The bugling board boxes enclosing tne ground fronting tho new buildings in different parts of the cky cause pedestrians pedes-trians to walk out close to the puddles of mire possessing the highwavs. .Passing .Pass-ing horses splash the mud promiscuously promiscu-ously around and a shower of mire falls on the unsuspecting person. If the passers-by on Second South street are to be treated to the performances perform-ances of a bad man every Saturday night. He stood in front of a store and excitedly explained to the crowd how five men had attempted to hold him down in the muddy streets.

The altitude is just right for nervous individuals. indi-viduals. In this and other respects it is superior to Denver. As a place of residence it is more desiruV le than any part of California. Few if any cities can boast of wider streets, more exact squares, continuous rows of shade trees and water supply.
