from fifteen to twenty-five tams travel

town did an enormous business. The
proprietor of one store alone did bust

many months of each year.
Those good old days have passed. But
few Of the old settlers remain to tell OF
the bonanza era. The counterfeiters
have gene to a country where no spur

ton the mill wheels that once made
merry are stilled. The echoes of the
mellow notes of the stage coach horn
have died away in the silence of years.
The freighters no longer bring life and

SANITARY HOMES
PLAN PROPOSED
FOR WASHINGTON

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE 70 MOANING JouRHsLl
Washington, July Senator Jones
of Washington has Introduced in the
senate a bill which provides for the
construction in the District of Column
bia of sanitary dwellings to be leased
at moderate rentals to persons who
now dwell in the alleys, but who will
be compelled by law to give up their
present homes within a year after the
conclusion of peace. Senator Jones is
a member of the District of Columbia
committee. He has for years, taken a
keen interest in promoting the welfare
of the poor people of the national cap
ital
The Jones bill would finance the
building project by bond issue OF
$6,000,000, not more than $4,000, 00O
of which could be floated in any one
year. Thousands of people, chiefly col
ored, have for many years lived in
unsuitable buildings and shacks in the
alleys of Washington. and congress
has decided that these unfit homes
shall be abandoned in the interest OF
health and sanitation. The bill of Sem
ator Jones represents an effort to pro-
vide proper housing for the families
who will have TO leave the alleys and
who unless provided for in some hui
manitarian way will be left in a serious
situation.
