The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuchel, Charles Kuchel, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... MAY 28, 1891 Following close upon the report that Mr. Botsford had received an offer of $53,000 for his orange orchard at Placentia, comes the report that Mr. Ryan recently received an offer of $55,000 for his orange grove at Brookhurst. Of course both gentlemen refused to sell. Mr. Botsford owns 132 acres, only 6 acres of which are in bearing. He has a young orange orchard looking splendidly, and one day his entire tract will be brought into a high state of cultivation. Mr. Ryan has twenty-five acres in oranges and five acres in lemons in bearing, for which the offer mentioned was made. He has also ninety acres in young orchard, set to walnuts (82 acres), lemons (3 acres), and oranges (5 acres). Last year his oranges brought him $8,000, and this season's lemon crop will bring him $6,000. It is not generally known perhaps that a short time after he sold his oranges he offered the buyers $2,000 for a half interest in the profits of the crop, but the offer was refused. It is difficult to say how much money would tempt either of the gentlemen to dispose of their places, but we do not think a figure much less than one pressing $100,-000 would be given serious consideration. The method of arriving at correct prices for orange orchards has not yet been definitely determined, but the usual method is to multiply a year's income by ten, and the result will be a fair valuation. This is the method adopted by orange growers throughout Southern California. The receipts of the Ryan grove for the past season, for oranges and lemons, amounted to $14,000. Those of a mathematical turn of mind may figure out its value at their will. We are informed that Alessandro Irrigation District recently disposed of a large amount of their bonds at 102. This is the largest price yet realized, but we venture to say that bonds will bring more than that within a year. If the bonds are worth buying at all, they are worth a premium. Alessandro is bonded for $30 per acre. Our bonded indebtedness is $18 per acre. Apart from the sons in Italy may think of our institutions. I can change them, still less violate them. The fact is Marquis de Rudini does not give us sufficient time. You assume that four Italian subjects have been massacred, but I have my doubts on that point, as I am informed they were mixed up in some scandalous electoral transactions. Still I don't contest their nationality, but while I ask for time you want an official declaration on the kind, and you may do as you please." These words have the true United States ring about them. In this Mass controversy the Italian Government might as well first as last understand that we are the people. The city bond election occurs on Tuesday. All progressive people should vote in favor of the bonds. We need the improvements—new water works, improved streets and fire apparatus. The main objection to the bonds is because of the appropriation of $3,500 for the erection of a town hall. The item is small, and the urgent need of improvements and repairs to our dilapidated system of water works should be enough to carry the bonds, even with the town hall appropriation tacked to them. In the present condition of the water works—constantly out of order, always being repaired and eating up money, and frequently days at a time no use to us whatever—a fire like that at the Planters' Hotel, coming at a time when the "pump is broke," a cry that we have heard so very, very often lately, would destroy the city in no time. We need new water works and fire apparatus to give us the protection which our growing city demands. Progressive people will vote for the bonds. In another column is printed a copy of a vigorous protest to the setting out of the railroad's property from this irrigation district. The protest is in the nature of a petition, which is being universally signed by the people, asking the irrigation Directors not to grant the railroad's petition. The railroad has paid its taxes without protest to irrigation districts in other parts of this State, and why they should first protest paying taxes due our district, and then ask to be set out of it, is past finding out. We think they are making a mistake. They cannot get, out of the district, it is right that they should be in it, and they are not making many friends by asking to be set out of it. We are informed that Alessandro Irrigation District recently disposed of a large amount of their bonds at 102. This is the largest price yet realized, but we venture to say that bonds will bring more than that within a year. If the bonds are worth buying at all, they are worth a premium. Alessandro is bonded for $30 per acre. Our bonded indebtedness is $18 per acre. Apart from the difference in our favor, we should say that our bonds are the more preferable of the two. But if our bonds bring par, they will suit us quite well enough. A DISPATCH from San Francisco says that the Clearing-House, to which the question of negotiating irrigation bondshad been referred by the conference of bankers and irrigationists, has notified the Produce Exchange that the constitution and by-laws of the Clearing-House do not permit it to appoint engineers and attorneys to examine irrigation districts whose bonds are offered for sale. This does not prevent individual banks, they suggest, from co-operating in the work. A report of the recent conference will be found on the first page. The result of the conference can hardly be said to be satisfactory. The bonds were referred to the Clearing-House for examination, it being held that no individual bank would take the responsibility of reporting upon them. The Clearing-House replies that they cannot do the work, but suggest that individual banks might do it. Thus the matter stands. It is difficult to understand the reason why this apathy of San Francisco bankers should obtain. Every individual expression of opinion has been in favor of the bonds, yet no bank is liberal spirited enough to handle them. The irrigationists must look to foreign capitalists to negotiate their bonds. We hear that two large sales of bonds have just been made in districts in the northern part of the state. This fact, taken in conjunction with the very favorable sale of bonds by the Alessandro district, would seem to be evidence conclusive that the bonds may be negotiated despite the inexplicable action of the San Francisco bankers. The letter of the President of the Clearing-House to the Produce Exchange is as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, 1851.