ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 29, 1901. PUBLIC LIBRARY NOT CITY PROPERTY Consequently no Tax Levy is Made for its Maintenance—How the Matter Will be Adjusted. The Board of City Trustees met in special session on Wednesday evening, August 21st, to fix the tax levy for the fiscal year 1901-02. All the members were present. The following amounts were levied: Bond fund No. 1 ... 24c on $100 " " " 2 ... 10c " " " " " 3 ... 28c " " General fund... 68c " " " Total ... $1,30 This is the same total amount as has been levied for the last three years. The reason that there has been no reduction in the taxation is explained by the fact that when formerly two teams sprinkled and hauled gravel for the streets there are now three. The city has gone to a considerable expense in the past year in lowering the well pit, which was a very expensive item, and yet did not raise the taxes. This year the city will replace the two small old boilers by a new and large one, and again no increase in the taxes will be made on this account. In the matter of a levy for the public library, the fact was developed that as yet the city had no public library. City Attorney Chynoweth stated that until the library now in town was given to the city, or until the city itself started a public library, no tax levy could be made for that purpose. He further stated that the proper proceeding was that when the present library was presented to the city, and accepted, the chairman of the Board of Trustees was authorized by law to appoint five Library Trustees. These appointments will be subject to the approval of the members of the Board of Trustees. were better runners than others. The first one, evidently the leader of the band, gallantly kept ahead, but two others in the rear worked up toward the front as their companions gave way slightly. The gait of each of them was noted by all of us. Intense became our interest as the end of the canyon drew near. Half a mile more—could they stand it? The engineer began to play weird tunes on his whistle. Hair-splitting screams were succeeded by hoarse roars. "On sped the antelope. Now they were running in single file—the last one making desperate efforts to keep up with those in front. Suddenly they all vanished and the next moment we dashed out of the canyon on to an open prairie. "The antelope had won. They scampered away to the left. A vast sigh of relief arose from the passengers, whose sympathy was with the creatures of flesh and blood. The conductor announced that the train had been making fifty-eight miles an hour, and everybody said it was the greatest race on earth." Protective Policy. Former Representative Barham of California has written a long letter to the American Protective Tariff League against any tariff reductions. He says in part: "California practically is unanimous for the present protective policy, as contained in the Dingley tariff. Someone over-anxious to promote or advance personal practical ambition may suggest a modification or recasting of the Dingley tariff. Such excess of ambition will probably rebound so as to 'protect' him in future and remove him from the political horizon altogether. A Republican of ordinary intelligence could not, in my judgment, conscientiously advocate a revision of the present tariff. "It may be thought popular to go to any extent in agitating the question of" "SOLUTION OF THE WALNUT DISEASE" Mr. Gilman Takes Issue With the Conclusions of Judge Cheney. PLACENTIA, CAL., Aug. 24th, 1901. My old friend and neighbor, W. M. McFadden, is one of the finest living examples of the old adage, "none shall blind as those that won't see." For years past he has hooted that idea that any disease afflicted the walnut, notwithstanding its steady and uniform spread from locality to locality, orchard to orchard and tree to tree; until it is now fastened on almost every orchard in the land. But now comes the glad tidings that Judge Cheney ("and he does not claim to be a horticulturist") after giving the disease "an exhaustive (?) investigation," of an hour or two, on some specimens taken to the sea coast, having made the startling discovery that it is a fungus, and coolly proceeds to tell us that it swims up in the sap much as a fish goes up stream. What is the use of educating and training men, and they devoting their lives to study and investigation, along special lines when people who should know better but have never given the subject hardyly an intelligent thought, calmly sweep aside, as rubbish, the result of their years of labor, and assume an understanding of the subject of which their words prove their ignorance? It is like the man who insists that the world is flat. If this bacteria is transmitted by the sap, why does it make its first appearance on the outside of nut and twig in a small speck spreading inwardly to the heart pit? Why does it not penetrate the meat of the nut after the shell hardens, if it comes in the sap? Why does a scratch from a pin that has been inserted in the fungus spur innoculate a perfectly healthy nut or twig while a similar wound from In the matter of a levy for the public library, the fact was developed that as yet the city had no public library. City Attorney Chynoweth stated that until the library now in town was given to the city, or until the city itself started a public