The chief topic of conversation during the week has been the developments, real and repeated, made in connection with the arrest of the five men charged with burglary, the details of which were printed in these columns last week. If one-half of what is alleged against them he true, there is every likelihood of their passing a term in prison long enough to wipe them from the memory of everybody but their victims. J. W. Snow was arrested on last Friday afternoon at the oil wells by Detective Harris, charged with being connected with the burglarious gang. He was taken to Los Angeles and held in $1000 bail, which was given. The bail of the other five had been previously fixed at $2000 each, and they havesince been indurance. They were to have been formally examined in Justice Renney's Court in Los Angeles on Thursday, but the examination has been postponed until the 9th inst.; Snow's examination is set for Monday. It appears that Snow was not directly implicated in the crimes of the gang, but he knew of their depredations, and either through fear, indifference or a desire to eventually aid in their conviction, he gave a silent acquiescence in their work. After his arrest he is said to have turned "State's evidence," and pointed out to the officers where much of the stolen goods were hidden. Among the booty discovered were bales of cloth, clothing, gold watches, etc.; and concealed in a bed at the oil wells were two of the masks which were worn on their maudling expeditions. They were of common dark green muslin, with holes for the eyes and mouth, and ordinary strings for tying them. Much other criminating evidence was discovered by the Sheriff and his assistants, but the publication of the details might detest the ends of justice. A few days before the arrests were made, it is alleged that Mackie and Downa, knowing that they were being watched and under suspicion, planned to more effectually conceal some of the stolen property, which was hidden in their rooms at the hotel. They appropriated a large trunk owned by one of the employees of the hotel, filled it with the stolen cloth, clothing and other articles and during the night carried it to the old river bed north of town and buried it in the sand, together with a sack stuffed full of clothing.

The fruit is being sent away in carload lots nearly every day, and A. Guy Smith of Tustin has a standing order for three carloads per week—one for Omaha, one for Chicago and one for Minneapolis. Mr. Dumock of Orange is also shipping largely to the Eastern market. The shipments from Anaheim are mostly to San Francisco, and the fruit brings the top price in that market. Rev. Mr. Tombeen received $450 per box for his shipment of Navel oranges; $250 per box for Mediterranean Sweet and $225 per box for lemons. Mr. McPadden received similar prices and in addition a letter from his commission merchant praising the fruit highly and saying that there never would be any difficulty in finding a market for such superb fruit. Desiring to send some oranges to the Eastern market, Mr. F. B. Tracy addressed a letter of inquiry concerning freight rates to the agent at Los Angeles and received this reply: The rate on oranges to St. Louis and Chicago in carload lots of 20,000 pounds is $125 per hundred. About 300 boxes make a carload. You have the choice of routes, but we would be glad to be allowed to send them by one of our long haul, and promise you every dispatch. A curiosity in the form of an orange weighing twenty-four ounces is exciting no little interest in Levy, Fla., where it was grown. We have an indistinct recollection of having seen oranges as big in Anaheim, which were exhibited without evoking any great interest. The black snout which discolors oranges grown in many orchards, has until lately been removed by washing the oranges before boxing them for shipment. Until a few weeks ago one shipper in Orange employed as many as fifteen men at one time in washing and dressing the oranges. The operation The Southern Pacific Railroad has shipped from this point since the beginning of the present orange season, up to and including Sunday, 364 cars of oranges. All these have gone to Eastern points. Agent L. E. Mosher states that as nearly as he can gather, there will probably be as many more shipped before the end of the season. The Los Angeles County Annual Teachers' Institute will convene in the Normal School building, in the city of Los Angeles, on Monday, April 20th, 1885, at 11 o'clock A.M., and continue in session five days, Section 1560 of the School Laws makes it the imperative duty of every teacher employed in the public schools in the county to attend the Institute. The ostrich farm, as will be seen by notice in our advertising column, is now closed to visitors except on Sundays, when admission may be had upon the payment of $1. This high protective tariff is imposed because there is no desire upon the part of the Superintendent for any visitors, this being