THE WEEKLY GAZETE. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCKEL. CHARLES KUCKEL. EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. THURSDAY...JANUARY 9, 1896. THE OBSERVATION CAR. A Trip Around the Kite Shape Track With the Santa Fe Officials. Attached to the rear of the regular southbound noon express train on the kite-shaped track on Monday was an elegantly appointed car that was at once an innovation in the manner of luxurious travel as it marked a new era in the management of the popular Southern California railway. From without, as the train rolled into the station, the glittering gilt lettering, "Observation Car," on a background of rich and newly painted carmine, the spacious plate glass windows, through which one caught glimpses of the rich upholstering within, was such as to bring to this new feature of the company's car service its meed of attention anywhere; for the car is one of the most luxurious that ever crossed to our side of the Sierras; but it was as nothing compared to the hospitality that reigned with an open hand within. Smilax entwined with roses, white and red, even as Parthenia wove them from the glade for the brow of Ingomar, served to remind even a Californian that while the adjacent hills, towering themselves into the clouds, are mantled in snow, we live in a land of sub-tropical verdure all the same, where roses bloom perennial and shed their fragrance freely on the circumambient air. Some days ago invitations were issued by General Manager Wade and General Passenger Agent Byrne to a limited number of newspaper men, hotel keepers and good fellows generally, to accompany them on a trip around the Kite in their new Observation car, to start from La Grande station at 11 o'clock and return at 6:05 on the Limited. A word about the Limited. It is the cannon ball that annihilates space between San Bernardino and Los Angeles. We travel around the loop at Redlands, Highlands and Menstone, and are taken to San Bernardino to await the Limited, which is the new fast through train from Chicago. The train itself is a succession of elegantly appointed vestibulated sleepers and dining-car, and as its engine pants its way to a standstill, the yard engine takes the Observation car and quickly attaches it to the rear of the Limited. We get out on the rear enclosed platform, as the car passes by the long line of sleepers at Redlands, and the report was current that the orchardists had to put Scip Craig in a wagon and drive his red head over the country to save the trees from freezing. We pass the Highlands insane asylum, and further on a box of magnificent oranges are brought aboard with the compliments of Mr. and Mrs. Prescott. Mr. Prescott was at one time chief engineer of the Santa Fe system, but has long since forsaken the railroad for the more profitable field of horticulture. His oranges took the gold medal at the Atlanta fair, and from this orchard boxes of fruit have been sent to Queen Victoria, Emperor William, Gladstone and President Cleveland. A cluster of three of these oranges graces the editorial table as we write. A more perfectly colored fruit it is not possible to find. The crowd makes an slaught upon them and declares that never were such oranges raised before. We reach Redlands and have forty minutes to look around in. In company of Editor Clark of Ontario we set out for the Citrograph office, to see if Scip Craig is home. Of course he isn't; but his talented wife, who does so much to impart to the Citrograph the reputation it enjoys, shows us about the office we have heard so much about. We drop in at the Facts office to see if it is running yet, as we haven't seen it in months. We have been off its exchange list, as we have been off those of the Los Angeles Record and Pomona Progress, for some moons past, but we hope to be restored to fellowship with them before another frost. At the time of the bicycle races here some months ago the Record telegraphed down for two hundred words about the result of the races, to have copy in by 1:30. As the races, following out the custom in all well-regulated cities, did not begin until 4 o'clock, and it would take the committee an hour and a half to figure up the time allowance, elapsed time and that sort of thing, we wrung our hands in anguish wondering how to get that message in at one-thirty. To wire for instructions would cost too much, so the best thing we could do at 1:30 was to wire up what the riders were doing and throw in a number of tips on the races. All the tips proved to be wrong. We never saw the Record after that, until we bought an Express and Record, two for a nickel, in Los Angeles other evening. We were glad to learn that it was still in the land of the living. We never knew why we were debarred—the pleasure of exchanging with it. Whether our dispatch killed it, or whether in a moment of frenzy over losing too much money on our tips the editor crossed us off, we never knew. We haven’t exchanged with the company et al. The suit is simply to quiet time to the water of the river and not to talk anybody’s real right to the same. The trouble is that Byron Waters and other torneys have scared the owners of indisputable water rights into paying them large fees