The New Hotel Plans Being Considered. A letter received by the writer from a real estate agent at Pasadena says: "There is quite an inquiry about Anaheim." Similar reports come from Los Angeles, and it is very evident that Anaheim is soon to be wooped and won by the admirers of Dame Fortune. In fact the wooing part has already begun, and the consummation is not far off. With every natural advantage possessed by other localities, and a great many which they do not possess, and with land cheaper than in any other part of the county, it is a foregone conclusion that the public mind will center upon this place to its and their advantage. The entering wedge of this boom will undoubtedly be the hotel project. The plans will be ready and the contract for the construction of the hotel let within two weeks from date, and the work will be pushed to completion by an army of men. We have in previous articles already shown that this will stimulate others to make improvements, and this is all that is needed to make business lively here. If the people who live here will show their confidence and energy by improving the town, strangers will emulate them, and a different order of things will prevail. The new hotel will start with one big advantage—it will be surrounded by a garden crowded with beautiful flowers and shrubbery that have been twenty years in reaching their present perfection. And the natural beauty of the plants is heightened by the artistic way in which the grounds have been planned by Mr. Luedke, from whom the property was purchased. But it is not FAREWIFE. Given in Honor at the A farewell party on Friday evening on S. D. Bishop, Past Parlor, No. 74, N. N., who took his departure northern part of the C. J. Meyerholz. He was engaged for the large number of young from Anaheim to the after 6 p.m. the parlor sort. Arriving there to a bountiful supposition, tables for the guests having been set up the veranda of the villa of the dainty repastion, the merry guests are. After supper all kinds dulged in, and the villa entertained by Mr. of terpsichore follow fantastic, after tiring ably participated in, continued for a time thencepeent indeed. The lover of music tertained, and the most some of the young lad companiment, were acceptable, an evinced clause that followed adjoined. A pleasant time was course, and it was no party was broken friends of Mr. Bishop well wishes, with the turn hither again in merry visitors then dawn in hand coach, among the many young men who were present reporter noted the folly lieved to be a complete Misses Dora and Mrs Schneider, Mrs Schleuter, Rose Da Miss Thompson, Miss SORGHUM SYRUP. — Mr. J. Y. Anderson of Westminster will in a few weeks begin the manufacture of sorghum syrup. He will make about 3000 gallons—not near enough to supply the local demand. Mr. Anderson's syrup is very popular. NEW RECRUIT: The wife of Fred, Eichler, the efficient Sergeant of the Tyroleers, presented him on last Sunday night with a new recruit. The new recruit is a plump, strong-limbed, healthy boy possessed of a magnificent voice and a healthy disposition to use it. BIG PROFITS. — W. H. Lyon, of Lyon & Ennis, received a letter on Tuesday from his brother who is in the real estate business at San Jose, conveying the pleasing intelligence that from an investment of $1500 he had cleared $7000 in six days. There is evidently a commotion in the Garden City. A DIFFERENCE. — The situation is somewhat different in San Diego from what it is in Anaheim. There, the people assembled in mass meeting and demanded that the Town Trustees have the streets graded, paved, swered and sidewalked. Here, the Trustees get roundly cussed when they propose to construct sidewalks. COMING CROWD. — It is the deliberate opinion of a gentleman recently from the East, who has had opportunities for forming an opinion, that at least 200,000 people will visit this county this winter. Los Angeles is the destination of most of them, and there must be concerted action taken to switch them off down this way. BUENA PARK STORE. — It will be seen by advertisement elsewhere that this store is ready for business. Mr. Whitaker has taken the best way to popularize Buena Park, and it will also be a great convenience to the surrounding neighborhood. We are glad to know that the new town is meeting with favor among investors and homeseekers. Sarah E. Banham has been appointed Postmaster at Buena Park. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. — The Placentia school will reopen on September 5th. The former competent teachers—J. P. Greeley and Miss Belle McFadden—have been employed for the ensuing term. The Orangethorpe school will reopen on September 5th. Mr. S. S. Wood has been re-engaged as teacher, much to the gratification of the people of the district. RAILROAD SPUR. — A bit of railroad news, that has for some reason or other been kept remarkably quiet, is now announced for the first time. The Southern Pacific are unloading material for the construction of a branch road from Orange to Earlham and Modena. Another branch road nearer Anaheim is being whispered about, and is almost certain to become a fact. Truly, the railroad situation is getting interesting. CHANGE OF FIRM. — By reference to advertised card it will be seen