the breeding season, and it being detrimental to the birds to be excited by the presence of strange people. A couple of weeks ago, Mr. J. B. McCullough of North Anaheim went down to San Diego county to take charge of a ranch for a few months. He reached the place at breakfast time, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, while driving about the ranch in a buggy, he was thrown out with such violence that he was unconscious for over an hour. He was so severely cut about the head that a surgeon had to sew the wounds together. He was otherwise very badly bruised. We hope that by this time he is far on the road towards complete recovery. At the meeting of the Town Trustees on Wednesday the Committee on Public Improvements reported that they had awarded the contract for constructing a sidewalk on Center street to the depot, to Sorensen and Hill for $231. The ordinance levying a license was repealed and the Clerk's salary was fixed at $10.50 per month. The election proclamation was ordered published and the following officers appointed: Theodore Hartung, Inspector; D. W. Hudson and J. W. Hartman, Judges. The petition of Mr. Coquillett for a bridge on Adele street and Rev. J. M. Roberts for a bridge on Broadway, were referred to the Committee on Public Improvements. Adjourned until next Wednesday. A Remedy For Hard Pan. This is the era of dynamite, and it is refreshing to know that there are uses other than blowing up Princess Czars and government buildings to which powerful compound may be put. An ingenious gentleman of Anaheim whose vineyard is underlaid by a stratum of that impenetrable substance designated as hard pan, proposes to dig up some of his vines and replant better varie- A Few Rumors. This week before the arrests were made, it is alleged that Mackie and Downa, knowing that they were being watched and under suspicion, planned to more effectually conceal some of the stolen property, which was hidden in their rooms at the hotel. They appropriated a large trunk owned by one of the employees of the hotel, filled it with the stolen cloth, clothing and other articles and daring the night carried it to the old river bed north of town and buried it in the sand, together with a sack stuffed full of clothing which they were unable to get in the trunk. Of this fact and others of the same nature Mrs. Snow was aware, and on Tuesday she pointed out to the Sheriff the spot where the trunk was hidden, and the officer dug it out. She also, it is said, gave to the officer some of the watches which the thieves had placed with her for safe keeping. On Thursday evening two officers proceeded from Los Angeles to Santa Ana, where they were met by Snow, who pointed out to them where a quantity of cigars and a clock were concealed in the weeds near the railroad depot. These articles were found and identified as having been stolen from Tucker's saloon. Mr. Snow's knowledge of the doings of his friends appears to be quite extensive, and the officers will doubtless treat him with the most distinguished consideration. Lottie Greenleaf, from whose den at Santa Ana all this crime has radiated, sought to soothe her grief over the expose by going to Los Angeles and getting drunk. She was lodged in jail, and with the recklessness born of beer and a supple tongue, she gave away much that was of value to the prosecuting officers. Among other things, she admitted that she had made the masks above referred to. In addition to the crimes mentioned last week, the gang is charged with the bold burglary of the safe at Riverside some weeks ago. It will be remembered that the safe was taken from the store and down to the banks of the Santa Ana, where it was blown open. On the day before that event two of the gang hired a livery team at Santa Ana and when they returned next day the horses looked, as the stable keeper expressed it "as if they had been driven a hundred miles." They probably were. The theft of the watch from Mr. Pommer some months ago is also laid up against them, and it is thought that the murder of Billy Bras may yet be traced to them. It is further said that the safe at Anaheim railroad depot was the next thing they proposed to lay their burglarious hands upon. The officers are not diffident about expressing their opinion that Mackie was the chief conspirator and leader of the gang, and that the Gazette's expression of confidence in his innocence was the worst piece of misplaced confidence of which they have any knowledge. We can only find comfort in the fact that our lack of discernment was shared in by the community generally. A curiosity in the form of an orange weighing twenty-four ounces is exciting no little interest in Levy, Fla., where it was grown. We have an indistinct recollection of having seen oranges as big in Anaheim, which were exhibited without evoking any great interest. The black snout which discolors oranges grown in many orchards, has until lately been removed by washing the oranges