thrives in the chilly atmosphere of autumn
and is not affected by the low temperature
as is yellow fever.
In addition to these facts it is gratifying
to note that during the past few years
great progress has been made both in the
methods of treating the disease and in the
process of Quarantining. Heretofore the
local medical and legal authorities showed
an indisposition first to acknowledge the
presence of the disease and then to work
harmonicusly with the authorities of other
cities and states to prevent its spread. 1t
remained for the Marine Hospital Service,
under intelligent direction, to work reform
in this important particular. This bureau
deserves great credit for teaching the les
son of the absolute need of cooperative
work among the sanitary officers of all
sections and it's efficient labors In times Of
emergency have usually been the cause of
a steady decline in the progress of the
epidemic.
As yet the bureau officers have not for
mally added their veriication to the dag
nosis that proclaims the now prevailing
disease to be yellow fever, but the fact that
this diagnosis is made by local medical
authorities indicates that there is little
doubt as to the real nature of the disease
In former years the local agents were I'M
duly conservative while the government
bureau was compelled to assume radical
position, both in diagnosis and in treat
ment. The situation seems now to be re-
versed, and this tends to greater security
From the late dispatches it is evident that
condition dangerously like panic pre-
walls among the residents of the threatened
section, and thousands are now seeking
safety In flight. But intelligently severe
restrictive measures are being taken, look
ing toward the establishment of an effect
I've quarantine as well as to the skillful
treatment of all patients. and on the whole
.hefe seems to be little reason for appre-
hension on the part of the public. There
mas been a marked decrease of late years
IN the number and virulence of these ONT
breaks and the present epidemic should be
readily confined within narrow limits and
speedily checked.

at the Minnetonka beach station was
discontinued with the closing Of the
hotel, otherwise with the discovery of
the fire, something might have been
done by the prompt arrival of appa-
ratus from the city. AS it was, a man
was sent to Spring Park on horse
back to inform the conductor and en-
gineer of the 10 o'clock train. The con-
ductor had gone to his home across
the bay and the engineer would not
act without orders. So a man was sent
across the bay for the orders. When
the engine did finally reach Wayzata,
it was nearly 1890.
The inf 0rmation concerning the fire
was received in Minneapolis at 1910,
when a telephone message from Ex-
celsior told the story that the hotel
was on fire. Word was Immediately
sent to the Great Northern offices in
Minneapolis and st. Paul. They had
not heard Ct the fire, and the telephone
information was their first warning.
Soon after that came the message from
WayZata, and the general Superintend-
ent at ST. Paul sent word to the super
intendent at Minneapolis to send an
engine out: Chief Stetson of the fire

Judge Gerhard Willrich, of the pro-

tribunal yesterday for the first time
since his return from Germany after
an absence of about eight weeks. The
judges health was greatly benefited
by the trip and all day long his friends
called on him to welcome him back.
To G b e reporter the judge talked
about his trip and about conditions
generally in Germany.
"a wave of prosperity and general
improvement is sweeping Germany"
said he. land my observation Of the
country leads me to the conclusion
that Europe never was in such good
shape financially and commercially as
it now u.s. 1 am saying this with Ger
many as the ground for the statement
The beet sugar industry is developing
rapidly in Germany, and with its cheap
labor from the eastern part of Prus-
STA and Poland this country can COM
nete with the world in the manufacture
OF beet sugar L will say, however,
that experts who understand the Gull
tiyation of the sugar beet told me that
there is no place in the world better
adapted to this industry than the Unit
ed States is J. would advise American
farmers to cut loose and raise sugar
beets.
..There appeared to be an air of pros
perity in all of the German cities and
towns I visited. Everywhere the peo-
ple are improving their property and

particularly while I was in Dresden
that the American idea of single homes
for the people has been inaugurated.
Instead of the immense tenament
houses which have always been the
svstem of architecture throughout Ger
many. and in fact nearly every other
European country, there is law Wnlch
ccmpels the construction OF villas IN
the residence sections OF cities anu
towns. The authorities find that the
American system not only beautlf1es

cities there is now plenty OF work Ior

bismarck founded in Germany, is

lowing the yellow fever epidemic in the
South drove many people North, and
the Lafayette was the center of attrac-
ton. The Southerners came in such
numbers that it was found that the
hotel would be inadequate to accom-
modate the crowds. Accordingly, the
building was enlarged to it's capacity
of the time of the fire. The mistake
was discovered soon after, for, with
the disappearance of the yellow jack,
the Southerners stopped coming, and
