ROSES BY THOUSANDS FOR EASTERN MARKET Twenty Men Have Been Engaged in Preparing Them For Shipment From Katella. It is doubtful if during the past five years any section of Southern California has made the wonderful progress of the Katella district. Surrounded on all sides by splendid walnut and deciduous fruit orchards, farmers this year have variegated their crops with green chile peppers, onions, potatoes, celery and other produce; and one man has gone extensively into the raising of rose bushes for the Eastern market, which industry has given employment during the month to twenty hands, who have been engaged in digging the bushes and preparing them for shipment. This gentleman is W. W. Perkins of Villa Park, who will this month ship 80,000 rose plants to New York, where the market price for them ranges from 10 to 12 cents. Mr. Perkins has cultivated four acres of the Knapp ranch at Katella, where he has 40,000 plants, and his tract has been a veritable hive of industry for several weeks past. The cuttings were set out from October to December last year. The variety is the Crimson Rambler. The plants will be shipped "in the best refrigerator car I can find," said Mr. Perkins, in talking with our reporter the other day. Mr. Perkins has been in the rose business a number of years, but has gone into it more extensively than ever the present season. Next season he will plant 80,000 cuttings at Olive, and will have a total number, in various places, of 100,000 rooted plants and 150,000 cuttings. These plants will cover an area of 20 acres. The genesis of this new industry is interesting. These plants, which will this week be well on the road to the Empire State, are designed to meet the Fall trade. For them a brisk demand exists. There are no Eastern-bred plants to come into competition with these Katella rose bushes. The first Eastern plants to come into market will not make their appearance before next Spring. Consequently, there are no Fall roses to meet the demand. American ingenuity was quick to acquire the idea that California offered a solution to the problem. And, in the whole State, no spot better adapted to The orchard has been ridged up, so that the dry leaves may be caught, and later, plowed under for fertilizer. Large quantities of manure have been recently hauled upon the orchard, which will be plowed in when the crop is gathered, before the rains come. Mr. Rea believes in restoring to the soil at least a modicum of what is taken from it, and is a consistent believer in fertilizing. Mr. Neff's fine place adjoins Mr. Rea's on the north. Mr. Neff was found engaged in the erection of a drying-house for his peppers. The building is 26x52 feet, of galvanized iron. Steam will be supplied from the boiler at his pump-house. He has a splendid field of peppers, which look well, and produce abundantly. He expects to market 20 tons of dried peppers. The price ranges better than $200 per ton. Mr. Neff's walnut orchard was found to be in its usual cleanly kept and vigorous condition. He is gathering the crop, which promises well. Five years ago, when the Katella schoolhouse was built, there was little around it, except for the promising young orchards set out by Mr. Rea and Mr. Neff. Ten years ago, before their advent, the entire country was given over to pasturage. Today a wonderful transformation scene greets the eye. Majestic walnut trees are on very hand; new houses have been built; improvements have been made on all sides; land sales are frequent, and one or two notable transfers are expected to occur shortly. A Riverside man, who visited this section some days ago, declared there was nothing in the adjoining county to equal this section. He said he would dispose of his Riverside ranch and locate at Katella. Since his return home he has asked the price of 40 acres south of Rea. West of Katella is a rich region which has developed rapidly. Vacant land is being purchased; new pumping plants are being erected; on all sides there is vigorous growth. In no section of Southern California has such great improvement been made in recent years. LOUIE BOLZ GOES TO JAIL Sent Up For 90 Days For Disturbing the Peace of His Divorced Wife. Louie Bolz was on Tuesday morning sentenced by Judge Shanley to ninety days in the county jail. The Alexander Crawl Brings Red-Scale Parasites Colony of Thirty-two Four-Winged Fly Liberated in Koenig Orchard on Lemon Street. Alexander Crawl, State Horticulture Quarantine Officer, arrived in town Saturday morning from San Francisco on a tour of the southern counties, for the purpose of placing colonies of newly imported red-scale parasites on orchards infested with that pest. Mr. Craw was met by Horticultural Commissioners Huntington of this city and Rafferty of Santa Ana. In a little vial, so small they were scarce distinguishable to the nake eye, were six minute four-winged flies which, if they do as well here as China, whence they have just been imported, will divest the red-scale question of much, if not all of its