tine Guardian of Los Nietos District. was
in town on Thursday. Mr. Coffman has
been making thorough examinatio.,
and will report to the Supervisors that
his district, comprising an area of sixty
square miles, is comparatively free from
insect pests. Only few isolated cases
of white and red scale have come to his
notice, and they have been treated with
the usual remedies. Mr. Cnfman re-
ports that the citrus groves of his district
are remarkably thrifty, and that no fears
are entertained by the growers of infec-
tion of either of those deadly parasites -

The Pomona cannery has about
seventy-five and the Pasadena cannery
about the same number of persons en-
ployed. Next week it is our intention
to give write up'' of the Cotton can
merry and let people see what it really is. 1t
employs more persons and pays out more
money than both the canneries mem
toned, and two more like them. 1t is
one of the solid and progressive iDstitu-
tions of Southern California and credit
to the whole State. The branch asylum
and the Court House added to it will
constitute our triumvirate. With such q
trinity of factors, wealth and population
would be massed here to such an extent
as to pewilder the pessimist and silurian.

III. M. Van Arman, Travelling Passen-
ger and Immigration Agent of the
Southern Pacific Company, has just re-
turned from an eastern trip taken to esti-
mate the prospects for western travel
during the fall and winter. He states
that from all appearances the railroads
will be kept busy managing the amount
of travel which will pour over them dur
the next half year. Mr.. Van Arman
during his visit to the East travelled over
the course of the California on
Wheels" exhibit, and is enthusiastic
over the work it has done. He thinks
the permanent population of California
will have an increase of between 25 900
and $4,000 people during the coming
season. 1t is to be hoped that the pre-
diction of Mr.. Van Arman may come

Mr.. Rufus r. Harris, of Tulare county,
has purchased of l.. R. Vincent the for
mer residence of Chauncev Smith, on
the Prospect Hill tract. The Messrs.
Harris will install their families here,
and vibrats back and forth between their
Santa Monica home and their wheat
ranches in Tulare county, which they
will continue to cultivate. Mrs. Coch-
ran, from the same county, and a neigh
Dor of the Harrises, as already an
nounced, has purchased the residence OF
VIM. Rector, on Eighth street. The
three families will be very pleasant ac-
quisitions to the social life OF Santa
Monica. Mr.. Harris thinks there are
other parties in Tulare county who will
probably purchase homes and reside at
the seaside at least portion OF the year.

We regret to learn that Mr.. r. Crea-
sen, who purchased a twenty-acre tract
near town about q year Sgo, and who il
the short time of his ownership has
made comparatively waste place ''blos-
som as the rose" has sold out and ex.
poets to move away. During Mr.. Crea-
sons residence here he has built hand
some and commodious cottage, planted
out fine orange grove and surrounded
himself with improvements which in q
few years will yield handsome reve-
nue.. The property was sold to Mr.. A.
@. Lawson, an attorney at-law. OF Oak
land, for the consideration of S., 600 c.sA.
and 2S0 acres Of Texas lands. Mr.. Law
son and family will take possession
within month, and make it their resi-
dence. The removal of man like Mr.
Creason is great loss to our commun-
ity, and his many friends will be pleased,
after he has made his eastern trip, to
welcome him again amongst u.s.

Mr.. Hiram Hamilton, Of Orange, was
in the city today, and is highly elated
over the fact that he has succeeded in
finding cluster of the eggs of the lssto-
phronus purchasi, as it is incorrectly
named, or lest0phr0nus duranti, as it
should be called. Mr.. Hamilton sprayed
q lot of his trees on Friday last, and
cleared them of bugs, scale and parasite.
On looking over the trees on Sunday
morning he found cluster of thirty
eight pedestals, each bearing an egg Of
the lace-W inged fly. This fly, which 10
doing considerable to clean out the red
scale, when it wants to deposit it's eggs,
makes little pedestal OF material re-
sem bling spider web, and on the very
tip of this pedestal it lays it's egg, max
ing new pedestal for each egg. AS it is
rarely that more than two eggs are found
together, Mr.. Hamilton is highly pleased
to find 30 many in one place. He pro-
poses to keep them where he can watch
them, and 30 discover exactly how long
it takes for the eggs to hatch, as these
must have been laid after he had sprayed
the trees.
He also states that he has seen the
laced-winged fly in this valley for the
past five gears, and fears on this account
that it will not be much more successful
in devouring the red scale than it was
the white, for which purpose u colony of
them were sent over from Australia by
Professor Koeble. Mr.. Hamilton says
that there are no white scale in Santa
Ana, nor will there be, for the reason
that the most perfect precautions have
been taken against their introduction
here.-TSanta Ana Blade.
The settlement OF one hundred people
on the Centralia colony tract, south OF
town, is one of the auspicious signs oi
the times. Those people will shortly ar
rive from the East, having already con-
tracted for transportation. Several have
arrived already. and it is expected build.
ing will shortly begin. These people
will of course add materially to the busi-
ness done in Anaheim. As soon as our
outlying lands shall be taken up for set.
Element, houses built and orchards laid
out, we shall see the beginning Of better
times in the valley. The lands in Gem
tralia are second to none in the State.
All kinds Of fruits may be made to thrive
plentifully; the newcomers have only to
pattern after the many beautiful farms
