LATE NEWS OF THE WEEK. A Test of the Coal-Oil Emulsion Spray. First Emulsily Properly. Then Go for the Scene The Spray Exhibited in the French and Hinde Orchards—A Railroad Accident Narrowly Averted City Fathers—Roll of Honor All the Happenings of the Past Seven Days. A large number of orchardists and others interested in the important question of destroying scale assembled at Judge French's orchard at Placentia on Saturday afternoon to witness an exhibition of the coal-oil emulsion spray, and to observe the manner of its preparation. The spray is made after an old Government formula, issued by the Department of Agriculture some nine years ago, but had gone out of use on account of inefficient results. This was owing to the fact that the emulsion was not properly prepared. The ingredients were not emulsified, and the spray had little if any effect upon the scale. Messrs. Hinde and Thales of Placentia had been using the emulsion all along, however, with the result that their orchard is today practically free from scale. They understood the emulsifying process, and consequently their spray killed the scale in their trees. Judge French had called upon them some weeks ago and had been given the formula. He tried the spray on his trees, found it killed the scale, and then a meeting was called to consider the newly found remedy. The meeting was held in town a couple of weeks ago, and adjourned to the Judge's orchard to witness the mode of spraying. A general invitation had been extended the orange growers of the country-side to be present. Arriving at the orchard the trees were looked over to ascertain the results of their recent spraying. Sprayed a couple of weeks ago, the trees show the best of results. Everybody conceded that the coal-oil emulsion is just the thing to destroy the scale. Next the preparation of the spray was witnessed. Before giving the formula a brief reference to the method of preparing the spray will be given. It is necessary to procure a barrel with a spraying pump attached to the top. In mixing, after the ingredients are placed into the barrel, the pump is worked, taking the ingredients up from the barrel where and is a model of beauty. A Noir of Spain mulberry tree is a feature of the orchard. It was raised from the seed and has attained a large and rugged growth. It fruits during four months of the year. The fruit is large and luscious, and besides being a prolific bearer the tree is a splendid shade tree. A chestnut tree, loaded with chestnut burra, is another feature. There are many other rare trees and plants, all well attended to and looking beautifully. Railroad Accident Narrowly Averted. While the south-bound freight train on the Southern California Railroad was running at a rapid rate along the route in Bedrock Canyon above Yorba, on Wednesday afternoon of last week, it narrowly escaped a very serious accident, which would have wrecked the train and possibly have killed the men aboard. A large landslide of many tons of dirt and rock had tumbled down the hillside on the track, where it runs along the side of the river, a short distance above the head of the Cajon ditch. An accident was only averted by the presence of mind of a Mexican youth named Moreno, who was working for Tom Scully near by, and who warned the train in time to save it. Moreno had been at work in a cornfield above the head of the ditch, where the railroad makes a sharp bend around the mountain side, and where an obstruction on the track cannot be seen very far ahead. Suddenly he heard a great rumbling sound, and wondering what the commotion was all about, he ran from the field toward the railroad track, where he found that a great mass of earth and rock had fallen from the side of the bill onto the track, completely covering it, and running over the roadbed into the river. There were many tens of the debris, and to have run into it would have meant destruction to a train. Undoubtedly the engine would have pitched into the river, carrying its train of cara with it. In a moment Moreno heard the down freight coming along in the canyon above. He ran on to meet it as fast as he could and to warn it of the impending danger. When a quarter of a mile above the scene of the landslide the train swept into view around one of the numerous curves that line the track in the canyon, and Moreno waved his arms vigorously and yelled at the top of his voice to warn the train of its danger. The engineer sounded the danger signal, and called for down brakes. As the train shot past Moreno, he called to the engineer, who was now leaning out of the cab to learn what was up; that there was great danger below. Then, still calling for brakes, the engineer reversed the engine, and as the train ran rapidly around the curve above the landslide, he succeeded in staying its flight in time to save it from disaster. Even as it was, the cowcatcher poked its nose into the obstruction on the track. The train was saved from a very serious wreck by Moreno's act.

