Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1874-05-27

RACK YARDs.-Tbere are a good many in
the rear of the principal streets of Phoebe
that would be all the better for the safety
. the town and health of its inhabitants
II they (the yards, not the people) were
,borouphly cleared out. In many of
them there are collected heaps of chips,
hark and inhamable debris, that spark
falling from a neighboring stove pipe or
chimney famed by high wind, might
oansa a disastrous fire. Not only that,
bn, there are many accumulations of
rsfuse of all kinds, that are anything but
boaItbful; and under O hot sun, afford
o5ors that do not smack of "Araby's
snicv breezes." Our citizens would do
we'll TO take the hint and make general
clean ND. This would be well; but it
wonld not be well to dump the collec-
tops of refuse matter in the streets,
which we see was done the other day in
Lacour street. Cedar bark, old rags, tin
cans, broken bottles, rocks, ETC., are not
calculated to promote the beauty or
cleanliness Of our streets, or add to their
convenience. A practice prevails in
Phoebe of dumping the loose dirt and
rocks caused by grading lots, in the
streets, habit that shows an utter dis
regard of the rules which should govern
the disposal of such matters.
ZErHYRY.-Yesterday was marked by
continuous dose of those gentle breezes
that characterizes the region of the Com
stock, and known as Washoe zephyrs.
Heavens, how the dust did blow. Tin
cans would run merrily along until
caught by another aerial current, they
would rush joyously back, affording glad
some music suggestive of kettled canine,
while to add to the comfort of the situa-
ton, the air would be filled with dust,
paper, chips and everything else that the
playful gales could romp with. Boreas,
if that is his name, and it ought to be,
for he is an awful old bore-as bad as
Sutro, or the Salt Lake newspapers-iust
threw himself, and blew down signs,
ratified doors and windows and shook
houses until one would have thought the
old chap concluded that he was master
of the situation, and he was too, and
drove everybody in doors that did not
want to be smothered in dust and pelted
with old wrapping papers, rags and all
sorts OF trash. We can dispense with
such attentions for the future, and advise
Mr.. Boreas to retire to his old established
stamping ground, the divide between
Gold Hill and Virginia, the Ophir grade,
etc. We are not selfish, and the Com
stockers can keep him.
The OLD TUNE.-We can't help it, if
it is thrice told tale, but such day as
yesterday, blowing gale and everything
as dry as finder, makes us say what
we do. II the smallest blaze had been
caused by defective stove-pipe or live
embers thrown out carelessly in the
thickly inhabited part of the town, moth
could have saved it. We, therefore, for
about the hundred and fortieth time, beg
the citizens to be careful, or if they cam
not be careful, let them be as careful as
they can. Times are dull now, but they
would look considerably darker il a big
fire took place. We know it is tiresome
to revert to this matter so often, but we
daily see SO much carelessness that the
wonder is that the town has not had a
repetition Of its former disasters by fire.
FIGHrs.-We did not have any yester-
day, neither among the Indians or
whites. The fact is, the boys cannot
enjoy the christian-like amusement of
punching somebody's head when it
blows so. The hands OF the combatants
are too busy digging the dust out of their
own eyes, to permit them to plant arts.
tic touches on those of their opponents s.
Yesterday, therefore, was peaceful, but
time and opportunity permitting, aided
by the efforts of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, it is thought that
ploche will not lag behind her sister
