HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK A Bid for $300,000 of Our Irrigation Bonds. The Board Decide to Sell That Amount at 98—A Check for 95,400 in Bank as a Guarantee—Prof. Craw Addresses the Horticulturists—The New Med Scale Parasites Doing Well—Social News and Personals. The Board of Directors of the irrigation district met in regular session on Tuesday morning, the full board present. Many citizens were present to see what the board would do in the matter of the sale of bonds. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. Reports of officers were received and filed. The Treasurer reported a balance of $7,424 55 on hand in bank in favor of the district. Communications were received from various parties asking for an option on the bonds, one for thirty days and another for six months. A communication was received from Mr. Roy of El Paso, Texas, asking that the sale of bonds be postponed until he could get here and examine the district. Mr. Roy desired to do the work of the district and take his pay in bonds. Other communications received since last meeting were read and filed. The following bills were audited and ordered paid: Wilson & Lamme, attorneys' fees.....$160 00 B. V. Garwood, salary, etc....33 52 P. A. Korn, salary.....44 20 B. P. Porter, salary.....45 00 Wen Fowler, salary.....41 00 F. G. Ryan, salary.....29 20 Gee Staltegger, salary.....41 00 W. A.

Back, rent.....8 00 Total.....$425 82 At 11 o'clock, the time having arrived for the opening of bids for the purchase of the bonds, the Secretary read the following: OFFICE OF THE UNIVERSITY BANK LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 6, 1892. To the Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District—GENTLEMAN: If you will agree to pay for the examination of your district by an engineer and attorney, to be designated by ourselves or parties we must confirm it to cost not exceeding $1800, and if their report is favorable, we will getting to play very well, and should be accorded liberal support by the people. The excellence of the programme will doubtless be the means of packing the house. Probably the concert will conclude with a social hop, the music to be furnished by the band. THE HORTICULTURISTS PROF. CRAW ADDRESSES THEM AT ORANGE—THE NEW RED SCALE PARASITE DOING WELL. A large number of horticulturists met at the Baptist Church at Orange on Thursday afternoon last in response to the announcement that Profs. Koebele and Craw of the State Board of Horticulture would be present and deliver addresses upon the newly imported orcis chalybeus, or parasite for red scale, together with kindred subjects of interest to the horticulturists of this section. Prof. Koebele, as is well known, is the discoverer of the redia cardinalis, which has done the country yeoman service in ridding it of the white scale. He has lately returned from the Australian colonies, whither he went in search of a parasite for the red scale. He was successful in discovering a parasite for this dreaded pest, and is of the opinion that the orcis will prove to the red what the redia was to the white scale. To have heard this distinguished entomologist would indeed have been a privilege, but on arrival at Orange it was ascertained that owing to a sudden attack of illness the Professor had been detained in Los Angeles and would not be present. His place was ably filled, however, by Prof. Craw, who is himself second only to Prof. Koebele in the matter of developing scale parasites. Hiram Hamilton opened the meeting, referring to the absence of Prof. Koebele as unfortunate. Mr. Hamilton had sent one hundred specimens of the orcis chalybeus by Prof. Koebele for propagation in Orange county. He had placed them in his orchard at Orange and had that morning visited them in company with Prof. Craw. They were found to be doing well and promise the best of results. They had been placed upon his trees some weeks ago. Two days after placing them in a scale infested orange tree in the middle of his orchard he had gone to look at them, and had been able to find only five; six days later he could not find any, but he found a nest in the tree of nine eggs, which he took home, and last Sunday a week ago they had hatched out nine beautiful little cubs. In company with Prof. Craw on Thursday he had discovered many bugs, beetles and eggs in the tree, and was satisfied the parasites had come to stay. They had not made any appreciable input into the ranks of the scale, but Prof. Craw was of the opinion that they would in three or four months. Two onlers, amused from H. Griffith, and the account of the city and will be accepted At 11 o'clock, the time having arrived for the opening of bids for the purchase of the bonds, the Secretary read the following: OFFICIER OF THE UNIVERSITY