that the firm of Keith & Ruddock has dissolved by mutual consent, Mr. Hendricks having sold his entire interest to G. A. Ruddock. The busi- If the people who live here will show their confidence and energy by improving the town, strangers will emulate them, and a different order of things will prevail. The new hotel will start with one big advantage—it will be surrounded by a garden crowded with beautiful flowers and shrubbery that have been twenty years in reaching their present perfection. And the natural beauty of the plants is heightened by the artistic way in which the grounds have been planned by Mr. Luedke, from whom the property was purchased. But it is not proposed to stop here. The principal front of the hotel will be on Olive street, about 150 feet back from the line of the street. On this frontage, and to an indefinite area on the south, another garden and lawn will be made, and until that part of the ground becomes a thing of beauty, the present garden will be preserved intact for the use and enjoyment of guests. As the Gazette went to press, the plans submitted by J. C. Pelton Jr., and Newsome Brothers were being considered and discussed by the stockholders, and it is probable that a decision will be arrived at today. The contract for the construction of the building will be let within two weeks. Significant: L. T. Garnsey to Russ Lumber and Mill Company—25 acres SW corner of Adelaide and Orange streets, Anaheim, $2250. A deed for the property above mentioned was filed in the Recorder's office on Monday. Its significance is in the fact that the land purchased is adjoining the new A., T. & S.E. depot grounds, and that it is to be used as a lumber yard by the Russ Company, who have a yard at every important town through which the Atchison road runs. Coming events cast their shadows before, and this particular shadow portends an early beginning on Anaheim's new depot. Felipe Carrisosa, the youth who was accidentally shot two weeks ago, is in a fair way to recover. The apparatus for cleaning the street car track was put in regular weekly operation on the line Tuesday evening. A marriage license was granted on Monday to Edward M. Kraemer and Emma Schumacher, both of North Anaheim. A wedding is announced to be solemnized on Saturday evening. Another will be celebrated at North Anaheim in a few days. Gale's teams are hauling asphaltum from the oil district north of town to the depot. A carload is about ready for shipment. Lyon & Ennis have an 81-pound lemon on exhibition at their office. If they didn't give their solemn testimony that it was a lemon, we should call it a watermelon. A German saloon keeper at Yorba, name unknown, was shot in the fleshy part of the leg last week by a drunken railroad laborer. No arrests. Building and Other T. S. Grimshaw has shed in his yard on B. D. J. Sorensen has ing of Mr. Zayn's new on both sides. Larsen & Co. have work on Mr. Fish's neys have been built to the work of plastering.

The names of the ditto town on which lamp potted were this week painted and placed in the car When the lamps are lit names of the streets she S. S. Federman has twelve feet by removing distance to the back park New shelving has been portion, and Dennis painting at that has for some reason or other been kept remarkably quiet, is now announced for the first time. The Southern Pacific are unloading material for the construction of a branch road from Orange to Earlham and Modena. Another branch road nearer Anaheim is being whispered about, and is almost certain to become a fact. Truly, the railroad situation is getting interesting. CHANGE OF FIRM.—By reference to advertised card it will be seen that the firm of Keith & Ruddock has dissolved by mutual consent, Mr. Hendricks having sold his entire interest to G. A. Ruddock. The business will now be carried on by Keith & Ruddock. The senior partner, Mr. Keith, has stopped his foolishness at the Landing and is ready for business. All parties wishing to buy or sell lands or lots should call on Keith & Ruddock because they will sell if there is any sell in it. THE PALMYRA:—This hotel at Orange is a miracle of refined taste and elegance. In every detail and in its general arrangement nothing is left to be desired; and it is an ideal home situated amid ideal surroundings. The very elaborate description of this hostelrie given in the Gazette some weeks ago was a faithful pen picture of it. May the enterprise of its proprietor, C. Z. Culver, meet with the reward to which he is fairly entitled. Mr. Martin, the manager, is an experienced hotel keeper, and under his guidance the house is certain to acquire an enviable reputation. A Pleasant Surprise On last Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Kraemer were pleasantly surprised by the sudden appearance of a large number of their friends and neighbors. There were people present from Anaheim proper and from all the surrounding country and they were received and entertained with the great hearted hospitality so characteristic of Mr. Kraemer and his amiable spouse. The Kraemer mansion was soon put to rights and the fun and frolic commenced. There were drinking and eating and dancing and the enjoyment reached into the "wee ama hours." All departed in the very best of cheer, leaving