GROSS NEGLECT.
An Alley Barricaded, But No Light
Placed There.

Yesterday afternoon a hole several
feet deep was sunk in the alley be-
tween Third and Fourth. J and K
streets, for the purpose of repairing
water or sewer pipe. On leaving their
work in the evening the workmen
placed heavy scantlings across the
alley at Third and Fourth streets, but
ignored the city ordinance which pro-
vides that lanterns must be hung be-
fore any distractions to thoroughfares.
About 10 o'clock the police patrol had
to cali to get a drunken woman from
the rear of a saloon in the alley The
wagon was driven around to the
Fourth street entrance and started in
at a sweeping trot. The mouth of the
alley is very dark and the first init
nation the driver had of danger ahead
was when his team crashed into the
scantling. One of the horses was
thrown, but regained it's feet without
difficulty. The heavy timber was
slivered and broken. but fortunately
no damage was done to either team or
wagon

OUR WATER SUPPLY.
Comment By An Up-River News
paper On Il.

(F'rom the Red Bluff News.)
The people of Sacramento are con-
graduating themselves because they
think the sewage from the Folsom State
Prison will not be emptied into the
American River any longer. They talk
about it as if they are to have pure
water hereafter The infatuation of
the Sacramento people over Sacramento
River water is something incompre-
hensible. Undoubtedly the emptying
of the filth of the Folsom Prison into
the American River does make the
water consumed by the people of Sacra-
mento more impure but il is absurd TO
think that the water in the river at
Sacramento will be pure without it,
The river water is unclean and unfit
to drink and there is no use in attempt
ing to disguise it. The river is Ma
ture's sewer for q great district of
country and is constantly in receipt of
a vast amount of filth, from dead ami
mails barn yards, hog pens. sheep. COW,
hog and horse pastures. farm houses,
towns, villages, etc, that either drain
into the main river direct or are car
ried to it by its tributaries. Every
rain that, falls of sufficient volume to
swell the water courses, takes into the
river a great quantity of filth. and this
is going on constantly from Sacramento
To Mt. Shasta and from the eastern
summit of the Sierra Nevada and west
ern summit of the Coast Range to the
