AN ANAHEIM MAN IN FLORIDA. Herman Koster Writes of the Impressions of the Trip from Southern California Eastward. BOWLING GREEN, De Soto Co., Florida, Aug. 4th, 1900. EDITOR GAZETTE,—When I saw you last in Anaheim I promised to write you a little article about our trip as soon as we arrived at our destination, and here I am ready to fulfill my promise. After six days of travel, starting from Anaheim July 26, we got to Bowling Green late in the evening of August 1. The 10 o'clock train took us to Los Angeles, and passing the day pleasantly there, we were off for Barstow at 7:50 in the evening. This route took us through Pasadena, Pomona and San Bernardino. Next morning found us on the Mojave desert, the most desolate region that human eye ever rested on. Nothing but a barren waste, a howling wilderness without any vegetation or animal life in sight. About half-past 8 o'clock in the morning we arrived at the Needles, on the Colorado river, where we stopped for breakfast. Charges for regular meals at all the railroad stations are 25c. We saw a great many Indians at the depot peddling pottery and bows and arrows of their own make. Many of these Indians are employed by the Santa Fe. After crossing the Colorado river we found ourselves in Arizona, the aspect of the country presenting the same barren appearance. It was a waste without any vegetation. We saw mountains without any timber, but as we climbed higher in the afternoon, passing Kingman, Peach Springs, Seligman and other stations, the country assumed a different appearance. Pine trees came in sight and the scenery became grand. We passed through a rough country, the track kept winding in and out, and in the evening found ourselves in the midst of pine forests at Williams and Flagstaff. To be open and candid I must confess, however, that I was greatly disappointed in the size of the trees, and the magnitude of the timber all through the Rockies. The waste that is going on, the destruction that is caused by fire and axe, made a melancholy impression upon me, and, under prevailing conditions, the time cannot be far off when the last stick will have disappeared from these regions. and makes short work of the pine timber. We arrived at Waycross, Georgia, at about 11 o'clock at night, and were forced to stop over night at a hotel. It is a flourishing little town. We steamed out of the latter place at 6 o'clock next morning, and arrived at Jacksonville, Florida, at half-past 8 o'clock. The train not starting out till after I o'clock I had ample time to look around and see the sights. The town is situated on the St. John's river, has electric cars, electric lights and all modern improvements, and does a great deal of business. For the first 50 miles south of Jacksonville we passed through a level green country, but further on small orange groves came in sight, the country grew more romantic; pine lands changed off with swamps, rivers were crossed and lakes were visible everywhere. These waters were covered with the water hyacinth, a pest that is threatening navigation by choking up the rivers. Truly a grand sight for us, and so different from anything we had seen before in California. Late in the evening we changed cars at Lakeland and soon got to our destination, Bowling Green, about 30 miles off, where we have made our headquarters at a hotel and stayed ever since. It is a small place, and we have got acquainted with a great many people. It is really astonishing how soon a person will be at home among strangers. On the road I talked with a good many people and gathered information from them. We have looked around the country a good deal and so far everything has made a favorable impression on us; the land is sandy, but seems to be productive with fertilizing. There is a good deal of coarse grass growing among the trees and Florida seems to be a fair stock country. Oranges, pineapples (the most delicious fruit in the world) and vegetables of many kinds do well here with far less care than is given to anything in California. A good many croakers are found in the country and land is very cheap. Several places have been offered us, but so far we have declined to buy. The weather now is lovely and far superior to any summer weather I have ever seen in California. This morning the sky was clear, hardly a cloud was to be seen, but at this time (about 2 o'clock in the afternoon while I am writing) it is thundering and lightning and raining great guns. The summers here are necessarily not so monotonous as in California. We enjoyed the trip immensely, had a little hot weather crossing the Mojave desert, but the discomfort was slight indeed to us coming from Southern California. The officials on all the roads are gentlemen with but few exceptions. They are polite and accommodating, and the system of railroading is so perfect and complete that for five minutes over happen and makes short work of the pine timber. HEALTH BOARD HOLDS OVER. It had Adjourned Sine Die, but this Being in Non-Conformity With the Statutes. It Comes Into Existence Again. At the meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening Trustee Schwenckert, the Demosthenes of the