TENANTLESS TOWNS. CHANGES WROUGHT BY THE RAIL' ROAD’S ADVENT. nri*ta«Ceatcn of Tnwle Ttet Uct 1MacM Wbra this Locopwtlw A|tpcanA Mamma.

"The spectacle they afforded was none the less dismal because they had been abandoned only recently. Through southwest Kansas and eastern Colorado are scattered hundreds of teuantleas sites of what were prosperous and busy com in unities two or three yeani ago. : “For example, I might mention Lake City, Kan. On the latest rat]*, dated 180$, it appears as a town* of <xmsiderible size. When I got there, I could find only one house. The rest of ti e settlement bad disappeared. I managed todiaDover a squatter, to whom I addressed an inquiry on the subject Said I: “ 'What has become of Lake City?* " ‘Moved, * he replied simply. "It was the same story I had beard

before with relation to ctutr settlements. The town had not! gone out of existence. It had changed its location* that wai alL Its history merely repeatad that of many other communities— hundreds of them might be named— which were moved literally on wheels Into the Cherokee strip when that fertile section was thrown open by the government At the present time yon will find prosperous towns in the strip lighted by eleotricity and furnished with all modern improvements, which are composed largely of the very same houses that made np the deserted villages I speak of. ‘‘As for deserted towns, you will find them all over southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas. Most of them have been made what they are by railways. It is usnally the interest of a railroad to avoid a town and pass some miles away rfrom it, building up a new town of its own and selling the land at profitable prices. A notable example is afforded by Enid, O. T. The Rock Island road passed through Enid, which was the lawfully chosen county seat, hut it would not stop its trains there, because it had established a town of its own three miles away, which it desired to build up. Exasperated by this attempt to ruin their property interests, the people of Enid resorted to desperate measures. They compelled the trains to stop hy force of arms and even threatened dynamite. Finally the railway gave in, and the town was saved. It wan a fight purely and simply for survival. “All over the southwest there has been a continual struggle of this sort between the old towns which preceded the railways and the new railway towns. In nearly every instanoe the old town has succumbed. I remember well when Comanche, Tex., was a nourishing community. An act of legislature prescribed that three railways should pass directly through it Everybody supposed that the place was going to be a small metropolis. People invested a great deal of money there. But the railways entertained different ideas. Thoy desired to build np towns of their own, aud by a complicate! hocus poctis they managed things so that the intersecting roads formed a triangle, of which Comanche was tho center. The triangle was so large that Comanche was not within less than 20 miles of the nearest railroad. So the town was ruined, and ever so many enterprising people, who had given money and energy to the building up of the country, lost all they bad. ' “A conspicuous example of a deserted town is Boston, Tex., at one time the most prosperous place in its region. It was situated directly on the old Sling’s highway, as it was called, which was the main line of travel by immigrants

across country. At present, as you may see by a look at the map,, two railways pass within three miles of Boston, but none goes nearer. Another case in Texas is that of the town of Washington. It is notioeable that tho oljjjl towns are well and solidly built, as a rule, whereas the new ones constructed under railway auspices are apt to be flimsy and of the ‘pasteboard* pattern. In the typical deserted village you are likely to discover a single building standing—-the more or less ancient and always solidly constructed courthouse. “You need not go to the west, however, to seek for deserted towns. Such extinct communities may be found throughout Virginia, the Carolinas, Georgia and Louisiana. In New England you will come across many abandoned towns which were built on the hills by the early settlers for the purpose of avoiding malaria and other disadvantages of the lowlands. But the railways came along in a later day and ohose the more convenient valley routes, building up communities in fresh locations on the low levels. '* For CHI seas to Answer.

SANITARY CLEANLINESS. In m letter to the St Louie GlobeDemocrat W. M. Ch&uvenet speaks of the history of garbage disposal ae fol - lows: I There is no more important question than that of garbage disposal confronting the world today. It ie not only important now. but always baa been and ever will be; bence strong and aggressive measures should be adopted to compel the employment of every modem and scientific safeguard known. Sanitary cleanliness must begin with this question, sinoe every household ia a producer, more or leas, of garbage, which, if not apeedily and promptly removed, will tend to produce and aggravate disease and thereby endanger the health of such community. The subject ia one which cannot be oast aside with - out serious contemplation. A condition exists, mid it must be fairly considered and met, and it should be more clearly understood by every proper minded and public spirited ci risen.

