The Weekly Gazette. ISSUE EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Producers. THURSDAY OCTOBER 9, 1870 The sale of our irrigation bonds, which our people believed would be effected by Judge Wilson at the meeting of the Directors of the irrigation district on Tuesday, is again deferred. Judge Wilson was positive he would be able to sell them satisfactorily, as reported in these columns three weeks ago. His failure to do so is surprising, to say the least, in view of his positive declaration of three weeks ago. The bond sale will be advertised, and proposals for the purchase opened in about six weeks from this date. The work of the district moves slowly, and heavy expenses are running on all the time. In our advertising column this morning will be found a call to the delegates of the recent Republican County Convention residing in this district to meet at Kroeger's Hall to morrow evening for the purpose of nominating candidates for Constables, Justices of the Peace and Roadmasters for the several townships and road districts in this Supervisor district. We question whether the delegates were elected for this purpose. We doubt whether Republicans will be bound by its action. Certainly no inferior man can claim his party vote by having the mantle of the caucus nomination thrown over him. The Democratic Convention met at Santa Ana on Saturday and nominated a county ticket composed of good material. K. H. Keith and Adolph Rumpan of Anaheim were nominated for Treasurer and Clerk respectively. Mr. Rumpan, however, has refused to accept of the nomination, his business interests requiring his undivided attention. His party can ill afford to lose the strength which his candidacy would naturally give the ticket. He is one of our representative business men, a life-long Democrat, an errant party worker, and his popularity is commensurate with his sterling worth. Col. Keith is a gentleman who has longing of friends wherever he is known, is of tip-top political timber and will poll a heavy vote in this district. The other candidates are in the main plan of standing and popularity, notably Townner for Judge, Ross for Asseason, and Lucy for Sheriff. THE IRRIGATION DISTRICT. Barrence of 6412,579 in the Amendment Bell During the Year. The Board of Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District met at their office in regular session on Tuesday morning. Present, Directors Korn, Spencer, Crowther and Yorba. Absent, Greeley, resigned. The Secretary read the minutes of all meetings held since September 2d. The minutes of the several sessions of the Board of Equalization were also read. The minutes were approved. The Secretary read the report of the Collector, showing collections amounting to $2.95 during the month of September. The Treasurer submitted the following report: Cash on hand September 1st Deposited by Collector Total Paid on warrants Balance on hand October 6th The Engineer stated that all surveys of the ditches for the district were completed. Letters from several Eastern bond buyers were received, asking what was being paid for our irrigation bonds, and who were buying them; the questions being improper, not to say impertinent, they were ordered filed and no answer sent them. Judge Wilson stated, in reference to the sale of the bonds, that it would be necessary to advertise the sale again. As it had been understood that the Judge would have propositions ready for the purchase of the bonds, the fact that it would be necessary to advertise their sale was surprising not to say disappointing. It was agreed to advertise for thirty days. Judge Wilson stated that he would have two propositions for the purchase of the bonds at the end of that time, and perhaps several more. Frank By appeared and stated that he had been negotiating for the sale of the bonds. As he had unaltered the bonds would be sold by Judge Wilson, he had given up the attempt to make a sale. He asked for further information and will make an attempt on behalf of San Francisco capitalists, to place the bonds satisfactorily. In reference to the tax levy, it was found that the assessment roll of the district is not quite complete. The report of the State Board of Equalization on the valuation of the Southern Pacific and Southern California railroads has not been received; consequently the tax levy cannot be made. It is no His party can ill afford to lose the strength which his candidacy would naturally give the ticket. He is one of our representative business men, a life-long Democrat, an earnest party worker, and his popularity is commensurate with his sterling worth. Col. Keith is a gentleman who has longing of friends wherever he is known, is of tip-top political timber and will poll a heavy vote in this district. The other candidates are in the main plan of standing and