WILL GRAFT MANY WALNUTS Ten Acres of the Neff Orchard to be Cut Back for Grafts—Resistant to Blight—Public May Witness the Operation One hundred and fifty walnut trees in the Neff orchard southwest of town will be cut back in a few weeks to be grafted to a variety resistant to the blight. These trees are fourteen years old and have attained a fine growth, but lost half their nuts the past season from effects of blight. During the past year Mr. Neff has looked over many orchards in Southern and Northern California for trees showing qualities resistant to the blight, and some months ago discovered in his own orchard a tree which seems to fill the bill. This tree produced 200 pounds of nuts last year, and seemed to have very little blight. Grafts from this tree will be taken and attached to the trees that blight. The work will be done by an experienced nurseryman from the north who has made an especial study of this method of ridging orchards of the blight. Mr. Neff has been in correspondence with the agricultural experiment station of the YORBA RESERVOIR COMPANY A Barbecue Planned to Commence Event, Probably on Jan. 24th Before the Annual Water M President Crowther of the board on Monday brought to town nouncement of the fact that the reservoir has been completed by gineer Kellogg, and that a ban will be held in the near future to memorate the event, which is of great importance to irrigators through the valley. The date of the cue will probably be on Friday, ary 24th, which is the day before annual election of directors for Anaheim Union Water company. election of directors will be a love this year, and the present board probably be re-elected by acclamation. Mr. Crowther this week circulated petition for signatures to a fund $300, which he will raise to defraud expenses of the celebration. He sent the list with $20 himself, and yesteryear announced he had the amount raised. A fine fat steer, four sheep, six bull’s heads, 200 pounds of bean loaves of bread, tortillas by the red and other delicacies will be in his own orchard a tree which seems to fill the bill. This tree produced 200 pounds of nuts last year, and seemed to have very little blight. Grafts from this tree will be taken and attached to the trees that blight. The work will be done by an experienced nurseryman from the north who has made an especial study of this method of ridding orchards of the blight. Mr. Neff has been in correspondence with the agricultural experiment station of the university concerning a competent man to do the grafting, and goes north next week to investigate the subject further. On his return announcement will be made of the time of beginning the work, and he desires all walnut growers to come and inspect the operation. A number of growers throughout Southern California have grafted a single tree with resistant stock, but Mr. Neff will work over ten acres of his orchard at once. If the grafts prove successful, and of this he has no doubt, he will graft a larger area next year, and continue until his entire orchard has been reset with new growth. He expects these ten acres of grafted trees will in four years produce three times the quantity of nuts than the trees now covering the tract. These trees have been carefully attended to since being set out. They have had cover crops and fertilizers according to scientific treatment and have made an excellent growth, yet they annually shed half their crop. The tree in the orchard which shows resistant qualities came from the same nursery and was planted at the same time. However, it is a fact well established by experience, that different varieties of nut trees are produced from nuts taken from the same tree. This will undoubtedly be the largest area grafted in any walnut orchard in the state, and has already attracted widespread attention in various sections. The operation will take place in March, and due notice will be given so that growers may witness the process. A Lost Circus The Great American circus failed to appear on Thursday, to the unutterable chagrin of an army of small boys, eager to witness the balloon ascension and to negotiate for water-carrying privileges. Mr. Crowther this week circular petition for signatures to a fund $300, which he will raise to defray expenses of the celebration. He said the list with $20 himself, and yesteryear announced he had the amount raised. A fine fat steer, four sheep, six bull’s heads, 200 pounds of beef loaves of bread, tortillas by the red, and other delicacies will be provided. The meats will be baked pits in the ground over night, and feast will be spread at the base of dam which confines the great body water in the reservoir. A large vass covering will be provided; speeches will be made by men of minence in the community and where. Those who have already accepted invitations to make brief dresses are Mr. Melrose of this Judge Richard Egan of San Juan gineer Kellogg of Santa Ana, Chapman of Fullerton, and Jamie Schuyler of Los Angeles and others. The Anaheim brass band will hand and render musical selections during the day, and a gala time will be published in our next issue. The reservoir cost upward of $150 and the inlet and outlet ditches necting pipe lines, will cost $300. The reservoir covers 51 acres and fifty-million cubic