DONATIONS Of sewers, streets,

{ DONATIONS of sewers, streets, and
paving have recently become numerous
and the city is so much richer or
poorer, as the case may prove. One
thing is certain and that is when new
streets are paved the property owners
should pay proportionate share of the
expense. The start was made wrong
and the town while well paved lacks a
great deal Of what it would hay had If
the paving had been done under a
different arrangements.

DR.. S. w. Fletcher has gone to
Berkeley county to help in the fight
against the San Jose scale which is
being waged by the people OF that
section of the state. Director Stew
art of the Station went Yesterday
to the same part OF the state on the
same mission.
DIR. Fletcher was seen by this pa
per and asked about his mission.
He stated that Jefferson and Berke-
ley counties were badly infested by
scale although there were twelve
counties in which it had appeared
He said that the people had become
thorougly aroused by the danger
which threatened their orchards
and were now hard at work fighting
the scale.
A singular thing in connection
with the spread of the scale has
been discovered. They were spread
widely by locusts which visited that
section of the state last year. The
ocusts in boring in the trees took
up the insects and carried them on
to other unifested trees, some times
cal rying the scales for miles. This
has never been noticed anywhere
else in the count try
Much OF the scale has been traced
back to nursery in New Jersey
which sold small stock which had
been affected. Other nurseries also
sent in their quota.
Killing the scale must be done In
the spring before the leaves get out.
The mixture which is used is so
strong that it will kill the tree when
In Leaf and the scale itself after ii
gets into the sap is much stronger
and more able to combat the poison
than in the winter when they are
dormant.
The people are aroused to the
danger. During the past six weeks
twelve field meetings have been held
in the eastern part of the state anc
.ruit growers shown how to figh
the scale and the best mixtures tC
be used.
That part of the state is destined
ito become one huge orchard Thou
sands of dollars are involved in thu
fight which must be won by thu
fruit growers.
$50 far the scale is confined near
| ly exclusively to fruit trees but i
is also attacking chestnut and hick
ory. 1t will kill them too although
it prefers fruit trees"
THE mixture which is used costs
about half a cent gallon. Enough
to kill the scale on "a tree costs abou'
five cents. To use it when the or
chards are small is the cheapest ano
best plan. | have seen two thou
sand trees in one orchard killed by
the scale so that people will have t.
get move on them"
"Some scale has appeared il
Greenbrier and Monroe counties blu
its nothing like what it is in th'
eastern panhandle and especially il
Jefferson and Berkeley counties.

CITY SPORTS AT THE DEWEY

Phil Sheridan's City Sports company
presents a strong olio at the Dewey
theater this week. The feature of the
show is unquestionably the Everitt trio
of acrobats and jugglers. These clever
persons perform scores of tricks, which
are not only entirely novel, but border
upon the marvellous. For one of the com
pany to carry the other two upon her
shoulders, while she juggles a set of bill
lard balls. is only one of the many sensa :
tional tricks which characterize this turn.
John Rer zetta and Harry La Rue, In a
comedy acrobatic turn, win scarcely less
applause than the Everitts. Miss Hazel
Burt, whose specially is illustrated songs,
has a really meritorious voice, and sings
two popular ditties in decidedly artistic
manner. 1.-THE Schemers," a comedy
sketch presented by Tom Beeson, Harry
Ferguson and Lulu Beeson, finds favor
with the audience. The dancing of Miss
Beeson Is a feature of the turn. Tony
Kennedy and Ted Evans, Irish comedians.
have evidently taken some pains in stag
ing Ineir turn, which Is not without merit

LAKE LONGlNGS STIR.
Mild Weather Turns Thoughts Of
City Folk to Things at
Minnetonka.
Enlargement Of Lafayette Club Is
Planned-H -Housecleaning at
Minnetonka Club.

The few balmy days have turned atten
tion lakeward and plans that have been
hazy and uncertain are now beginning to
take form. Both house hunting and
land hunting has begun and already the
first emigrants of the spring have re-
Mr.; and Mrs w A."GreEory at the Beach
and Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Hallowell at
Ferndale have been out for some time,
and Mr.. and Mrs. F. B. Dodge Of the
Beach went out to-day for the season. On
the south side, the suburban colony that
lives during the cold months at the
Sampson House and other places in Ex-
mer cottages. Frank Hayward and fam
lily have removed to their Brentwood cot
tage and Frank Nantz and family will
soon leave Excelsior for the fastnesses
of Zumbra Heights. James Howard,
who moved out to his Manitou cottage
three weeks ago, was the first Of the
summer residents to arrive at that point.
Mr.. Howard's name headed a petition of
twenty-three "footsore and weary deni-
zens of Manitou and beyond who prayed
recently for the backing up of the early
train from Excelsior to Lake Park. They
succeeded in getting it run back as far
as Manitou, where it leaves at 1925 and
the train out at 5:20 runs to Manitou.
The south shore has an ll-the-year-
tOullu service OF TWO daily Trains De-
tween Excelsior and town. .@.
The first Sunday train the Mime
apolis & st. Louis will be put on next
Sunday and will leave at 9:45 for Lake
Park and return from there at 4:50.
Some big ideas are buzzing in the heads
Of the governing board of the Lafayette
club, but they are not yet quite settled.
w. G. Whitney has drawn a plan for the
enlargement of the clubhouse to give it
double it's present capacity, and it is pro-
posed to add also three new cottages for
families wishing to remain all summer.
The club will open about the first week
! in May and will be in charge of Harry
Mellette. who gave such excellent salts
faction as steward last year.
Spring housecleaning has already be-
gun at the Minneton<a club, where re-
pairs are being made and the pretty
island building Is being redecorated. The
program for the summer will be outlined
in few weeks. Herman Lathrop. who
took charge Of the club menage last fall
