The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor. THURSDAY... JULY 20, 1899. OUT of the 57 counties in the State of California, there are but six that are more densely populated than Orange county. The statement sounds ambitious, but it is nevertheless true, the recent apportionment of State school moneys proving it conclusively. Orange stands fourteenth on the list among the counties of the State, in regard to population, no less than 43 counties following after her. Aside from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Alameda, and Santa Clara (the four most populous, as they are among the oldest, of the counties), and possibly also Sacramento and Santa Cruz, Orange follows in eighth place. Three of the seven counties lead by very slight margins, for while Orange reports 5429 census school children, Santa Cruz has 5431 (only two more); Tulare reports 5471 (42 more), and Monterey, 5446 (117 more). The other counties leading us are Sonoma, with 9107 children; Sacramento, with 8883; San Diego, with 8504; Fresno, with 7769; San Joaquin, with 7520; Humboldt, 6654, and San Bernardino, with 6528. When reference is had to territorial area, the preeminent position of Orange county is the more apparent, as it must be pleasing to her rapidly growing population. The county is territorially one of the smallest in the State, for while it embraces only 780 square miles, San Bernardino, which leads it by 1099 children, has more than twenty-six times its area, embracing, as it does, 20,055 square miles of territory. San Bernardino is, we believe, the largest county in the United States, having an area greater than the States of Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey and Rhode Island combined, with enough to spare almost to throw in the State of Connecticut for the second time. San Diego, which reports 8504 children, has an area of 8400 square miles (say one school child to each square mile); having an area nearly eleven times that of Orange county. The much-vaunted county of Riverside, having an area nine times that of Orange, reports 719 less children. Tulare has an area of 4935 square miles, six times that of Orange, while it leads pated in this abundant prosperity on account of its two seasons of drought; yet undertakings of great moment and enterprises affording openings for large investments of capital have been inaugurated, and we have scarcey fet the ill effects which some months ago we entertained more or less apprehensions about. The superb irrigation facilities which the county enjoys have been proving their efficacy during these times of drought, and more favorable comment has been drawn to the county than probably during any year since its organization. With prospects good for an abundant rainfall this coming winter, this section ought to be able to take a place very near the band wage at the head of the procession. WHEN Mr. Cargill went to the Sata Fe depot on Thursday morning let to purchase two tickets for San Diego and return, having seen the rate for the round trip advertised in Los Angeles the day before to be $3, he was informed that the round-trip rate, while fixed at $3 from Los Angeles, was no less than $6.50 from Anaheim, which is 27 miles nearer San Diego. He made forcible objection to this apparent discrimination, but was informed those were the rates fixed by the company, and could not be changed—Then a happy idea seized him. He took down the telephone and rang up the main office in Los Angeles. No one present at the time was empowered to change the rates. Then he called up the Los Angeles agent of the Coronado, and on making known his wants, had no trouble in getting the agent to procure two tickets, at $3 each for the round trip, and to forward them by the conductor on the afternoon train. The tickets arrived all right, and our fellow townsman and his daughter, after a delay of six hours in town, continued on their way to Coronado, paying $6 for two round-trip tickets, while the same tickets could not be purchased here for less than $13. Thus the railroad company's regulations credit money paid by Anaheim passengers to Los Angeles, the local agent is out his credit for selling the tickets, and an apparent discrimination against an intermediate point was very neatly set at naught. MR. NEFF last week made a sale of apricots, of the Briggetttl's French variety, from three-year-old trees in an orchard of thirteen acres, to the canneryed horse. GLANDERED HORSE Dr. Stolberg Gives Valuable Information for the Treatment of This Disease. Dr. Charles Stolberg, well-veterinary surgeon of this city, as follows relative to the treaties affected with glanders centently a number of horses at San have been found to be affected this disease, and Dr. Stolberg's will doubtless be found to be on his time: ANAHEIM, Cal., July 16, EDITOR GAZETTE—Dear Sir: latest number of your paper I item to the effect