North Main is a sight. Before an
other year we trust that the L. & E.
will have erected its new depot and
that the Council will have made pro-
vision for oiling the north end of this
highway. There should also be a
sidewalk on the west side. Nothing
gives visitor SO unfavorable an i'm
preston of, a city as dusty and dirty
streets.
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1908-11-10

We are still far from the "city
beautiful" Many of our streets are
nncared for and some of the side
walks and most of the alleys are
blocked with things which have no
right to be on them. 1t is the duty
of the citv attorney and the police
to see that they are cleared. The
CITY Council made a move in the right
direction, when t instructed the CITY
attorney to bring suit, if necessary,
to clear the streets and alley ways.

TRANSPORTATION OF LIVE FISH.

Special Agent Captain Godfrey L Garden, of the
United States revenue cutter service. sends from
Berlin the following concerning the transportation
of live fish in Germany:
TRANSFORMATION of live fish for market purposes
is now an established fact in Germany. Under the
Erlwein system which is now being operated on the
Prussian state railways, the fish are being hauled
over considerable distances. l am advised that
shipments are being made to Berlin from Lyon, IN
France, and from far south as Rurnan1a- Briefly
the new system permits of a proportion or TWO tons
Of fish TO one of water, and, in instances, as
many as four tons of fish have been transported
alive in and one-half tons of water This
means that the fish have been packed in almost
forced through the fish tank by means of a circu-
lating pump and the carbonic acid as eXhaled IN
breathing is absorbed by lime plates Dr. firlwein,
who is responsible for the development of the pres
ent system, of the principal engineers for the
Sfenens- -Halske electrical establishment OF Berlin
The company operating the fish cars is known as
the Wilhelm Kaumann nachfolger OF Berlin 80
far only fresh water fish being transported, but
understand that il is the intention to take up the
transportation alive of salt water fish Before this
latter result be effected ii will be necessary to
equip many of the seagong fishery vessels with
wells or tanks such seen in many OF the
Boston fishing vessels :.
German law does not permit Of fresh water fish
TO see in restaurants tanks of fresh water fish
exhibition in the windows. The law is aimed
against the dangers or fish poisoning. 1t is the
opjnion here that fresh fish could be transported
readily from New York to any one of the large
cities in the Mississippi Valley and. In turn, the
fsh Of the great lakes could be transported alive
all over the West.

OF the cottage rentals this season Even during
the last week there have been several announce
ments that have brought joy to those who make
their permanent summer home in Newport.
Mr. and Mrs Patten formerly Miss Thayer) are
TO make their summer home here this season, and
have taken the Swift cottage. Colonel E V. Nor
rell who for several seasons has spent the summer
at Bar Harbor, is there again this year. but last
week it was said in Newport that he was cast
ing his eyes about Newport to get cottage for
the late season. Mrs. Charles H. Baldwin, who
went abroad in the spring and who was not ex-
pected back this season, will return for the late
season. and will again occupy Snug Harbor, 1t is
said.
Mr. and Mrs James Brown, who last season
were Newport visitors again 10 return. They
have taken Oakview. the estate belonging to Will
lam H Osgood in Narragansett avenue Mrs.
BENJAMIN T. Clyde, of Bryn Mawr, who was an
other newcomer IN Newport last year, is again
here occupying the De Rham cottage, which she
had last summer. There still another rental
last week. the leasing of Mrs. H B. Duryea's cot
tage, Edgehin, to Mr. and Mrs. Richard stevens
of Bernardsville N j.. who occupied the same cot
taee last summer. Eugene Reynal has also taken
q Newport cottage.

are having log cabin built on their estate The
cabin is being brought to Newport in sections,
ready for erection.

ing the week, and it is doubtful if Newport sees
any more of him for another year. Mr. Van Allen,
who was royalty entertained while here, has gone
back to Canada for fishing, and he will later
most likely go to England, where he intends TO
open Rushton Hail.
There is a chance that coaching will be taken
