RETENGEFUL BOBOS.
They Burn James Hollands Fine
New Barn.
Carriage, Buggy and Wagon Also
Destroyod--A Man Seen Rum
ming Away.

About half-past o'clock last night a
fine new barn on the premises Of James
Holland, near the American River
bridge, ami on the line Of the proposed
Sixteenth street road. was set on fire and
burned to the ground.
Being well outside the city limits and
far removed from fire protection, it was
impossible to save it. A carriage, a buggy
and a wagon were also destroyed, and W.
Ii. Basler was badly burned about the
hands in trying to save the vehicles.
There is no question but that the fire
was the work Of an incendiary. Some
boys saw a tall man run away from the
building just as the flames burst forth.
He was dressed in dark coat and vest
and blue oyeralIs.
Mr.. Holland has been greatly annoyed
by tramps occupying his barn at night,
and recently the place was raided and a
large gang Of thom arrested. 1t is be-
lieyed that last nights incendiarism was
the work OF one or more Of tho hobos who
were gathered in at that time.
Mr.. Holland was not on the ranch at
the time of the FIRE, his present residence
being at 1904 q street, in this city.

Who is Putting up!

EDS. RECORD UNION: Ever since the
Trustees notified the people that on Sat
urday, the 10th inst, they would be called
upon to decide whether they wanted good
pure water in place of the present often
sive river water, l have heard the cry:
There's a job in itn' Nobody attempts
to explain where the Job is, but they
continue the cry just the same.
have not been able to discover where
the lob" is, though / have searched dill
gently, but l do see evidences that there
are underhand and extraordinary agen-
cIes at work to prevent this city from hav-
ing pure water supply. Certain peoule
VINO generally have 10 work Tor living,
now spend their entire time on the streets
denounclng the clearwater proposition,
and the stockton -Hut IS publishing edi
torlals advising our people TO reject it.
Now | would like to have some one in
form me why the Stockton N0ti should
take such special interest IN sacramento
Just now. 1t has never been friendly to
this city, and has time and again pub
ushed the most outrageous statements
against Sacramento. l have heard sew
eral reasons given for the opposition to
the pure water proposition. I have heard
the opinion expressed that somebody was
paying the 1idiL for its work. While
others have said thar it is simply iuuu-
enced by its jealousy and hatred of Sac
ramento; that it feared ii this city Sc
cured pure, clear water, it would grow
into great and prosperous city, leaving
Stockton far IN the rear TO Slumbe among
is slOughs.
l have heard not one but dozens of
people assert openly, and claiming to
know whereof they speak, that the oppo-
sition was started and is fostcred bv
people interested in breweries: that the
latter believe that people drink vast
quantities OF beer here now because they
are afraid to drink the water
Others think that people Interested in
selling filters IA vast number Of which
are now disposed OF here every year are
contributing to the defeat Of the pure
water plan. Of course their occupation
would be gone If the new water is Sc
cured, so tar as Sacramento is concerned
Many shreWd business mon, who
search for reasons for mems actions
think that the owners of mountain water
supplies are also at work to defeat the
well proposition. These argue that the
owners OF mountain sources Of supply,
while they do not hope to supply this
city with water, still wish to keep it as
prospective customer and-~ell their water
stock to Eastern people on the represen-
tation that they Will some day have a fine
customer in the city OF Sacramento
Now l do not pretend to know whether
any or all OF these surlulses are true, but
l 90 know that some very mysterious
power is ut work to prevent this city
from getting supply OF pure, clear and
healthful water. Who is behind it? Who
IS putting up for it? j. w. G..

WATCHING THE MINERS.
Monthly Meeting Of the Anti-DebriS
Committee.
One Violator of an Injunction Fined
The Rivers at Present Clearer
Than Ever Before.

The Executive Committee of the State
Anti-Debris Association held its regular
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon at
the rooms of the Board of Supervisors, J.
NJ. Morrison, the Chairman, presiding,
and Robert Cosner of Sutter acting as
Secretary.
The Manager submitted his usual
monthly report, which was read and or
dered placed on file. From this report
it appears that T. Harrington was fined
800 by the Superior Court of Yuba
County for prosecuting hydraulic mining
in Plumas County, contrary to the pro
visions of an injunction served upon him.
A report was received from Mr.. Flint,
a chemist Of MarysviIle, who took sam
pies of water each day during the month
of July from the Yuba River for the pur-
pose of determining the amount of sedi-
mentary matter carried in suspension.
He gave the results of each days exami-
nation, and added in a foot-noto that the
river was clearer than it had ever been
before.
Mr.. Flint has made these examinations
for many years. and his report is en-
couraging in showing what the associa-
ton has accomplished in clearing the
rivers. Inc 6aJner RlVer was also re-
ported to be in a highly improved con-
dition.
The Secretary reported that the Federal
Debris Commission appointed under the
Caminetti bill would hear the application
of the Kelly Hill Gravel Mine Company
of Butte County for permission to mine
under the provisions of the Caminetti
law at San Francisco on August 29th, and
would hear similar applications from the
| Farrell and Omega Companies, whose
mines are situated in Nevada County, on
| September 4th.
The committee instructed r. I. Devlin,
! as attorney for the association, to repre-
sent it at these hearings and to take such
action as in his judgment he might deem
best.
The memorial prepared by sub-com-
mittee on the hydraulic mining question
in California, to be presented to mem bers
of Congress, was read and approved.
1t was reported that the manager had
gone to Washington to watch any legis-
lation that might come before the pres
ent special session of Congress affecting
the interests of the valley.
The committee then went into an ex-
animation of the bills presented. and after
finishing its routine business adjourned
till the next regular meeting to be held
next month in this city.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres OF
land in the heart Of Tehama County. for the
purpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. to
land Of fair average quality, aud is offered at
from SO to $50 per acre, in subdivisions Of
40, so, 100, 16O ana 32O acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first Of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid tor three years, ana then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annu!n.
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land Of fair average quality ut $40 per acre.
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. and cs-
pecialy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from SEQ TO
800 an acre. An examination Of the land
subject of this advertisement win prove TO
hor"e-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at 500
an acre, and for qualities grading down to latr
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
Of those lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking up Of a lar-e
holding for the purpose OF promoting its ynt-
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.

for his visitor to depart, which he seemed
in no hurry to do. Mahan reached out
and securing pole with sharp iron
prod in each end of it, used about the
slaughter yard as a beef gambrel, treated
him to several thrusts IN the ribs. which
made him take TO his heels, after few
snaps and grOwls in protest. releasing
Mahan from his cramped quarters.
The boys were inclined to doubt the

Mrs. Weber's Experience is Lost on
other Dog PoIsoners.
It seems that the recent conviction of a
woman in this city for poisoning dogs
has not as yet carried terror to the hearts
of the dog-poisoning fraternity, although
the gates of the penitentiary are standing
ajar for all such creatures.
On Sunday night several dogs were
poisoned in the city, and others are also
reported as having been killed at Calf by
the same method. But for the fact that
the guilty person discovered last week
was woman an example would have
been made OF her.
II some male poisoner should be caught
at his work no leniency viii he shown
him, as the public is weary OF the killing
of harmless and valuable dogs.
