Odd Fellows Banquet

SAN BERNARDINO, March II. - The
members of the Odd Fellows fraternity
have for many years owned the quarters
where their lodge room is located, but

tile purposes. That Is now changed, and
the entire building will be devoted to the
order and to the Knights of Pythias. who
also use the lodge room devoted to the
three links. The lower floor has been
cleared out and will be fitted in elegant
style with a front parlor, back Of which
is to be large banquet room that can also
be used for drill room for the Canton
|. o. o. F., and drill room for the uni
form rank of the X. of p. that is being or
ganized as an adjunct to Valley lodge q
K. of p. The rear room to this will be
fitted up as kitchen with all the modern
improvements, and the arrangements for
fun on the lower floor will be complete
1t is also arranged so that the banquet
room can be used as a lodge room, If oc-
casion should require 1t when the room
upstairs is occupied. The opening of this
portion Of the building will occur or
Wednesday evening, March 30th, and for
lit the ladies of the Rebekahs, who are fore
most in this change, will prepare an elabo.
rate program and banquet, as a re-dedi.
cation Of the whole establishment, and
will invite their brothers and sisters from
Redlands, Riverside, Cotton and other

s. P. IMPROVEMENTS
Huntington and Hoods Visit Causes
Speculation

RIVERSIDE, March 17.-H E. Hunting
ton and Engineer Hood of the Southern
Pacific company were here today. They
came here for the purpose of loking over
the extensive improvements the company
Is prosecuting at the present time. They
arrived In special car and spent several
hours in the city. The work of relaying
the old motor line, which is now the prop
erty of the company, is about completed,
and the old light rails have been replaced
by new 70-pound steel rails all the way
from Cotton to this city. In consideration
of the valuable franchise granted the COM
pany along Market street in the heart of
the city, the company agreed to grade and
gravel that street from First to Eighth
street. and this work Is now about complete
lin fact, 1t is the intention to finish the
job next week. AS yet the company has
not started work on the proposed new de-
pot further than to lay the concrete foun-
dation. 1t Is stated that the cause of the
delay is the inability Of the company to get
the supply of brick necessary. This brick
is being made in Los Angeles and the sup-
ply is expected in few days now. Mr..
Huntington's visit at this time is thought
by some to have some connection with the
well known intention Of his company to
seek further franchise privileges on Mar

SAN BERNARDINO, March 17.-While
1t Is to be hoped there was no damage
from the frost the past few days, reports
come in from different directions stating
that the apricot crop in many sections
is ruined. the young fruit turning black
throughout whole orchards. This morn
ing was the third in the past six days
when the temperature went below the
freezing point, in exposed sections, al
though it is hoped the damage is not gen.
eral throughout the valley. Later returns
will tell that.
Rain commenced to fall at p. m. today
followed in a few minutes by snow and
hail. driving before a strong wind from
the west, and chill to the atmosphere

AS a result of the universal use of the
bicycle, the owners of the D-strret car line
have been compelled to withdraw all cars
on that line except to make two trips q
day, just to hold the franchise until II

when 1t will prosper. In a case of horses
against bicycles the former go to the
wall, but the trolley will hold it's own.

STREET IMPROVEMENT
Bauchet Street Sewer-Sidewalks and
the Edison Conduit system

v
The board of public works made another
trip of inspection yesterday. and in COM
pany with the city engineer and street
superintendent made a final examination of
the Bauchet street sewer Several sections
of the sewer pipe had been laid bare in Or
der that leaky and poor JOINTS if any.
might be detected. None were found and
it will undoubtedly be the unanimous rec
ommendation that the sewer be accepted.
The matter has been argued pro and con
in the council for weeks, but will now be
finally settled.
Complaint was made by several Main
street property holders of the manner in
which the sidewalks on that street are be-
ing widened. The curb is being set out
three feet and naturally, as the street rises
toward the center, is slightly higher than
at present. AS the sidewalk slanted evenly
down to the old curb line and the new
walk slants in the other direction, back
from the curb, there is depression formed
about which big roar is being raised.
City Engineer Dockweiler showed that it
was impossible to lower the curbs and the
only remedy seems to be to relay the en-
tire walk on the new grade.
From the corner of Seventh and Main
streets the Edison Electric company have
begun to lay their conduit north toward
the center of the city. The company is
using the most modetn appliances and It's
wires are laid in steel sheathed and insulat-
ed cables imbedded In cement. The work
will be pushed as rapidly as possible to
completion. This leaves only one big cleo
trc company which has as yet made no
definitely known move toward complying
with the anti-pole and overhead wire or
dinance, the Los Angeles Lighting COM
pany.

