From the Enterprise, we learn that the citizens of Wilmington held a mass meeting one day last week, and adopted some savage resolutions on the actlon of the Board of Supervisors in appropriating money for the purchase of the Los Angeles fire engine. After reciting that in 1872 the sum of $2,000 was given for the same purpose, the resultions say: WHEREAS, The city property to be protected by said engine is valued at $4,500,000, and that of the county, within the city limits, is less than $75,000; or, differently stated, the county has only one-sixtieth part as much property at stake, but yet it pays nearly one-half the cost of the engine; or, in other words, the city expects, and the honorable board declares, that the county shall pay nearly one-half the original expenses for enjoying less than one-sixtieth part of the benefits; now, therefore, although such contribution might appear to the common com­munity disproportionate and unjust,(hence the silence of the Los Angeles press on the subject of the donation) still, since it has always been considered a terrible calamity for a city to have its public buildings within its limits, it was doubtless fair and honest for the honor­ able Board of Supervisors to give the city the last $2,000; therefore, Resolved That in view of the exce- ABOUT THE GRAIN WEevil. A correspondent writes to the Burral Press from Anaheim, asking: "Whether there is any effectual means of keeping the weevil out of grain when stored in sacks; and do they generate in the grain?" There is probably no preventive that is applicable to large quantities of wheat in store; but if our con­pendent makes the inquiry with a view only to keeping the weevil from his seed grain, some of the following methods may be available: Dr. Harris says these insects are effectually destroyed by kiln-drying the grain. It is said that grain, if kept cool, well ventilated and frequently moved, will be free from their attacks. Curtis states that the lance as well as the weevils are destroyed at 180 deg. Fah., but it also scorches the grain somewhat; but cases are given where rooms in which grain was stored were heated to 130 deg. by hot water pipes, this answering every purpose as far as the weevil is concerned, while the grain did not fail to germinate. It is said that fleeces of wool spread over loose grain attracts and kills the insects. Benzine is obnoxious to them, and a little of this sprinkled about in the vicinity of the grain would probably keep them off. But it is said that the scent of turpentine or the fumes of sulphur does not seem to discomode the insects. Close, quick rooms are what the weevil delights in. The egg of the granary weevil is deposited on the grain, the larva hung honorable board declares, that the county shall pay nearly one-half the original expenses for enjoying less than one-sixteenth part of the benefits; now, therefore, although such contribution might appear to the common community disproportionate and unjust, (hence the silence of the Los Angeles press on the subject of the donation) still, since it has always been considered a terrible calamity for a city to have its public buildings within its limits, it was doubtless fair and honest for the honorable Board of Supervisors to give the city the last $2,000; therefore, Resolved, That in view of the excessive hardship imposed upon Los Angeles city by being the county-seat, we extend our praise to it for its spotless generosity in not making twice as big a demand, and that we commend the wisdom and honor of the men who granted what was asked, just the same as we value the fact that heretofore the sum of $40,000 was issued in county bonds to build a bridge within the city limits of Los Angeles; and be it further Resolved, That we recognize it as an imperative duty of Los Angeles city—a duty the same as she frequently exercises in misrepresenting surrounding localities—to keep right on shoving both hands right down into the county treasury, and taking out county coin for city purposes; but Resolved, That before the city acquire all the county funds, at least a few benefits be conferred upon the outside towns, and that we pledge our influence to them, and ask their co-operation with us, especially when we, the citizens of Wilmington, at the next assembly of the honorable Board of Supervisors, will respectfully petition that body to be consistent with its former course, and protect the county interests from fire, by donating to this place $500, for the purpose of purchasing suitable fire apparatus, to protect the interests of the citizens of the county, constantly situated here, which interests consists, as is well known, of nine-tenths of all the freightable property of the county, shipped in and out of the port of Wilmington. Resolved, Inasmuch as this is a business affair relating to the county, that the press of the county be respectfully requested to publish the proceedings of the meeting. THE SQUIRREL PEST. Charles Lindley, the proprietor of the Monte Vista farm, has addressed a letter to the Patrons of Husbandry, through a Los Angeles paper, on the subject of squirrels, gophers, etc. He suggests a plan whereby those pests can be exterminated. It is: I. Require the Supervisors of the county to district the county into squirrel districts, and appoint a Squirrel Master for each. II. Raise a small tax, sufficient to purchase everything required, and to supply men to use the materials where there are not sufficient residents on the land. III. Give the Commissioner or Squirrel Master power to call out all persons in the district, five or six days in a room in which grain was stored were heated to 130 deg. by hot water pipes; this answering every purpose as far as the weevil is concerned, while the grain did not fail to germinate. It is said that fleeces of wool spread over loose grain attracts and kills the insects. Benzine is obnoxious to them, and a little of this sprinkled about in the vicinity of the grain would probably keep them off. But it is said that the scent of turpentine or the fumes of sulphur does not seem to discompose the insects. Close rooms are what the weevil delights