EVENTS OF THE WEEK. Great Prosperity Immediately Before Us. Centralia to Have a Hundred New settlers from the East—Improvement the Order of the May—More Fact in Relation to the Bound Issue. An Irrigator Writes Upon the Water Question Other News Items. The settlement of one hundred people on the Centralia colony tract, south of town, is one of the auspicious signs of the times. These people will shortly arrive from the East, having already contracted for transportation. Several have arrived already, and it is expected building will shortly begin. These people will of course add materially to the business done in Anaheim. As soon as our outlying lands shall be taken up for settlement, houses built and orchards laid out, we shall see the beginning of better times in the valley. The lands in Centralia are second to none in the State. All kinds of fruits may be made to thrive plentifully; the newcomers have only to pattern after the many beautiful farms that dot the neighborhood. The safe is not one for speculative purposes, but for settlement by home seekers from the East. By Christmas it is confidently expected that at least twenty-five dwellings will have been erected and the work of improvement actively begun. There is an abundance of splendid acreage property in our neighborhood lying idle at present. This land will be embraced in the new irrigation district, and it is fair to presume the major part of it will be occupied before the end of next year. The settlement of East-centralia is but a forerunner of the immigration to follow. Had our irrigation district been formed two years ago, a thousand families would at present be occupying happy homes throughout this valley where now nothing but cactus patches greet the eye. Another large colonization scheme is on foot, one which, if successfully carried out, will result in bringing hundreds of families here in the near future. The property is embraced in the irrigation district, and is improved. Influential capitalists have had agents here during the past week looking up bonds for settlement. Besides the last mentioned deal, of which we hope to speak more at length in a week or two, there is the colony of Dunkers who are about to settle on the reminiscence. Expensively worthy of note is that we claim to have the best water system, which claims is perfectly true in every particle. Not one dollar need we expand for experiment; no damage have we to lay dry or obtain water from, or to tunnel mountains to develop water. Everything is in sight; no haplazard experiments. Your writer believes that all this will be considered by capitalists and result in a more favorable sale of bonds. Our bonds at 6 per cent, if time bonds should bring a handome premium. Even if call bonds none 5 and 6 per cent ought to be obtained. What is in the bee and cry of high tax? First let us see our income from the water system, the A.U.W.Co., which is only now available or farmshares information. With our sparse population we paid some $8,000 for water in 1889; in 1889 we considerably increased it. Every inch since May has been sold and four times more could have been sold if we only had it. So it will be easily seen that by our improved water system and denser population we are enabled to sell for from $20,000 to $25,000 of water annually. This would leave but a small amount, to be met with by taxation as regards interest, but your writer holds the water sales will, with the perfected system owned by the people, fully cover all interest payment. The expenses of maintaining ditches will be considerably reduced by piping and cementing, the fearful waste of water now prevalent will be reduced to a minimum. Is it better to pay assessments on water stock or pay taxes? Your writer knows some five years past about $30,000 had to be raised and paid by assessments for damage to ditches in one year. Never can or will we be called on to pay such onerosa taxes under our new system, nor is it possible that when piped or cemented floods can do such damage again to the property of the district. Let us ponder over the cause. Why, with the best and cheapest water supply and the best lands in Southern California, other parts overstepped as why have we staid back; why are our lands, although of better quantity, lower in price than anywhere else? Is it not imperatively necessary that the most essential necessity, water supply, be owned by the people? Let the people see that they elect honorable and capable men as directors and nobody need have any apprehension for the future. I hardly think that there is a single voter or taxpayer who has the least doubt that the effect of the contemplated improvements will result in an increased tax valuation of the district. Your writer from careful observation can safely predict that many years before the first bond will have to be paid by the district its tax value will be increased for each $100,000 expended fully $1,000,000; or in other words our tax value will quadruple, or be about $8,000,600. A standstill is an impossibility in this age; either we progress or retrograde. Who wants SATURDAY'S ELECTION Potting Places and Lines The Board of Directors of the Irrigation District met in adjournment at its office in the parlor of Anaheim on Monday morning.

