The rain which came last week so opportunely has had the effect of quieting, let us hope for the rest of the season, the croakings of the dry-weather prophets. Old-time weather sharps tell us there is more than a reasonable probability of good rains at or about the full moon of each month during the early months of the coming year, and that the moisture will be sufficient to produce cereal crops in abundance. Moreover, they have ground for the belief that a plentiful precipitation will be the portion of the horticultural, and that crops will be better than for years past. Let us hope their reckonings may prove true. The weather since the rain of Saturday and Sunday has been ideal for growing crops. The slight wind of Tuesday did no damage; in fact, the two winds we have had this season have resulted in no harm. The rains have been absorbed eagerly by the ground, and more plowing and seeding operations are under way than probably at any time in the history of this section. More new ground is being broken, and a wider area of hay and grain is being put under cultivation than ever, and on all sides a feeling of confidence prevails relative to the ultimate outcome of the season. The creeks are running with water, grass begins to add the beauty of its verdure to the landscape, and a trip across fields will well repay those who as yet have little idea of the wide area being plowed and seeded to crops. What with the normal amount of rainfall to follow in January, February and March, we ought, at this happy Christmas time, to look forward, with reasonable prospects of attaining that desire, to the best season we have enjoyed since the organization of the county. Let us hope that the period of two years of drought is past, and that an abundant harvest will wait upon the tiller of the soil. domain will be greatly advanced by a comprehensive compilation of facts relating to its irrigation such as contemplated by the twelfth census. So many important and novel subjects have occupied the attention of the country during the last two years that it has hardly given the credit due for the splendid achievement in settling the government debts of the Pacific railroads. A brief passage in the President's message summarizes the matter. The Pacific railroads owed the government $130,000,000, nearly half of which was accrued interest, and at a comparatively high rate. Of this immense amount the roads have paid over $124,000,000. Substantially the whole debt has been met, and at a time when there was a heavy war drain upon the treasury. The Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, the main trunk lines, paid every cent due, principal and interest. The small loss was on a subordinate line. This business was carried through under a commission authorized by a Republican Congress, and composed of three members of President McKinley's Cabinet. There was a period, and it extended through many years, when a general opinion prevailed that the government would lose the most of the money advanced to the Pacific railroads, and that some sort of compromise, saving only a part, would be necessary. Various measures, involving a heavy sacrifice, were brought forward from time to time. But the present administration, seizing an opportunity in a masterly way, secured in cash nearly all that was due, including the great accumulation of interest. It was once the fashion to argue that the indirect benefits of the Pacific roads would compensate the country for an enormous direct loss. But the problem was not handled in that way. The nation has all the benefits and also the money it advanced. Turners' Entertainment. The Turners will give a Christmas tree and entertainment at their hall on New Year's eve, Dec. 31st. An interesting program has been provided for, which will consist of musical selections, singing by the singing section and gymnastic exercises by the junior class domain will be greatly advanced by a comprehensive compilation of facts relating to its irrigation such as contemplated by the twelfth census. CRAW ON INSECT PESTS. How the Interests of the California Horticulturist Are Protected from Foreign Pests. Alexander Craw, State Quarantine officer, who was in Anaheim at the recent meeting of the Pomological society, referred at some length to danger attendant upon the importance of nursery stock from States where infectious tree diseases are known exist. Mr. Craw at last week's meeting of the State Fruit Growers' association at San Jose read a paper upon matter, which has excited great interest throughout the horticultural tricts of the State. We have received a copy of the address, which we sent herewith for the information of readers: It is not necessary to enumerate destructive insect pests that have affected orchards and perplexed orchardists of California, but it is generally known that nearly if not of them are introduced species. Than three decades ago the orchards and gardens of the State were very from insect pests; such an apparatus a spray pump was almost unknown; a fumigating outfit had never heard of. The Spanish padres saw possibilities of our soil and climate; fruit culture; and experimented small way on lands adjoining theirSION buildings. Their young plants were nearly all raised from and were protected from rooftops of cattle by hedges of opuntia species of tall-growing cactus with spiny leaves, bearing edible fruits known as prickly pears, which much relished by the Indians of southern counties. Some of these sions had more pretentious barriers for the protection of their trees vines in well-built adobe walls. Orchards were thrifty and clean; of the more enterprising pioneers came to California before the "Gold" planted trees as a business station, and these, like the moths were nearly all seedling propagated from mission trees. With the change of government,the