The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Memry Kuehel, Charles Kuehel, Estate and Provisions. THURSDAY MARCH 12, 1800 In another column will be found a copy of a petition to be presented to the Board of Supervisors at its next session, asking them to rescind its action in appointing a deputy District Attorney and creating the offices of Andrior and Tax Collector. The petition has already several hundred signatures, and it is anticipated that by next Monday one thousand voters will have signed it if given an opportunity. There is a deep-rooted opposition to the action of the Supervisors in creating these new office, and the people are speaking out in no uncertain tone regarding it. The petition recites the fact that, at the time of the appointment of Deputy District Attorney Ballard two weeks ago, the calendar of the Superior Court showed that there was but one criminal case set for trial during the present term. District Attorney Edwards receives a salary of $2,000, and yet he asks for a deputy at an additional cost of $200 per year. The petition further represents that the principal service rendered by the Sheriff has been in the collection of county taxes, so that, it seems to us, the separation of his office from that of Tax Collector, which he is now ex-officio, would be an act nothing short of criminal folly. Why these offices were created, in view of the facts related above, it would be difficult to conceive. If it was done to make room for an increased hard of public officers, the board are deserving of severest censures. To their absurd acts of stupidity, not to say of mannity or crime, which are even now involving the county in a lawsuit, they add the other insuperable offense of burdening the taxpayers with three new and altogether unnecessary offices. We have hitherto made complaint against the board: What do the people say of them now? Shall we have another board when election day comes round? The census of the county to be taken shortly, may, as claimed by some, show such an increase of population that the county class will be raised, perhaps necessitating the creation of the offices of Auditor and Tax Collector. The resolution of the supervisors in regard to these offices does not go into operation until November. Speaking of the recent change in the editorial management of an admitted Los Angeles contemporary; the Radlands Curegraph "heartily congratulates" the first named "on its present staff of writers—a staff that is not surpassed in this end of the State and equalled by only one." Of course Scriptio is too modest to say who that "one" is! The Modesto Irrigation District has just sold $400,000 of its bonds at 91 cents. This is a cent higher than any other sale of irrigation bonds. The rate is gradually rising, and the time will come when those bonds will sell above par. We should sell our bonds at least at 95.

Appropriate literary exercises by the school, and addresses by Messrs. Hansen, Dresses, McFadden and Pendleton were made. Tommie and Ralph McFadden distributed oranges to the school and those present, when school was dismissed and tree planting began. Loquate, Texas umbrella trees, English walnut, fan palms, Monterey pines, camphor trees, etc., were set out. In time the school grounds will be a thing of beauty. Tree planting is going off in fine shape. C.E. Hutton is having five acres of orange trees planted on the land purchased from the John Hartung place north of town, and Mr. Chapman five acres on his purchase on the same tract. There are also forty acres to be planted on the Botaford farm, thirty acres by Mr. Clocky on the McDowell place, thirty acres by Dan McFarland, ten acres by John Wagner, twenty acres by Mr. French, thirty acres by Thos. Strain, six acres by Mr. McFadden, three acres by Mr. Tomles, five acres on the calendar. At the most alarm day Mr. Edward will likely be required to step down and out.

