their Poison Water Question's Meeting. object of the take bites, it must to the present time no sure antidote to their discovered. A great many been employed, with varying will tend people in all countries where poisonous snakes abound who are clearly convinced of the great virtues of that one remedy, sure to cure all cases when taken in season. Nevertheless contant and thorough experiments by physicians are different parts of the world for the past 20 years or more have proven beyond a doubt that the proper antidote remains yet to be found. All reputed remedies, when put to test, fail. In India, where more than 20,000 people die yearly from the bites of snakes and other poisonous snakes, the government has maintained for years an experimental station and offered large rewards for the discovery of a sure remedy of snake bite thus far without success. In spite of the fact that no known antidote exists today which can be relied upon to neutralize the poison once intruded into the blood, it is none the less true that a majority—rather nearly all—the persons bitten by rattlesnakes recover under some form of treatment or otherwise. I believe it is a very rare occurrence to die from the bite of the prairie rattlesnake; the venom of these species—the rattlesnake seems to be less violent than the poison of the true rattlesnake. Being smaller, too, there is always a venom thrown into the blood, and the vital forces of the system inhibit poisonous treatment are usually able terribly from its lethal effects. It is said that snakes are poisonous in certain seasons of the year than others. When they first come out in the spring, they are slow in movement and strike with but little force; as the season advances, and the hot days come, the serpent grows stronger and more active and the venom thickens. In midsummer, when they are said to be blind and to strike forebend and waddle at any noise about them, they are most virulent. Age and size the system. The miners in the mountains attach much virtue to the fashing of a quantity of gunpowder over the bite. This, with positions of tobacco and unlimited whisky, constituted their entire treatment, and it is usually successful. If the killing of a chicken and applying its warm flesh firmly to the wound be of any avail it must be through absorption of such venom as still remains there. It can in no way neutralize the poison. It was in 1851 that Dr. J. B. de Lacerda, Director of the Physiological Laboratory of the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro, announced to the French Academy of Sciences that after a long series of exhaustive experiments, reaching over a period of nine years, he had found an absolute antidote to snake bite. This was the permanganate of potash already spoken of. Many of his experiments were performed in the presence of the Emperor of Brazil and other scientific individuals and seemed uniformly successful. After the bite a one per cent solution of the permanganate is injected directly into the muscle by a fine syringe, followed directly by an injection of the permanganate solution, recovery took place. Other observers, however, by allowing the living snake to bite and then using the permanganate as directed, were not so successful. When sufficient poison was injected, as when the snake was allowed to bite more once, or when sufficient time was allowed to elapse to permit of the poison entering the blood in spite of the permanganate and internal remedies administered, death usually resulted. Nevertheless this permanganate solution is the best remedy known to-day, and should always be applied if possible. Simultaneously with the treatment of the wound, there should be given as soon as possible some form of alcoholic stimulant, and preferably whiskey. Although in no way an antidote to the poison, long-experience has proven its utility. Its value lies in its power to neutralize the depressing effects of the poison upon the nerve centers, while at the same time, it acts as an easily diffuable food supply, keeping up the heat and nutrition of the body till such time as the poison may have spent its force, and the system is able to rally from it. Whiskey is the best of all alcoholic stimulants in these cases. Its emeraldic vapors are more directly stimulatory to the respiratory nerve centers. The danger in the early stages of the action of the poison lies in its power to rapidly paralyz these centers, and since the poison acts sometimes with incredible rapidity, death following the bite, after a very short period of time, it is well to make no delay in the administration of the alcohol. It is not necessary to take large quantities to produce drunkenness, as common belief demands. One of two tablespoonfuls every 10 or 20 minutes until its affects are manifest, and the patient kept gently under its influence is all that is necessary. Should vomiting occur, the whiskey must be given by the hypoparmictic syringe under the skin. The administration of other stimulants, such as any damage was done there on exceedingly dangerous to put thin time of year. We hear a few chronic grumbles will vote down the water bound things don't go to suit them. Prime being inaugurated in one month that has ever been attempted. It is not to be expected! It be pleased with everything dumber than whole power is in! The people and changes may be ballot box; but all efforts to do people should be frowned down who wish to see our new achiral operation. We believe that Board of Directors who for instance wisdom and honesty any emergency that will arise in out of the provisions of the law should have the co-operation of instead of their opposition. Go Anahiem, let us maintain the pre-Directors and all future boards deserve our omniscience; then we know at the ballot box. It is not to bid the devil good morning meet him, but don't let us squash one is hurt. The Commissioners of Orange their last meeting at Santa Ana on 30th, and adjourned six days after Supervisors will hold their on August 31, when they will renew some of the new county. One thing will be the appointing sioners to meet two others appointed Angeles county supervisors, and appoint a fifth, to take stock and property of Los Angeles county to Orange county.