Riverside Jottings

RIVERSIDE, March 1Z-Constable Sim
gletary brought to the county Jail today a
17-year-old boy named Roy Aldrich, who
was arrested in Los Angeles a couple of
days ago on request Of the officers here.
Aldrich was wanted to answer to a charge
of robbing his employers. Aldrich was
wild, and when he started out to see the
world a few weeks ago he stole lot of
jewelry and other articles. There is clear
case against him.
The report which gained circulation few
days ago that the Riverside Trust COM
pany would object to the granting of a
franchise for an electric road along Vic
toria avenue, which thoroughfare was
originally given the city by the company
is denied by the officers of the company.
The company reserved the rights for rail-
road lines on the street, but is willing to
let any responsible company put down the
line, providing always that the road is an
up-to-date one.

There was a strong protest against the
granting of a saloon license to J. E. Wal

declared that this street should be kept
free from the liquor traffic; that it would
be an injury to property interests on Broad
way.
Mr.. Gibbon suggested that sideboard in
troublesome to the authorities than a reg
ular retail saloon. There was but one more
license to grant, and as matter of public
policy he would rather favor a license is
sued for a sideboard on Broadway than
for a regular saloon in saloon part of the
city.
The petitioner had a majority of the
frontage and the application was granted.
Tne following applcatlOnS IOr transfers
of saloon licenses were referred to the
chief: From John Chic, for transfer
from j. 3. Lavagnino at 1858 San Fernando
street to himself; also from Edward Ham
and George I. Wooley for transfer from
Jesse Avis at LOG Court street to themselves.
John Castera was granted a transfer
from N. S. Baker at liz East First street to
himself.
The full number of 200 saloon licenses is
now completed and until some of those now
in business drop out there will be no use in
applying for license-unless the commits
sioners change their minds about the num-
ber and decide to make 1t 250 or 300.

PROMINENT EDUCATOR
Death of Prof. H. G. Brooke, Formerly
of San Bernardino

SAN BERNARDINO, March ia tele-
gram has just been received from Yuma,
announcing the death Of Prof. H. C.
Brooke. for twenty-five years a promi-
nent educator of this city. The deceased
was born in Pennsylvania in 1884, obtained
his education in the Philadelphia schools,
and came to California in 1859 and COM
menced his life work by teaching school
in Humboldt county. He was the first to
receive teachers certificate under the
SWEET law, then just passed by the legisla-
ture. In 1867 he came to San Bernardino,
his time to education in this city and
county. In 1869 he was elected superin-
tendent of schools and served for one term,
when he entered the ranks of teachers
again, and was reelected superintendent
in 1882 and served for several terms, during
which time he added materially to the
prosperity Of the schools by his method
of raising money for school buildings
This was done by the issue of school bonds
in the respective districts where needed
To accomplish this Superintendent Brooke
drew up form of bond which he sub
mitted to the best legal authority, and
to this day this bond has stood the test
Of the courts: and has been adopted in
most of the states at the east, as we'll as
OH this coast, and through it the school
bonds of the state have come to be consid-
cred the best gilt-edge bonds for invest
ment. Over sixty issues have been made
in this county alone, to the great benefit
of the cause of education. His fame as
most devoted and successful worker in
the cause Of education not only extended
the length of the Pacific coast, but he was
known throughout the educational circles
Of the east. After serving this county and
city so many years, Prof. H. c. Brooke
closed his faithful work here and went
to Yuma, Ariz., where he continued his
teaching until, at the age Of Ga, he lays
down the burdens of life and ceases from
his labors, but the remembrance of his
good work for the cause of education will
be cherished by the multitude of scholars
who have been under his instruction.