annoyance or orchardists. These flies, Mr. Craw said, are one of the results following Mr. Compere's trip to Hawaii, China and the Pacific islands, in search of parasites for scale. An appropriation of $10,000 was made by the Legislature to send an expert entomologist to foreign countries to search of these friends of the orchardists. Mr. Compere was selected for this task. After an absence of over a year the gentleman returned some months ago having sent to California many specimens of parasites which it is hoped may become acclimated and prove a prey scale pests. None of these parasite possess greater interest, and now have greater work to perform, that this microscopic four-winged fly. Mr. Craw, speaking of the discovery of this parasite, said Compere came upon it in quite an interesting manner. He was seeking the parasite on the China coast, some two years ago, when he was made aware of its existence by seeing many red scale parasitized. He was loath to go far into the interior of account of the Boxer troubles, but being unable to discover it on the island boldly set out for the mainland where the insurrection was then underway. In a garden of Chinese mandarin in one of the interior towns, he came upon an orange tree growing in the front yard. He entered the ground unbidden and an inspection of the tree revealed the fact that many of the reef scale, with which the tree was covered were parasitized being punctured by The genesis of this new industry is interesting. These plants, which will this week be well on the road to the Empire State, are designed to meet the Fall trade. For them a brisk demand exists. There are no Eastern-bred plants to come into competition with these Katella rose bushes. The first Eastern plants to come into market will not make their appearance before next Spring. Consequently, there are no Fall roses to meet the demand. American ingenuity was quick to acquire the idea that California offered a solution to the problem. And, in the whole State, no spot better adapted to their culture could be found than the rich lands about Katella. Here, Mr. Perkins says, the plants have made better growth than elsewhere. The plants are from three to five feet in height, and some grow six feet during the season. Since the 11th of September Mr. Perkins has had a force of twenty men engaged in gathering these bloomers for shipment. First, the plants are loosened at the roots by running an implement under the furrows, and then they are gathered and bound into parcels of 25. They are subsequently carefully packed in moss and placed upon the refrigerator car. For these 40,000 plants the income will be from $4,000 to $4,800. Mr. Perkins has four acres set to roses at Villa Park, and one acre at Olive. He expects to ship 80,000 plants from the three places. For these the return will be from $8,000 to $9,000. Pretty good income from nine acres of land? Where else in the land can this be done? Mr. Perkins is in partnership with a large firm of nurserymen, who handle his product for him. He looks the prosperous rancher that he is, and is quite contented with the industry, and is making money out of it. When Mr. Knapp, upon whose ranch these roses have grown, first looked upon the Katella district, a year ago last May, there was not a thing upon the thirty acres he purchased at that time. So well satisfied is he with the productiveness of the soil, that he has recently purchased twenty acres more. In Barrie, Ontario, where Mr. Knapp came from, he was known as one of the best farmers in that section. That this praise was not idly bestowed, a visit to his ranch will testify. He has this year sold 1,000 sacks of onions, and 800 sacks of potatoes, at satisfactory prices. He has eight acres of as fine peppers as one would care to see, and an acre and a quarter of celery which rivals the Peatland crop. These green and inviting fields would have been impossible without water. Of this he has an abundance, which is raised from his well by a gasoline engine. He pumps 60 inches of water, which is conducted in ditches and flumes to every part of the ranch. The day of our visit Mr. Knapp was irrigating the peppers. In the ditch running alongside the field, the bank was perforated at each row with 50 pipes, 30 inches long and 11-inch in size. Through these 50 streams of water ran between as many rows of peppers, which are planted five feet apart. On the ranch are seven acres of on- West of Katella is a rich region which has developed rapidly. Vacant land is being purchased; new pumping plants are being erected; on all sides there is vigorous growth. In no section of Southern California has such great improvement been made in recent years. LOUIE BOLZ GOES TO JAIL Sent Up For 90 Days For Disturbing the Peace of His Divorced Wife. Louie Bolz was on Tuesday morning sentenced by Judge Shanley to ninety days in the county jail. The complaint was sworn to by Ben Berrow of West Anaheim, a neighbor, who charged Bolz with going to the residence of his (Bolz's) divorced