THE GRADERS ARRIVE. A Mile of Roadbed Graded Yesterday. The Outfit Arrives on Monday at Noon, and Goes Into Camp at Miraflores—Ground Broken Near the Ford Place on Tuesday Morning, and a Half Mile of Roadbed Graded the First Day—Graders Will Reach the City Limits. Tomorrow or the Next Day—Santa Ana Street to be Graded Its Full Length From East to West Streets—The Outfit, it is Said, Will Have Work Here for Six Weeks, and Perhaps for a Longer Period—Four Weeks to be Consumed on the Job in Hand. The Grant Bros.' grading outfit arrived on Monday at noon, and went into camp for dinner on Los Angeles street, a short distance north of Sycamore street. The first intelligence concerning the arrival of the outfit was brought in by Oscar Zeyn, who came up town at half-past 12 with the news that the graders had just arrived and gone into camp under the trees in front of the old Hart place. The Sycamore-street cement ditch was running full of water at the time, and proved an advantageous point for the watering of the stock. A GAZETTE reporter walked over and sized up the party. He found the men at dinner, discussing heartily a repast of meat, bread and coffee, and other food usually found in a well-ordered grading outfit. The party was in charge of W. J. Burton, foreman of the gang, who said the party consisted of 40 men and 25 teams. He thought they would be at the job about 30 days. The outfit left Los Angeles at 6 o'clock that morning. After dinner the outfit hitched up and proceeded through town to the depot, where two carloads of provisions and scrapers and other tools were unloaded and placed upon wagons. Shortly after 3 the outfit pulled out for the camp at the county well at Miraflores. The graders began work on the new line on Tuesday morning. Ground was broken just this side of the Ford place, a mile this side of the river, where the new line leaves the old roadbed and runs due north toward this city. By nightfall fully a half mile of roadbed had been graded. The grade was very easy and the work progressed rapidly. MIXED THE LOTS UP. George Boyd Builds His Residence Partly on Charley Ramella's Lot—How the Mistake Came About—the Error Rectified. When Henry Boege measured off his lot on Olive street, adjoining that of Charley Ramella, some days ago, he found, somewhat to his astonishment, that Ramella's house, which had just been moved to the lot from its former place on Santa Ana street, projected some sixteen feet upon his (Boege's) property. Similarly it appeared that George Boyd's new residence, adjoining Ramella's house on the north, had been built squarely upon the line dividing his property from Ramella's. Boyd's deep well was found to be on Ramella's lot, and his tankhouse and barn also projected several feet upon the land of his southerly neighbor. Boyd owns lots 16 and 17 of the Center tract, opposite the Del Campo property. Before building, some weeks ago, he engaged the services of Surveyor Kellogg to lay off the lot, and the latter, it appears, located Boyd upon lots 17 and 18. Boyd began the erection of his dwelling and has about completed one of the neatest residences in the city. He was anticipating the pleasure of moving into the house in the near future when Boege and Ramella walked over and said there must be some mistake about the location of the building. They had just found by measuring from the south that Ramella's house projected into Boege's property, and by similar analogy found that Boyd's new residence was likewise too far south by some sixteen feet. Measurements by Boyd to the north proved such conclusively to be the fact. There should be but one lot between his north line and the lot of J. H. Clabaugh, and the tape line showed plainly enough there were two. Kellogg was communicated with and came over from Santa Ana on Monday and was in consultation with the parties affected. After discussing the situation in all its details, Kellogg agreed to pay for the deeding of lot 16 by Boyd to Boege, lot 18 by Ramella to Boyd, and lot 19 by Boege to Ramella. Thus what might have proven a bothersome error was amicably adjusted by the parties in interest. WALNUT MARKETING. Valuable Suggestions From Mr. Neff Relative to Handling the Coming Crop. ANAHEIM, Cal., May 10, 1899. EDITOR GAZETTE.—While the past season was not a successful one as regards quantity and quality of the walnuts Preserving Works. The Cannery Being Placed in Readiness For the Approaching Season—Opens June 15th. A force of employees has been busily engaged for some weeks past at the cannery, putting the works in order for the opening of the season, which will begin about June 15th. The main building, which has been recently enlarged to double its capacity, is 50x200 feet in dimensions. The office has been moved to the southwest corner. Here the reporter found Mr. Weisel, President of the cannery, hard at work, looking over bills of lading and account preparatory to the beginning of active operations later on. His son Peter, Secretary of the company, was also at his desk, attending to correspondence. Supt. Kennedy is also at work early and late, directing the installing of the new machinery and the remodeling of the premises. Two new vats, a new crane, two new elevators and 50 cooking trays have been placed in position. The boiler room is 14x30. The boiler door stood open, having just been inspected by the insurance inspector and pronounced in first-class condition. Adjoining the boiler room will be constructed a tool shop 10x14 feet. Two new syrup tanks have been placed in the syrup room, as well as a large new syrup vat, constructed of sugar pine. The capacity of the syrup-tanks is 600 gallons, and the syrup is cooked in galvanized steel pipes—no iron being used about the syrup. Adjoining the syrup room is the ladies' dressing room 10x16, with all modern conveniences. South of the dressing room is the tomato room 10x60 feet. New vats have been installed for washing fruit, and the front of the main room has been laid off in a commodious receiving room, adjoining which is the