that a veterinary geo of Santa Ana has discovered cases of glanders in his dail and that he has ordered different killed. The great danger of these ers, or farcy illness, gives me oe to make public a preventative cine certain in its results which dered by the German govern veterinaries in all cases of this ous epidemic. All farmers ww about to drive into an epidemic must give their horses before start from three to five drops of bolic acid in one-fourth pint of oil. When the farmer comes home he required to take one quart of sulk water, into which he puts from it drops of corrosive sublimate, in the portion of 1 to 500, and wash noses of the horses. After crying nostrils and giving the horse ww drink, the same medicine used he started is used again. He will do very well if he clears nostrills of his animals before he them into the stable or barn. If he does as I have written, thieger of infection will be very small. Mules and donkeys are more sex to infection than horses. Allences in my practice in Germ well as that of many other German erinarians, show this fact. glanders is epidemic is a town medicine will be enough if they use it three times is one day's strength given. Horses or mules taken with gw or farcy should be killed in the est time. Glanders very often seizes up owner of the sick animals; in case the danger is as great as whi horses are affected. In most cases die in 24 to 36 days after the inttAll animals killed should be buried seven to eight feet deep,and shi covered with lime. The soil r tread very hard. Places where s are buried must be fenced in.years after the death of a glau horse infection is possible by th IRRIGATORS are getting along splendidly during the present season of shortage of water in the river, there being vastly more water than at this time last year. With the foggy nights prevailing, the supply is keeping up in a manner that would otherwise call forth surprise on the part of the orchardists. If the water holds out in plentiful supply another fortnight, which those best informed upon the subject consider almost certain, the period of scarcity will be well over, and with the lengthening of the nights, irrigators may look forward confidently to getting over the summer without injury to their trees. The nation's balance sheet for the year ending in June shows increases in our foreign trade that are marvelous. In spite of the war that disturbed the run of things, of abundant crops in other countries and consequent decrease in the demand for food stuffs, the total foreign trade of the country MR. NEFF last week made a sale of apricots, of the Brigghetti's French variety, from three-year-old trees in an orchard of thirteen acres, to the cannery, at the rate of $50 per ton. The variety was late, and the fruit averaged 6 to a pound. When it is considered that first-class apricots, as the market goes, are graded 9 and 10 to the pound, it will be seen that this fruit must have been of exceedingly large size, as well as of extra quality. The fruit was purchased by Mr. Weisel to fill out an order for fancy canned goods which he had recently received from the East. The price paid is the highest so far reported for Southern California, where the market reports quote the fruit at from $20 to $40 per ton, but prices in the North have been quoted as high as $55 and $60. From his older orchard Mr. Neff has gathered about 60 tons, the crop having probably by this time been all gathered. He is to be congratulated upon the success attending his efforts to produce high-grade fruit, for which he has expended a large amount of money upon his orchard; yet the bare expenditure of coin is not what has brought it to its present state of commanding excellence. He prunes and irrigates his trees, thins his fruit, and cultivates his orchard according to scientific methods; he has not a prop in the orchard, nor will he ever have, and the trees are of that deep dark green color that betokens the well-kept and well-cared-for plantation. Not so long ago apricot trees producing the finest fruit were grubbed up, because of the ridiculously small prices offering for them. Prices ranged from $6 to $8 per ton, and the growers saw little or no encouragement to continue in the industry. We were talking this week with an orchardist who grew the finest apricots on Orangethorpe avenue, but who took out his trees some years ago on account of the low prices offered for the fruit. But now that the market has been placed upon a healthy basis, a reawakening of latent energy may be looked for, and apricots may be raised upon a larger scale than ever. Certainly Mr. Neff has shown the profits in growing this fruit, and as there is no section on earth offering greater advantages to the grower of deciduous fruit than in this matchless valley, we may set down this crop as among the many others offering especial inducements to the horticulturists.

