The Weekly Gazette. ISSUE EVERY THURSDAY. Henry Kuebel, Charles Kuebel, Editors and Producers THURSDAY. OCTOBER 15, 1891. The Grand Jury's report, filed with the Superior Court last week, is rather a tame affair compared with the report of a year ago, but the people are to be congratulated on that fact. All the county books are found to be all right, county money are intact and the officers are found to be doing their duty. The Supervisors, however, the Grand Jury opines, exceeded their authority in appropriating $100 to pay Col. Edwards' expenses on his junket trip to Salt Lake. The District Attorney's attention has been called to the fact, and he will no doubt do the duty that devolves on him. The Grand Jury find the approaches to the railroad bridge between here and Santa Ana bad, and recommend their repair; they also recommend that the Southern Pacific Railroad Company be required to place signs of warning at all crossings of the public highways of the county. They find the county roads generally good, but declare the road between here and Santa Ana to be very bad indeed, and recommend its repair. The books of the various municipal corporations in the county are found to be in good order, and there is a distressing amount of honesty and propriety among our public officials generally. All of them have turned over the county money in their possession, and there hasn't been stolen so much as a soumker. There are no indictments, no charges of malfeasance in office, no rottenness, nothing but that is good. If all the officers pass the Grand Jury's scrutiny next year as well as they did this year, they may have a show of being re-nominated for the offices which they now, it appears, so efficiently fill. The Board of Supervisors on Monday ordered that the question of building a new bridge across the Santa Ana river on the road between here and Santa Ana, just north of the present bridge, be referred to the bridge committee with power to act. We hope the committee will see fit to place the bridge as far away from the present one as possible. The presents bridge has always brings under ditch 30,000 acres of fine horticultural and grain land. In June, 1891, the Perris Irrigation District was formed and on Friday the water was turned upon the land. It is brought through pipes, tunnels and canals from Bear valley, a distance, as stated, of forty miles. The cost of the system was $442,000, all of which has been paid for in bonds of the district issued under the Wright law and sold at about par. A special excursion train departed from Los Angeles to witness the celebration, stopping at all intermediate stations and arriving at Perris at noon. At Riverside 300 people joined the excursion with a brass band. Upon the arrival of the train at Perris the party of ten载 loads was met by a brass band and a local reception committee. The ladies of Perris served dinner, and there was speech-making and a grand ball in the evening. Perris is to be congratulated on the headway her district is making. Now that the Grand Jury have declared that the Supervisors exceeded their authority in appropriating that $100 for Col. Edwards' benefit at the Salt Lake irrigation convention, and have directed the attention of the District Attorney to the matter, we might be permitted to suggest that the Colonel refund the money, if not in one "lump sum," at least on the installment plan. It wouldn't come so hard this latter way, but we must have the money back, even if it starts the Colonel lecturing to do it. By the way, what has become of the Colonel's report, which he was going to give us on his return from the Mormon City? We haven't seen a thing of it, and have been wondering all along what could possibly have become of it. Maybe the Colonel doesn't intend to make a report. In that event, what earthly good did his junket do the people? That's what we want to find out. What good did it do the people? In conversation with Mr. B. P. Porter he informs us that his proposition to place $200,000 of our irrigation district bonds is likely to be speedily consummated, at satisfactory figures. This is pleasant news, and we trust the consummation may be speedily brought about. Our irrigation bonds are undoubtedly the best in the State, and should bring a premium. Mr. Porter has the best wishes of our people in his endeavor. the cultivation and delivery of these years. Capital for the erect factory will then be forthcoming at a rate of interest, the stockhoe having to put up any cash, except for the expenses of incorporation. Timated that, figuring on the same those paid at Chino, the growers ceive, in addition to an average acre for their beets, a profit of over ninety dollars would be placed in a sinking fund end of five years the factory would for. There are over 5,000 acres lay adapted to sugar beet culture, and the past five years very high per sugar have been obtained from saurgs. Over 1,500 acres have also guaranteed by the farmers. A has been appointed to draw up a corporation. ROLL OF HONOR GOOD BOYS AND GIRLS IN THE SCHOOLS WHO STAND THEIR STUDIES.

