LEPER
STILL AT LARGE

PORT TOWNSEND, July 10
To the great disappointment of
the United States public health
authorities. the suspected leper
taken into custody at Index was
not Dominik Pittori, who escaped
from Diamond point, but sheep
herder named Jose Antonio ANA
to, native of Guatemala. AS a
result of a skin disease called
lupus his face was covered with
sores, presenting a more suspic-
ious appearance than Pittori.

This is the first chance I have had, since coming
to the islands to join the manhunt to tell the whole
story of this quaint affair. The San Juan group of
islands is out of the world and have had to depend
upon the island telephone system, relaying at Bell
ingham; and the kindest thing I can say of the
island telephone system is that it is the worst in
the world
bear with me if recapitulate events which al
ready known or guessed at. The man-hunt, say
is quaint and only thin thread of tragedy running
through the narrative saves it from being low
comedy.
To recapitulate: On July two men, unknown

From buttered bread and tea.

A well-known developer OF real es-

who wanted TO erect high buildings.
Substantial low structures built manv

What can be done to give Atlanta

Now that West Peachtree regrad.

ing that It would be as we'll to widen
the thoroughfare now, rather than be
faced with more intricate problems in
the hereafter. The widening OF
Peachtree is also wanted, before big
buildings are built flush with the
sidewalk, and widening will cost ten
times as much a few years hence.
A well-known realty dealer de-
clared the other day that he favored
a $2O,OOOOOO issue Of bonds, to be

said, would make Atlanta ship shape

This street question is a vexing

terial is called for in Western Heights
that is laid on Whitehall, the differ
ence being that Whitehall gets as
phalt and Western Heights nothing
but promises. Council intends to do
Its duty by the outlying districts, but
the day never comes. Then why not
make temporary improvements at
one tenth the cost rather than no Inn
provements at all?
"Cinders and gravel make a side
walk or a street paving that is fairly
good for ordinary purposes and that
will last ten years. Maybe at the end
of the decade there will be money
enough for asphalt or macadam, and
in the meantime the citizens have had
the advantage of improvements that
have enabled them TO keep out Of tho
mud. A man who can't afford to
build a mansion dosen't go out and
sleep In the trees. He builds a bunga-
low for 81. 900 and lives IN II ten years,
until he can have a more pretentious
house. The same principle should
work in city paving.

being worked should be fixed def

present scheme, a man builds his
house on high lot and far back from
the sidewalk His neighbor builds
on a low lot and jam-up Up to the

city would find that 1t had saved
hundreds of thousands Of dollars and

Newell is light, spareiy built fast