to defend what is not assailed. Our people do deny the right to either new or increase diversions, thereby curtailing the supply for lower users; and hence they have asked the court to define the rights of each owner and rule out the fraudulent claims. Every possessor of a genuine water right in this Santa Ana River ought to join with this plaintiff in having these rights established and defined once for all by competent authorities; since none but claim jumpers would be dispossessed by a fair ruling of the court. Instead of this suit being “short sighted,” as stated by the Champion, it eminently proper and should have been dertaken at least fifteen years ago, when there were not so many water rights up to river as at present. It should be pressed—a conclusion before the rest of the water diverted and we be left desolate. CALIFORNIA’S COUNTRY PRESS THE BEST From the California Fruit Grower. After some years spent in reading newspapers and other periodicals published in parts of the United States and in many sign countries, the writer is convinced that in many respects what may be styled in country press of California excels that other parts of the world. It is quite sated say that better papers are successfully published in smaller towns in California than any other part of the United States. This not intended to appear as a boast, and written with no intention to “swagger;” as a sober fact which is susceptible of abdant proof. In this fact it is easy to tendency towards a higher type of life among all classes. When it is considered that part of the press of the State to which an issue is here made in no wise panders to merely sensational, nor gives over its omens to matter unreadable in the fancy circle, there is much to hope for as well as be thankful for. And the fact that a paper thus pure and vigorous is so well sustained in every neighborhood in the State, shows mental and moral health among the people for which they have not always received credit. As an educator along the lines thrift, morality and good citizenship in country press of California has no superior in the world. WERE HIT PRETTY HARD LAST YEAR—GETTING A SOCKDOLOGER THIS YEAR. From the Orange News. The association of orange growers in Southern California, now known as the South California Fruit Exchange, was organized take the business of packing and marketing oranges out of the hands of commission men and dealers, who for years had rob growers of their legitimate profits in their dustry, and take control themselves. Commission men have made a stubborn fiend and they are not yet routed by any means. Some of them got a pretty severe squash last year—a source that should have threw and return at 6:05 on the Limited. A word about the Limited. It is the cannon ball that annihilates space between San Bernardino and Los Angeles. We travel around the loop at Redlands, Highlands and Mentone, and are taken to San Bernardino to await the Limited, which is the new fast through train from Chicago. The train itself is a succession of elegantly appointed vestibulated sleepers and dining-car, and as its engine pants its way to a standstill, the yard engine takes the Observation car and quickly attaches it to the rear of the Limited. We get out on the rear enclosed platform, as the car passes by the long line of sleepers, filled with Easternners peering from window and platform at the marvels of this fabulous land of sunshine. To the north, seemingly so close that it is but a mile away, the hills loom up, cragged and peaked like mosque and minaret, their caps white with glistening snow, while about us here is sunshine and flowers and golden globes of superb oranges that feast the eye and tempt the appetite. The Easterners do not understand these contrasts, and look about them from one to the other in astonishment, marveling at one perhaps quite as much as at the other. The cannon-ball is flying toward Los Angeles. We are going up grade at thirty-five miles an hour. Soon the summit is reached, and the descent is made at a rate not much less than a mile a minute. The hills recode, and miles and miles away, as evening's lengthening shadows bring suggestions of chilliness, we go inside to interview Johns, the porter. And a great fellow is Johns, the porter. We join this crowd of merry-makers at the station here, and climb aboard to find ourselves in the hospitable company, first, of Mr. Gregory, the assistant general passenger agent, whom we have never seen before, and whom we take for the President of the road. Mr. Gregory has the faculty of making one's self feel at home, and under his charge we soon meet with Mr. Byrne, the general passenger agent, Mr. McGee, the city ticket agent, and a mixed crew of Los Angeles hotel pirates, newspaper men, and last but by no means least Mons. Victor Vizzette, superintendent of the Harvey eating houses on the line of the railroad. The porter takes one's hat and coat, and before we know it we have a box of Havana cigars proffered us. We have sworn off the first of the year, but we smoke any one how, and put one in our pocket, and say nothing about it. The interior of the car is fitted up with a samptuousness of appointment and lavishness of expenditure betokening