Annaheim Water Co. At the special meeting of the Anaheim Water Company urdley to determine at what pany would sell out to the new irrigation District, it was resolved stock at $15 per share. The shares of assessable stock in which will bring $103,590. The debt of the company, age 500, bringing the sum total up. After some discussion it will place the amount at $160,000 finally discussed and an agreement upon at a meeting to be held Saturday. Some directors are placing the price of stock at $20. Sugar Beets The Los Angeles Chamber has received returns of the year. The Los Angeles Chamber has received returns of the year. their power before it can be absorbed. Even if one has a scratch or sore about the mouth, by spitting out the blood as fast as removed from the wound, the chance of poisoning from some absorption would be very slight. At the same time a ligature or bandage, which should begin inch broad or more—a handkerchief folded upon itself several times will do, should be applied immediately to the hind butten, between its upper extremity and the point of bite. This should be tied tightly, to prevent as far as possible the blood charged with poison from entering further into the circulation. This ligature is possible, however, only when the bite is upon one of the limbs. It cannot be applied when one is bitten upon the head, neck or trunk. To make the wound bleed freely, two cuts should be made across it. A jack knife will do for this, the cuts being directly across the points of the snake's fangs and at right angles to each other, and deep enough to insure free bleeding. The wound is to be torn sickled still again, or if prepared and the materials are at hand cupping can be used. A small tumbler or wine-glass from which the air has all been exhausted by burning a small quantity of alcohol or spirits therein, should be quickly placed over the wound. An ordinary wide mouthed bottle or can, in which boiling water has been poured and quickly emptied, can be used. These measures can all be carried out in the absence of the doctor, who is usually miles away when most needed and when most useful, and that is directly after the bite. The victim should be kept as quiet as possible. Any exertion, such as running, would increase the heart's action and more liable to hasten the entrance of the venom into the circulation. After assuring itself that free bleeding has taken place and that all the venom has been withdrawn, it is possible, the next thing is to apply some local dressing to the wound. The best of remedies for this is a one or two per cent solution of permanganate of potash. It has been repeatedly proven that this is the best antagonist of the venom, neutralizing its power completely when brought in contact with it. If there be any poison still lurking in the wound, this remedy, applied by compresses thoroughly saturated with it, will destroy it. If the physician be present, it would be also injected into the wound by a epidermic needle. But permanganate of potash is not a remedy to be obtained readily and failing in this, one should apply by means of compresses a saturated solution of potash or ammonia, which are to be found in every household. Whether these exert any favorable action or not is still a question. As they are alkaline and the poison itself is and there seems to be some ground for the belief in their efficacy to neutralize the poison. One could cite a hundred or more different things, from madatones to the skin of a black cat, which have been in vogue as cures for rattlesnake bite, many of which are today highly recommended in different parts of the country. It is questionable whether any of them are of any particular value, unless it be the tinctorie of indiana and the knoture of the chloride of iron, which can be used upon the wound like the others. Exclusive laboratory experiments prove all these repaired remedies to fall in every instance where sufficient poison is taken into to the Moqui Indians of Arizona at the time of their celebrated snake dance. "I was shown," says he, "the so-called antidote which they employ in case a dancer it bitten; it is a pale, dirty green fluid without odor and slightly bitter to taste, but its composition could not be ascertained, only two individuals in the tribe know how to prepare it. It is used mixed with saliva and the charcoal of pinon nuts to smear the bodies of those Indians who are to participate in the dance, and after it is finished, copious draughts of it are swallowed, which produce quick vomiting. In case one is bitten, which happens occasionally, the wound is immediately sucked, some of the antidote rubbed into the wound, and a large quantity swallowed. During the last ten years, in which period five dances have occurred, but one individual has perished from snake bite, and this is more surprising when the fact is made known that the salient feature of the dance consists in the dancer holding one or two rattlesnakes in his mouth. The writer saw two individuals bitten, both by harmless snakes. Unfortunately for science, no opportunity was afforded to test the permanane solution, which had been prepared and was on hand for use should occasion offer." In Southern California, especially in vicinity, I believe the rattlesnake is the only one that is poisonous. It is possible other species may exist in the mountains but I have thus far heard only of a small red snake called coral snake and reputed dangerous. It is probably not so. Our common snakes, the gopher and red racer, are perfectly harmless. I can conclude this article perhaps in no better way than to quote the results of the life study of snake poisons by Sir Joseph Fayrer, the most distinguished English authority on this subject. "Snake poison acts with most vigor on the warm blooded animals; birds succumb very rapidly; a vigorous snake can destroy a fowl in a few seconds. The power of resistance is generally in relation to the size of the animal, though not altogether so; cats, for instance, resist the influence of the poison almost as long as dogs three or four times their size. Cold blooded animals also succumb to the poison much less rapidly. Fish, non-venomous ankles, mollusca—all die. After death from cobra poison the blood coagulates, but remains fluid after the bite of a viperine serpent." With regard to treatment, he says, "I have tried every reputed antidote and every plan of treatment, but without certain success in any of them. I believe, however, that sucking, incision, ligature and general treatment seem to afford some chance. Much, however, needs still to be done in the way of experimentation." J.H. Bullard. Plenentia Pointers. Editor Gazettee. — We have been thinking of going down to Yuma to cool off as the weather here has been excessively hot last few days. Caused, no doubt, by the large fires in the hills just north of here which have been burning for four days, doing much damage to stockmen and beamen.