the genial host and hostess in the same condition. LOST—Between Anaheim and the Landing, a parasol. The finder will please return it to Mrs. N. H. Mitchell. A wedding is announced to be solemnized on Saturday evening. Another will be celebrated at North Anaheim in a few days. Gale's teams are hauling asphaltum from the oil district north of town to the depot. A carload is about ready for shipment. Lyon & Ennis have an 51-pound lemon on exhibition at their office. If they didn't give their solemn testimony that it was a lemon, we should call it a watermelon. A German saloon keeper at Yorba, name unknown, was shot in the fleshy part of the leg last week by a drunken railroad laborer. No arrests. The legend, "H. C. Gade's Office," in bright letters, on a neat little sign, hangs in the glass door of one of the rooms in the Anaheim Hotel building. The Zinfandel grape vines will yield largely this year, as in every instance, it is reported, the vines look thrifty and are loaded with unusual large clusters of grapes. We are in receipt of a neat little folder of four pages, issued by McFadden & Bentley, real estate agents of Westminster, descriptive of that thriving and productive section. Hear the whistle of the locomotive coming through the canyon on the line of one of the greatest railroad corporations in the United States! The firm of Cowan, Riley & Co., real estate agents at 16 South Fort street, Los Angeles, are doing a rushing business. The senior partner is D. W. C. Cowan of Anaheim. Kellogg Bros. having sold out their stock of goods to the Buena Park store, will no longer conduct one at the depot. They propose hereafter to deal in real estate exclusively. Mr. August Erz has just shipped a carload of wine to the East. Fred Hartung has purchased a considerable quantity of wine from Charles Lorenz, and is filling it in pipes for shipment. A social hop was given at the residence of Joel Parker near Orange on last Friday evening. E. A. White and W. W. Weaver of the Anaheim Orehestra furnished music for the occasion. More than twenty couple participated, and an enjoyable time was spent. The contractor for the cement work at Fullerton has been in a peck of trouble. The teamsters who had guaranteed to haul gravel for the work failed to fulfill their promises, and he was obliged to go to Los Angeles yesterday morning to transfer a part of his own working force to Fullerton. It is probable that thieved into the lower Anaheim day or Sunday. Supt. Karnes, who has been done by the S. A. pump, reports that success, but that a scarred vails. It lifts ten headliged to stop at short intervals in water to accumulate in caisson, which is sunk in feet long, 12 feet wide and a force of men are at work ening it.

Co., held on Saturday rose was instructed to pave case of the Company Superior Court. Should sufficient sign to the petition to form under the provisions of was resolved to employ to look after the company the pendency of the matter of Supervisors. The Anaheim Improved granted permission to pipe Broadway between Oran provided the pipe be no inches in diameter. FAREWELL PARTY. Given in Honor of Steps. J. Bishop at the Landing. A farewell party was given at the Landing on Friday evening of last week in honor of S. D. Bishop, Past President of Invincible Parlor, No. 74, N. S. G. W., of Anaheim, who took his departure on Sunday for the northern part of the State, accompanied by C. J. Meyerholz. Lewis & Waffle's omnibus was engaged for the evening to carry the large number of young ladies and gentlemen from Anaheim to the Landing, and shortly after 6 p.m. the party departed for that resort. Arriving there they were welcomed to a bountiful supper prepared for the occasion, tables for the accommodation of the guests having been elaborately arranged on the veranda of the warehouse. All partook of the dainty repast, which was enjoyed by the merry guests and which regaled them. After supper all kinds of games were indulged in, and the visitors were handsomely entertained by Mr. Bishop. The devotees of terpachore followed in tipping the light fantastic, after tiring of the games so enjoyably participated in. The dancing was continued for a time that was very pleasantly epon indeed. The lovers of music were subsequently entertained, and the melodies discurred by some of the young ladies, with musical accompaniment, were well rendered and very acceptable, as evinced by the storm of applause that followed. A pleasant time was spent in social intercourse, and it was not until a late hour that the party was broken up, after which all the friends of Mr. Bishop tendered their farewell wishes, with the hope that he may return hither again in the near future. The merry visitors then departed for home in the four-in-hand coach, arriving here at 3 A.M. Among the many young ladies and gentlemen who were present on this occasion our reporter noted the following, which is believed to be a complete list: Misses Dora and Minnie Zeyn, Emma and Louise Schneider, Mary Horstmann, Minnie Schleuter, Rose Davis, Clara Mosseman, Miss Thompson, Miss Gunn, Mand Northam. THE GRAND ARMY. THE SOLDIERS' HOME—LETTER FROM CAPT. BLANDING. ANAHEIM AT THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT. Wiesendanger and Bonanil's Gift.

