The Weekly Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor THURSDAY...August 13, 1903 THE WALNUT BLIGHT A blight of the nut crop, which has gradually grown during recent years until it menaces the future of the industry, is responsible this year, according to news printed in these columns last week, for shortening crops in some orchards to 15 per cent of the normal output. Probably throughout the nut-growing area of Southern California not to exceed half a crop will be harvested. Some orchardists attribute this shortage in large part to unfavorable conditions of weather in spring, but it is probably true that the blight itself is quite responsible for the entire loss. We have had these "unfavorable conditions" of weather before; indeed, it is pointed out by one grower that a rainfall of an inch or two while trees are putting forth blossom has not in the past been destructive, but quite the contrary. Whether or not healthy nuts are falling from the trees is an open question; some growers declare this to be a fact, while others scout the idea. If such nuts are dropping at all, they hold, it is not because of lack of fertilization, for that would have destroyed them before attaining their present size; and if a knife be run through them it will be seen on close inspection they are tainted with the blight, perhaps in not quite so marked a degree as those palpably blighted, but diseased just the same. These facts, culminating in the startling shrinkage of the crop, should set growers about the work of ferreting out the cause of the blight, which, if it continue its spread, will, in a few years wipe out the crop. The government pathologist stationed in this county should be placed in close touch with conditions throughout the valley. In some orchards a spraying of Bordeaux mixture has been attended with good results. This spraying should be taken up by every orchardist who cares a rap for the preservation of his property. True, the trees seem to be as yet untouched as to foliage and general healthy appearance, but who can tell how soon the blight may get in its work, at first denuding them of their beauty, and then destroying spring we shall be with him with both feet, and of them of respectable size at that. The professor replied saying he would remember us next season and probably we shall have the pleasure of seeing genial countenance and hearing his cheery voice on the platform again. While nothing definite course been done with regard to the meeting might be just as well for our ranchers and growers to make a note of the fact that we so fortunate as to secure the meeting, and that display of products will be one of the essentials. Of the most interesting and largely attended meetings ever held in Southern California has vened in this city, and we doubt not our people ready not only to equal past efforts, but to lay deep in the shade. Prof. Cook please make a copy in your memorandum book. Mr. Sherwood seems to have broken loose from reservation again, and occupies his valuable wildness of dance and gesticulation over the merger of interests between the two valley water panies. He says that if the merger is attempted put into effect there will be heaps of trouble camp, and more a coming. That may be all you but what an impatient and waiting world would know about is the cause for Mr. Sherwood's second in the matter of the imperfectly constructed turbine main canal near Horseshoe Bend. How can at one meeting he, acting as engineer of the company reported favoring their acceptance by the company then, when their defects had been pointed out other lay members of the board, he recanted and the board's permission to alter his report, change one disfavoring their acceptance? How came it reported fayoring their acceptance in the first Did he subject them to the usual examination, or go it blind, only to be brought up with a sharp his lay associates in the end. True it is that not since Mr. Sherwood's spear-for-life on the flying trapeze suspended Yorba reservoir have this gentleman's official act so grotesque, so mirth-provoking. However, comes to airing his rievances in the public Sherwood is a distinguished success. We publish second installment of his story of the voluptuous another column this morning. A subscriber asks our opinion regarding the fate of the Corbett-Jeffries mill in San Francisco. In truth, we know not a thing of the mill at all or two matters in connection therewith have so themselves, and may be referred to here. After is over, there will be many in the land to start cry of "fake" and "I told you so." And c the crop, should set growers about the work of fertering out the cause of the blight, which, if it continue its spread, will, in a few years wipe out the crop. The government pathologist stationed in this county should be placed in close touch with conditions throughout the valley. In some orchards a spraying of Bordeaux mixture has been attended with good results. This spraying should be taken up by every orchardist who cares a rap for the preservation of his property. True, the trees seem to be as yet untouched as to foliage and general healthy appearance, but who can tell how soon the blight may get in its work, at first denuding them of their beauty, and then destroying them in the end. That would be a calamity as dire as the blight which wiped out the vines fifteen years ago. Much diverse opinion exists among growers as to the genesis of the trouble, but the theory of the best