AT THE last meeting of the Board o.
Trade there was quite general opinion
that business had improved and was i'm.
proving. Payments were better and
orders were increasing in magnitude and
importance. If this is the case with the
crops maturing, there is little risk in
predicting an immensely better state OF
business during and after the harvest.
There will be plenty of employment for
skilled farm hands during the coming
Summer, and the pity is that there are
not more Of this class hereabouts. A
movement ought to be made to attract to
Los Angeles numbers of the German
market gardeners, who form such val
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-04-28

A SHORT time ago Mr.. Dobbins, of San
Gabriel, received from Mr.. Koebele few
boxes of the insect enemy of the scale
bug, and let them loose amongst his
orange trees. The result is very encour-
aging. The parasite has not only multi
piled itself astonishingly, but has done
such energetic work in diminishing its
prey, that Mr.. Dobbins already sees the
good effect upon his trees. The scale
is rapidly disappearing before it's raven.
Gus enemy, and an extensive San
Gabriel orchardist, who has been care
fully watching the experiment, assured
us yesterday that this is the real solution
of the pest problem. If our orchardists
were only supplied with sufficiency of
the parasite, the scale in all the orchards
would be disposed of in short order.
Nj. Koebele, it will be recollected, had
been sent by the Government to Aus
tralia to represent it at the great exhibi-
tion. At the ins tance of Professor Riley,
of the chronological Bureau, he was
advised to lengthen his stay there in
OHQCi W cCONiC CPCOtAiOhp VI VIC pal dblLC
He arrived in San Francisco with few
boxes of them, and distributed some of
them here. 1t is a great pity that Mr..
Koebele could not have been authorized
to remain few months longer in Aus
fralia SO as to have been enabled to
gather a supply of the scale enemy that
would have been adequate for the
whole State. 1t would be worth
millions of dollars to California If
we had enough of this parasite 10
distribute to all the fruit growers of this
State. Perhaps, with the small stock in
hand, we will be able to do very great
amount of good but, it seems to us,
now that we know the Australian para
site is a sure shot against the scale pest,
the orange-growers should get together
and send a competent agent to Australia
10 gather enough OF the insects to enable
rem to make successful and effective
war upon the scale. Too much valuable
lime would be wasted in waiting for the
to do this, and we believe
{ would pay to take immediate steps to
lood our State, SO to speak, with the
lustralian scale-killer.

the Verdict.

SAN Francisco, April 27.-Carrol
Cook, counsel for Mrs. Ellen Palacios
who is suing N. j. Britain, of Redwood
City, for 100000 damages for alleged

ments. The Judge refused to allow him

Secretary Tracey has decided that he

with the defense of the great coast de-

tieement, and the only question yet to be
decided is which of the three bids sub
mitted shall be accepted. Cramps bid
was the lowest, but the Union Iron
Works, OF California, whose bid was but
the fourth of a thousand above, are
likely to secure the work in consideration
OF the fact that they absolutely guaran-
tee the success of the ship for the amount
Of the bid, which was 81 ,628,000. This
decision of the Secretary will involve the
abandonment of the idea of building a
