The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchal, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... JANUARY 1, 1891. HAPPY NEW YEAR. The bell which last night tolled the knell of the departing year ushers us into the threshold of another cycle of time. Another year is before us, with its hopes and fears, ambitions, doubts, aspirations and perplexities. The year which is past has had ample reward in store for honest endeavor, and many things connected with it are destined long to be remembered. That the new year may be as generous as the old is a large enough wish for a single day. This is the day not only for memory and for tears, as the poet has it, but also one by custom's usage set apart for the formation of resolutions wise and good, and the turning over of new leaves in the luminous book of life. The race which comes with civilization begins to-day. May all good people who start with us be spared to reach their goal at the end of the year without perplexity. To those ladies and gentlemen whose pens have at different times been taken up with great regularity for the enlightenment of our readers—to our worthy and esteemed correspondents—we make our politest bow. May especial blessings be thrown across their pathway during the coming year, and may we hear from them again, and often. We shall need their assistance in future, for we shall strive to maintain for this journal that high plane which it has been its good fortune to occupy in the past. We shall print a paper for the people, filled with news of interest. As in the past, we shall during the coming year print everything that is new, clean, true and interesting. And we want our correspondents to help us out. To all of our patrons, here and elsewhere, we return thanks for their distinguished consideration during the year—which we hope to merit in the future. May business be good with them, and each and all of them roll up fat bank accounts. To all of our readers throughout the valley, and in different portions of this and of an important event in the history of the association, and Dr. Spencer should be there, pentail coat or not. The old Los Angeles courthouse was sold at public auction on Saturday, in obedience to the mandate of the Court. Silas Holman, formerly of this city, bid the property in for a syndicate of Boston capitalists, the price being $100,500. The building is a relic of "ank dacency," having been built in 1859, and is known of all men. The purchasers have given a Los Angeles syndicate an option on the property at an advance of $10,000. The latter syndicate, it is understood, desire to tender the property to the Government for a postoffice site, the members of the syndicate having property interests; tending to apogee, in that part of the city, which the Postoffice located near, would tend to stiffen in moket value and resultant rental. We are in receipt of a beautifully illustrated little book, issued as an advertisement by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and designed to attract immigration to our shores. It is entitled "West by South, Half South," the pretty title being suggested by the line of the Sousset route across the continent, starting at Newport News, thence "west by south" to New Orleans and thence "half-south" to points in California. The interesting little volume is an exquisite bit of art work. Filled with sketches of Southern bayou, Lake Ponchatrain, cotton levees and cane plantations, scenes in Mexico "over the boundary," on the line of the Mexican International Railway, and along the Rio Grande, in El Paso, Arizona and finally familiar places in California, one threads along the Sousset route and sees the lovely scenes passing like a panorama before him. The California scenes embrace cuts of the Coronado Palace and other hotels, the Yosemite, Riverside orange orchards, etc. The letter press is artistic and unique. A very acceptable little gift, the receipt of which is acknowledged with thanks. The Ontario Observer has interviewed Richard Gird on the Anaheim and Chino Railroad, and prints the following very interesting item: In an interview with Richard Gird we were assured to occupy in the past. We shall print a paper for the people, filled with news of interest. As in the past, we shall during the coming year print everything that is new, clean, true and interesting. And we want our correspondents to help us out. To all of our patrons, here and elsewhere, we return thanks for their distinguished consideration during the year—which we hope to merit in the future. May business be good with them, and each and all of them roll up fat bank accounts. To all of our readers throughout the valley, and in different portions of this and of other States, and to that small but appreciated contingent in foreign lands residing, we send greeting on this auspicious day, and wish them all A Happy New Year! Our grave and patriarchal friend, Hiram Hamilton of Orange, bug commissioner, we are pleased to observe continues his deadly onslaughts (in the newspapers) against the hated family of citrus belt scale pests. Mr. Hamilton's last "danger signal" ends with the objurgation, "all papers in this county please copy." As the envious papers of San Jacinto and the other counties of the citrus belt south are thus deprived of the favors of copyright, and the papers of this county do not seem to accept of them, we proceed forthwith to make the following " scoop" on the whole lot, eliminating everything of interest in the "signal" previously appearing in these columns, and suppressing that possessed of none: The Horticultural Commissioners (so might the report have been written having been called to Passaonia to