At the session of the council, of the above date there were present John Fischer, President, and Councilmen Zeyn, Kroeger and Champlin. The clerk, Mr. King called the roll and read the proceeding of the previous meeting, after which said minutes were so amended as to make them read that "lumber ordered of P. Banning & Co. for the building of a jail, was ordered by the Council" and not by a committee of the council. The Finance committee reported favorably upon reports of the Treasurer and Mayor for the month of September. They reported unfavorably upon the communication of the City Assessor asking for an increase on his salary of $50.00 per annum to cover incidental expenses, including stationery. After discussion it was decided by the council that the Assessor might present bills for said incidents for their consideration and which would probably be allowed. A petition from Louis Wartberg was read, asking permission to erect a slaughter house as provided by ordinance, outside at the south gate of old Anaheim Granted for a period of five years. Mr. Fischer announced that a committee on Fire Limits had three weeks longer in which report. On motion it was ordered that all City Ordinances be published successively one time each, in columns of the Anaheim Gazette.

Horstman $47.50 for chairs, were received and referred to the Finance Committee. It was decided that the time for completing assessments would expire on November first. On motion the council adjourned. The Teachers County Institute is in session at Los Angeles, and the participants are evidently having a very interesting time. Nearly every public school teacher in the county is present. The deliberations are presided over by Wm. M. McFadden, County Superintendent. The session will probably close today. A couple of landed proprietors of our city contemplate establishing a race course between here and Santa Ana at no very distant day. A well directed and thoroughly wet rain, set in at this place on Sunday evening last, and, with the exception of a few intervals of sunshine continued until Wednesday night. It penetrated deep into the soil, set the grass to growing, laid the dust, washed off the trees and thoroughly purified the atmosphere. This heavy rain is supposed to have been sent us in answer to the united prayers of Los Nietos, in camp meeting assembled. Pray again, Brethren, and keep it up. It is expected that the circus of Lee & Co., now performing in Los Angeles, will visit Anaheim and give an exhibition here. in San Bernardino county, the care of which for some years has devolved upon Mr. Rudisill of Riverside, have been transferred to the charge of R. J. Northam. This involves monthly visits to Riverside by Mr. Northam. Mr. B. D. Sumner of Anaheim has accepted the position as manager of the wholesale department of Matthews, Case & Co. in Los Angeles. The firm is to be congratulated upon securing the services of a thorough business man and a popular gentleman. "The price of wine is reported to be increasing from 5 to 7½ cents a gallon in a Napa valley." So reads a paragraph in a San Francisco paper. This is an encouraging fact for those whose cellars are filled with the result of this year's vintage. There is a report from San Francisco that thirty cents a gallon has been offered and refused for some grades of wine. The demand for California brandies continues active. The taxpayers of this county complain of the high rate of taxation, in ignorance of the fact that they are really favored and don't know when they are well off. The tax in Mono County is $6.50 on the $100. A heavy shower of rain of Friday afternoon of last week in the suburbs of Anaheim has materially improved the roads. Yet candor compells us to say that there is still great room for improvement. November 1, and therefor must be taken to secure hall or continue the lease. Of Mr. Brookbank $2.00 and H.