THEY'VE GOT IT
Red Scale in Vermont, an Unknown
Visitant


SAN BERNARDINO. March r.-Horti-
cultural Commissioner Pease Is In receipt
Of pamphlet issued by the Vermont ag-
ricultural experiment station, under GATE
of October, 1897, In which the state ento-
mologist, G. H. Perkins, devotes over a
page to the introduction OF a new insect
the San Jose scale, illustrated by q half
page cut of a pear, the fruit and limb
badly infested with the scale. The pro-
fessor says in this connection: This much
dreaded insect must for the first time be
included in the list Of injurious species
found in Vermont. Fortunately 1t has
thus far no foothold In the state. 1t is
not certain that species that is so dis
tinctly southern can live In our climate
but it Is not safe to assume this, but
rather to act very promptly IL 1t is intro
duced. Although not at present fairly in
troduced, 1t is not too soon to warn those
obtaining trees or plants from outside the
state to be on their guard, lest they in
troduce 1t. 1t is a somewhat general feed
or, and may live on variety of plants.
In the case mentioned 1t was brought into
the state on an ivy and an Otaheite or
ange. 1t should be fully understood that
brought from without on living plants,
and If all plants and trees imported into
the state are carefully examined and II
infected, burned. we shall have no trouble.
But Is to be feared that such inspection
will not be given, and that somebody will
be careless and admit the enemy. In any
case 1t will be well If any scales of cir
cular form are found that they be sent at
once to the station for examination"
On receipt of the pamphlet, Bulletin
No. co." Commissioner Pease recognized at
once that instead of the San Jose scale
the Vermont people were struggling with
the ''red SCALE" and wrote to the head
officer of the station, Joseph L. Hills. di-
rector and chemist, correcting their pub
lished bulletin, and under date of March
10th. received the following note of thanks:
please accept our thanks for your favor
of the 4th. We have been convinced that
Prof. Perkins was in error in the matter of
the San Jose scale, and you may be GER
tain we are very glad to have been mis-
taken rather than to have been right in
this particular matter"

AN EXPERIENCE.

We needed the money. so where was the

We drawed up the papers an mortgaged
the farm,
An bought what we'd wanted to get.
An it isn't the money the enterprise cost,
Whose memory rankles an stings.
But the brains we wore out an the time
that we lost
Over debts an credits an things.
We agreed that economy was our main
So we opened, with ardor intense,
A book that was ruled of to show at a
glance
We might have learnt dancin or gram
mar or Greek,
Or to play on the mandolin strings
In the time we KEEP hggerin, week after
Over debts an credits an things.
These business transactions. they're sim
But they're never jes' what you intend;
An there's no one seems able to tell you
the worst,
Or when youth arrive at the end.
It's no use to kick, though it does seem a
shame,
Whose remembrance resentfully clings,
To pay half dollar fur signin your name
To debts credits an things.
Ny friend. you kin bet when we git out O
we win never git in any more;
But the future has comforts. It's pleas
ant to let
our thoughts seek that beautiful shore
Where there's gold in the street, an what
makes it complete
Is the fact that your wanderin wings,
Wherever they lead you won't cause you
With debts an credits an things.

Why does wet surface feel colder than
a dry oneP This is chiefly due to the
phenomenon of evaporation. The majority
of liquids, when left to themselves in con
tact with the atmosphere, gradually pass
into state of vapor and disappear.
The passage from the liquid into the
gaseous state is accompanied by a great
loss Of heat, which is rendered latent by
the process of vaporization. Beyond this,
when a substance is wet, its conducting
power is increased and more heat is con-
veyed from the hand to the surface.
This is easily explained. The hand does
not form a very perfect contact with a dry
surface, leaving a certain small amount of
air space between, and air is a very bad
conductor of heat. When the surface is
wet, however, the contact is more exact,
and the water forms a good conducting
medium.
