SNOW ON THE HILL.

Fifty Feet of Snowsheds Crushed BY a
Slide-Other Notes.
The renewal of the storms has caused
some slight discontinue on the line of the
Central Pacific through the Sierras. Snow
fell in fitful showers during Saturday and
all that night, and during yesterday fore
noon fell rather heavily. There was about
two feet of fresh snow on top of the old
hard snow, which has laid on the noun
tains all winter, by noon yesterday. The
push pillow, which is housed at Summit,
was sent down through the Cascade cut
several times during the forenoon in order
to keep the tracks clear. Although several
freight trains were delayed somewhat none
OF the passenger trains lost any time by
reason of the snow.
Shortly before o'clock yesterday morn
ing snowslide occurred Just east of Tun-
mel IL (half way between Summit and
Truckee) and broke down sixty feet of
snowsheds. The wrecking train was quickly
on the ground, however, and the track was
clear in time for trains TO pass on time.
Though the rain has caused many of the
streams near the various branches of the
railroad to swell and become threatening,
no washouts nor breaks have been reported.
The water has become rather high around
Davisville, and the tracks are being closely
watched for breaks. But unless more rain
should come, or heavy wind should spring
up. 1t is not thought that the tracks will
suffer any damage.

None of the outstanding orders have been

ORANGE SCALE.
Danger OF Their Introduction on Trees
Brought From Florida.

Danger of Their Introduction on Trees
Brought From Florida.
The fact that many of the orange trees
brought to this State from Florida have
been found to be covered with insect pests,
has induced the State Board of Horticult-
ure to take action in the matter. It has
instructed the Horticultural Commission.
ers of the various counties to see that no
infected trees are planted in any of the new
orchards that are being set out this year.
In furtherance of this work, B. n. LIE
Long, the Secretary of the Board, was sent
to Florida to make study of the scale in
seets and see if there were any parasites of
the same. He finds the condition of orange
trees much worse in Florida than they are
in California, and to give practical demon
stration of what is being done there has
shipped II box of oranges 10 the office of the
Board. These oranges are of several diff
ferent varieties-budded st. Michael, seed
ings and Washington navels-and GER
tainly are worse than anything ever seen in
California.
The principal scale injecting the oranges
is the purple scale, generally found in i'm
ported lemons sent to this market from
Florida, and on some European varieties.
AS yet this scale has not infested the trees
in this State
Another scale on the samples is the
"long" or Glover scale. This is yery
common species on citrus trees in Florida
and Louisiana. 1t, like the other scale.
infests the fruit, leaves and bark of the
trees. 1t has not yet made its appearance
in this State, and it is hoped that it will not
be allowed to do SO.
Another troublesome disease is the rust
mite, in which all the orange is effected.
1t is brownish discoloration of the rind
OF the orange, Familiarity known as rust"
In appearance the rust varies from light
to dark-brown stain beneath the cuticle
to a rough incrustation, resembling an
oxidation of resinous gum upon the surface.
In the former case the golden color of the
ripe orange is more or less obscured, and in
the latter entirely destroyed by the discol-
Grafton.

plated by the children of the Michigan
Bar, Buckeye and Carpondale schools.

music, ELECTED great admiration from the
enthusiastic spectators.
Music was furnished by the lone Or
chestra, and dancing. games and other
amusements were INDUCED in until the
descending sun warned the happy pic
nickers that ii was time to return TO their
homes
The teachers of the respective schools
are as follows: Forest Home, Mrs. Julia
Markley; Carbondale. Miss V. Waltenspiel.

yhe pemocratic Convention.