Building and Other Improvements T. S. Grimshaw has put up quite a large shed in his yard on Broadway. D. J. Sorensen has completed the building of Mr. Zayn's new barn, which has stalls on both sides. Larsen & Co. have completed the woodwork on Mr. Fish's new house. Two chimneys have been built in the tenement, and the work of plastering is now in order. The weeds on Olive street have been hoed down and partly cleared away. Owners of lots on Clementina street have cut down some of the sunflower patches. H. Boege is still at work painting D. J. Kraemer's house in Placentia, and says that the building will have a fine appearance when this work is completed. The dwelling is situated on a hill. A water trough, with faucet attached, has been erected on Clementina street in front of the new saloon in the bakery building. Public watering troughs should be erected on the principal streets in town. The cypress hedge on Mrs Hart's place on Los Angeles street has been neatly trimmed up. Residents in other parts of town have also trimmed their hedges and beautified the premises. The work of building the new car house, adjoining Mitchell's stable, has been finished. A switch was laid a few days ago from the main track into the building, wherein the car is now stored at night. The names of the different streets around town on which lamp posts have been erected were this week painted on pieces of glass and placed in the casings of the lamps. When the lamps are lighted at night the names of the streets show up to advantage. S. S. Federman has enlarged his store by twelve feet by removing the partition that distance to the back part of the building! New shelving has been put in the enlarged portion, and Dennis has just completed painting it. A pleasant time was spent in social intercourse, and it was not until a late hour that the party was broken up, after which all the friends of Mr. Bishop tendered their farewell wishes, with the hope that he may return hither again in the near future. The merry visitors then departed for home in the four in hand coach, arriving here at 3 A.M. Among the many young ladies and gentlemen who were present on this occasion our reporter noted the following, which is believed to be a complete list: Misses Dora and Minnie Teyn, Emma and Louise Schneider, Mary Horstmann, Minnie Schleuter, Rose Davis, Clara Mossman, Miss Thompson, Miss Gunn, Mand Northam, Misses Higgins, Adele Bennett, Mrs. A. L. Lewis, Misses Hartung, Misses Gardiner, Mr. Clark and wife, Dora Scott, Mrs. Scott, Mrs. Hardin, Mrs. Pfeninger, Miss Kraemer, Misses Smith and Roberts, S. D. Bishop, Will E. Bailey, Alex.

BLANDING, Manager National Home, 324 Pine St. At the last meeting of Malvern Hill Post, A.E.Hendricks, F.S.Wallace and W.Hounsom were appointed as delegates to attend the called convention of the G.A.R.at Los Angeles. Upon the return of the Anaheim delegates a special meeting of the Post was called. The meeting convened at the office of W.A.Witte, the following members of the Grand Army being present: Erwin Barr, H.C.Gale, F.S.Wallace,A.E.Hendricks,W.Hounsom,A.VHoward,W.A.Witte and P.S.Dorney,H.C.Gale was called to the chair and F.S.Wallace acted as Secretary.A.E.Hendricks stated that the meeting was called for the purpose of taking such steps as would secure a representation of the products and beauties of Anahoim at the National Encampment which takes place in the city of St.Louis.The question of transportation of Anaheim's exhibit was discussed during which it transpired that the Grand Army would take charge of all exhibits and that several parts of Los Angeles county had already donated lots to be sold for the purpose of creating a transportation and care-taking fund. The following were then appointed a committee on lots: Comrades Gade,Hounsom,Hendricks,Wallace and Darney.That the committee acted energetically and promptlythe following communication proves: Los ANGELES Cal., Aug.10, 1887. Messrs.'Gade and Hendricks,AnaheimCal.-GENTLEMEN:Your letter of the 8th musthas just reached us.We spoke to other members of the Syndicate who could not see where we could get an Anahoim lot to give to the G.A.R.committee.