look at peach trees said to be infected with "yellows," they fertility repaired to the scene of the encounter, and after inspection, mature deliberation and reflection the Commissioners hereby sign themselves as being unanimously of the opinion that they are, each and every one of them, totally dingested if they know what alls them—the trees, not the Commissioners. Taken under advisement. All learned. Mr. Hamilton continues: It is in vain to appeal to the railroads for co-operation on this line since the grand consolidation under Jay Gould. As against them we appeal to the Farmers' Alliances and kindred organizations. [And the rest of it.] What under heaven the despised railroads have to do with scale pests, and the yellowls is something that Mr. Hamilton is himself privileged to know. With usual can-do we give it up. How the Farmers' Alliance may come to our assistance is also somewhat otherwise than clear. The only way out of the difficulty, that we are permitted to see at this writing, is to nominate Mr. Hamilton for Congress, which we proceed at once to do, based upon the promise that his "danger signals," having at last effected their purpose, will forthwith be discontinued. The thing against our grave and patriarchal friend, we stop the press to say, is lodged in the Supervisor's minutes of Friday last: S. W. Preble, Horticultural Commissioner's salary, $12; F. H. Keith, sane; $9; Hiram Hamilton, same—item, claimed $33; item, allowed $30. Mr. Hamilton, it seems, appeared before the board some time ago and asked that the county pay his expenses to the late San Jose accesses the lovely scenes passing like a panorama before him. The California scenes embrace cuts of the Coronado Palace and other hotels, the Yosemite, Riverside orange orchards, etc. The letter press is artistic and unique. A very acceptable little gift, the receipt of which is acknowledged with thanks. The Ontario Observer has interviewed Richard Gird on the Anaheim and Chino Railroad, and prints the following very interesting item: In an interview with Richard Gird we were assured that it was his intention to extend the Chino Valley Railroad to the coast, provided the people of Ontario and Anaheim are willing to cooperate with him in the consummation of the enterprise. The road will not be broadened to the standard gauge, it being Mr. Gird's opinion that a narrow gauge will be more practicable and satisfactory. A broad gauge connection may, however, be made with China. Now is the time for our people to get together, appoint committees to see Gird, plant beets and talk railroad. The Los Angeles papers are evidently somewhat mixed in reference to the meeting of the Editorial Association at the Board of Trade rooms in Los Augales on Tuesday. No meeting of the association had been called for Tuesday. It is strange that editors should allow such queer mistakes to be printed about their own association. Perhaps the meeting was a committee meeting? If so, why not say so? On Wounded Knee, Creek, in the Dakota Bad Lands, on Monday morning, while troops were disarming Big Foot's band of warriors, who had surrendered to Col. Forayt, the treacherous redakins seized their guns and began firing at the soldiers. Twenty-three troops were killed and thirty-four wounded. Then the order went forth to fire. The troops were up at once and at them. Three hundred Indians, dead in the gulch, paid the penalty with their dastardly lives. Later, thirty bucks, attacking the Ninth Calvalry's provision train, were fired upon and all of their killed. That is the way to settle the "Indian question." Three hundred Indians killed! Praise God, from whom all blessings gave! A dispatch of yesterday giving an account of the light says the Indians waited until the dilimounted men of K and. A troops were gathered in a group about the tepes, searching for arms, and then suddenly without warning threw down their blankets, seized their rifles and poured volleys from them. The fact that the golddiggers were grouped in a compact body is an explanation of the great execution done by the Indians' bullets. It took the troops but a moment, however, to recover from their surprise, and maddened by the sight of their comrades lying dead and dying on the ground, the soldiers poured in their fire with frightful effect. Through the cloud of smoke, a buck could be seen here and there running away but there were not many of them. They were paraded and most of them soon brought to a stop with a bullet. The wounded Indians lying on the battle field fought like friends. They continued shoot until killed or their ammunition was exhausted.' There were many single-handed ferocious combats between wounded soldiers and Indians. After the first few minutes when the Galliphyk guns could occupy in the past. We shall print a paper for the people, filled with news of interest. As in the past, we shall during the coming year print everything that is new, clean, true and interesting. And we want our correspondents to help us out. To all of our patrons, here and elsewhere, we return thanks for their distinguished consideration during the year—which we hope to merit in the future. May business be good with them, and each and all of them roll up fat bank accounts. To all of our readers throughout the valley, and in different portions of this and of other States, and to that small but appreciated contingent in foreign lands residing, we send greeting on this auspicious day, and wish them all A Happy New Year! Our grave and patriarchial friend, Hiram Hamilton of Orange, bug commissioner, we are pleased to observe continues his deadly onslaughts (in the newspapers) against the hated family of citrus belt scale pests.

