little boy in the back row holds up his hand.) Teacher—Well, what is it, Willie? Willie—Be we goin' to have a picnic this year? A STERILE REGION. The California Southern R.R. runs within two miles of Elsinore and up the San Jacinto and Cottonwood canyons through a desolate and sterile region. A few bee men have settled there. They try to raise their own hay, but the grain grows so short that it cannot be cut, hence it is pulled like flax; one quarter ton per acre, including roots, being considered a liberal yield. The California Southern R.R., as before stated, passes through the San Jacinto canyon, and the San Jacinto people have surveyed a line through Cotton Wood canyon to connect with it. Another line surveyed runs to Perris a few miles above, and is likely to be the one adopted. On top of the hill, before entering the Temecula and San Jacinto plains, stands the abandoned Minifee mining works. The plants contain an area of many thousands and acres broken by rocky hills. The soil is mostly of a coarse sandy nature and is used for stock. In wet seasons, however, fine crops of barley may be raised. This being a dry season but little grain was sown and that little only grew from six to ten inches high. One man said there had only been three dry years since he had lived in the valley; on summing up he had resided there six years; quite a good showing. SAN JACINTO VALLEY Proper, lying along the river, commencing ten miles below the mouth of the canyon, is from four to ten miles wide, dotted with large cottonwood and willow trees from one to three feet in diameter. The soil is a rich sandy loam and reminds one of the Westminster country. In some spots the alkali renders it worthless. Artesian water is readily obtained throughout the valley. The productions are grain, fruits and corn. Trees grow very thrifty, but as yet the fruit is not bearing. We took supper and breakfast at the Glen Dale hotel. Elsinore. We take pleasure in recommending the Glen Dale. We also extend our sympathies to the generous landlord for the loss sustained in furnishing such a large amount of provisions as our party consumed for the small sum of twenty-five cents each. Elsinore is divided against itself. Two parties are each trying to build a town only one-half mile apart. If they would only work together and unite the twain, both would be benefited.

SETAND into and we the that now eted perlust led, beer in a way and thus, ce-secments, their foot of the mountain on a greatly sloping plain is another town site, called Florida. Streets have been graded, a large hotel built, a slaughter-yard and a few vacant houses make up the city proper. Water is piped from the canyon and is of the finest mountain quality, but the soil is too coarse to back the growth of a town. UP THE MOUNTAIN SIDE. Two miles farther, over boulders and rock-beds, brought us to the tollgate where we began to ascend the mountain. The road runs up a ridge or backbone for six miles and is steep, very steep. Up, we toiled, up, up; all hands walking and helping to hold the wagon while resting the team. The heat was intolerable, but had to be borne. Our quail driver tipped the beam at 201 pounds and swore according to his weight, but it was no use. Our cantteen of water was gone, beer bottles were emptied and cast down the mountain, but still the summit was in the distant beyond. Bemoaning our lot and abusing the toll man, we were about ready to call on the rocks to fall and hide us from the rays of the sun when we overtook a family who proposed to camp on the top of the mountain. The family committed an invaded man and two ladies. The ladies had walked up the mountain, from time to time checking the wagon that contained the sick man. Our quail driver quit swearing, took the chock from the ladies and helped the sick man up to the top. The parties were from San Jacinto and had hired a man to move them up, paying him $7.50, but when they arrived at the foot of the mountain he told them they would be compelled to walk.

