The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... APRIL 1, 1897. THE new county government bills formed by Assemblyman Chynoweth of this city is now in the hands of the Governor, awaiting his action. Should he sign the bill, which is considered by all fair-minded citizens to be a good and just one, the reduction in the salaries of the officials of this county would take effect at the expiration of the term of office of the present office holders. The saving to the county would aggregate nearly $5,000 per year, which is no small item in these stringent times. The subjoined table shows the present salary and those as they appear in the revised schedule as outlined in the new bill. In the Treasurer's case, it is within the discretion of the Board of Supervisors to consolidate that office with that of the Tax Collector at a salary of $2500 per year. The salaries of the Coroner and Public Administrator are designated "as fees as are now, or may hereafter be allowed by law." The Assessor's commissions last year amounted to $1200. As the assessable property in the county is constantly increasing, his commissions will also be larger, thereby making the reduction in his salary of small concern. The mileage of the Supervisors has been reduced from 20 cents to 10 cents per mile. The following table gives a comparative statement of the present salary and the salary that is provided by the new bill: Present Reduced Salary.

"We will take no hours with us,and as little of other incursions as possible. Perhaps our snow shoes will be kept cleaner and drier than theirs,但 that is all." As soon as the ice conditions are propitious and attempt will be made to reach the pole.The Eskimos are their dogs and sleds will be used possible but in case the white explorers will push on until the Stripes have been planted not if not oo,the pole itself.Lieutenant Peary figures that under favorable conditions his little party will be able to make ten miles a day through the ice and fields of snow.On this basis they could make the distance and return in about seventy-two days This period he regards as a show one to be away from his colony base of supplies.On two former occasions he was absent for a much longer time. Lieutenant Peary while hoping does not expect that the favorable moment for making this venture poleward from his colony will come at once He says it may be three or even five years before conditions are just right If needy he wants to be prepared to witen years，但他 firmly believes from his own experience that the time will come within three years. FORTUNES WAITING FOR THE TERPRISE. The reports from Sonoma county indicate that the people of that town are taking a lively interest in the cultivation of the sugar beet It is stated that 300 farmers are experiment this season in growing the beet,and if the result is a success it is to be expected that a successful factory will be built in the country. It behooves farmers and capitalists to interests themselves in this beet sugar business There is doubt that it is one of the most great industries of the State，those who enter it first under conditions will have the best chance gain the fortunes that it promises. California has been proved an ideal home for the sugar beet Where plant has been grown thus far shows a higher per cent of sucrose than in Europe and a greater yield per acre. It is estimated that THERE is an outlying proportion of the country near Anaheim which, to the farmer, with the tastes fostered by Eastern farming, present facilities and opportunities for profitable tillage of the ground by the raising of sugar beets, crops of barley, corn, potatoes and making hay, besides pasturing stock, hogs and sheep. West and South of the town lies a vast area of uncultivated land, the property of the Stearns Ranchos Land Company. These lands are many of them within the artesian water belt and can be irrigated for corn during summer from artesian wells at a cost from two hundred to four hundred dollars for each well, while good crops of barley, rye and sometimes wheat, are raised on the lands where flowing wells cannot be obtained, from the moisture of the winter rains. Many thrifty farmers are found on the non-irrigable lands who obtain from deep wells sufficient water by using the trade winds, which blow so steadily during the summer, as a motive power for large windmills. These give all the water necessary to supplement the moisture of the winter in raising a corn crop, and forcing the alfalfa fields to yield their six or seven crops per year for hay and green fodder. While fortunes have at times been made in raising grain crops in Southern California, it is the exception and not the rule. Diversified farming pays better, and the man with forty acres well fenced and carefully tilled will in the long run pass his speculative brother who farms his leagues, and have a pleasant home, increasing in beauty, comfort and value year by year, when the other will be a parched and whitened stubbie field after years of grainraising. California farmers have been accustomed to a rich virgin soil and the abundant crops therefrom until they have failed to recognize the need of returning the ground to what it has been robbed of, and many of them are now suffering from a falling off in the yield of their fields, which a little of the thrifty, good sense of the Eastern farmer would obviate entirely by fertilizing with the abundant means at hand where so much stock and so many sheep and hogs are kept. It is a great mistake that many make in believing the poetical tickling with a hoe will bring a laughing harvest. Let none think they can sit idly down and enjoy the dolce-niente of fable farming.