informed is that it is a bacterial disease. That is what Prof. Pierce, at a meeting of the local farmers' club, said five years ago. That meeting should have been attended by every nut grower in the valley, for it had been publicly noted that the pathologist would speak upon the blight, its origin and method of exterminating it. The meeting was slimly attended, and long ago the farmers' club was quietly laid to rest, although there is so much work, and important work, for it to do, that it would seem it must be called forth again to take its place among things animate and existing for the public good. Let growers become better acquainted with conditions in their orchards and let scientific application be made to the end that all forms of blight may be eradicated. It seems but yesterday that nut growers were heralded to the world as having a cinch on the good things of this world. They were making money hand over fist and seemed to be on the sunny side of Easy street. Now, like a thunder clap from a clear sky, comes the report that crops are wofully shrunken, and by probably nothing other than the blight that has been lingering among the orchards for several years past. Let scientific measures be set on foot for its eradication; if experiments must be made, let them cover a wide area and be practiced by many growers, not by a few. According to the best information obtainable, the blight is of bacterial origin, and ideal conditions for its spread exist in wet and cloudy weather. Diseased nuts should not be permitted to lie upon the ground as a carpet, but should be carefully gathered up and burned. That the disease spreads from the fallen nuts is as certain as any scientific fact can be. They should be immediately burned, together with twigs of the tree that may show effects of the blight. Let growers get a bit acquainted with conditions in their orchards, let proper remedies be provided and sources of contagion be removed and we shall probably hear no more of crops almost wiped out by a bacterial germ which not one nut grower in a dozen would know if he met him walking between the trees in his orchard. SAN BERNARDINO's county game ordinance has been found to have been so negligently drawn as scarce to entitle it to the dignity of being "illegal." The ordinance seems to be a mere meaningless waste of A subscriber asks our opinion regarding the fate of the Corbett-Jeffries mill in San Francisco. In truth, we know not a thing of the mill at all or two matters in connection therewith have seen themselves, and may be referred to here. After it is over, there will be many in the land to start crying of "fake" and "I told you so." And there is there has been no little ground for these scrap outeries, for these things have been changed by dishonesty in every part. It may be there is a similar outcry after this week's battle, but so appearances count for anything it looks at this that the fight will be on its merits. This being granting the reports of Corbett's superb condition no sure thing that he is already a loser; on the quite the reverse. He is more agile than his own land ten blows to his one, and is a better ringer in every way than Jeffries, and he may make the maker more trouble than Mr. Monroe did up tana not so very long ago. If Jeffries is the same near being done for by the Montanan, bett's fight. On the other hand, if Jeffries is physical condition attributed to him in the dispute it is doubtful if Corbett can land a blow of force to lay him low. Again, Jeffries has undoubtedly since his association with Fitzsimons the odds of 2½ to 1 in his favor may give a faction of the merits of the participants. If Jeffrants the confidence placed in him, and is in man his friends claim for him, we fear he Pampadour Jim on Queo street before many rows over. On the other hand, the battle may devolve one of the greatest in the history of the park. Both men are the best the fighting world has put and those at the ring side will probably witness royal between the two giants.

If the protective pear wrong, figures would show it. A brief comprehe industrial situation in 1900 with that in constructive. The number of factories in the United States half-century period increased from 512,339; the number of wage earners from 95,316,802, and the yearly product from $1,019,913,014,000,000. The product grew thirteen-number of wage-earners sixfold and the numbers fourfold. The production of coal in time increased seventyfold; of petroleum more hundredfold; of pig-iron twenty-four fold; and per thirty-five fold. In 1850 the yield of co2,333,718 bales, and in 1900 9,436,416 bales. Our railway mileage grew from 9021 miles to 194,321 in 1900. In 1860 the tonnage at the S was 403,657; in 1900 it was 22,315,834. Exports factured articles have grown from $17,508,000 $433,851,000 in 1900. The gain in exports of pictures has been from $228,000,000 in 1896 to over 000,000 in 1903. In the light of these figures less to deny the results of Republican tariffs. Imparallel in the history of the world. Our the tree that may show effects of the blight. Let growers get a bit acquainted with conditions in their orchards, let proper remedies be provided and sources of contagion be removed and we shall probably hear no more of crops almost wiped out by a bacterial germ which not one nut grower in a dozen would know if he met him walking between the trees in his orchard. SAN BERNARDINO's county game ordinance has been found to have been so