popularity, notably Towner for Judge, Ross for Assistant, and Lucy for Sheriff. The Democrats have altogether about the best ticket they could put before the people. The convention was harmonious and the delegates enthusiastic. The Democracy will make a hard fight to obtain control of the county offices. The Republicans cannot beat them by inactivity; the Democrats cannot be beaten except by vigorous and earnest work during the short campaign except by a hard and a long pull all along the Republican line. Mr. Kumpan desires us to say that he feels deeply grateful to the convention for the honor conferred upon him, but that his acceptance of the nomination is out of the question. His business here demands his whole attention. He cannot sacrifice his business to enter politics. In view of this fact the Democratic County Central Committee should call themselves together and make another nomination. Since the above was placed in type we learn that the name of Walter Tedford of Santa Ana has been substituted for that of Mr. Kumpan. Tux Democrats of this Supervisor district have nominated Mr. Louis Schorn for Supervisor. It was understood at Santa Ana on Saturday, when the nomination was made, that an opinion had been received from the Attorney General to the effect that Mr. Littlefield's term of office would expire in January along with the other members of the Board of Supervisors. Nothing definite is known, however, of this decision. It is probable the question will come up for discussion in the Board of Supervisors at their meeting today. If an opinion has been received from the Attorney General it will probably be made known. Both Mr. Littlefield and Mr. Schorn are men of standing in this community, and each is worthy the undivided support of his party. The Board of Supervisors have fixed the tax rate for Orange county at $1 75 on the $160 of taxable property, as follows: Current Expenses, .25; Salary Fund, .18; School Fund, .25; Road Fund, .25; Hospital Fund, .04; Debt to Los Angeles county, .20; State Fund, .58; Total, $1 75. No road tax being levied within the corporate limits of cities, our tax rate will thus be $1 50. To this must be added a special school tax of 7 cents for the Anaheim school district, making the tax rate to those within the corporate limits of the city, $1 57 on the bonds at the end of that time, and perhaps several more. Frank Ey appeared and stated that he had been negotiating for the sale of the bonds. As he had unilaterally the bonds would be sold by Judge Wilson, he had given up the attempt to make a sale. He asked for further information and will make an attempt, on behalf of San Francisco capitalists, to place the bonds satisfactorily. In reference to the tax levy, it was found that the assessment roll of the district is not quite complete. The report of the State Board of Equalization on the valuation of the Southern Pacific and Southern California Railroads has not been received; consequently the tax levy cannot be made. It is necessary, however, according to law, to make the levy before November 1st. The total valuation of the property of the district, exclusive of the railroads, is $1,047,-196. Last year's railroad assessment was: Southern Pacific, $77,959; Southern California, $88,396. These items added to the first amount give $1,213,541. Last year's total assessment aggregated $1,626,579. There is thus a falling off of $412,579 in the assessment of the district as compared with that of last year. Judge Wilson stated that he desired to compile a small pamphlet giving bond purchasers all information regarding the area, population, wealth, products, etc., of the district. The request was granted, and the copy for the pamphlet will be submitted to the board at an adjourned meeting to be held on October 21st. The Judge also stated that he had interviewed S. M. White in regard to the Yorba abstract of title, which it is desired to use in the condemnation suit of the district against the Yorbas. Mr. White was so busy, the Judge said, that he could not inform him as to the exact nature of the abstract in question. At this juncture Geo. E. Harpham representing the Los Angeles Abstract Company, who had been sitting in the ball reading and altogether unnoticed, came forward and introduced himself and said that his company could furnish a certificate of title to all lands in the Yorba district for $100. As the Yorba ask $50 for the use of their abstract, this declaration of Mr. Harpham was no apser to the Directors. The gentleman was present by invitation of Judge Wilson, who recommended his services to the board. He stated that his company could furnish an abstract of title to all property in the irrigation district now sought to be condemned, or which it might be found necessary to condemn in the next three years, for from $3 to $10 