It is suddenly dangerous to put fire out at a time of year. We hear a few chronic grammars say they have taken down the water hounds, etc., things don't go to suit them. This enterprise being inaugurated in one of the grand that has ever been attempted by our people. It is not to be expected that all will be planned with everything done, but remember the whole power is in the hands of people and changes may be made at the hot box; but all efforts to demolish the people should be frowned down by those who wish to see our new scheme in uncomprehension. We believe that we have a ward of Directors who for intelligence, experience, wisdom and honesty are equal to emergency that will arise in the carrying of the provisions of the law, and they would have the cooperation of the people and their opposition. Good people of Anaheim, let us maintain the present Board Directors and all fatten-boards, until they serve our commute; then we can let them now at the ballot box. It is certainly time had the devil good morning when you hit him, but don't let us squelche before any is hurt. The Commissioners of Orange county held our last meeting at Santa Ana on Tuesday, 30th, and adjourned our die. The Board Supervisors will hold their first meeting August 31, when they will run the business of the new county. One of the first steps will be the appointing of two commissioners to meet two others appointed by Los Angeles county supervisors, and the four to point a fifth, to take stock and divide the property of Los Angeles county that belongs Orange county. Several of the officers have spent some days in the offices of Los Angeles county getting the run of business. They all speak in complimentary terms of the courtesy shown them by the Los Angeles county officials. A mild type of whooping cough prevails in acetia. Miss Mosher, who was elected as assistant teacher, did not accept as she was elected to position in Los Angeles at $15 a month other wages. Thus it ever is, the city by lying good wages draws the beat talent her schools. We regret to lose Miss Mosher, as she was one of the best primary teachers we ever had in our school. The trustees have employed Miss Walker, who times well recommended with two years' experience and a graduate of the State Normal School. P. Hansen and family will go to the Landing this week to sniff the sea breeze. They will remain sorae time. Quite a number from Fullerton and Placentia went down to coast on Sunday just for the day.

A growt from Fullerton EDITOR GAZETTE. — The Wright bill provides in Section 12: "The use of all water required for the irrigation of lands of any district formed under the provisions of this statute is hereby declared to be of public interest." A Growl from Fullerton EDITION GAZETTE. The Wright bill provides in Section 12: "The use of all water required for the irrigation of lands of any district formed under the provisions of this act, etc., is hereby declared to be of public use." This provision is in conformity to Article NIV of the New Constitution on water and water rights, which reads: "The use of all water now appropriated, or that may hereafter be appropriated, for sale, rental or distribution, is hereby declared to be public use." This much overlooked law is no doubt very inconvenient to men who want all and have their neighbors nothing. Still it stands recorded and is in force. Then, who is the name of thunder has given to the shareholders of the A.U.W.Co. the sole ownership and exclusive right to the use of the available river water in preference to all other landowners in the new district, and to one Yorbas either. They came first and have used the water for many years, and are welcome to it. Next came the Anaheimers, who made a serviceable straight-down ditch and have used the water ever since, and welcome to it. Then came the North Anaheim Canal Company, which made a poor ditch, too high up, without sufficient fall and they have been welcome to the use of the water. At last came the A.U.W.Co. sharing the water to stockholders in a joint stock company, running into debt for lawsuits and now, totally disgusted with having heavy assessments to pay, claim the sole ownership of all the water, expecting to be paid for shares, debts, water, ditches and all. They have a right and title to their ditch, flumes and whatever water works there are, and if these are not worth a fraction of their debt, it is to be regretted like all similar insolencies. They have justly claimed and have received payment for the delivery of water to shareholders, to the unjust exclusion of all other landowners. But the water is of public use, and therefore belongs to all alike, or else that fundamental law contained in the New Constitution has no meaning and force. Anaheim Water Company. At the special meeting of stockholders in the Anaheim Water Company, held last Saturday to determine at what price the company would sell out to the new Anaheim Irrigation District, it was resolved to place the stock at $15 per share. There are 6,906 shares of assessable stock in the company, which will bring $103,590. To this is added the debt of the company, aggregating $48,000, bringing the sum total up to $152,090. After some discussion it was decided to place the amount at $160,000, which will be finally discussed and an agreement decided upon at a meeting to be held a week from Saturday. Some directors are in favor of placing the price of stock at $200,000. Sugar Beets.