West End, brought up the matter of the legal existence of the Health Board. Some months ago Ex-Trustee Rust, who was chairman of the Board of Health, adjourned its deliberations sine die. This, in the opinion of Mr. Schwenckert, was beyond their power todo. The members of the board had not resigned, and he was therefore of the opinion that they were still in office. He asked that the city ordinance establishing the Health Board be read. City Clerk Merritt produced the ordinance book and read the ordinance defining the duties of the board, which is to consist of five members, to hold office at the pleasure of the appointing power, and serve without pay. The duties of the board are such as are prescribed by the statutes. City Attorney Chynoweth, who was present from Los Angeles, said that the action of the Board of Health in adjourning sine die was without effect. The ordinance was drafted in accordance with the provisions of the statutes, and any deviation from the straight and legal path would necessarily be void and of no effect. He was of the opinion the Health Board was still in existence, and until such time as the members thereof resigned, they would be expected to fulfill the duties of their office. Only the City Trustees could terminate the existence of the board. Trustee Schneider thereupon moved that the Clerk notify the members of the Board of Health that they are still in office. The members of the board are Dr. Bickford, the health officer, who first reported the fact that the chairman of the board had adjourned the body sine die; ex-Trustee Rust, who put the board temporarily out of business; M. Nebelung, who went out of office as its Clerk at the same time, Chester Spencer, and Marshal Steadman. A 50-light meter was on motion of Trustee Schwenckert, ordered placed in Armory. The soldier boys are burning lights now, and a new meter will add to the beauty of the surroundings. Trustee Dickel offered the following We passed through dense forests with clearings here and there and hovels in sight inhabited by Sambos. We missed the evidences of thrift that we had noticed the day before in Eastern Kansas and Missouri. We found the land thin in some places and too wet in others, and for these reasons a great deal of corn was of the sickly trees came in sight and the society came grand. We passed through a rough country, the track kept winding in and out, and in the evening found ourselves in the midst of pine forests at Williams and Flagstaff. To be open and candid I must confess, however, that I was greatly disappointed in the size of the trees, and the magnitude of the timber all through the Rockies. The waste that is going on, the destruction that is caused by fire and axe, made a melancholy impression upon me, and, under prevailing conditions, the time cannot be far off when the last stick will have disappeared from these regions. As I got up next morning and stepped on the platform of the car, I noticed the hills and mountains covered with a stunted growth of timber. We were coursing through New Mexico, but as we traveled eastward the country became more desolate. Nothing but nude mountains, hard red clay soil with little or no grass greeted our sight; the stations were far apart and the mountains had a weird and fantastic appearance. Indian hovels came in sight. Indians appeared on the scene hoeing and working their stunted and drouth-stricken corn and vegetables in that most inhospitable country. Death and desolation prevailed everywhere, except where water from the scant river could be used for irrigation. At Albuquerque the Rio Grande is utilized. In the afternoon at about 1 o'clock we passed through Las Vegas, a flourishing little town, and traveling eastward, climbing higher all the time, the looks of the country greatly improved. About 2 miles from Raton we ran through a tunnel, it being the dividing line between New Mexico and Colorado. We had now arrived at the summit, and went down grade all the time. It was late in the evening, and on account of darkness we could not take in the sights. Next morning found us in Western Kansas with the Arkansas river in sight. It is a level country, lots of grain stacks were in sight; we noticed alfalfa fields on the lower lands, but the absence of timber, the failure of corn and other summer crops in this region told again a tale of drought. With every hour's travel eastward, however, the country seemed to improve, and after passing Florence it was a grand treat to us, fresh from a dry country, to take in the sights in Eastern Kansas. Beautiful scenery was spread before us as far as the eye could reach. Rich farming lands, fine crops of corn, clover, and alfalfa swept by us; the hills were covered with timber and clad in the richest green. Fine residences and all possible evidences of thrift, push and prosperity were visible everywhere. We got into Kansas City, on the Missouri river, at 5:30 in the afternoon. After taking supper we moved out at 6:30 for Memphis, about 488 miles distant. Next morning we found ourselves in Tennessee. We passed through dense forests with clearings here and there and hovels in sight inhabited by Sambos.

