KEEP THINGS CLEAN.
A Few Hints to Property Owners,

A hint in time etc, should be

Tor DE health of this community that
sorae of the following will be taken
in the right sense.
Carson is an incorporated city and
has existed under such rule for nearly
a quarter OF a century; and an in
corporated city is supposed to enjoy
many blessings under such rule,
How W. this may be there is d start
ling fact that this city does not 1e-
ceive proper attention from its own
citizens.
There are many alley-ways that are
at present filled with all kinds of
d11t md rubbish, It shonl1 be re-
NOV d. There are many business
houses with back yards, they are
filled with dirt and trash. They
should be cleaned. There are a mum
beT of stores on the maiu street that
are tttered with boxes and papers
the roprietors should see that they
are eaned. Yesterday we were taken
into he back yard of one of the first
busire ss buildings in the town and
was >hown a garbage heap that is
guaranteed to breed anything from
mumps to yellow fever, If the PEG.
pie in that neighborhood wish to be
counted among tbeliving they want
that place cleaned,
1t IS simply a matter of neglect and
ever one who has their own health
at stake should see that the places
are properly cleaned before the
warm weather sets in.
Near Chinatown there IS a house
that partially burned / year. 1t
has been used for a pest house by the
Chinese and everyone thought when
it uIned that the authorities would
finish the work by appling the torch.
DuSI Was IOL TIC case ana Inc place
Still lands, nuisance to health and
a rendezvous for the Indians and a fit
place for scoundrely whites to peddIe
whiskey to the red man. Only last
week a dead Chinaman was takeni to
this place and laid on a table until
buried. It is now used as a morgue
for the Celestials. 1t should be burn

of desease have been growing in its
walls for several years.
About the town are several ramble-
shack buildings that should be con-
DENIED. They are foul traps of the
worst order aud offer shelter to any
tramp or hobo and it is only a matter
of tin. when they will be the means
of eau ing irrepairable damage to this
city. They should be CONDEMNED and
ripped down and the sooner the
better.