—Barry Baldwin, Chairman, T.C. Friedlander, Secretary — GENTLEMEN: In compliance with your letter communicating the preamble and resolutions adopted at a conference of the bankers of this city with the representatives of the irrigation districts of the State and a committee of the San Francisco Produce Exchange held in this city on the 19th inst., and requesting that the San Francisco Clearing-House appoint competent attorneys and competent engineers to pass upon and report upon the matters referred to, a special meeting of the San Francisco Clearing-House was tion, which is being universally signed by the people, asking the irrigation Directors not to grant the railroad's petition. The railroad has paid its taxes without protest to irrigation districts in other parts of this State, and why they should first protest paying taxes due our district, and then ask to be set out of it, is past finding out. We think they are making a mistake. They cannot get, out of the district, it is right that they should be in it, and they are not making many friends by asking to be set out of it. The annual report of City Clerk Nabulg appears elsewhere. It will be seen that we are better off than we were a year ago, having at the present time $1,221 02 in the treasury, while last year we had but $5 04 to start housekeeping with. The report makes interesting reading, and should be perused by the taxpayer. The spectacle of Brer Crowther fighting his bondmen is unique in history. Possibly there was never another case wherein a set of bondmen, asking to be relieved of liability, were denied the privilege because their principal found himself unable to find other bondmen. That would make excellent material for a comic opera! It is announced that the Alta California of San Francisco, John P. Irish's paper, is to suspend publication. The Alta is the oldest paper in the West, but for years has been merely a semblance of its former self. Irish would fill a "long-felt want" as an editorial writer on the Examiner. A few days ago the Board of Supervisors of Fresno county decided, to seek legal advice as to the constitutionality of the county government bill, and at the session of the board on Monday, written opinions were read from ex-Justice of the Supreme Court McKinstry and from ex-Attorney General Johnson, both opinions being that the law is unconstitutional. The board thereupon instructed the District Attorney to submit his written opinion as to the constitutionality of the sections of the act relating to Fresno county, with the view of having the measure tested before the proper tribunals. A BRASS BAND went to sarenade Nellie Bly one evening not long ago. They were told she was asleep, and could not see them. So they played "In the bazel dell my Nelly's sleeping." The selection was most appropriate, but the dispatches fail to tell us whether the charmer was awakened. The Pacific Rural Press of San Francisco, in commenting upon our article in reference to the railroad's petition to be set out of our irrigation district, says: It occurs to us that the railway companies should be the last to refuse to bear such assessment. Irrigation is, in many cases, not only the key to the profit in their traffic but SAN FRANCISCO, May 25, 1851.—Barry Baldwin, Chairman, T. C. Friedlander, Secretary—GENTLEMEN: In compliance with your letter communicating the preamble and resolutions adopted at a conference of the bankers of this city with the representatives of the irrigation districts of the State and a committee of the San Francisco Produce Exchange held in this city on the 19th inst., and requesting that the San Francisco Clearing-House appoint competent attorneys and competent engineers to pass upon and report upon the matters referred to, a special meeting of the San Francisco Clearing-House was held this day for the consideration of the same. A free discussion of the subject was had, and a full expression of sympathetic individual interest in all matters pertaining to the furtherance of irrigation enterprises inaugurated in this State, in which all business and representative men should feel concerned as of great importance to the State at large. The meeting, however, concluded, unanimously, that while individual banks or bankers may manifest their interest by co-operation in the promotion of the objects you desire, it was not within the powers of the Clearing-House Association to respond affirmatively as suggested. The scope of its duties and powers is restricted by its constitution and by laws, and you will doubtless understand that its action on any proposed matter must necessarily be governed thereby. Very respectfully yours, JOHN MCKEE, President San Francisco Clearing-House THE Italian Green Book, dealing with the "inside history" of the diplomatic controversy between Italy and the United States, growing out of the Mafia lynching at New Orleans, has been submitted to the Italian Parliament. The correspondence is lengthy, and begins with mildly worded notes and recital of pleasant interviews and gradually warms up to very plain talk, the Italian Government insisting upon reparation and punishment of the leaders of the mob, and Blaine refusing to commit the United States until full investigation could be had. On March 27th Blaine spoke to the Italian Minister as follows: "I do not recognize the right of any government to tell the United States what it should do. We have never received orders from any foreign power and will not begin now. Please inform Marquis de Rudini that the Federal Government cannot give the assurances which he requires and that it is a matter of total indifference to me what per- The Pacific Rural Press of San Francisco, in commenting upon our article in reference to the railroad's petition to be set out of our irrigation district, says: It occurs to us that the railway companies should be the last to refuse to bear such assessment. Irrigation is, in many cases, not only the key to the profit in their traffic, but fixes as well the value of their property as it does that of individuals. In most cases it would be a better offer for the railway to pay double the regular assessment. We trust no issue will be made on this point. The public has had enough to try its patience with these corporations without adding this. Special Notice. The Anaheim Building and Loan Association will have $2,000 to loan at its meeting on Saturday, June 6th.

Monday's Examiner contains the following reference to Otto Young's pitching. His club was badly beaten by Sacramento. Otto was responsible for his club's defeat. Here is what the paper says of him: A very tall young man with a rich brunette complexion, something like the softened tint of a cucumber that has expired beneath the warm rays of a summer sun, stood in the middle of the yard at Oakland yesterday and pitched baseball like a tender-foot using a long-handed shovel in prospect hole. The tall young man was Otto Young. On Friday Mr. Young, while engaged in the somewhat lucrative practice of earning his salary in the same place and against the same delegation of Senators, had more curves than one of his beloved pretzels and speed enough to shoot the ball along like a policeman going off watch. It might also be mentioned in passing that on Friday Mr. Young had ropes on the ball, and when necessary could skim it right over NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. DRY GOODS PALACE.
