anaheim-gazette 1899-12-07

When we contemplate the fact that the brokers have cleared not much less than $100,000 out of the recent walnut crop we see how brains triumph over muscle. At the recent Farmers' Institute, the question, How can a farmer reap a greater degree of prosperity? was answered by a white-haired patriarch who said they worked too much and thought too little. He summed up the solution of the problem in the sententious words, "More brains—less muscle." If it be true, as one of the largest walnut growers in the county last week remarked, that the growers are short $100,000 on their crop by reason of this volume of profits reaped by the brokers, or middlemen, then it follows that Orange county, which produces half the nut crop of the State, has lost $50,000. From this immediate vicinity (embracing Anaheim, Placentia and Fullerton) upwards of a hundred cars of walnuts were shipped to market during the past month. For three-fourths of this crop, not to exceed $1500 per car was received by the growers. We showed last week how the Anaheim association, by the exercise of a wise and discriminating judgment, sold carloads of nuts for as high as $1910, with an active demand prevailing for them at those figures. Here is a difference of $410, per car, which represents the loss sustained by many who disposed of their crops too early in the season. Perhaps the growers could not have secured this latter price for all of their crop; but it is indubitably true that, if all the associations had been formed upon more accurate business lines, nearly if not quite this price would have been realized. This being admitted, we have a loss to the growers, on an output of 75 cars, not less than $30,000, which the middlemen have taken from the community and placed to their credit in their own bank accounts. Why will growers permit this pernicious system to continue? Why do they permit these outside buyers to come among them with their honeyed words of flattery, seeking to deal them and to all intents and purposes was doing quite well, even if her little eccentricities did not go well with the boarders. She appealed to the City Clerk in her dilemma, and presto! a way was found to lead her out of the maze of her difficulties. Employing a painter, she instructed him to obliterate the sign "Commercial Hotel" which hung suspended from the front door! Dissersby wondered what to make of the blank sign—but this will serve to give Landlord Malcolm a chance to have a new and better sign painted, to replace the old. Then Mrs. Berringer stuck in the windows cards announcing that she was conducting a "boarding-house," and thus fortified, upon the advice of the City Clerk, she refused to pay the hotel license! The city accepted the profered dollar and called it square. We move that the City Clerk be taxed the remaining dollar and a half. He was in very small business when advising his client to practice deceit in order to nullify a city ordinance. It is reported about town that applications for two, and perhaps three, new saloon licenses will be made through the City Trustees in the near future, and that influence is now being brought to bear to procure favorable action upon them. We submit that the city has a genteel sufficiency of saloons, as it is, to suit all practical purposes, without the increase of the number by a single one. Mr. Conrad, the West End brewer, is understood to desire the establishment of another saloon up town, and possibly two, but the time has arrived when the existence of the town must be based upon other and more substantial matters than the one item of beer selling. The majority of the citizens of this community, moreover, do not care to see a saloon at each alternate place of business simply to suit the conveniences of a brewery. We warn the instigators of this scheme to saddle three new saloons upon the community that it will indubitably result in a demand for a vote upon high license at the municipal election in April. The monthly saloon license in Anaheim is $10; at Santa Ana it is $50. If the $10 rate obtaining here is not sufficient to exclude this new crop of threatened saloons, then the people will ask the privilege of voting upon the matter of raising the same to a figure which will accomplish that purpose. Anaheim has seven saloons in town. REAL ESTATE TRANSFRANCE For the Week Ending December 4, Furnished by the Orange County Title pany, Santa Ana. Jennie L. Wood and W. B. Wheeler husband, to F. H.