THE BOND ELECTION. Points for Voters to consider Air Irrigator Talks EDITOR GAZETTE... Is it known to any one that the creation of a local public indebtedness for the development of the most pressing or vital interest, equal in fact with existence or non-existence of a district, whore all the money was only expended for local improvements, and judiciously, has resulted disastrously? Your writer and all those he consulted have never heard of any! But ten thousand instances can be cited all over the country where, from the date of beginning of public improvements by the creation of a public debt, prosperity and growth dates. Now, let us consider the view some hold, that the creation of a bonded indebtedness is equal to a mortgage upon their land. Your writer cannot coincide with this; at least, but in the sense these persons argue it. True is that all property in the district is liable on the debt, but so is the county and State indebtedness; but I never heard that anybody argued that the bonded debt incurred for a courthouse, etc., was a mortgage individuals' land. Let us well consider that this indebtedness is not for a private loan or railroad or other enterprise, but to secure for the people that which is the lite and neww of this beautiful country of ours, for the people here forth to own, control, develop and manage. No more need we have any anxiety that hereafter our existence will be at the mercy of any combina-tion of land speculators or trusts, to gobble up that without which we cannot exist—our water supply. Let us see what is in the point that $800,000 is too high a sum. Let it be well understood that we cannot vote $300,000 or $400,000 to day and when we find that we are short in amount to sufficiently perfect water system, in twelve or twenty-four months another? $200,000 or $300,000 can be used. Of course we can vote them, but what capitalist would take them? They could not be sold at any price whatever. Is it therefore, not sensible to vote a sufficiently large to fulfill and perfect the people? Let the people see that they elect honorable and capable men as directors and nobody need have any apprehension for the future. I hardly think that there is a single voter or taxpayer who has the least doubt that the effect of the contemplated improvements will result in an increased tax valuation of the district. Your writer from careful observation can safely predict that many years before the first bond will have to be paid by the district its tax value will be increased for each $100,000 expended fully $1,000,000; or in other words our tax value will quadruple, or be about $8,000,600. A standstill is an impossibility in this age; either we progress or retrograde. Who wants the latter? Surely nobody. Let us all well ponder over it, and be sure that by our vote we do not start the progress of time or regard the development of our property and homes. Let us show our neighbors who have outgeneraled us in development that we coming up with the times; that we are ready and able to offer all and better inducements to newcomers than they have done or can do. Can this be done as long as the water question is unsettled and our system is in the hands of a corporation? Surely not. So why not vote for the bonds? A. Z. Experiment With Sugar Beets EDITOR GAZETTE... When we received our beet seed last spring, I concluded to try carefully in old vineyard land. I plowed the ground very deep, then planted a square place according to instructions 6x16 inches. Every seed germinated and I had a very good stand, after thinning them out and kept them clean of weeds. I packed the ground pretty tight on top to keep the sun and air out. This I ought not to have done. It must be kept very loose, but I did not know better. At the present time my beets polarize 16 per cent of sugar and would bring $5 per ton. The beets inside average 14 pounds or three beets to five pounds. On the outside row the beets are twice as large. I can raise sixty thousand beets of the same size on one acre. This would make one hundred thousand pounds or fifty tons to the acre. Now, take one-fourth off for loss by gophers or other pests and it would leave 37 tons to the acre, at $5 per ton, makes about $187 per acre. If I had kept my land more loose for the sun and air to enter the ground, my beets would have run up to 15 and 20 per cent, which would bring it up to over $200 per acre, a very fine income. It beets the vineyards. To have a sugar factory located here in Anaheim or this neighborhood, we must guarantee the owners a sufficient supply of water by day and night, and in order to do this it is very necessary to have the Tuffree reservoir enlarged and another reservoir, No. 4 which Engineer Wood's report contemplates, to get a sure supply of water all around. Some other improvements are necessary for this purpose. Can the A. U. W. Co. make these improvements? I believe not. Under the present management it is not possible. We owe so many parties little and big sums of money and once in a while some one needs his or her money. We then have to hunt for other capitalists. We are always in hot water. This will be avoided if we have the new district in operation and those bonds voted for day after-to-morrow. Then we will be able to make some improvements and will go ahead like all other communities around us. At present, we are far behind the Russians. Drummers Maligning the Country G. W. Burton of the Los Angeles Herald on his recent visit to Anaheim rode near two San Francisco drummers, who libelled this action in a shameful manner. One was an E. J. Pellegrin judges. Polla will be open one hour and will close at sunset. Vote for the bonds! PLACENTIA POINTS Farmers Mauling Their Market—Other Items EDITOR GAZETTE... Plenty of scarcity of local items has intruded our regular correspondence. The farmers are busy hauling corn, beans, wool and grapes; prices are low, a good deal of money brought into the country. D paid, necessary articles bought; money will keep a healthy move. We noticed two large, four-hundred loads of beans being hauled three times from Yorba to Los Angeles; merchandise returned. Upon teams can do the work cheap roads; we were informed that work for four cents a cwt. chas-giving employment to residents try and keeping the money at Santa Fe, don't let wagon freight cheaper than you can gather. Los Nietos nuts sold main Fruit Company for 7½ cents shell and 8½ cents a pound; nuts here have always brought price as the Los Nietos nuts. Ship from Placentia about two Los Nietos will ship 45 carloads many grapes and is turning them Mr. Wagner has a great many hauling from six to eight trucks d.rust of Anaheim. Prof. Dowlen, the vino expert Gabriel, will be here Wednesday minination of vines in this section. W. M. McFadden and Mr. F-box of Placentia dirt to Prof. H-amination to ascertain the necessity the ground needs to make a per-Reply has been received from or's clerk saying the box had the Professor was absent.