The history of garbage disposal m large cities is closely connected with periods of pestilenoe and ravaging fevers from poisoned atmosphere. In Europe in the middle ages refuse was dumped in the street or on the premises, and no provisions of a sanitary nature were considered. The plagues which followed in the wake of such unwise action depopulated whole districts, and the garbage question remained unsolved. The idea of casting all refuse into the river and pure water streams would have seemed to these people more barbarous and was never entertained if thought of. In modern times Berlin, with its narrow, crowded streets and still more narrow alleys, tried the garbage farm method. Trenches were dug and the green garbage buried in the ground to ferment for many days while it polluted the atmosphere. It was then ascertained through that school of experience that the large per cent of grease in city garbage made it utterly unfit for the purpose of fertilising, and that it ruined the land for production rather than benefited it The sewage farm is little if any better, for the gradual accumulation of insoluble animal matter soon renders the soil unproductive. For a long time London dumped her garbage in the Thames until ships were frequently stranded in the garbage reefs at the month of the river, and loud and long were the complaints of seafaring men, who were compelled to pass at low tide this large mass of decomposing substance. Next they resorted to baling the garbage by first pressing out the water and thep sending it to the sea to be dumped into the great ocean. This was soon followed by complaints from along the Scottish coasts, where reefs of disfiguring and putrefying garbage wore driven ashore, a menace to the dwellers along the ooast London, with all her experiments and experience, has by no means solved the garbage question and is still floundering about from one resource to another, each equally objectionable. Recently attempts at oxidation were made, but are as yet problematical and experimental _ WASTE PAPER BOXES. ‘- A. Brooklyn Idea That Might Prottably Bo Copied Elsewhere. Several mouths ago the Brooklyn department of city works, at the instigation of the Women’s Health Protective association, had a number of boxes plaoed in the streets for the reception of waste papers and other rubbish of like nature. The boxes were made of wood and painted green. About 125 were made, and they were pnt at points where it was believed they would be most useful

Those boxes have proved so useful that it has been thought wise to go to ! the expense of providing 100 hew ones, made of galvanized iron, instead of wood. The wooden boxes, however, are not to be split up into kindling wood. They are to be plaoed on private streets, while the metal boxes are to be used on the more traveled thoroughfares. The latter are strongly made and ought to last a good while. They are oval in shape, with a hood half covering the top. In dimensions the new receptacles are about the same as the old ones. They ! are painted green and bear the name of the department on both front and bock and the words, “For Waste Paper,” on [ the hood. t The city works commissioner is much pleased with the result of the effort: to educate the people of Brooklyn in habits of cleanliness. The process must neces- ! sarily be a slow one, but the quantity of paper thrown into these receptacles shows that the people are realizing to a considerable extent the desirability of not littering the streets. Brooklyn borrowed the idea of waste paper boxes from Boston, and its example has not been without good results, for an inquiry recently reached the city works department from New Orleans, where I something of the same sort is contom- | plated. One or two other places have also asked for information regarding the system adopted in Brooklyn. The idea of waste paper boxes is one that can be profitably adopted by any city or town which desires to keep the streets free from the litter of paper, and a few in our afreets would do ranch toward keeping the thoroughfares in that neat condition whioh marks a well i kept town.__ ▲ City Well Governed. Allentown, Pa., claims to be tbe best governed city in the oonnfry, and we are not able to prove to the contrary. Allentown*8 population is 39,000, and her appropriations for 1895 foot np only #95,956, although the finance committee of the city council raked for $13?,436. The total expenditures of the city for the prat year have amounted to $90,i 487. And Allentown has good streets and sidewalks, excellent schools and is ! well lighted and policed. It may be doubted if any city in the country can tngke a hotter showing than this,-*>N«W York Mercury.
