NANTUCKET'S LITTLE RAILROAD.
Oddities of Travel to 'Sconset Recorded
in the Annual Report

IN thc annual report
A special dispatch to the New York
Sun from Boston says: Martha's Vine
yard has been attracting a good deal
of attention recently because of the
changes in the shore line made by the
late storm. Not the least Of the odd
tiles of the island is the Nantucket
Central railroad, the annual report of
which has just been issued.
According to this report 240 round
trips We're made during the year from
Nantucket to Siasconset, better known
as 'Sconset. On only one trip did a
passenger refuse to pay his fare, and in
this case the conductor, after arguing
the matter half way to 'Sconset, ran
back to Nantucket and elected the pas
senger. Only one pass is issued, to the
proprietor of the read.
The conductor is also general man.
ager of the road, train dispatcher and
division superintendent. The engineer
is master mechanic, chief of transport
tation and overseer of the roadbed
The fireman drives the express wagon
between trips, keeps the books and
distributes ice. A round-trip ticket for
the IS miles costs so cents for the pas
senger and another so for his trunk. A
second trunk is carried Tor ~ cents and
third for 20 cents, but as the sched-
ule allows for only three trunks, the
conductor ruled last season that at the
fourth trunk he must begin over again
at so cents.
The report says that twice during the
year. owing to the Observation-Disclosures
of the engineer in not taking coal
enough at Nantucket, the passengers
We're forced to walk along the beach
and pick up driftwood enough to steam
| to 'Sconset. One trip was missed, as
the conductor, who does not like cats,
refused to carry the feline pet of de-
parting family. A novelty introduced
has been the entire abolition of the
steam whistle, partly because of its
waste of steam and partly because it

II Will Be MODIFIED
New Sidewalk Cleaning Ordin-
ance to Be Changed.
REPORTED BACK MONDAY
Judiciary Committee Considered it Last
Evening and Decided on Some
Amendments-How it Reads
as Introduced.

A new sidewalk cleaning ordinance
was introduced in the city council at
its meeting on Tuesday night. The pro-
visions of the ordinance differ in many
respects from those of the old ordi-
nance. Two sections of the new ordi-
nance are as follows:
1T shall be the duty of the owners or
occupants of any lot or part of lot
along which a sidewalk is laid to keep
such sidewalk clean and safe for pc
destrians and such owner or occupant
shall with all reasonable dispatch re-
move snow, ice, slush, mud or other
impediments to safe and convenient
travel, and prevent the continuance
and accumulation of the same. Every
person failing to comply with the pro-
visions of this section shall be deemed
to have committed nuisance and up
on conviction thereof shall be fined in
sum not less than $40 for each day such
nuisance is continued.
"Section Upon failure of any owner
or any occupant to keep the sidewalk
along their premises clean and clear
of snow. ice. slush, mud or other i'm
pediments to safe and convenient travel
it shall be the duty of the street COM
missioner to clean the same and re-
port to the city council the expense
thereof with view that the city coun-
Gil may levy the expense of such clean
ing against the lots adjoining such side
walks that the same may be collected
as are other taxes
The ordinance was read a first and
second time and referred to the judi
cjary committee. That committee met
last evening and decided to change the
ordinance to a considerable extent The
notifications will probably be the
striking out of the words ''or owners
and leave the responsibility for keeping
the walks free of snow and ice with
the occupants. as is now the case. The
ordinance will probablv also be changed
in other respects. The ordinance will
probably be reported back to the
council on Monday night

FAITH IN OLD H|GHL AND
Thomas Rutter Believes There Is
Plenty of Gold There.
HE DISCOVEREDTHE GULCH
Is Now Resident of North Yakima--Ar-
ticle in the Standard Brings Back
Old Memories of the Fa-
nous Camp.