per tract; or at $5 per tract for the whole lot. It is impossible to say how many tracts would be gone over, but as it is necessary to get a certificate of title to all properties that align the ditches, it will be seen that there will be a great number of them. There will probably be in the neighborhood of 200. Mr. Harpham further stated that his company would do the work in bulk for $1,000, and later, when he had examined Engineer Kallogg's maps, he offered to do the work for $750 if he could have the use of the maps, the same to be returned to the district after the abstraction. After a lengthy discussion, in which all the Directors agreed that the price was very high, the matter was terminated by the prevalence of a motion to the effect that the President and Engineer repair to Los Angeles and Santa Ana and procure bids for the work from the abstract companies located in those cities. It is thought the work can be done for less than $300. After the disposition of this part of day's business Mr. Harpham left for Santa Ana. The Board of Supervisors have fixed the tax rate for Orange county at $1 75 on the $160 of taxable property, as follows: Current Expenses, .25; Salary Fund, .18; School Fund, .25; Road Fund, .25; Hospital Fund, .04; Debt to Los Angeles county, .20; State Fund, .58; Total, $1 75. No road tax being levied within the corporate limits of cities, our tax rate will thus be $1 50. To this must be added a special school tax of 7 cents for the Anaheim school district, making the tax rate to those within the corporate limits of the city, $1 57 on the $100. Centralia has a special school tax of 15 cents, Fullerton 50 cents and Placentia 11 cents. Last year's tax rate was $1 60 in the county, and $1 40 in cities. As our assessment roll has grown by over $325,000 during the year, and our tax rate is increased by 6 cents, we shall have a plenty of money in the Treasury to pay the increased number of our county officials. The nomination of A. Guy Smith of Tustin for the Assembly gives satisfaction to the Republicans of Anaheim. Mr. Smith is a man of clean record and will honor his constituents should he be elected to the Assembly. He lived in Anaheim for many years, and is universally respected as an upright and honorable business man. Guy Smith is good enough for us. The nomination of Con Howe of Pomona for Auditor by the Republican County Convention of Los Angeles is very gratifying to the hundreds of friends of that gentleman in this district. He was for many years an honored and respected citizen of Garden Grove. The temptation to slip over the dividing line between Orange and Los Angeles counties, and put in a surreptitious vote for Con, is strong in the breasts of his old-time friends. The McKinley tariff bill is now in force. Judging from the exciting incidents attending the efforts of Eastern importers to secure advantage of the old tariff rates, fortunes must have been staked on the result. One of the most remarkable rants across the Atlantic was that of the Sparedam, which called from Rotterdam with 6,600 bales of Sematra leaf tobacco assigned to a New York syndicate. Her cargo was valued at $1,000, and later, when he had examined Engineer Kellogg's maps, he offered to do the work for $750 if he could have the use of the maps, the same to be returned to the district after the abstracting. After a lengthy discussion, in which all the Directors agreed that the price was very high, the matter was terminated by the prevalence of a motion to the effect that the President and Engineer repair to Los Angeles and Santa Ana and procure bids for the work from the abstract companies located in those cities. It is thought the work can be done for less than $300. After the disposition of this part of the day's business Mr. Harpham left for Santa Ana. The employment of J. D. Schuyler as consulting engineer of the district was deferred to the next meeting. The following bills were approved and ordered paid: H. C. Kellogg, geological survey ... $13 25 H. C.

The Problem Solved—An Unrivaled Blood Purifier. Found at last in Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup—a remedy which expels all poisonous matter and taints of disease from the blood. A well known citizen of West Lebanon, Ind., testifies to its value: GENTLEMEN: It affords me pleasure to state that my wife has received greater benefit from Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup than from any medicine she has ever taken. We have used six bottles, and find it to be the best family remedy and the greatest blood purifier that we have ever used. It is truly all it is claimed to be by its founder. You cannot recommend it too highly. Years ago Frank Wallace West Lebanon, Ind., read by D. W. Hunt. Prepared only by The Charles Wright Medical Company, Detroit, Mich. IN DISTRICT.