Hinton has been down inspecting his little ranch on farm. He is making it a ma-acres. It will make a pleasant able home for some ones who no-than he. Dan McFarland will plant thorn orange trees on his Kraeman pu-bonda carry. The bond business has not been much. It is understood that b-b position will be made. The thanks of all progressive to the Gazette for the noble which it has presented the in-vocated it. Pomological Society A grand rally of the fruit-grown county is called to meet Thursday, Oct. 3rd, at 10 A.m.; measures to greatly further their interests of this county. This and place of the regular meeting Angles County Pomological Society will come before D. Edson Smith, ``` Develop and manage. No more need we have any anxiety that hereafter our existence will be at the mercy of any combination of land speculators or trusts, to gobble that without which we cannot exist—our water supply. Let us see what is in the point that $600, too high a sum. Let it be well understood that we cannot vote $300,000 or $100,000 to-day and when we bind that we short in amount to sufficiently perfect for water system, in twelve or twenty four months another? $200,000 or $300,000 can be used. Of course we can vote them, but what capitalist would take them? They would not be sold at any price whatever. Is it therefore, not sensible to vote a man sufficiently large to fulfill and perfect that which is our want and need? Is it not better when we show by our action that we are acting intelligently and well considered all points; when capital making investment understands that we want as much as is needed for our purpose; that we have faith in our own enterprise; will we obtain a better price for our bonds than when we go only half and half? In there any one so stupid as to think that, for instance, we voted $400,000, or any sum amount, bonds would bring as much as when the investor knows that his money will perfect the object for which it is obtained! Now let us consider, at least in part, the formation of the loan. First comes the acquisition of the water system known as the Anaheim Union Water Company and the Yorbaa. This, at a rough press, which is now only possible, will require from $200,000 to $225,000. The A. U. W. Co. is willing to accept $160,000. Now, as the writer knows, nobody ever held that property was not fully worth it. Everybody in the least acquainted with the water system admits that to-day it could not be perfected or replaced for any amount, even $100,000 or $500,000. So, is it not a good deal, and in every point a sound investment for the district? Who will dare come forward and say that when by the purchase of the A. U. W. Co. at $160,000, the money was not judiciously expended, as the district gets full double value for it? But as regards the Yorbaa, your writer is not well acquainted to give an estimate or go details. That the courts will settle the case of it, is a generally considered view. It will be seen that the $180,000 will be discharged to our people, who so far, alone, have carried on the water system, to whom we owe our prosperity. This sum will stay such as fall in hands who know how to properly, and so will secure benefits seen in local developments. Everybody well understands that with the balance we want to pipe or cement ditches and build Drummers Maligning the Country G. W. Burton of the Los Angeles Herald on his receipt visit to Anaheim rode near two San Francisco drummers, who libelled this section in a shameful manner. One was an Italian "dago," representing a San Francisco cracker factory, and the other a Jewish cigar rustler. Both should be spotted. They were in this section on Monday, 16th instant. We reprint part of Dr. Burton's remarks: At least one of these blatant declamers went to Anaheim, and there he found a community where it was a rare thing to find a man who owes a dollar to any one, and where nearly every man has a bank account. He found nice cottages either just finished or being built. He found one handsome brick block just completed and another just begun. If he had gone to Max Nabelung, a man of his own race, he would have found him raising pampas plumes from which he would make $300 to $500 an acre. He would have found this enterprising and prosperous gentleman planting out ten acres of this grass, from which five years he will harvest 100,000 plumes, and receive $3,000 to $5,000 income. If he had gone to Captain Gade he would have been told that, while this citizen has been getting all summer long carload after carload of ice, all of which he has sold at a fair profit, he has not 25 cents on his books not paid. Mr. Gade would have told him that he has lived in Anaheim for years and done business all the time, and that he has not lost in bad debts in all that time the sixth part of one per cent of all he has done. If he had gone to the big Dreyfus winery his own to ansuan, Mr. Weglein of San Francisco, would tell him in spite of the vine disease he is crushing 600 tons of grape, all raised in and near the Old Colony." He might have learned further that the total grape crop of Anaheim this year will amount to 1,000 tons. All along the valley were all the evidences of a prosperity of a most universal character. All the farmers of the section are doing well. In all the valley it is safe to say that neither of these libelous drummers has any bad debts of any amount worthy of consideration. They will travel a year, and in it all they Pomological Society A grand rally of the fruit-grower county is called to meet Thursday, Oct. 3rd, at 10 A.m.; measures to greatly further their interests of this county.

