THE PEACH BORER.
Two Methods That Have Proved Effectua
In Protecting Trees.

y
Jersey station, has especially expert
mented and investigated in the matter
of preventing trouble from the borer by
protecting the trees, and considering
experiments made in 1897 and all the
records that have been published he ar
rives at the following conclusions, ex
pressed in bulletin:
Newspapers and hydraulic cement
mixed with skimmilk come nearest to
filling all the requirements economy
and durability, with the advantage, on
the whole, in favor of newspapers on
old or medium sized trees. Newspapers
are at least as effective as any other
kind Of wrapping that have seen tried,
and in actual practice they have lasted
we'll. Whatever the material employed,
some borers will start above the pro-
tected point and work into the bark, so
that examinations must be made at
chance of injury. One paper will do for
the largest orchard tree and half of
most of the papers will answer for
Swear old or younger. The time of ap-
plication is almost the same for large
as for q small tree, and the paper is
soft, clean and easily handled.
next, in my opinion. 1t is by all odds
the most lasting of all the washes that
have been recommended, and has stood
the test Of an unusually trying season
in several localities with complete sue
cess On small trees it is cheaper than
the newspaper, because it can be applied
much more rapidly, the amount of ma
terial being insignificant. On large
<,hA
cost of the cement and milk becomes an
item and the time of application is lon
ger. There is always here, too, the seri-
Gus danger that the application will not
be thorough. The larger and rougher
the trees the greater is this source OF
danger. On small or smooth trees the
wash is excellent and has the advantage
over the newspapers that it can be cas-
lily brought up to protect much greater
part of the trunk.
On the other hand, the trunk above
the newspaper may be easily protected
by two or three sprayings of bordeaux
mixture or by an application Of lime
and paris green or any other of the
poisoned washes.
In fact, for trees over 8 years old /
would recommend newspapers, tied on
some time in early May and supple
mented by applications Of bordeaux
mixture with half the usual quantity of
copper and the addition Of an ounce of
paris green for every two gallons of the
mixture. The applications should begin
In June and should be made as often as
necessary ~ keep good covering until
the end Of August. The paper should
ha in all cases removed about the be-
ginning of Oc.nLar-
Sugar Beet Problem In Colorado.
Professor W. w. Cooke says in The
Irrigation Review that the greatest
trouble of the beet sugar industry is the
large amount of capital to be invested
before single pound of sugar can be
made. factory for the handling Of a
crop of 5000 acres will cost about
5000, 600. It would be possible to make
plant for 800, 900 to handle the prod

THE DUST STORM
An Unusual Visitation, Finding No
Parallel Since 1857

Los Angeles yesterday experienced the
unusual phenomena of a dust storm, the
most severe of any known since 1857 in this
city, though by no means anywhere near SO
disagreeable visitation as comes occasion
ally in some parts of Southern California
less favorably situated.
In the valleys east of the city reports
came in that the storm was Of greater vio-
lence than ever known by old residents, the
trains being delayed and movements out of
doors all but rendered impossible by the
prevailing sand drafts. AT Cotton and Ri
alto the wires were Frustrated and all COM
munication with towns in the San Bernar-
dino valley was interrupted.
At the weather bureau further high winds
were predicted, Observer Franklin venttur-
ing the statement that there would be ii
heavy fall in Temperature ali over Southern
California, with fros. in the interior val
leys last night. Some damage to fruit was
anticipated
Little actual inconvenience was expert
enced in the city, as the sand-laden atmos
phere was relieved by stratum close to the
ground nearly free from dust. At greater
elevation the quantity borne along darkened
the sky, making the day murlly and giving
but few glimpses of the SIN. Happily such
storms are few and far between.

Exhibit


w. Wilson, agent for the Santa Fe rail
road. in London, England, who is visiting
Los Angeles, accompanied by John j.
Byrne, general passenger agent of the Santa
Fe, inspected the exhibits in the chamber of
commerce yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Wilson
suggested the opening of similar exhibit
from Southern California in London Such
a display of the products from this part of
the state, he said, would remove much of
the prejudice engendered by the schemes
land companies had practiced to swindle
people of that country. The officials con.
slider Mr.. Wilson's visit quite fortunate, as
it resulted in Mr.. Byrne's first visit to the
chamber of commerce, though he represents

ably the most potent factor in the develop
ment of Southern California.

helpless. Police Officer Ross Phillips, whose
beat is in Chinatown, heard the cries. He
resides about block distant on Macy
street, and leaving his home the officer
turned in telephone alarm to the fire de-
partment. Officer Ritch also sent in an
alarm of fire by telephone. These two Of
ficers recognized the fact that efforts toward
saving property must be made at once, and
both started to empty the largest buildings
Of their most valuable contents. The $1,000
library belonging to the Rev. Ng Pom Chew
in the brick building on Apablasa street was
saved and the rest of his effects were car
ried to place of safety. Mr.. Chew was at
his newspaper office when the fire started,
only his wife and youngest child being at
home. They left when the flames threat
ened to destroy the building. All the ef.
fects saved were carried out by Officers
Ritch and Phillips. On Benjamin street was
the building owned by Mr.. and Mrs. 500
Hoo Mon Sing. Ii contained valuable
stock of Chinese merchandise, and was
completely destroyed by the flames. The
cellar OF the house, however, in which was
stored a quantity OF opium and draperies,
was merely damaged by water. The entire
loss to Mr.. Sing will probably amount to
$4,000.
As SOON as the department arrived it was
apparent that the only course to take would
be to contine the fire to the entire corner
and prevent its spreading to the buildings
west on Apablasa street. Numerous diff
culties were faced by the firemen, who were
obliged to use the hydrant at the corner
of Marchessault and Alameda streets, neces-
stating the laying out OF 1900 feet OF hose.
The lengths from hose reel No 3 burst twice
and some delay was experienced in gettinga
good stream on the blaze. Despite the ef-
forts of the firemen, however, house on
Benjamin street, opposite 500 Hoo Mon
Sings store and occupied by Chez Kung
Tong, caught fire twice, and several times
it was feared that the confiagration would
become general and destroy all of China

