The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR...$1.50 SIX MONTHS ...$1.00 THREE MONTHS ...$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. EDITOR CRAWFORD RESIGNS Announcement is made that a shake-up occurred at a meeting of the stockholders of the Anaheim Daily Herald last Friday, and that a radical change was made in the managing force of the business. It is not stated whether dissatisfaction with the management developed among the members of the family party, or whether the men in control since the birth of the paper a year and a half ago, grew dissatisfied with their jobs and voluntarily quit. Thomas Crawford, managing editor of the paper, and member of the board of directors, handed in his resignation as editor, also as member of the board of directors, and retires from active participation in the management, although he states in his valedictory that he still retains a keen interest in its future career. Charles Eygabroad and A. Nagel at the same time gave up their places as members of the directorate, but no reason for their retirement is made public. Mr. Eygabroad was elected president when the company was organized, and was re-elected at the annual meeting two months ago. He is understood to have been, with Mr. Nagel, one of the financial backers of the paper. The three vacancies caused by the resignation of Messrs. Crawford, Eygabroad and Nagel on the directorate A NEW GOVERNMENT MOTION PICTURE MARVEL A new motion picture wonder has just reached the government's exhibit at the fair at San Francisco. It shows the forest fire which burned to the very edge of the town of Sisson, California, last year, as well as the fire which, originating in town a few days after the forest fire had been fought out, spread from house to house until 19 buildings had been consumed. In this day, when the appearance of movie marvels is an event of every day occurrence, it takes a very unusual film to attract special attention. The Sisson fire film is accomplishing it. The two films have been placed together so that the picture as a whole is graphic presentation of the origin of a forest fire from a glowing match thrown away by a careless hunter, its progress through the forest its approach to a town, and its culmination in the town's destruction. The work of the forest service in fighting the fire is also pictured, the discovery of the fire by the guard at the lookout tower, the spread of the alarm, the rush to the fire, telephoning for more help by means of the portable phone, the building of a fire trail and the setting of a backfire, combatting the flames, first aid to the injured, and the work of the commissary department. This film and others of activities on the national forests are being shown and lectured upon daily in the government theatre, palace of liberal arts. STATE IN REAL ESTATE BUSINESS After August 8 the state will have the power to go into the real estate business on a large scale, the scale to be determined by the demands for the unsold school lands, which now are members of the directorate, but no reason for their retirement is made public. Mr. Eygabroad was elected president when the company was organized, and was re-elected at the annual meeting two months ago. He is understood to have been, with Mr. Nagel, one of the financial backers of the paper. The three vacancies caused by the resignation of Messrs. Crawford, Eygabroad and Nagel on the directorate were filled by the election of Robert Johnston, E. C. Shumway, and W. C. Murdoch, all employees of the office. The two old members remaining on the board are J. P. Baumgartner and George M. Ross. The newly-constructed board organized by electing Johnston president and Ross secretary, Johnston will also probably be chief in the editorial rooms. In their declaration of principles the newly-constituted authorities announce that the policy of the paper will not be changed, but that it will continue to advocate the doctrines of the former management and follow the pathway marked out by its founders. Mr. Crawford is an experienced and capable newspaper man, and during his management of the paper has worked hard for its success. He has been in editorial control, and has shaped its editorial policy from its beginning. He made the statement at the outset that he was satisfied the paper would not be a financial success during the first years of its existence. He has probably learned that his expectations were realized as to this important matter, and retires to his ranch on Orangethorpe avenue, where he will in the future reside. The new men in control of the paper are employees of the office, who have been with the paper for several months past. The paper has not been financially successful since its founding, and according to reports stockholders have been called upon to dig up numerous