Arriving at the orchard the trees were looked over to ascertain the results of their recent spraying. Sprayed a couple of weeks ago, the trees show the best of results. Everybody conceded that the coil-oil emulsion is just the thing to destroy the scale. Next the preparation of the spray was witnessed. Before giving the formula a brief reference to the method of preparing the spray will be given. It is necessary to procure a barrel with a spraying pump attached to the top. In mixing, after the ingredients are placed into the barrel, the pump is worked, taking the ingredients up from the barrel, whence they are forced into a short hose and then forced back into the barrel again. A continual churning is kept up until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. The formula is as follows: Take of whale oil soap, half a pound, and of water one gallon. Boil until the soap is thoroughly dissolved; then strain into the barrel through a strainer made of a small hoop and a piece of cheese cloth. Two gallons of best kerosene are placed in the barrel. Work the pump for the churning process twenty to thirty minutes. The ingredients will be worked up into a perfect cream, and when properly mixed, will adhere without the appearance of oil to the surface of a piece of glass. When this stage has been arrived at, pour into the barrel twenty-seven gallons of water. This will make thirty gallons of spray. The amount of water may be lessened, however, by two or three gallons, putting in its place as much of the boiled soap, straining it through the strainer and keeping the pump working all the time. After all these conditions have been complied with, there are thirty gallons of spray, and operations against the scale may begin. To the force pump at the top of the barrel there are now attached two rods of small hose, twenty-five feet in length, and at each end of those is a hollow bamboo rod ten feet in length having at the outer end the spraying nozzle. With the bamboo rods in hand a couple of men spray the tree on either side, or one may do the work, shutting off the other spray. Mr. Hinde uses a Climax all-brass pump. When spraying operations are to begin the bamboo rod is lifted into the tree, and the force pump set going. A very fine mist-like spray, ethereal as a summer cloud, is thrown in surprisingly large volume, into the tree. A tree twenty-five feet in height will take ten gallons of spray. The cost of the spray is a cent a gallon, or ten cents per tree. After the emulsion is made, if it is not desired to use it immediately, it will thicken as it cools, and should be covered to protect the oil from evaporating. If well bleached the emulsion will keep good for several weeks. The emulsion makes a good wash for all ordinary purposes, and will drive away ants and insects of every description. It is made, it will have been observed, in the proportion of 1 to 9, that is 9 gallons of water to 1 oil and soap. To kill all the eggs and young scale that hide under the old, the proportion of 1 to 7, or 21 gallons of water to 3 oil and soap, will more surely accomplish the purpose. The proportion of 1 to 5 will not hurt the trees, if the emulsion is well made. Rather more than less of the soap should be used to make the emulsion, especially if the soap is not dry. The more moisture there is in it, the poorer it is for the purpose and the quality should be increased in proportion. Less than half a pound of soap to two gallons of kerosene will not form a stable emulsion; it will separate the oil from the water. Judge French uses a Star spraying pump, which may be purchased in San Francisco for spraying. Arriving at the orchard the trees were looked over to ascertain the results of their recent spraying.

Less than half a pound of soap to two gallons of kerosene will not form a stable emulsion; it will separate the oil from the water. Judge French uses a Star spraying pump, which may be purchased in San Francisco for $50. A complete spraying outfit, consisting of rods, hose, barrels, etc., is included in the amount. Spraying was witnessed both in the French and Hindu orchards, and an inspection of the trees—the first sprayed but a few weeks ago and the latter every year for eight years—demonstrated that the emulsion was the best as well as the cheapest thing yet discovered for the eradication of the scale. The large crowd were hospitably entertained both by Judge French and Messrs. Hinde and Thales, and everyone present declared a most profitable as well as a highly enjoyable afternoon has been spent. Quite a number of ladies graced the party with their presence, and took quite as much interest in the spray as the others. The Horticultural Commissioners of Orange county were also present. There is no doubt that the emulsion will work wonders in the destruction of scale, and those whose orchards are infested with bugs should try it at once. They will find it cheap and efficacious. Mr. Hinde furnishes the following information in regard to the emulsion: Apply it when there is little or no wind, and the air is cool. In the summer this can only be done in the early morning, say from dasbrak till 8 or 9 o'clock a.m., and in the evening from 4 till dark; the evaporation will be too great, and the wash would dry off before it had done its work if done in the middle of the day. Clean out the inside of the tree and thoroughly spray the inside as well