peeling room, with a capacity, together with the other employees of the establishment, of 200 hands. All the fruit will be washed after peeling and before being placed in cans to undergo the cooking process. The syrup will be fed into the cans by air pressure, as was done last season. The daily output is placed at 15,000 cans. Three new steam jacket tiltting copper kettles have been put in, for jams, jellies and plea fruit. Two of them are of 30 gallons capacity, and one of ten gallons. There are 48 electric lights in the cannery, which will afford ample light for operations after nightfall. Two cars of sugar have been received, and a stock of 200,000 labels procured. A new "Holley label" has been adopted, and of these 125,000 have been ordered. Three thousand pickling boxes are on hand, and a stock of 24,000 cans left After dinner the outfit hitched up and proceeded through town to the depot, where two carloads of provisions and scrapers and other tools were unloaded and placed upon wagons. Shortly after 3 the outfit pulled out for the camp at the county well at Mirafores. The graders began work on the new line on Tuesday morning. Ground was broken just this side of the Ford place, a mile this side of the river, where the new line leaves the old roadbed and runs due north toward this city. By nightfall fully a half mile of roadbed had been graded. The grade was very easy and the work progressed rapidly. Last evening the roadbed had been graded to within a short distance of the Santa Fe track. The graders will reach the southern city limits probably by to-morrow or by Saturday. Although about a half mile of roadbed will be graded daily, Foreman Burton estimates the work in hand will consume four weeks, if not more. Santa Ana and Olive streets will be graded up to the official grade, and this job will consume some time. Santa Ana street will be graded, so it is stated, its full length east and west, so that the grade will extend east from Olive street to East Street. The grade stakes have been set along the eastern portion of Santa Ana street, and all is in readiness for the graders. The grading outfit is encamped at Mirafores. There are 18 tents, including a large kitchen and dining tent. A Chinese cook is attached to the outfit, and the men seem to be well fed. The stock is in exceptionally good condition. Butcher Fleischman has the contract for supplying the graders with meat. He has instructions to serve them with beef during a period of six weeks, and has been informed the graders will perhaps remain here for a longer time. Engineer Boschke and James Cashin of the firm of Grant Bros. came down on Monday morning's train, and in company of L. A. Grant, who had arrived the day before, drove out over the route toward the river for the purpose of selecting a camping place for the graders and arranging with the county for water. Mr. Boschke returned to Santa Barbara on Monday afternoon. Mr. Cashin took Tuesday afternoon's train for the north. Considerable speculation has been indulged in relative to the building of the road to Placentia, and it is given out in well-informed quarters that the road will be built while the graders are here. Absolutely no information concerning the Placentia branch is obtainable from headquarters, but the fact that Santa Ana street will be graded its full length east and west, as well as the further fact that the grading outfit understand they will be here some six weeks if not longer, seems to indicate that grading on that branch will begin as soon as the work in hand is completed. Mr. Pattison is looked for to return from San Francisco at any time, and it is believed that when he comes he will proceed at once to secure rights-of-way for that branch. Rumors are also current that the graders will construct the roadbed from Benedict station to Smeltzerville, as well as from Los Alamitos to Long Beach. Plans and specifications for the depot and warehouses to be erected by the railroad company up town show the buildings to be large and commodious structures, which will add greatly to the upbuilding of the city. Walnut Growers. The walnut-growers' meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce, in Los Angeles. VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS From Mr. Neff Relative to Handling the Coming Crop ANAHEIM, Cal., May 10, 1899. EDITOR GAZETTE—While the past season was not a successful one as regards quantity and quality of the walnut crop, the prices obtained were, on the whole, better than those received previous year; but the walnut grower did not receive as much as he should have received in a year of short European crops. We were informed early in the season that Italian walnuts were being offered in New York at 8 1-8 cents per pound, and without further investigation the price of California walnuts was placed at 6 cents for No. 1 hardshells and 7 cents for No. 1 softshells. It now appears that this reported price was about one cent too low, and that the price was nearly 9 1-8 cents, which price was afterward reported to some of our prominent growers. We are paying too much freight on our product when its character is considered, as some other articles of equally perishable nature are carried for less price. This is a matter that can and should be corrected, and no doubt would be corrected if proper representation was made. We make the same price for the middle west that we do for the Atlantic seaboard, and establish our prices to compete with imported walnuts at New York. The average freight rate from New York to the western distributing points is about one-half cent per pound, and we should be able to profit by the difference in cost of imported walnuts at these prices. If we estimate the crop of the past year at 350 cars, of ten tons each, the mistake in naming the price cost us from $35,000 to $70,000, depending on whether it would have been thought best to advance the price either one-half or one cent per pound at the time of setting prices. Walnuts should be carried at not to exceed $1 per 100 pounds, which