The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY...3...JANUARY 12, 1899 SOME opposition appears to have arisen to the plan of disposing of the cannery to Mr. Weisel at 80 cents on the dollar; although we hope no antagonism will develop itself sufficiently to interfere with the trade, which is now sought to be made at that figure. The cannery's treasury has a balance of some $1300 on hand as a net clean-up, after its first season's run, and this surplus will go to the purchaser of the stock, which, at 80 cents on the dollar, will net the purchaser an increment of $1000—the cannery being capitalized at $5000. If the stock is to be sold to Mr. Weisel at 80 cents, said one of the most intelligent stockholders to us a day or two ago, by all means let us retain our interest in the money which we have earned during the first year's campaign. But it seems to us there is another and a broader-minded way of looking at the transfer. If Mr. Weisel shall succeed, as now seems quite probable, in getting an option on the bulk of the stock at 80, then the net bonus to him, including the money the cannery has in bank, will reach $2300. This is to be presented to him as a contribution, as an incentive to his investment of $30,000 in the erection and equipping of a new cannery plant at this point. Orange and Santa Ana, and we believe Mr. Groom of Ontario (the gentleman whom we had with us last year desirous of associating himself with the enterprise), have made him very tempting offers to go to those places and invest his money; and we believe Fullerton people have also been in correspondence with him. Stockholders in the cannery, who assisted in the inauguration of the enterprise not so much to make money for themselves as for the purpose of creating a market for the deciduous fruit which had hitherto gone to waste in the valley, and for the purpose of giving employment to labor, will not grumble if we realize that it is necessary for us to meet these outside inducements to Mr. Weisel to locate his plant in their communities. True, the excellent reputation made by the cannery during the past year, the high Holidays have arrived Now comes the time for us THE GREATEST EVER KNOW CLOSE Men's and Boys' Overcoats FURNISHING Gents' Neckwear Collars and Cuffs FINE Woolen and DRY GOOD Outing Flannel Light and Dark Colors Ladies' Capes in Astrachan, Plush and Kersey Ladies' Wood Plads and believe Fullerton people have also been in correspondence with him. Stockholders in the cannery, who assisted in the inauguration of the enterprise not so much to make money for themselves as for the purpose of creating a market for the deciduous fruit which had hitherto gone to waste in the valley, and for the purpose of giving employment to labor, will not grumble if we realize that it is necessary for us to meet these outside inducements to Mr. Weisel to locate his plant in their communities. True, the excellent reputation made by the cannery during the past year, the high standard of its output, and the active inquiry for large quantities of the coming season's output, are all available assets of no little import at this stage of the proceedings; but let us meet these outside money contributions as well; let us sell at 80 and throw in the treasury surplus. Again, while the cannery has been eminently successful the first season of its existence and would undoubtedly be another year, yet the fact remains that with a capital of only $5000 the shareholders can never hope to embrace those opportunities for profit in the canning business that the industry offers, to men of larger capital. For instance, had the capacity of the cannery been doubled the past season, the profits must inevitably have been far greater than that ratio. When apricots come in with a rush in the warm days of June the capacity of the cannery must be sufficient to care for the whole of the crop; apricots deteriorate quickly; the crop is of short duration; an orchard will be at its best today, with its tons of luscious fruit ready for the pickers, and within a week the trees are bare. The crop has passed out of existence. Unless the cannery be of sufficient capacity to care for the whole of the crop, there is resultant loss to the stockholders; they have not been able to embrace the opportunities of the crop, and there is corresponding financial loss in consequence. The present shareholder are not financially able to raise the $25,000 necessary to place the cannery in a first-class paying condition; to enlarge it so as to be able to take advantage of these golden opportunities of the crop. A $5000 cannery may do very well in its way; the local enterprise has abundant reason to be proud of the excellent results that have attended its first season's operations; but a $25,000 cannery is what the necessities of the situation demand. Mr. Weisel, we believe, contemplates the expenditure of $30,000 in the erection of a cannery building and placing therein a full complement of all the latest and most approved machinery. A number of the near-by communities, quick to note the incalculable advantages to accrue to their sections by the expenditure of this amount of money in their localities, have been after him with propositions; some good, some not so good. Can we afford to permit ourselves to be caught napping in face of all these circumstances? Certainly not. Of course we consider that Mr. Weisel is too patriotic an Anahemer to think of erecting a cannery at any consequences. The Christmas holiday trade was hardly up to the average, when with an inch of rainfall in December the shops would have been crowded with eager purchasers. Times have been dull during the year, and many a family, among the poorer classes, were reduced to the pinchness of poverty. The patter upon the roof and window pane drives away the last remnant of fear as to the outcome of the season. Last year was the worst season ever experienced in California. This year promises to be the best. The country at large seems to be experiencing prosperity from one end of the land to the other. There is more money in the country than at any time in our history, and the balance of trade has set very heavily in our favor. Only in California, where local conditions have conspired to make times hard, is the exception to be noted to the rule. Now that we have experienced our first satisfactory rainstorm in two years, we confidently believe there will be a awakening of industry in this State that will find no parallel in the history of the commonwealth. All day long on Tuesday the rain fell in generous showers, delighting the heart of the inhabitant. At nightfall the indications were good for an all-night's downpour, and the average citizen went to bed with a prayer to Jupiter Pluvius upon his lips to turn on the flood gates of heaven and send the rain to drive depression and hard times away. With our normal amount of rainfall yet to come, the year 1899 will mark the most prosperous season ever experienced in the State. Orange county has not presented such a smile of satisfaction in two years as it wears as a result of Tuesday's splendid rain. A Clever Trick! It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys. Malaria or nervous troubles. A BIG LANDSLIDE Has Changed the Course of the River. CHICAGO, Jan. 8—A Tribune article from Vancouver, B.C. says: New received here today of a trembling landslide near Spence's bridge, on Canadian Pacific railway. The thaw had the effect of loosening sides of a small mountain which hangs the Fraser river at that point. The mountain has long been an area of curiosity to travelers on account its peculiar position, its flat summit tending a considerable distance—the river which is narrow at this Shortly after midnight, with that could be heard for a mile, four hundred acres of the hill, any from twenty to fifty feet in crashed into the Fraser river, darling it completely and sending the water torrents over the fertile Nicola Valley. The course of the river was completely. Now the Fraser, which owing flat nature of the country has into a broad and majestic but still stream, is fully half a mile our course. The district is sparsely populated and no lives have been lost, as known. Barns and houses were built in the flood and carried away thousands of acres of valuable land never be reclaimed from the waters of the Fraser in its new course. At the point where the mass earth dammed the river, flat land gathered and raised high in forming an imposing and picturesque sight. The collapsed mountain provides a queer aspect. It looks as if dyne had been discharged near its rump summit. The Santa Fe Limited.