In most cases die in 24 to 36 days after the injury. All animals killed should be buried seven to eight feet deep, and shredded with lime. The soil must tread very hard. Places where animals are buried must be fenced in years after the death of a glacier infection is possible by which growth on the ground could be buried. We had examples of old country. C.J.

FARMING STATISTICS. Wheat. Barley. 14 Historians are getting excited about didly during the present season of shortage of water in the river, there being vastly more water than at this time last year. With the foggy nights prevailing, the supply is keeping up in a manner that would otherwise call forth surprise on the part of the orchardists. If the water holds out in plentiful supply another fortnight, which those best informed upon the subject consider almost certain, the period of scarcity will be well over, and with the lengthening of the nights, irrigators may look forward confidently to getting over the summer without injury to their trees. As a matter of fact, walnuts as well as citrus and deciduous trees never looked better than at the present time, the abundant irrigation given them during the past two months, under the apprehension of an impending shortage, having worked a transformation scene in the orchards that is a positive delight to the eye. While the rainfall that has probably fallen lately in the mountains has not been of sufficient volume to materially affect the flow of water in the river, the foggy nights, followed by a foggy atmosphere until perhaps 9 o'clock the next morning, have cooled the air, and have kept off the dry atmosphere of the desert, which ordinarily flows in after the sea breezes subside toward evening. This dry desert atmosphere has an appreciable effect upon a scant water supply, but so far this summer we have lost little through this atmospheric phenomenon. Our orchardists have not suffered a particle, and where land in the irrigable area is covered with stock sufficiently, no complaint has been heard, nor will there be, probably, during the summer season. The cement ditches have been running swift streams of fertilizer-laden water to all portions of the district, and during the week a slight increase in the volume has been apparent. As a matter of fact, the two dry years which the State has experienced have brought Orange county into greater relative prominence than could have resulted during a season of normal rainfall. No doubt is expressed that if we had had our normal amount of precipitation, Orange county would have enjoyed a period of far-reaching prosperity; for the country at large is experiencing better times than probably at any time during its history. California has unfortunately not particl- The nation's balance sheet for the year ending in June shows increases in our foreign trade that are marvelous. In spite of the war that disturbed the run of things, of abundant crops in other countries and consequent decrease in the demand for food stuffs, the total foreign trade of the country reached the enormous sum of $1,924,520,913, which is $67,000,000 greater than any previous year in the country's history, and the figures show the United States to have the right side of the ledger by the enormous sum of $530,368,037. We sold to other countries that much more of our products than we bought of theirs. At the same time we purchased from other countries $81,227,734 worth more of their products than we purchased in the preceding year. The importance of the showing is here—that whereas in other years the imports of the products of other countries have consisted largely of their manufactured products, in the year just past the imports have consisted largely of raw material of other countries, which we have taken into our factories, worked into finished products and sold back to the countries from which we made the original purchase. In 1898, 70 per cent of the exports of the United States consisted of agricultural and food products. Crops in other countries had been bad; war was threatened, and with it there seemed a possibility of a blockade of American ports that would hinder the exporting of breadstuffs and all other products. For this reason Europe made haste in her purchases of wheat, corn and like. With America's tremendous excess of exports over imports, and consequent balance of trade, the gold of other countries must necessarily travel our way. Good Train Service to the Beaches.