assessments to keep the sheet alive. BIG SHOW COMING Anaheim is to be visited by a real life sensation on Sunday, July 4th, at the Anaheim Opera house and a capacity business will no doubt be enjoyed. The management has secured as a special attraction the big musical comedy hit The Movie Stars, a company composed of over twenty well-known screen actors. This film and others of activities on the national forests are being shown and lectured upon daily in the government theatre, palace of liberal arts. STATE IN REAL ESTATE BUSINESS After August 8 the state will have the power to go into the real estate business on a large scale, the scale to be determined by the demands for the unsold school lands, which now are withdrawn from sale, but again will be open to entry. This enabling act was passed by the last legislature, and through its operation 50,000 acres of land will be opened for entry. This sale will not be a wholesale, cheap land-giving or land-grabbing affair. The sales must be to the highest bidder at public auction. They probably will be sold at the court house of the county in which the particular land lies, and the people will have due notice through advertisements of the time and place. Surveyor Generay Kingsbury will have complete charge of such sales. He is intrusted by the state to see that the lands bring fair prices, and that the people get an equal show in securing such tracts as they desire. He also has the power to withhold from sale lands containing forest cover protection to water sheds or valuable reservoir sites. THE CITRUS MARKETS The Fruit World in its review of the citrus situation says: The Valencia market is very strong with prices satisfactory. Figuring all sales, from the highest to the lowest averages received shows Valencias bringing around $2.55 f. o.b. average. The demand is good and the Valoncias are giving universal satisfaction. "The only feature in the Valencia deal that is at all troublesome is sizes, there being a heavy supply of small sizes to contend with. Outside of this, the situation as regards Valencias is exceedingly pleasing to all concerned, with every prospect of a continued good market. Latest estimates indicate that there are between 5,000 and 5,500 carloads of Valencias remaining to be shipped. The lemon market is dead.

Marple, aged 53, wife of H.M.Marple, a bookkeeper of the Fullerton Oil company in Brea, who was found unconscious by her husband Thursday and died Sunday morning is thought to be a possible suicide. Mrs. Marple's death was caused by veronal, a drug which she was in the habit of taking for nervousness. She had suffered for years with her nerves and frequently took veronal in order that she might sleep. On one or two previous occasions she had taken overdoses, however without serious result, and this time there was no suspicion that the act had been intentional. Mr. Marple, who had been away from home Thursday, returned to the house about 11:30 p.m., and found his wife on the floor, unconscious. She lingered until 10:30 a.m., Sunday before death took place, never having regained consciousness. The death was viewed as accidental until the discovery of a note in a small memorandum book belonging to Mrs.Marple.

Dr.J.C.Osher who was recently fined $100 in superior court for practicing dentistry without a license and who declared his attention of carrying the matter to the appellate court, has accepted the decision of the lower court.The doctor is a licensed physician and claimed that as such he had a right to practice dentistry.The court held otherwise and fined him $100 which he deposited with County Clerk Williams, who held it subject to the appeal.The thirty days allowed for appealing the case have passed without action on his part and the money has been turned over to the state. Charles Conliff has the contract for the mason and cement work in the new Ziegler hotel, work upon which will soon begin.The old structure has been razed to make way for the modern hotel structure.The fact that Contractor Conliff has charge of the brickwork it is a foregone conclusion that the building will be first class in every respect.The building will be three stories,and perhaps four,but in any event a magnificent addition to that rapidly growing section of the city.The plans are beautiful and when completed the hotel will be one of the finest in Southern California. An automobile containing two young men and two young ladies drove up to the main entrance of the county court house Saturday evening after everyone had left but the jailer. where he will officiate in his capacity as deputy state warden.He will be located at the head waters of the Owens river,and will guard the fish and game of that region.He will be absent three months and will return in time to officiate as game warden here during the duck season.