The train consists of a positive car with buffet and smoky the expenditure of $30,000 in the erection of a cannery building and placing therein a full complement of all the latest and most approved machinery. A number of the near-by communities, quick to note the incalculable advantages to accrue to their sections by the expenditure of this amount of money in their localities, have been after him with propositions; some good, some not so good. Can we afford to permit ourselves to be caught napping in face of all these circumstances? Certainly not. Of course we consider that Mr. Weisel is too patriotic an Anaheimer to think of erecting a cannery at any point other than here at his home; but let us meet his generosity half-way and dispose of our stock to him at 80 (which is the price he has asked it for), and include the treasury surplus with the stock. That amount ($1300) will not go very far when we consider that it is our fellow-townsman's intention to make an investment of $40,000 for the erection of one of the largest and finest-equipped canneries in the State. We hope the little opposition that has appeared upon the surface to the disposal of the cannery to our enterprising fellow-townsman will not seriously hinder the trade. Mr. Weisel is too good a man for Anaheim to lose for $1300—he would be cheap at double the price! The Janet Waldorf company played "As You Like It" to a small audience at the Opera-house on Saturday evening. The company had no band, gave no street parade, nor did they distribute prizes. Shakespeare is a bit over our heads in this town. The finest rain that has fallen in two years began about 8:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning and continued during the entire day. It gladdened the heart of the farmer and city business man, for it toore away the possibility of a repetition of last year's drought. Deny it with as much force as we may, the fact remains that under the outward semblance of confidence in a sufficient rainfall to mature crops, there has existed among the people during the fall a lurking dread that another dry season was to be visited upon us, with its long train of unwholesome A clever trick! It certainly looks like it, but there is really no trick about it. Anybody can try it who has Lame Back and Weak Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles. We mean he can cure himself right away by taking Electric Bitters. This medicine tones up the whole system, acts as a stimulant to Liver and Kidneys, is a blood purifier and nerve tonic. It cures Constipation, Headache, Fainting spells, Sleeplessness and Mellancholy. It is pure vegetable, a mild lexative, and restores the system to its natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and be convinced that they are a miracle worker. Every bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents a bottle at Derge's Drug Store. As showing the utter unreliability of the local correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, the following extract from his communication of some days ago will make it abundantly apparent: "P. Weisel's offer to make an investment of $30,000 at Orange in return for the donation of a $1500 tract of land has been practically accepted, the amount asked being nearly fully subscribed. Mr. Weisel will put up a canning factory at Orange in the event of acceptance of his terms. He desired to purchase the factory at this city, and would have done so, but could not arrive at satisfactory terms with the company." The slap at this city is apparent. Mr. Weisel will erect his cannery here—his investment of $30,000 will be made here; of that there was never any doubt except in the minds of those who were unformed, and who were anxious to give the town a slap while the opportunity lasted. Only that and nothing more. Casca Ferrine Bitters differs from the other proprietary remedies on the market in that it does not cure all of the diseases that flesh is heir to. It never falls, however, in stomach troubles, constipation, malaria, etc., and is the only tonic laxative in the world. It is sold by all up-to-date saloons and drug stores. The Santa Fe Limited.