Thomas Fl. Rutter of North Yakima
ing the discovery of the Highland district.
| 1t will be remembered that the Standard
| some time ago published a description of
| Highland guich Mr.. Rutter read this arti-
Gle with deep interest and writes the
| Standard as follows:
North Yakima, WASH, Jan. 8, 1881
| have read with deep interest your issue
| containing the description of a mining
camp called Highland The article is cor
rect in the main, but in some respects it
| is far from being correct. l have never
| given any description of Highland guch,
| because so many new Klondikes have
| opened since then that it would be useless
! to tell any one of the richness of old
| Highland. I will give you a little bit of
the history of that camp, however. The
| camp was discovered by Egg Coleman
and myself on the 18th day of July, 1856
| Crawford and another man were pros
| pecting a lead on the mountain when we
went to prospect the gulch. Coleman was
| sent to Butte to get whipsaw to saw
some lumber. While he was gone the rush
commenced. Many of those whose names
| you mention came in after L was elected
| recorder, which office I held for the four
years that / remained there.
Though old Highland is sleeping just
now the day will come when she will be
booming again. The gold there is, in my
opinion, the finest in Montana, over 800
fine / have sold the gold for $3.50 per
ounce in greenbacks. You are right when
you say the camp was a good one, and
the best in Montana at that time. You
did not mention Oscar Langworthy, who
was my partner for a long time in run
ming a flume to tap the rich ground. He
was from Dubuque, Ia. Nearly all of the
old timers are dead. and l was very glad
to hear of some who are left still in the
land of the living. Tom Burden, Sake
and Dan Parker were also conspicuous in
the old days. l am in the photograph
business here. but hope soon to see old
Highland again. If | ever do, | think l
can show the people that my faith in the
old camp is not misplaced and that there
is still plenty of the yellow stuff in the
deserted camp.
Joe Kepper of your city made five
rings for me out of the first nuggets
found in the gulch, and which We're found
by me in the discovery claim.
Mr. Rutter mentions the names of sew
eral others who We're prominent in those
DAYS in Highland. among them being
Billy Todd and j. c. Kirey, who ran a
store.

OLD THEORY
OF Fish Being Brain Food Is Exploded
by Physician.


by a Physician.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat. ,zs.. .- ...
"One of the most ludicrous of the old
time hygienic superstitions, " said New
Orleans doctor, lis the idea that fish are
brain food. 1t is the most widely spread
of all the popular fallacies, and must
have originated in the circumstance
that fish become phosphorescent in GER
tain stages of decay. The inference
probably was that they contained a
great deal of phosphorus, and, as that
element enters into the chemical COM
position of brain matter, it is not I'M
natural to conclude that fish were good
brain builders. The truth is that the
system gets its necessary phosphorus
from different sources altogether, and
a man might eat all the whales be-
tween here and Labrador without ad-
ding single grain to the weight of
his brain Still, l know of an old gen.
tleman in this city who has eaten fish
regularly four times week for over
half century, believing firmly that he
was greatly increasing his mental ca
pacity by the diet. Lots of parents
urge their children to eat fish for the
same reason. If the old theory was
correct the natives of the South Sea
Islands would be the smartest of folks
on earth, instead of the stupidest. An
other widely prevalent fallacy is that
beef tea is nutritious. 1t is now de-
monstrated fact that beef tea contains
no nutriment whatever, and steady
diet of it would result in immediate
starvation. 1t is very valuable as q
stimulant, however, and assists IN the
assimilation of actual foods. In the
great hospitals nowadays it is used fol
no other purpose.

FARMERS JUBILANT,
The Prospects This Year are That Their
Ia5ors Will Be Well Rewarded.


Wheat is being brought into the
elevators very slowly. This a good
indication that our farmers are in
pretty good circumstances. and are
not forced to sell their grain soon
as threshed, the majority having
built substantial granaries wherein
to store their products. While the
yield is not as large as was ex-
pected this year, the average will
be fully up to that of last year-12
to 15 bushels to the acre, some
spots touching the 26 bushels
mark. The grading is much better
than last year, and the majority
will go No. Northern at least.
Added to this is the fact that the
grain is comparatively free from
smut or other dirt, and dockage
this season at the elevators is the
lightest known for yeurs. This
is mainly due to the free use of
formaline at seeding time. and the
farmer gets decent reward for
his labor. For work in the fields
it has been excellent harvesting
weather, the days being pleasantly
warm and the evenings just re-
freshing enough to make sleep
natural and enjoyable. Up to
the 18th of September we have
been free from frost, the slight
one on that night being more of a
benefit than harmful.
It is rather early to obtain fair
average, owing to the farmers
being still hard at work. The
Walker farm, west Of the city,
yielded 16 bushels wheat, 8 Of flax;
Frank Pitchers "a! wheat; G. M
Fishers 26 bushels wheat; l..
Elliott's, l6 bushels fax.
