A PREVALENT EVIL.
The Views of the 'sRecord-Unfon'' In.
dorsed and Emphasized.
Rresno Renuhlican

(Fresno Republican,
A recent conner to this State, in a let
ter to an Eastern journal, referring to
the dining station at Truckee, says:
Here in order to get to the dining
room we had to usher the ladies and
children of our party through a saloon
with its accompaniment of blear- eyed
loafers, tobacco smoke, whisky bottles
and bad SMELLS
Commenting upon this criticism, the
Sacramento Record Union" makes the
following remarks
There is nothing which strikes the
Eastern emigrant so forcibly as the
openness and badness of the saloon as
sociation with everything public in
California. Wherever a saloon is kept in
a station-house, ladies and children are
forced to hear the rough, profane and
vulgar language which is an insepara-
bic accompaniment of a saloon, and the
Eastern visitor is strongly repelled by
this coarseness, brutality and vice. The
people of California are so thoroughly
Injured to the accessories of drunken
ness that they scarcely realize the i'm
preston which the eternal presence of
whisky makes upon the newcomer.
There is scarcely an eating station
along the line of any road west of the
Rocky Mountains that is not an annex
to a saloon. In most cases the. passen-
gers must pass through these saloons to
get to the dining-room. It is not over
sensitiveness or over-niceness on the
part of decent people that they do not
like to pass through a saloon to reach a
dining-room. It is a perfectly natural
and highly commendable instinct, and
it is TO be regretted that the people of
California have not more of that same
instinct"
The Republican" desires to add such
emphasis as it may to the Record
Unions" comments. Our California
custom of running a saloon annex to
almost any variety of business would
be more honorable in the breach than in
the observance. It is anything but at
tractive to the better class of immi-
grants from the Eastern States; in fact,
its tendency is toward repulsion. Nor
does it bespeak high grade of civiliza-
ton. The saloon business is of vari-
ETY. that is more wisely kept in the
background but we force it upon every
newcomer (to say nothing Of residents)
as if it were one of the Growing glories
of the State. While we put drinking
place in majority of eating houses
and make our quasi-pubIic trips East
long-continued revels, we must accept
with such grace as we may the very
poor quality of advertising that this
sort of thing gives to US.

ROADS IN SOUTH COAST COUNTIES.
Lack of Method, and Waste of the
Public Money.
What Highway Commissioners Maude
and Irvine Found During
Their Journey.

| Highway Commissioner and Civil En-
gineer J. L. Maude returned from the
first portion of the official visitation of
southern and coast counties yesterday.
The Commissioners are now all here,
Chairman Manson having returned
| from the northern visitations on Thurs
day.
Mr.. Maude expresses great satisfac
tion with the visitations made by Com
missioner Irvine and himself in the CEN
trail and south coast counties. He says
that a great deal of valuable data was
gathered. At all points the Commits
sioners were well received and their
work greatly facilitated by the people.
The desire for reform in road matters,
and the inauguration of more economic
methods is general and outspoken
among all the people. Indeed. the
Commissioner is deeply impressed by
the spirit of the people in this regard.
Mr.. Maude does not wish, in anticipa-
| tion of the work of the bureau when it
| comes to compare data and study eco
nomic methods, to much remark upon
the detailed results of inspection thus
far. He says, however, that these facts
are established-that there is waste Of
public funds; that in but few localities
does an economic and correct road sys-
tenn prevail; that in every section it is
possible with present revenue to secure
greatly more beneficial results and that
people and officials are alike now com
ing to believe this truth where before it
was denied
The best work under Supervisor di-
rection yet found on the south coast, if
not anywhere, is in Santa Cruz County,
where the Supervisors, notably Messrs.
Linseott and Stanton, are proceeding
| according to scientific and economic
methods. The best bridge work found
was in steel on the Questa Grade, be-
tween Paso Robles and San Luis
Obispo.
In Ventura County the Commissioners
noted with great satisfaction the in
f1uence of intelligence under Surveyor
Powers, who has the right methods in
mind and practice, and is impressing
their economy upon the people
In Monterey County the poorest or
least economic system and work was
found. 1t is in Supervisor Porter's dis
trict, but they believe that reforms will
be instituted there, under the advice of
the bureau, if it is necessary.
The commissioners were gratified by
finding Supervisors Irving, Field and
Widden of Monterey ready to cooper
ate iii the institution of economic meth
DDS in road matters.
Some good road work was found in
Santa Barbara County, and the Com
missioners were especially pleased with
the plans and ideas of Supervisor Del
Questa.
All throughout the trip material in
plenty was found that ought to be and
can be used, though little of it now is,
in permanent road construction.
