It COUNTY DIVISION? Is the Way It knew at Present? In accordance with the Bill Creating the County of Orange, we are firmly convinced that fully eight-tenths thereof earnestly desire that the pending bill be passed by the Legislature and approved by the Governor of the State. L. PARKER'S ORCHARD. The Second Orange Grove Visited by our Representative. One of the orange orchards of Anaheim which has always been held in high estimation by visitors is that of Leonard Parker, a mile and a half north of town. Here are ten acres of as thrifty a lot of trees as one may see anywhere, two and a half acres being set to seedlings fourteen years old, and the balance to navels eight years old. One is driven through the younger orchard in a buggy. The trees are set twenty feet apart, and in many places the passage of a small boggy between the rows is out of question. But slow progress may be made through certain other rows, giving the observer an opportunity to see the endless profusion of golden fruit on every hand. To left and right and forward nothing is seen but lengthy rows of trees ornamented with their beautiful hues of large and incandescent oranges. It is found necessary to prop trees with poles in many instances, so heavy is their burden. These oranges have been pronounced by the agent of W. R. Strong, the Sacramento boyer, to be superior to any he saw at Riverade. Besides the Sacramento man was apprised to see a total absence of "poats and tar pans," blankets for enveloping the trees, and other-protectives against cold, which the intelligent Riveraider holds it necessary to employ to ensure safety to his crop from the ice fingers of Jack Front. One orange picked at random in this orchard last week measured 12 inches in circumference, and another weighed 1 pound 3 ounces. Some of the large seeding trees are estimated to produce nine boxes of oranges. Say the fruit go 140 to the box, there will be 1,200 oranges upon many of the trees. The seeding trees are above thirty feet in height, and give ample opportunity for one to enter beneath the lower branches and observe how thickly is the leafy dome bespinkled with the superb and glorious fruit. To sunset through this groove of magnificent acorns, as the setting sun glistens upon the never-ending showers of seemingly descending gold, is truly a theme worthy a poet's inspiration, but the only word the irreverent reporter found in his vocabulary to express his historic transports was the very respectable one "goal." Mr. Parker has not sold any of his crop as yet, and doubtless, pulling from its excellence everywhere observable to need it in industry. PERSONAL MENTION. Sanford Johnson of Los Angeles is in town, stopping at the Pirrerters. Then C. Halph has been appointed constable of Westminster township. The many friends of Miss Alice Calver-well of Santa Cruz will be pleased to learn that she is visiting with the Misses Higgins. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Krebs celebrated their fifth anniversary of their marriage on Monday. They were the recipients of numerous useful presents, appropriate at the time of a wooden wedding. Henry Steere, District Passenger Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad, was in town on Tuesday and paid us a call. He left with us for distribution a number of Southern Pacific calendars, which our readers are invited to call for. Mr. W. Parris has been appointed agent of the P.C.S.S., Co. at Los Angeles, to fill the vacancy made by her resignation of H. McLallan. Mr. Parris has been in the employ of the company for the past nine years, and all who have been thrown in contact with him speak of him in terms of the highest praise, and unite in wishing him success in the position which he has been selected to fill. Let Us Fight for the County Small! It is said Orange is so anxious to secure the county seat of the county of Orange, in the event of its incorporation, that the magnificent Rochester Hotel building will be donated for the purpose of a new courthouse. Besides this magnificent gift it is said that others are to be given, among them a money consideration of large amount. It is suggested that Anahela take a hand at the county seat fight. Fred Smythe is to the fore with the promise of a twenty-five (25) foot lot for a courthouse site! Come, gentlemen, speak up, who shall be next? Fullerton School. Report of Fullerton school for the month ending January 25th, 1889.

Tourists Whether on pleasure bent or business, should take on every trip a bottle of Syrup of Pigs, as it acts most pleasantly and effectually on the kidneys, liver and bowels, preventing fevers, headaches and other forms of sickness. For sale in 200 and $1.00 bottles by all leading druggists. Riverside Orange Crop. A letter from Riverside gives the following information in regard to their orange crop: Our orange crop is good and prices are good. Owing to the total absence of scale pests in the whole San Bernardino county, orange-growing is in great favor, and planting is again as active as usual, most of the purchases of land being for improvement. Riverside being the principal orange-growing center, our crop being expected to aggregate 800 to 1,000 cars naturally furnishes a great deal of labor, and present the supply is greater than the demand. There will probably be enough employment for all when the orange-picking season opens; which will not be before the middle or end of February. Our oranges are hanging yellow on the trees and have been for two months, but are not by any means as ripe as they look, and are not, consequently, in a cool demand as they will be further on. Supplements East have not commenced in earnest for various reasons, among which are the turpines, the risk of shipping in freezing weather, the smaller demand on account of the freezing weather and the presence of the Florida crop on the market.