as the outside of the foliage. It will then fall pout of soap to two gallons of the kerosene will not form a stable emulsion, as it will separate the oil from the water. Keep the emulsion well stirred with a stick, or agitated with the force pump, while the water is being added to it. This causes it to more perfectly blend and form a more stable wash. If this point is not observed the kerosene is liable to separate and float on top of the sap. If the emulsion is well made and well mixed into a wash it will need no more stirring during its application. It is not best to add water to the emulsion right previous to the day on which you intend using it, as the oil has a tendency to separate from the water by standing for several hours without salting. The outlet success or failure of the spray may depend upon the manner of mixing the emulsion; therefore the greatest care should be taken that the mixture is thoroughly worked together. The Hinde orchard is very neatly kept, Delivered at Santa Ana August 24th in favor of the county high school: "We did not expect there would be any opposition to the matter when it was first brought up. No county is so well situated for a county high school. There is no community but that could send pupils to the high school. The opposition so strongly waged is not an opposition to the high school. They don't talk high school; they talk against Santa Ana—to down Santa Ana. The opposition have gone so far as to look up the law to see who is going to be benefited. They say Santa Ana wants a Courthouse, and they urge that they will teach those Santa Ana fellows that they can't run Orange county. There would be no opposition if these people thoroughly understood the question, and were not led astray by their prejudices." "And what shall we say," asks the Orange News, "of our School Superintendent? Our cheeks mantle with shame that any official of Orange county should descend so low as to appeal to the lowest and most brutal passions of the human breast for the purpose of carrying a point! Nothing in the annuals of anarchism could be worse than this! Will Santa Ana permit herself to be played upon and her joyous fawn into a flame by every demagogue who wishes to use her? Have we not declared over and over that we merely wish to discuss and protect our mutual interests, those of the whole county? When will Santa Ana feel so secure and at same time be so disposed to deal justly that she can say: 'Come, let us reason together over this matter.'" -An exchange says that when a man takes a cigar out of his mouth to tell the editor to stop his paper, that he can't afford it, the editor may say nothing, but he thinks a great deal.

And when he stops his paper because a two-line item does not suit him, and then peters his neighbor by borrowing the paper, the editor may say nothing, but he thinks a good deal.

Miss Clara Mossemann is in San Francisco, where she is selecting her fall and winter stock of millinery. Her importations will this season be finer than ever. Lionel Browning has gone on a visit to British Columbia on a sailing vessel that left Redondo on Monday. He will remain away two or three weeks. John Rimpau came up yesterday from San Jacinto, where he has been sojourning for a couple of weeks. John caught a glimpse of Bob Wetzel one evening, but did not get a chance to speak to him. Councilman T. J. Fisher of Coronado dropped into town on last Thursday evening's train and departed on Friday morning. He made many friends during his short stay, and promised to visit us again in the near future. Messrs. Tim Boege, R. Spoerl, Chris Saalwaechter, Chas. Hille and his nephew accompanied the Los Angeles turners on their trip to San Diego Saturday and Sunday. They report having had a very pleasant time. Mrs. Theo. Rimpau, accompanied by her daughters, Misses Matilda and Sophia, returned last evening from San Jacinto, whither Dr. Gardiner's bondsmen is now pending in the Superior Court of this county. Yesterday was the anniversary of the Independencia Mexicana, the Mexicans' Fourth of July. W. H. Avery has gone into the fruit and commission business. Call on him for bargains in his line. A court of Foresters was instituted at Westminster on Monday night of last week with twenty-three charter members. Several orange growers in town are making preparations to use the coal-oil emulsion spray. It is a "stem-winder" for scale. The weather has moderated appreciably, and life is a little more endurable than in the sultry Salten sea days of some weeks ago. Mr. Parker's orchard is being fumigated. Several others will be if the work can be done at a fair rate. The patent is dead. Tuesday the weather looked like rain, and yesterday afternoon it was cloudy. The weather prophets are already predicting rain. Invitations are out for the reception and musicale to be tendered Rev. and Mrs. Robinson at the Del Campo on the evening of September 29th. The sunflowers on some of our streets are absolutely disgraceful. If they could be transplanted they might be turned into a park. Cut them down. Robert Menzel is prepared to deliver fine specimens of raisin grapes to those wishing them. Give him an order, and he will fill it with neatness and dispatch. We were over at Santa Ana the other day interviewing the pirates. From the latest reports, everybody was satisfied the county high-school job had been defeated. Laudlord Helmsen received