May 19, 1899 — Stice & Burtt, the commis- sion firm, today shipped a consignment of apri- cots from Red Bluff, the first of the season. The fruit was grown on R. W. Coats place in Antelope Valley. This is the earli- est shipment of apricots that has ever been made from here. May 20, 1899- Chas. Hesse, the well known Red Bank farmer, was in town today. He said the people of his sec- tion are in the midst of their hay harvest. The hay crop will be a very good one. May 22, 1899- There is a good crop of apricots growing on the Hatch place south of town. Stice & Burtt commenced packing them today for shipment. E. W. Conard of Paynes Creek has been travel- ing over the country buy- ing cattle. He says he finds that cattle are scarce and he can only pick up a small bunch here and there. A deed was filed in the clerk's office today by which Frank R. Love and wife transfer to the U.S. two small tracts of land on Battle Creek, for fish- ery purpose. The land is transferred for a con- sideration of $250 and one tract consists of 4.50 acres and other of .42 of an acre. For an ad- ditional $250 Love also sells and conveys cer- tain water rights in what is known as the "old mill ditch." For an additional $50 the right of way to pass and repass is trans- ferred to the U.S. The government has had a hatchery located there for several years but a deed to the land has just been given. May 26, 1899 — The Red Bluff Cannery will not be run this season. May 27, 1899 — Six car- loads of cavalry horses from Vancouver passed through Red Bluff today on their way to San Fran- cisco. From that place they will be shipped to Manila. There were two officers and two atten- dants with them. May 31, 1899 — A ship- ment of peaches from the Cone orchard has been made by Stice and Burtt. This is the first of the sea- son. A Chinese vegetable wagon while crossing the railroad at the depot this afternoon, was struck by a switching train. One hind wheel was torn off and the driver thrown to the ground but not in- jured any. The wagon came from the Cone ranch. June 1, 1899 — The heavy rain this Thurs- day morning filled the creeks, and they were booming for a while this forenoon. June 3, 1899 — The Governor has reap- pointed Paul Stoll and D.S.Cone as directors of the Tehama Co. Agricul- tural Assn. Trustees for the Red Bluff Union High School were elected Friday as follows: Pine Creek — L.L.Lewis; Dibble Creek — W. H. Johnson; John- son — J. H. Hender- son; Antelope — George Hughes; Rawson- Lafe Fish, Jr. June 5, 1899 — A Holt sidehill combined har- vester was received here today by Supervisor Burress. On being trans- ferred from the freight car to the platform, its weight was so great that the platform gaveway and the harvester went down. It remained there the greater part of the day as the force of men employed by Mr. Burress were unable to move it. It will be taken to the Co- peland place in Ante- lope Valley which is being farmed by Mr. Burress this year. He will also use it some in the hills west of town. June 7, 1899 — Dr. Fife returned today from Ly- onsville where he went Tuesday to attend John Patty who was injured by a tree falling on him. The Doctor says that Patty died at 6 oclock Tuesday evening of his injuries. Patty was engaged in snaking logs by means of a cable and engine. The cable was attached to a tree , and in us- ing it the tree was lifted out of the ground and was swung into a creek where Patty had run and came down on his leg crushing it horri- bly, from the knee down- ward. The deceased was an industrious young man and was highly es- teemed by those who knew him. June 10, 1899 — The Lassen Mail says: "Messrs Galen and Leo McCoy and Mr. Moore of the firm of Bell & Moore report the feed a lit- tle backwards this sea- son, owing to the dis- agreeable weather. This is no detriment, how- ever, as the feed will be plentiful when the hot weather comes, and the moist condition of the ground will cause the feed to last much long this fall. The dampness all seems to be on the surface, though, as many of the springs have al- ready commenced to dry up, and stockmen maybe inconvenienced in that respect. The two large grain warehouses near the Corning depot have changed hands. Mr. De- Peu, who controls most of the grain warehouses along the railroad, will operate them during the coming season. J. L. Gladden has been em- ployed by Mr. DePeu to manage the two ware- houses. June 12, 1899 — The Alturas New Era re- ported that C. J. Gooch has arrived from his winter hibernating quar- ters, Red Bluff at his vast stock range near Look- out. Wonder if Gooch will catch another big grizzly on that ox wagon tongue trap he used to tell about, says the Shasta Courier. B. A. Bell was in town today looking for men to work in the hay fields. June 13, 1899 — Bun- nells Resort at Pratt- ville in the Big Mead- ows burned. Many peo- ple from Tehama County have journeyed there and spent the hot months of summer. June 14, 1899 — Albert Vestal came down from his stock range on Cot- tonwood Creek. He says his cattle are doing well. Jake Erekert, who has a farm west of town, has his hay crop harvested. He has about 100 tons, a portion of which he will bale. June 16, 1899- Jo Han- sen, who resides south of Red Bluff lately pur- chased a Holt combined harvester. He did his first work Thursday in an oat field of about 100 acres belonging to W.P.Burtt. He had a ten mule team attached to the machine and they took it a whirl- ing around the field. The oats were a little over- ripe, and had begun to shatter badly. June 17, 1899 — Frank Glassburner and Miss Grace M. Supan were married Friday after- noon by Justice Brans- ford. A great many people are complaining of being bothered with stray stock trespassing on them. It is stated that there are par- ties who have been turn- ing old broken down horses out to roam wher- ever they may and grazed on whatever can be found. June 19, 1899 — Leo L. McCoy returned here Sunday evening from his Lassen County sheep range. He says the sheep men who have driven their flocks to that sec- tion are doing very well with them, as dry feed is now plentiful and the sheep look well. But there is a great lack of water in mountains. Many of the streams have had no wa- ter in them during the past winter. The snow fall was light in the higher al- titude and for this reason there will be a scarcity of water in all the mountain regions. Ed Conrad, the Paynes Creek stockman was in town today. Adolph Olsen of the Halfway House and Jack McClure of Finley Lake came down Saturday eve- ning. June 20, 1899 — Mr. Collen, the sheep and cattle buyer is ex- pected here about July 1st, and will accompany E. H. Ward to his Las- sen ranges, where 4,000 head of sheep from the Cone & Ward band will be delivered to him. Several months ago he made a purchase of 6,000 sheep from Cone & Ward, but only 2,000 head were at that time delivered to him and he is now to receive the re- mainder.