Sugar Beets. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce have received returns of the sugar beet seed by J. D. Spreckela & Bros. of San Francisco for experimental planting. The beets were well planted late, and the farmers who handled them were without any experience, and the secretary was very fearful the showing would be very poor. The importance of the project seems not to have been appreciated by the farmers, as but a few samples were returned out of a total of perhaps 50 expected. The Tribune of Sunday last days: We may claim we have sugar beet soil, and talk about analyses that have been made at different times in the past, but a sugar factory to cost $500,000 will not be built by capitalists on any such representations. Some of the reasons assigned by farmers, while provoking are languishable. One said that while they were young they sampled them to eat, and they proved so palatable that they ate all of them, another forgot them, another overlooked them in the weeds and plowed them up, and so on, while over forty make no response whatever. Had there been general attention paid to this, and a large number of samples had analyzed the minimum even of 14 per cent, the factory would almost have been assured. With the present returns a vast amount of work has to be done over and a year lost, all on account of the dilatory habits of those who received the seed. The Nadeau vineyard tract people did not get their sown until very late, and only showed 9 per cent. An analysis made in 1882, it is claimed, showed 18 per cent. Mr. Pource is confident that the beets will show much better results when matured. Verdugo, only three months, show 9.64 per cent. Lankershim ranch and Glendale both analyze 10.5 per cent, and will undoubtedly run much higher at maturity. Senator Cole of Colagrove produced beets having the highest per cent of sugar, which was 12 per cent. This is only 2 per cent short of first-class requirements. It is hoped that all will permit the beets to come to maturity, as the secretary has obtained the consent of Mr. Spreckela for another analysis later. Such an industry would revolutionize farming and be worth millions to this county. —Geo. H. Lichtenberger of Luzerne, Benton county, Iowa writes to learn the cause of his failure to receive the GAZETTE. He says: "What is the matter with the Anaheim GAZETTE? Is he sick or something else? Didn't get the numbers for June 27, July 4 July 11, July 18 and July 25. Please send these back numbers at once. I can't miss the GAZETTE. I must have them." The GAZETTE is not sick. He is well. What is the matter with the mail, Wanamaker? —Our friend Larsson wagered that he would swim across the channel at the Landing on Sunday with a lighted cigar in his mouth. A box of cigars was to be the stakes, but our sporting editor failed to learn who won, or whether the cigar "went out." Commodore Davis says he can do the feat every day in the week, and if a small wager can be arranged for next Sunday the trial will be attempted by him. —Constable Landell arrested Jake Vetter on Sunday evening, on a charge of wife-beating. He demanded a jury trial on Monday, and was found guilty. Judge Pierce fined him $10, an exceedingly lenient tax for this unspeakably inhuman crime. It is said Vetter threshes his wife on the least provocation, and if he is called up again on a like charge there are numerous men here who have registered themselves as favoring a large-sized coat of tar and feathers for him. —Receipt of the pamphlets on "Orange Culture in Southern California," compiled by the Redlands Orange Grove Company, and an "Investigation of the Purposes and Practices of certain so-called National Building and Loan Associations," is acknowledged. The first is issued from the press of the Citrograph, and contains a large number of interviews with orange growers, detailing the actual results of many years of experience in citrus culture. —On Washington street, Los Angeles, the Horticultural Commissioners have five large houses, with cloth sides, devoted to the breeding of the lady-bug. Within two weeks they will have enough of these parasite destroyers to supply every man in the county. The bugs are distributed free to all comers and thus the doom of the white scale is sealed. The board are now experimenting to secure a parame which will destroy the red scale, and there is not much doubt that they will succeed. —Anaheim Landling is commencing to assume its customary summer appearance, so far as the number of campers is concerned. Already a dozen families are comfortably fitted up in their tents, while quite a number have taken up quarters in the old warehouse, where a restaurant is conducted by Mrs. Roberts. The fine bathing facilities of this resort is the main attraction, which together with a smooth bag for heating, makes the place one much weight after during the spring. Missara Zeyn and Kord Dora Zeyn and Marie Horstmann have returned from their trip to San Juan hot springs. Henry Reimer, M.-Schwed and Charles Schewd of New York are spending a few days here, the guests of Mrs. Heiman and the Misses Fischman. John Osborne of Texas has accepted a position with H.C.Gade's trucking line. He lived here some years ago, and his friends will be pleased to know of his return. Mr. and Mrs. Plez James are sojourning at Arrowhead hot springs. Mrs. James has been seriously ill for some time past and may remain at the springs for some weeks to recuperate her health.