library, no tax levy could be made for that purpose. He further stated that the proper proceeding was that when the present library was presented to the city, and accepted, the chairman of the Board of Trustees was authorized by law to appoint five Library Trustees. These appointments will be subject to the approval of the members of the Board of Trustees. The terms of office will be three years, and are divided as follows: Of the first five appointed, one would serve one year, two for two years, and the remaining two for three years. As there will be enough money in the general fund the trustees can transfer a part of this fund for the benefit of the library when its becomes the city's property. ANTELOPES' WONDERFUL RACE Faster Than a Mail Train Running at the Rate of 58 Miles Per Hour. "The most exciting race I ever witnessed was between a herd of antelope and the fast mail for California within the walls of Echo canyon," said E. J. Tuttle of the Union Pacific to a Denver Post reporter the other day. "One clear, cool morning we rounded a rocky curve in the Utah canyon and a verdant gorge was disclosed stretching away for several miles. The vista was delightful. As a group of us were gazing ahead our eyes fell upon a bunch of antelope. "Not far from the track they stood, with erect ears and tense muscles, their bright eyes every fixed upon the approaching train. A green strip of natural meadow lane extended on one side of the rails for a long distance. Their light, fawn-colored bodies were clearly outlined on the emerald carpet. One instant they stood motionless—watching. The next they bounded into flight as swift as flashes of light. Shrilly the engineer had blown his whistle. Exclamations of amazement burst from us all as we saw the speed of the little creatures. Surely, however, they could endure but a few moments and must then fall behind, we thought. "On thundered the overland flyer at high speed. The engineer, noting the animals just ahead, opened his throttle, a bit wider and pierced the air with starling shrieks of the whistle. The echoes reverberated in an astonishing manner. Away sped the slender-legged racers of the canyon, and at each whistle their speed increased. Eagerly we counted them over and over to make sure of their number. There were eleven, running like lightning and not far apart. If the first one had stumbled it seemed as if all would have been piled in a heap. But there was no danger from such sure-footed animals." "Their jumps were tremendous, yet the gait of each was steady and almost mechanical in its regularity. Only says in part. "California practically is unanimous for the present protective policy, as contained in the Dingley tariff. Someone over-anxious to promote or advance personal practical ambition may suggest a modification or recasting of the Dingley tariff. Such excess of ambition will probably rebound so as to 'protect' him in future and remove him from the political horizon altogether. A Republican of ordinary intelligence could not, in my judgment, conscientiously advocate a revision of the present tariff. "It may be thought popular to go to any extent in agitating the question of trusts, and that people can be misled into the belief that trusts can be destroyed by removing the tariff from the output of the trusts. Anyone who so believes is misleading himself. Everyone who has given attention to this question knows perfectly well that trusts do not come from or grow out of the protective-tariff system. The people are quite well informed upon the subject, and he who thinks differently will find himself where he ought to be, in the dust of the procession of Progress and Prosperity. "Revision of the tariff means loss of confidence. Loss of confidence means closing down industries and preventing unbuilding of new ones, lower wages, poverty, and the capitalist knows this full well. There is no danger of revision. Labor will not tamely submit to be returned to conditions in which it was so recently. Neither will capital be compelled to go out of business by rank demagogy. "It is an assured foot, also, that too much reciprocity will not meet favorable consideration. The numberless reciprocal treaties proposed by Mr. Kasson are clear proof of his entire want of proper information on industrial conditions. Some of his misconstrained ideas would have worked great injury had the senate ratified the proposed treaties. While the doctrine of reciprocity is the true one, yet it must not be misapplied." Accident to Mr. Griffith. John M. Griffith, president of the J. M. Griffith company of Los Angeles, one of the well-known citizens of that city, was the victim of a serious accident at San Bernardino some evenings ago. He had just stepped off the train at the Santa Fe depot. After walking along the platform he started to leave the depot, but in the darkness did not see that he was approaching the end of the platform, where there are no steps. He fell to the ground, a distance of two and a half feet. Instantly he called for help and several passengers and railroad men went to his assistance. When they tried to move him he screamed with pain. He was taken into the waiting-room and physicians summoned. An examination of his injuries showed that he had sustained a fracture of the hip, a serious injury for one of his age. He was made as