HICKORY CLUB MEETS
In Search of New Quarters for Next
Year

At the meeting held by the Hickory club
last evening but little except routine bust
ness was transacted. The members were
called to order and the minutes Of the pre-
vious meeting read and approved.
Three members, A. c. Stanmer, A. M.
Bragg and George Furtsch, were appointed
a committee to search for suitable rooms
which might be made the headquarters of
the club. The committee was instructed to
confer with the owners of the present quar-
tiers and were given power to act.
Delinquent members were given one
weeks further grace, until next Friday, in
which to meet their obligations and settle
up past dues. Such as do not pay by that
time will have their names read in open
meeting and be dropped from the rolls.
1t is the intention to change the bylaws of
the club at an early date so as to make it a
straight Democratic organization, to which
others than Democrats are not eligible The
officers figure on a paying membership of
200 and estimate that the club can be run
without loss on such basis.

town. The wind, however, was quiet and
favorable for the fire fighters, the flames
working their way along Benjamin street
and around the entire block. A line OF hose
had also been lal1 from the engine on Macy
street, but as soon as it was seen that the
fire had been confined to certain limits and
that there was nothing left to do but 10
allow it to burn itself out, the apparatus
was sent home except the engine on Alameda
street. AT 2:30 the fire was at its height
and the frightened Celestials were running
in all directions, making futile efforts to save
sacks OF potatoes and various kinds OF garden
truck, which were thrown into the street,
only to be trampled under foot by the ex-
cited crowd. Five dogs, which were i'm
prisoned in frame shanty next to the Rev.
Chew's house, were slowly roasted alive,
and their cries were pitiful to hear. Aside
from these animals, it is not definitely
known that the fire claimed any other vic
Tins, although number OF chickens were
said to have been burned in Is coop at the
northeast corner Of the block.
Owing to the habit that all Chinese have
of hiding money and valuables in their
houses, it is impossible to figure the actual
loss. l. A. Sepulveda, who owns the land
covered by the burned buildings, estimates
his loss to be in the neighborhood of $4,000,
including the damage done to the brick
building at 42F Apablasa street. The Rev.
Ng Pom Chew estimates his loss at $3.50,
and intends to rebuild at once that part OF
the residence owned by himself. 1t is
thought that the loss to the other tenants
will be somewhere about $4,000, although
this estimate is necessarily very vague on
account of the utter impossibility of obtain
ing definite amounts from the terror-stricken
Chinese. In all probability the shacks de-
stroyed will be replaced by number OF
one-story brick buildings, which will add
materially to the general appearance OF that
quarter of the town and be conducive to bet
ter health conditions than have existed there
formerly.

AT THE THEATER
q OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

THE LOS ANGELES.-"T Twelfth Night
is one of those Shakespearean plays about
which comparatively little is known to the
present generation of theater-goers. The
character of the gentle Viola Is still, how
ever, so much of lvorite as to afford a
temptation to the young actress, and no
small part of the inducement to attempt 1t
lies undoubtedly in the opportunity it at
fords for the wearing of masculine garb.
This particular costume is of very at
tractive kind, being chiefly composed of
short Greek tunic and handsome crimson
jacket. Attired thus and with a jaunty
cap thrown upon her curling locks, Miss
Waldorf made strikingy handsome APP
pearance last night. Her carriage is re-
markably easy, her movements uncon-
strained, and yet while personating manly
part she never loses the graceful individ-
uality of the delightful woman who is the
central figure of the play. She was more
unaffected, too, than she was as Rosalnd,
and the speech in the dialogue with the
Duke, beginning, 'She never told her love-"
was charmingly rendered. Viola's simple
straightforwardness, her delicacy of char
| acter and the native sweetness of her dispo-
sition are all characteristics that Miss Wal
dorf illuminates with fine touches of art, and
the portrait may stand as worthy addition
| to a round OF Shakespearean characters in
which she is now claiming the attention, as
well as the admiration, of students OF the
Bard and theater-goers generally.
Apart from the personality of the young
heroine, who is in reality no heroine at all,
the interest OF the play centers in the roy
steering couple composed of Sir Toby Belch
and Sir Andrew Aguecheck. This pair OF
| worthless, with the immortal Malvolio form
the trio that gives the comedy its distinctive
place among humorous productions. Nat
urally enough, the humor is ancient and some
OF the quips and jests do not appeal to
modern tastes, but the human nature Is
there, and Mr. McVey, who undertook Sir
Toby, brought out the salient points Of his
character with telling effect. The persona
ton was, indeed, gem in its way. The Sir
Andrew of Allan Dunn was clever piece
of work, and Mr.. McGregor's Malvolio was
thoroughly we'll sustained and credtable
presentation of a most difficult character
Both the Jester and Maria if entrusted to
more capable hands would have improved
the general effect. The Olivia OF Miss Ellen
Boyer was not wanting in some delicate
touches of artistic worth.
The audience, not very large one, sat
and took in the piece with that peculiar
gravity of attention which Los Angeles peo
pie usually bestow only upon first-night pro
ductions of new pieces. The applause, while
not of general kind, was apparently hearty
and the audience seemed well pleased.