STRAWBERRY AND HEMMET VALLEYS. The summit was finally reached and a drive over a fair road brought us to Strawberry Valley, among the large pines and clear cold water, where we pitched camp for the night. During the heated term Strawberry Valley is a favorite resort for campers. It is claimed to be six thousand feet above the sea. Many cabins have been built for journers, all of which were occupied and quite a number were living in tents. A drive of six hours brought us down the mountain into Hemmet Valley, which is from two to three miles wide and ten long. One man, a Mr. Thomas, controls the most of the valley, as he has the water and keeps it covered with stock. He has lived there about twenty years, has a Spanish family and is said to be very hospitable, extending to all who may call on him a cordial welcome, without money and without price. Six miles up the valley and three miles up the mountain we arrive at our journey's end, the Hemmet mine. The Culison Bros. are prospecting here and have piled up some very valuable ore. They claim to have a bonanza, and if so we hope to share an interest. On the mountain we were caught in an old-fashioned Missouri thunderstorm. The lightning got too close for comfort. We took refuge under a large project rock which sheltered us from the rain that poured down in good style for over half an hour. The water came down the canyons and gnacles booming in some places fifteen to twenty feet wide where but an hour before was a dry rocky bed. A SATURDAYAN MOUNTAIN. Our mission having been accomplished, we stared on our way home. Passing Strawberry Valley we continued our journey on up one mountain to a millet near the foot of the great San Jacinto, where pine numbers are cut in large quantities and tuned to the town. I am not able to build purposes. The top of San Jacinto's tallest peak seemed so close that we decided to go to it. The Miner boy, 11 years old, was hired as a guide and early in the morning with lunch and canteen we commenced the journey. After traveling four miles across canyons and through brush tangles, we struck the trail, but it did not lead in the direction we wish to go. Consulting our guide, we found he intended to take us up another mountain called Rockwich, an Indian name which refers to his Satanic Majesty. It is said that from the slopes of Rockwich, the satanic mountain, a constant rumbling noise issues with occasional reports like the mighty bursting of cyclopedian bombs; that the rocks tremble and that the air is strongly impregnated with the fumes of sulphur. Having made up our minds to go to the top of San Jacinto, we left the trail and commenced the ascent. At eleven o'clock we reached the first summit, to find another still higher. Pushing on to the second, another rose still higher. The third was reached with a fourth in sight. Clouds began to gather and the thunder was heard in the distance. Between the third and fourth peak was a flat covered with heavy timbers, where two canyons, coming from opposite directions, meet and where clouds join battle for the right. More than half the trees had been struck by lightning. Thunder was rolling below. We pushed on. On the fourth peak was a bank of snow, about one foot deep, one half of which was frozen solid. There were several elements which led to this wise selection. By far the largest area of good arable land in our incompatible valley lies to the south and east of Los Angeles city. Anaheim is very near the geographical center of the country lying between this city and San Juan, and between the Puente hills and the ocean. The soil in this central space is unexcelled in Southern California. It is easily worked, rich and not disposed to become too dry. Then there lies the Santa Ana river with its next haustible and abundant volume of water, which is brought in an easily constructed ditch to the site of the settlement. In 1857, when the whole country was a sheep walk, these far-seeing men laid the foundations of Anaheim. Mr. George Hansen, of this city, can tell all about the history of those pioneer days, as he laid out the town and otherwise assisted in the work. Nor was the picturesque lost sight of in the new venture. As there are no richer or more prosperous places than Anaheim in Southern California, so there are few more beautifully situated. The mountains ring it round at all points except towards the south, and all the great peaks appear plain in sight for the various portions of the town. Thirty years have passed since the first settlers turned their soil at Anaheim. At the present time Meters, J. S. Bancroft and Eugene Day are engaged in the preparation of a directory of the town of Anaheim, and they find about 2,500 souls in the town proper, while there are much more than twice that number in the country around. Civilization has spread off into North Anaheim, up towards the Santa Ana Canyon along the Orangutorpe country, and south to Anaheim Landing, placing the town in the center of a town territory nearly thirty miles in diameter, all of which is under cultivation. The town has its hotels, banks, churches, schools, stores and all the commitments of a town. There are no less than 55 persons engaged in winemaking in and about Anaheim. Besides there are found to be about 125 men who are grape-growers selling their product to the wine-makers. This gives 180 persons engaged in this great industry. This number is of course, far from complete, as all such must necessarily be. There are persons in the town of Anaheim proper who have as many as 40 acres of grapes not enumerated above. This may be taken as an illustration of what has been done at Anaheim in the thirty years since its founding. Every other industry is in the same progressive condition as grape growing. There are cooperers what make the casks, wagon-builders, merchantors. Invasion. The Austrians do not come here, as do the Germans, to identify themselves with the country and become citizens, but to make what they can out of it and then go away again. We can spare the Austrians. Now the foregoing is less damaging to the Austrian people than it is to the writer. So far as the Austrians are concerned, it is a baseless and gratuitous insult, and such insults are pointless shafts. But so far as the writer is concerned, it