IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO Items of Local Interest Culled from the Files of Former Issues of This Paper 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK From Gazette of March 28, 1874. On last Saturday afternoon, a youth who for some time past has been in the employment of H. D. Polhemus, decamped with a number of valuable articles during the temporary absence of the family from the house. Among the articles stolen were a gold watch, which was an heirloom in the family and highly prized by its owner, a rifle, horse saddle blankets, etc. A search was made for him by officers but so far he has successfully eluded pursuit. Los Angeles claims the first shipment of the spring wool clip. P. Davis and Bro. have already shipped 300 bales of wool of this spring's clip, and intend shipping as many more as are offered them for sale. Philip Davis, the senior member of the firm, intends leaving in a short time for New York, for the purpose of disposing of his present purchases, amounting to nearly one-half million pounds. Charlie Hille picked up a human skull on Anaheim Landing road a few days ago. He supposes it to belong to the serving man of Harry Polhemus. So many skulls, belonging to that unfortunate individual have been bed is calculated to awaken the sympathies of a cucumber and draw tears from the eyes of a potatoe. Married—Goujet-Casseau.

T. L. Duque, the well known Los Angeles banker, owner of the Del Campo property was in town for a short visit yesterday afternoon. A SQUIRREL HUNT ed. The first method is effective when properly done, but is comparatively slow. The generally used poison compound is strychnine and saccharine, sifted on prepared vegetable baits. The baits are then carefully introduced into the gopher runways, located by means of a probe, and the probe opening afterwards closed. One man can cover several acres of average gopher infested ground in a day with this method. The horticultural commissioner is made responsible by law for the institution and prosecution of rodent control, but with the small force of inspectors available and an area of 4200 miles to cover, it is obvious that chief reliance must be placed upon individual ranchers and upon community organizations such as the farm bureau. DANCE HALL SQUELCHED Following arguments for and against the banishment of Warren Doberry's dance hall at La Habra, the board of supervisors took under advisement the petition recently filed by La Habra citizens asking that the dance hall license be revoked. No date for announcing their decision had been set. Supporters of the petition testified before the supervisors regarding conditions obliged to exist in the vicinity of the dance hall. Drinking, immorality and boisterous conduct holds sway on the nights that dance crowds assemble, they declared. On the other hand, it was shown that Deberry conducts the dance hall itself in an orderly manner and the objectionable features were outside of his premises. District Attorney A. P. Nelson addressed the board, urging that the license be revoked. He conceded the orderly conduct of the dance hall itself and admitted that Deberry was knew nothing of the opposition's attitude until the petition was filed with the board. "I'll admit that I wouldn't want such conditions existing near my home" McFadden said. "And what's more, I'd see that they didn't exist more than about a minute," he added grimly. "It seems to me these people might have tried to help themselves a little before coming here. At least they should have gone to Deberry first." Nelson challenged the influence that Deberry had not been warned regarding conditions and the sentiment of the community. The matter has been brought up before and called to his attention, Nelson said. If you expect to be married long, better not be married "short." TIME TABLE A. T. & S. F. RR..