BANK Los ANGELES, Col., Sept. 5, 1892 To the Directors of the Anaheim Irrigation District—GENTLEMAN: If you will agree to pay for the examination of your district by an engineer and attorney, to be designated by ourselves or parties we represent, said examination to cost not exceeding $300, and if their report is favorable, we will take $300,000 for delivery in London at your expense and the sum of $2,600 paid as a commission. Examination by engineer will be ordered immediately on acceptance of bid, and the whole matter can probably be closed up within sixty days. Enclosed find certified check for $40. Yours truly, GEO. L. ARNOLD. Col. A. H. Neidig, representing the University Bank, stated that the certified check for $540 was a mistake. It should have been $5,400, and with the permission of the board he made the change. He also lowered the amount of commission to be paid to $2,000. The following bid was also read: Los ANGELES, Sept. 5, 1892 P. A. Korn, President Anaheim Irrigation District—DRAK SIN: I am advised by London parties that they will take $300,000 of the bonds of your district. Principal and interest payable in London. Brief report and report of insurance experts are satisfactory to their companies as payment of August 5th last. On this basis I make the following bid for D. Barclay, London, England, whom the acceptance of report of insurance companies will pay you 90 cents of the par value of sold bonds and $1,600. The fees for my services in negotiating the sale of the $300,000 bonds shall be $2,500, payable when the business is closed. You're truly, H.C. SIGLER. The following protest against the acceptance of either proposition was read: ANAHEIM, Sept. 6, 1892 To the Board of Directors of Anaheim Irrigation District—the undersecretary in our district—and his formal protest against selling any or whose of the bonds of said district under the offer of Geo. L. Arnold or H. C. Sigler, which offers were received by said Board of Directors on this day. And for cause of protest against the acceptance of the bid or offer of the said Geo. L. Arnold hereinbefore referred to be awarded. First—that said bid is not made in good faith, insufficient as it is accompanied by a condition not proper in a bid of that kind, and which practically makes the acceptance of the bonds entirely optional with the bidder. Second—That said bid is not accompanied by a certified check in the amount of two per cent of the amount used for in accordance with terms and conditions imposed upon bidders by the board in their advertisement calls for aid as required by said board. When we protestant demands of the said board that it reject both said bids for the reason herein stated, and asks that this formal protest be heard upon the minutes of this board. E.P. FOWLER. By his attorney, Richard Melrose. The board decided that the protest had been submitted out of order, and consequently refused to pay any attention to it. Another petition against the sale of the bonds had been filed with the Secretary, signed by upwards of one hundred names, but this was not called up for consideration. The following resolution was then introduced by Director Porter: Resolved: That the University Bank be permitted to submit all bids presented to this board for the purchase of $300,000 of the bonds of this board as now presented, and when so amended said bid be accepted. The resolution was seconded by Director Stadtegger, and was carried by the following vote: Ayes—Directors Porter, Stadtegger and Korn. Noes—Directors Ryan and Crowther. Of results. They had been placed upon his trees some weeks ago. Two days after placing them in a scale infeated orange tree in the middle of his orchard he had gone to look at them, and had been able to find only five; six days later he could not find any, but he found a nest in the tree of nine eggs, which he took home, and last Sunday a week ago they had hatched out nine beautiful little owls. In company with Prof. Craw on Thursday he had discovered many bugs, beetles and eggs in the tree, and was satisfied the parasites had come to stay. They had not made any appreciable invasion into the ranks of the scale, but Prof. Craw was of the opinion that they would in three or four months. Prof. Craw was introduced and explained the absence of his collaborator. Prof. Koebole had telephoned him that it was impossible for him to come, as he had been taken with a sudden attack of illness just before starting from Los Angeles. Prof. Craw said that he had visited the orcus in Hamilton's orchard and had found them doing well. He was convinced that the parasite would be a perfect success. He had seen the parasites in Los Angeles the day before and had found great many of them, including eggs and beetles. He thought there would be an abundance of