wife the previous evening and raising a riot. Bolz was under the influence of liquor. His language toward Mrs. Bolz and the children was shocking in the extreme. The women and children were run out of the house in their night clothes. Bolz brandished a knife. The family was badly frightened and bad to appeal to neighbors for protection. Emma Bolz, the eighteen-year-old daughter of the man sent to jail, is said to have eloped from Fullerton in company of Fred Healy, a Whittier graduate, who has been hanging about that town for some time past. This probably started Bolz. He was seen in town early in the evening drinking. He pleaded with the Judge to lessen his fine, but his Honor sternly refused, and Bolz will eat his Christmas turkey in the county jail. Paralyzed. Pasqual Silva, aged 76 years, who has been a resident of Anaheim since the 60's, was paralyzed at his home near Droyfus winery Monday evening about 6 o'clock. He was engaged in preparing his supper, and while in the act of taking a drink of water, fell over, a stroke of paralysis affecting his side. The unfortunate man remained in his prostrate position the entire night. He was discovered the next day by a neighbor along about 10 o'clock. A physician was summoned who ministered to the wants of the sufferer. There is little hope for recovery. Yesterday an effort was being made to have him sent to the hospital. Silva is well known by all old residents. He has been a hard-working and upright citizen, and his affliction is regretted. Walnut Theft. A walnut grower living on Lemon street states that as he was walking through his orchard on Monday morning he espied a man filling a sack with nuts that had fallen from the trees. The man made off toward South street, where he jumped into his wagon and attempt to make off. The grower ran and intercepted him and recovered his property. Only the fellow's protestations and promises of good behavior in future relieved him of an enforced appearance in court. He was an elderly man, with gray beard, and drove a gray horse attached to a blue wagon. He had four empty sacks in the wagon. In a garden of a Chinese mandarin in one of the interior towns, he came upon an orange tree growing in the front yard. He entered the ground unobliden and an inspection of the tree revealed the fact that many of the re-scale, with which the tree was covered were parasitized, being punctured by some enemy of its species, which had done its work thoroughly, most of the scale being dead. The microscope revealed the presence of many minute flies, and these Compere could see were at work upon the scale. He must have that tree and its precious contents all hazards. Here a servant stepped up to him, and saying his master was not at home, requested Compere to call them next day. Early the next morning Compere was again at the side of the tree, offering to purchase it from its owner. The latter declined to part with it. The American insisted, offering to pay and price for it. The Chinese finally, after much arguing, consented to dispose of it, and set upon it a price of $2. Compere paid the price, and the next day the Chinese sent back to him a dollar saying he did not desire to rob him. Compere refused to accept the money and sent word back that he would willing have paid $20 for the tree. The tree was carefully boxed and shipped to Mr. Craw at San Francisco Since then he has been engaged in the work of propagating the parasites with which is filled. During the past week he has introduced numerous colonies into orchards in Southern California. A portion of the original importation was shipped to Los Angeles, where they are being propagated upon roses bushes. On arriving in Anaheim Mr. Craw was driven to the Koenig orchard on Lemon street, where the flies were liberated. The vial in which the parasites were carried had been maintained in an inverted position. The flies thus terased about the top of the vial, seemingly eager to escape from their place of confinement. On going to the tree selected for the future habitat, the vial was turned right side up, the core extracted and the parasites immediately flew up into the tree. The trees in this yard will not be sprayed nor fumigated for two years in order to give the parasites even opportunity of developing. Mr. Craw was driven to various orchards in the northern portion of the county, where fumigation for purpule scale has been progress. He complimented the work of Commissioner Huntington, and spoke in terms of praise of the Supervisors in furnishing tents for fumigation purposes. He has great hope the new four winged fly will prove a destructive enemy to the scale. Speaking of the work of the vedalia in exterminating white cats across China coast, some two years ago, when he was made aware of its existence because many red scale parasitized. He was loath to go far into the interior or account of the Boxer troubles, but being unable to discover it on the island boldly set out for the mainland where she insurrection was then underway.