We passed through dense forests with clearings here and there and hovels in sight inhabited by Sambo. We missed the evidences of thrift that we had noticed the day before in Eastern Kansas and Missouri. We found the land thin in some places and too wet in others, and for these reasons a great deal of corn was of the sickly yellow kind, and cotton and other crops were not as good as they should be. We arrived at Memphis at 8 o'clock in the morning, and after twenty minutes' stop steamed out to Birmingham in Alabama. As we left Memphis the country became rougher and the land poorer, no crops of any account did we see, and as we neared Birmingham in the afternoon the scenery reminded us of our old home place in California, with the difference that here every available spot was covered with green and trees. The formation of these hills is similar to those of the oil bearing lands in California, and they are rich in coal and iron ore. We could not make connection in Birmingham that evening, and stopped there over night, which gave me a chance to take in the town. I found it a large place with a great deal of business going on. Big iron works are in the place. As we steamed out of town early next morning to Montgomery, 75 miles distant, the country gradually lost its rough character, the clearings became larger and the crops looked better, although we noticed the same eternal old red clay soil. Little orchards and some grape vines came in sight, and right here I would like to say that the sooner the South adopts different methods, the sooner they set all available land into fruit trees, and go more extensively into the stock business, the better they will be off, for it is apparent to any one traveling through the country that the land is corned and cottoned to death. We arrived at Montgomery at 9 o'clock in the morning, and were off for Jacksonville, Florida, at 11:25. Montgomery is quite a nice town on the Alabama river, steamboats running between there and Mobile. As we neared the Georgia line the pine forests predominated, and we came in sight of numberless turpentine distilleries. This industry has spread all over the South, has taken root in Florida now, received for last season's dried fruit 11 cents per pound, which amounted to $36.50 per ton for the green fruit. The market quotations for dried apricots this year range from 5½ to 6½ cents per pound, but the association obtained better prices for their output. The fruit dried heavier than last season, taking from 5½ to 6 pounds of green to make one of dried fruit. The ratio last year was 4.70 to 5½ pounds of green to one of dried fruit. The drouth and general unfavorable winter weather is thought to be responsible. Political Pointers. The Republican State convention will be held at Santa Cruz Sept. 5th. The Seventh Congressional District convention will be held at Coronado Aug. 27th. The Thirty-Ninth Senatorial District convention will be held at Riverside Aug. 25th. The primaries will be held on Saturday next, the 18th, and the convention on Tuesday next, the 21st. The county convention will nominate delegates for State, Congressional and Senatorial conventions, and will decide upon the date for a second primary at which delegates will be elected, to comply with the provisions of Sec. 1186 of the Political Code, which provides that delegates to all conventions must be elected at primaries. The section of the code referred to (1186) is probably unconstitutional for the same reasons which nullified the Stratton law, but it has not been subjected to a Supreme court test, and probably cannot be prior to our county convention. If anything should arise in the meantime to assure the party that the section will be disregarded, the county convention may elect the various delegates as has been done in the past. Two Primaries? It is thought it will be necessary to hold two primaries this year instead of one, as heretofore. This is brought about by the amendment of the Political Code, to conform with the provisions of the Stratton law. Under this provision delegates to all conventions must be elected at a primary election. This puzzle has been pondered over by the wise sages of the county central committee, who at their latest guess lean to the belief that two primaries will about fill the bill instead of one. Trustee Schneider of the Committee on Public Improvements reported that gravelers still at work graveling Sycamore street, between Lemon and Los Angeles. He recommended that the county road leading into Center street from the west be repaired, it being filled with chuck holes, which are menace to navigation. Trustee Dickel of the Ordinance committee introduced the tax levy ordinance, which passed first reading and was laid over to the next meeting. Trustee Helmsen reported that he had made an agreement with Supervisor Potter, fixing a rate of 15 cents per 1000 gallons for city water to be used in sprinkling the county road leading into town. The City Clerk was instructed to purchase a barrel of 16 candle-power incandescent electric lamps, from a Los Angeles house. A barrel of burned out lamps, for which this house allowed 2 cents each, was ordered shipped them. The following communication, referring to a disorderly house on Citron Avenue, was read: ANAHEIM, Cal., Aug. 6, 1900. To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim—Gentlemen. We wish to call your attention to an open violation existing in the house recently vacated, by an action of your honorable body, on Citron street, between Center and Broadway, since August 1, 1900, and beg your prompt action and conviction for the moral good of the city of Anaheim. Signed, OTTO STORM, F. MAURER, W. H. H. HUNT, FRANK S. GATES, JOHN L. SCHUMACHER, JOHN A. EYMANN, F. A. KORN. W. F. CHRISTEN, JOHN WOELKE. Trustee Dickel moved that the occupants of the house be immediately notified by the Marshal to vacate their premises. Trustee Schwenekert added that the owner of the house (Charley Stone) notified also that he will be subject arrest if he shall continue to lease its premises to its present class of occupants. Attorney Chynoweth said the own- BOARD HOLDS OVER. Pursued Sine Die, but this Being Formity With the Statutes. Has Into Existence Again.