several seeds of the Chino sugar the other day, which is now on sale at his Daylight Store. Call on the landlord for anything in his line. Max Nelbenga has been acquired from Southern California will come before the meeting. Let every one interested in the advancement of the horticultural interest of Southern California especially make it a point to be in attendance at the meeting. The people of Pasadena will give a heartwelcome to all members of the society, and to any who may wish to become such. Sell's circus will be at Santa Ana on October 1st. This is the first time in the history of circuses in Southern California that The Gazette appears without the usual circus ad. We missed it by failing to secure an audience with the press agent. He sent us a letter, as we understand, but, alas! it never came. But well go to the cirous. Now that the season at the Landing is ended, our Fullerton friends pass the time easily, attending the holiness camp meeting holding forth in their town. Many convert are being made, but the meeting was interrupted to such an extent as sacrilegious outiders the other night that the protection of the Sheriff had to be telephoned for. The Board of Supervisors were in session on Monday. They approved the contract with Attorney Hutton of Los Angeles, who is to assist District Attorney Sanborn in the suit between Los Angeles and Orange counties; allowed the District Attorney to pursue a typowriter, and passed a number of election bills. Agent Hill of the Southern California Railroad must have been born under a lucky star. He was in to see us on Monday noon, and on leaving picked up a $5 gold piece on the sidewalk in front of this office. And we had been over the place 'steen thousand times during the preceding hour. Editors are so unlucky. Call again Hill. Commencing Thursday, September 17th, and each Thursday thereafter Pollman tourists cars in charge of Santa Fe excursion agents will run through to Boston without change via the Chicago & Grand Trunk, Central Vermont & Boston and Maine railways. For further information concerning these excursions call on Agent Hill at Southern California depot. A robustous rooster domiciled in the neighborhood of the editorial household awakes the echoes of the yet night, punctually before daybreak every morning, by unlunging himself of a series of lusty crows as sleep-dispelling as the blast of a young ferry that we are doing quite well, we renew the assurances of our distinguished consideration, and beg him respectfully to come off the porch. Let us see whether he will do it. We are in receipt of a letter from ex-Zanjoro Anderson in which he states he did not collect $4 from Mr. Wagner for water. It is on the minutes of the Secretary's books A robustous rooster domiciled in the neighborhood of the editorial household awakes the echoes of the yet night, punctually before daybreak every morning, by unlunging himself of a series of lusty crowds as sleep-dispelling as the blast of a young ferry. We beg to assure this unholy bird that we are doing quite well, we renew the assurances of our distinguished consideration, and bog him respectfully to come off the perch. Let us see whether he will do it. We are in receipt of a letter from ex-Zanjoro Anderson in which he states he did not collect $4 from Mr. Wagner for water. It is on the minutes of the Secretary's books that a demand for the $4 was made on Anderson. We are informed by the Secretary that the ex-Zanjoro delivered Mr. Wagner $4 worth of water and failed to report it to the company. The matter is slightly mixed, and should be straightened out. An agent of the Renters' Co-operative Investment Company of San Francisco was in town yesterday, endeavoring to engage the attention of our citizens in his business. He found it rather an up-hill job, as nearly every one hereabouts owns stock in the local Building & Loan Association, the best association ever formed in Anaheim. Every one should take stock in this local organization. See the Secretary, or any of the Board of Directors, and got all information, then take a block of stock. Mr. Harker has added an eighty-three-pound watermelon to the exhibit of big products at his harness store. He will keep it on exhibition until next season. Besides running the finest harness shop in Southern California, Harker is an enthusiast on the uncommonly prolific soil of this section, and loses no opportunity of showing newcomers what we can do in the big vegetable, fruit and garden truck line. He offers a dollar for a watermelon weighing 100 pounds. Engineer Kellogg was up at the head of the ditch on Monday in company with Fred Eaton and J. P. Flynn, hydraulic engineers of Los Angeles, who had been commissioned by the Superior Court to measure the capacity of the Yorba ditch. They made their report to the court on Tuesday. It understated it tallis precisely with Mr. Kellogg's figures. This fact is exceedingly flattering to the latter gentleman, as the point has been in controversy for some time. We hope to print the report in the near future. The City Trustees will in future allow the City jail to be used for the incarceration of county prisoners only on condition that the county will pay a moderate rental. We were allowed by Los Angeles county $20 per year for the locking up of county prisoners, which was perfectly proper and cheap enough, and the Trustees are determined that Orange county