The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Producers. THURSDAY ... SEPTEMBER 18, 1890. SHALL WE DISCUSK OUR DISTRICT NO: We are informed that there is a disposition among a few residents of our irrigation district to call a meeting for the purpose of taking steps to "abolish the district." One of the reasons urged is the misfire of our bond sale. So far as the refusal of the Directors to sell the bonds at 50 cents is concerned, we believe their action will meet with the cordial approval of our citizens generally. Our bonds should bring as much as those of any irrigation district in the State, and we believe, judging from the proceedings of the Tulare convention—fully referred to elsewhere in this issue—that our bonds will sell at par, or nearly so. We believe that any action at this time looking to anything like "abolishing" the district will be nothing short of suicidal. It will meet with the unanimous opposition of the people of the valley. To begin with, there is no law in existence at present by which such a procedure could be lawfully brought about. There is nothing in the Wright Act by which an irrigation district may be disorganized. Before anything of the sort could be accomplished, a legislative enactment would be necessary providing a course of procedure by which districts already organized could be dissolved. And the passage of such an Act in this State at this time is absolutely impossible. Even were a legal course for it prescribed, our people would vote it down with a greater degree of animosity than prevailed at the organization of the district. Supposing, for the sake of argument, that it were possible to disrupt the district, no contract already entered into by our Directors could be abrogated. The high price paid our lawyers has met with considerable disapproval, but their contract could not be abrogated with the dissolution of the district. All work in the engineer's department would be lost, and, worst of all, we would be thrown back into our old system of irrigation, which would envelop our valley in sackcloth and ashes forevermore. What would become of the hundreds of has granted a reduction of 10 percent. Los Angeles county's amendment, after half 10 per cent reduction, is $17,000,000 less than that of last year, while Orange county's amendment, after the same reduction, is $272,000 higher than it was last year. The State Board of Equalization should have granted as a 20 per cent reduction, instead as the reduction in the Los Angeles measure, as compared with that of last year, aggregates 21 per cent and over. In another column will be found a call, signed by a number of Republicans, making the Republicans of this precinct to assemble at the office of the irrigation district tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock for the purpose of nominating five delegates to the County Convention, the same to be voted for at the primary election of Saturday. Every good Republican in this precinct is invited to be present. The caucus is called so that a representative delegation of Republicans may be sent to the first straight-out Republican County Convention to be held in Orange county. Some little misapprehension exists as to the object of the meeting by Republicans not citizens of this precinct. The object is to nominate delegates from Anaheim. But all outlying precincts, should they desire to occupy the hall conjointly with us, for the purpose of nominating their delegations, will be cordially welcome. Let it be known, so that a full tournout may be present. All Republicans are welcome! The caucus is in the interest of no man, but for the good of the party. MR. PORTER'S REPORT. Anaheim's Delegate to the Tulare Irrigation Convention. Following is a copy of Mr. Porter's report to be submitted to the Board of Directors of the irrigation district at their meeting this morning. It will be found of interest: ANAHEIM, Cal., Sept. 15, 1890. To the Honorable Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District—GENTLEMEN: Having been appointed by you as a delegate to the Tulare Irrigation Convention, I herewith beg leave to submit a report of my actions in that body. I arrived at Tulare at 12:25 A.M. on the 11th instant, and commenced looking up delegates, but I found only a few in town. I began inquiry regarding their wishes; they wanted a State irrigation association formed; they thought we would have more influence by the move. I then drew some resolutions to be recom- Supposing, for the sake of argument, that it were possible to disrupt the district, no contract already entered into by our Directors could be abrogated. The high price paid our lawyers has met with considerable disapproval, but their contract could not be abrogated with the dissolution of the district. All work in the engineer’s department would be lost, and worst of all, we would be thrown back into our old system of irrigation, which would envelop our valley in sackcloth and ashes forevermore. What would become of the hundreds of acres sold in the irrigation district to desirable new comers, which tracts could not be irrigated by our old system? These lands have been set to trees. There is a very fine contemplation of the anarchy that would prevail among these people, and the rest of our citizens who have the good of the valley at heart, in the event of the district’s disintegration. To the half-dozen gentlemen who are unwise enough to counsel this ill-timed piece of insanity, we say: The Anaheim Irrigation District will never be disrupted. It will stand forever a monument to the wisdom and common sense of the people of this valley. Our expenses are too high, it is true. But the law under which we are working will be amended, and expenses will be materially curtailed. And we shall sell our bonds at figures approaching par. We learn that the objection will be ventilated at the meeting of the Board of Directors this morning. Those who take an interest in the irrigation district should make it a point to be present. Essex writer in this issue will be found the political announcement of Jacob Ross of Bala, who is a candidate for County Assessor, subject to the action of the Democratic County Convention. Judge Ross is qualified for the office. Eight years of experience in the details of assessing qualities him to control the assessment work of this county. Last year, when returning from the meeting of the State Board of Equalization at Sacramento, he