them next May, when they would be scattered broadcast throughout the orange groves of the valley. In Australia a beetle preys upon the orcus, yet the latter exterminate from fifty to seventy-five per cent of the red scale. We have introduced the parasites, but not the beetle, and consequently they ought to exterminate the scale. The orcus does not propagate as rapidly as the redalia. That is hardly to be expected. There is no evidence in entomological history of another visitation such as the edalia had been to the white scale, millions of which had fallen prey to the hardy parasite. The orcus thrives best in shady trees, full of foliage, and once established will do yeoman service against the scale. The parasites now in the Hamilton orchard are doing well, and he thought by next April or May there would be enough of them to distribute throughout the orchards of the county. In reply to a question whether Prof. Koebole could not be induced to come here, Prof. Craw stated that that would be impossible, as he had an appointment next day for the San Gabriel valley and would go after that to Santa Barbara, whence he would depart for North. Prof. Koebole stated when he left Australia that he would not return until he had found a parasite for the red scale. Prof. Craw was satisfied that he had been successful in his search. The red scale here is the same as that found in Australia. It had been imported into the country from Australia, and taken from San Francisco to L.J.Rose's Sunny Slope ranch, where it spread all over Southern California. The San Gabriel yellow scale, however, is different from thered. That had come from Japan. But the orcus would be equally deadly to both varieties. He had colonies of the parasites established in Los Angeles and San Gabriel, and both were doing well. He had recently found eleven nests of the parasites and was convinced they would prove an entire success. Prof. Craw said that no cessation in the warfare against the scale should be permitted and that all means should be employed to eradicate the pest by fumigation. Scale on fruit cannot be effectually killed by spraying, but spraying with the rosin wash would kill probably 95 per cent of the posts on the foliage. A gentleman asked if the black scale did not prey upon the red, and in reply Prof. Craw occasioned some laughter by stating Los Angeles, as lined hose is on a line for prices on additional fire hydrants. Two orders are received from H.M.Griffith and the account of the city and will be accepted by those attached prior to this. The Clerk was unable to mute pipe on a wall because it extended beyond Clementina Hillsana street or New meeting. Frank Gates applied regarding to take corner of Broadway claimed that his property by reason of no needed, and wanted permission to cut road at that point providing her rooftop and leave the street journed.

He is attracted atmosphere and finds ways return to this best climate in this Another petition against the sale of the bonds had been filed with the Secretary, signed by upwards of one hundred names, but this was not called up for consideration. The following resolution was then introduced by Director Porter: Resolved, That the University Bank be permitted to amend its bid this day presented to this board for the purchase of $300,000 of the bonds of this district in accordance with the suggestion of the attorney of this board, presented, and when so amended said bid be accepted. The resolution was seconded by Director Stadtegger, and was carried by the following vote: Ayes—Directors Porter, Stadtegger and Korn. Noes—Directors Ryan and Crowther. The board decided that when it adjourns it be to next Tuesday, September 15. The petition from residents of Director Porter's prescient asking him to resign his office was read and filed no action taken. The board then gave its attention to equalization work and later adjourned. The latter part of the afternoon was enlivened by a lively discussion between Director Spencer of the water board and Secretary Garwood as to the reason for not calling up the citizens' protest against the sale of bonds. Mr. Des Granges' Ideas. Mr. Editor.