before boxing them for shipment. Until a few weeks ago one shipper in Orange employed as many as fifteen men at one time in washing and drying the oranges. The operation was not only expensive but there was reason to believe that it had a bad effect on the keeping qualities of the fruit. Now, however, the fruit is cleaned in this way: A barrel is swung on two uprights, and through a trap door on the side a quantity of dry sawdust and two or three boxes of oranges are poured. The door is then closed and the barrel revolved slowly for about fifteen minutes, when the oranges are taken out, not only cleansed of every discoloration, but polished and brightened to a most tempting degree. One man can now clean more oranges than five could by the washing system, and do it better. Saxton & Cox report a brisk demand at their planing mill for sawdust. Many vineyards are far enough advanced to give an idea as to the probable crop, and those who know are of the opinion that the crop will be a very large one, barring accidents. The vines are showing up wonderfully well under the stimulating and warm weather. All other fruits also give promise of large crops; and, in short, the viticultural and horticultural industries of this vicinity are as encouraging as the agricultural industry is discouraging in the sections where it is chiefly followed. News From West Anaheim. Ed. Gazette.-As I have not seen anything recently in your paper in regard to the progress, advancement and civilization of the country west of the depot, with your permission I will give you a few rambling items. There have been some marked improvements made on Center street. The road in front of Mr. Moore's and Mr. Henry's has been graded and put in good condition, and the people living on said street, from the depot out, seem to vie with each other in keeping their places, including their sidewalks neat and clean. Passing over onto Broadway you find the same enterprise exhibited, and what was last fall an unsightly wilderness of weeds, has by the industry and hard work of Messrs. Meyers, Clark and Welch been transformed into beautiful places, which in a few years will be nice vineyards and orchards, paying back to their owners the money expended with interest. Mr. Bracket's place, although not all planted, is clean and looks as though somebody lived there, whether they expected to raise anything or not. Mr. Honeys place, about half a mile farther west, with its green trees and shrifty growing vines, looks like a little oasis in the desert. He thinks with plenty of cultivation he is all right without irrigation, and A Remedy For Hard Pan. This is the era of dynamite, and it is refreshing to know that there are uses other than blowing up Princes, Czars and government buildings to which that powerful compound may be put. An ingenious gentleman of Anaheim whose vineyard is underlaid by a stratum of that impenetrable substance designated as hard pan, proposes to dig up some of his vines and replant better variation. Before planting the cuttings, however, he will explode a dynamite cartridge at the place where each cutting is to be inserted, of course first digging a small hole a couple of feet in depth, so that the hard pan will require the full shook of the explosion. An dynamite exerts its full force in a downward direction, it is assumed that the impervious stratum will be so shattered as to leave cracks into which the roots of the vine can penetrate and draw nourishment. The idea is original and there is no apparent reason why it should not prove effective. Little Danger From Frost. This is the time of year when experience has led fruit growers to fear frost, but there is no apprehension felt of any such fright visitation this year. The few frosts which have damaged the vineyards in former years have all occurred about the full of the moon, and only in one instance has frost occurred after the 18th of April. As the moon does not fall until the 29th inst., fruit growers will be justified in dismissing all fear of danger from frost, and give all their attention to other sources of trouble.

They have been flying about as thick as sand during a sephyr. Our reporter made a vain attempt to catch them on the fly and succeeded for a few days in getting the most important, when pencil, paper and vigor gave out. Here are some of his brief memorandums: Monday—9 A.M. Three detectives in town shadowing eighteen of our most prominent citizens. Developments awaited with interest. 11 A.M.-Detective seen taking a drink—and paying for it. Proof that he is satisfied with his work. 12 M.-Simultaneous disappearance of suspected citizens. Have they given the Hawkshawa the alip? 1 P.M.-Reappearance of prominent citizens; they had only been to lunch. 3 P.M.-All the detectives gloriously drunk, and lodged in jail. They were not detectives disguised as tramp; they were only tramps. 4 P.M.-Terrible-narrow-escape look on faces of suspected citizens. Tuesday—8 A.M.

