WHOLESALE POISONING.

Many Family Watchdogs Recently Dis
posed OF.
The police are hot on the trail Of the
scoundrel who has been poisoning dogs
by the wholesale in the vicinity of Fifth
street. from n to p, and if caught-as he
is likely to be-nothing can prevent him
from going to the State penitentiary
In one night recently no less than fl We
household pets were poisoned, among the
victims being City Auditor Young's ia
vorite hunting dog. Poison has been
found on bread thrown into yards for
dogs to pick up, and the only wonder is
that very young children nave not been
poisoned, as they are apt to eat articles Of
food wherever found.
The law makes dogs property, and If
the destroyer OF so many valuable ami
mails should be caught he will have u
chance TO work in the quarries for many
years.
The canine destroyer has probably been
doing this work the better to enable him
to burglarize dwellings, and there are
lots OF shotguns awaiting his anticipated
visits.
A strong clew TO the identity Of the dog
slayer has been obtained, and detectives
are following it up.

Can This be True2

EDS. RECORD UNION: l am moved to
make the following remarks by the
scandalous condition OF the city Water
Works grounds: Cleanliness like char
ity should begin at home. and while the
Health officer and other officials are
looking with powerful glasses IN the air
and through Chinatown for cholera
germs and microbes, right under their
august noses exists q dlsgraceful spot,
which would make Chinaman sneer
with good cause at the Mclean man. L
refer TO the ward in the rear OF the city
Water Works. This will be the first
thing to greet the eyes of visitors who
cross the new bridge from the vest. THIS
filthy place can hardly iail to call forth
adverse criticism from those people
in whose estimation we want to stand
highest. For two years L nave known
this place to have been used as dump
ing ground for all the diseased rags and
clothing from the city lookup, rotten
lumber from all parts of town, old tin
cans and plates, besides the sweepings of
all the municipal offices, mixed IN de-
lightful mess and kept in state OF Ter
mentation by the blow-of from the
Water Works boilers.
Noxious weeds grow to great hight
everywhere. Until q short time ago 1t
was no uncommon sight to see several
men at time sitting behind trees and
coal oil cans disobarging these duties Tor
which water closets are provided. An
other convenient place was used as
burial ground for amputated arms, legs
and other scraps from the Receiving
Hospital, which were all put within easy
reach OF hungry dogs.
Now | don't ask to have this place
made thing of beauty and a Joy forever.
but do think it ought to receive some
attention from those who are chasing the
unhappy property-owner around and
compelling him to make costly improve
ments in the interests of public health
and comfort. Why cannot the proper
authorities clean this place up and give
politics a rest? A. b.

SACRAMENTO VALLEY EDITORS.
Public Money should Assist Immigra-
ton Work.
From the San Francisco CALL

rom the san francisco Oall.
Among the important policies agreed
upon by the editors OF the Sacramento
Valley, whose convention at Marysville
has Just been held, was one for the advO-
cncy OF an immigration headquarters TO
be located somewhere in the valley for
the temporary care, free OF charge, OF i'm
migrants pending their selection of a
home. The idea is original and valuable.
The reports OF the meeting do not indi-
cate the plan for installing and maintain
ing the headquarters, nor for informin z
immigrants OF the accommodations pro-
vided for them, nor for inducing imni-
grants to come and avail themselves of
the opportunity, but we assume that an
intelligent plan has been devised and
that the editors are prepared to urge its
promotion and know how to ccomplish
1t.
at the same meeting a discussion was
had concerning the proper means for the
use of the 81. 900 which Boards of Super
visors are authorized by law to eXpend
annually for advertising the resources
and attractions Of their counties, with 8
view 10 induce immigration, and the
sense of the meeting was that the money
should be distributed among the papers
OF the county in payment for special de-
scriptive articles.
1t is entirely right that the money
should go to the county papers. and that
there should be an intelligent plan for
their distribution. This idea worked in
connection with the one of having an i'm
migration headquarters constitutes an
admirable scheme Tor promoting immi-
grafton, and the intelligence and energy
of the sacramento Valley editors may be
depended on for its successful operation.
ii the local governing bodies OF the in
terror counties should display the earn
estness characteristic of the interior press
the evil of bad roads, neglected Industries
and the unscientitic handling of natural
resources would disappear. AS the most
efficient agency to that end the news
papers deserve to have their power for
the good OF the State increased by the
payment TO them OF whatever public
moneys are set apart for advancing the
interests OF California.