WEATHER REPORT U.S. Department of Agriculture formia Section, Climate and Crops Weather Bureau, July 17: General summary: The temp has been nearly normal throughout week, though slightly below tensions of the Sacramento valley San Diego. No rain was reported any station; but heavy fogs have frequent along the coast. Theditions have been favorable harvesting and threshing on Fruit picking and shipping having uninterruptedly. The wheat and barley crops are generally above the average in these coastal sections apricots and prunings are dropping badly in poor Sacramento valley. Sugars are doing well in the central and eastern coast regions. Corn, potato **LANDERED HORSES** Dr. Charles Stolberg, the well-known veterinary surgeon of this city, writes follows relative to the treatment of horses affected with glanders. Really a number of horses at Santa Ana have been found to be affected with its disease, and Dr. Stolberg's advice will doubtless be found to be of value this time: ANAHEIM, Cal., July 16, 1899. EDITOR GAZETTE—Dear Sir: In the best number of your paper I find an aim to the effect that a veterinary surgeon of Santa Ana has discovered several cases of glanders in his district, and that he has ordered different horses treated. The great danger of the glanders, or frayy illness, gives me occasion to make public a preventative medicine, certain in its results, which is ordered by the German government's veterinaries in all cases of this dangerous epidemic. All farmers who are out to drive into an epidemic district must give their horses before they start from three to five drops of caric acid in one-fourth plant of water. When the farmer comes home he is referred to take one quart of ukwewarm water, into which he puts from 10 to 30 cups of corrosive sublimate, in the proportion of 1 to 500, and wash out the houses of the horses. After crying the stallis and giving the horse water to drink, the same medicine used before started is used again. He will do very well if he cleans the stallis of his animals before he brings them into the stable or barn. If he does as I have written, the danger of infection will be very small. Mules and donkeys are more sensitive infection than horses. All experiences in my practice in Germany, as well as that of many other German veterinarians, show this fact. If the landers is epidemic is a town, the medicine will be enough if the farmer uses it three times in one day in the length given. Horses or mules taken with glanders farcies should be killed in the shortest time. Glanders very often seize upon the owner of the sick animals, in which case the danger is as great as when the horses are affected. In most cases men in 24 to 36 days after the infection, all animals killed should be buried from even to eight feet deep, and should be covered with lime. The soil must be dead very hard. Places where animals are buried must be fenced in. Many years after the death of a glandered infection is possible by the grass vegetables are in good condition in most sections. Pasturage is beginning to show lack of moisture. Irrigating water is becoming scarce in portions of the San Joaquin valley and in Southern California. **SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.** Fruit: Conditions have been favorable for the development of deciduous fruits. Apricots are ripening rapidly; the yield exceeds expectations in some localities. The indications are that the orange crop will be heavy. Grain: In the northern counties a fair crop of wheat and barley has been harvested and is now being threshed. Sugar beets: Along the coast, in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, the crop appears to be progressing very favorably; in the interior conditions are not so satisfactory. Minor crops: Walnuts, where irrigated, are doing well. Beans, potatoes and tomatoes are in fine condition. Eureka summary: Corn, barley and crops generally have made favorable progress. Reports indicate marked improvement in prunes. Weather unfavorable for curing hay. Grass on high lands practically ruined. Los Angeles summary: Threshing continues; barley is turning out well in some localities. Beets and beans look well in some sections and poor in others; fogs needed. Oranges and lemons look well. Grapes show effects of drought, but promise a fair crop. A. G. McAdie, Section Director. **REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS** For the Week Ending July 17, 1899.

WEATHER REPORT. U.S. Department of Agriculture, California Section, Climate and Crop Service, weather Bureau, July 17: General summary: The temperature has been nearly normal through the week, though slightly below in porons of the Sacramento valley and at San Diego. No rain was reported at any station, but heavy fogs have been requent along the coast. These contions have been favorable for the harvesting and threshing of grain. Fruit picking and shipping have connued uninterruptedly. The wheat and barley crops are genally above the average in the central and northern portions, and in the north east section of Southern California. The yield of these cereals is said to be early equal to the average. Raisin and wine grapes are making good growth, with the probability of an avage yield. Table grapes are being shipped East. Peaches and other deduous fruits are plentiful; in some sections apricots and prunes are yielding much better than had been exected. It is reported that navel orges are dropping badly in portions of the Sacramento valley. Sugar beets are doing well in the central and southon coast regions. Corn, potatoes and Expensive Water. From the Riverside Enterprise. J. A. Simms yesterday mailed to Shaw Bros. of Redlands a check for $51.15, which money was paid for a 24-hour run of 16 inches of water, which Mr. Simms is to use on land owned by his father-in-law, Mr. Patton, of Mound City. This is at the rate of about $3 per inch for water, and the figures signify the scarcity of irrigating water in that neck o' the woods. It is understood that Shaw Bros. are the owners of an apricot orchard from which the crop has been gathered, and now they will sell the water belonging to them. Three dollars an inch seems to be the prevailing rate for water in the Redlands country. Casca Ferrine Bitters tones up the system while it renovates the alimentary canal.

