True Tales About Ohio
(Concluded from page 1)
residents along the route learned to
keep the shades down or block the
windows with Rattened old news
papers.
Before the incline came, horsecar
riders paid one fare to ride to Lock
Street, then climbed the countless
steps and rough paths to the top of
the bluff. With its coming they still
paid one fare to Lock Street, then
another to ascend the incline and a
third to Jolt through Eden Park to
Walnut Hills, the town’s then largest
suburb. Tt was good for the street
car company. So good that the Mt.
Adams utility alone was capitalized
at $200,000.
The principal promoter of the in
cline had a large interest in the
horsecar business. Incidentally, when
cable cars displaced the mules he
became a heavy stockholder in the
electric business.
Tt was the Mt. Adams incline that
“made” the whole northeastern sec
tion of Cincinnati—Walnut Hills,
Mount Auburn, Evanston, Norwood,
Kennedy Heights, Pleasant Pudge,
Oakley, Hyde Park, Obrienville to
Madisonville. Until its advent, trans
portation there was terrible.
The incline’s powerhouse is atop
Mt. Adams—a huge, brick station,
open at either end, whore are located
the engine and big drums which wind
and unwind the cable to lift or lower
the platforms. There in the halycon
days of the incline stood the great
“Highland House,” parts of whose
walls went into the Bockwood Pot
tery and the Sterling Glass factories
nearby.
Famous “Highland House.’*
The Highland House, established
in 1875, whose big building and great
beer garden were declared “the larg
est in the world,” was a year-round
resort and accommodated crowds of
from 6,000 to 8,000 persons on many
of its hot summer nights.
They rode the incline to the High
land House, then dined and wined
elegantly while listening to Theodore
Thomas’ orchestra or some other
famous musical organization. There
were gardens for the thirsty, bowl
ing alleys for the athletic and an
opera and concert pavilion for the
artistic.
Politicians began to use the place

for rallies and the sporting crowd
followed with walking contests
featuring “Dan O’Leary” and other
of his ilk. Roughhouse replaced the
sparkle and vivaciousness and finally
only those who loved a frequent fight
patronized the place. It was torn
down in 1895. And now the incline
itself seems likely to go.
Five Inclines
Each of Cincinnati’s five inclines
had its like rendezvous at the top.
The old Bellevue House at the top
of the incline leading from Elm
Street to the brow of the Bellevue
hill—now the Ohio Avenue hill, with
only some of the masonry remaining
the Main Street House at the top of
the incline from Main Street to
where God’s Bible School now is
located, on Mount Auburn the Mount
Auburn incline itself and lastly the
Price Hill incline, with the Price Hill
House—later dubbed “Buttermilk
Hill” because a local law in that
then separate municipality forbade
the sale of intoxicants.
There were accidents—aplenty. One
noonday more than a half-century
ago a cable on the old Main Street
incline broke and let both platforms
crash. One of them nearly all the
way from the top to the ground.
Several passengers were killed, in
cluding the superintendent of Cincin
nati schools and the wife of the
town’s most prominent furniture
dealer. Only a 14-year-old boy es
caped to tell the story and his tale
was vivid.
The superstructure and cables of
the Mt. Adams incline however, have
been constantly inspected, tested and
kept in repair. No accident has hap
pened there. Each platform has an
extra cable for safety.
All the other inclines have gone
the way of lost pine and pug dogs.
The Price Hill, a few years ago was
the last to go. It caught fire and
burned down. There was much ado
about rebuilding and operating it,
persons on the hill at its top needing
the transportation. One city council
man suggested that the City of
Cincinnati rebuild and operate the
lift—as an escalator, like those in
department stores. Nothing has been
done about the matter and residents
of the hill walk to the streetcar
stops.
The escalator suggestion was top
ped only by that of $25,000-a-year
City Manager C. O. Sherrill, a few
years ago, who suggested erection of
a giant electric fan on Price Hill to
blow the smoko' and smog out of the
basin business district of Cincinnati
and over the river into Kentucky.
However, Sherrill is gone, the fan
never came and the smokey smog
remains.
So the Mt. Adams incline is still.
Meantime streetear fares go up one
half cent every four months as per
franchise contract land one city
councilman told the press recently
the raises were expected to continue
all of 1949. Now 12 cents a oneway
trip, it is going to cost money to
ride the streetcars.
As to the last remaining incline,
the same councilman declared in a
council meeting a few weeks ago:
“If the street railway company
would quit spending the $.30,000 la
year they pay for a radio program
they could operate the incline with
out penalizing the passengers.” These
nights houses under the incline need
fear no peeking passengers: There
are none.

Being masonry, Bnkcrete is highly fire-resistant
and termite proof. Better able to withstand the
ravages of the elements.
COMFORT
Bnkcrete has self-contained insulation properties.
Warmer in winter, cooler in summer, than brick.
Water and moisture resistant.
STRENGTH
Many laboratory tests prove Brikcrete to be many
times as strong as normal conditions require.

Uses of Straw
Straw, our most important crop
residue, now is going into wider
industrial use. In recent years there
has been a particularly noticeable
expansion in use of processed
straw, mostly for making cigarette
papers, straw board and for pro
ducing high quality writing paper.
In other countries it is used to make
brick, thatching roofs, as a substi
tute for twine and for making mats,
bags and wearing apparel, for fuel
and for many other household uses.
When a Berry is a Berry
Almost everybody likes berries

raspberries, blackberries, logan

true berries, which nobody ever
thinks of calling by that name, are
grapes, bananas and tomatoes. But
cranberries and blueberries come
by their name honestly.