would have made a saving of $21,000. Then, if three-fourths of the crop, or 250 cars, only were marketed from Chicago and west, there should have been a gain of $25,000, making altogether a gain of $130 to $180 per 100 pounds on those sold in the west, and 80 cents to $130 per 100 pounds on those sold east of Chicago, or a total gain on 350 cars of $81,000 to $116,000, and instead of about $420,000, which we received last year, we should have had at least $500,000. An additional saving might also have been made in the matter of brokerage which would have added considerable to the total. We make too great a difference in price between hardshells and softshells. There has been a greater demand for the lower priced walnuts and likely one-half cent difference would be more nearly the proper price. We cannot expect to attain these results until we are united, and as matters now stand the walnut growers along with other producers are helping to swell the profits of those people who are wiser than we and have made their trusts and combinations.

The walnut-growers' meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce, in Los Angeles, on Wednesday, May 10th, was attended by about fifty growers from the different nut-raising sections of Southern California. W. H. Spurgeon of Santa Ana was elected chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Montgomery of Riverside secretary. After considerable discussion an agreement similar to that of last year was drawn and copies ordered sent to the different walnut associations for signatures; these associations to send delegates to an executive meeting on June 6th when the organization of an executive committee will be perfected. Several propositions were made to the associations to take all the walnuts grown in California, but no action was taken. The general opinion is that the crop will not be large and that prices should be higher than last year, with a difference of but one-half cent per pound between hard shells and soft shells. PLACENTIA. Rev. E. R. Watson gave a very interesting lecture on "From Paris to Greece," illustrated with 50 magic lantern views. The light was splendid and showed the pictures clear and distinct. It was very instructive and enjoyed by all who had the good fortune to hear it. T. Staley is building another flume. John Evans went down to Newport fishing last week and caught 200 halibut in two hours. He expects to try his luck again this week. He also reports that he saw G. B. Key and Geo. Ruddock holding the wharf down, and all they caught was a cold. A. S. Bradford is having a barn built. G. W. B. Hewes has had his barn enlarged. Mrs. Bowman of San Francisco is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. McFadden. The walnut crop will be fair and oranges good; An additional saving might also have been made in the matter of brokerage which would have added considerable to the total. We make too great a difference in price between hardshells and softshells. There has been a greater demand for the lower priced walnuts and likely one-half cent difference would be more nearly the proper price. We cannot expect to attain these results until we are united, and as matters now stand the walnut growers along with other producers are helping to swell the profits of those people who are wiser than we and have made their trusts and combinations. The important thing is to unite. Our method of doing business may not be perfect at first, but that will improve with experience. When we agree upon the main fact that we will work together and follow our chosen leaders to the end of the season; keep our agreements without watching and urging, there is not much doubt of the result. The tendency of the age is toward consolidation of interests, and such being the fact, it certainly stands the farmers in hand to be well organized, as they are always the weakest of the weak, and only so because it seems next to impossible to get them to stand together. If we are perfectly organized, we can always assist one another, in case one is in need of money for gathering his crop or other purposes, as arrangements can be made with any bank to make a loan on the association's note, for there can be no better security, and at the same time the association is secure, as it has the crop in hand. We will have no trouble in finding buyers, as all will know where the walnuts are to be had, and that they will run no risk of lower prices when buying in large lots, for the price will already be lower than the price of equal quality European nuts, and can always be guaranteed to the buyer. The Central Exchange becomes the broker, and sells the walnuts for the actual cost of transacting the business, while we make a merchant of the present broker, and allow him to supply his customers as before. J. B. NEFF. Edward Atherton has sold the Placentia ostrich farm to a company of New York capitalists. Mr. Atherton will be retained as manager of the farm. New birds have been purchased, and there are now some 300 ostriches on the farm. Tomato Plants For sale by Bisby, Turk & Co. Several varieties: Crop Bulletin. U. S. Department of Agriculture, California section, climate and crop service, Weather Bureau, San Francisco, May 15: Extremely high temperatures prevailed in most sections in the early part of the week, accompanied and followed by high northerly winds, causing some damage to wheat in the valleys. In Southern California haying continues and the yield is generally above average. Pasturage is still plentiful. The recent frosts in Central California injured grapes in many localities, but present indications are that a large crop will be gathered. Curl leaf is affecting peaches in the Sonoma valley but in most sections an unusually heavy yield is expected. It is probable that crop of deciduous fruits throughout the State will be above the average. Citrus fruits are in excellent condition and in the Sacramento valley prospect are good for an immense yield of oranges of good quality. Sugar beets are making favorable growth.