negligently drawn as scarce to entitle it to the dignity of being "illegal." The ordinance seems to be a mere meaningless waste of words—it means nothing, says nothing, and is as worthless as no ordinance at all. Some days ago, after Judge Conrey's decision upsetting the constitutionality of county game laws in general when in conflict with provision of state law, sportsmen went gunning for doves over in San Bernardino county. They were placed under arrest, and it was at the hearing of their cases in a justice's court in that county that the bull in the county ordinance was discovered. This consists in the provision that it shall be unlawful to shoot doves "between the first day of October and the first day of August of any year." Hereafter Philadelphia lawyers will have to take second place to their San Bernardino brethren. Had the ordinance read "from the first day of October to the first day of August of the succeeding year," or something to the same effect, its legality as such could hardly have been questioned; whether it prove in conflict with state law might have been learned later. But the words as they stand—well, they show what San Bernardino lawyers can do. When the ambiguity was called to the attention of the district attorney, as the case was on trial, he had wit-enough left to move for a two weeks' continuance, but it is said the case of the dove-shooters will not again be brought to trial. Probably the ordinance will be repealed, and a new one substituted. AN OFFER comes from Prof. Cook to have a farmers' institute convene here in September, but owing to the short time in which to make preparations, no less than the fact that several of our most enthusiastic institute men are out of town, the suggestion has been made the professor that if he try us in the coming stories fourfold. The production of coal in time increased seventyfold; of petroleum more hundredfold; of pig-iron twenty-four fold, and per thirty-five fold. In 1850 the yield of co2,333,718 bales, and in 1900 9,436,416 bales. Our railway mileage grew from 9021 miles in 194,321 in 1900. In 1860 the tonnage at the S.W.A. was 403,657; in 1900 it was 22,315,834. Exports factured articles have grown from $17,508,000 to $433,851,000 in 1900. The gain in exports of pictures has been from $228,000,000 in 1896 to over 000,000 in 1903.

The industrial and commercial pansion that has come under Republican tariffs for itself, and indisputably. JUDGES OSTER and Bledsoe of the San Bernardino Superior Court have rendered a decision declaring constitutional subdivision X, section 764 of the cipal corporation act, which is a portion of law under which cities of the fifth class have being license taxes. The effect of the decision, is to knock out every license tax ordinance on the fifth class in the state, and it is therefore reaching importance. The question came before the court in a habeas petition instituted by the Grocers' association, declined to pay the license tax J.D. was arrested. A habeas corpus petition wasately filed and the case argued and submitted. Cfession of the court is clean-cut and passes squarely the constitutionality of the section in dispute. Subdivision X, section 764, gives cities of this class power to "license for purposes of regular revenue all and every kind of business *** and by the laws and transacted and carried on in sundays." No other class of cities is given such power: court quotes from section 25, article IV., of this institution, wherein the legislature is expressly for pass local or special laws "for assessment or collection of taxes;" "exempting property from taxation" and "in all other cases where the general law made applicable." Also, in article XI, giving the legislature power classify and legislate for municipalities, the with him with both feet, and all his size at that. The professor has should remember us next spring, and have the pleasure of seeing his mind hearing his cheery voice from it. While nothing definite has of which regard to the meeting, yet it will for our ranchers and tree note of the fact that we may be sure the meeting, and that a good will be one of the essentials.

And certain it cept in municipal affairs" are held to apply to chartered cities only, and that all other legislation must be general. The decision says: "It follows by necessary implication that as to all cities and towns organized under the municipal corporation act and having no special charters, even their municipal affairs are subject to the general laws. Section 12, article XI, of the constitution, expressly authorizes the legislature, by general laws, to vest in municipalities power to assess and collect taxes for municipal purposes, but it cannot be contended that this provision is self-executing or mandatory. The power of a municipality to impose taxes is only that which the legislature grants to it: The legislature can undoubtedly authorize municipal corporations to collect taxes in the form of licenses for revenue only, but it has not done so in this instance. As already stated section 764, of the municipal corporation act, is general, in that it applies to all municipalities of the fifth class, but we are of the opinion that it is special when considered in its relations to persons and their rights as individuals." Further along in the decision the inequality of the taxes being paid by one merchant in one city and not being required of another merchant in a neighboring city, of a different class, is pointed out.