Wear late summer wear. On Thursday, the Marshall Agricultural Association begins at Los Angeles. It will understand and all previous efforts of the association will be a welcome and in many aspects. In the first place, the exhibit will be inaugurated good. Mr. Younger has reserved stalls for her Darhams that were the blue ribbon in the recent State Fair at Sacramento. Migrator and Humain, of Lywood, will exhibit their Gannays recently imported from Long Island. The thoroughgather department will be the best ever seen in these parts. Many improvements have been made at the grounds. Catle shades have been erected and a poultry pavilion has just been constructed. The racing will be first-class this year. The hunt horses in the State will struggle for supremacy. Such snake mice hang on Conrad, Race, Larriane, Ollette, Carmen, Raindrop, Marigold, Peri, Zingerella, Kilda, Minnet, Sid and forty others will sport milk during the week. Many attractive ferns have been secured. There will be a balloon ascension and parachute jump during the week. The indian equitation tournament is set for Thursday. There will also be pony and galloway race. The grand stock parade will take place Thursday afternoon. An especially fine programme has been arranged for the opening day on Tuesday. The horticultural and agricultural display takes place at the Chamber of Commerce. Superintendent Wiggins reports that the exhibition will be well worth a visit, and as the admission fee has been placed at twenty-five cents, there should be an enormous crowd in attendance every day. The admission fee to Agricultural Park is fifty cents. Meine's celebrated band has been engaged to give a concert every afternoon and evening. Arrangements have been made to handle the thousands of sight-sayers who will flock into Los Angeles next week. The railroad have made a two-thirds rate from all points. Altogether, the fair next week will be the grandest ever seen in Southern California. EDITOR GAZETTE.-At a recent gathering of the American Social Science Association at Saratoga Springs, N.Y., an able paper was read on the Trade School System by Col. R. T. Auchmuty. No article that was presented to the consideration of that learned assemblage received greater attention and applause. Indeed few subjects concern the weal of the American people more than this matter of Trade Schools. The improved curriculum of our Universities and Colleges, and the addition of entirely new studies and schools, such as, for example, relate to Art studies, Architecture, Mechanics, etc., are suggesting more and more the need and advantage of Trade Schools, such schools as shall embrace exclusively the thorough study of art and science as applied to mechanics. It is not proposed that Trade Schools shall supplant the workshop, no; but that they shall precede them. Olive Milling Company. The Board of City Farmers and proprietors in regular motion. The interest of the hour and the essential condition of the admissibility of their admissions if they may not call full report of the meeting be deferred until our next issue.

We wish the farmers of Orange county to know through the medium of your paper something of what we are doing, and whatever we can do in the way of sales enables us to purchase of them what they have to sell. From the records of the ports of Redlands, San Pedro, San Diego, Ventura and Newport, up to this p.m., since the 15th inst., we have shipped more corn than all the rented Southern California combined, and as our entire shipments (except three cases to Los Angeles) have gone to the Sandwich Islands, it has the tendency to keep the price of corn in San Francisco higher than it would be; bed we throw our shipments onto that market. We also ship from San Diego by next Thursday's steam 600 barrels of flour. We have also secured the contract for furnishing the U.S. A Posts in Arimina, New Maxima and part of California with cereals, and the Soldier's Home at Santa Monica with flour, cereals and graham. This, with our foreign contracts, enables us to pay the farmers the highest market prices for their corn and wheat. Yours truly, OLIVE MILLING COMPANY. Pensna.

NEW ADVERTISEMENT The Druggist In Lowell, Mass., agree in my saying that more of Hood's Saraparilla than of blood purifiers. For instance: F.C.

It cannot, therefore, be stated too emphatically, nor repeated too often, that all who are in need of a genuine Blood-purifier should be sure and ask for PUBLIC SAFETY DEMANDS That only honest and reliable medicines should be placed upon the market. It cannot, therefore, be stated too emphatically, nor repeated too often, that all who are in need of a genuine Blood-purifier should be sure and ask for Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Your life, or that of some one near and dear to you, may depend on the use of this well-approved remedy in preference to any other preparation of similar name. It is compounded of Honduras sarsaparilla (the variety most rich in curative properties), stillingia, mandrake, yellow dock, and the lodides. The process of manufacture is original, skilful, acupulously clean, and such as to secure the very best medicinal qualities of each ingredient. This medicine is not boiled nor heated, and is, therefore, not a decoction; but it is a compound extract, obtained by a method exclusively our own, of the best and most powerful alternatives, tonics, and diuretics known to pharmacy. For the last forty years, Ayer's Sarsaparilla has been the standard blood-purifier of the world—no other approaching it in popular confidence or universal demand. In formula is approved by the leading physicians and druggists. Being pure and highly concentrated, it is the most economical of any possible blood medicine. Every purchaser of Sarsaparilla should insist upon having this preparation and see that each bottle bears the well-known name of J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass. In every quarter of the globe Ayer's sun-scarpella is grown to be the best remedy for all diseases of the blood. Lowell droughts make it unbearable to the major communities of this province and so its great popularity in the city of the manufacture. Ayer's Sarsaparilla MR. J. C.