rapid increase of population through the discovery of gold,a home market was created and on planting made rapid strides. ON Christmas eve, 1899 years ago, in the far off little city of Bethlehem, in Judea, was born the Christ. For hundreds of years the prophets had foretold the coming of the Messiah. Between seven and eight hundred years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah wrote of the time when a child should be born of the house of David whose coming would usher in a time of universal peace and happiness; he would be the very Son of God, born of a virgin, "and his name would be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace." But he was expected to be born to sit upon an earthly throne, and his coming was entirely unnoticed by the world at large; only to some lonely shepherds keeping watch over their flocks by night did the angel appear singing "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and good will toward men," and saying, "Fear not, for I bring you tidings of great joy; unto you is born this day a Savior which is Christ the Lord." For many years after the crucifixion all the Christian observances had to be in secret, and it was not till the reign of Constantine the Great, the first Christian Emperor of Rome, three hundred years after Christ, that it was possible to celebrate the anniversary of the birth of Christ publicly. All of the delightful customs and traditions of Christmas and Santa Claus are but the embodiment of the Christ-like giving, and we give gifts on this day in memory of what was so freely given to us. CENSUS INVESTIGATION OF IRRGATION. A SPECIAL effort will be made by the Division of Agriculture of the twelfth census of the United States to collect and tabulate important data relating to irrigation in the arid and semi-humid regions of the United States. A preliminary schedule has been prepared and will soon be sent out to obtain the names of corporations and individuals owning canals or ditches. This is one of the essential steps for securing desired information regarding the extent and value of the canals and ditches used for irrigation, and their sources of water supply. In the preliminary schedule a request is made for the names of the principal canals or ditches in their order down stream, the ditches to the right (looking down stream) being arranged on the first page of the list, and those heading to the left on the last with water, grass begins to add the beauty of its verdure to the landscape, and a trip across fields will well repay those who as yet have little idea of the wide area being plowed and seeded to crops. What with the normal amount of rainfall to follow in January, February and March, we ought, at this happy Christmas time, to look forward, with reasonable prospects of attaining that desire, to the best season we have enjoyed since the organization of the county. Let us hope that the period of two years of drought is past, and that an abundant harvest will wait upon the tiller of the soil. Turners' Entertainment. The Turners will give a Christmas tree and entertainment at their hall on New Year's eve, Dec. 31st. An interesting program has been provided for, which will consist of musical selections, singing by the singing section and gymnastic exercises by the junior class of Turners; and, not to say the least, Santa Claus has made his announcement and says that he will be there to distribute presents among the little folks. A committee will be in charge of the presents, and any one wishing to surprise or gladden the heart of a friend with a present is requested to leave same at Joseph Backs' store or at Turner hall. The entertainment will conclude with a social hop. A Santa Ana orchestra will furnish music for the occasion. Admission, 50 cents; Turners free. Grocer Mercereau made a trip to Los Angeles yesterday, and invested in a new show case. He is displaying a fine line of groceries and has a well-stocked establishment. Elmer M. Ball, aged 22, a native of Illinois, and a resident of this city, was on Tuesday in Los Angeles granted a license to wed Minnie C. Blair, aged 19, a native of Illinois, and a resident of that State.

Don't forget the time and place and don't forget to come. J. W. Whann left yesterday for Los Angeles, where he takes charge of the Lutz company's new implement house. After a residence here of two years, he leaves with regret, which is shared in by his many friends. Mrs. Whann leaves for the city this (Thursday) morning. The remains of Mary Augusti Hunter, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. Hunter of Florence, who died at that place on Tuesday, were brought to Anaheim on yesterday afternoon's 2:50 Santa Fe train for interment in the family burial lot here. Death was caused by bronchitis. The interment was conducted by Under-taker Ferd. Backs, and members of the family followed the remains to their last resting place. Rev. Stone conducted the burial services at the cemetery. Weather Report. U.S. Department of Agriculture, California Section, Climate and Crop Service, Weather Bureau, Dec. 18. General summary—Nearly normal temperatures prevailed during the week, and frosts occurred in most sections, though too light to cause damage. In the central and northern portions of the State and in some parts of the San Joaquin valley rain has fallen nearly every day, greatly retarding the work of plowing and seeding; in some sections seeding of summer-fallowed ground has been abandoned, owing to the heavy rainfall. Southern California and the southern portion of the San Joaquin valley have been greatly fashioned to argue that the indirect benefits of the Pacific roads would compensate the country for an enormous direct loss. But the problem was not handled in that way. The nation has all the benefits also the money it advanced. Turners' Entertainment.

