A DOG EPISODE.
Oflcsr Arguello and His Lariat Win the

Oflcsr Arguello and His Lariat Win the
Spring street, between Second and
Third. was yesterday afternoon about
O'Clock, the scene of a somewhat excit-
ing and amusing incident, in which a
large St. Bernard dog undertook to both
resist an officer and set at defiance the
regulations laid down for dogdom. 1t
seems that his dog-on.ness took 1t sud-
denly into his head to run shop during
the absence of his master from the city,
and when demonstrated with by his
temporary boss, tore the latter's clothes
and escaped to the street accompanied
by much smaller edition OF caninity.
Officer Albert Arguello, whp fears not
beast nor man, was, therefore, with his
lariat called into requisition. No sooner.
however, did the officer show hisn lasso
than the dog showed double row OF
hostile worries. The officer hesitated,
but at the laughter OF the crowd the
moose began to slowly circle around,
then ewiftly shot through the air and
settled around the defyer Of the law.
As deftfy, however, the dog Hprang
through the moose, paused Z moment to
consider the advisability of chewing the
officer, and then walked slowly and
haughtily up the street, accompanied
by his protege. Arguello followed;
the dog turned warningly. Think
ing discretion the better part of
ivalor, OHicer Arguello summoned
an express wagon, and from this tort
again advanced upon the enemy. Again
the moose was east unerringly. and
again the acrobatic ability of the dog
saved him. By this time, however, the
st. Bernard's patience was exhausted.
and when he saw hefatal moose again
approaching he sprnng for the wagon.
His -ten6TIty, however. coat him his
freedom, for the lariat was too quick for
him by "a tail, and. caught by this sp-
pendsgg,a was drawn toward his ag-
aressor.F, sy attempted, however. to
'boafd tfiss wagon and retrieve his for
tunes, bHtia SECOND moose over his other
end ended flfther hope, and sensibly
realizing ia athe had run the length of
his rope he submissively returned to
his quaftsre,. while the hnmdrum Of
businees and pedestrianism settled back
into its usual channels.

ladybird which is vovaciously eating up
black scale.
II do not hesitate to say that recon-
mend the discontinuance of spraying for
black scale. In my opinion that scale is
doomed after this season. Mr.. Cooper
will be ready to ship colonies next
month. II the orcus chslybeu was only
as rapid breeder as the black beetle,
the same could be said Of the red scale.
But they have only two generations,
while the black ladybi has at least four
generations, and Prof. Koebele says they
will go as high as eight. They are very
lively, are pairing now, and there are
thousands of them in Mr.. Cooper's ORCH
ards.
''In regard to red scale, would say
that 1t would not be the best thing to
discontinue fumigation. The orcus
chalybeus has not yet increased 80 that
they will accomplish the destruction of
the red scale, but they are doing very
we'll and we want to zee that they are
protected"
Mr.. Craw gave history OF the intro
duction of the red scale into his country
from Australia, and his efforts to stamp
it out at the start, and his failure owing
to the lack of authority to destroy trees
at that time.
THE PURPLE SCALE.
At this point Supervisor Forester
threw over an envelope to Mr.. Craw and
asked him what the scale on the leaves
therein were. Mr.. Craw took out some
badly disfigured leaves and at once pro-
nouncsd them purple scale, the deadly
Florida pest.
''Do not take any halfway measures
about thoae," he said. ''The only thing
to do is to destroy all trees that have
the SCALE"
Mr.. Forester asked Mr.. Scott how
many trees he believed there were in the
county with Florida scale. He replied
that he thought there were about 250.
He said he was perfectly willing to des-
troy the trees ii the board would auth
orize him to do 90. T
Mr.. Craw said he could proceed under
section of the act, which authorized
him to proceed summarily in such cases.
He further said that while it might be q
hardship on one or two now, it was
better that they should suffer and the
scales be stamped out at once, than to
like the red scale. There was no remedy

ATTITUDE OF THE STATE BOARD.
Returning once more to his request
for colonies of the orcus cnaly beus, the
talk drifted into the attitude of the state
board towards Southern California Mr..
Craw said he wished to say that the inn
preston that the state board was not
friendly to this section is false. They
had acted always for the good of this
section, and have it's best interests at
heart. Prejudicial statements had been
made that had caused an unfounded
feeling against the board, and they
could soon make public the inside
jealousies that had caused it. All at
tempts to get Mr.. Craw to mention any
names at this time failed.
In conclusion the board stated to Mr..
Craw that they had no authority to
grant him permission to take the colo
nies of bugs he wanted, but would use
all the influence they had with Prof.
Coquillett to obtain them. They as
sured him they had no objection to his
taking them, and in this situation the
colloquy closed.