quite a disregard of outlay. The floor is richly carpeted, there are elegant revolving rattan chairs along the sides, and the interior resembles more a parlor of some oriental potentiate than anything awheel. The trip is made to Orange rapidly, and then we swing around by Olive and across the Santa Ana river again for the second time in less than a dozen miles. We skirt along the banks of Horseshoe bend, and see the water in the irrigating ditch down at the edge of the track. The crowd is one given over entirely to good-natured jollity. Charley Jenkins tells his story about how you mustn't always believe what you see in a paper, and Count Bobon ejaculates a cacophonous cackle that rattles the glass in the buffet. Deacon Eberle tells how he need to drive bulls down in Texas much, so the best thing we could do at 1:30 was to wire up what the riders were doing and throw in a number of tips on the racer. All the tips proved to be wrong. We never saw the Record after that, until we bought an Express and Record, two for a nickel, in Los Angeles the other evening. We were glad to learn that it was still in the land of the living. We never knew why we were debarred—the pleasure of exchanging with it. Whether our divatch killed it, or whether in a moment of frenzy over losing too much money on our tips the editor crossed us off, we never knew. We haven't exchanged with the Progress since the time its neighbor, the Pomona Times, detected it in writing fulsome puffs regarding itself and crediting the same to such papers as the Argonaut, New York Sun, San Francisco Examiner and Compton Enterprise. We referred to Editor Tinaley's crime in language befitting its enormity, and, faith, he cut us off the exchange list! Redlands has a fine water system, and Scip Craig has a fine large round head of awfully red hair. We got aboard the train again, and the porter brings us a nice cool glass of ice water. We have a punch a la Byrne, and have a talk with Dr. Eberle on the Nicaraguan canal. To talk with this fine old gentleman would lead one to mentally reflect that he has learning enough to edit the London Times, but when he gets home he gets tired, and when his patent outside fails to arrive on time, his paper loses much of its interest. But we hope you won't cut us off your exchange list. Eberle, do you hear? At San Bernardoio we tack on to the Limited, and with many fond adieus and waving of handkerchiefs to friends at the station, begin gradually to glide out over the smooth track. There is but one stop in fifty miles—that at Pasadena—and here we lose one of the jovial spirits of the party, Charley Gardiner of the Star. The run into Los Angeles is soon over, and as we roll into La Grande station all hands bid adieu to Mr. Byrne, Mr. Gregory, Mr. McGee, the city ticket agent, who has accompanied us on the trip and proved, like his associates, to be a charming fellow. Super-intendent Beamer has also got aboard at some station on the way without paying, and we must shake him by the hand; and Mons. Vizzette, without whom the trip would have been shorn of many of its pleasant features, is here ready to leave us, or we to leave him. And here comes Jobns, the colored porter, to brush one off, and offer a fellow another cigar. The party was the most delightful that ever rolled over the Kite. The officials were uniting in their attentions, as they always are, and Jobns saw that no one's champagne glass remained long empty. It was a very pleasant day happily spent, and there will always be a green spot in the memory for the trip and the liberal-spirited gentlemen who brought it about. And so we left them, and as we climbed down the platform steps, we inwardly resolved to hunt the man who had an observation car to trade for a newspaper. Who bids? These excursions will continue around the kite-shaped track everyday. One observation car will start from Los Angeles south to Anahaim and Orange and around that county will make a stubborn fiesta and they are not yet routed by any mea- Some of them got a pretty severe squash last year—a squeeze that should have threw them out of the circle entirely—but they up again smilingly soliciting consignure. We are told of one firm that repudiated number of its contracts last year, placed property beyond the reach of outraged orators, and is in the business this year as being as ever, but keeping everything in its shape that the creditors cannot recover just does. It is estimated that a full closure of this case and others of a similar nature will soon be given the public. Salvation of the orange industry of South California depends upon the co-operation growers, but as long as growers will aloof from the exchange and throw their finance to its opponents, so long will business remain unstable. ORANGE PICKERS RUSHED TO RIVERSIDE From the Azusa Pomotropic. The Earl Fruit Co., Tuesday morning at thirty orange pickers from Azusa to Rush side to rush work there. The compass has shipped sixty-two carloads from Azusa but will rest awhile before putting out new hundred more from their packing house. The order to transfer the pickers oo so suddenly that there is certainly greater son to believe there is something unusual—the wind at the great orange center and