—Mr. Strain's able article on the sale of bonds in last week's Gazette leaves only the question:—Is it prudent to mortgage the district at the rate of $20 an acre (sandwash and all) for the chance of getting a few inches more for irrigation, considering that the chance depends more on our winter's rainfall than on all the contemplated though favorably reported on improvements our eminent Engineers could devise and execute even at the cost of hundreds of thousands! For that much money we could bore an artesian well for every 20-acre lot and be sure of no waste in construction money, and a reliable addition to our water supply. O. Des Granges. September 5th, 1892. —The band boys are talking of giving a concert in the near future, and from an interview had with Edmund Sherwood; who plays the trombone so artistically, we are certain that the programme will be one of a high order of merit. The band will play several numbers, and there will be a trombone solo by Mr. Sherwood and possibly other solos by members of the band. There will also be several fine vocal selections, and a number for the piano. The concert will be by local talent entirely, and will be high class throughout. The boys ought to be greeted with a packed house. They are He had colonies of the parasites established in Los Angeles and San Gabriel, and both were doing well. He had recently found eleven nests of the parasites and was convinced they would prove an entire success. Prof. Craw said that no cessation in the warfare against the scale should be permitted and that all means should be employed to eradicate the pest by fumigation. Scale on fruit cannot be effectually killed by spraying, but spraying with the rosin wash would kill probably 95 per cent of the pests on the foliage. A gentleman asked if the black scale did not prey upon the red, and in reply Prof. Craw occasioned some laughter by stating that he had found that the black and red scale got along very well together. He considered the red scale the most deadly of all scales, because there was as yet no parasite to subdue them. Yet the orcus would be here in great quantities in the spring, when they would be distributed among the orchardists to begin their work of scale destruction. The red scale is not a peat in Australia. The parasite holds it in check. They are making a great success of raising oranges in Australia. Perhaps by next April or May the orcus would be introduced into every orchard in this county. After Prof. Craw's discourse a discussion was entered into as to the best methods of eradicating scale by artificial means. The consensus of opinion was that fumigation was the only practicable remedy, although a few preferred spraying. Mr. Lefeldt of Orange said that he had had a fumigating outfit, but that he had become convinced there was nothing in fumigating and had destroyed the outfit. He had since sprayed his trees and had not a single scale in his orchard. It was admitted that his orchard was one of the finest in the county. John Scott of Duarte, horticultural commissioner of Los Angeles county, referred to his recent visit to Anaheim, saying that the results of fumigation obtained here proved conclusively that that method was the best and cheapest manner of eradicating the scale. He was preparing to fumigate the entire Dwarfe section. Joel Parker testified that he had tried spraying and fumigating and had become convinced that there was nothing in spraying. One might kill the young scale by spraying, but one could never reach the big follows. He had fumigated his orchard with Powers & Wightman's cyanide, and there was not a live scale left. Mr. Snow of Tustin had sprayed for three years. He was of the opinion that spraying was no good. Mr. Rafferty also gave evidence in favor of fumigating. Prof. Pierce, the vine expert, was present and was called upon to speak upon the vine disease. The Professor said that it is his belief that the disease is disappearing and that vines set out from healthy cuttings throughout the county are prospering. Vines set out from diseased cuttings are diseased. The old vines are rapidly dying out from the disease. From a general review of the situation he thought it would be advisable to plant vines the coming season, always from healthy cuttings. Care should be taken to get none but healthy cuttings from localities where the disease had not appeared, as the disease is carried in the cuttings. The Professor was satisfied that-the disease is running out. Two years ago he believed all vines infested with the disease would be swept away. Now he finds many of them growing. Prof. Craw said it was not good policy to import cuttings from the northern part of this State, as they had the phylloxera there and there would be danger of introducing the disease here with the cuttings. Prof. Pierce said that no cuttings should be imported from Sonoma, Napa or the other infested counties of the North. The best muscat vines east of Fresno have not shown any traces of disease and healthy cuttings might be imported from that point. CITY TRUSTEES PROCEEDINGS OF THE REGULAR MEETING TUESDAY EVENING. The Board of Trustees met in regular session on Tuesday evening. Present, Trustees Witte, Littlefield, Pellegrin and Schudler. The Public Improvement Committee reported progress on street work. All chuckholes will be filled with gravel. The special committee on procuring boiler in Los Angeles were granted further time.