Robert McKee was in town from his eastside ranch Wednesday.He reports that the walnut crop is in excellent condition and the yield will be very large.He recently lost two trees by reason of the growing nuts being so heavy as to break down the branches. Shall Orange county be infested with auto speed maniacs, or shall it, through the appointment of an adequate corps of speed officers,be made law abiding and a safe and sane place for pedestrians,and careful autoists to travel?This question was to have been brought up at the meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Garden Grove last night.Before again putting on duty its force of speed cops,the supervisors have requested an expression of the people,and the recommendation of the associated chambers will have some weight in governing the decision of the board as to the matter. The Modern Woodmen of Orange county gathered at Orange Monday evening for the adoption of a county class of candidates.Lodges from Fullerton,Anaheim,Garden Grove,Santa Ana and Orange were represented,about eighty-five Woodmen being present.The adoption was followed by the appointment of a committee consisting from one member from each of the lodges to arrange for regular meetings similar to the one Monday night,to be held every one or two months.The business of the evening was followed by a delicious banquet and the meeting closed with pleasant social features. result, and this time there was no suspicion that the act had been intentional. Mr. Marple, who had been away from home Thursday, returned to the house about 11:30 p.m. and found his wife on the floor, unconscious. She lingered until 10:30 a.m. Sunday before death took place, never having regained consciousness. The death was viewed as accidental until the discovery of a note in a small memorandum book belonging to Mrs. Marple. The note was in her handwriting and requested that her bank account be given to her brother Walter. This led to the theory of suicide and Coroner Winbigler held an informal inquest, nothing further being brought to light. The coroner's verdict assigned death to veronal polsoning but no mention was made of suicide. The belief is general, however, that Mrs. Marple's act was intentional though there seems to be no actual proof. Last June a total of 142 licenses of the marrying kind were recorded in the county clerk's office. The first of this month a steady pace and something better than an average of 5 per day for days when the courthouse was open has been maintained. The total up to Tuesday morning was 134. If Cupld kept up the average until last night a new record is the result. Clerk Williams says he knows of four or five couples that he thinks ought to be willing to come in at the last moment and set a new mark. The Young People's Alliance of the Evangelical church were entertained Friday evening by Mr. and Mrs. Emil Dlemke. The gathering was for the purpose of electing officers for the coming year also to celebrate the birthday of Miss Theresa Siewert, the retiring president. A welner bake was one of the features of the entertainment. An automobile containing two young men and two young ladies drove up to the main entrance of the county court house Saturday evening after everyone had left but the janitor. One of the men appeared to be bantering one of the ladies to marry him and she finally consented. As County Clerk Williams had gone home the janitor obligingly gave them his address, stating that Williams was always willing to work overtime to assist the little god of love... The party left with the address but failed to call on the county clerk, neither did they show up at the homes of Cupld Joe Backs or Deputy Al Hitchcock. The question now puzzling all the officials is, did they go elsewhere for a license or did the young lady get cold feet and refuse to marry? Mrs. May Polhemus Cox and her daughter, Miss May Cayce have been guests of the former's grandfather, John Hanna, Esq., of Miraflores, for some days past. The ladies rode on horseback from Mrs. Cox's ranch at Paso Robles a distance of 300 miles to this city, making the journey in four days... They will ride to Victorville this week, and will visit with friends there, when they will ride to Teachichlpl, where they will visit Mrs. Cox's sister. They will later return to their home in San Luis Obispo county, where Mrs. Cox is an extensive grower of wheat and other cereals. She was formerly a well-known society belle of this section, and has many friends in this city who were delighted to meet with her and her charming daughter again.

THE SQUASH VINE BORER How the Borers Work, Detecting the Borer, Methods of Combating Comparatively few farmers or gardeners have grown squashes or pumpkins without at times finding their potential crop prospects greatly reduced by the squash vine borer. Often it is difficult to tell just what troubles the vine, as when the small larvae first enter the stems of the plant their presence is not apparent. However, they can later be located by the course yellowish excrement which they force from their burrows in the stems and which accumulate on the ground beneath. The squash vine borer, however is not long active before the leaves suddenly wilt and die down. The presence of the larvae in the stems causes rot to develop at the affected points and the vine soon becomes severed from its root. From Office Phones: Home 753-1 Bell Sunset 341-J. Res. 125 E.