at the fruit of Riverside will be rushed forward at an astonishing rate and if the oranges damaged as materially as reported then a real market will surely go to smash. A ruin has it that hundreds of fruit cars have been ordered there to accommodate the rush seems inevitable. We hope the damage only ten per cent by frost will be true that the wild rumors are unfounded and greater calamity could befall the frost bolts than a general freeze at the greatest range growing center. A CLEAR-HEADED ROOSTER AT COMPTON From the Compton Enterprise. Friends have approached the editor for well meant caution that an open expression of opinion on part of this newspaper was frowned upon by many of its readers To these friends and those who make a caution appear necessary we will sigh say that when the frank expression on honest opinion loses a subscriber we are able to wipe name off our list. We friends as well as anybody but we w crawl to make them. Navy a crawl. THAT'S WHAT THEY DID—FOUND IT DIFFICIOUS TO DECIDE WHERE SO MANY WERE GOOD From the Santa Ana Herald. There was a masquerade ball at Obourne's hall in Fullerton, under the aussee of the Fullerton brass band New Yersey that was without any exception; society event of the season in that portion county. There was a large attendance and the characters were exceptionally sustained. The many pretty costumes she们 were also in evidence; and committee of award found it difficult to terminate which was entitled to the prize best sustained character. INNOCENT NEW YEAR'S DIVERTISSEMENT SAN BERNARDOIFER From the Saturday Review. The crowd of men and boys who celebrate the advent of the new year at midnight Tuesday by burning other people's prophecy In the neighborhood of Rincon we detect a premeditated attempt, on the part of our friend Mons. Vizgotte, whom we have found to be a very clever and observant gentleman, to prepare for luncheon. Tables are brought forth, and while the party are ushered temporarily into the smoker, the car is transformed into one having very much the appearance of a dining-car, the tables are covered with snowy cloths, and such a luncheon! There is cold turkey, cold roast beef, tongue, duck, lobster salad, fromage de Roquefort, cafe noir, gateau, oranges, apples, pommee, poires and pears—all washed down with claret and champagne! The lunch is still being partaken of as we reach Riverside, where long lines of natives with ear muffs on, stand on each side of the track wondering what it all can possibly be about. Editor Clarke gets aboard here. The rims of his cars were frost-bitten the night of the freeze, but he assures us no damage was done the fruit. The tops of some of the young orchards resemble pampas plumes, but he tells us that is the way they grow. Over at Redlands we are told a couple of thousand cars of oranges at Riverside were frozen, and that the thermometer went down as low as seven or thereabouts. The orchardists were paying $275 a day for orange pickers in order to get the nipped fruit to market in time to let the effete Easterner know the luxury of a natural orange ice, with a yellow covering on, before the fruit loses that delicacy of flavor imparted to it by the low mercury. Editor Clarke tells us it was as cold as blues tiring in their attentions, as they always are, and Johns saw that no one's champagne glass remained long empty. It was a very pleasant day happily spent, and there will always be a green spot in the memory for the trip and the liberal-spirited gentlemen who brought it about. And so we left them, and as we climbed down the platform steppe, we inwardly resolved to hunt the man who had an observation car to trade for a newspaper. Who bids? These excursions will continue around the kite-shaped track everyday. One observation car will start from Los Angeles south to Anaheim and Orange and around that way, while the other will go around the other way. Meals will be served a la carte, and thus a splendid way will be afforded to while away the tedium of a day. Take our advice, and go for a spin around the Kite. We esteem it a very great pleasure indeed to be able to agree with our sprightly con temporary, the Independent, across the road, in the matter of handling this season's orange crop: It now becomes a question of the fitest, or in other words the fruit that the most care is exercised in the very best quality and in the packing and shipping is that which will find the most ready sale and will command the best price in the market. We think so—in fact, it seems to us, as our friend Estée used to say in the canvass, there's not a particle of doubt about it. Fruit that no care is used in selecting the best for shipment and no attention is paid to careful packing, will not only be slow sale at low prices but will injure the sale of the better grade of fruit shipped from the same section. This is also perfectly clear, and admits of no two ways about it. We cannot afford to have our oranges slow of sale, and we must not injure the sale of the better grade of fruit by tacky packing—sure not. It therefore behooves those who are handling fruit to use their best judgment and send out nothing but the highest grades of fruit in order to secure the best results. That's right. Send