INVITATIONS GALORE
Mayor Snyder's Presence Requested
at Several Public Gatherings

Mayor Snyder has been in receipt of
numerous requests for his attendance
at and participation in public gather
ings during the past few days. The re-
quests have been coming SO rapidly that
his honor has had to prepare calender
guidance and to be certain that he will
miss none of his engagements. This
evening he will attend the celebration of
the anniversary of the independence of
Mexico and will deliver an address. Yes
terday two other invitations were re-
ceived by him to attend other similar
functions. One invitation was from the
members of the several lodges of Odd
Fellows in this city, for him to take part
in the public reception which is to be
rendered to the delegates to the grand
encampment, l. O. O. F., October is, at
Turner hall. On this occasion. which
will be the beginning of week of i'm
portant work by the members of the
order, there will be musical and literary
exercises. The invitation has been ac-
cepted and Mayor Snyder will officially
welcome the delegates.
Another invitation, which he received
yesterday, was to attend the reception
to be rendered to Gen. BoothTucker,
upon the occasion of the visit to Los An
geles of that now distinguished person.
age on October 16 This invitation has
also been accepted.

that is needed is the close examination
Of the petition as prepared by City At
torney Dunn and the making of such
alterations in it, if any, that he may
think necessary. The petition will
probably be filed today or tomorrow.
The final hearing Of the injunction
proceedings is set in the superior court
for September a. at which time the rail-
road company will endeavor to have set
aside the temporary injunction now in
force preventing its double tracking the
thoroughfare mentioned. The property
owners who are plaintiffs in the action
will contest the matter as strongly as
possible and if the city's petition is al
lowed to be filed they will have all the
assistance the city's law department car
render to prevent the contemplated ac-
ton of the company. AS yet the conf
pany has expressed no determination
of objectirg to the city's becoming
party to the action by endeavoring 10
prevent the receiving of the petition in
court, but such action would cause no
surprise If this move is made and the
court upholds the objection of the COM
psny, the city could secure no standing
in court in the case and the property
owners would have to fight it out alone

against the persons turning in false
alarms of fire, and would ask that pa
rents be requested to warn their chill
expensive and demoraiizing. but also
extremely dangerous. for while the de-
partment is responding to a false alarm
there Is great liability of an actual fire
occurring in another and remote portion
of their districts, thereby delaying the
companies and preventing prompt serv-
ice. Most Of the alarms are turned in
by small boys whom I find to be more
mischievous than vicious, and believe
the practice can be broken UP by the
cooperation and assistance of the pa
rents.
The recommendations were adopted
and the requisition asked for was al
lowed.
j. S. Sloan, a callman Of the No. en-
gine company, who had been reported to
the board for having missed several
alarms of fire, appeared and explained
his absence by saying that he drove a
laundry wagon and at all times could
not hear the fire bells He had not
missed any fires on which his company
worked and had a good record. Chief
Moore was directed to reprimand him
and caution hin, to be more careful in
future.
Application of Don r. Mcdonald and
e. C. Bodie for positions as callmen,
and that of John Mcclure for position
as fireman were filed The board then
adjourned

advantage, need not deter anyone. Mr..

mer's tents are of S-ounce and 612-ounce
duck He thinks the lighter the best
and would reduce the weight were he to
set more. His tents cost him $S to SIG
EACH but they can be bought now in Los
Angeles much below that cost. The tents
should be bell-shaped, not pointed at the
top. Mr.. Palmer believes that in large
tents a q 4-inch hoop might be better than
one made of 1a-inch gas pipe. He also
thinks that the two-piece sheet tent is
probably preferable, to the ring for trees
more than twelve feet high, as It is diff
In the use of the sheet tent two upright
posts with pulleys are used to raise th=
sheets which, though double, overlap SO

then adding TO the decoction Slue or
yellow ochre. Good canvas, well brush
ed with this preparation, is made wholly
mpervious alike to water or gas, and 50
tents made Of il will hold the poisonous