comfortable as possible, and was later conveyed to Los Angeles. No one saw the accident, and had there been sufficient lights about the depot it would not have happened. Mr. Griffith's family in Los Angeles was notified by wire of the accident. If this bacteria is transmitted by this sap, why does it make its first appearance on the outside of nut and twig in a small speck spreading inwardly to the heart pit? Why does it not penetrate the meat of the nut after the shell hardens, if it comes in the sap? Why does it scratch from a pin that has been inserted in the fungus sporococcus a perfectly healthy nut or twig while a similar wound from a clean implement results in nothing but a harmless search? That "superabundance of moisture on a hard pan substratum" is good almost too good to need an answer. We find the disease on trees that range through the whole gamut of soils on which walnuts are planted from heavy loam to sand thoroughly drained by underlying gravel, where it is an impossibility for any superabundant or almost any other kind of moisture to remain. Also "the so-called winter irrigation" cuts no figure, for it thrives on trees regardless of the quantity, time, manner of application, or for that matter in luxuriates in orchards that never have been, nor can be irrigated, not being under any ditch system. "From the investigations made by Judge Cheney, and hints suggested for a remedy, much good may come to the great industry of walnut growing!" On the contrary, much harm may result from the publication of these erroneous conclusions. It is a serious matter and requires the aid of all walnut growers, directed in the right channel by intelligent trained observers. Mr. McFadden or anyone desiring to examine the root of diseased trees, is welcome to dig his heart's content in my orchard, as have several hundred trees to remove to make room for others, and any "superabundant" moisture developed I will willingly pay for at current rates. I think the Walnut Associations is infected localities should combine in the matter of expense, provide necessary apparatus, employ a good man to run it under the supervision of Prof. Pierce, who told us years ago what the disease was, and will show any interested person who will call his laboratory in Santa Ana his cultures of the bacteria, and explain everything pertaining to its life and manner of propagation, etc. R.

Athearn, principal of the high school, was joined in wedlock to Miss Purle Evelyn Bottomes, of the high school corps of teachers, at the residence of the bride's mother, Mrs. A. J. Corker, in Los Angeles Wednesday afternoon, August 21. The wedding was quietly celebrated, with only relatives and friends as guests. The bride and groom are both graduates of the State University, and the bride is also a graduate of the Los Angeles high school. She has resided in Los Angeles since childhood, and is very popular in educational circles. The bride wore a handsome white silk gown, elaborately trimmed with lace and ribbons. Miss Marjorie O'Neill acted as flower girl. Mr. and Mrs. Athearn left for San Francisco for a short trip. They will make their home in Anaheim. Many gifts were received by the bride. Endorsed Gage, National City Record. The first primary election held under the new law took place in San Francisco last week. The result was a sweeping victory for the Republican organization against the Primary league ticket. What made the light interesting was that both the Chronicle and Call were strong advocates of the primary league which is opposed to Governor Gage. As the two San Francisco dailies are Gage's bitterest enemies and are bending all their energies to defeat him for a nomination next year, the governor may take courage from the fact that San Francisco republicans have at the primary endorsed his administration to the fullest extent. Foreign Fruits. The Pacific Commercial museum of San Francisco is in receipt of a number of special consular reports on foreign fruit crops. Consul Chester of Budapest, Hungary, writes that the production date is of a poorer crop than last year's. There is no old stock. The crop in France promises to be poor, hence an export to that country is expected. American growers ought to be able to export prunes to this country, competing with Rosnia and Servia. The countries to which the Budapest distributors of Bosnian and Servian prunes sold largest during the years 1897-1899 are Germany and Belgium. It is for the United States exporters to weigh the advantages meeting the Hungarians at the selling place (Budapest) or at the buying place in northern Europe. Vice Consul General Vogell of Begrade, Servia, says: "Since the June report the prospects for the prune crop in Servia have not got better at all." Schabatz, the most important district for prunes, they won't get half of last year's crop; in some other districts, important, it looks a little better, but the general prospects are very bad." Consul Ridgely of Malaga, Spain says the following about raisins: "The prospect for an abundant raisin crop is as good now, if not better, than as reported in June. The weather has been excellent; there has been little damage to the vines from insect infestation and all other conditions are flattering for an unusually abundant crop, which now promises to yield from 1,000,000 to 1,250,000 boxes."

