THE RAMS HORN.
Corporation Counsel Donworth Gets .
Thwack at 1t.

A petition was recently presented to the
board OF public works by the Columbia IL
Puget Sound Railroad Company, asking
for permission to lay third rall on Rail-
road avenue. across Yesler. to the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern depot. AT present
it has two rails. but, being narrow gauge
road, it can not transfer the cars of other
roads. 1t therefore sought to lay down
one more rail and thus allow other narrow
or broad gauge cars to be carried.
The petition was referred to the corpora
tion counsel, and yesterday Mr.. Donworth
made the following reply:
have received the communication of the Co
lumbia & Puget Sound Railroad Company ad-
dressed to your honorable body, asking pernis
sion to lay one track along the rightof-way
claimed by il from the south line of Yesler ave-
uuc to the south line OF Columbia street, which
has been referred to me.
1t has been the established policy OF the city
ever since the grca. fire of June 6, 1889, to re-
frain In every way from recognizing any claim
of the Columbia d Puget Sound Railroad Com
pany to any right-of-way north OF Yesier ave-
nue.. Under the city charter your powers in
granting permits fer railroad construction are
limited to cases where franchises have been
granted by the city council. If this company
has a franchise TO locate track in the place
named IL will be your duty TO grant permit,
unless for some temporary reason you judged it
for the city's interest TO temporarily delay the
construction of the track If you should grant
the permit desired in this case, you would rec
ognize the so-called rams horn right-of-way as
valid.
In my opinion there should be no recognition
of this right-of-way, considering the numerous
contests that have arisen over il, until the city
council sees fit to affirm the railroad companys
claim or to grant franchise anew.

Ocean Island Il Inhabited.

PoRr TOWNSEND. June 16.-[Special. i
The captain of the Norwegian bark Ellora,
which has just arrived from Melbourne,
reports calling at Ocean island in the
South Pacific ocean, almost due south of
Hawaii. The island is marked on the
charts as uninhabited. He says when he
stopped there fifteen natives came off to
the ship in small canoes They were of a
malay type. not less than five feet eight
inches in height, robust and of very fair
complexion. One native greeted the Wis
itors with good morning" and another
asked for tobacco. which was the extent of
their knowledge of the English language.
Two or three wore small mats as hreech
clothes and the Others were attired in
brand new smiles. They had no nipple
ments of warfare and seem ed very peacea-

How the Motors Act as Brakes.

The new method of stopping electric cars
which has been adopted on the Woodland
Park line. and which was mentioned in
yesterdays Posr-lNTELLIGENcER, is work
ing simply by throwing the reversing
switch without the use of the current from
the trolley. BY this means the two motors
are connected in a circuit. and. as in such
case one motor acts as generator and
the other as motor, SO that they tug in
opposite directions, they are quickly
brought to stop. This arrangement is
particularly useful TO prevent runaways on

"The bonanza Nine"

Border drama, as rule, has warmer
supporters among theater-goers in the
East than IN the West, and the reason
being obvious no explanation is required.
Seattle theater-lovers, however, show by
their liberal patronage of Cordray's this
week that a strong depletion of Western
life has still got its charms. "The Bonanza
Mine" drew another large house last night
and the auditors applauded the performers
and the scenic effects with undated vigor.
In the auditorium there were the same
tokens of approval as on previous nights,
and everybody was delighted.

Is Really Social Animal.

WAwoNA, Cal, Feb. els man essen
tally social animal? The scientists
saw so. But in the mountains of this
state there are almost enough men who
for years have lived a life of utter soil
tude to disprove the generalization.
These mountain hermits can be found
scattered through the Sierras and the
Coast range from one end of the state
to the other. They are particularly
numerous through this region, centering
about the Yosemite valley and extend
ing far back into the high Sierras.
Some Of them were once guides in
the valley, others have been miners and
some again seem to have taken up the
life of solitude simply because they like
it.
To this class belongs old P. r. Gibson
-"Old Glib" as he is generally called
who lives on a mountain ranch not far
from here. He is seventy-fve years old,
Dut I'D ESoGOnoC0 VI DIS A11OS1A P1Iy CiSeSA
strength and endurance as the average
man Of half his age. He came here
thirty years ago from Tennessee, where
he left wife and large family of chill
dren. One of his sons came to see him
recently and tried to induce him to visit
his former home, but "Old Glib stead
fastly refused to leave his little ranch
ifoy has
d railroad, and the stage drivers from
the nearest station try their utmost to
persuade him to go to town and at least
look at train of cars. But his inva-
riable answer is, "Do you think I'm 60
ing down there to be blowed up by one
of them there blamed engines? Not
muchr'
Nearly all the men who live this life
Of solitude very long get a bit queer in
the head, and sold Glib is no exception
to the rule. He has rigmarole descrip-
ton of himself which declares that he is
ssthe best man in the United States or adj
joining territories, either directly or in
directly, financially, commercially, &C.
Realistically or unchurchifed. The old
man is hard worker, and when he is not
busy on his ranch he is working energet-
ically making s'shakes;" that is, clap
boards split and sawed by hand from big
pine trees.
Old man Lambert, who has cabin in
the high Sierras some twenty or thirty
miles back of the Yosemite, is another of
the mountain hermits. He has neither
ranch nor mining claim, but lives by
what he shoots and by an occasional few
dollars earned from camping parties. He
has lived alone in that same spot for
years and years, and will in all likeli-
hood stay there until he dies. There are
months at time that he does not see an
other human being. party of campers
last summer found him making huge
stone wall that seemed to have no pur-
pose whatever. In surprise they asked
him what he was piling up those stones
for.
sWhy," he said, s'a mans got to do
something, up here alone, or he'll go
wrong, sure"

that she cannot live without it. I have
given it to my children with very satisfac-