It is a great mistake that many make in believing the poetical tickling with a hoe will bring a laughing harvest. Let none think they can sit idly down and enjoy the dolce far-niente of fable farming. The California farmer must rise early, plough deep, hoe lively and think late if he wishes to succeed, and remember he will get no winter vacation, for it is "spring-time and harvest" all the year round. Those inheriting a predisposition to lung troubles or being yet in the first stages of the disease, are enabled here to throw off this morbid tendency, and develop health and strength again. Others of delicate constitution, inherited or acquired, which resist poorly extremes of heat and cold, find here a climate which allows them to work without exhaustion and to keep pace with their more rugged brethern. Be it the kidneys, or gouty or rheumatic troubles which torment the sufferer, relief is speedily noticed after a short residence here. The increased action of the skin, developed by the stimulating properties of the air, supplements in a measure that of the internal organs and gives them the much needed rest. In short, whether in good bodily condition or poor, the new comer may rest assured, and longer residence here will confirm the belief, that a better soil or fairer climate than that of semi-tropical Anaheim cannot be found the world over. If the reports received at the United States Weather Bureau are correct, and there is no particular reason to think otherwise, the frosts of the last two nights have done serious injury to the fruit crops. Prunes and apples are thought, generally speaking, not to have been far enough advanced for much damage to be done to them, and it is hope that the same is true of the vineyards. But apricots and almonds, it is feared, have been very badly injured, while the peach trees are thought to have been hurt, too, though in a lesser degree. A QUEER PLAN. An Attempt to be Made to Put a Flag on the North Pole New York, March 29.—Lieutenant Peary recently laid a plan for Arctic research before the council of the American Geographical society. The plan includes the reaching of the North Pole. It was heartily indorsed by the council, and a subscription toward its accomplishment promised. Should the plan succeed the United States would reap the glory. Lieutenant Peory's plan, as now matured, is considered by Arctic explorers one of the most feasible yet advocated. First of all, it is not to be an expedition in the usual sense of the term. It will, besides Lieutenant Peary himself, include only one or two white men. If one, he will be a surgeon. If two, the other will be a scientist. The party will be conveyed by a chartered whaler to the point on the western coast of Greenland which Peary has so often made the basis of his explorations. At this point live a tribe of Eskimos. They form the most northerly settlement of human beings, as far as is known, upon the globe. They know the explorer and have every confidence in him. From them he will select five or six young married couples, and will with them push along the northwest coast of Greenland as far as possible, and perhaps into the archipelago which, it is believed, surrounds the North pole. All their goods, including dogs and sledges, will be taken with them, and when no further progress can be made north Lieutenant Peary and his companions will be landed at some spot and a new colony formed. The ship will leave a supply of provisions for three or four years, and make its way back to civilization before the ice closes in. From this basic point two or three white men will make their explorations. Lieutenant Peary figures that this colony will not be over 360 miles from the pole. The Esquimaux will be able to withstand the climate, and he believes that they will be contented as long as they have enough food. The women will be taken along to The cooking and attend to the meal will live like the Eskimos," says the secretary. "We will take no housekeeping, and as little of other incumbers as possible. Perhaps our shoes will be kept cleaner and clean theirs, but that is all." Even as the ice conditions are cool and attempt will be made with the pole. The Eskimos and dogs and sleds will be used if, but in case the white ex-teriors will push on until the Stars strips have been planted near, too, the pole itself. Lieutenant figures that under favorable conditions his little party will be make ten miles a day through the fields of snow. On this they could make the distance return in about seventy-two days. Period he regards as a short be away from his colony or of supplies. On two former sons he was absent for a much time. Tenent Peary, while hoping, not expect that the favorable treat for making this venture from his colony will come. He says it may be two, nor even five years before theIONS are just right. If necessities want to be prepared to wait years, but he firmly believes from experience that the time will within three years. BUENES WAITING FOR ENTERPRISE. Reports from Sonoma county state that the people of that secreting taking a lively interest in cultivation of the sugar beet. dated that 300 farmers are toiment this season in growing set, and if the result is a success to be expected that a sugar boy will be built in the county. Behooves farmers and capital interests themselves in the sugar business. There is no that it is one of the coming industries of the State, and who enter it first under condi-tion will have the best chance to the fortunes that it promises. California has been proved an ideal for the sugar beet. Where the has been grown thus far it is higher per cent of sugar in Europe and a greater yield. It is estimated that there one man