MINOR NOTES.
Where the Zanja Madrs is taken from
the river below the bluff, where the
railroad is SO demoralized, is danger
ous point in food time. Had not
the Southern Pacific Company held the
river back at that place last Tuesday. by
cut down gum trees, it would have
worked along the zanja, making sad
havoc of the district west Of the Downey
avenue bridge and west of the soap
works. 1t is a bad spot and should be
strongly protected.
Among the scenes along the river front
yesterday was tramp getting shave
right ia the stream, using cold water,
while "pai" held small glass before
him.
The stream below the soap works cut
in "a hours ending at P. NJ. yesterday
over twenty feet into the Hollenbeck
tract. This is very dangerous point
and should be one of the first to protect.
A current getting headway there would
90 straight for Alameda street.
The wreckers are still busy getting
out the fotsam from the river. Some
Of these illustrated the love Of "chance"
in the human mind. They will work
all day and get sopping wet for bit Of
wood, whereas ii they would 60 to work
days wages would buy ten times as
much fuel. They think they get their
wood for nothing.
From Also to First street and below
they are already dumping rubbish in the
river bed to help turn the next foodinto
the city. Stop i'll
All along the wrecked district people
are getting back into their houses. 1t
was nice day yesterday toget the floors,
clothing and things dry and the poor
sufferers little warm.
Such crowds as still flock to see the
sights. They ride in carriages. buggies,
herdics, wagons, on horse back, and go
on foot in long strings. All the way
from the l.. A. 4 $. G. V. Ry. bridge
to Seventh street they are to be seen.
The walking is little better now,
They were clearing off the sidewalks
along First street yesterday and getting
the mud out of the houses and front
yards where it covers up the shrubbery
and in some cases the fences.
The dead horse shot at the Bernard
warehouse on Alameda street, Tuesday
morning, still remains there in the
street. Remove him to-day
1t is curious TO notice the instinct OF
dread in other horses. which all want
to bolt as they pass their dead brother. !"
They show no such fear passing any
other dead object.
TeIegraphic facilities at present: East,
only the division wire Of the Railroad
Company; north a poor wire to Tulare,
which in turn has poor wire to Oakland
wharf, where the business is transferred
by steamer to San Francisco. No report
last night. Yesterday succeeded in get
ting wire to San Diego and one to San
Luis Obispo.