MEAD. GRAMMAR ROOM—SEVENTH The Board of Supervisors on Monday ordered that the question of building a new bridge across the Santa Ana river on the road between here and Santa Ana, just north of the present bridge, be referred to the bridge committee with power to act. We hope the committee will see fit to place the bridge as far away from the present one as possible. The present bridge has always been dangerous, and the county road this side of it runs altogether too near the railroad track for safety. Between city and the bridge there is a stretch of probably two miles of road so close to the track that parties have to time their trips so as to avoid the passing trains. For a large part of this distance the road lies as near the track as it is possible to get it. We have soon parties drive off the road when approaching the bridge and wait several minutes rather than take the chances of meeting a passing train on the bridge due there at that time. Persons meeting a train on the bridge have narrowly escaped with their lives. Last week Mr. Moot of this place narrowly escaped with his life in this way. The bridge is an exceedingly dangerous thing, and the road is too near the railroad and too full of chuck holes for a respectable county. The road is a disgrace to the county—to the Supervisora and every one else in the county. Give us a new bridge, away from the railroad bridge, and a good road away from the track. The Santa Ana Press has been absorbed by the Blade and has passed out of existence. The Blade is printed in the dress of its late contemporary, and occupies the premises vacated by the Press. From a post-mortem examination made by the Blade it appears that the daily Press, before departed this life and went to Garvanza, had 116 paying subscribers. At a cent for each paper, the Blade computes, this would bring the firm $116 per day. The Blade adds that what would amount to per month can be easily figured out. The weekly Press had 205 subscribers, 53 of them taken from the deceased Fullerton Star, and 43 were deadheads. This leaves a balance (we quote the Blade's figures) of 164, fifty per cent of which, so the Blade says, probably paid nothing for the paper. The Press, the Blade continues, gained two subscribers during the last four weeks of its existence. We think it did well to do that! There was too much tinn-horn bluster about the dead paper ever to set the world on fire. The Blade announces it is in the field "to stay." The San Diego newspaper men are enjoying themselves. Journalist Montieth accompanied themself. In conversation with Mr. B. P. Porter he informs us that his proposition to place $200,000 of our irrigation district bonds is likely to be speedily consummated, at satisfactory figures. This is pleasant news, and we trust the consummation may be speedily brought about. Our irrigation bonds are undoubtedly the best in the State, and should bring a premium. Mr. Porter has the best wishes of our people in his endeavor to sell them, and thereby pave the way for the beginning of the work of improvement in the irrigation district. The Santa Ana Standard passed its tenth birthday last Saturday. It is a vigorous newspaper, unique in its outspoken independence, and enjoys prosperity. May it live long and prosper. Races at the Fair. The Los Angeles Fair begins on Monday. A very good programme has been arranged for the opening day. The first race on the card is the Los Angeles Derby, I and 1:2 miles. The second event is the Southern California handicap, in which such well-known performers as John Treat, Gladiator, El Rayo, Zingeralla, Gambo, Perrigrine and Washington Bartlett will sport silk. The light harness races will be exceptionally good. Glendine, McKinney, Richmond Jr., Lizzie F. and Lucy R. meet on the 2:20 trot. This promises to be one of the best and most hotly contested races of the year. All can trot in 2:18 or better. In addition to the above events, there will be a trotting race in which the most artistically bred three-year olds in the State will contest. This is the best first day's programme over arranged in the State, and should certainly attract thousands of visitors to Los Angeles. The Sixth District Agricultural Association is determined to make the opening day of 1891 a red-letter one in the history of the association, and the prospects of a brilliant meeting are very bright. God bless the Soldier's Widow! Santa Ana Herald. Brother Kuchel of the Anaheim Gazette has gone into spasms again over General Raunt's Pension Bureau report. After telling how large the pension roll is already, he says: "And we know that the stack of applications goes on increasing forever." Now Br. K couldn't read Commissioner Raunt's report without noticing that the pension roll includes over a hundred thousand widows and minor children of soldiers. And he knows that those classes are rapidly decreasing, and that instead of growing at the Government for paying so many pensions he would show his patriotism better by marrying one of the widows and thus help in a practical and manly way to reduce the number of unfortunate penstones.

You can pay all your The San Diego newspaper men are enjoying themselves. Journalist Montieth accused journalist Gardiner of an unprintable crime, and the latter punched the former's eyes. Journalist Smith said Montieth was troubled with "alcoholic dazo," and the latter filed papers in a criminal libel suit against him. Gardiner accused John R. Berry, Collector of Customs for the port of San Diego, of helping Montieth get out his paper, and Berry sand Gardiner for $25,000 damages. Cap. Friend held Gardiner's spectacles while the latter threshed Montieth, and then he returned them and Gardiner put them on. It is expected another libel suit will grow out of the Cap's act. The Cap is always getting himself into hot water, except when he gets into the sea, and then he comes near drowning. All the trouble is attributed to the Salton sea. A bronze statue of General Grant was unveiled at Chicago last week in the presence of a vast multitude, including many civil and military dignitaries of the nation. The statue, eighteen feet high, surmounts a granite pedestal that spans the roadway at the top of a hill looking toward the lake. It represents the General seated upon horseback. Both animal and man are in a position of rest. The General grasps a field glass in his right hand, with the glass resting upon his thigh, as after taking a careful survey of the field. He looks steadily across the vast expanse of waters. The statue suggests concentration of mind, confidence and self-reliance. The people of Perris on Friday celebrated the bringing of water into their valley from the Bear Valley reservoir, a distance of forty miles. Two thousand people were present, and the water was turned on which The Country Newspaper. San Francisco Call.

The country editor comes more closely in contact with his constituency than the city man. He is with the people in their daily life, in their public deliberations, and is in heart and spirit one of them. He thinks and acts with them, and his editorial utterances are for the most part the voice of the majority. The Cow.

The farmers of Cahuenga, a valley adjoining Los Angeles on the west, are taking steps toward what may prove the inauguration of a revolution in the sugar manufacturing business in this country, placing it on a similar basis to that which it occupies in Germany, where of 401 best sugar factories 330 are run under the co-operative system. The idea of the Cahuenga farmers is that the Government intended the bounty of two cents a pound should go to the growers. At Chino they claim that it goes to the manufacturers. It is proposed that it goes to a daily capacity of 200 tons of beets, to cost about $250,000. Shares can be held only by those who grow beets, a share of $100 going with each acre, the land being bonded to assure The delinquent list will be paid or within five days before or after Monday in June.