killed, Lieut. Wolgesraffen, and twenty-four soldiers wounded. Gen. Rivera and Chief of Staff Col. Bacallao were brought in prisoners at San Cristobal, Pinar del Rio, last evening. Lieut. Terry, adjutant of Gen. Rivera, who was made a prisoner at the same time, died on the way to San Cristobal. He was wounded by the explosion of a Spanish shell during the engagement at Cabazedas. CHICAGO, March, 29. The Record to-morrow will contain a letter from Gen. Gomez, written to President McKinley and containing a copy of one written February 9 to President Cleveland. The Record's copy was sent by C.E. Crosby, the correspondent reported killed during a battle near Arroyo Blanco. The original letter to President Cleveland either went astray or was suppressed by the recipient. To President McKinley Gomez says: "In the Field near Sancti Spiritus, March 1, 1897. "The Hon. William McKinley, President of the United States of America—Sir: Gen. Weyler has arrived in the district of Sancti Spiritus with a numerous army. He comes not to fight nor to oppose his strength to the forces with which I defend these parts, but as a sanguinary and cruel general, who will avoid combats, and spread desolation and crime everywhere. He comes to murder the peasants in the fields, to kill the children and to drive our persecuted and outraged women to the woods leaving their homes to be burned, their hearts violated and their gardens destroyed. This is how Gen. Weyler pacifies Sancti Spiritus, or wherever he may be. Then he authorizes those who ask him for bread for their children and alleviation for their miseries to go out into the country to steal and destroy whatever they may find. "With this permit me to send you a copy of a letter which I had the honor to send your predecessor in office, Mr. Grover Cleveland. It is the hope that it may move you to sacred action that induces me to take up my pen trouble you." The letter to Cleveland is very long, and it is an earnest appeal for the intervention of the United States in behalf of unarmed men, women and children who are represented to be ruthlessly slaughtered by Spanish soldiers. Gen. Gomez says: "Look through the world, and you will see how all people, with the possible exception of the American, contemplate with indifference or with sentimental platonism the war which makes red the beautiful fields of fertile Cuba, as if it were a thing foreign to their interests and those of modern culture, as if it were not a crime to forget in this manner the duties of social brotherhood. "But you know it is not Cuba alone; it is America, it is all Christianhood, it is all humanity that sees itself outraged young William Islip wrote about his voyage to California and what he saw here. Dam decided to take a similar vogage. I came in 1837. Islip wa in San Francisco in 1834 and 1835 Then he came to the Pueblo of Los Angeles and joined in the rush to the gold fields at Coloma in 1848. He always declared the first golddiscovery in California was made in San Miguel Canyon, near the Camulus ranch in Ventura county, where Don Felipe Alvarado found several hundred dollars worth of gold nuggets in 1843. Islip irry on the Sacramento river was named after the deceased. He establish that ferry in 1850. BUENA PARK ITEMS. The L.M.A.S. met with Mrs.Jas.A. Whiaker on Friday of last week for the annual meeting. A large attendance of the members together with the delightful entertainment of the hostess made this one of the most ejoyable meetings of the year. After the election of officers the courtesies of the occasion were gracefully given. Mrs.J. Whitaker in retiring from the Presidency said, "As I reach the completion of my term of office I would like to give expression to that of which my heart is full. I appreciate the honor you have conferred upon me, and I am grateful for the pleasure that has come to me through my connection with the official work of this society, for the loyal support you have accorded me and your uniform kindness and courtesy. There are many things that an abler woman would have done better, but I have striven always to do my best and to fulfill conscientiously the duties which have come to me. I bespeak for my successor only the same measure of loyalty and kindness that has been shown to me; it will suffice, and she will come in that happy company, 'Where every stranger seems a friend and every friend a sister.'" Following ladies were elected to serve the coming year: Mrs.R.A.Sailor, President; Mrs.Jas.Speidel,Vice President; Mrs.R.C.AArchibald,Treasurer; Miss EmmaT.Cox,Secretary. The next meeting will be at Mrs.Char.Bixby's. Saturday was a gala day for the school children. They had a delightful picnic at Sycamore canon.

In New Mexico among Navajoes these blankets are curious products. The designs are original with each worker and are interesting imprints of individual impressions. One displayed by an army woman, lately returned from a considerable stay at a fort near Santa Fe, has black trains of cars wandering over its red ground. The Indian who made it evidently admired the sweep of a railroad train and reproduced it so far as possible in the blanket. Another in the same collection has a queer mixed border of scrolls and figures without apparent relation and still jumbled together in a sort of harmony. This, the present owner relates, was admired by a friend of hers, and in consequence a request to duplicate it was made of its maker. But the old squaw promptly refused. A papoose of hers had died while she blanket was being wrought, and in her simple reasoning the two facts were effect and cause. The pattern had been witched by she baby, and no inducement could coax a repetition of the work.—New York Post. A Judge of English on the Bench.