Anaheim, Cal. have ravaged, the fields should not be replanted the succeeding year to the crops on which the borer lives. Good results have often been obtained by planting as a trap crop, as early as possible, a few summer squashes such as crooked neck or early cymilings, between the rows of the main crop of the late varieties. The summer squashes attract the borers in such numbers as to leave a much smaller number to deal with on the late or main crop. As soon as the early crop is harvested, or earlier, if the ground is needed for the main crop, the summer squashes and vines are raked up and burned to destroy all larvae which they may harbor. The same treatment is followed after gathering the late varieties. This method has proved profitable where used in New Jersey, and should produce good results farther north. In the south where well-defined broods of borers appear, it may not be so efficient, but is worthy of a thorough test. The borer may be greatly reduced in numbers by lightly harrowing the infested fields in the fall, so as to bring the cocoons to the surface where they will be exposed to the elements, and then plowing in the spring to a uniform depth of at least 6 inches, so that the pupae will be prevented from working their way out. Another cultural method which tends to restrict damage is to cover a small part of the vines after they have attained some length, with earth so that secondary roots will be sent out to support the plants in case the main root is injured by the borer. Still another aid is keeping the plants in good condition, free from other insects and disease, and well nourished. When the vines are so badly in- first enter the stems of the plant their presence is not apparent. However, they can later be located by the course yellowish excrement which they force from their burrows in the stems and which accumulate on the ground beneath. The squash vine borer, however is not long active before the leaves suddenly wilt and die down. The presence of the larvae in the stems causes rot to develop at the affected points and the vine soon becomes severed from its root. From one to a half dozen or more larvae may inhabit a stem, and often upward of 40 have been taken from a single plant. The vines of squash and pumpkin form the chief diet of this insect, but occasionally it attacks also the gourd, muskmelon, and cucumber. However it does not infest melons and cucumbers when the preferred crops are available. The feeding of the larvae is not restricted to any particular part of the plants, but they bore through the stems from the roots to the base of the leaves and through the leaf stalks. The young larvae may even be found in the larger veins of the leaves or in the fruits themselves. The greatest injury is often worked to the Hubbard squash, the Marrow cymlings and other late varieties. The devastations of the borer are likely to be more acutely felt in small gardens than in large market plantings. Frequently the farmer or gardner loses a part or all of his crop year after year. This is particularly true where the same ground is planted in successive years to pumpkin, squash or other crops which the borers infest. The squash vine borer is exceptionally difficult to control, as ordinary insecticides are of no value after the insect has once entered the vines, and repellents are also practically useless. Since the insects pass the winter in the fields which they Another cultural method which tends to restrict damage is to cover a small part of the vines after they have attained some length, with earth so that secondary roots will be sent out to support the plants in case the main root is injured by the borer. Still another aid is keeping the plants in good condition, free from other insects and disease, and well nourished. When the vines are so badly infested as to be incapable of bearing fruit, they usually die at once, and should be promptly taken off the field and burned. As soon as the crop is gathered, the old vines should be destroyed. The old time remedy of cutting the borers out of the vines, although laborous, is useful. It is about the only method open for employment after the borers have entered the vines. As several individuals often infest a single vine, it is best to cut longitudinally so as not to sever the vine from the root stalk. The wound will heal more quickly if covered with moist soil. The location of the borer in the vine may be readily detected by the accumulation of yellow frass or excrement at the point where it is working. The parent of this insect is a beautiful medium sized moth. The forewings are opaque, lustrous, olive brown in color, with metallic green extremities, and extend from less than an inch to nearly an inch and a half. The hind wings are transparent and veined. The abdomen is conspicuously marked with orange or red, black and bronze, and the hind legs are fringed with long hairs. These moths are not generally recognized as the parents of this pernicious borer. Further information on the squash vine borer is given in Farmers' Bulletin No. 668, The Squash Vine Borer, published by the department of agriculture.