Why do they permit these outside buyers to come among them with their honeyed words of flattery, seeking to deal them a blow that is nigh unto fatal in its effects? Why do they not join hands with the associated growers, who have banded themselves together for their mutual protection? Probably 15 carloads of nuts were purchased by agents of outside brokers here in this immediate vicinity — in Fullerton, Placentia and Anaheim. We showed last week that these were paid for at the rate of $1500 per car. These cars were sold by the purchasing agents to the brokers at $1600 per car. Here is a neat little profit of $1500 in itself, which the local purchasing agents divided between themselves. The brokers sold these nuts to the wholesale grocers at 10 cents per pound, or $2000 per car. Here we find a difference of $500 per car, in the value of the nuts, within a fortnight after they are delivered at the packing-house. This is that much money lost to the growers, on 15 carloads. This amounts to $7500, which the growers of this section of Orange county would be "ahead" were it not for these purchasing agents, who swarmed among them early in the season. Perhaps the outside growers would not have reaped all this amount in profits; but certainly they would come very near it. By associating themselves with the co-operative movement, they would have saved by far the larger part of this margin. They have it in their power to say whether they will be thus again duped another year, or whether they will place themselves alongside the associated growers, who are organized solely for the protection of their own homes and firesides. It is for them to say whether they will continue to fatten the middlemen another year, or whether they will themselves pocket the legitimate profits of their business. More ground is being broken by the plow, on upland and valley, than probably ever before in the history of the county; and many a patch of barley shows up green and luxuriant as in the aforetime, when wet winters were the rule. Indeed, the hum of at least one mowing machine has been heard in the country about Clair, and although the mowing was light, the field of young alfalfa no doubt afforded considerable fodder. More farming utensils have been purchased than for a number of years past, and on all sides one sees the initial activity of what all hope may develop into a prosperous farming year. With a continuation of the favorable season, the opening year of the new century promises to be one of the most less simply to be sold a brewery. We warn the instigators of this scheme to saddle three new saloons upon the community that it will indubitably result in a demand for a vote upon high license at the municipal election in April. The monthly saloon license in Anaheim is $10; at Santa Ana it is $50. If the $10 rate obtaining here is not sufficient to exclude this new crop of threatened saloons, then the people will ask the privilege of voting upon the matter of raising the same to a figure which will accomplish that purpose. Anaheim has seven saloons in town and three (including that at the brewery) at the West End, all of them within the city limits. The Trustees should decline to issue a single additional license. We have enough saloons, and to spare. Dedication.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—As the time for election of officers of the water company approaches, we would like to know how different candidates stand on the reservoir proposition. One or two have declared themselves. One says the reservoir will cost $150,000, therefore it is out of question to build it: yet J.D.Schuyler, who stands second to none in hydraulics in California, says on page 26 of pamphlet prepared by irrigation district that the La Habra reservoir can be built for $42,000, and the ditch leading to it for $3500, and with its discharge and all complete for $5,000, making all told $47,000. He says the site is excellent in every respect, and will hold enough water to irrigate with 19 irrigating heads of 100 inches during daylight hours through July. August and September, in addition to the water that flows in during the same months. Mr. Pierotti says "there is no ditch to bring water to a reservoir," but a blind man could see that there is a good enough ditch to bring down ten or twelve heads at this season of the year to run to waste, and will continue to do so till April or May. If this water was turned into a reservoir, it would be worth annually what a reservoir would cost. If we had not so many wise men who know it all, and would take heed of the reports of competent engineers, we would have a reservoir and forever banish all fears of dry seasons.

The lady has during her short term of residence here given the city authorities no little trouble about collecting her license. She claimed that inasmuch as restaurants and boarding houses in town were licensed at $1 per month, she should not be required to pay the hotel rate of $2.50. She conducted a hotel, had a hotel sign out, blind man could see that there is a good enough ditch to bring down ten or twelve heads at this season of the year to run to waste, and will continue to do so till April or May.

The committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors to investigate the conditions at the Bolsa Chica dam, made the trip on Monday and met Mr. Torrance of Pasadena, representing the gun club, and about a dozen of the residents of the neighborhood. The committee found some twenty teams at work clearing out the channel which had filled up with sand, and were also told by the gun club's representative that work would begin on a channel through Bolsa Chica bay at Anaheim Landing. The committee's report is as follows: To the Board of Supervisors—GENTLEMN. As per your order, the committee appointed to investigate the complaint from the settlers against the Bolsa Gun Club for alleged damage by the construction of a dam across Bolsa Chica bay constructed by said club, proceeded to the club house where said dam is constructed, and there met the settlers and Mr. Torrance, who represented the gun club. Your committee finds, first, that the water is submerging several pieces of land visited by your committee, caused by the said dam as now constructed. Second. That the water stands 21 inches higher on the inland side of the dam than the bottom of the waterway as now constructed by gates. Third. We also find the mouth of channel nearly closed, thereby holding water in the dam above medium tide, all of which damages the lower lands of the settlers by backing up the water and holding same on the lands. The above facts being established, Mr. Torrance, on behalf of said gun club, assured the settlers and your committee that immediate steps would be taken and had already been commenced to open the mouth of the bay, and that the club will at once lower the waterway of present dam two feet six inches and would further agree to keep its property for the above drainage; and that if after the above mentioned changes had been made, damage resulted to the property by reason of its existence, the gun club would remove the dam. In view of above investigation your committee would therefore recommend holding in abeyance any action for a reasonable time to allow the gun club to make such changes as they have assured your committee and the settlers. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. G. POTTER, Chairman Committee. Just What Was Wanted.