Nevertheless, it will be policy to await the result of the census before submitting patiently to the absurdity of the board's anticipating it by several months. Let all the new offices be forthwith abolished: According to latest advice the滴水器 of the Yorbas to the petition of the irrigation district to issue bonds is based upon a general objection to about everything undertaken by the people in the organization of our irrigation district. They deny that the district was properly formed, deny that our citizens appeared before the Board of Supervisors with a petition praying for the formation of the district, as required by law; deny that the petition referred to was acted upon affirmatively, and that all other matters in connection with the formation of the district were done illegally. This platy, tudious flapdoodle may work well enough to extract fees from the Yorbas, but we opine that an intelligent judge will very soon sit down upon such rot. We rely upon Brun: son & Wilson to carry the case finally through the Superior Court to morrow. Tux San Francisco Wasp of March 8th contains a front-page cartoon representing the "Southern California Citrus belt." The picture shows Uncle Sam presenting the banner of victory to a charming young lady who represents Southern California. With his right hand the old man grasps firmly a good-sized valise filled with fine looking oranges. The valise is labeled "Los Angeles, San Bernardo, San Diego, Riverside, Pasadena, Anaheim," and we may infer that the fruit contained in the bag is from the localities noted. The fruit must be very fine if it compares with the superb specimens crowding out of the top of the valise, and which hang pendant in clusters of such magnificence that Uncle Sam's self-satisfied look is easily understood as he hands the young lady the trophy, inscribed, "The Hanner is Youra." The old man seems altogether indifferent to the whispered protest of the demon labeled "Florida," regaled with horns and tail after the fashion of real devils, and winging his flight so that he might reach the old man's car instanter. The whispered missed and tree planting began. Louisiana trees, English walnut, fan palmia, Monterey pines, camphor trees, etc., were set out. In time the school grounds will be a thing of beauty. Tree planting is going on in fine shape. C.E. Hutton is having five acres of orange trees planted on the land purchased from the John Hartung place north of town, and Mr. Chapman five acres on his purchase on the same tract. There are also forty acres to be planted on the Botaford farm, thirty acres by Mr. Chocky on the McDowell place, thirty acres by Dan McFarland, ten acres by John Wagner, twenty acres by Mr. French, thirty acres by Those, six acres by Mr. McFadden, three acres by Mr. Tombes, five acres by Mr. Gilman, two acres by Mr. Gresley, and other lots amounting all told to over two hundred acres or about 20,000 trees. The 15,000 that have been planted before, many of which are bearing will make Placentia one vast orange grove. Mr. McDowell has moved to Fullerton, having given possession of his place to the new owner. The beautiful orchard of northern fruits that Mr. McDowell had spent so many years in its culture have been removed to make room for the orange tree. Water for domestic purposes has become scarce in this community. Nearly all use cisterns, supplied from the ditch. There being no water for several months in the ditch, the cisterns have run low. Those who have wells and windmills have been supplying their neighbors, but the wind has lately gone back on them and the mills have refused to do their work. It is expected that there will be water in the ditches in a few days again. The corn planters will be put to work in a few days. The bean planter has already been at work on the Littlefield ranch. Many hundreds of acres of corn will be planted this month. The ground has been so thoroughly soaked by winter rains that but little if any irrigation will be required to make a crop. On account of the immense receipts of Mediterranean oranges in New York, which have been shipped to every town, village and hamlet in the United States, the price has been so reduced that our shippers cannot ship unless at a loss; hence a full in the orange shipments from here. Three thousand carloads, or a quantity equal to the whole California crop, arrive in New York in a single week. Don't it look like as if a little protection by a tariff would be as good for the orange growers of California as for the Eastern manufacturer? Yet we see by the paper last week that the New York importers of oranges and raisins have been before a committee of Congress, advocating a reduction of the tariff and have succeeded in getting an agreement for no increase in the tariff. There is no protection for the agriculturist. BORKA. Against the New Officers. The following petition is being signed by every voter hereabouts to whom it is presented. It will be sent to the Board of Supervisors in time for consideration at its session next Monday: To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors of Orange county, California: The undersigned, citizenz and residents of the county of Orange, would most respectfully request that your honorable body rescind the action taken on the 3d day of March, 1890, whereby an Assistant District Attorney was appointed and his salary fixed in the sum of $50 per month, and also the resolutions of said board separating the offices of Tax Collector from that of Sheriff, and separating the office of County Auditor from that of Recorder.