A BIG LANDSLIDE Changed the Course of the Fraser River. CHICAGO, Jan. 8.—A Tribune special in Vancouver, B.C. says: News was lived here today of a tremendous slide near Spence's bridge, on the Madian Pacific railway. The recent war had the effect of loosening the of a small mountain which overgives the Fraser river at that point. Mountain has long been an object curiosity to travelers on account of peculiar position, its flat summit exing a considerable distance over river which is narrow at this point. After midnight, with a roar, could be heard for a mile, fully a dredes of the bill, anywhere a twenty to fifty feet in depth, dumped into the Fraser river, damming completely and sending the water in ents over the fertile Nicola valley. Course of the river was changed pletely. The Fraser, which, owing to the nature of the country, has grown a broad and majestic but shallow ham, is fully half a mile out of its sea. The district is sparsely settled no lives have been lost, as far as own. Barns and houses were caught the flood and carried away, and amounts of acres of valuable land will be reclaimed from the waters of Fraser in its new course. At the point where the masses of fish dammed the river, flat ice has merged and raised high in the air, being an imposing and picturesque trait. It looks as if dynamite has been discharged near its ragged mit. The Santa Fe Limited.

The supervisors conferred with District Attorney Williams in the matter, and it was upon his advice that the cuts were made. Geo. C. Hagar's demand was reduced from $2.60 to $56.50. F.P. Chaffee's from $61 to $34.50; W. L. Hale's from $78 to $63, and cute of from $2 to a few cents were made in the warrants of about half the others.

Wrecked a Bank Building at Ashburnham, Mass., Some Days ago. ASHBURNHAM, Mass., Jan. 9.—The safe of the First National Bank was blown to pieces by dynamite about 2 o'clock this morning. Deputy Sheriff Richardson, whose home is next to the bank building, was awakened by the shock of a heavy explosion which made the house tremble and windows rattle. Locating the source of the explosion he at once gave the alarm. The bank is on the second floor of a two-story brick building. The street door of the main entrance had been forced open with a Jimmy, and a similar process was applied to the door of the bank upstairs.