These green and inviting fields would have been impossible without water. Of this he has an abundance, which is raised from his well by a gasoline engine. He pumps 60 inches of water, which is conducted in ditches and flumes to every part of the ranch. The day of our visit Mr. Knapp was irrigating the peppers. In the ditch running alongside the field, the bank was perforated at each row with 50 pipes, 30 inches long and 1¼-inch in size. Through these 50 streams of water ran between as many rows of peppers, which are planted five feet apart. On the ranch are seven acres of onions. From 3½ acres recently he gathered 1,000 sacks, which were shipped to Chicago, where they arrived in splendid condition, there not being an unsound one in the car. The purchaser was so well pleased he immediately wired for two carloads more. The young onion plants on the ranch now number 350,000. They are a sight to behold. Planted in straight rows, they stretch away, acre after acre, and seem to be in a thoroughly flourishing condition. Mr. Knapp has a patch of Lima beans, which a Ventura man, who recently visited the ranch, stated would go two tons to the acre. The price for beans is $85 per ton. The Ventura man declared that nothing approaching it could be found in his county, and declared he would locate at Katella next year and go into the business in that locality. Mr. Knapp's farm is one of the hand-somest sights to be found in Orange county. Not the least interesting is his patch of celery, which is doing well. He says he will have celery on the market by Thanksgiving. He is another farmer who has made money during the year and a half of his residence in California. He is now engaged in the erection of a drying-house, where his crop of peppers will be prepared for market. Across the way is the 80-acre walnut orchard belonging to J. B. Rea, which maintains its usual fine appearance. Mr. Rea considers himself considerable of a farmer. His orchard substantiates that claim. Not a weed can be seen, and the trees are loaded with nuts, which are now being gathered. A walnut grower living on Lemop street states that as he was walking through his orchard on Monday morning he esploded a man filling a sack with nuts that had fallen from the trees. The man made off toward South street, where he jumped into his wagon and attempted to make off. The grower ran and intercepted him and recovered his property. Only the fellow's protestations and promises of good behavior in future relieved him of an enforced appearance in court. He was an elderly man, with gray beard, and drove a gray horse attached to a blue wagon. He had four empty sacks in the wagon, and is supposed to be one of a gang who thrive among walnut groves at this particular season of the year. Another Election.