like the Seth Richard of North Pomona,

which are either furnished gratis or for
a nominal sum to any who may wish
them. 1t would be still better, We think
for each neighborhood to have live
farmers club and for this club to own
the tents Then they could be hired out
10 any who would rot join the club If
there were any 50 negligent of their own
best interests This would secure the
tents in every neighborhood, and they
would always be on hand when requir-
ed 1t is always we'll to get rather large
tents. as then they will do for large trees,
will do for small trees in coming years,
when they are larger grown; and they
viii be as good for small trees, as they
will require no more gas. Mr.. Palmer
has two sizes. one by II, the other IL
by 16 feet. The actual practical size of
the tent is gauged by the size of the tree,
AS the tent falls together except that the
tree holds it apart or open. OF course it
must be large enough to surround the
largest tree to be treated, and long
enough to go over the tallest tree and yet
permit the hoop to lie on the ground.
THE CYANIDE
It is found best to use only refined or
C. P. cyanide, which is said to be 50 per
cent cyanide of potassium. The old 5S
per cent article is not uniform and so IS
not satisfactory, and the difference is
not serious, as it takes only two-thirds
as much of the stronger article. 1t takes
from one-half an ounce to eight ana
half ounces per tree, as they range from
six to thirty feet. In using the cyanide,
as much sulphuric acid as cyanide IS
used, while the latter is diluted witH
double the amount of water. The fol-
lowing table is the one recommended by
MIR. John Scott, SO long the efficient hor-
,icultural commissioner of Los Angeles

An earthen vessel is used. Into this one

sang can run from % to 40 tents ana
change every forty minutes from one row
to the next. so that is possible to treat
4o5 trees in a single night, if they are OF
100 large. II is nice to always do the
work at night, as the trees are likely to
he injured if gassed in sunlight. The
adjusting of the tents IS very hard work.
and the cool of the night is most favorable
10 comfort The two men who a6iust :
the tents often reek with sweat even in
the cool of night time.
TIME TO LEAVE TENTS ON TREES
The usual time TO leave the tents on
the trees is forty minutes. Il has been
usually stated that larger trees should be
treated longer. There seems 10 be no
good reason for this. Mr.. Frank Palmer
noticed that he did better work on the
remained over the treets for a greater
time He says the trees do not suffer II
the tents remain for an hour or more, and
if the gas is used stronger than is usually
recommended. From his few tents-only
twenty -five-it is not economy 10 leave
the tents longer, but he proposes to Sc
cure more tents and give the gas longer
time, which is doubtless very wise
VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS
From the above we see that gassing
should not cost for trees ten or twelve
feet high more than ten cents per tree;
that is If the tents are owEe0 by the per-
son, county or community. 1t is doubt
full if the fumigators who go about to
do this can do it as cheaply as this.
Again it is not always true that men
hired do as careful work as the owner
or picked man. in the community,
Might not each club have a committee
on entomology which should thoroughly
inform itself in all the details of fumiga
ton. as well as regarding the life his
tory of scale insects. Such men, if true
and energetic, will be admirable to di-
rect all such work. AS they belong TO
the place they will be interested that
the WOrk De tHOTOuSnly ptlioIiIiSt l
suggest that this matter be discussed at
clubs and institutes.
Again it is probably not wise to fuml-
gate until the trees are so seriously at
tackled that they begin TO suffer and
voice it in the black smutty fungus and
pale foliage. When any trees of
block show such symptoms it is prob
ably wise to treat the block. Every
manager OF fumigating outfit should
know how to recognize the live mature
scale, the dead scale with eggs under
meath, and the minute young scale on
leaves and green twigs. Then he will
know when to fumigate and whether the
cor.dition of an orchard makes it best
to gas the trees.
All our clubs should attack this ques-
ton as it's merits demand. Mr.. Palmer
treated his trees thoroughly and effect
lively three years ago. This year their
black banner is flung out and he attacks
the foe again. The state would be
richer by thousands if many would fol-
low Mr.. Palmer's course.