The motion prevailed, and the Marshal was instructed to notify the ladies to take their clothes and go. Bills to the amount of $1355.34 were audited and ordered paid. All the members of the board were present, viz.: Trustee Helmsen in the chair; Trustees Dickel, Schwenckert, Schneider and Weisel. TAX LEVY. The board met yesterday and fixed the tax levy at $1.30 on the $100 of valuation. The levy is made up as follows: General fund, 65c; Bond fund No. 1, 25c; Bond fund No. 2, 11c; Bond fund No. 3, 29c; total $1.30, which is the same as last year. Santa Ana's tax rate is $2.05 on the $100. The total valuation of all city property, exclusive of railroads (the report of which has not been forwarded by the State Board of Equalization), amounts to $544,005. Last year the total valuation, including railroads, was $554,030. The railroads were last year assessed at $19,159. The new Southern Pacific line up town had not then been built, and did not figure in the valuation. City Clerk Merritt said yesterday afternoon that the total valuation of all property in the city had increased $20,-000 over last year. The increase outside of railroad valuation amounts to $9124. NOTES ON RURAL DELIVERY. Major Jeffrey Looked for to Arrive in a Few Days for His Final Approval of Two Local Routes. All matters are in readiness for the final approval by Major John B. Jeffrey of rural free delivery at this point. Major Jeffrey was in Anaheim, as noted elsewhere, on Saturday, and was met by the citizens' committee having the establishment of the local routes in hand. He was driven over the routes, and expressed satisfaction at what he saw, and to the members of the committee said he would approve them. Relative to the matter of the establishment of a postoffice at West Anaheim, as petitioned for by a number of the residents of that section, he said that none such would be established; and added that, even if a postoffice REMAINS CONSIGNED TO EARTH Funeral of the Late Mr. Fay at Rosedale Cemetery. Los Angeles, on Friday Afternoon. The mortal remains of the late W. J. Fay were interred in Rosedale cemetery, Los Angeles, on Friday afternoon last. The overland train bearing the body, with Mrs. Fay, accompanied by Mrs. Toovey, arrived at 7:50 a.m., 50 minutes late. The body was taken to the undertaking-rooms of Booth & Boylson, on South Broadway. Mrs. Fay and Mrs. Toovey were driven to the Hollenbeck, where the members of the family were gathered. The body lay in the rear parlor of the undertaking-rooms. The features were lifelike, the dead appearing as if in sleep. Across the casket a sheaf of ripened wheat, sent by a friend in Denver, lay among a number of beautiful floral devices. The services were conducted by the Odd Fellows, and were simple and impressive. The front parlor was filled with the friends of deceased. The family sat in the rear parlor with the dead, a wide entrance-way leading from one room to the other. With the family were a number of near friends. Many eyes were in tears during the burial services. At the conclusion friends filed about the coffin for a last look at the face of him who in his lifetime they had held in such high esteem. The funeral party were driven in carriages to Rosedale cemetery, where the interment took place. Here the final burial services were held, at the conclusion of which the coffin, covered with flowers, was lowered to its eternal resting place. The pallbearers were A. H. Naftzer, F. Q. Storey and Mr. Seveloh of Los Angeles, and Richard Melrose, M. L. Rogers and J. B. Rea of this city. The newspapers generally (those of Denver and St. Louis, where the deceased formerly lived, as well as those of Southern California) refer in terms of regret to the sorrowful affair at Hugo, Col.

Mr. Fay was in his lifetime the life and soul of the club. He was never absent from a meeting, and committee work referred to him was ever faithfully attended to and reported upon. His death is felt as a great blow to the members. Mr. Rogers, first vice-president of the club, spoke of the need for keeping the organization in existence. He said that nothing would please the departed more, were he alive, than to know that the good work of the club would be continued. There is work for it to do, he said; work already mapped out which should not be suffered to lapse. The resolutions adopted were as follows: WHEREAS, In the providence of the Allwise Father, in and through whom we live, an event fraught with sorrow has been permitted to invade our organization and by death remove from among us our esteemed friend, associate and brother member, William J. Fay; therefore, as a feeble expression of the sorrow which this sad event has placed upon us, be it Resolved, by the Farmers' club of Anaheim, Cal., that in the death of William J. Fay, late president of the club, our organization has sustained an irreparable loss, recognizing as we do that to his experience, wise counsel and judicious management is due in great measure the efficiency attained by the organization; That we recognize in his life a character pure and lofty, free from selfishness and perfectly in harmony with the teachings of our Divine Master; That we cherish his memory as one we loved and honored as a citizen, associate and friend; That we mourn his loss as one very near to the hearts of the individual members of the club; but we feel and know that the sorrow laid upon us is not to be compared with that which has fallen upon the home circle thus ruthlessly invaded; That we extend our sympathy to his bereaved family, and for consolation we do commend them to Him who has the care and keeping of our lives; That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the club and published in the ANAHEIM GAZETTE, and that a copy be prepared and delivered to the family of our departed friend and brother member.

All of these places looked for Major Jeffrey to personally attend to the beginning of the work. Each section had invited him to come and be their guest. Inasmuch as his official duties made it impossible for him to accept the invitation of a single place, it will be seen what Inroads upon his time are being made by the work placed upon him. Orange and Tustin have applications in for routes at those points. When Major Jeffrey arrived in Santa Ana last Friday the Tustinites appeared before him in force, with a unanimous protest against the scheme. The Orangeites did about the same. When the Major explained the workings of rural free delivery, the Tustin protest was immediately changed into a petition for it. Orange followed a day or two later with a petition for it. Both applications are now on file. San Jacinto wants a route established between earthquakes, Senator Hard wants some of it for Ventura county, and applications are pouring in so thick and fast that the inspector's time is taken up pretty well night and day.