They are history of the world. Our workmen No time has been lost the past week in working up our permanent exhibit to be established at Santa Ana on September the first. Those having the matter in hand have pushed it along with an energy and enterprise that must awaken interest in everyone who in anxious to see our town and community keep abreast with the most progressive section in this, or any other county, and arouse them to the fact that a Chamber of Commerce made up, as is ours, of an up-to-date hustling body of men, is the very backbone and most valuable accessory we have in insuring the unlimited progressiveness and future welfare of our town and surrounding country. It is the manifest duty of every taxpayer to give this representative body their hearty support if not financial aid. They should, without a moments healtion, give them all the time and help they possibly can. The man who considers such time wasted, and such help a nuisance, is too narrow minded for his own good. He is a distinct detriment to the community in which he lives. With a number of such men, a community soon becomes stagnant and dead. It does not prosper and eventually goes back down the hill of failure and destruction and with it those who have been the means of its downfall. No town or community has ever increased in size and wealth, without being pushed forward by the energy of a majority of its citizens. In order to improve and upbuild our vicinity, we must not only be prepared to give some of our time and money, but must back it by that sincere sentiment of interest and co-operation, which lend that forceful energy and heartiness which insures complete success. However, as has been stated, no time has been lost in starting our exhibit for completion by Sept: lst; Fixtures of an attractive pattern have been designed to better display our many products. They are now in the hands of the mill and will be completed this week. Quite a number have been interviewed and have signified their willingness and desire to bring in some representative donation. It is to be hoped that everyone will not wait until he has been personally asked to contribute The undertaking is a public one. It is for the public good. Everyone should therefore be interested and bring in what they can. Each exhibit will receive the best of care and close attention will be given that everything is displayed to the best possible advantage. Do not be afraid to bring in the tenderest fruits. Care should be taken however, that they are not in any way bruised. They will immediately be transferred to Santa Ana where they will be preserved in alcohol or "processed."

Cleveland and Tammany Henry Stafford Little, of Trenton, N.J., who was head of the New Jersey Statehouse Democracy during Cleveland's first term as President, and now one of Cleveland's associates in the board of trustees of Princeton University, said in a recent New York interview that he believed Cleveland would accept the nomination for the Presidency next year. If it became manifestly his duty to do so, and said the New Jersey delegation will certainly be instructed to vote for his nomination, unless Cleveland specifically prohibits such a course. "I am very much interested in the favorable discussion of Cleveland for President, and am in sympathy with everything said to promote his candidacy," said Little. "It is my opinion that Cleveland can be promoted, and I have no doubt that if nominated he will be elected. You will understand I am speaking only for myself, I do not assume to commit Cleveland in any way, nor to express any views he may entertain on the subject." Of ex-senator Hill, Little said: "He should not be permitted to control the Democratic party of New York. He has done more damage to his party than Bryan." Among New York Democrats here the same impression prevails. A Tammany Hall man to whom Little's statement was shown, said: "That is correct. At the present time New York lies between Cleveland and Parker." Another Tammany leader, who is close to Murphy and Croker, says that the present Tammany programme is to declare for Cleveland immediately after the city election, in case Tammany wins. This leader intimated that the same elements which combined to wrest the State from Hill in 1898 are now acting in conjunction against Hill. 75, town of Santa Ana East; $10.

Dun's Monthly Review of Trade Conditions For July in Southern California. Trade movement in Southern California for midsummer is excellent. Good crops, good prices make for prosperous business conditions. Harvest reports continue favorable. Heavy crops of grain being harvested in nearly all sections. Ruling prices are unusually high. Wheat $1.50 cwt. Milling $1.45; Barley 87 at 90 ct. Oats $1. These are best prices in years. Green fruit shippers and canners are paying good prices, which in limiting amount going to the dryers. The sugar campaign is progressing. All factories are now in full swing and looking forward to record breaking runs. The beets are showing up well in sugar. The bean crop of 1903 will be heavy and better than average in quality. The Eastern grade which refused to take holdings at the pool prices, is buying liberally at present prices and holdover crop is lessening now rapidly. With 3 months remaining to dispose of balance, it is believed the new crop will meet a cleaned up market. Harvest will begin next month. Some contracts have already been made by local buyers for a new crop 34 et. for Limas, 24 for Blackeyes. Market for citrus fruit has been more steady the past month. Fruit shippers are just keeping active demand of Eastern market supplied with... WORLD'S FAIR NOTES.