JEAN BARTON Notes from 1899 The workshop Intro- duction to Native Bees as Pollinators is sched- uled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday, July 10 at 129 Holt Hall at CSU, Chico. There are many kinds of bees in nature, and even within urban areas in northern California. Rob Schlising and Rob- ert Irwin will showcase native bees for people who like nature in this work- shop, and for those who are involved in land man- agement and conservation. The workshop will also promote inviting these pollinating insects to work and live in your own gardens. No spe- cific knowledge of bees is needed ahead of time, although a basic under- standing of general in- sect morphology and some familiarity with di- chotomous keys would be helpful. The workshop cost is $100. The proceeds from the workshop help fund the Chico State Her- barium Curator Linnea Hanson. Register in ad- vance by calling the CSU, Chico Biology office at (530) 898-5356 or send- ing an email to jbraden@ csuchico.edu. Detailed workshop de- scriptions and sign up forms are available at www.csuchico.edu/biol/ Herb/Events.html. BUZZ WORDS Native bee workshop set in Chico By Chip Thompson editor@redbluffdailynews. com@editorchip on Twitter The UC Davis Veteri- nary Medical Teaching Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of Dr. Scott Katzman to its equine surgery team as an Assistant Clinical Pro- fessor of Equine Surgery. Katzman received his veterinary degree from the University of Minne- sota's College of Veteri- nary Medicine in 2004. Following three years in private practice, he came to UC Davis to complete an internship in Equine Medicine and Surgery in 2008 and a residency in Equine Surgery in 2011. Katzman has also worked as a researcher with Dr. Sue Stover in the UC Davis J.D. Wheat Vet- erinary Orthopedic Re- search Laboratory. "We are thrilled to have Scott return to UC Davis as a board-certified equine surgery specialist," said Dr. David Wilson, director of the VMTH. "He joins an al- ready strong team of tal- ented equine surgeons, and his recent experi- ence as a house offi- cer here at the VMTH and as a clinician at the Univer- sity of Min- nesota will not only benefit our patients, cli- ents and referring veteri- narians, but also positively impact the training of our students and residents." Katzman is a Diplomate in the American College of Veterinary Surgeons with a large animal emphasis. He is also a member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners. His research interests include racehorse injury preven- tion, diagnosis and man- agement of dynamic upper respiratoryobstruction,and gastrointestinal surgery. "Coming back to UC Davis is an opportunity for me to collaborate with some of the top spe- cialists in the veterinary field, as well as partici- pate in training equine surgery residents and vet- erinary students as they prepare for their future careers," said Katzman. VETERINARY UC Davis adds equine surgeon Katzman By David Klepper The Associated Press ALBANY,N.Y. Agricultural, food and beverage compa- nies have spent millions of dollars to defeat legis- lation in New York state that would require labels on food containing ingre- dients from genetically modified crops, highlight- ing the state's key role in the debate about what Americans should know about the products they consume. Supporters are mount- ing a final push for the proposal as state lawmak- ers work to wrap up their session. A vote on the bill hasn't been scheduled, but both sides say the stakes are too high to assume the bill is dead for the year un- til lawmakers end the ses- sion. Opponents spent $3.7 million last year on cam- paign donations and lob- bying in an effort to block the legislation, according to a report issued by the New York Public Interest Research Group and other groupssupportingthelabel- ing requirement. That's more than seven times the amount spent by supporters. Vermont, Maine and Connecticut have already adopted label laws, though the Maine and Connecticut laws require other neigh- boring states to follow suit before the laws are enacted. If New York moves to re- quire labels, Connecticut's law will automatically take effect.
