The Weekly Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY...August 6, 1903 WILLIAM CROWTHER, who is one of the largest growers of walnuts in Southern California, owning as he does over 100 acres of orchard at Placentia, estimates this year's crop upon his trees at not to exceed 15 per cent of the average yield. Mr. Crowther is a firm believer in irrigation and gives his trees as much water as any grower in the county. He discredits the impression which prevails in some sections that the blight of the nut is caused by too much irrigation. In his orchard blighted nuts as well as those apparently healthy have been dropping during the past month. The cause of the dropping of the latter he attributes to unfavorable weather in April, when 24 inches of rain fell, during the period of pollination. The bloom was washed from the trees by the heavy downpour, and thus pollination did not take place to the usual extent. The apparently healthy nuts now dropping are the result, he says, of a consequent lack of fertilization, and they drop from the trees of their own weight. These nuts have in many cases attained almost full growth, and under some trees literally cover the ground. Mr. Crowther two years ago made a trip to Europe, and at the request of walnut growers of Southern California made an inspection trip through the nut-growing districts of Grenoble and other centers of the industry in France and Italy. He found the crop short and of poor quality, and it was to his recommendation that the advantageous prices thereafter prevailing were in great part due. NEILL BAILEY, formerly of this city, but now of Naco, A. T., where he holds a responsible position with the Cananea railroad, has become engaged to Miss Gertrude von Gundell of Savanah, Ga., and will in November lead her to the hymeneal altar. Neill met Miss Von Gundell while in the volunteer service during the Spanish war, being then a lieutenant in the New Mexican regiment, which he assisted materially in raising upon the call to arms. His regiment seemed destined for active service, only to be denied this privilege later on. Upon its muster in it was ordered arriving in large numbers daily, but at Los Angeles well. Let our growers co-operate with Mr. Sanders to the end that a display adequately represents best section of the most favored county in the may be made. The report of Mr. Sherwood, engineer of the company, accepting the work performed on the tunnels on the Cajon canal, when it was in an unusatisfactory condition, and then turning and rescinding his action because serious damage had been discovered, may lead them into a pretty mess of trouble. Mr. Sherwood weeks ago, acting as engineer, recommended action of the tunnels, after what must be presumed been a careful examination. Else how could scientiously recommend acceptance? Other reasons of the board, disdaining to accept the engineer as accurate, made a personal examination of and discovered grievious errors in construction some places the tunnels are 7 inches narrower than for by the specifications, and the bottom, according to Mr. Hale, is "as rough as the waves of the ocean." Sherwood thereupon recants and asks permission board of directors to withdraw his report record acceptance, substituting an unfavorable rejection with holding final payment. Here the contractor appears and threatens recover, basing his claims upon the acceptable work by the company's engineer. The tunnels cost $2,600, and there yet remains to be expended in cementing their interiors. The question arises, should accident fall these present uncompleted condition, where stockholders get off on the excursion, or is it pose to not let them get off at all and continue way on the road to destruction? How long has haphazard manner of doing things continued after board? The "California Promotion Committee" of cisco has issued a pamphlet entitled "California which is designed to be 'a standard work state.'" The pamphlet purports to treat each state impartially, but like other states from northern sources, scant courtesy is paid California. The northern part of the state is eulogized and written up, and many half-tailings appear, designing to show that the nature of whole thing in California. So far as a handover the booklet reveals, the only reference Angeles is a picture of a pigeon ranch, and a few scant praise at the very end of the book. Counties of the south are similarly treated; and the scant courtesy characteristic of the north. NEILL BAILEY, formerly of this city, but now of Naco, A. T., where he holds a responsible position with the Cananea railroad, has become engaged to Miss Gertrude von Gundell of Savanah, Ga., and will in November lead her to the hymeneal altar. Neill met Miss Von Gundell while in the volunteer service during the Spanish war, being then a lieutenant in the New Mexican regiment, which he assisted materially in raising upon the call to arms. His regiment seemed destined for active service, only to be denied this privilege later on. Upon its muster in it was ordered South to report for duty in Cuba. The war with Spain was then young, and the young patriots were eager to draw the sword in remembrance of the destruction of that ship which sent the war spirit rioting in the blood, in New Mexico as elsewhere in the land. The regiment went into camp at Albany, Ga., and here, while waiting for orders to proceed South, our young friend met the blue-eyed German maetchen who took him captive at the preliminary skirmish. While the young soldier was eager to go to the front, yet who shall say how many blissful hours he must have spent with his fair lady love under the palmettos? Then came orders for the regiment to get in readiness for immediate service in the Philippines. Manila had fallen, and the two lovers were soon to part, with no prospect of meeting again for years. But days wore into weeks, and still the looked-for orders came not. Then came—Santiago, and the end. As the regiment was upon the very point of proceeding westward, orders came directing it to go home for the muster-out. The rest of the story is easily told. The young lieutenant, after returning home, went, a year or more afterward, back to the magnolia blossoms of the South, and—would you believe it—the young rascal asked papa for the hand of his daughter. Instead of ordering him out of the house, the old man finally said yes, and the wedding will occur in November. THE Riverside Press man seems to have his trolly crossed in the matter of the proposed route of the Huntington electric line between Los Angeles and its home city. It appears to have supposed the line would run eastward to Riverside from Pomona, and in a recent issue, quoting from our columns regarding work upon the road in river canyon, says the route will be from Whittier "through Fullerton and Anaheim," and thence east through the canyon to Corona and Riverside. If