The fruit must be very fine if it compares with the superb specimens crowding out of the top of the valise, and which hang pendant in clusters of such magnificence that Uncle Sam's self-satisfied look is easily understood as he hands the young lady the trophy, inscribed: "The Banner is Youra." The old man seems altogether indifferent to the whispered protest of the demon labeled "Florida," regaled with horns and tail after the fashion of real devils, and winging his flight so that he might reach the old man's car instanter. The whispered objurgation goes for naught. The cute little demon holds in his hand a burning brand, in the rising smoke of which the word "Jealousy" is deciphered. But he comes too late if indeed his coming at any time could influence such sensible old fellow as Uncle Sam is here made out to be—and the young lady already has her fingers upon the emblem. Need we think she will let go of it? The jealous little demon is unnoticed, the young lady is intent on receiving the trophy, and Uncle is determined she shall have it—which she is undoubtedly entitled to, if the old man really has Anaheim oranges along with the rest in the bag. To morrow the demurrer to the petition of our irrigation district comes up for final hearing before the Superior Court at Santa Ana. This will probably be the last hearing of the case in the lower court. If the case should be appealed to the Supreme Court a hearing cannot be expected before next October at the earliest. There is no question, however, as to what the Supreme Court's decision will be, as the court has uniformly decided in favor of the irrigation districts throughout the State in all matters appealed to them for adjudication. We shall win the case in the Superior Court, and I am appeal be taken to the Supreme Court, we shall also win it there. So far as the appointment of a deputy District Attorney is concerned there is a prevalent notion that Mr. Edwards is not the man for the place he holds. It is plain that no deputy should be required by the District Attorney when but a single criminal sentenced. It will be sent to the Board of Supervisors in time for consideration at its session next Monday: To the Honorable the Board of Supervisors of Orange county, California: The undersigned, citizens and residents of the county of Orange, would respectfully request that your honorable body rescind the action taken on the 3d day of March, 1890, whereby an Assistant District Attorney was appointed and his salary fixed in the sum of $50 per month, and also the resolutions of said board separating the offices of Tax Collector from that of Sheriff, and separating the office of County Auditor from that of Recorder. And as reasons for the rescinding of the aforesaid acts of said board, we would most respectfully call the attention of your honorably body to the following facts: (1) On the day that said action was taken and said Assistant District Attorney appointed, the calendar of the Superior Court of the county of Orange was called and there was but one criminal case set for trial during the present session of the Superior Court. (2) The present District Attorney receives as salary $2,000 per annum and we would most respectfully submit that said compensation is ample for the work and services rendered by the District Attorney in the discharge of his official duties. (3) We would most respectfully represent that the services of said District Attorney are not so burdensome and onerous but they could be efficiently discharged by the present incumbent without putting the county to the expense of an assistant at a further salary of $600 per year. (4) That an economical administration of our county affairs would suggest and require that your honorable body permit the offices to remain as fixed by the bill creating the county of Orange, and that public interest will not be subserved by the creation of new offices. In this connection we would call your attention to the fact that the fees paid into the county treasury as carried by the Sheriff of the county will amount to but a small sum compared with the salary which said Sheriff draws from the county treasury, and that the principal and main services rendered by the Sheriff have been in the collection of county taxes. We therefore most respectfully ask the board to rescind the action hereinbefore referred to and we ask this as citizens and taxpayers of the county of Orange in the interest of an economical administration of our county.

Seventy-five thousand dollars is divided among relatives; $25,000 is given for a public fountain in San Francisco; $20,000 for a Catholic orphan asylum in Maria county, and a like sum to the Roman Catholic orphan asylum in San Francisco. One hundred thousand dollars goes to the archbishop of San Francisco to be divided among the Catholic charitable institutions of San Francisco. His wife having previously been provided for, the deceased left her nothing. The residue of his estate is to be applied to the purchase of a spitable piece of land in San Francisco, and the erection theron of a home for aged men and women, with a fund for the endowment of the same. Another cave-in at the Water Works. Repairs at the cave-in at the water works began last Thursday. A new casement is being constructed about the well-pit. When the workmen went to the scene of operations yesterday morning it was discovered that another cave-in had occurred on the previous evening, necessitating a large amount of additional work and throwing the workmen back.

It was one of the most dismal cities on earth on record. The oldest resident of this video is vulnerable, silver haired Jack Watts, who has just turned his life year.

