CITY OFFERED
A PERCENTAGE
Atlanta Street Car Company Makes
Sensational Proposition.
INCLUDES OPTION TO PURCHASE.
Offer Was Totally Unexpected,
flay Result In flunicipal
Ownership.
An Atlanta dispatch says: The fol
lowing proposition from Joel Hurt,
to give Atlanta a percent
age of the earnings of the Atlanta
Railway and Power company and
places the city where it may become at
will the purchaser of the street rail
way system, was made to the electric
railway committee at a meeting Wed
nesday afternoon. The offer was the
crystallizing point of the day’s sensa
tions and threw into the background
every other feature of the long debat
ing and wrangling over the franchise
fight:
Ga., July 26, 1899.—T0
the Committee on Electric and Other
Railways of the City of Atlanta. Gen
tlemen: I herewith suggest the fol
lowing propositions to the city gov
ernment which, if acceptable, I will
recommend and endeavor to have
promptly accepted by the Atlanta
Railway and Power Company and the
Atlanta Railway Company.
The recent financing of these com
panies provides for a bonded stock is
sue of $2,000,000 and a bonded in
bebtedness of $5,000,000, of which
there is reserved for future extensions
and improvements $750,000. The
bonds in reserve will build a new
power and lighting station of suffi
cient capacity to light the city’s
streets and to supply power and lights
for domestic and manufacturing pur
poses. It is estimated that after
building a lighting station there will
be left in reserve a large amount of
bonds, which will be used for future
extensions of the lines. A proper
sinking fund 4s to bo provided for the
bond issue. The bonds will all bear
5 per cent, except $225,000 of the
bonds of the old Atlanta Street Rail
road company, which will bear 6 per
cent.
I propose that out of the annual
earnings, commencing January, 1900,
the dividends on the capital stock will
be the first year 4 per cent; for the
year 1901, 5 per cent and thereafter 6
per cent. All dividends above 6 per
cent will be divided one-fourth to the
stockholders and three-fourths to the
city for improving the streets and for
public schools.
The companies, acting with the city,
to lay out and build all extensions of
lines which may be needed, and in the
event of any disagreement, the same
to be determined by a commission to
be established by the state legislature.
I am moved to suggest this propo
sition by a consideration of the fact
that the franchises which have been
granted and have for years proven un
profitable to the owners of the street
railway companies, have now grown
to a value on account of the increased
population of the city, which merits a
consideration of the advisability of the
city’s securing, if possible, a fair in
terest in the future growth of the
property, and the further considera
tion that the owners of a large major
ity of the stock of the companies are
Atlanta citizens, who will be satisfied
with a reasonable return for their in
vestment, and who, it is believed,
would be willing to so adjust these
public utilities as to secure to the city
great benefits in the future, which
might otherwise be enjoyed by foreign
investors in the stocks of the com
panies, and which could not be re
claimed until the expiration of the
present franchises, running from forty
to fifty years.
It is believed further that by this
method the city of Atlanta can now
secure and hold in reserve the right to
own the properties which may in the
near future be deemed advisab'e. Re
spectfully, Joel Hurt.

OLD-TIME KLONDIKE DAYS.
Life of White Tiappere Before Gold
Woe Discovered.
One of the pioneer gold seekers, Dr.
Sweeney, was fortpnate in meeting
with Geo. W. Carmack, the discover
er of the Klondike, and from him he
gathered much interesting informa
tion concerning the habits of the In
dian tribes on the Yukon and the white
men who long before the discovery of
the treasure hidden beneath the froz
en moss and gravel of the Klondike
Valley lived with them and shared the
hardships of their dally life.
‘‘Some of the things that Carmack
told me.” said Dr. Sweeney, “were en
tirely new to me, and all very Interest
ing. One of the things I have always
been anxious to know was how the
white men lived who hunted and
trapped along I !the Yukon In the days
when It was thousands of miles to the
trading posts and civilization. Car- |
mack explained to me.
“ ‘We were compelled,’ he said, ‘to do
just as the Indians did. In the sum- |
mer time, besides game and fish, we
ate berries, for Alaska is the home of |
all sorts of berries. And besides these
we obtained other substitutes for tho j
vegetables of civilization. The princi- ■
pal of these were grass roots, certain
small bulbs or tubers, and the inside
bark of vaNous trees.
“Tn the winter we ate fish, meat,
and berries, which the squaws dried in
the summer, and stored away. Then
also tie little bulbs I have mentioned
came in very handily. I have forgot
ten now what they were called, but
they, as all old Alaska men know,
form the principal food of the timber
squirrels of that country during the
winter. It was by rifling the hoards of
these little animals that we obtained
onr supply of the bulbs in the winter.
Their hoards are always to be found in
a solitary spruce tree in a thicket of
stunted pines. That was the way in
which we located them. The reason
for this I never knew. As a substitute
for bread —of course, the Indians then
had no flour —we ate a species of pud
ding made of the blood of the game
we killed, boiled with dried berries
and sometimes with the little bulbs
from the squirrel hoards.’
‘I asked Carmack how the Indians
in those days obtained salt for their
meat Every one knows that to a
white man at least salt Is a necessity,
and not a mere flavoring matter. In
answer Carmack told me something
that was entirely new to me. He said
that the Indians made it a practice not
to throw away the water in which
they boiled their meat, but allowed it
to remain in the kettle. In course of
a short time, fe told me, the water or
broth would Peconic extremely salty
and could then be maintained at what
ever degree of saltiness deemed de
sirable by the addition of fresh water
to replace some of the salt broth
dipped out and thrown away.”
The Trained Narie’r Baby.
This has become an experimental age
for babies. The writer of this recently |
saw the ten-months-old baby of a doc
tor whose wife was a trained nurse.
The baby had never worn a thread of
flannel or shoes and stockings a min
ute in its life, and very seldom wore
anything on its head. It was very
sturdy-looking and had never known a
moment’s Illness. Its clothing on a
hot day consists of two pieces only,
and the women can tell what they are.