Editor Clark were to make a trip over the route, or would scan one of the company's maps, he would see the trolly line will not touch either Fullerton or this city, not by several miles. Through La Habra valley it runs in a southeasterly direction, but enters this valley several miles east and to the north of Fullerton, the idea being to make as near a bee line as possible. The trolly line will, the company's engineers say, reach Riverside before the end of the year, and when completed will afford Riversiders a nearer route to Los Angeles by probably fifteen miles than is now enjoyed by them over the Santa Fe. That is a matter of sufficient importance to Riverside to make the Press man feel himself impelled to right his trolly immediately if not sooner. cisco has issued a pamphlet entitled "California which is designed to be "a standard work state." The pamphlet purports to treat each state impartially, but like other states from northern sources, scant courtesy is paid California. The northern part of the state is eulogized and written up, and many half-tails appear, designing to show that the novel whole thing in California. So far as a hint over the booklet reveals, the only reference Angeles is a picture of a pigeon ranch, and a few scant praise at the very end of the book. Counties of the south are similarly treated; so the scant courtesy characteristic of the north—the "California Promotion Society" regards dealing impartially with all the counties, but south the book arouses only a smile of derision book is nicely printed and the engravings are but whatever value it may have as a "start-up" upon the state," is vitiated by its too apparent courtesy to the south. Everything for the making for the south, seems to be the motto for society. Why is this? Because the county south have made prodigious progress in its population during the past ten years, owing many natural advantages, while many of these counties have actually retrograded. And thus march of the south cannot be stayed by such temptation to injure us as is put out by the prociety in guise of a standard work upon them. With the intention of fixing upon a policy, California has undertaken this year help of the bureau of forestry, a comprehensive study of its forests. The state leased recently appropriated $15,000 for the study, thereby being that it should be carried out by the forestry, and that the bureau should bear no expense. The state desires to know those facts alests that will guide it in passing wisefore desires to know, for instance, what disposals made of the state forest lands, what should regulate the cutting of timber on them, how may best be restrained, whether tree-planting areas will pay, etc. The task of securing all information for a forest policy for California the bureau has begun this summer. The work is of such that several years will be required to compr valuable and suggestive results will be seen year. The work has been begun on a large scale are now examining public lands in the state mine what parts of them are suitable for new reserves, and similar studies will be made for state reserves. A study will be made owned by the state in order to determine which they may best be put, who should them, and what sort of administration will have. A forest map of California will be made at location of all the forest areas and divide between different kinds of forest. In with the forest-map will be a study of implem in order to learn with exactness the commo of the valuable species. An investigation wofthe effects of lumbering on the forest in order what ought to be done to cut-over of great importance to know what happens in different parts of the timber regions ar over by the lumberman—whether it comes GERALD SANDILANDS has been selected by the chamber of commerce to gather an exhibit of products of the soil hereabout for exhibition at the county display to be maintained by the Santa Ana chamber of commerce in that city. This section is capable of exhibiting the finest specimens of fruits and cereals to be found anywhere in Southern California, and Mr. Sandilands is by experience and artistic ability just the man to gather the exhibit and prepare it for display. This section has hitherto neglected this important matter of placing exhibits before the thousands of Easterners now flocking into Southern California, but it is well it has taken it up and placed the work in the hands of a thoroughly competent gentleman. The Los Angeles chamber of commerce and its display of products has been the primary means of making that splendid city what it is, but it is a singularly notable fact that the county capable of making the best display has never been adequately represented therein, or, we may say, at all. Displays of Anaheim's products should be maintained, not only at Santa Ana, where Easterners are owned by the state in order to determine which they may best be put, who should them, and what sort of administration to have. A forest map of California will be made the location of all the forest areas and between the different kinds of forest. In with the forest map will be a study of impact in order to learn with exactness the common of the valuable species. An investigation will of the effects of lumbering on the forest in order to determine what ought to be done to cut-over of great importance to know what happens in different parts of the timber regions at over by the lumberman—whether it comes timber or whether it becomes waste land. The effects of fire on the forest, especially bering, and what may be done by the state fire are subjects that will take a long time to determine what is the cheapest and most effective of protecting from fire land that has been leased—which includes a great variety of scrub as manzanita, scrub oak, valley mahogany cherry—will retain the moisture in the softer timber trees. Chaparral grows denser than and often reaches a height of 20 to 26 feet after 16 to 18 inches. L. C. Miller, who has this work, is now making a study of the conifer which chaparral grows in the San Gabriel near Pasadena, where the bureau has been pines and cedars for several years. The results of these separate investigations gathered together by William C. Hodge, one who has general charge of the California would be presented to the state in a formal report by maps. The first step towards merging city and townments was taken by the county supervisee on Tuesday. The board appointedtee of six to confer with the city council on the proposed consolidation of city and comments. This committee is composed of three members in the city and three outside the city. Committee was also appointed composed of and the district attorney to pass on the legal involved. The move involves cutting off part of the county to form a new county with Pomona deua as the county seat. PORTERS' REPORT HAULING GRAVEL FOR TUNNELS AND DITCHES.

