A movement is on foot among a nipnher of prominent citizens who favor the organization of a civic Im provement league here to petition tho city council to clean Front street and tho more public portions of the city of the peanut and "hot dog" stnnds nnd express wagons which now decorate them. While no movement has as yet boon made to circulate a petition, the frequency with which visitors to the city hnve sarcastically alluded to the hourly ropo throwing contests Indulg ed In by the expressmen who station themselves In full view of onu of tho leading hotels has stirred busi ness moil to discussing seriously the formation of some menus to transfer the "frontier day" exhibition to a more Kccludod spot. Tho tent-like structures on wheels from which tho "hamburger" vendor? nlKhtly illHtrlbuto tholr wares have alwo come In for their share of caus tic comment, the more no now that recent chniiitoH In the lobby of the Noah hotel permit of an iinlnterrupt ed view of those "dining out a la wrtlo)."