out all our fruit—it's all good—use the best judgment, and keep your eye on Earl. But really hasn't the Independent brain fog? VOICE OF THE PRESS. LARGE FEES EXACTED TO DEFEND THAT WHICH IS NOT ASSAILED. From the Orange Post. The Chino Valley Champion of December 20th under the caption of "Rincon Water Rights" makes a misleading reference to the suit of the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company and the Anaheim Union Water Company va. the Jurupa Land and Water Company. There was a masquerade ball at Cobourne's hall, in Fullerton, under the auspices of the Fullerton brass band, New York eve, that was without any exception, society event of the season in that portion of the county. There was a large attendance and the characters were exceptionally sustained. The many pretty costumes the ladies were also in evidence, and committee of award found it difficult to terminate which was entitled to the prize; the best sustained character. INNOCENT NEW YEAR'S DIVERTISSEMENT. SAN BERNARDOIER. From the Saturday Review. The crowd of men and boys who celebrate the advent of the new year at midnight Tuesday by burning other people's property shooting signs full of holes and making gets of are lamps have little reason to proud of their performance. It was not short of disgraceful. Emperor Wilhelm has had a serious quarrel with Prince Frederick Leopold of Prussia the husband of Princess Louise Sophie Sohlewsig Holstein, sister of the Empress while skating near Glenicke castle, Potter The Princess and one of the ladies of court, Baroness Colmar, broke through ice and came very near drowning. The peror upbraided the Prince for his indifference in his treatment of his wife, and Prince said some pretty blunt words in plying to the Kaiser's rebuke. The peror then ordered him under arrest fourteen days, with confinement in a room his castle for that length of time. Kaiser immediately telegraphed for a attachment of the First Guards to be from Potsdam to Glenicke Castle to guard Prince, and he has since been confined that not being permitted to leave his chambers upon any pretext. In a recent editorial the Salem, Oregon Independent says: "Time and again he we seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy twice without full of most satisfactory suits. Whenever we see a person afflicting with hoarseness, with a cough or cold, invariably advise him to get Chamberlain's Cough Remedy; and when they do, they never regret it.

PREMATURE REPORT OF THE CAPTURE OF HAVANA—THE INSURGENT PATRIOTS DRIVING THE SPANIARDS EVERYWHERE BEFORE THEM. BATANVO (Cuba), January 6.—At 10:30 to-day the following dispatch was received: The Cubans have captured Havana. Morro Castle alone holds out. KEY WEST, January 6.—Jesus Tetuna, a well-known Cuban patriot, received a cipher dispatch from General Gomez stating that the Spaniards were hemmed in on all sides, and that before nightfall Havana would be in the possession of the patriots. NEW YORK, January 6.—A special to the Journal from Havana says: The insurgent armies are within sight of Havana, and the firing of muskets and cannon is plainly heard in the eastern suburbs. The inhabitants were terror-stricken to night by the explosion of two bombs right in the heart of the city. The refugees from the surrounding cities and villages and hundreds of field hands have arrived at Havana. Some of these men say that they could see the insurgents blow up the railroad bridge immediately after their train had crossed, within a few miles of the city. Hundreds of families in the suburbs and in the city have abandoned their homes and are crowding the quay, watching with blanched and eager faces for steamers to take them from the island. All sorts of crafts are being utilized by the refugees, who offer their last money as long as the owner is willing to keep them from shore. The steamers which have cleared to-day are crowded to their utmost capacity with fleeing passengers. All the plantations in the vicinity of Havana have suspended grinding with the exception of the Toledo cane fields. This and the advance of the insurgents has caused an alarming exodus of families to Mariano and the larger seaports. A regular panic prevails in the Cuban capital and suburbs. Couriers are rushing back and forth from the official headquarters, and the streets are filled with excited groups, discussing the situation. There is also great activity among the military. Several columns of troops have left here to-day, who will try to head off the advance of the insurgent armies, and mounted cavalry continues to scurry around the walls of the city, evidently looking for scouts and spies. Everybody feels that the black clouds which have been hanging ominously over the fated island are now ready to burst, and a bloody conflict is imminent. On the steamer which sailed from this port for Spain yesterday the Government sent back to their prisons in Spain a brigade of soldiers, who, at the beginning of the war, were fulfilling sentences for different crimes, and who were ordered to be released on condition that they go to Cuba to fight against the insurgents. They say the Government has sent them back to prison because the majority of them have joined the rebels.