in. The egg of the granary weevil is deposited on the grain, the larva burrow inside and feed upon its inner substance, and the perfect weevil makes its escape from a small hole bored in the outer skin. We find in the Tualumne Independent following statement concerning what appears to be a very interesting case: "Last Saturday, Judge Mackey, of Merced, discharged one of his hired men, who was a confirmed drunkard. The man stayed in Merced City until the following Monday, when he departed for La Grange, taking the precaution to take a gallon of gin along. Nothing was seen of him after this until Wednesday, when two small boys, living just outside of La Grange, ran into their father's house, in great alarm, saying there was a man on the road who was burning up. Such proved to be the case. The unfavorable man, by his excess in drinking had destroyed his vital energies and chemical agents had obtained the ascendancy, so the hydrogen of alcoholic drinks had combined with the phosphorus of the body, forming phosphurated hydrogen, which ignited spontaneously, and the wretched man died a most appalling death. The Committee on literary exercises for the forthcoming celebration met yesterday, and made the following selections: Chaplain—Rev. D. T. Packard. Reader of the Declaration of Independence—Rohit Furlong, Esq. Poet—A. F. Kercheval. Orator—Gen. Volney E. Howard. Benediction—Rev. Mr. Eleiman. The selections made do great credit to the discriminating tastes of the committee. Mr. Furlong is an eloquent list of considerable merit. Mr. Kercheval may be relied upon to furnish a poem worthy of the occasion. General Howard's ability as an orator is too well-known in this community to need any comment at our hands—Los Angeles Star. The Republicans of Ohio have resolved that they "regard the agitation on the fields of politics of so-called temperance or liquor question as a complete mistake; that in the agitation of that question for the last seven or eight years they find the primary cause of the deterioration of the last two or three Legislatures, of the character of many of those elected to offices of trust and responsibility, and of bad municipal governments affecting many cities of the State, and therefore declare that they do not, in any man's sentiments on these questions." I. Require the Supervisors of the county to district the county into squirrel districts, and appoint a Squirrel Master for each. II. Raise a small tax, sufficient to purchase everything required, and to supply men to use the materials where there are not sufficient residents on the land. III. Give the Commissioner or Squirrel Master power to call out all persons in the district, five or six days in a year, for the destruction of these animals. Any law upon this subject (or any other) must be prepared with care. A squirrel law should be the product of the combined capacity of the experienced farmer or squirrel killer, who has well observed their habits, tastes, and best modes of destruction. The chemist who can give scientific directions to the practical experience of the farmer or squirrel killer, as to poisons, proportions, mixing, etc., and the lawyer who can give legal certainty in expression, and provide the powers and penalties necessary to secure efficiency. THE VALUE OF TIME.—"What does it matter if we loose a few minutes in a whole day?" Answer—Time table (days in a year, 313; working hours in a day, 8.) Days. h. m. 5 Minutes lost each day is, a year, 3 2 5 10 Minutes lost each day is, a year, 6 4 10 20 Minutes lost each day is, a year, 12 8 20 20 Minutes lost each day is, a year, 19 4 20 60 Minutes lost each day is, a year, 29 1 20 We trust the above will touch the hearts of those who "called in to see us, just for a minute." The Western Farm Journal says: A number of Indiana Granges have resolved in favor of using a portion of the funds now in the National Grange treasury for the purchase of tea and coffee abroad, to be sold to Patrons at cost, the general sentiment being that no considerable amount of funds obtained through the instrumentality of the Order, should be placed in an obsolete position, when so manifestly needed to carry on the business of the Order. Large open air meetings are being conducted daily by the chapmen of Stockton and are largely attended. The Republicans of Ohio have resolved that they "regard the agitation on the fields of politics of the so-called temperance or liquor question as a complete mistake; that in the agitation of that question, for the last seven or eight years they find the primary cause of the deterioration of the last two or three Legislatures, of the character of many of those elected to office of trust and responsibility, and of bad municipal governments afflicting many cities of the State, and therefore declare that they do not, in any man's sentiments on these questions, find any particular cause to support or oppose him for office, if otherwise well fitted therefor, and that they relegate the whole question, as one of morals only, to the fireside, the Sunday school, and the Church." The Plumans National in noticing the death of a bad Indian in that vicinity, says: "It gives us pleasure to record the fact that he has departed to the "happy hunting grounds." There are several more of the "noble red men" in this section who would be good Indians under the same circumstances and we trust that in a short time we shall be permitted to write their obituaries." The sugar beets of the Sacramento sugarare giving promise of a full harvest. The company has been practicing for three years past, consuming its profits in perfecting its knowledge. Now, this year will prove if sugar making from beets is a business reliable for 25 per cent. dividends. Affirmative proof is expected to decide this question this year. A miserably shod tramp called upon a Danbury family for an old pair of shoes. The lady of the house gave him a shoe, observing: "Pure only a pair too sparse. I give you one, and will keep the other for some other unfortunate who may come along." The man dropped a grateful tear, in behalf of the other unfortunate. It is supposed—Danbury News.