EDITOR GAZETTE.—Plenty of work and a variety of local items has interfered with regular correspondence. The farmers are busy hauling off barley, on beans, wool and grapes. While the prices are low, a good deal of money will be brought into the country. Debt will be paid, necessary articles bought and the money will keep a healthy move on. We noticed two large, four-horse wagon loads of beans being hauled through Placentia from Yorba to Los Angeles, and loads of orchardise returned. Upon inquiry if it can do the work cheaper than railways, we were informed that they do the work for four cents a cwt. cheaper, besides employing employment to residents of the county and keeping the money at home. Mr. Tita Fo, don't let wagon teams haul tight cheaper than you can deliver it. The walnut crop will soon be ready to harvest. Los Nietos nuts sold to the German Fruit Company for 7½ cents for hard shell and 8½ cents for soft shell. Our here have always brought as good a price as the Los Nietos nuts.

A grand rally of the fruit-growers of Orange county is called to meet at Anaheim, Saturday, Oct. 3rd, at 10 A.M., to take measures to greatly further the pomeological interests of this county. This is the time and place of the regular meeting of the Los Angeles County Pomological Society. Important business will come before the meeting. D. Edson Smith, Secretary. —The ladies composing the Women's Relief Corps met at Odd Pellow's Hall on Saturday afternoon and elected the following officers: Mrs. Collins, President; Mrs. Honnison, Senior Vice; Mrs. McCallough, Junior Vice; Mrs. McDowell, Chaplain; Miss Jessie Witta, Treasurer; Mrs. Wm. White, Conductor; Mrs. Wood, Guard. The meeting adjourned until the arrival of Mrs. Friabe. —We have received the circular letter in regard to the traveling exhibit in the East to be known as Southern California on Wheels which the southern counties are preparing. Our citizens should confer with Major E.W. Jones of Los Angeles in respect to having Anaheim represented in the exhibit. We could materially add to its worth and great good would result to our section by so doing. —The speech of Colonial Ayara at the opening of the fair at Los Angeles on Monday evening was delivered with the usual finished eloquence of the scholarly orator. The Colonial's speech under the orange trees at Kimball's grove at National City, during the recent visit of the editorial association, was also, by the way, a particularly brilliant effort. —William Schumacher is sending up some excellent reed birls from the sea-shore. Yesterday he sent a large quantity of fish to the Los Angeles market. A few days ago he was given an involuntary bath, together with his son, their boat being capized by a breaker. Ducks, snipes and plover at the beginning of the season are prime-delicacies, and this year is not an exception to the rule. —We acknowledge the receipt of a large-sized quantity of literature from St. Louis, the latest aspirant for international fair honors. A: present there are New York, Chicago, Washington and St. Louis contesting for the honor, and Congress will decide which shall have the fair. So far Chicago seems to have made the best argument for it, and we should not be surprised to see it selected as the site. —The high wind of Tuesday succeeded in doing considerable damage in different sections. A large tree in the yard of the Presbyterian Church was blown down, doing on damage, however. It was reported yesterday that Sanford Johnson's large barns, now in course of erection on his farm south of town, were blown down. This will be a serious loss. In some unaccountable manner fire started at the Blanchard sheepcamp, south of town on Tuesday morning and in a short time destroyed the entire camp. Loss unknown. —Tuesday evening, from the balcony of the Planters' Hotel, the fire on the San Joquin ranch presented an awful-inspiring spectacle. The fire seemed to stretch from the mouth of the Santiago canyon southward toward San Juan Capistrano, covering the Aliso and Trabuco ranchos, and ranging over twenty miles of territory. The picnic grounds at Santiago are entirely destroyed and great quantities of hay, grain and feed on the San Joquin ranch were burned. No casualties are reported. Mrs. William Crowther died at Placentia on Saturday last, aged 47 years and 1 month. She had been suffering a long time with cancer of the stomach, and death came at last to relieve her. The deceased had lived in Anaheim for many years and was universally esteemed. Mr. Crowther and the four children have the sympathy of all in their affliction. Decased was buried on Monday afternoon and was followed to the grave by a large concourse of sorrowing friends.