This is at the rate of about $3 per inch for water,and the figures signify the scarcity of irrigating water in that neck o' the woods. It is understood that Shaw Bros are the owners of an apricot orchard from which the crop has been gathered,and now they will sell the water belonging to them.

Joseph Helmsen, Executor of the last will and testament of The was accomplished today when the last option was taken up and the following officers elected: Wm. Thomas, President; Sidney M. Smith, First Vice-President and Treasurer; Sanford L. Goldstein, Second Vice-President; R. I. Bentley, Third Vice-President; Isaac H. Moore, Secretary; M. J. Fontana, General Superintendent; Sidney M. Smith, S. L. Goldstein, M. J. Fontana, R. I. Bentley and James Nelson comprise the Executive Committee. The new corporation has, since the first of July, been responsible for the debts and running expenses of canners. This attitude had to antedate the final organization in order that the output of this year could be handled. The conduct of the business will continue on the same lines for the present, as the policy of the corporation has not yet been outlined. It has taken months of appraisement and investigation to determine exactly what packing firms would compose the corporation. Many would have entered the combine if they could have been accepted. After the weeding out and searching of titles, the following have agreed to all the terms, and are parts of the big business which will control most of the canning business of the State: Fontana & Co., Cutting Fruit Packing company, San Jose Fruit Packing company, Sacramento Packing company, Santa Clara Packing company, King-Morse company, Rose City Packing company, Oakland Preserving company, California Fruit Preserving company, Marysville Packing company, A. F. Tenney company and Courtland Packing company, the latter handling asparagus and peas. This includes twenty-two plants. SAN FRANCISCO, July 17—The first legal controversy in which the new association has been involved developed to-day through a suit brought by Chas. W. Pike & Co. against the Hunt Bros. Fruit Packing company. The latter company owns the Rose City cannery, and the plaintiffs have sued to recover $57,333 alleged to be due on commission and monies advanced. The shares of stock in the California Fruit Canners' association held by Hunt Bros. Fruit Packing company have been garnished by the plaintiffs. Saturday Excursions to Redondo and Santa Monica. From June to September, inclusive, the Santa Fe will sell cheap excursion tickets to Redondo and Santa Monica every week. The rate will be $1.30 for the round trip, and tickets will be good going either on Saturday afternoon or on any train Sunday, good for return until the last train of the Monday following. Two Bachelor Maids. Since bachelor girls have passed beyond the chrysalis stage of monstrosity we hear less of them and their doing. Two beauties, reduced in circumstances, it is true, but with a sufficient income to look pleasant, boast of their splendid housekeeping in a cozy apartment near Central park. Visiting them under the chaperonage of a Newport begum, I was permitted to inspect the larder. Everything was in immaculate condition. The pantry and ice box contained 18 pounds of assorted candies, 6 bricks of Columbian ice cream, 10 pounds of cake, 2 dozen fresh oranges, half a bunch of bananas, a box of raisins, a gross of canned peaches, apricots, pears, quinces and currants, 50 pounds of chocolate, 6 boxes of sweet crackers, 8 boxes of cocoa butter.