places him on record as a man ignorant of the subject he essays to treat, one careless of his language and apt—through carelessness, ignorance or apathy—to use the columns of a public journal for the gratification of private malice and the infliction of injustice. I do not know personally, the writer to whom I refer; hence for the purposes of this article, I will style him X. By using the editorial impersonality, "We! Mr.X would seem to speak for the community—the citizens of Anaheim. I doubt my right to do likewise. I speak for myself. How great a censor is Mr.X! Although I have many faults, how can I know to which he refers? Oh, that I could know this Great Censor! I suppose him to be a man. And being a man he is, perhaps, one possessed of the clearest conscience and marked by the best of manners. One who might serve me as an ideal man! How sweet! What would I not give for the ideality and good conscience of Mr.X? How agreeable it must be for so smooth a man to pray like—the Pharasite: "God! I thank THEe that I am not like other men; that I am not like THEi; the extortioner, the adulterer; the formicator. Nay Lord! Nor even as THE Austrian." Good Mr.X, please excuse my accidental coming to this place. It is to be deplored that I am an Austrian and not a person whose nationality might suit you better. Bear patiently with my staying, and Oh, good X, allow me to stay, at least, for a little while! Mr.X says "The Austrian contingent is selling-out and leaving town." Well, this statement—like rest of his senseless article—simply displays his ignorance. The Austrian contingent is not selling out—is not leaving town. One family is about to leave, but "The Austrian contingent" consists of something more than one family. Were I to name the Austrians of Anaheim—particularly the Austrian ladies of culture, wealth and social standing—Mr.X would be tempted to grin at himself. It, as Mr.X avers," "The Austrian contingent" were about to depart en masse, why should they be dismused with insult and malice? Would it not be more humane and manly to bid them—God speed? Perhaps such was, and mayhaps may still be the usage in the town or village from whence Mr.X came. Perhaps he but honestly applies to the Austrians as the same character of "send-off" which he himself received. I am at a loss to know how Mr.X formed his course and ill advised judgment of the Anaheim Austrians. Austria is composed of several nations and a few races. The Austrians of Anaheim, however, are almost wholly German. Can Mr.X speak German? If not how did he form his judgment of an ABOVE THE CLOUDS. ON THE PEAK OF THE SAN JACINTO. As we were now above the clouds and only one more summit to gain, we left our canteen of water with the boys and pushed on a mile and a half and reached at last the topmost pinnacle—11,800 feet above the sea. The eight was truly grand. Below us, to the east and north, lay the great Colorado desert. For miles and miles, as far as the eye could reach, we saw one interminable stretch of white sand, without a spear of vegetation. We saw the storm, heard in the distance, pass out over the desert. The S.P.R.K runs through the vast barren. Two trains could be seen; one seemed a mere threat, it was so far away. The other was at the foot of the mountain and yet it was far in the distance. San Gorgonia, Riverside, Colton, Pomona, were all visible to the west, while to the south and west the ocean was seen from San Juan Capistrano to Santa Monica. It was a grand panorama. On the topmost rock of the pinnacle a monument has been erected, in which we found a bottle containing the names of eight persons, two of whom were ladies—one a Miss Joslin of Orange. On the north, the mountain ends in one grand and fearful precipice fifteen hundred feet deep. We dare not go nearer than six feet of the top of this awful chasm for fear an earthquake might happen to pass that way. At three o'clock and thirty minutes, we started for camp over twelve miles distance. The boys and canteen of water had gone. With no water we hastened on. Both (myself and Stamps) were taken with violent vomiting, which lasted two hours. Darkness came on. We lost our bearings, and commenced signaling, but our signals failed to reach camp. We could not agree as to direction, one wanted to go to the right, the other to the left. Going to th top of the ridge we received the welcome signal from the distant camp, which we finally reached, weak, tired, hungry and almost famished for water. A pleasant drive down the mountain next day, a fine supper and breakfast at the Glen Dale, and two more days' drive landed us safely at home near Anaheim, the finest country we have seen. THEO. STALEY. ANAHEIM, Aug. 8, 1887. Mrs. Tennyson. The poet Tennyson did not marry until past forty years of age. Lady Tennyson is neither intellectual nor esthetic, but is her husband's very humble worshiper. She does not appreciate his work, but when she became his wife, he was the poet laureate, and she counted the fact as of more consequence than the late authorship of the "Ilyls of the King." He is very fond of reading his verses in a chanting tone and grandilequent manner. She invariably listens with rapt attention and explodes in superlatives. Being indulged, flattered and humored to the top of his bent, he is domestic. Violet—Ma, how do people know that it's a man in the moon? Mother (sadly)—Because it's always out nights. Said an old bachelor: "After boarding in a good many different houses I have come to the conclusion that where the table is wretched the people are amusing and jovial. Where it is good the boarders are apt to be more than ordinarily stupid and uninteresting. I account for the fact on the well-known physiological principle that a full stomach makes a stupid brain." What a full stomach yours must be, then," said his landlady's daughter who chanced to overhear his remark. A clergyman who has lately gone across the Atlantic writes home that he was in the Captain's room one evening, when just as he was about to leave, the Captain produced a Bible and asked him to read and pray. "I want you to pray," said the minister. "Ob," replied the son of Neptune, "you heave away at reading, and we will both take a pull at prayer." GAZETTE. 11, 1887. NO. 45. J. H. BULLARD, A. R., M. D.
