POWER OF THE GAR
1t Will Soon Be Employed to Help
Run the Minneapolis Street
Cars.
Engines Built for the Russian Gov
eminent Secured by the Street
Railway Company.

Perhaps no better evidence could be
found Of the way the wheels of industry
are turning throughout the country to day
than the difficulty which the street rail-
way company experienced in securing the
two immense emergency engines which
nave just been installed in the Third ave-
nue. power house.
When it became apparent a year ago
that the Mississippi river could not be
depended upon to supply all the power
wanted all the time, Superintendent of
Construction Taylor was commissioned to
.scour the country in search of machinery
for an extra steam power plant From
coast to coast. north and south, he
searched in vain for several months for
finished articles for immediate installa
ton. He found a heavy demand for
everything the big engine factories could
turn out as fast as it was ready for use
AS the plants wanted in Minneapolis were
only for temporary use, it was not con-
sidefed advisable to contract for their
manufacture. Above all, delay was to be
avoided, the manufacturers in most cases
being away behind their orders.
At last in Salem, Ohio, and in Ell Paso,
Texas. the company was fortunate enough
to find what it was in search Of Quite
different fate awaited the Salem engine
than had originally been intended for it,
Instead Of contributing largely to the
power needed to help Minneapolitans
hOmeward, it was to have done duty in
far off Russia. The ponderous machinery
was rushed through to completion for
transportation to the czar's domain but
when 1T was ready for business, word
came from Russia, where the engine was
to be installed in rolling mill.
that there was no immediate demand for
it.
Delay shipment six months" was the
order from the cars private secretary
1t was at that psychological moment
that Mr.. Taylor had look in at the
! engine and he Immediately offered to buy
at fancy price AS there was yet time
for the company to manufacture another
engine for the car. the latter's repre-
sentatives had no objection to the sale
of the engine made to their order, and it
was soon on it's way to Minneapolis where
it arrived in August last, since when the
company has been busy putting it in place.
Mr.. Taylor finally found the other engine
out Of commission at Ell Paso. where it
had been intended for the municipal
lighting plant, but was found larger than
the requirements. 1t was promptly cop
pered.'
The drive wheel of the Salem engine
will be fitted with an eighty-inch belt
the largest in the world. manufactured ex-
pressly for that purpose by the w. S.
Mott company of Minneapolis. . '-
| The two engines will be depended upon
to supply sufficient power to operate all
rush hours between d and o'clock D. m.
power. .....
| The company secured 1000 extra power
| in st. Paul by utilizing the old Selby
cable plant -r''
The new engines will not be used for
more than two years.

in Minneapolis is the highest in the state,
and that this alarming rate will continue
until Minneapolis finds some other means
of obtaining a water supply was declared
yesterday afternoon at Elks hall, st. Paul,
by Former City Engineer T. w. Cappelen
of this city. addessing the first annual
meeting Of the state sanitary association.
Mr.. Cappelen said that thorough filtra ton
would go far towards improving Mime
apois water.
In disagreeable contrast to the admitted
inferiority of Minneapolis water th,c
product Of the municipal water works at
st. Paul was described by Engineer Rund-
lett, of that city, as, practically free from
all sewerage contamination" 1T is also
free from all manufa curing wastes, it has
no turbidity as the result Of rains, and
no peaty taste from Overf1owed sWamps.
"An Ideal Water Supply was consid :
cred in a paper prepared by George w.
Fuller of New York and read by George l..
Wilson of st. Paul. Filtration was recon-
mended for any water supply taken from
lakes or streams. This sanitary precau
ton was being generally adopted. There
were now 173 filtering plants in the United
States. Across the boundary Winnipeg
had provided a model filtration plant and
had demonstrated that: when carried out
upon a large scale, fltrat ton improvements
are not specially expensive.

B. Patten Of. Duluth. - - -. ~.
Another Anti. Typhoid Protest.
In the cougse of an address on Rural
Water Supply H.: aG.S Garel :of the state
university asked, why is it necessary
that we be continualM ssaeurged by ty
phoid fever? BY what fatuitY do we rest
our faith, so rblindy upon Water-suppty
site selected by a board Of aldermen?
The remedy suggested by Mr.. Carel was
that no private or public water supply, Tor
municipalities should be established or
changed without the consent. OF the state
board of health, and that the board should
be empowered to condemn any water sup
ply found to be unsanitary.
Several anti-vaccinationists presented
their views at the evening session of the
sanitary conference. After DR.. Burnside
Foster Of St. Paul had recited evidence of
the efficacy of vaccination, J. w. Griggs,
DR.. G. w. Young and Mrs. L. c. Little
made statements hostile to compulsory
vaccination.
The addition of bath rooms to every
public school and the enforcement Of com
pulsory bathing by the pupils was ad-
vocated- by Professor Frankforter OF the
state university. DR.. F. c. Todd Of Min
neapolis thought that public school teach
ers should be provided with testing ap-
paratus in order to discover promptly de-
fects in the sight or hearing of their
pupils DR.. A. J. Gillette Of st. Paul In
sisted that high desks in school rooms
were seldom the cause Of deformitles
Three fourths of all deformities among
children. he said, were the result of dis
ease, and, usually, Of tuberculosis.

COAL men Are BLUE
They Have Less Coal and Less Hope
Than Ever Before This
Season.
The Prospect for Next Month Is Ex-
tremely Disheartening for Deal
ers and Consumers.

Coal men of the city who all the fall
have been optimistic about the anthracite
situation In the northwest, to-day. sound
ed the first of pessimism. They admit
that the situation is verse than has been
painted in the press. and that January
bids fair to become in history Blue Jan:
uary.'' ~
One company in the city is receiving
perhaps 500 tons of coal a day. OF this 200
is anthracite. 1t comes from the dwind
ling stock At the head of the lakes. If
other companies We're doing as well there
would beano coal famine. One concern is
practically supplying the town and when
the coal received daily is divided among
all Corners it does not 60 far. The supply
at the head Of the lakes is growing less as
1t is divided between the four cities, the
two pairs of twins. No all rail coal is in
sight before Jan. i and when it does
come it will vanish with apparently no
effect on the scarcity. 1t is easily seen
why the coal men predict blue January.
The coal seekers make the. rounds Of
the several offices. 400 a day. in mild
weather and double that in cold weather,
asking the same question. = Reports of
few sales bring crowds around the next
day and so again and again they come
in with hopeful faces and go away sad.
Although the proportion of coal rushed
to the northwest before the close of navi-
cation was greater in proportion than
that allotted to the east. it is probable
the allrail allotment will be beautifully
less. Soft coal is not coming fast enough
either.
One manager said to-day that he could
use $4,000 tons Of coal in sixty days If it
could be had. =
Another bit of news will be unpalatable.
Coal will undoubtedly go as high as SO
ton. The agents say the price will be
based upon the all rail rate, but undoubt-
eddy the, figure will be as high as SO. They
admit, however. that this is crossing the
bridge before it is reached, as the first
question is will there be any .coal?''