visited Contra Costa county to inspect their method of assessment, which the State Board had highly commended. He approved of it very cordially, and subsequently our Board of Supervisors sent our present Assessor to Contra Costa to learn their method of assessment and to adopt the same in this county, if found acceptable. Assessor Simy returned heartily in favor of the plan, but, according to Ross, abandoned the system in two months. The county is out $2,000 in the attempt to introduce the new system here. The maps made for the use of the Assessor, to carry out the Contra Costa method of assessment, which is thorough, simple and accurate, are cast aside and unused. But the county had to pay for them just the same. Judge Ross will make the canvass on the success or failure of this system. If the State tax rate has been fixed at 57 cents, 15 cents less than last year's rate. The total valuation of property in the different counties of the State aggregates $1,060,380,924, of which San Francisco has upwards of $201, 000,000. Los Angeles is assessed $89,121, 610, and Orange county $9,018,748. On this assessment the State Board of Equalization A great many practical men want there to see the machinery work, but all were disappointed. I was told that J. B. Haggin of Bakerfield was using similar machinery, which is not true. I visited his ranch and saw the old plow that he used to make his ditches with. I was told by his foreman that it took forty yokes of oxen to pull the plow. Such things are of no use to us. Tulare and Kern counties have water enough to irrigate a half-dozen such counties as they are. There is one ditch that is one hundred feet wide on the bottom and has an average depth of five feet, running on a grade of four feet to the mile. Such is the capacity of the 76 canal belonging to the Tulare and Fresno Irrigation District. Tulare, Kern and Fresno counties have a fine crop of wheat this year. Thousands of tons are shipped from there by rail every week to San Francisco. The above-named counties are also stocked with fruit this year. I visited the large ranch of Page & Morton. It consists of penches, pears, apricot and prune trees and contains 1,200 acres. The crop this year will set the farm $108,000, or $90 an acre. There is not a fruit tree on the land eight years old. The trees are from three to six years old. They also have a large vineyard, and Mr. Morton assured us that there was a great many acres that would and had here fourteen tons to the acre. They are all raisin grapes—Seedless Saltanas and Mamans of Alexandria. There are 250 acres of them. All the soil assumed to be pretty strongly impregnated with alkali, but wheat and fruits seem to thrive there and give good returns. Corn does not yield so well; there is plenty of stalks with but very little corn. Water does not have the same effect on corn up there that it does in Orange county. The only cause that I could assign for the small crop was the excessive heat. It is not only warm up there, but it is just hot. Everybody up there is "blowing" about the climate and products. I did not tell them what I thought about their climate; there were too many of them. But I "got in" a pretty good one on products, and the opportunity none without making. The Tulare association ministers had a very nice display of fruit each day and we were invited to eat it, and serve. While eating fruit this year more than half of the fruits called our attention in a group of fair-grained pulpines that were unconfined HELTER, S WE HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY in securing the sole agency for CELEBRATED Self-Opening Corset.

California A Pioneer’s Experience With Hood’s Sarsaparilla. “I am a pioneer in this county, having been here 30 years. Four years ago my little son Ellery became Blood-poisoned by impure virus in vaccination. His arm swelled terribly, causing great agony; physicians raid the arm must be amputated, and even then his recovery would be doubtful. One day I read about a blood purifier, new to me, and was surprised to learn that it was prepared by C. L. Hood, with whom I used to go to school in Chelsea. Vt. I decided to have my boy try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and was much gratified when it seemed to help him. He continued to grow better as we gave him the Sarsaparilla, and having used 8 bottles is now entirely cured. As Hood’s Sarsaparilla has accomplished such wonderful results, I recommend it all I possibly can.” JEROME M. SLEEPER, Upper Lake, Lake Co., Cal. The City Treasurer Of Lowell, Mass., says: “The above is from my brother, whose signature I recognized. I am also glad to testify to the excellence of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and to say that C. L. Hood & Co. are considered one of the most reliable firms in New England.” VAN R. B. SLEEPER, City Treasurer, Lowell, Mass. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by druggists. $1; six for $4. Prepared only by C.

Wonders Are wrought by the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor for some time and it has worked wonders for me. I was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my head is perfectly clear of dandruff, the hair has ceased coming out, and I now have a good growth, of the same color as when I was a young woman. I can heartily recommend any one suffering from dandruff or loss of hair to use Ayer's Hair Vigor as a dressing." Mrs. Lydia O. Moody, East Pitinton, Me. "Some time ago my wife's hair began to come out quite freely. Ayer's Hair Vigor not only prevented my wife from becoming bald, but it also caused an entirely new growth of hair. I am ready to certify to this statement before a justice of the peace." H. Hainahen, Lewisham, Iowa. "Three years ago, after a severe attack of brain fever, my hair all came out. I need such preparations for restoring it as my physician ordered, but failed to produce a growth of hair. I then tried successively, several articles recommended by druglers, and all alike fell about of accomplishing the desired result. The last remedy I applied was Ayer's Hair Vigor, which brought a growth of hair in a few weeks. I think I need eight months in two years; more than seven or eight months as a residue, but I liked it as a cleansing, and have continued to use it for that purpose. I believe Ayer's Hair Vigor promised us far above those of any similar preparation now on the market." Yvonne James, Richmond, Ind.