The item telephoned from Anaheim on New Year's Day that all observers of the eclipse discerned presence of an inter-mercurial planet has found its way "across the waters," as we are informed by Lionel Browning that it formed an article in a recent number of London Times. Great lament is expressed by The English scientists that we took no photographs of the sun's next door planetary neighbor, whose existence has been subject to such interesting discussion among astronomers for many years past. It has bitherto been impossible to determine exact position of this planet on account of its proximity to the sunry and divers liquid refreshment bureau on that day made and provided. Quien Saber The Wine Outlook. Professor George Huamann, a pioneer viticulturist, takes a hopeful view of present situation of vineyard industries and gives his opinion in a recent number of The Fruit Grover. He considers the phylloxera vine disease of the south drying wine grapes and other things will tend to reduce output and that planting for present will be discouraged. "This is anything but a dattering picture our great industry," agrees with him that it does not look very bright and still I believe it will bring about a turn for better, and that careful vineyardist who will cultivate his vineyard make his wine with due care and perseverence will see as good times again as five years ago when everything looked bright and promising for our young industry and high prices ruled even far indifferent products; and when that good time comes it will stay. We will, during this time, get rid of our inferior product will choose our varieties more carefully will know better how to make and mature wines open new markets and and consume a really good win increase steadily as it has increased wherever we have offered a product fit to sell. It will Kirnigerton. The time table of the Southern Pacific will be found in our advertising column. The Little Sunshine give their entertainment on the evening of the 22nd instant. A dime social was given at Mr. Arvey's residence last Friday evening. Every one present was hospitably entertained. Pred Critz, the popular and good-looking hauler, is now located at his new stage on Center street, near the Opera-house. Mr. Wartenby's bid for the work to be done upon the town water works should have been printed $446 last week, instead of the figures given. The Board of Supervisors on Monday ordered a survey for a public road from Anheim to Spadra. J. D. Steen, R. O. Wood and O. A. Reddock have been appointed viewers. During the high wind which prevailed on Friday, one of the high chimneys on the Hotel del Campo was blown down, creating some little damage to the roof. The break is being repaired. Menns Goldthwaite & Littlefield have had a steam corn sheller at work during the week on their reach in North Anheim. Eleven hundred nails of corn were shaken. Win Crowther will shall about 200 nails. The hardest "Santa Ana" experiment here in many years prevailed on Saturday, making matters somewhat disarrangement, but doing slight damage. A few oranges were blown from the tree. Mr. Wallop announces a clearance sale of dry goods at maritime rates. He intends herunter to deal exclusively in the greener lins, and is offering great bargains for each or trade. Anheim Lodge, No. 85, A. O. U. W., will celebrate the tenth anniversary of its foundation on Sunday evening next. A rival programme of exercises will be rendered and the members will give attention later to a supper prepared with unusual delicacy. A gross injustice is said to be done the teachers of this county in the discounting of their warrants in certain districts, not because the funds are exhausted, but because the money has not been distributed to the several districts of the county. A fair audience greeted the Royce-Lansing Company at the Opera-house Tuesday evening. The company is well remembered by our readers as having been fast as Miss Alice Dudley Chase, formerly of Anheim, was married in Oakland a few days ago to Dr. H. O. Howitt, a physician of Toronto, Canada. The bride is the charming daughter of Chaplain Chase of the United States army, and will be well remembered by our readers as having been fast as Anaheim Lodge, No. 85, A. O. U. W., will celebrate the tenth anniversary of its foundation on Sunday evening next. A varied programme of exercises will be rendered and the members will give attention later to a supper prepared with unanimal delicacy.