Request is also made for the name and postoffice address of some person who can give detailed information concerning each ditch. The principal schedule now in course of preparation will be mailed to the addresses thus obtained, calling for further data, which will be supplemented by detailed statistics gathered by the census enumerators. It should be noted by all interested in the subject that these various inquiries of the census office in no way conflict with, or duplicate the work, with reference to irrigation, which is being conducted by any other Department of State. The most nearly related inquiry is that of the geological survey, which, like that of the census, is under the more immediate direction of F. H. Newell, the special agent for irrigation in the eleventh census, and hydrographer of the geological survey. The fact that Mr. Newell has supervision of this work in the twelfth census guarantees its efficiency and its value to the aid and semi-humid regions. It will be readily apparent that the volume and value of these statistics will depend very largely upon the attention and interest shown therein by those engaged in irrigation, and it is earnestly hoped that all to whom the schedules are addressed will appreciate the importance of the request and make prompt and careful reply. In this way only will it be possible to make the information concerning irrigation full and complete. In order to obtain a full understanding and an intelligent appreciation of the possible development of the arid and semi-humid regions of the West, a general knowledge of the progress actually made is of vital importance. An accurate census of irrigation will impart such general knowledge, and will be of great benefit to all those concerned in redeeming arid lands. The future development of this vast portion of our General summary.—Nearly normal temperatures prevailed during the week, and frosts occurred in most sections, though too light to cause damage. In the central and northern portions of the State and in some parts of the San Joaquin valley rain has fallen nearly every day, greatly retarding the work of plowing and seeding; in some sections seeding of summer-fallowed ground has been abandoned, owing to the heavy rainfall. Southern California and the southern portion of the San Joaquin valley have been greatly benefited by rains during the week, and in those sections plowing and seeding are progressing favorably. Early sown grain is growing rapidly and is in excellent condition. Prospects continue good for increased acreage of grain, and for larger crops than last season. Pasturage is abundant in all sections, and the heavy rains in the foothills, and snow in the mountain regions, insure a plentiful supply of feed for stock for the coming season. Oranges are ripening rapidly in the extreme south, but picking proceeds slowly, and will not be general until after the holidays. Pickled olives are being shipped in considerable quantities from Butte county, where they yield was greatly in excess of last season's. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. All growing crops were materially benefited by the rain of the 16th and 17th, and the soil is now in good condition for continued plowing and seeding. Early sown grain is looking well. Pasturage is good. Oranges are coloring rapidly in the vicinity of San Diego, but picking has not commenced except in a few orchards. Vegetables are doing well. Frosts were frequent during the week, but no damage was reported. Eureka summary.—Fruit is in advanced stage by reason of unusually high temperature. Many potatoes are not harvested and ground remains too wet for plowing. Los Angeles summary.—Cool, dry weather till 16th, when general rain fell, which will keep grass growing; it came in time to save early sown grain. Frosts were quite frequent, but no damage reported.

One of the most amusing lies in my work was upon the arrival an old Scotch lady, who had been Scotland on a visit and came away way of the Northern Pacific steamer from the Sound. We came down the gang planked steamer I noticed something about her plants. She was delightful they should so soon attract a upon their arrival and began plain to me how much care bestowed on them on the long across the Atlantic and the American continent.

