A MENACE TO HEALTH.
POINTERS FOR THE STREET DE-
PARTNIENT TO ACT ON.
bitches Filled with stngnant Water
and Disease Breeding Cess Pools
The Citizens Have Cause for
Complaint.

Inc attention of the street department.
is needed very badly on some of the lower
streets IN the western part of the city
The bitches are filled up and the water
is allowed to form in pools which, at this
season of the year, become breeding
places for disease. Numerous complaints
nave poured in on the board of health,
the council has heen notified of the con-
dltlon of affairs and some months ago
the street department was ordered to
grade certain streets, but up to the pres
ent time nothing has been done
In company with a city official a re-
Porter Of this paper yesterday visited
some OF the streets in that part of the
Guy. Inc conclusion arrived al was that
the people in the vicinity are fully ius-
the streets and bitches are absolutely
dangerous to the public health, and the
TACT that d1phtheria in its most viru-
lent form has made it's appearance in
the ne:ghborhood would tend to substan
nate the assertion. Not only that, but
The health officials aScribe the breaking
out Of that much terrible disease to the
sanitary condition of the vicinity
At Seventh West and First South the
street is practically nothing but a cess
pool: All the water from many adjacent
blocks is allowed to flow down to this
place, forming q stagnant pool The con-
is a large hume running into the City
creek surplus outlet it is not used. .Jere-
my avenue is another bad place There
are handsome residences along both sides
of it, bUt the street is in terrible con-,
diton- Water green from inpurity and
age has accumulated along the bitches on
both sides OF the avenue and there is
absolutely no outlet. D:phtheria has
made its appearance in two families on
this avenue.
On South Temple, between Seventh and
Eighth West, it is nearly as bad in some
places, although there seems to be an
outlet to the water, which flows slug
gishly along in the bitches.
Some two months ago Seventh West,
between South Temple and Second South,
was ordered graded, but as previously
indicated the order Of the council has
not been obeyed. 1t is said that there
is clash between the irrigation and the
street deartment which is largely the
cause of the present condition of affairs.
The former department maintains that
the street department ought to better the
condition of the streets, while the street
supervisor thinks the other department
ought to flush the bitches and keep clear
water running through to carry off all
impurities and offal.
However this may be, the street de-
partment is expanding its monthly al
lowance in grading streets that are al
ready in fair condition, while that section
of the city where the work is most needed
is utterly neglected. The council will
in all probability take some steps to-
night to remedy the matter.

In Bic Cottonwood.

A. A. Brim is down from Mill F, South
Fork of Big Cottonwood canyon, where
he is experimenting Developments on
the Sensation group of mines. Just as
he left fine body of sand and grey
carbonate ore was being broken into
in the face of the 460-foot tunnel, and
he is confident that this property will
develop into one of the greatest mines
in Big Cottonwood Mining district.
In the same locality the Old Oregon
mine is being extensively developed by
q Mr.. Stanley of Chicago, its owner
This property shows large bodies OF low
grade ore near the surface, but a new
hoist has been put in this spring, and
it is the intention to do some deep min
ing in order TO determine the extent and
value of the ore bodies.

Swanson the Only Stock to Record n
Sale in the Pit.
The stock market was inactive yes
terday and there was but one transfer
of stock made, Swansea being the
only security that seemed to be in
active demand, a hundred shares
changing hands at $2.10.
The other stocks, both listed and
unlisted, were unusually slow and the
difference between the bidding and Of
ferings on these was very marked.
There is still considerable talk of
inaugurating two daily calls of the
board, and the idea IS growing in ia
vor among the members of the eX-
change, as it is held that the morning
call viii establish the quotations, and
that in the afternoon the trading upon
these quotations will be quite active.
As it is but little business is being
done at the regular call, after which
sales are made on the street. with the
morning quotations as d basis to trade
on.
With two calls the public could be
better served, as. when sales are made
on the floor of the exchange, the
stockholder, who has intrusted his in
terests with some broker, knows just
what his stock has been sold for. With
street sales it is different, as the dealer
will not only then get his commission,
but, for all the StOclhCider knows 10
the contrary, a little more.
The transactions of the day were as

