White scale threatens 10 kill the

the prediction Of c, II. English, land

city to ascertain the extent Of damage
already done by the Insects, The
average citizen cannot realize the all
ment of trees suffering from the at

1t is probable that under the dl-
rection Of the city force OF men win
be detailed to all parts Of Tulsa in
the early spring TO deal death TO the
insect A mixture OF Bordeaux IL
quid to spray the trees has been ad-
yised 10y nursery authorities, and a
quantity win be secured to be used on
the trees.
Trees I'm various parts Of Tulsa are
covered with the bag worm, a small
insect about the size Of a peanut
which weaves itself into cocoon
similar to the silk worm. Nursery
men have advised the city authorities
that these insects will increase a hund-
red fold before spring, and literally
cover the foliage, The remedy offer
ed to dispose of this evil is by pruning
only. Persons realizing danger from
this source have already begun trim
mind the branches to offer protection
before the budding season.

cial presentation ana filing with Aud
itor cline OF the resignation of Charles

management of Chief Ncwblock at
this time are not known, The new
chief and his assistant viii, however,
be allowed 10 make such changes In

mer plan OF the commissioners of
presenting names to hc approved for
the position Of patrolmen will be
dropped, and all recruits for the force
win be chosen by the chief These,
however, must be confirmed by the

doubtedly prove more satisfactory
than when the members Of the po-
lice force were chosen here and there
by the different members Of the COM

in the present force is not definitely
known, but II Is likely that there viii
be some. These will probably no,

lect an indebtedness alleged to have