The Interests of the California Horizontalist Are Protected from Foreign Pests. Rander Craw, State Quarantine who was in Anaheim at the re- meeting of the Pomological soci- eferred at some length to the attendant upon the importation of nursery stock from States where in- trees diseases are known to Mr. Craw at last week's meet- at San Jose read a paper upon the war, which has excited great in- throughout the horticultural dis- of the State. We have received by the address, which we pre- berewith for the information of our sars: Is not necessary to enumerate the infective insect pests that have dam- the orchards and perplexed the orchidists of California, but it is not really known that nearly if not all them are introduced species. Less than three decades ago the orcharders of the State were very free insect pests; such an apparatus as may pump almost unknown, and migrating outfit had never been used of. The Spanish padres saw the abilities of our soil and climate for culture, and experimented in a way on lands adjoining their mis- buildings. Their young planta- were nearly all raised from seed, were protected from the roaming cattle of cattle by hedges of opuntia, a series of tall-growing cactus with flat leaves, bearing edible fruit, grown as prickly pears, which were relished by the Indians of the northern counties. Some of the mis- had more pretentious barricades the protection of their trees and in well-built adobe walls. These gardens were thrifty and clean. Some more enterprising pioneers who came to California before the "days of" planted trees as a business prop- enance, and these, like the mission sars, were nearly all seedlings or propagated from the mission trees. With the change of government and rapid increase of population, through the discovery of gold, a good market was created and orchard planting made rapid strides. island continent that were attacked by a skin fungus were also disposed of. THE FLYING FOX. A pest of a more conspicuous nature came from the same country. This was a flying fox. It measured 14 inches, and had a wing spread of 3 feet, 2 inches, and belonging to the fruit-eat- ing bats. When it arrived it was enjoy-ing a breakfast of ripe pears and bananas. In countries where they exist great expense is incurred in protecting soft fruit from their attacks. They live in great colonies during the day time, suspended from the branches of trees, and at night they sally forth, and are known to fly for over twenty miles in quest of fruit. That flying fox and four others that afterward came from China were treated with sufficient chloroform to stop all further desire on their part for such toothsome food as ripe fruit. The owners, of course, tried to prevent such summary disposal of their bats. WHAT JAPAN HAS DONE. Japan, like Australia, has furnished us with several pests that have caused orchardists to expend large sums of money in keeping their trees in a healthy condition. Besides the citrus "snow scale" (Chionaspis citri) a very serious small white armored scale (Diaspis amygdalf) is altogether too frequently found upon trees and plants from that country. This is a pest we can take no chances with, owing to the fact that the best-known tree washes of treble strength will only kill 7 per cent of them. Orchardists will understand that very few fruit trees will stand such a strength, and the result of such an application is almost as destructive to the trees as the scale We have found this scale upon the following trees and plants, which were destroyed. I will give the names of the trees in the order, as to the extent, in which we have found them to be infested: Cherry, plum, peach, persimmon, tea bushes and walnut, besides "sago palms" (Cyces revoluta), and a variety of other ornamental plants. The Japanese are experts in the manufacture of artificial cherry blossoms, and to add to the deception they use fresh cherry twigs, upon which we sometimes find live scale. The only danger, of course, from such imports would be the use of the artificial flowers with decorative plants that could be infested in this way. The legal fight against the importation of 325,000 orange trees from Tahiti that were landed at San Pedro is well known. The "mining scale" (Howardia biclavis) infesting those trees withstood five fumigations with hydrocyanic acid gas; also two treatments by dipping in strong insecticide, and were REALESTATE TRANSFERS For the Week Ending December 18, 1899.

Los Angeles St.,3 doors north of One of the most amusing incidents my work was upon the arrival of Old Scotch lady, who had been to Scotland on a visit and came back by day of the Northern Pacific andreamer from the Sound. When she came down the gang plank of the smoker I noticed something familiar and remarked that I wanted to look at her plants. She was delighted that they should so soon attract attention on their arrival and began to examine me how much care she had rested on them on the long voyage across the Atlantic and the great American continent. They were in lots and one was just then coming into room, so there was no question re-engaged from the mission trees. With the change of government and rapid increase of population, through the discovery of gold, a good market was created and orchard planting made rapid strides. The enterprising Americans determined to have and grow the best fruits,own, so imported trees and plants in other countries, and with them the pests. The natural enemies of the latter were left behind in their five countries or died on the way, so scale bugs and other pests had a field and spread rapidly. Unfortunately for the good name of California some of the pests were first scientifically described and named here, and similar names were given that conduited the impression to outsiders that insects were natives of this State. State Board of Horticulture was dated by an act of the Legislature to after the fruit interests, and the governor was given the power to appoint the members. This board was then authority to make regulations for purpose of preventing the spread of fruit-tree pests, and a subsequent act it the appointment of an officer to send quarantine work. We will briefly give you a list of some of the pests that have been stopped at threshold during the time that the ward has honored me with this appointment. Each of the fruit-growing counties you are aware, has the power,ough its Supervisors, when petitioned, to appoint a County Board of Horticulture that works in conjunction with the State board in preventing the production of infected trees into its districts by rail. Where the county accers have received the support of Supervisors, good work has been done, and the courts have sustained us. Nearly per cent more money has been spent in trying to stamp out pests that are formerly introduced into the state than has been expended in keeping others out, and then we do not compute the enormous damage and loss caused by their presence.