Taken under advisement. Al-learned. Mr. Hamilton continues: It is in vain to appeal to the railroads for co-operation on this line since the grand consolidation under Jay Gould.

[And the rest of it.] Mr. Hamilton for Congress, which we proceed at once to do, based upon the promise that his "danger signals," having at last effected their purpose, will forthwith be discontinued. The thing against our grave and patriarchal friend, we stop the press to say, is lodged in the Supervisor's minutes of Friday last: S. W. Preble, Horticultural Commissioner's salary, $12; F. H. Keith, same, $9; Hiram Hamilton, same-item, claimed $33; item, allowed $30. Mr. Hamilton, it seems, appeared before the board some time ago and asked that the county pay his expenses to the late San Jose horticultural convention, the trip to be undertaken presumably in the horticultural interests of this county. The board refused to see the propriety of it and so Mr. Hamilton "plays even" by charging the county three dollars for his trip to Santa Ana. The parsimonious board, blind to Mr. Hamilton's interests again, shaved his demand to the extent of what appeared to them to be meet and proper, and the difference between the first and second items in his bill results. Mr. Hamilton is not long commissioner for his health. But we nominate him for Congress any how. The next session of the State Association of Irrigators will convene at Sacramento on next Thursday. A lengthy article on the purposes of the meeting will be found on our first page. At the Tulare meeting Mr. Porter named Dr. Spencer to represent the Anaheim Irrigation District at future meetings of the association. Our Board of Directors meet on Tuesday, and if at that time it shall be decided that Dr. Spencer is to go to Sacramento he will have a plenty of time to pack his grip, leave Wednesday morning and get to the State Capital, per flying trip, in time for Thursday's meetings — taking along meanwhile an extra "billed" shirt for the Inaugural Ball on Friday evening—$10 a ticket. Dr. Spencer may borrow Dr. Bulldard's pentail coat for this latter purpose, if he finds his wardrobe rains a copy of the harmless, necessary apparatus, or he may rank one cheap at Sacramento. By reading our article on the first page, however, it will be found that the irrigators' meeting will be compact body is an explanation of the great execution done by the Indians' bullets. It took the troops but a moment, however, to recover from their surprise, and maddened by the sight of their comrades lying dead and dying on the ground, the soldiers poured in their fire with frightful effect. Through the cloud of smoke, a buck could be seen here and there running away but there were not many of them. They were pursued and most of them soon brought to a stop with a bullet. The wounded Indians lying on the battle field fought like fiends. They continued shooting until killed or their ammunition was exhausted. There were many single-handed ferocious combats between wounded soldiers and Indians. After the first few minutes when the Gatling and Hotchkiss guns could be used they were turned loose on such of the fugitives as were running down the ravine. It was a war of extermination now with the trooper; it was difficult to restrain them. Tactics were almost abandoned: About the only tactics were to kill while it could be done. Whatever an Indian was seen dring was directed, and so it went on until not a buck was in sight. The advance sheets of the Los Angeles Times annual bespeak the wealth of good things in the line of information to be printed in the forthcoming number of that usually very interesting and valuable publication. We hope to speak of the contents more fully later on. RICHARD GIRD donates $300,000 worth of land to the refinery at Chuno in order to secure its construction. The refinery will be the largest in the United States. The Feldom Dam. The last stone of the great dam across the American river, above Folsom Prison, was laid one day last week. Warden Aull told the Prison Directors that he would have a Christmas present for them in the shape of a complete dam. The convict forces who have been at work for more than two years on the dam will now be put upon the canal and power-house, the latter a structure built upon rock within the prison walls. The great shutter, which will be raised or lowered by hydraulic arms as the water in the river varies, will not be placed in position until next season. The completion of this great work will mark an important era in the industrial progress of Sacramento. The enormous water-power that will be utilized will generate electricity that can be transmitted for power and lighting purposes to Sacramento, and a revolution in manufacturing methods will follow. The work is of the most enduring character and NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. CHEESEMAN'S BLENDED COFFEE IS THE BEST. TRY IT! CHEESEMAN'S TEA. THE BEST IN THE MARKET. TEA. THE BEST IN THE MARKET. M. H.