So far as a hasty glance reveals, the only reference to Los Angeles of a pigeon ranch, and a few words of very end of the book. The other south are similarly treated; always with characteristic of the north. Perhaps promotion Society" regards the book as easy with all the counties, but here in the houses only a smile of derision. The stated and the engravings are well made, but it may have as a "standard work" vitiated by its too apparent lack of truth. Everything for the north, nothose to be the motto for the promotions prodigious progress in wealth and the past ten years, owing to their antages, while many of the northern usually retrograded. And the constant truth cannot be stayed by such a silly attitude as is put out by the promotion so of a standard work upon the state.

Fire on the forest, especially after lumber may be done by the state to prevent that will take a long time to work out. A.

It will also make a study of the chaparral in California in order to learn whether them with timber trees. A very in-depth has been raised as to whether chaparral a great variety of scrub trees, such as rub oak, valley mahogany, and scrub in the moisture in the soil as well as chaparral grows denser than timber trees, as a height of 20 to 26 feet and a diameter of 15 inches.

"We could have got out injunction proceedings and kept saloons open six weeks more if we had so desired, but we didn't want to fight the will of the people. Reece is a man of standing and is well to do. Many people at the county seat regret his departure. GREAT DEMAND FOR FRUIT SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.—One hundred carloads of fruit a day, or 2400,000 pounds, are now going East from Sacramento. Up to last Monday the number of cars sent East to all points beyond Ogden was 1,717. They contained 41,208,000 pounds of fruit Both the railroad officials and the orchardist say that the prospects are favorable for the shipment East this season of 192,000,000 pounds of all sorts of green fruits. This is equivalent to 8,000 carloads. It is reported that the demand of New York, Chicago, Boston and St Paul for all kinds of California green fruit is stronger than ever. The orchardists through an executive committee are routing the shipments in such a manner as not to glut the market in any of the eastern cities. On this account prices are kept firm and steady. The severe winter and spring weather in many eastern and southern states damaged the fruit crop. This is the main reason for the high prices being paid for California fruits. Frank Pallas was in town on Monday from Los Angeles, where for some months past he has been engaged with a railroad bridge-building crew. He goes to Riverside to take charge of a gasoline engine on one of the largest orange orchards there. Frank was offered a foremanship with the bridge-builder, but prefers ranching.

It is poor economy to plant garden seeds in a wet soil. The best place for a peach orchard is on high land. If there are deep valleys all around it, so much the better. Trees of the less hardy sorts—peach, cherry, apricot, etc.—in nearly all cases do better if transplanted in the spring. After an orchard comes into bearing well, grain crops cannot be grown among the trees without injury to them and to the fruit. With grapes the pruning consists in shortening the strong canes about one-half and the weaker ones three-fourths, leaving only two or three buds at the base.

The framework of the building is already completed and the work of installing furnaces and machinery will next occupy the attention of the builders. It is expected that the plant will open for active operations about November 1, and a line of schooners will be employed from that date transporting iron ore from Lower California for treatment. It is announced that upon the completion of the first plant and its successful operation other similar buildings will be erected to give increased capacity. Crude oil is to be used in the smelting process and experiments with iron ore have given very satisfactory tests of the process. As an experiment the first run in the plant is to be made with copper ore, in order to ascertain whether or not oil can be successfully used in its reduction. If the result is satisfactory copper ore may be treated at the Newport smelter, as well as iron.