When she came down the gang plank of the ammer I noticed something familiar and remarked that I wanted to look at her plants. She was delighted that they should so soon attract attention upon their arrival and began to examine them to me how much care she had restowed on them on the long voyage across the Atlantic and the great American continent. They were in pits and one was just then coming into room, so there was no question regarding its identity. She was terribly shocked when I informed her that I would have to destroy them. She read that she would keep them in our own garden. We have all the varieties of thistles we want, so she lost her pets and insinuated that I had no interest. The Scotch thistle was introduced into Australia and overran that country. Laws were enacted to have it stamped out, but the thistle is there yet. In referring to the various pests will refrain from giving you the scientific names of each and give you the popular names. If, however, you are in doubt regarding any of them, will be pleased to give it also. WHAT AUSTRALIA HAS CONTRIBUTED. Australia is the land that gave to California, Cape Colony and Portugal the terrible "cottony cushion scale," (Mccerya purchasi.) We are also indebted to it for the destructive "red scale" (aspidiotus aurantii) of the orange. From that country and Samoa same orange trees and fruit infested with small "snow scales" (chionaspis nitri), a species that is reported to have been the cause of the decay of the old orange trees in Louisiana. The trees and fruit that arrive infested with this scale are always destroyed. I will here state that trees and plants infested with pests not existing in the State are destroyed or deported. If the stock is infected with insects already found in California, it is thoroughly fumigated with hydrocyanic acid gas, unless the insects are of a serious nature and not found in the district to which the stock is destined. A long scale (Lecanium longalium), belonging to the same family as the "brown apricot scale" (Lecanium armeniacum), and one like the common black scale, but jet, black and smooth, came from Australia and the Hawaiian Islands. A shipment of apples came from Tasmania, via Australia, that were attacked by a small beetle larvae that burrowed through the pulp under the skin. Two loads of four-foot pine wood were piled about the boxes, over all was poured coal oil, and soon we had quite an apple bake. Oranges from the desire to publicly express the indebtedness of the State Board of Horticulture to the United States Custom Service of San Francisco for their valuable assistance in preventing the landing of any trees, plants or fruit from foreign countries. Nothing can now be smuggled in the baggage or taken ashore during the day or night unless an officer of the Board of Horticulture is present. An amusing incident occurred on board a steamer from the tropics. A member of the crew tried to pass a pineapple and was stopped at the foot of the gangplank by a customs inspector and ordered to take it on board again until it had been examined. He became abused, and said he would take the pineapple ashore, and the inspector could not stop him. He returned to the head of the gangplank, peeled the pineapple and ate it, then triumphantly marched ashore. MORE JAPANESE PESTS. From Japan comes a "white wax scale" belonging to the same genius as the "red wax scale" of India and Honolulu. It also is a very general feeder, as we find it on deciduous trees, citrus trees, camillias, and other ornamental stock. From Japan came a long narrow dark "thread scale" (Ischnaspis filliformes), also a "double scale" (Aspidiotus duplex); the latter attacks orange trees and other plants. Two very near relatives of the so-called "San Jose scale" came from the same country, and it may be that we received the latter scale from Japan in the early seventies, although it is known to exist in Chile. From the land of the Mikado came cherry trees in pots, the young wood of which was completely covered with bluish-gray flies, that produced so much honey-dew that the leaves were sticky and coated with black fungus. They were new to the State, so the trees were destroyed. Before concluding, I desire that fruit growers in the various counties petition their Supervisors to extend to their County Horticultural Commissioner all the aid they can, and in counties where no commissioners have been appointed, to see that good, competent men are immediately selected and appointed to look after importations of trees and plants by rail from east of the Rockies. In so doing, you will protect your own property, and the State Board of Horticulture, through its regulations and the State laws, will extend to you its support. The only prompt and sure remedy for constipation and stomach and bowel troubles which does not weaken and depress, but on the contrary tones and strengthens the system while it is doing its work, is that extraordinary preparation familiarly known as Casca Ferrine Bitters. It is the only tonic laxative known. Q. A Chase to same Strip along lot 1, block C, Gardner & Moye's addition to Santa Ana; $8. H. P.

Herman Schindler, Next to Spoerl's The London of Pepys. It is disappearing fast; it has almost vanished, the London of Pepys; but a few traces of it are still left and should be visited by lovers of the past and readers of the famous "Diary" before they are entirely swept away. Regret can never cease that a threatening of blindness should have forced Pepys to close his manuscript 34 years before his death and that thus it should only depict 11 years of his life for us. Yet, as Mr. Lowell said, "the lightest part of the diary is of value, historically, for it enables one to see the London of 200 years ago, and, what is more, to see it with the eager eyes of Pepys;" while there will be few of its readers who will deny that "there is probably more involuntary humor in Pepys' Diary than in any book extant."—Pall Mall Magazine.
