Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. A NOTABLE ENTERPRISE We hope our readers will peruse carefully the article published on another page referring to the approaching visit here of the scientists of the agricultural college of the state university on the demonstration train. We hope they have read the articles which have already appeared in reference to this enterprise. The articles have been especially prepared for this journal, having been contributed by the agricultural department of the university. We regard them as the most important contributions of the literature of the time that have appeared in print in years. The demonstration train may be likened to an advance army operating against the predacious pests which threaten the many branches of our agricultural and horticultural science. These pests are breaking for tall timber in California, and even in the topmost recesses of our forests they are not altogether free from attack. We all remember the white scale, which a number of years ago menaced with total annihilation the citrus groves of the state. Then the vedalia cardinalis was imported from the islands of the far-east, and the Oregon FOR THE SHIP BILL Legislature Asks Government to establish Pacific Steamship Line The legislature of Oregon has leaked behind the McLachlan bill, has asked the federal government to establish a steamship line on the cific, to be operated in conjunction with the Panama railroad and line already established on the lantic. A memorial to congress, said to have been prepared, in part at least, the state railroad commission of egon, has been adopted by the islature of that state, which follows: "Whereas, there is great need transportation competition on the cific coast by way of the Isthmus Panama, for the use and benefit the producers and consumers of entire Pacific coast, and "Whereas, the government of United States has established an maintaining from points on the lantic coast to the city of Colon, the Isthmus of Panama, a line steamships, operated in connection with the Panama railroad, there be it Resolved—First, that your muralists favor the extension, and early a date as possible, of the vice now established, and in operation from New York to Colon, the Pacific coast points, in order to relief both rates and in addition facilities may be afforded to the manufacturers, merchants and products of the Pacific coast. Second, that we favor the age of the bill introduced ingress by Representative McLachlan. threaten the many branches of our agricultural and horticultural science. These pests are breaking for tall timber in California, and even in the topmost recesses of our forests they are not altogether free from attack. We all remember the white scale, which a number of years ago menaced with total annihilation the citrus groves of the state. Then the vedalia cardinalis was imported from the islands of the far-east, and the dreaded pest was placed under instant subjugation. That one parasite saved citrus growers millions of dollars. The melon growers of the Imperial valley were sorely beset by an aphis which wrought ruin in their fields. The demonstration train liberated thousands of lady birds, and the melon plantations were saved. So it goes all along the line. Pests must be, and are being exterminated. Knowledge is power, and in nothing more so than in agriculture and horticulture. The scientists with the train are among the foremost in the country—probably most advanced of any country on earth. Our farmers should meet them and learn from them the most approved methods of improving their condition. The scientists will be in Anaheim in a week or two. We hope they will be met by all our orchardists. Later details will appear in this paper regarding the time and place of their visit. California is the greatest horticultural and agricultural region on earth. Here also are the pests which seem to be inseparable from civilization. We have them, but are subjugating them. There are scores of other dread pests of horticulture. These are being excluded from our shores by the most rigorous methods of quarantine that have ever been employed by any section of the world. Let us meet these men and become better acquainted with them. Let us acquire wisdom from their words, to the end that we may be better able to withstand the annoyances which beset us. THE RUSH TO CALIFORNIA Should the colonist traffic to Californias present rate early a date as possible, of the vice now established, and in operation from New York to Colon, to Pacific coast points, in order to relief both rates and in addition facilities may be afforded to the manufacturers, merchants and producers of the Pacific coast. Second, that we favor the age of the bill introduced in progress by Representative McLaurie of California, having for its purpose the establishing and operating through line of steamers in connection with the Panama railroad all Atlantic coast points. Third, that in the event this found impracticable, or that it will be unusual delay, we favor establishment of an American ocean and American manned line of ships between all Atlantic and Pacific coast ports, said line to be ted in its establishment and tenance by the department of general government in all ways. Fourth, that this memorial be warneded to our senators and representatives in congress, with the reason that they present the same, and they exert all possible efforts to the wishes of this state carried out. MADAME MODJESKA Madame Helena Modjeska, the mous Polish actress, is lying ally ill at her residence at Bayland, Newport bay, and anxiety felt for her recovery. Madame Modjeska has been a sufferer of Bright's disease and a fortnight complications of heart failure vened. Physicians are in constant attendance, and Count Bozenta is stantly at her bedside. Last Bishop Conaty visited her, and a result her condition showed imment and she was cheerful on the day. Yesterday word was read that she had rallied from illness and continued to improve. Madame Modjeska has been ed upon her memoirs, which were published in an eastern magazine will later appear in book form. The distinguished actress, panied by her husband, Count THE RUSH TO CALIFORNIA Should the colonist traffic to California continue at the present rate officials of the transcontinental roads at Chicago say the daily average for March and April will be 678 passengers, or 41,358 for the entire movement. During the spring of 1905 this movement amounted to 39,000 persons in the following year it was 33,000; in 1907 there were 48,000 persons who took advantage of the low rates to get to the Pacific coast, and last year there were 23,500, the depressed times serving to keep people at home. The spring of 1907 was the best in the history of the country. Last year the roads increased the rate, and this action also had the effect of reducing the amount of travel. This year the roads have lowered the rate to the basis of 1907, and the effect has been that the entire movement promises to be nearly double that of last year. The Supreme Lodge of the Fraternal Brotherhood is in session this week in Los Angeles. This district is represented by J. T. Edmunds of Long Beach with Mrs. Helene Galbraith of Santa Ana as alternate, and W. H. Warfield of San Diego whose alternate is Mrs. Boyd of the Anaheim lodge.

The new town is owned by Fred Hinze and Henry Hinze and the map is simply accepted by the supervisors as to the official platting, but not as to county roads. Bids for printing fifteen thousand tax receipts and fifteen thousand duplicate bills, were received as follows: Worden printing company $189.75; Orange News $210.; Register publishing company $174.60; Edgar Johnson $289, with volume number. The map of the Balboa bay tract was submitted to the board for acceptance, but no action was taken, and the supervisors as a committee of the whole with the district attorney and county surveyor will view the tract and report March 25. The city of Huntington Beach was allowed its pro rata of the road money due that portion of its territory formerly included in the Newhope road district, and a resolution to that effect was duly passed and adopted. A map of the South Placentia tract, owned by John C. Leonard and containing 150 acres, more or less, was accepted as to the official platting, but not as to county roads. The property is laid out in five and ten acre tracts. ESTATE OF MRS. REAGAN ESTATE OF MRS. REAGAN In a will filed this week, Mrs. Julia N. Reagan, who died on March 18, stipulates that she relinquishes to her husband, M. F. Reagan of Los Alamitos, all claim to forty acres at that place and two lots at Long Beach which she says was community property, provided he does not interfere in the distribution of the remainder of the property. Mrs. Reagan claimed $11,000 worth of property as in her own right and practically all of that she leaves to her daughters, Mrs. Elsie N. Longacre of Los Alamitos and Mrs. Emma L. Banta of Oakland. W. S.C. ollins has purchased the steam dredger belonging to the Bolsa Chica gun club and has a large force of men at work taking it across the Pacific Electric track to the ocean where it will be towed to the coast and brought to the bay. The first use to which the dredger will be put will be filling up Balboa island or Collins island as it is generally called. A sea wall will be built around this island and the sand dredged in behind the wall the same as Bay island. WELCOME RAINFALL Bountiful Crops Assured by Timely Precipitation Rain to the amount of 2.60 inches, according to Mr. Dickel's gauge, fell on Sunday and Monday.