Wednesday—10 A.M. Everybody learns as everybody else was a midnight shift and daylight sobber. Deputy Sheriff searches from Sandra Ann with wagon head of horse he found hidden in woods near railroad depot. 11 A.M.-What was last fall an unsightly wilderness of weeds, has by the industry and hard work of Messrs. Meyers, Clark and Welch been transformed into beautiful places, which in a few years will be nice vineyards and orchards, paying back to their owners the money expended with interest. Mr. Bracket's place, although not all planted, is clean and looks as though somebody lived there, whether they expected to raise anything or not. Mr. House's place, about half a mile farther west, with its green trees and thrifty growing vines, looks like a little oasis in the desert. He thinks with plenty of cultivation he is all right without irrigation, and from the looks of everything at present, his prospects are very good. But time, which proves all things, will show the correctness of his views next fall. But, Mr. Editor, if you want to see the grand cap sheaf of enterprise and go-aheadiveness, just pass down the Garden Grove road to the Fairview school house, and stop and take a look at the house and grounds. The house with its broken windows and general dilapidated appearance; the lot with its thrifty weeds and then tell us if you don't think there is some public enterprise out this way. I was informed some two months ago that our enterprising neighbor, Mr. Schoru, kindly offered to donate trees and water to irrigate them. I also understood a time was set for the neighbors to meet and proceed to put the ground in order and set out trees; that on said day Mr. Holman appeared on the grounds armed and equipped according to law, but finding no one to give orders or render assistance, returned home. About the sixth hour Mr. House put in an appearance and finding no one, drove on to town. A short time after, Mr. Kallegg, hearing for the first time of the proposed proceedings, ranched down to see what was being done and render what assistance he could, but finding no one, had to return home solitary and alone. So ended the first act in the performance. As the second act has not come off yet, I cannot report it. I wonder if this district has any Trustee. I will also state there is quite an interesting little Sunday school kept up here, also preaching twice a month by Mr. Fenhing, a man who, like Paul, labored with his hands for a living. —M.

The operation Mammals five Scales Insects on Glionus Freigle No. Gannera—Now that a fair has been pinned relating to the destruction of insect parts, the next step is to ascertain what remedies are the most efficacious for destroying these pests. In this part of the State we have mostly to deal with scale insects on citrus trees. The remedy recommended by our State officials for the destruction of these pests consists chiefly of a solution of concentrated lye, or of one of its component parts—cinnatic soda or potash. Judging from the information that I have been able to obtain from these fruit-growers who have used these remedies, and also from the testimonies of others in the various agricultural and horticultural papers, there can be no doubt that these remedies are far from being all that they are claimed to be. Moreover, Prof. Riley has ascertained—or rather, one of his assistants has asserted for him—that a solution of either cannic soda or of potash strong enough to destroy the scale insects, injured the tree in a very serious manner, while at the same time the eggs of the scale insects were unharmed by it. Another remedy that has been extensively used in this State is a solution of whale-oil soap; this will destroy many of the scale insects without seriously injuring the tree, but it has little or no effect upon the eggs. A remedy which Prof. Riley found to be most effective in destroying scale insects and their eggs upon citrus trees, is an emulsion of kerosene oil. There are three or four different formulas for making this emulsion, but the following is the simplest and the one that will doubtless come into general use, as the ingredients of which it is composed can be readily obtained: Kerosene, two gallons; soap, one-half of a pound; water, one gallon. Dissolve the soap in the water, and add it, boiling hot, to the kerosene; then with a garden syringe, or similar appliance, churn the solution for five or ten minutes by drawing it into the syringe and then forcibly ejecting it back into the solution again. When perfectly emulsified it has somewhat the appearance of cream, and when cool, will adhere to glass without possessing a trace of oiliness. It can then be diluted with cold water to any degree required, the usual proportion being one part of the emulsion to nine parts of water; that HUMANISMS AND WILDLIFE.

From West Anaheim. As I have not seen any in your paper in regard to the enactment and civilization of the depot, with your pervive you a few rambling items. Seen some marked improve-Center street.