shall do the same, or look out for their prisoners themselves. There is no doubt the Supervisors will agree to pay the rental. Our townsman Mr. Gosch is puruing his investigations into the origin and nature of the scale with a vigor that should be crowned with success. He has several observing stations in his orchard, and has on closed several young and perfectly healthy trees in wire netting, and has placed on each some bugs of different species, to see what they will bring forth. The bugs are being observed carefully, and Mr. Gosch is confident he will find which insects are friends of the scale and which are its enemies. That he may be able to demonstrate this very in- BUENA PARK. L. A. Scott is giving a series of lectures explaining the prophecies of the Bible in regard to the second coming of Christ. They are very interesting as well as instructive and one is well repaid by attending them. They are given in Whitaker's Hall and will be continued through the week at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Scott is a very pleasing speaker, and handles his subject in a very able manner. Prof. Van Lew of Los Angeles was at Centralia Hotel Sunday. He sang for the Endeavor Society in the evening. Miss Alice Harwood of Orange addressed the C.E. society Sunday evening, giving an account of her work at the Biblical Institute in Chicago and her anticipated work in Japan, whither she goes as a missionary from the Congregational Church missionary board. She sailed on the 26th of this month. Wednesday evening a meeting was held to make arrangements for a class in vocal culture under the instruction of Mr. Paltridge of Los Angeles, under the auspices of the Y. P. S. C. E. Next Monday evening the people of the Park and vicinity are to have a rare treat in listening to Rev. Collins of the Third Congregational Church of Los Angeles, at Whitaker's Hall. His readings will be of a humorous character, representing the dialects of various nations—interesting, amusing and instructive. All for the small sum of ten cents. Ice cream and cake will be served to those who wish it. N. Leiman is erecting a fine house on Canadian avenue. Mrs. Ella Foster of Chicago leaves to-day for her home. She carries the love and regrets of many friends whose acquaintance she has made in our little burg. There were over one hundred and fifty at the "tea meeting" last week. Mrs. Roller is at Santa Monica. There is a great demand for real estate in this vicinity and many purchasers. Mr. and Mrs. Tolbrom and soft will sail for Norway soon. BUENA Roll of Honor. The following pupils of Peralta school, having obtained in scholarship and department the per cent set opposite their names, are deserving of special credit for the month ending September 11, 1891: John Kirby.....97 Zolla Peralta.....91 Feliz Marquez.....91 Alice Kirby.....95 Henry Wuiff.....91 Dorinda Dominguez.....90 Adela Peralta.....93 Helena Aguilar.....90 B. F. Wulfr, teacher, The County road between here and Santa Ana is in a perfectly beautiful condition. Come, Messrs. Supervisors, give us a better thoroughfare for the principal road in the county. The road should be graded before the rains set in. In its present condition it is a disgrace to the county. Our friends at Santa Ana ought to be satisfied now. Their city high school has adopted the State course. That is perfectly proper. No one outside of Santa Ana will be found to object to that. That is what Santa Ana should have done in the first place, instead of subjecting the county to an expense of $1,500 for an unnecessary election. We hope our readers will not imagine we were trying to boom a small sunflower in Henry Kuapke's resort when we mentioned last week that it was seventeen inches in circumference. Of course we meant diameter, which makes quite a difference. The flower was raised by Ernest Stein, and was quite a beauty. It was of the Jumbo variety, and its stalk was large enough to be cut into cord wood. Letters for the following persons remain uncalled for at the Postoffice September 16: W. E. Bernard, Tiburocio Campo, George S. Foster, O.G. Carpenter, G.L. Dewey, E.P. Fowler, S. Gaines, Mrs. Grumliish, C. L. Hansom (2), Mrs. John Backman, Mrs. T. A. Shedden, Jesus Saldo, Mrs. R. Sewfor, E.F. S. Titscomb, J.S. Weber, Thomas F. Williams and W.F. Winters. The Westminster Tribune says: "It is a well-known fact that three or four Santa Ana business men are fighting the Santa Ana and Westminster railroad, and are probably putting up money and doing everything possible to keep up the fight against the road. Our citizens should ascertain who they are, and withdraw their patronage from those firms." That's just the way to treat them. Trade in Anaheim.

Yesterday Horticultural Commissioners Parry and Hamilton were summoned to Garden Grove to look into some orange trees on the Gates place that were said to be infested with white scale, the first ever reported in this county. They proceeded to the orchard and found the white scale on live orange trees. The trees were in Mr. Gates' front yard and besides having the white scale, had several other specimens. The trees were cut down and destroyed. This is the first white scale ever seen in this county, and the thorough manner of the extermination reflects credit upon the Commissioners. It should be said that Mr. Gates was most anxious to have the trees destroyed. A cream of tartar baking powder.