It is expected that the circus of Lee & Co., now performing in Los Angeles, will visit Anaheim and give an exhibition here. 50 Years Ago OCTOBER 24, 1885 The season is now far enough advanced to hazard a prediction regarding the orange crop. It is scarcely probable that any climatic event will interfere with the ripening of the fruit. The oranges will probably be larger than usual, the trees are thickly—almost too thickly—loaded with fruit and there is an unusual absence of scale and smut. If, therefore the serious question of a market for the fruit is satisfactorily settled by the associations already organized and projected, orange growers will have as much cause to felicitate themselves as the raisin makers have. The sound of the crusher is yet heard in the land, but very faintly. The vintage is in its last stages. It has been much more satisfactory than had been anticipated, through it must be confessed that while some growers had cause for satisfaction, others cannot greatly felicitate themselves. Although this was an off year for Mission grapes, there are many instances of large yields. The vineyard of Dreyfus & Company on the south side of Center_street toward the depot yielded over six tons to the acre. This year has been unusually prolific in horticultural phenomena, but we do not recall having read of anything which can equal the efforts of the trees on the orchard of Mr. E. B. Foster of Centralia. He has a Bartlett pear tree which has already ripened this year a fourth crop, and there are now small pears and blossoms on the trees, so that there is every possibility that the tree will bear six crops this year. The pears of the fourth crop are quite large and of excellent flavor. He has also an apple tree of the Red Astrachan variety, which has borne a heavy shower of rain of Friday afternoon of last week in the suburbs of Anaheim has materially improved the roads. Yet candor compells us to say that there is still great room for improvement. A most enjoyable reception party was given at Mrs. Yocum's residence on Monday night to welcome the return of Miss Libbie who has been absent from home for a couple of years. Geo. A. Wilson, special Internal Revenue agent, who intended to remain in this county for a time, was ordered by telegraph to report at Nashville, Tenn. He left Los Angeles on Thursday. Mrs. Pauline Newman has made application to the superior court to become a sole trader. She proposes to conduct a general merchandise store in Placentia district. Between the Holiness band parading the streets and singing, and the hand-organ man grinding his bar'l Anaheim has had a surfeit of music (?) this week. Senator Stanford arrived at Los Angeles yesterday, and is "doing" the Fair. 25 Years Ago OCTOBER 20, 1910 The Gazette with this issue enters the forty-first year of its publication. When the sturdy pioneers of the early days had been here but eight years, the first number of this paper was issued. Many changes have intervened in this section since that time, and the Gazette has been, we hope, a welcome visitor in the household of our readers each week since that time. We have names upon our list who were subscribers for the first issue of this paper. How they survived it has always been a mystery to us. Nevertheless, on this occasion, we tender our thanks to them, as well as all other patrons and promise the Gazette will keep up with the procession in all things. We shall the efforts of the trees on the orchard of Mr. E. B. Foster of Centralia. He has a Bartlett pear tree which has already ripened this year a fourth crop, and there are now small pears and blossoms on the trees, so that there is every possibility that the tree will bear six crops this year. The pears of the fourth crop are quite large and of excellent flavor. He has also an apple tree of the Red Astrachan variety, which has borne this year three crops of excellent apples. Can our esteemed contemporaries of the rural or metropolitan districts find more prolific trees than these in their jurisdiction? A company has been organized in the Santa Ana district to pack and ship green and dried fruits from this valley. It is probable that canning will also be embraced. The company consists of C. F. Mansur, M. A. Peters, A. Guy Smith, H. K. Snow, J. H. Moesser, W. Z. Wightman, J. W. Smith and D. M. Dorman. A location will, if possible, be obtained near the depot, application having been made to the railroad company for a lot whereon to build. The purchase of the brick warehouse of Jacob Loew is also contemplated. Plowing and seeding time is fast approaching and Messrs. A. E. and E. A. White propose to do what they can to increase the area cultivated by giving farmers all necessary agricultural implements at bed-rock prices. They will keep a full assortment of plows, harrows, cultivator, etc., on hand and ask the public to examine into the merits and prices of their farming implements before purchasing elsewhere. The Jurupa and Sierra ranchos State Controller Nye has issued his annual report of the assessed valuation of counties in the state, receipt of a copy of which form his office is acknowledged with thanks. Orange county makes an excellent showing being the fifteenth out of fifty-eight counties in value of assessable wealth. Following figures show assessed valuation of Orange County: Values of real estate $17,881,100; improvements $5,315,875; personal property $4,414,160; money and solvent credits $173,135; total value of all property returned by auditor, $27,774,360; railroads $2,823,172; total of all property $30,587,532. The total valuation of the state of California, exclusive of railroads, is $2,244,145,379; railroads, $129,-751,713. Grand total, $2,373,897,-092. Fifty-five hundredths of an inch of rain fell on Friday, being the first rain of the season. The downpour was early, although it is not sufficient volume to damage outstanding crops. No rain is wanted for a month. The beans, beets, tomatoes, grapes and walnuts are out, and heavy rains now would do great damage. Of beets alone there is a third of the drop in the field, valued at half a million dollars. An inch of rain would seriously damage these crops. Fifty-seven bright faced boys and girls of the fourth grade are attending school in the west room of the opera-house, adjoining the Gazette office. Their teachers are Miss Hill and Miss Moritz. Discipline is good, and the children are the best behaved we ever saw. George Bauer, for many years a resident of this city died at the home of his son, Charles Bauer, at Cucamonga on Saturday of paralysis. The remains were brought to this city and the funeral occurred from the undertaking rooms of Backs & Terry. Deceased was a native of Germany, and was 75 years of age.