If you had here here, for if you lived ever so many lives you would not forget that awful night through all eternity," said he, and the murky old man's voice quivered as he paused to clear his throat, and his eyes glistened as though they smarted with the salty moisture of a gathering tear. "Well, sir," he continued, "you remarked that this was a stormy night when you came in. Pahaw! this is nothing. Sure there is a bit of a storm brewing and a rather stiff brow, but nothing worth noticing. Look out a bit." And as he opened the door a gust of wind extinguished the lamp on the table, leaving the room in total darkness. THAT DARK STREAK. We walked out toward the bluff. The air was marky, raw, and growing bitter cold. Eighty feet below the waves dashed against the rocks, pounding like some enormous sledge hammer, with a noise like distant thunder, and causing the ledge under our feet to vibrate with each blow.

We had reached near the very edge of the bluff—as far as it was safe to go—when my companion pressed my arm and paused.

Santa Ana Blade. The Board of Supervisors of Orange county are evidently laboring to create several "soft" places for their friends. First, they give the District Attorney a deputy, and allow deputy a fair salary, notwithstanding it is a fact that the District Attorney is receiving a good salary to do the legal work of the county, and for that salary he has but little to do. Then they separate the office of Sheriff and Tax Collector into two offices, and the office of Recorder and Auditor into two offices, and say that the people shall elect a Sheriff, a Tax Collector, a Recorder, and an Auditor at the election next fall.

It is called that name because the reef is like a set of big saws; the sharp rocks hold a vessel that runs on them, and sometimes the sea has beaten and pounded and shook the wrecks, very much as a cradle is rocked, until they are torn to pieces. "Nine have lost there during my time. But that was not the luck of the Atlantic, which was too firmly set in the rocks to be moved, and the waves pounded and broke her in two, and after awhile tore her to pieces. But that night set in hard. It was cold—bitter cold—and the sun went down in a blind snow storm, and the wind blew every way with a force that was awful; then came sleet and hail that cut your very clothes and drew blood wherever it struck your flesh. All the time the wind was rising and the air was getting more bitterly cold. It was so cold that the air seemed to sting you, and the wind would whirl you around almost off your feet; it whistled and howled and screached with a frightful noise. I says to my pious old woman: 'Mary Ann, it does seem as though hell itself had been let loose to night.' And says she to me: 'Jimmie, I believe it is—but—Jimmie—hark!' and she and I ran to the window and looked out and listened. "Well, with all that unearthly uproar of the tempest you could not hear much else, yet we did hear a faint 'boom,' like the sound of a cannon; in a minute or two we saw a streak of fire shooting up through the snow and hall and then we knew that the Devil's Cradle had, or would have another wreck: 'God help the poor souls!' I cried, and Mary Ann went down on her knees and prayed for them and the poor lad of ours—our boy Jamie—who we thought was on an East India merchantman. But—beautiful though!" And the one man's voice was choked into silence. JAMIE'S SURPRISE. "Well, sir," he resumed, "the wife put on a boiler of water and I put wood to the fire. We always do when we think we may have good use for it; if some are rescued. Then I ran out in the storm. I was a good bit of a strong man then, sir, but I could hardly stand up in that gala. It blew with awful force, and one could not see ten feet away, yet I pushed on to just about where we are standing. Another rocket shot up, and its track of fire disclosed an awful sight. It was all in a minute, and I had to strain my eyes and look under the peak of my hat through the blinding storm. There was a great, big splendid ocean steamship driven over the outer edge of the roof; the waves looked as though whole bottom of the ocean had violently heaved them up; they were actually like mountains, and they lifted that huge steamship up and let it down, bumping over those jagged points of flinty rock. "Then all was pitchy darkness again, and although I could not see anything I kept my eyes in the same direction. In a few minutes another rocket shot up, and again I saw that noble vessel lifted up almost out of the water by a mighty wave; astern it seemed caught and pivoted on one great point of rock; then it was wheeled around, and as the waters receded the bare, rough rocks seemed like a huge jaw down into and upon which The Public Crib.