feet of water. Filled largely by flood waters would otherwise escape, and is fed by both the large upper ditches longing to the company. It will ish a stream of 400 inches of water ing 12 hours each day for four months of the irrigating season, and does with night irrigation in this vicinity. As water is valued at $1000 per inch Southern California, the value of reservoir is at once apparent. The organization of the colony in night irrigation has been practiced southside irrigators; that is to say water run is continuous during the irrigating season, day and night those shareholders whose turn at night have to take the water on arrival. Now the night flow enrol into the reservoir from the upper heim canal, to be conveyed to its cement ditches the following year. A Lost Circus The Great American circus failed to appear on Thursday, to the unutterable chagrin of an army of small boys, eager to witness the balloon ascension and negotiate for water-carrying privileges. Others not so young in years who gathered to see the circus train pull in expressed the conviction that the circus had gone up in the balloon, and that the parachute had not been in good working order. From all reports as to the character of the "circus," the kids as well as the older people did not miss much. The show is understood to be a part of the Norris & Rowe outfit now wintering at Santa Cruz, the performers being a number of people connected with that outfit. Before noon it was learned the show failed to keep its appointment at Ocean-side, where it had advertised to appear the preceding day, and those on the inside said it was all off for the kids. Inquiry at the railroad offices elicited the information that the circus was nowhere in these southern latitudes, and the impression prevailes that it went up in that balloon, which also failed to appear. The Home gas company of this city and Fullerton has filed with the county clerk a $50,000 trust deed to C. S. McWhorter. Six per cent gold bonds will be issued by the company for extension of its service.

GRO Burglars Busy Burglars broke into the Palace meat market Monday night and abstracted between $3 and $4 from the cash register. They affected an entrance from a rear door, the wire screen being cut and the inside fastening released. They also attempted to enter the saloon of N. Hart. adjoining the market, but a rear iron door prevented them from entering. The other screen of the rear door was cut and the fastening raised. The glass in the transom over the inner door was broken. Inside they came in contact with a large iron door, which barred their progress. When Wm. Schumacher and Fred Schneider entered the market early on Tuesday morning they noticed the rear door standing open. Investigation of the cash register showed it had been rifled of its contents. A step ladder which had undoubtedly been used in the attempt to enter the transom over Hart's rear door, was seen leaning against the east wall of the refrigerating room, whereas it had been left the evening before on the opposite side of the room. The screen of the door leading into Hart's yard had been cut and the fastening raised. The men who did the job were well acquainted with the premises. The thieves took no meat or sausage from the market. They probably made their exit through the rear yard. Two Cases of Smallpox The seven-year-old daughter of Geo. Hatfield, who lives at the corner of West and Sycamore streets, is afflicted with smallpox, the attack being a light one. The house is under quarantine. Health Officer Beebe is in charge of the case. The little girl with her younger sister had recently returned from Los Angeles where it is supposed, the disease was contracted. Both girls during several days before the breaking out of the disease played with children about the neighborhood but neither West and Sycamore streets, is afflicted with smallpox, the attack being a light one. The house is under quarantine. Health Officer Beebe is in charge of the case. The little girl with her younger sister had recently returned from Los Angeles where it is supposed the disease was contracted. Both girls during several days before the breaking out of the disease played with children about the neighborhood but neither attended school. A case of smallpox exists at the Deuel residence, opposite the Fullerton grammar school, and the school has been dismissed. The patient is a brother of Deuel who contracted the disease on the train while en route to this state. The case is a serious one. Precautions should be taken to prevent a spread of the contagion. The Johnson family of Villa Park have all been down with the disease and have recovered. Some of the family have moved to this city and are now residing here. The Seventh regiment will elect a colonel on Saturday evening to succeed Col. S. H. Finley of Santa Ana, who has declined an offer of re-election. The election will be held in Los Angeles. Col. W. G. Schrieber is a candidate for the office, and has the support of the city companies. The country companies, which are in the majority, are said to favor the election of Capt. Mitchell of Riverside. Capt. Stern and Lieuts. Kellenberger and Selinger of Company E will attend the meeting at which the regiment's commanding officer will be chosen. Zette.