Is a scratch from a pin that inserted in the fungus spot a perfectly healthy nut while a similar wound from a GREAT LOSSES CAUSED BY INSECTS $300,000,000 Damage Done to the Crops Annually—Most of the Worst Pests Imported. While it is true that the honey bee and the silk-worm of commerce are the basis of great industries, and while it is true that many insects, through their functions as scavengers, as cross-fertilizers of plants, and as parasites of destructive species, do an enormous amount of good in the economy of life, judging from the standpoint of human beings, the actual loss brought about by the work of other insects, mainly to the farmer, the fault-grower and the stock-raiser, goes far toward offsetting the benefits derived from insects, if it does not, in fact, completely overbalance them. Many estimates have been made of the losses produced by insects in their destruction of certain crops. These losses, when expressed in dollars and cents, are more or less misleading, because, for example, in a year when the chinch-bug wipes out a corn crop or a wheat crop in restricted parts of the country, the price of wheat or corn is sure to go up, which restores the money value of the crop as a whole. Nevertheless, this increased price bears upon the entire country, and there is thus a distinct and enormous economic loss through the work of the insects. According to the calculations of conservative investigators, the amount of destruction caused by the jaws of the various species of insects, most of which are so small that the average man would hardly note their existence,, is more than $300,000,000 a year. In other terms, if for three years the detractive insects would institute a feast, the amount saved in grain, fruit, cereals, timber, sundry crops and domestic animals would pay the national debt. LOCAL NOTES OF INTEREST Sanotified Holy! One of the "sanctified holy," at the Pentecost meeting, the other night, in giving his testimony before an interested audience, told a thrilling story of a railway engineer, residing at Whittier. This man got religion one day, while on his engine ("Glory be to God!" said the principal exhorter, down the line); and, on going home, told his wife that he had been sanctified holy, and had been made whiter than driven snow. "Well, I want you to understand," said she, "that I am a Presbyterian!" "Well, I'd have you to know," retorted the engineer, "that God has the power to sanctify even a Presbyterian!" The witness said, before coming to Anahsiim, he had been told the town was the toughest place in Southern California, but that he had found the same God here that guided his footsteps, back in his old home, in Pennsylvania. The Pentecost tabernacle draws crowded houses nightly. Evangelist Clark says the crowds are sometimes a trifle demonstrative, but he believes in having patience with them, and has in his time succeeded, in this way, in reforming some of the noisiest scoffers. He believes in emotional religion, shouting and having a good time. He is an intelligent and earnest exhorter, and is conducting an interesting series of meetings. Lost is Found. An aged couple hailing from the olastic precincts of Buena Park hunted up the Marshal one afternoon last week, and laid before him a harrowing tale of the theft of their horse and buggy, which had been hitched before a business house in town a short time previously. Because the officer did not instantly recover the property, which he deftly had been stolen. Labor, and assume an underof the subject of which their move their ignorance?

In other terms, if for three years the detractive insects would institute a feast, the amount saved in grain, fruit, cereals, timber, sundry crops and domestic animals would pay the national debt. A few years ago one farmer in the South lost $8,000 in a single season through the damage done to his extensive strawberry crop by the tarnished plant bug. In 1880 one farmer in Illinois lost $10,000 through the ravages of the army worm. In Maryland in the last two or three years an orchard grower has lost a peach orohard valued at $25,000 through the destructiveness of the San Jose scale. The destructive insect known as the ox-bot, or ox-warle, damages cattle around Lexington, Ky., to an amount estimated at $12,000 annually. In 1895 the osier willow industry in a restricted part of the State of New York suffered a loss of $45,000 from damage done by the cottonwood leaf beetle.

Lost is Found. An aged couple hailing from the classic precincts of Buena Park hunted up the Marshal one afternoon last week, and laid before him a harrowing tale of the theft of their horse and buggy, which had been hitched before a business house in town a short time previously. Because the officer did not instantly recover the property, which he doubted had been stolen, the old man became indignant. "Wouldn't that beat yer? Here I've got important business at the Park this very afternoon," he said, "and I ought to be there. I can't afford to miss this business engagement, and you officers don't seem to know anything about my horse and wagon!" A few minutes later the missing property was found at a blacksmith shop, where the son of the old man had driven it for repairs. The family climbed in and were soon on their way rejoicing.

The State of Illinois until recently suffered an annual loss of $2,375,000, or one-half the value of the average apple crop, through the work of the oddling moth. Nebraska in 1899 suffered a loss of $2,000,000 in the same way. New York is said to suffer an annual loss of $3,000,000 from the same insect, of which $2,500,000 is in apples and $500,-000 in pears.

In the year 1900 the State of Ohio is estimated to have lost $16,800,000 through damage to its wheat crop by the Hessian fly. The chinch bug, which is so small as to be hardly discernible to the naked eye, is one of the most destructive insects. The loss from ravages in 1871 equalled $30,000,000; in 1874 upward of DON'T WAIT.