Herman Stern returned from San Francisco on Tuesday morning after an absence of ten days. He visited Menlo Park, Golden Gate park, the Cliff House and Sutro baths, the latter of which he pronounces the finest he ever saw. On two trips on the ferry-boat across the bay he witnessed the spectacle, once of a woman and the second time of a man, jumping overboard with suicidal intent; so set in his purpose to destroy himself was the man that he tied a bag full of rocks about his neck, and springing overboard plunged downward out of sight. While walking along Market street he came suddenly upon a crowd gathered about a stabbing affray, and while on a street car on Monday he witnessed the act of a woman throwing vitriol in the face of a man, both man and woman being burned with the acid. Herman attended the Grand Lodge as a delegate of the local lodge, and reports enjoying his initial trip to the northern metropolis to the fullest extent. While George Hagar's horse was standing at Mr. Hanna's residence at Miraflores on Monday afternoon hitched to a vehicle, it took fright at the fall of Mr. Hagar's little boy, who had climbed into a tree and fallen to the ground, overturning a quantity of implements stored in an iron kettle at its side. It dashed into the orchard badly frightened and circled about the trees, demolishing the vehicle, and had started on a run for the street when Mrs. Hagar called to it, "Whoa!" The animal, trembling with fright, wheeled about and ran toward her, stopping in front of her as if to be rescued from its predicament. Mr. Hanna, on informing the reporter of the occurrence, observed that fewer runaways would be experienced if people would speak to the horses when the animals get in an exotic condition; and by similar analogy is also of the opinion that fewer accidents of the kind would have to be recorded if little boys would kindly refrain from falling out of tree tops and frightening horses. Secretary Gardiner of the school board last week served notice upon Prof. Evans to discontinue school for the term on June 2d, but Prof. Greeley the next day issued the new apportionment of school moneys, and the school will continue until June 16, at which date all the departments of the public school will close for the summer vacation. C.G. McKinley returned last week from Albuquerque, N.M., where he obtained a decision in the United States Circuit Court, in the case of the Orange county fruit exchange against the Sheriff of that county, who in April, 1896, at the instance of one Stamm, an Albuquerque fruit dealer, attached a car of oranges passing through that town on its way to Omaha, judgment being given in the amount of $520. Stamm claimed to have a grievance against the Southern California fruit exchange, and being approuised in some manner of the arrival of the car, caused the Sheriff to siege it under attachment. Mr. McKinley, on being informed of the attachment, at once wired the Sheriff that he would be held responsible for the loss of the fruit Stamm gave the Sheriff an indemnifying bond, in the amount of $400, and at the ensuing Sheriff's sale, bid in the fruit at $250, paying $270 additional for the freight; making a total of $520. The suit came up in the United States Circuit Court for the Albuquerque district, and lasted but half an hour, when the Justice rendered a verdict in favor of the association and against Stamm. The Judge refused to permit the association to offer evidence showing that the value of the fruit at Omaha at that time would been about $603 net, but had no hesitancy in arriving at a decision in favor of the association according to the law and evidence. Three years have elapsed before it was possible to bring case to trial. Stamm filed a superdeal bond and took the case on appeal to the Supreme Court of New Mexico.