one of the Mckinley men put it
this way yesterday: Il know the sub
ject has been discussed by the execu-
tive committee, and understand that
as a matter of principle it is favored
by a majority Of the memb ers; but as
a. matter of policy I do not believe
they view the idea of enforcing a Nc
Knley qualification as expedlent, and
fer that reason do not think they will
undertake it, as it would undoubtedly
result in a complete separation of the
two elements of the party in which
event neither could hope for success.
No, / do not think any such thing
will be undertaken, but believe the
primaries will be thrown open to all
Republicans and leave it to the con-
ventions to settle as TO who are entitled
to be seated by considering and passing
upon any contest that may be entered"
In this connection it is apparent that
the Mckinley men expect to secure
control of the convention in the same
manner as did their confreres at st.
Louis. That is by seating the Nc
Kinley delegation wherever there is a
contest. The Mckinley leaders ap-
parently feel secure in the belief that
the outside counties will come in

He CauCht'the Lightning.

Mr.. Bishops cruise along the Attain
tic coast of the United States in a
paper canoe, some years ago, excited
wide remark. and his advent here and
there in little inlets where he sought
shelter for the night was often a great
event, especially to the colored inhabit-
ants. That man could sail in a paper
boat was indeed a marvel. OF his re-
ception at one such place he gives the
following account:
The blacks crowded around the ca
noe, and while feeling it's firm texture,
expressed themselves in their peculiar
and original way. One of them, known
as ''tonguey niger" volunteered 20
explain the wonder.
To the question from one negro,
How did dis yere Yankeeman come all
dis fur way in de paper canoe, all his
SET 'lone:" the educated" negro re-
piled:
Its all de Lord No man ken come
so fur in paper boat eff de Lord didn't
help him. De Lord does eberyting. He
puts de rings in de Yankeeman's heads
to do 'em, an dey does 'em. Oar was
Franklin up Norf, dat made de tele-
graph Did We eber har tell oh him."
"Nebber, nebber" answered many
voices, and with n look of commisera-
ton for such ignorance, the orator pro-
ceeded:
Dis great Franklin, Cap'n Franklin.
he tort he'd kotch de lightning and
make de telegraph; so he flies big
kite way up to de heabens, an he puts
de string in de bottle dat hab muffin in
it. Den he holds up de bottle in one
han, an he holds de cork in de udder
han. Down comes de lightning an
fills de bottle full up, an Capn Frank
lin he done cork him up mighty quick,

Thunder Myth.

A curious thunder myth is related by
Mr. ~ l.. AlgerS, who heard it from au
old Penobscot Indian woman. 1t ap-
pears that every spring these Indians,
on hearing the first thunder, build
fire in the open air, and throw tobacco
on it to give Grandfather Thunder
smoke. The custom originated in I
legend of the PenObscots to the effect
that a young woman of the tribe was
once saved from a ''loathy worm by
thunder and lightning. Mr.. Louis
Mitchell. once the Indian member o.
the Maine Legislature and a PaSSama.
quoddy Indian, assured Mr.. Ayers that
no Indian property is ever injured by
lightning. which is regarded as Grand
father Thunder'S wife"

His Thought.

\ man who is sad or sorry is often
approached best from the commonplace
side. In the History OF the Town Of
Bedford is n story of a misanthrOp;c
patient in Il Washington hospital dur
ing the war. He had compound frac-
ture of the knee, and as he was in pain
most Of the time, could scarcely be eX-
pccted to prove jOvial companion
Yet, although he steadily froWncu
down all efforts at conversation, one
lady, who was staying in the hospital
TO nurse her husband, succeeded in get
ting into his life one little wedge of
human kindlinesS She writes:
He does not care TO have me read
or speak to him; we call him south
Carolina" because he wishes to be let
alone"
One morning. rs l took my usual
walk down the aisle. his head was rest
ing on his hands and he looked very
solemn. felt that he was homesick L
was determined To call him out of him
self if | could. Acting ON the impulse
of the moment, l said:
"A penny for your thoughts, sir.''
To my surprise he did not frown. as
he had done before when | had spoken
to him, but said quietly: My thought
is too foolish to tell
Perhaps not" l replied.
We'll" said he, Il was just wishing
l could have some buttermilk biscuit
for breakfast, like those the woman
used to make with whom l boarded in
New Hampshire"
He told me her name and where she
lived and then | could say that she
was my husbands cousin. That made
Il beginning, and since then l have
dared 10 BE neighborly.'