He stated that Chief Krebs had received a letter from Chief Moore of Los Angeles, saying that cotton rubber-lined hose is the best. The city decided to ask for prices on that quality for use here. The Clerk was instructed to purchase five additional fire hydrants. The Clerk received a writ of attachment from J. M. Griffith against Contractor Albrecht up monies due him from the city, which was read and filed. It was ordered that the New City Hall building be accepted as per recommendation of the Scopus attendant. Two officers, amounting to $1,087 50, were received from H. Albrecht in favor of J. M. Griffith, and the same to be charged to the account of the city, payable on Oct. 1, 1892, and will be accepted by the city on condition and was called upon to speak upon the vine disease.

Whitaker and family have returned from Anaheim Landing, where they have been camping for the month of August. Mr. Martin of Fresno is here in search of land. He is attracted by our delightfully cool atmosphere and fine weather. Visitors always return to this place and say it is the best climate in the State. Santa Ana comes to the front with another murder. Monday afternoon two Mexicans, Juan Ruiz and Jesus Molino, who it seems had been too promiscuous in his attentions to Ruiz's wife, met deadly affray not a block from the Sheriff's office. Ruiz was killed by a knife thrust in his temple, and Molino was shot twice and is dangerously wounded. Ruiz fell in his tracks, and was later carried to his dwelling, where he shortly expired. Molino, though very badly wounded, started to walk away. Sheriff Lacy was promptly on the scene and arrested him. On examination of his wounds the opinion was given that there is small hope of his recovery. Ruiz was rather slight in build but Molino is a large nowful orchard cultivator at the Bottaford reach. All orchardists are invited to be present. The thanks of the editorial household are due to Mr.Littlefield for a basket of luscious peaches, and to Ralph Hunter for a splendid forty-pound watermelon.

Billey Rea has discontinued business at Santa Ana and has been in town during the week looking for a location. He will remain with us permanently and will probably open up a business plaza here shortly. Ben Kraemer was in town one day last week and informs us that in his opinion we are on the eve of a great boom. Ben has one of the finest ranches in the country, and makes bold to say that we live in the loveliest spot on the footstoln. Kolesey & Adams report a good business at their horse market. They have already sold a number of good horses to parties living hereabout and have several sales in contemplation. Persons desiring to buy horses cheap should give them a call. Col.

Julius Schneider, Henry Oelkers, Chris Stallwachter and a party of friends accompany the turners on their recent excursion to San Diego and returned home on Tuesday evening. Prof. Grogan and family arrived in town on Friday to remain, and will take up their residence with us permanently. The Professor's many friends are glad to see him back again. Attorney Melrose left yesterday for Benicia, word having been received that his brother was lying seriously ill at his residence in that city. He will probably be absent until next Tuesday or Wednesday.

George is making a rattling canvass for Sheriff, and if nominated will make it lively for his opponents on election day. Joel Parker was over from Orange one day last week and dropped in to see us. Joel is an orchardist of progressive ideas, a staunch believer in fumigation and has one of the finest orange orchards in Southern California. He has cast his lot with the Populists this campaign, but we doubt if he will vote the ticket straight. Supervisor Yoch of Santa Ana was in town on Monday afternoon. Mr.Yoch's Santa Ana comes to the front with another murder. Monday afternoon two Mexicans, Juan Ruiz and Jesus Molino, who it seems had been too promiscuous in his attentions to Ruiz's wife, met in deadly affray not a block from the Sheriff's office. Ruiz was killed by a knife threat in his temple, and Molino was shot twice and is dangerously wounded. Ruiz fell in his tracks, and was later carried to his dwelling, where he shortly expired. Molino, though very badly wounded, started to walk away. Sheriff Lacy was promptly on the scene and arrested him. On examination of his wounds the opinion was given that there is small hope of his recovery. Ruiz was rather slight of build, but Molino is a large powerful man.
