THE INSECT ORCHESTRA

There is a full insect orchestra in the
suburbs these September nights. There
must be day shift and night shift,
too, ..unless. indeed, the musicians do
double turn, for the music keeps up the
whole twentyfoIr hours, though it IS
only at its full after dark. 1t has sort
of dry and dusty sound all day, and in
competition with the daylight sounds of
business it seems insignificant and might
easily pass unnoticed. After nj ght,
however, when suburban sounds have
died down to the cityward horizon, save
for the occasional hum of trolley car,
which, not inaptly, suggests some mon
ster of the insect world, the soft nur-
murous hum of many small voices seems
to have for its field all between earth
and sky.
Only an ehtomologist could identify
all the sounds and give them names. and
tnat might spoil the music. The ground
work OF the accompaniment of the whole

from every side, now as a single voice,
now in chorus of many, rounded note
in minor key. There is no true bas in
this orchestra. The nearest to it is the ka-
tydid. firmly reiterated through indefinite
scandal that comes athwart the hum, Jh G

smaller. dry, sharp cries more frequen

PROSPEROUS TOLUCA

TOLUCA, Sept. 8. - Toluca, better
known as Lankershim, is rapidly grow
ing, and will, when the Southern Califor-
MIA railroad makes this one OF its stations
on the main route to San Francisco. be
one of the prosperous places in this part
of the country.
Six years ago nothing but one vast
grain field could be seen where now love-
~ orchards with beautiful homes are IN
numerable. The fruit from Lankershim
is known far and wide as being OF larger
size and better flavor than tina. from any
other section and. therefore, is command
ing a batter price.
The Southern California Fruit COM
pany and the Whittier cannerv have their
agents at the depot receiving the best of
the fruit for canning purposes while the
ripper and smaller fruit is disposed of by
mum bers of drIers. Many people have
found work all summer, picking and dry
ins fruit, and have been induced to make
this their home, thus increasing local
trade.
Within the past year two stores have
been started with prospect of doing a
good business.
Few country places have better school
and church advantages than are to be
found here. The Methodists and Pres by
terians each have services every Sunday,

SkNTA BARBARA, Sept. 5.-The
committee reported TO the council the
res ult OF their deliberations. Three of
the gentlemen are councilmen and the
Others are members of the board of trade,
but they have reached the unanimous
conclusion that it is practicable to bore
wells and tunnel for water. The commit
tee is of the opinion that an abundant
water supply can be obtained and recon-
mend that the city council at once make
an appropriation for the necessary tests.
The inquiry into the charges against
Night Watchman Matthew McGrath still
progresses. Councilman G. 4. Lataillade,
who instituted these proceedings is rep
resented by W. p. Butcher. City Attor-
ney Thomas McNulta is on hand to adj
wise the investigating com ittee and the
interests of the defendant are looked
after by J.W. Taggart. In support of the
charges number of witnesses have been
examined, but on cross-eXaminatOn all
admitted that they were not on friendly
terms with the officer, many OF them in
fact, having been arrested by him. Thus
far no reputable witnesses have been abb g
to sustain single accusation. while the
policeman has by competent evidence
fatty contradicted the most serious state
ments. The charges embrace the follow
ing offenses: Going out of his beat, fre-
qunting saloons and houses of ill repute,
insulting women on the street and be-
coming involved in alterations at times
when he should be discharging his duty.
But the malice and spite so apparent in
this prosecution greatly discredlted the
investigation. Tae examination is still
pending and the committee will not be
able to formulate a report to present at
today's council meeting.
