open its doors for business next
Wednesday, July 25. Several
meetings between the bank ohio.
ials and the creditors during the

ment satisfactory to all concerned.
An examination of the banks

ample security covered all out
standing loans.
At meeting Of deposltors at
the bank building Tuesday after
noon, they signed an agreement
whereby they agreed to accept
certificates Of deposit to the
amount Of their credit, one-half
to be paid IN 3 months and the
remainder in six months. The

I'm less than thirty days Be-
midii,s telephone system will be
10 operation, !" Said Treasurer AL
Kaiser last Saturday. to which
statement the company : secretary
4J H. Haner gave confederation.
And the. people hope 50, for eyer
since the telephone franchise was
granted they have been feverishly
dreaming Of the hour when the
u oys can talk to their out-of-toWn
girls and the forgetful husband
can order before breakfast the
Ibeefsteak he should have brought
home the night before.
The poles have been ordered and
as soon as they arrive, work will
begin. As much as possible, the
lines will run in the alleys 50 that
the poles will not take up room in
the main thoroughfares.
In the matter ofprices, the COM
.pany will make Bemidji much low
er rates than most other towns are
paying. $3.50 for business houses
and $1.5o for private dwellings
per month will be the local rate,
which is 81 cheaper in each case
than in Crookston.

Food Prsssrvatives.

The committee appointed in England
to discuss the question of preservatives
and coloring matters in food has been
hearing evidence from many experts
on the various points raised. 1t was
stated by one that the use Of borax
or boracic acid for ham and bacon
was necessary on account of the de-
mand for a mild-cured article, and that
1t was a most effective preservative
and a sure remedy against fy-blow.
Seventy-five per cent Of the ham and
bacon sold In Britain was treated with
this chemical, and after the meat had
been cooked, most, If not all, the borax
disappeared. This last statement Is
one which surely could easily be put
to the test Of experiment.. and, should
it be found correct, the use Of borax
for meat could hardly be considered
Objectionable.

To Prevent Frauds In Liquids.

A variation OF the multitudinoui
non-refllable bottle patent is the idea
OF an inventor OF New York city. He
does NOT endeavor to produce bottle
which cannot be refilled, for it Is
pointed out that dealers are adverse to
handling such bottles, as it reflects on
their honesty, but to produce one
which places premium on honesty.
The scheme is to place in each bottle
a small porcelain ball, small enough
to come out of the neck of the bottle
and mark it with the trademark or
brand of the liquid the bottle is sup
posed to contain, the bottle being OF
course similarly labeled. These balls
are to be redeemed by the bother or
manufacturer for small cash pre-

Asbestos and Its Usea.

Asbestos is remarkable as an exam
pie OF substance, long regarded as
economically valueless, suddenly tax
Ing Its place among minerals of COM
mercial Importance, and rapidly COM
ing into use, until It's production ranks
as staple branch Of the industries OF
this country. Asbestos is flbrous
variety of the mineral actinolite, and
consists essentially Of oxide of iron,
alumina, magnesia, silica apd water,
and in appearance has silky, vitreous
luster, while its indestructibility by
fire forms the leading characteristic
on which Is based the commercial and
unitarian value of the substance I'M
der consideration The mineral Is wide
ly distributed,the two principal sources
of commercial Importance being Italy
and Canada; that derived from the
former country being the most valu-
able and being distinguished from
other varieties by its brownish tint.
The process in vogue for the manu-
facture Of raw asbestos into the vari-
Gus articles for which it is now en-
ployed may be briefly summarized. Ar
rived in bags Weighing from one to
two hundredweight, the Jumps Of crude
asbestos are put through an ingenious
crushing machine, whose rollers have
a parallel motion in addition to thei!
rolling action over each other. This
action etfectually opens out the fibers,
which are then boiled in large tanks.
The shorter flbers, having been ground
down and reduced to pulp, are con-
verted into asbestos millboard by ma
nipulation on gauZe netting, a process
familiar to all persons who have visit
ed paper mills and witnessed the man
ufacture of ordinary paper. Asbestos
millboard forms a valuable packing
for engines, while its non-conducting
properties render it serviceable on
electrical work A bare enumeration
of the many purposes to which asoes-
tos is now devoted would form for
midable list: Packing" for all classes
of machinery, ropes, fire escapes and
firemen's clothing. furnacemen's gloves
fire-proof putty. sheeting. boiler and
steam pipe covering, millboard for
every purpose, cloth for altering acids
and other similar uses; for covering
rollers in print works where aniline
dyes are employed, and it is necessary
to resis- heat and the action OF the
acids; for flooring and wallfelt, more
especially in timber-b built houses; as q
lubricant for every class of engine,
portable fre-proof safes, lamp shades
and variety Of other articles,in which
the fire and heat resisting properties
OF the substance under consideration
render il of especial value.