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT In and For the County of Orange. A SQUIRREL HUNT A dry year invariably presages unusual damage to crops and plants by rodents, particularly ground squirrels, gophers and rabbits, and the writer therefore wishes to urge emphatically that prompt control measures be instituted at this time by individuals and communities over the entire county. Numerous reports indicate that a shortage of wild or natural food is causing rodents to concentrate upon and around cultivated areas, and past experience demonstrated that unless they are exterminated they will undoubtedly cause serious losses. Not only will trees, vegetables, grain and forage plants be destroyed if rodents are allowed to work unchecked but the actual damage will be greater by reason of the scarcity and higher value of these crops in a dry year. Although seasons of low rainfall, such as this, stimulate rodent attacks against cultivated crops, they also have an advantage in that the animals will more readily take poisoned baits during such periods. This is especially true of squirrels and rabbits. Gophers are more difficult to poison at this time because the soil increases the difficulty of placing the baits. It should also be remembered that this is the breeding season and every squirrel, rabbit and gopher killed now will prevent large increases in the rodent population. Both ground squirrels and rabbits are eagerly taking poisoned grain, no wild grain being obtainable. This is the best possible method of killing squirrels, although it is not ordinarily very effective against rabbits. In practice poisoned barley is well scattered on the hard places around the squirrel holes on the trails, and around rock piles frequented by them. It should never be placed in their burrows or in piles. Bunches of alfalfa soaked in water and sprinkled with gopher poison (strychnine and saccharine) may be scattered in the rabbit runs towards evening and this with what poisoned grain they pick attraction on the streets of Santa Ana yesterday. John L.'s theatrical combination showed at the county seat last night. John tried to drink up all of the Bass ale in town. T. L. Duque, the well known Los Angeles banker, owner of the Del Campo property was in town for a short visit yesterday afternoon. A district Attorney A. P. Nelson addressed the board, urging that the license be revoked. He conceded the orderly conduct of the dance hall itself and admitted that Deberry was willing to cooperate as far as he could to maintain order and decency, but expressed the belief that the situation was beyond Deberry's control. He argued that the dance hall attracted the objectionable crowd there and said that the only way the situation could be eliminated was by closing the dance hall. Speaking in defense of Deberry, Attorney T. L. McFadden charged that the motive behind the protest against the dance hall, partly at least, was opposition to dancing itself. This antagonism to dancing was cloaked he declared, behind the protest against surrounding conditions. The petitioners, he declared, had taken the wrong way of protesting. They should have first placed the matter before Deberry and allowed him opportunity to rectify conditions. McFadden said, before appealing to the supervisors, Deberry, he stated. NOTICE INVITING BIDS Santa Ana, Cal., March 21, 1924. In pursuance of a resolution of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, California, adopted March 11th, 1924, directing this notice. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the said Board will receive at its office at the Court House at Santa Ana, or before the hour of 11 o'clock A.M. of April 8, 1924, sealed bids or proposals for the grading and graveling of portions of East Street (Raymond Avenue). North Street (La Palma Avenue) and Broad Street. Bids must be made on the form provided for the purpose, addressed to the Board of Supervisors, Orange County, California, marked "Bid for the Grading and Graveling of East Street, North Street and Broad Street." The work to be done in accordance with the profiles, plans and specifications adopted by the Board of Supervisors, on file in the office of said Board and in the office of the County Superintendent of Highways in the Court House. The bidder must submit with his proposal a satisfactory check certified by a responsible bank and payable to the order of the County of Orange, or a bidder's bond for an squirrels, although it is not ordinarily very effective against rabbits. In practice poisoned barley is well scattered on the hard places around the squirrel holes on the trails, and around rock piles frequented by them. It should never be placed in their burrows or in piles. Bunches of alfalfa soaked in water and sprinkled with gopher poison (strychnine and saccharine) may be scattered in the rabbit runs towards evening and this with what poisoned grain they pick up will destroy many of them. In many sections, it should be said, rabbits have proved to be almost if not quite as serious pests as squirrels during the past season. It will be absolutely necessary this year to protect many plantings of young fruit trees from jack rabbits. This can be done by rabbit fencing the orchard (expensive and not always practicable) by using protectors on the trunks or by poisoning the bark. The latter method is promising in that it does away with the rabbits, which the two first mentioned do not. The poison wash formula will be supplied upon request. The strychnine contained in it will kill the rabbits before much injury can be done to the tree bark, of which they are very fond. In some sections where for various reasons it is not desired to poison squirrels or where an alternative method is desired, they can be exterminated by means of a poison gas. Calcium cyanide flakes, about two ounces to a dose are introduced down a squirrel hole by means of a long spoon. The cyanide coming in contact with the soil moisture forms a gas that penetrates every part of the burrow. The cost of treatment averages about two cents a hole. Gophers may be trapped or poisoned. The work to be done in accordance with the profiles, plans and specifications adopted by the Board of Supervisors, on file in the office of said Board and in the office of the County Superintendent of Highways in the Court House. The bidder must submit with his proposal a satisfactory check certified by a responsible bank and payable to the order of the County of Orange, or a bidder's bond for an amount not less than five (5) per cent of the aggregate sum of the bid, as a guarantee that the bidder will enter into the proposed contract if the same is awarded to him, and in event of failure to enter into such contract said check or bond shall become the property of the County. The amount of the bond to be given to secure a faithful performance of the contract for said work shall be twenty-five (25) per cent of the contract price thereof, and an additional bond in an amount equal to fifty (50) per cent of the contract price for said work shall be given to secure the payment of claims for any material or supplies furnished for the performance of the work contracted to be done by the contractor, or any work or labor, or any kind done thereon, and also will be required to furnish a certificate that he carries compensation insurance covering his employees upon work to be done under contract which may be entered into between him and the said County for the building of said road. Copies will be furnished intending bidders upon application to the County Superintendent of Highways of said County for which a deposit of three dollars ($3.00) will be required, same to be returned on the filing of bid, and the return of plans and specifications. The Board of Supervisors reserves the right to reject any and all bids. By order of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, State of California. J. M. BACKS, (Seal) County Clerk. Puh.

During that week the librarian of nearly every county in California will be prepared to receive gifts of books to be placed on board shipping vessels for use of members of their crews. Readable books of general interest are desired Fiction, adventure, history, travel, biography, popular science, etc. are the subjects that seamen like best. Ship libraries, during leisure hours, are used generally by men of the merchant marine and it is the aim of the California Library Association to make such libraries available, wherever possible, to sailors who visit Pacific Ports. These men are responsible for the lives of hundreds of thousands of travellers and to them we entrust our richest cargoes. They are deserving of the landsman's recognition and Book Week for Sailors provides an opportunity for rendering this slight service to the men of the sea. County librarians will be able to give complete information concerning instructions for gathering and shipping books for distribution aboard ships. Santa Ana Monumental Works BEN P.
