The Weekly Gazette. ISSUE EVERY THURSDAY. Memery Murchel, Charles Murchel, Fotoma and Proximus. CHURSDAY JANUARY 5, 1809 We have here men financially able to erect expansive buildings in the business part of town and which would be the means of improving Anaheim a hundred-fold; and it would be money well expended as the buildings could readily be rented for stores, etc. Why don't they do it? The wealthy residents of this place ought to give this very important branch of business serious consideration, and we say they would never regret the investment. Would the men of means erect business blocks in Anaheim, the ball would be started rolling, and other projects of note would surely follow, and we them could have as big a boom as any of our flourishing neighboring towns. Anaheim needs a few more public-spirited citizens. Men who will take an interest in the welfare of the town and strive to improve it as their respective pockets will admit. We have businessmen here now who are doing all in their power to accomplish public good, but they require more aid in the shape of wide-awake rain with render material support in improving this town. Could we secure the aid of more energetic man, the prospects for Anaheim's future progress would be plainly visible. The people of Anaheim must drink of the new life that is asserting itself throughout this county. The time is opportune for the reign of means to commence to exert themselves and make Anaheim what its natural subjugation calls for—one of the best towns in the State. The rain that commenced falling a few days ago is a most beneficial Year's gift to the farmers. It came at a time of year when the husbandman most sincerely expects it, and the replenishing showers that descended upon us place the future prospects in a most happy state. The rains at this time of year send new life into the tillers of the soil and they start out with contemplations not otherwise obtained. They feel more able to make material immeasures bigger says 'endangered thy brain no more! Your dell sea will not go for heating.' So it is with this Dumontane look at Santa Ana. He has been for a year trying to learn the name of the railroad that stops at his door. But the task is too great for his elbows, dwarfed and agile-shaken intellect. The railroad company calls that line the 'Anaheim branch,' and baby mine of an minine tool does not know it. Take him to his one to have his nose wiped. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Anaheim, December 29, 1807. EDITOR GAZETTE — In Thursday's Gazette appeared a letter in which the writer takes our Board of Trustees to task for allowing our business places and saloons to remain open on Sunday, and says that he was impressed while on a late visit to our neighbouring town of Santa Ana by the quest and order which prevailed; the business houses being all closed on Sunday by an ordinance of their Town Council, and said writer advises our local Board to take pattern after them. I desire to answer the letter referred to, as it is calculated to send the impression abroad that we are an uncivilized and disorderly class of rowdies here in Anaheim. First, I would say that for the past six years—long before Santa Ana was incorporated—I have always advocated the closing of all business houses on Sunday, and that an ordinance to that effect has not been passed long ago is owing to circumstances which I could not control. The impetuation that our town is disorderly on Sunday is at variance with the facts. On the contrary our town has always been noted as a respectable, orderly community at all times, and there is less drunkenness and rowdyism here than in any other town in the county. The only disturbance on a Sunday that I can recollect happened two weeks ago, when a lot of the "orderly and respectable" citizens of a neighboring town, who could not get liquor at home, came here and disgraced them themselves. I have no doubt that our worthy city fathers will pass a Sunday closing ordinance as soon as public sentiment shall demand it. HIPPOLYTE CAHEN.

The preliminary work connected with the Pomona, Olinda & Anaheim Railroad Company is going ahead satisfactory. The parties who have the project in hand are diligently engaged getting the matter in shape, and we hope to chronicle the full proceedings of the company by next week. Many are the compliments received by Anaheim for her reputation as a wine producing section. The cellars of Anaheim contain wines that have been pronounced by connoisseurs to be superior to any to be found in the State. The wine-growers of Anaheim have acquired this just reputation by long years of toil and study and it is pleasing to know that Anaheim wines are receiving popular attention. The accounts of the effects of a recent Kansas blizzard are almost incredible to persons born in California. Accustomed to the winter verdure of our plains they can hardly imagine families sitting frozen around their cold hearths. It is equally difficult to understand why people should stop in such a country when a few days travel would bring them here. The State Board of Viticulture has been requested to cooperate with the Pure Food Convention, which will convene in Washington during the present month to take into account legislation to be asked from Congress. Foals, wines and drugs are included within the scope of the proposed legislation. The enormous extent to which our wines are discredited by adulterations and imitations makes the matter of peculiar interest to California.

CALIFORNIANS may well be proud of the fruits of all kinds which are raised in their native State, says the San Francisco Call. The hills and the valleys from the Oregon border line to San Diego are dotted with the orchards of thousands of farmers. Each year the products of these orchards gain a stronger foothold in the estimation not only of Californians but of the residents of all the States east of the Sierra Nevada. Each year brings a heavier demand for California fruits from these States. Keeping pace with the demand is the continued improvements in methods of shipping fruit East so that it can arrive there in the best possible condition. Several years ago fruit that was shipped East arrived there in a miserable condition, if in fact it was not entirely worthless. Still the size of the fruit and the flavor of such as was good was appreciated, and the Eastern people did not cause to demand California fruit, especially oranges and grapes. Now, through the cold storage and refrigerator process, fruit arrives in Chicago and even New York in an excellent condition. The San Francisco Alta has the following good word for Southern California. It says: "By common consent the monopoly of orange production in this state has been conceded to Southern California. There it has served a purpose far greater than the commercial value of the orange crop. Mildness of climate is no associated with the orange that the fruit worked powerfully to attract that stream of winter travel which increases every year, and to deprive Florida of the profit it had been gained as the only winter resort in America. Not only this good focus came to Southern California on the testimony of the orange, but that evidence impressed Northern Europe and has drawn the attention of this great host which has heretofore sought the French and Italian shores of the Mediterranean for a winter residence. It is our judgment based upon the facts and observations that Southern California will soon find its proper accommodations on streets for the leisure and health making inhabitants of both continents." In this article we shall discuss ways the Los Angeles Trader still controls the Anaheim branch. In reply thereto the farmer apologizes. Grand Auction SALE OF 300 LOTS!