A fair audience granted the Royce-Land Company at the Opera-house Tuesday evening. The company is first-class in every particular. The Swiss Bell Ringers were repeatedly called before the curtain, and the entire programme was heartily appreciated. A Mission cutting has sprouted on John Hartung's place and shows every sign of being a healthy vine. It is claimed that it is the only one growing in this vicinity at the present time. Mr. Hartung intends to experiment with it and plant cuttings this coming season. Fritz Ruhmann celebrated his fifty-first birthday on Tuesday evening at his residence on Los Angeles street. A number of friends were present to congratulate him, and a very pleasant evening was spent in honor of the occasion. Conrad's mammoth brick brewery near the Southern Pacific depot is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. The first story is completed, although a scarcity of lumber has interfered somewhat with the workmen during the past week. The building is 120x130 feet and will be two stories in height. The Gazette acknowledges the receipt of an invitation from the Santa Ana Board of Trade to be present at the meeting held there last Saturday to ascertain the sentiment of the people regarding county division. The compliment is appreciated, but it was impossible for us to attend, as business engagements were proclaimed on that day. N. H. Mitchell has again assumed control of the Planters' Hotel and will bereafter conduct it as a first-class hostelry. Many improvements are contemplated that will add materially to the comfort of guests. Mr. Scott is the proprietor's chief assistant, and will always be found ready to assist in the work of taking care of the traveling public. While at work upon the tower of Pfeilman's new building on Wednesday of last week, William McIatosch, the galvanized iron cornice molder, was unfortunate enough to fall to the roof below, sustaining such severe injuries that he has not since been able to resume work. He is convalescing, however, and will be able to begin operations in a few days. Surveyors Wood and Jackson are new engaged in fixing the boundaries of the Anaheim irrigation district, some slight changes in the old houses having been determined upon. A petition to the Supervisors for the formation of the district under the Wright Act will be drawn up soon for presentation at the meeting of the board to be held next month. The petition, with accompanying boundaries, will probably be published in our next issue. Postmaster Gardiner has received instructions from Washington to request sealed proposals for the carrying of the mails here. Mairriage. Miss Alice Dudley Chase, formerly of Anaheim, was married in Oakland a few days ago to Dr. H. O. Howitt, a physician of Toronto, Canada. The bride is the charming daughter of Chaplain Chase of the United States army, and will be well remembered by our readers as having taken quite a prominent part in musical circles while a resident here. Their honeymoon will be spent in Canada and abroad. The groom will remain at Heidelberg, Germany, for two years, where he intend completing his education in special branches of surgery. Among those present at the ceremony were many whose names will be remembered by our readers, in the number being Rev. and Mrs. W. S. Neale, Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Cahill, Mrs. and Miss Olden, Rev. J. A. Emery and William Cullen, besides the relatives of the bride, Miss Grace Kellogg and Miss Olden, both formerly of Anaheim, were among the bridesmaids. The Gazette tenders its congratulations to the happy couple, and wishes them a long life of happiness and prosperity. "How to Help a Town." The following bit of ivory is from the Ventura Democrat. It is right to the point. Read it: Order your dry good from San Francisco. Go to some other place to get your printing done. Bay of peddlers as much and often as possible. Patronize outside papers to the exclusion of your own, and then denounce them for not being large as a San Francisco paper. Send to San Francisco for your letter heads, blank statements, etc., if they are five cents cheaper. Glory in the downfall of some man who has done much to build up the place. Keep every cent you get and don't do anything of a public nature unless you can make something out of it directly. If a stranger comes to town tell him every thing is overdone and predict a general crash of the town in the near future. If you are a merchant don't advertise in the home papers, but buy a rubber stamp and use that - it may save a few dimes and make the paper look as though it was published in a one-horse town. If you are a farmer, curse the town where you trade as the meanest place on earth - talk this to your neighbors - make them believe that business men are all robbers and thieves - it will make your property more valuable. NEWS IN BRIEF. The delinquent tax list of Los Angeles foots up $500,000. The decrease in the public debt for January was $12,216,285.

Postmaster Gardiner has received instructions from Washington to request sealed proposals for the carrying of the mails between the postoffice and the two depots here. Bids for this work will be received up to February 16th next. The work was let to A.S. Pigott on October 18th last, but as he recently sold out his business here to Mr. Wommer, the department at Washington saw fit to advertise new bids. This service is not let for a stated period, but proposals must be made at a per annum rate. The youth of the South Riverside Bee discourses that "there seems to be a better prospect for the creation of the county of Orange with Santa Ana as the county seat, than there is any of the other half-dozen or so county division schemes that were being agitated a few weeks ago. The bill creating the new county has passed the committee favorably, and the people of Santa Ana are hopeful that it will be equally successful with both towns of the assembly." Now, Sonny, tall as what you know about turtly-fritty chewing gum and the world will wag on again. Invincible Parlor, N. S. G. W., held its annual installation of officers on Monday evening. After the business of the parler had been transacted Financial Secretary Oscar Luedke announced that he had brought along some sundry hankees, whose contents the brothers were invited to investigate. Soon tables were arranged and ample justice met out to the excellent collation provided by Mr. Laudka. An hour or two was quite pleasantly passed in song and story, and when the brothers departed for their homes it was with the unanimous acclaim that their worthy Financial Secretary was deserving of as many thanks for the excellent repast furnished as he is entitled to honor and esteem for the meritorious conduct of his offices during the past four years. Malvern Hill Post, G. A. R., held its annual installation of officers on Saturday evening of last week. An enjoyable time was had listening to war-time miniseries, with which the evening was well taken up together with songs and other exercises.

Hardin Yager, County Clerk of San Bernardine county, died suddenly Saturday night. He came to this country nearly forty years ago. He was elected County Treasurer in 1865 and has held the office ever since and had just entered upon another term. He was elected without no other Republican could carry the county for any office. He was generally believed by all and enjoyed the title of Honore Old Hardin Yager and his death has cast a gloom on the city and county. The Supervisors meet to marrow in regular session and will probably select the successor. The Portuguese government has made a provisional contract with eight private persons, empowering them to form a company to work the port wine trade as a monopoly. All the wine produced in the country will be exported by this company, under a special mark to insure success. A subsidy of £3400 per annum is guaranteed by the company for five years, together with 6 per cent interest for thirty years on a capital of £220,-000. The concession has not yet paid the cortex. The wine trade at Operto protests vigorously and all other trades will join in the opposition. The results are that all businesses have stopped in the town and violence is threatened. A dispatch from Pomona says: The second petition praying the Legislature to pass Senator McCormick' bill for the format on of the new county of Pomona was sent to Sacramento today. It was signed by 863 taxpayers and voters. The sentiment throughout this biennial for the formulation of a new county is unanimous almost. The petition alms upon their doing public business in Los Angeles, thirty-fifteen and forty-six miles away, is very great and thus no large county as Los Angeles taxpayers have annually benefited from pay and benefit payments have occasionally been given in our next issue.