1t has been suggested that the leading
Democrats of this city set to work to secure
the holding of the State Convention of
their party here, and the suggestion is
timely one. The State Central Committee
will meet inside of two weeks, and there is
no time to lose, as San Jose and other cities
are making an active canvass among men,
bers of the committee for their votes.
If the Sacramento State Committeeman
have not as yet made a move in the matter
they had better do so at once.
A prominent Democrat informed a
RECORD UNION reporter last evening, in re-
Spouse to an inquiry as to what the local
Democracy was going to do in the matter,
that delegation would go TO San Fran
cisco to-day or tomorrow and see what
can be done toward securing favorable &C.
ton in behalf of Sacramento.
You see," said he, nobody dreamed
but that the Convention would surely be
held here, and while we have been idle
San Jose has been at work getting votes.
We realize now that something must be
done, and will get to work at once. This
is the proper place for it, and we have rea.
son to believe that it can yet be secured"

Sacramento crowd nearly all through,
and the Senators were heartily cheered
whenever they made any runs.
When Norris O'Neil the Oakland's cap.

with cries of I-bird, {" "Robber,n etc.
The game was the best one played here
this season, the Senators putting up mag
nifcent ball.
Stapleton was the only one who had an
error. and it was an excusable one. He
muffed foul fly, the batter subsequently
getting to first
AS fitting element in the contest, DON
ahue umpired splendidly, being strictly
impartial, and not one decision was ques-

Harper was in great form and never
pitched better game. The bases on balls
he gave were widely distributed, and he
struck out eight men.
Norris O'Neil struck out twice, and the
crowd yelled with delight
The Senators developed batting streak
in the eighth inning. and aided by sacri-
fees and an error scored four runs.

pared good programme. which was well
executed. a fine musical programme by
the people of the town formed a part Of
each evenings entertainment. This was
followed on Wednesday evening bv a
lecture given by myself on The Results
and Encouragements of Our School Work,
and on Thursday evening by lecture from
Professor Allen on The American School,
AT the close ofthe lecture verv pie .sant
reception was rendered the Institute BY
people of the town, and an invitation given
to all of the teachers to take free ride on
Friday morning to the Government Ex-
pertinent Station and other pleasant
places IN the neighborhood.
II observed with satisfaction the increas-
ing tendency on the part of the Trustees of
the county to secure. as teachers, the gradu-
ates from our Normal Schools. Not less
than nine of the graduates of the last class
at San Jose now have schools in San Luis
Obispo county, and are doing good work.
The people of Paso Robes point to their
fine school houses with pride, and their
schools contain fifty more pupils than
when visited them two years ago. The
people seemed pleased to have the oppor-
tunity to express their cordiality towards
the teachers and the teachers were de-
lighted with their attentions, and so all
seemed happy. l came away feeling conf
dent that the schools of the county are con-
stantly improving"

But Cahill Went Into the Box and Won
Stockton the Game.
STOCKTON, May 11th.-The San Fran
ciscos played their first game of the season
on the Banner Island grounds to-day, and
it was the most exciting contest witnessed
in Stockton so far this season. Despite the
regularity with which the Stocktons have
been losing lately, the attendance to-day
was large and the crowd brimfull of enthu-
siasm, applaudiDg the clever work of both
mines impartiaily. Borchers was on a
drunk, and so Patsy Cahill went into the
box for Stockton, and his splendid work
was mainly responsible for the victory.
The home team won by score of s to Z,

STATE LIBRARY MATTERS.

EN-Librsrian Wallis Explains About Ger
tain Book Purchases.
A few days ago the RECORD UNION re-
published from San Francisco paper (the
Bulletin a brief report of what transpired,
or was alleged to have transpired, at the
recent meeting of the State Library Trustees
in that city. This item, it is claimed BY
ex-Librarian Wallis, did not correctly state
the facts. He says his administration does
not owe $40, 900 for the late book purchases,
but less than 5000; that many of the pur-
chases were made TO complete partial sets
already in the library, and that some of the
orders date back several years, although
the books came TO hand but recently. Mr..
Wallis explains the situation thus:

give me an opportunity to reply to an arti-
Gle that appeared in your paper of May 9th,

that some $4,000 worth of State Library
books would be returned, and that these
books were ordered during the last month
of Mr.. Wallis administration.