All freight will be paid by the undersigned. American Beet Sugar Company, Chino, GLAIR. Not since the settlement of Clair has such an extensive sowing been made of early barley. Every farmer in the neighborhood and for miles around it has from five to ten acres seeded to the staple crop. The object is to secure feed for stock in January and February and then let the barley take a second growth for the regular crop in May or June. The foxtail and clover started by the early rains and developed by the warm weather are making feed plentiful which gives rise to astonishment at the high price asked for barley, which in some cases reaches $11 a ton, but those who hold out at the above price will in all probability keep their barley in their barns. Hundreds of acres of sugar beets are still in the fields around the factory. The price asked per load is from 75 cents to $1. A good down-pour and the issue of contracts for the new beet crop will cut the price of the old beets down to 25 cents a ton, or worse still, they will be given for the digging and hauling. Senator Jones delivered an excellent and highly instructive address last Sunday to the teachers and scholars of the Cypress Union Sunday school. There was a large audience and the Senator was listened to with marked attention. His subject was "The Fruits of the Spirit." Supervisor Potter has added to his well deserved popularity by grading the road at Baker's sand hill. The road is now one of the best in the county. Carl Raab has offered to dispose of his interest in the Anaheim cremery to Chas. Bayha for $1,000, but Bayha has decided to erect a new plant either on his own property northeast of Clair or on a site near the residence of Senator Jones. J. Redpath is trading off his 50 acre ranch in Clair for Santa Monica property. Bert Martin has gone to Arizona but "the girl he left behind him" still hears from him. The Belgian hare has invaded Clair and bunny threatens to do up the meat trust. The new importation breeds twelve months in the year, has from six to 10 at a litter and tastes equal to any yellow legged chicken that ever absorbed the cupidity of any Methodist preacher. Another big rain is looked for at the next change of the moon and then barley sowing will begin in earnest and if the down-pour be a thing of considerable volume, contracts will be issued for next year's beet crop and unless all signs fail it will be a mortgage litter.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.—The Supreme Court today rendered an important decision in which game laws passed by local supervisorial boards are deemed invalid. The decision was renewed in the Knapp habeas corpus proceedings, by which the Hunters' Union of the San Joaquin Valley sought to test the powers of the Board of Survivors of Stanislaus county to prohibit the shipment of game from that county. The decision was written by Judge Temple. He says: "Having taken the game lawfully and at a time when it is lawful for any one to shoot ducks, the ordinance prohibiting their shipment is an unreasonable interference with the right of private property and an unnecessary retrait of trade. "It was stated in the argument, substantially, that the ordinance was aimed at 'pot hunters.' I understand this phrase covers all except sportsmen. Relatively, only a small part of the community are sportsmen. A law or ordinance which would discriminate in their favor would not be a proper exercise of the so-called police power. If that be the manifest or admitted purpose of the ordinance, it is void, for that reason also." Justice Beatty in a separate memorandum, says: "The people of the State being the owner of the wild game, it may be conceded that the State Legislature could annex any condition it chose to the privilege of taking it, but county ordinance forbidding all persons under penalty to transport game lawfully taken to a place where they desire to use or dispose of it, is violative of the right of private property as defined and regulated by general law, and necessarily invalid."

Dec. 4. General Summary.—Except in portions of the San Joaquin valley, the temperature for the week ranged from one to five degrees above the normal; warm days and cool nights, with light frosts, prevailed during the latter part of the week. Light showers occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday in the central and northern portions of the State. Conditions have been favorable for all kinds of farm work; plowing and seeding have been resumed in nearly all sections, and orchardists continue pruning. Orange picking and shipping have progressed rapidly in the Sacramento valley and at Porterville; the first shipment of Duarte oranges will be made this week; in portions of Southern California the coloring of oranges progresses very slowly, and there are occasional reports that the fruit is not full sized. Sugar beets are nearly all gathered, and are rapidly going to the factories. Early sown grain is making satisfactory growth. The grain acreage for the coming season will probably be much larger than last season's. Grass continues to grow rapidly and green feed is abundant in all sections. Frosts have caused no O. R.

Plowing and seeding continue, with indications of a large grain acreage. Potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables are being shipped. A. G. McADIE, Section Director. THE ROAD TO WEALTH. In my opinion, the secret of money making depends chiefly upon five things—push, "squareness," clear headiness, economy and rigid adherence to the rule of not overworking. Too much work is worse than no work at all. It undermines the constitution and unifies a man mentally and physically for the battle of life. Ten hours a day of steady work is as much as any man—no matter how robust—ought to attempt. In addition to these things, avoid being too grasping: better make a small profit by sure means than attempt to make a larger one by uncertain and risky measures. Andrew Carnegie.

The resolution was offered by E. F. C. Klokke and reads as follows: "A reciprocity treaty having been formulated and entered into between the Commissioner of the United States of America and the British West Indies, commonly known as the Jamaica treaty, a part purpose of which is to reduce the tariff now existing on citrus fruits, which treaty, however, in order to become effective, will have to be ratified by the Senate of the United States; and, Whereas, a reduction of the duties now collected on said fruit would be a great detriment to the citrus fruit industry, which has over $100,000,000 invested in its pursuit, seriously imperiling its prosperity; therefore, be it "Resolved, that the Chamber of Commerce of Los Angeles, with a clear understanding of the situation, earnestly protest against any reduction of tariff on citrus fruits, and would respectfully request that the President and Senate of the United States do not enter upon any treaty whereby this great industry of California would be thus effected."