Dissolve the soap in the water, and add it, boiling hot, to the kerosene; then with a garden syringe, or similar appliance, churn the solution for five or ten minutes by drawing it into the syringe and then forcibly ejecting it back into the solution again. When perfectly emulsified it has somewhat the appearance of cream, and when cool, will adhere to glass without possessing a trace of oiliness. It can then be diluted with cold water to any degree required, the usual proportion being one part of the emulsion to nine parts of water; that is, the above formula of two gallons of kerosene, one-half a pound of soap and one gallon of water should be diluted with twenty-seven gallons of water, making in all thirty gallons. This has been found to destroy both the eggs and the insects of the long scale of Florida—a species related to the red scale of this State—without doing serious injury to the infested tree. The kind of soap used in making this emulsion is quite immaterial, as its office is simply to form an emulsion with the kerosene, in order that the latter may be diluted with water. Only the best grade of kerosene should be used. The proper season of the year for applying this solution is doubtless in the spring, and it should be applied early in the morning, in the evening or on a cloudy day; when applied in the hot sunshine it is very liable to seriously injure the tree. The solution should be thoroughly stirred before being applied to the trees, and also be frequently stirred during the process of applying it; when allowed to stand for some time the emulsion will gradually rise to the surface, like cream on milk. Much time and labor will be saved if the infested tree is severely pruned before the solution is applied. The success of this remedy depends largely upon the thoroughness of application, and it would well continue to continue the spraying several minutes after the operator is convinced that every portion of the infested tree has been thoroughly saturated with the solution. It need not be expected, however, that all of the scale insects and their eggs upon the tree will be destroyed by a single application; a second application three or four weeks later is necessary to effect a complete annihilation of the pest. This remedy, as stated above, is very strongly recommended by Prof. C. V. Riley—one of the foremost entomologists in the land. For nine consecutive years he held the position of State entomologist of Missouri; has been our national entomologist for five years—which position he occupies at the present time; as also that of Chief of the United States Entomological Commission—which latter position he has held since the formation of the commission, eight years ago.

He ranged about after the manner of his kind, but he was so very talkative and inquisitive that the knowing ones immediately fathomed his secret. He was a detective. The woods were full of them, and he confessed that the smart people of Anaheim had penetrated his duguisie. [A drink.] He had been in the business twenty-five years, and never before had he met people so keen and discerning as in Anaheim. [Thanks; I don't mind if I do take another beer.] I really must write immediately to my chief, Capt. Leon, and tell him that if he sends another detective here, he must take extraordinary pains to conceal his identity. [If you insist on it, I won't object. Gimme another beer.] And no the tramp detective was the lion of the hour. Having learned all he desired, and having been treated (to beer) with royal hospitality, he trudged to Santa Ana, and strange to relate, he was at once spotted as a detective. He saw it was no use to coneal his true character, and at once confessed the impetachment. He was treated with great cordiality (and beer), but he found himself in a financial predicament very embarrassing to a sensitive man five hundred miles away from home and among strangers. He had no ready money—only a draft signed by I.W. Lees, the well-known detective of San Francisco. "World you mind letting me have a little money until I get this thing enclosed?" was the modest request frequently prefaced. Some of them didn't mind, and he gathered in many sheds from various persons—one deputy sheriff, with fraternal liberality, giving him $20. He disappeared mysteriously and was successfully playing his little game at Birrende when he was maddened on a charge of forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses. He is now in jail at Los Angeles. Ladies' admiration to dancing school is omnipresent. A Pennsylvania court has decided that a woman's bangs are worth $25.

New carriages, good horses, nobby rigs, at Lewis's. The exciting rumor reaches the Brooklyn Chronicle that Miss Cleveland, the mistress of the White House, takes tea without cream or sugar. White's have sold forty Garden City Plown. Within the last twenty days thirty-four convicts have escaped from different State Prisons, and every day adds to the list. It would seem that prison-watchers are all provided with escapements. Look at the new style of vineyard plows, the best ever made, at White's. Horseshoes were unknown to the Greeks and Romans; and yet the people of these nations had considerable lack. They escaped the dynamite scars, the crazy-quilt crane, trampe and the roller-skating mania. To idols no man o'er will bend the knee. Still all with reverence drink EOLA TEA.