MOTHER SALESIA, Directress. COMMERCIAL HOTEL ANAHEIM, CAL. Tel. Main 675 Every facility possible given to Commercial travelers. Heftified and refurnished. Your Patronage Solicited. Free Hairdressing. Some one said once that you could get almost anything for nothing in New York. This was brought practically to my notice a few days ago, says a writer in the New York Herald, as I was going up town on Third avenue. I passed a barber shop which displayed this strange sign: "Ladies' Hairdressing Done Free Every Afternoon From 1 to 5 o'Clock." As it was past 8 I was prompted by curiosity to go in and investigate. I found the "ladies'" hairdressing parlor a neat, cozy place, with a number of chairs standing in front of a long mirror, which covered one side of the room. I was fortunate enough to find a subject in the chair, who was having her hair dressed. She was a middled aged, thick handed, respectable looking woman, who was going to the inevitable ball. "Doing" her hair was a nice looking little woman, the head of the hair-dressing establishment, and gathered around the chair were half a dozen white coated young men, watching the process of the work and occasionally giving assistance. And that is how the apprentice or student in hairdressing gains his experience, and the clever women who are in touch with the trick get their hair dressed for nothing. The Prig and His Cane. In the number of The Tatler for Oct. 6, 1709, it is observed that "a cane is part of the dress of a prig" (this by the way shows the erroneous notion prevalent that "priggishness" is a modern word) "and always worn upon a button, for fear he should be thought to have an occasion for it or be esteemed really and not genteelly a cripple." In the number of Nov. 18 a rural squire in town is sketched who is the prototype of one of the pavement nuisances: "His arms naturally swang at an unreasonable distance from his sides, which with the advantage of a cane that he brandished in a great variety of irregular motions, made it unsafe for any one to walk within several years of him." And under date of Dec. 5 there is an amusing sketch of "a lively, fresh colored young man" who was among the applicants to Isaac Bickerstaff's court of censorship for license to use "canes, perspective glasses, snuffboxes, orange flower waters and like ornaments of life." This young man had his cane hanging on his fifth button and was "an Oxford scholar who was just en- Notice to Creditors. Estate of Elizabeth Bittner, deceased.

Loosen the earth around the roots once a week and see that the water goes through the pot and escapes at the opening at the bottom. Instead of plugging up the hole take a dull knife and poke it up through the hole to be sure that there is free draft. House plants suffer from lack of air. Open the windows frequently and let them breathe, although be careful that they do not stand in a draft. Plants do well in a kitchen window because of the moist air that passes through the opening and closing of the door. Head of a Big Order. Miss Lillian M. Holister, supreme commander of the Ladies of the Macca-bees of the world, has been selected to take a place on the programme at the quinquennial session of the international council of the world, to be held in London in June, 1899, to present under the heading of social work the topic of "Life Benefit Societies as Social Institutions."

"When I was out among the hills of northern India," said the major, "I had an experience that I wonder didn't turn my hair gray. I was camped all alone on the side of the Ganges and had occasion to go for some water. Before I knew where I was I had stepped right into a quicksand. I knew what was up at once and knew that I was gone. As I stood there with that horrible sand dragging at me like some living monster I turned colder and colder. Do what I could my teeth would keep on clattering, though I knew that every vibration of my jaw was shaking me farther down into that ready made grave. Suddenly I noticed that I had stopped sinking." "Struck the bottom, eh?" "Certainly not; I had grown so cold from horror and fear—I may as well admit—that actually froze the water in the quicksand." If It Hadn't Been Sunday. "Had it not been the Sabbath day,' said a Perthshire preacher to an elder 'between the preachin's,' "I would just have asked ye how the hay was selling in Perth on Friday." "Well, sir," said the elder, "had it no been the day it is I wad jest hae tell't ye it was gaun at a shillin the stane." "Indeed! Well, had it been Monday instead of the Sabbath I would have told ye I have some to sell." "Umph, aye, on aye, sir! And had it been Monday, as ye say, then I wad jest hae tell't ye i wad gie ye the market price for it." The elder's carts were at the manse early on Monday morning, and the preacher's haystack vanished like a highland mist. Wanted Horses for Pasture $1.50 per month. Alamitos - Ranch Apply to Fred H.