Locating the source of the explosion he at once gave the alarm. The bank is on the second floor of a two-story brick building. The street door of the main entrance had been forced open with a jimmy, and a similar process was applied to the door of the bank upstairs. The burglars evidently charged the iron safe heavily with dynamite, for the safe had been blown to pieces. Two of its doors were found half-way across the room, and a bar of iron had been blown through a window and nearly across the street. All the windows in the place were demolished, and the furniture was badly splintered. A large quantity of drafts and about $100 in money was found scattered about the floor. Cashier Sawyer estimates that the robbers took at least $1500 and perhaps $2000. The damage to the building is about $2000. From the havoc created it is judged that the burglars' knowledge of safeblowing was limited. The authorities have in mind the work done recently by burglars at the Bethel, Me., Savings Bank, the Wentham National Bank, the Phenix National Bank of Phoenix, R.

SALVIN & CO., Props. the evening after it happened, Thomas Graham, the man who was loading potatoes with Griggsby at the time that Griggsby was shot, said that Griggsby also had a pistol. The witness stated in his affidavit that Graham told him that when Griggsby saw Cook driving toward them, he went for his pistol, saying he was going to have it out with him for abusing Griggsby's wife about some roasting-cars. When Cook came up he had the weapon stuck in the front of his shirt. He alleged that when the two men faced each other and Cook had his pistol in his hand, Griggsby got excited, and when he tried to draw his pistol it got caught in his shirt, and that Cook shot him while he was trying to get it out. Nicholson also stated in this affidavit that Griggsby had threatened in his hearing to go to Cook's residence and call him out for a settlement of the matter. That Griggsby had carried a pistol before the shooting was not denied by his friends at the preliminary examination of Cook, but what became of it was a mystery that they did not explain.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 9.—The Chamber of Commerce and about fifty prominent tax-payers appeared before the board of supervisors Saturday, and urged the board to rescind a contract it had made with the law firms of Devlin & Devlin of Sacramento, and Rogers, Patterson & Slack of San Francisco to pay 33 1-3 percent contingent fee on all money collected for the county from the State on the way of commissions on state taxes. The amount of money claimed to be due Sacramento county is $38,000, and, if successful, the attorneys would get one-third of this. A decision will be made Wednesday. There are 41 other counties having similar suits, and it is understood that if Sacramento rescinds their contract other counties will do the same. Remember the "Bain!"

Senator Nutt of San Diego complains of his committee chairmanship. He desired to head the committee on harbors, so that he might more readily aid the contemplated state wharf at his port. Lieutenant-Governor Neff declined to accommodate him. Senator Shortridge of Santa Clara, in whose district the important harbor is Alviso slough, cut Nutt out. Senator Smith is still mad because he failed to obtain the chairmanship of the committee on appropriations. He is likewise a Grant man, and, while not admitting it, that fact is stated to have had a great deal to do with the committee assignments in both houses. Two Pointed Questions Answered. What is the use of making a better article than your competitor if you cannot get a better price for it? Ans.—As there is no difference in the price the public will buy only the better, so that while our profits may be smaller on a single sale they will be much larger in the aggregate. How can you get the public to know your make is the best? If both articles are brought prominently before the public both are certain to be tried and the public will very quickly pass judgment on them and use only the better one. This explains the large sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The people have been using it for years and have found that it can always be depended upon. They may occasionally take up with some fashionable novelty put forth with exaggerated claims, but are certain to return to the only remedy that they know to be reliable, and for coughs, colds and croup there is nothing equal to Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Bind and Gag a Policeman and Rob Everybody. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 9.—A special to the Post-Dispatch from Fort Scott, Kansas, says: "Two masked men early this morning captured a policeman, took him a mile in the woods and bound and gagged him, and with rare coolness, held up and robbed nine men in the Cottage House and Sayer House, two hotels on prominent business streets. "Edward Mead, an engineer on the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis, was shot by one of the robbers, and George H. Young, a colored man, who was mistaken for one of the robbers, was shot. Several hours after the robbery the police identified the bandits as they boarded the St. Louis Missouri and Texas passenger train, and had a pitched battle with them, but they got away. The robbery occurred on East Wall street, on Policeman Jones's beat. The Cottage House was entered first. One bandit kept the guests covered with his revolver, while the other robbed the men of their watches, pistols and money. The booty taken was about $150 and a number of watches. H. Dayton, a merchant and stockman of Golden City, Mo., who was just returning from market, was relieved of $100 and a watch. "Then the bandits went across the street to the Sayers House, and robbed the clerk and money-drawers."