It sets forth that treaty has been operative against revenues of the United States, as vitally detrimental to the beet industry here. It appears that the treaty during the years 1890-1905, the Hawaiian islands adjoining free goods to the value of $15-$20, showing that in the interchange business between the two countries islands enjoyed 78 per cent of the volume and this is naturally induced under the augmenting exports air imports from the United States. would indicate that the treaty is partially reciprocal; that the United States has been unnecessarily used of a vast amount of customs duties appear to be indicated statistics footing up to over $72,000.

St. Joseph, Mo., March 29.—Knives and clubs were used in a race war in the northern part of the city last night, and several deaths may be the result. Coroner Richmond attempted to hold and inquest on the body of Mrs. James Payne, a negro woman who died under circumstances that are considered suspicious, and the husband of the dead woman and her neighbors resisted. The coroner and constables were driven away by a mob headed by Payne. They returned an hour later, accompanied by nearly a dozen police officers, heavily armed, and the trouble was renewed. A hundred negroes had gathered, and they refused to give the body up to the Coroner. The police and negroes fought with knives, clubs and revolvers, while the body of the dead woman was carried out of the house. A desperate attempt to get possession of the dead body was again made by the negroes, after it had been placed in the wagon, and the fight was resumed. The body was taken to the morgue, where an inquest was held. Several hundred negroes gathered about the place, but were held at bay by the police guard that was placed about the premises. CAME TO THE COAST IN THIRTY-THREE. POMONA, March 28.—The oldest American resident in this part of California (possibly the oldest in Southern California) died suddenly last night at Azusa. He was William Islip, aged 83 years. He came from New Bedford, Mass., on a whaling voyage and landed in San Diego in 1833. He was so charmed with the climate and scenery of California that he never afterwards left the State. His letters to his brothers in New Bedford were the cause of the coming of the author of "Two Years Before the Mast" to California. Richard Henry Dana was in New Bedford in the summer of 1836, recuperating his health after hard work at Harvard College. There he chanced to read the letters that A Judge of English on the Bench. James Lane Allen of the Chicago bar is one of the most polished of men. A public reader, an author of charming sketches, a lover of books, he has color of titles to position in the ranks of the literati. One time he was arguing a case before Judge Gary previous to that jurist's elevation to the appellate bench and came to a point which turned on the construction of a sentence. Mr. Allen was satisfied his reading of the sentence was right and was amazed when Judge Gary held against him. The suavest of men, he said, "But, if the court please"—and paused, puzzled for a fitting statement. Then his temper got the better of him, and he went on, "If the court please, it may be the court knows more law than I do, but I really think I am the better judge of English language." "That may be," said Judge Gary mildly, "but I do not see what bearing it has on this case. I am on the bench and you are not." And the court's English stood.—Chicago Post. Viper's Blood. The opinion has prevailed among scientists that the viper which resists incinations of its own venom was exempt because it was accustomed to the poison. They have found that the blood contains the same poisonous qualities as the venom itself and from this drew the conclusion. But it has been discovered that in addition to the poison the blood contains another substance that neutralizes the toxio principle. To ascertain the effects of heat upon the poison a portion of viper's blood was heated to 588 C. and maintained at this temperature for a quarter of an hour. Guinea pigs inoculated with this blood not only did not die, but were proof against inoculations of fresh blood, which would, if at first employed, cause instant death.—New York Ledger.

And it is simply because of habit. Nearly all the railroads in that city, in the older part of the city, or Brooklyn as it was before Williamsburg was annexed and assimilated, converge at the city hall, and until two or three years ago the town clock was in the cupola of that building. During the many years that it announced the time by bell and indicated on four dials to the Brooklynites every person who passed "the hall" looked to see what time it was. The habit became an instinct to most Brooklynites, and today, although they know that fire destroyed the cupola, clock and all, there hardly a person who steps from a car at the City Hall square or passes the building who does not look inquiringly toward the spot where the clock was that is not.—New York Times. The First Astronomy. The beginnings of astronomy were on the tops of towers of Babylon and the temples of Egypt. It is believed by many writers that both classes of structures were erected for astronomical purposes. As early as the time of Job, nearly 2,000 years before Christ, most of the stars had been divided into constellations. The writer of Job mentions Octurus, Orion and Pleiades as being familiar. The modern science dates from the labors of Copernicus, Tycho, Drake and Newton. Notice to Creditors. Estate of T: F. Seitz, deceased.