The Chamber of Commerce has already buckled down to energetic work in behalf of the upbuilding of this city. It is in correspondence with officers of the celebrated sanitarium situated at Battle Creek, Michigan, who are desirous of establishing a branch of this institution in Southern California. During the week Alonzo T. Jones of Berkeley, representative of the sanitarium people in California, has been in Anaheim, and was a day or two ago through the Del Campo hotel building by F. G. Athearn, Secretary of the Chamber. Mr. Jones expressed himself as being very favorably impressed with the building and its surroundings; and it is believed a proposition will be made to the owners of the property which they will accept for transfer of the building. Mr. Jones said he desired a building of 200 rooms. While the Del Campo has not that many, it was pointed out that an addition could be constructed at small expense. The institution would open with 300 people, including physicians, nurses and patients. The institution at Battle Creek has 750 patients. It is the largest of its kind in the world. Other towns in Southern California are anxious to have the sanitarium located in their midst—among them, Long Beach, Monrovia, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, and other places. The superiority of our water facilities, as well as the salubrious climate and other conditions, favor us, and hopes are entertained that the institution will locate here. It has at present a temporary branch in Los Angeles, but is looking for another location. TOPICS FOR FARMERS' CLUB. Fullerton-Placentia Horticulturists Discuss Matters of Interest at Mr. Crowther's. The Fullerton-Placentia Farmers' Club met on Saturday at the residence of Wm. Crowther. Discussion of the subject, Floating of Water Stock, called out a large attendance. Mr. Crowther opened the discussion with an BROTHERS-IN-LAW FALL OUT. Adolph Steinke Arrested Charged With Shooting at George Lenz-Proves an Alibi and is Discharged. Adolph Steinke, a Russian, aged 31 years, living three miles west of town, was arrested on Friday on complaint of his brother-in-law, George Lenz, aged 40, and charged with intent to commit murder. Steinke was released on $2000 bonds given by his father and a neighbor. His preliminary examination was held before Judge Shanley yesterday afternoon. The two parties to the controversy have quarreled for years, and the senior Steinke denominates his son-in-law, "the meanest man in the world. Lenz's story is to the effect that, on Thursday night last, three shots were fired: one while he was at the barn, and the others while he was at the house. The first shot was fired at about 8 o'clock. He went to the house, and was reading a paper, some 15 minutes later, when the second shot was fired. The shot rattled on the roof like hall. He went to the door, accompanied by his wife, and as he stepped into view a third shot was fired at him. One of the shots struck him in the nostril, and several went through the screen door. One lodged in his wife's waist. Five shot were subsequently gathered up from the floor. Lenz swore positively he saw Steinke standing in front of his (Steinke's) house across the way, whence the shots had come. He admitted having had trouble with Steinke, but said he never abused old man Steinke or any one of his family. Once he ordered him off the place. Mrs. Lenz gave similar testimony, and Elmer Ball also testified for plaintiff. Defendant introduced numerous witnesses to prove that he was in town that evening, and could not have done the shooting. His wife testified she heard two shots, but that her husband was not at home at the time. At the conclusion of the testimony, District Attorney Williams, on behalf of the people, asked that the case be dismissed, there not being sufficient evidence to convict. Judge Shanley accordingly dismissed the prisoner. Tax Rates. The State and county tax rate has been fixed at $1.80 on $100 of property valuation, an advance of 5 cents over last year.

Fullerton-Placentia Farmers' Club met on Saturday at the residence of Wm. Crowther. Discussion of the subject, Floating of Water Stock, called out a large attendance. Mr. Crowther opened the discussion with an argument against stock floating, while Mr. Mills spoke in favor of the practice. The consensus of opinion was against it. Theodore Staley, a member of the committee appointed to further investigate the walnut fungus in this district, reported that the disease was just as bad in groves unirrigated as it was in those irrigated regularly, and that soft-shells suffered as much as hard-shell walnuts. He said there were a number of groves in Placentia that were almost free from the disease. L. B. Benchley, speaking of the vine disease, stated that a northern nursery could supply the growers here with resistant root vines at $50 per 1000, but that deliveries could not be made until some time next year. C. C. Chapman reported that but very little work would be done toward the completion of grading and graveling of the Fullerton-Placentia road this year, as the county funds apportioned to Fullerton were almost exhausted, and would not be increased before the first of the year. He stated that the local committee still had on hand several hundred dollars of the money donated by the people, and stood ready to carry out its portion of the work when the county could act. A number of members of the club complained of the condition of the roads of Fullerton and Placentia, saying that they were almost impassable in many places. During the afternoon the Crowther orchestra favored the club with a number of selections. At the close of the session the Misses Crowther served refreshments. The next meeting will be held at the home of C. C. Chapman the last Saturday afternoon in this month. The club invited the Crowther orchestra to be present.
