Agitation for Improved Street Clean
ing in Oakland.
The people of Oakland are awakening
TO realization of the fact that the old and
primitive methods of street-cleaning will
not longer answer. The Enquirer says ::
"R. w. Snow, the City Auditor, in a
snort letter which is printed elsewhere,
calls attention to the amount of money
which the city spends for cleaning streets
without having them actually clean ex-
cept for a few weeks during the year. AS
he remarks. one of the first things upon
which visitors comment untavorably is
the flthiness of the cutters. In five
years the city has paid out $4,000 for
et-cieanlng-mostly gutter-cleanIng-
and The results are not good.
The average expenditure is $4,000 a
year, and the practice is to employ a
large force during month or two i'll the
talI to clean the whole town. Then the
dirt collects for another twelve months,
and awaits the next annual cleaning.
This is very primitive method, and so
long as 1t prevails we will never have
clean cutters, as we might have all the
year around, at probably less expense, if
we would go AT II in the right way"

EDITORS AMONG TEE SNOWDRIFTS.
They Had Glorious Time in the
Sagebrush State.
A Visit to the Comstock and Other
Points-Old and Young In
duIge in Snowballing.

The members of the California Press
Association, who started on an excursion
to Reno and Virginia City on Tuesday
night last, reached this city on their re-
turn trip at o'clock yesterday afternoon,
having had the most enjoyable outing in
the history of the association, which is
saying great deal.
The party numbered seventy ladies
and gentlemen. They had a special train
of Pullman sleepers, paid for by the
association. The party was delayed on
Wednesday on account of an accident to
another train, and did not reach Reno
until after midnight, greatly disappoint-
ing the citizens of that hospitable city.
who had prepared to give them an elab-
crate reception.
On Thursday the eXcursionists went to
Virginia City, and spent the day in de-
scendlDg into the famous mines or the
Comstock, and in sleigh-riding. Return
ing to Reno in the evening, they found
that the people of that place do not per-
nit difficulties to Vanquish them. They
had prepared grand banquet in the Pa
vllloD, with seats for all the guests and a
couple OF hundred warm hearted ladies
and gentlemen of the city, who extended
hearty greeting. Alter the hungry Wis
ltors had partaken of the very excellent
supper, served in elegant style by the
charming young ladies of the community
there were speeches by hosts and guests
and the banquet-table was not deserted
until late hour. 1t was magnificent
affair, and was highly appreciated by the
guests.
A few of the eXcursionists who re-
manned in Reno during the day were
driven about the city and to places of in
terest in the valley by citizens, and were
both delighted and surprised at what
they saw. Reno is really a charming
city, and the valley in which it is slIu-
ateu most productive one. X. l.. Full
ton, one OF the leading citizens of Reno;
h. ID. Kelly Of the Journal. and a. c.
Bragg OF the Gazette, were untiring in
their efforts to contribute to the pleasure
of the guests, and so were the large num-
Der OF ladies and gentlemen composing
the various committees. The visitors
will rememb Der for the rest OF their lives
the splendid hospitality OF the people of
both Reno and Virginia City. Carson
had also made extensive preparations to
welcome the editors and their families,
but the latter did not have time to remain
and enjoy the hospitality of the Capital of
the State.
The eXcursionists left Reno at 5:I5 yes
terday morning and arrived in Truckee
for an early breakfast, and then came
over the mountains, stopping at Tunnel
IL, Summit, Cisco, Cape Horn and other
places OF interest at their pleasure. The
snow was from three to six feet deep at
different points, and at each STOP there
was bout at SnoW-balling, which created
no end OF amusement,

AN UNSATISFIRD JUDGMENT
1t Gives Rise to a New Suit Against
the YoSt Brothers.

1t Gives Rise to a New Suit Against
the YoSt Brothers.
William Mcconnell, by his attorney, AL
bert NJ. Johnson, has commenced suit in
the Superior Court against Noah Y Yost,
June Z. Yost and Mrs. NJ. L. Gallup for
the recovery of a judgment for S699 TO-,
rendered against the defendants Yost.
Plaintiff claims that on November 13,
1889, the Yosts, being indebted to Mrs.
Gallup. executed to her their promissory
note for 81, 200, with interest thereon at
the rate OF 81 per cent. per annum, and to
secure payment OF the note mortgaged to
her their property, which Is part of the
large tract of land known as the Rancho
Rio de los Americanos, or Leidesdorf
Grant, in this county; also, thirty lead of
horses in Placer County and twenty-five
head in this county.
Subsequently the Yosts executed
promissory note to Mcconnell for 5000, at
the rate OF per cent per month. On Oc-
tober % 1894, following, Mcconnell Sc
cured judgment for S64S and $40 90 costs.
The Sheriff was directed TO levy on the
property to obtain the Judgment, but he
has been unable to do so on account of
the prior mortgages on the property.
The entire property is valued at SD, 900.
and the plaintiff claims that the Yosts
have no other property, and unless he is
permitted recourse against the property
he will be prevented from resorting to
the assets OF the defendants Yost for the
purpose of satisfying the judgment.
Plaintiff prays for an accounting be-
tween the parties, and that Mrs. Gallup
be required to set forth the extent of her
claim against her co-defendants, and tina.
she be required to exhaust the real part
OF the property for the payment of her
mortgages before resorting to any of the
personal property; that he be declared to
have an exclusive and prior lien upon
the personal property, and that ne be
permitted to levy thereon the writ of ex-
ecution obtained by him.

REVENGE IS SWEET.
Now the Local Press Shooters A
Even With Editor Durst

| Now the Local Press Shooters Are
| Even With Editor burst.
A good joke is being told on Editor
burst OF the Wheatland Four Corners.
He is the wing-shot who came down
here on Thanksgiving Day and made
monkeys of the other newspaper men
who tried to beat him at bluerock shoot
ing.
While here the Wheatland editor ac-
cepted an invitation from l.. a. Upson,
| the Athletic Club wheelman, to join him
| in duck-shoot down at Clarksburg. ami
a few days ago they made the trip. On
their way home they were driving along
! the road, when Upson spied some wild
| geese in stubbIefeld couple Of hundred
| yards away.
They had a rife with them, and burst
was only too eager to take crack at the
geese. Resting the rifle on the fence and
taking good aim he banged away. The
| bullet stirred up little cloud of dust
near one of the geese, but the bird never
moved. Then burst shifted the sights a
little and blazed away again. There
was another cloud of dust showing where
the bullet struck, but not goose budged.
l. "Wh hat kind of geese have you down
here ?" asked the disgusted Wheatlander
of his companion.
! OAAi tho SSSSc are replied
Upson, but why don't you hit one? ?''
Again burst drew bead and pulled the
trigger, landing the bullet in the bank of
a ditch beyond, but on line with one of
the stolid geese.
He was preparing for another shot
when mans arm was seen to rise from
! the ditch, holding aloft hat. Then slowly
the owners head rose above the surface,
and he called to the shooter to desist
You blamed ijitv' he yelled. "Whar
n thunder dye come from? Tux 'em
fer geese, did yer? Why, any man that
! lad ever seen or hern tell Nv goose
would Ter known them wasn't geese
Sometimes we fool er flock er geese with
| painted boards, but I'd never wud er
thot any man what 'ad ever seen er

The Wheatland man didn't want to
| hear any more. he cast one reproachful
look toward the tranquil decoys and re-
turned to the buggy. He did not have
much to say on the way home, and only
| once referred to the incident lust mem
| toned. Then he remarked
! SAY, Epson, PHI leave it to vou. if
almost those decoys wouldn't fool any-