Thewellpipebusinessisbrisk.Mr The names of the different streets around town on which lamp posts have been erected were this week painted on pieces of glass and placed in the casings of the lamps. When the lamps are lighted at night the names of the streets show up to advantage. S. S. Federman has enlarged his store by twelve feet by removing the partition that distance to the back part of the building! Now shelving has been put in the enlarged portion, and Dennis has just completed painting it. Mr. Morton has erected a windmill on his place, the name of which would indicate that blizzards or cyclones are predicted. We can assure Mr. M. that nothing stronger than a "Riverside zephyr" can or will prevail in these parts. Water Matters It is probable that the water will be turned into the lower Anaheim ditch on Saturday or Sunday. Supt. Karnes, who has inspected the work being done by the S. A. V. I. Co. at the big pump, reports that the pump is a great success, but that a scarcity of water yet prevails. It lifts ten heads of water, but is obliged to stop at short intervals to allow the water to accumulate in the caisson. The caisson, which is sunk in the river bed, is 96 feet long, 12 feet wide and 12 feet deep, and a force of men are at work continually deepening it. Three wells are also being sunk in the river bed, 7-inch, 12-inch and 24 inch in diameter, respectively. A large amount of money is being spent in developing water, and it is hoped and expected that the work will be a success. At the meeting of the Directors of the A. U. W. Co. held on Saturday, Attorney Melrose was instructed to prosecute the appeal case of the Company vs. Meyer in the Superior Court. Should sufficient signatures be obtained to the petition to form an irrigating district under the provisions of the Wright bill, it was resolved to employ J. S. Chapman, Esq., to look after the company's interests during the pendency of the matter before the Board of Supervisors. The Anaheim Improvement Company was granted permission to pipe the water through Broadway between Orange and Olive streets provided the pipe be not less than twenty inches in diameter. Aside from the Syndicate, however, Wiesendanger & Bonsall themselves give lot 3, block 11, in the beautiful town of Marquette. We enclose map herewith and you will find that it is near the park. With best wishes we remain, respectfully, WIESENDANGER & BONSALL. Los Angeles was a candidate for the Home, and proposed to give Elysian Park. But the City Attorney has given an opinion that the Park could not be granted for that purpose, and therefore Los Angeles gracetully gives up the fight. The contest appears to be between Anaheim and Fulton Wells, with Anaheim far in the lead. The Express says: The opinion of the City Attorney, to the effect that the Council is not empowered to give Elysian Park to the United States government for the use of a branch soldiers' home, seems to dispose of the proposition. We regret that this is the case, for if the government had accepted the property the city could have used it as a park without being put to the expense of improving it. As it is, we believe Fulton Wells and Anaheim are the only places which have made offers of land for the soldiers' home. The efforts of the people of Los Angeles should now be directed to securing the home for one of these places. Anaheim Wines in Texas S. I. Meyer of San Antonio, Texas, was here during the week making arrangements for his annual purchase of Anaheim wines for the Texas and Southeastern market. Mr. Meyer is a large San Antonio dealer, and has made annual purchases here since 1882. He informs us that California wines in general and Anaheim wines in particular are constantly growing in favor throughout Texas and the great and growing Southeast, and his expressions are backed by his constantly increasing annual purchases. Recent Real Estate Transactions The house and lot on the Spoerl tract has been purchased by N. A. Bittner for $750. F. B. Weis has sold his lot on the corner of Center and Adams street, opposite the lumber yard, to Victor Blanchard for $3000. H. D. Polhemus reports the following sale: A. E.
