last Legislature to prevent the intro
duction of contagious and infectious
diseases into the State. could be applied
to human diseases only. The opinion
was published in full in the Record

Governor Budd takes issue with him,
and says there can be no good reason

BOARD OF EXAMINERS.
Cutting on Claims-A Sacramento
Officer Out of Pocket.

A meeting of the State Board of Ex-
aminers was held yesterday afternoon,
and a vast number of bills passed upon
and allowed.
A bill of expense for taking an insane
person from San Francisco to the Napa
Insane Asylum called up the question
of time to be allowed Sheriffs and their
officers in such cases
Secretary of State Brown moved that
for any part of a day consumed by an
officer in such duty full pay should be
allowed for one day. Those officers were
losing their time, and the Board of Ex-
aminers should not do them an injus-
tice merely because it had the power to
do so.
The Governor objected, and stated
that the proper time to settle such
cases was when they appeared before
the board. He did not want to see
Sheriffs loot the State. It would be
opening an avenue for acute work on
their part to indorse such a motion
Officers could then start out one even
ing with their prisoner or insane party
make the journey the next day, lay
over that night, and start home on the
third day and draw pay for three days;
when they might easily have COM
pleted their business and returned the
second day. If the present rule We're
changed the State would be obliged to
pay thousands Of dollars it did not prop
erly owe, and he believed in standing
by the established rule.
Secretary Brown said If man were
obliged to spoil day in the service of
the State he should be paid for il, even
l. he did not work all of the time. But
the Governor was firm in the stand he
had taken, and the motion was not
put.
Mrs. Dexter of Yolo County was be-
fore the board to explain her claim for
$500 Of the reward offered in the Rug
giles murder case. The facts in the case
were parallel to those in the Weber
murder case reward. which is to be set
tied in the courts, and action was de-
ferred until decision had been given
relative to it.
The claim of Police Sergeant John
p McManus OF this city for per diem
while detained in Denver, Col, await
ing extradition papers for the return of
a prisoner to this State, was disal-
lowed The board held that in such
cases the statute provided only for the
payment of the personal expenses of
the officer while so detained, and that
no per diem should be allowed.

FRUIT-GROWERS PROSPECTS.
HOrtiCulturiStS Meet and Discuss the
Situation.
Good Crops in Some Places, But on
the Whole the Outlook is
Slim.

The State Horticultural Society met
at the state Capitol Yesterday, and the
members present made Verpai Reports
of the damage done to the Irui1 crops
in the vicinities in which they reside.
John Markley of Sonoma County said
more damage had been done Dy snow
than the frost, which followed 1t.
n. M. LaRue had heard it reported
that the prune crop in the vicinity OF
Calistoga had been almost entirely de-
stroyed.
I. H. Thomas raised the question as
to whether peaches would develop after
the pit had turned black from the et-
feet of the frost The opinion pre-
vailed that they would not
w. J. Mccain of Placer had used a
new formula for curl leaf, which he
had received from Washington, D. c.,
with gratifying results. His trees were
in fine condition, while those which nav
not been sprayed were sorry lot.
II. Zimmerman of Newcastle reported
considerable curl leaf in that locality,
though carefully sprayed trees were all
right. Grapes had been injured, and on
low grounds had been practically de-
stroyed.
J. W. Mccain of Placer said the fruit
crop of that locality would be about
ne-fourth the ordinary average.
Ed F. Smith, Secretary Of the State
Agricultural Society, reported that the
apricot crop of northern San Joaquin
County had been badly injured from
frcst, and that there would be no more
than one-half a crop of almonds.
Prunes had also been damaged.
Craor Of "a YnpntO said the
peach crop of the county had been badly
damaged, but otherwise the county had
had been fortunate. The grape crop
would be good.
The peach and pear crops along the
Sacramento River were reported as be-
ing fairly good, while cherries in some
localities would not be half crop.
In the afternoon Professor E. w.
Hilgard of the University of Califor-
mia, delivered a lecture on 1.-The Irri-
CATION of of Deciduous Fruits He said
that too much water made the fruit too
aciduous and of a poor quality. If
there was too little water the fruit
would be dry and small The thing to
be avoided in California was to not
irrigate too much. If the ground was
soaked all the season, the roots would
run near to the surface and a drought
would probably kill the trees. Irriga
tion had much to do with the flavor Of
fruit. Fruit men should study the ma
ture Of the soil and irrigate accord
ingly. AS soon as fruit was fully formed
irrigation should cease, as the tree
needed rest as well as everything else.
If irrigating water is very cold it re-
suits in killing the trees, and great care
should be taken in getting water warm
enough to insure no damage.
A B. Stevens did not agree with Pro-
fessor Hilgard regarding the irrigation
of fruit after maturity. He had had
good results from flooding his vineyard
when half of the fruit had been har-
vested. He could not harvest the re-
mainder for a number of weeks, and
when he did he found the fruit in splen-
did condition.
After some further discussion, the
meeting adjourned.

No one has deeper insight into ma
ture's ways than the Superintendent Of
the extensive botanic gardens Of the
United States at Washington.
No one knows so we'll as he what pre-
cius opportunities come with the spring.
Superintendent Smith, like most sci
entific persons, firmly believes that
everyone would be benefited by taking
a spring remedy while the blood is read
lest to be purified and invigorated.
Paine's celery compound is the only
genuine spring remedy worthy of that
name, in the opinion Of Superintend-
ent Smith. He writes:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 4, 1896.
Conference.-The female members Of
my household are more than delighted
with Paine's celery compound. I learn
from other friends that its popularity
is steadily growing. 1t aids digestion.
and in view Of the prevalence of dys-
pepsia, it is one Of the benefactions Of
the age. Very respectfully,
WIN. r. SMITH,
Supt U. S. Botanic Garden.
Paine's celery compound Is far re-
moved as the poles from the many triv-
ial, unscientif1c preparations that call
themselves spring remedies. 1t has
earned the complete confidence Of men

by Supervisor Dreman, embodying
specifications for preparing the Court
house and Hall of Records with cleo

they were adopted
