we found cows that to all appearances,
as far as a physical examination could de-
termine, were perfectly healthy to he u
vertible pest houses of infection. The time
between tests of the same animal should
probably not be less than six months AID
the results of test should not be accepted
unless it is known that the animals have
not been injected with tuberculn for IT
least six months time.
'COnclusions and recommendations:
/. while there is probably less disease
in Colorado than among cattle from huml
states, the disease is present in our herds
and should receive attention.

owners of family COWS should get rid Il

3. The tuberculin test is the only relia-
BILE way of finding out whether cows are
free from tuberculosis.
A. People should secure sanitary milk
and disease-free butter, especially where
children consume them. MIX or cream
not from tested COWS should be boiled be-
fore using.
s. In the state of our present knowledge
of tuberculosis we can afford to take ~
chances by harborins infected animal

and of the loss among our stock.

The only known way of proving cow
healthy is by using the tuberculin test
The regulations of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture require that al
cattle over 6 months old imported into the
United States after March l. 1900 shall be
tested with tuberculn.
With importationS from Canada "A cer-
tiiicate for cattle over months old for
breeding purposes and for mich cows
must also show that they have been SUBJ
mitted to the tubercuin test and found rec

cription of the cattle with age and mark
ings.'
Dr. d. T.. Salmon, chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, says: Common hon
eSty should lead those who sell breeding
stock To our farmers to take reasonable
precautions to insure the healthfulness Of
the stock which they deliver; but what
should be said of the persons who knowing

communicable disease like tuberculosis

The suggestion that the Vanderbilts may

Rutland Is not unnatural under the circum-
stances, If one is inclined to view the stu-
ltion from purely political standpoint;
but while railroads are sometimes factors
N a political situation capitalists do not
pften buy up roads as a political move.
Railroading in Vermont as well as else
where, is purely a matter of business, and
1t is from this point OF view that ques-
ton of this character must be considered
AS matter of fact the Vanderbilts have
insisted that they did not want the Cen
trail Vermont, and it is fair to assume that
II they had desired it, they would have
attempted to secure it when the road was
sold under the order of the court.
Those acquainted with the railroad stu
alton in this State, however, know there Is
not tho slightest danger that tho Grand
Trunk will sell the control Of the Central
Vermont to the Vanderbilts, or any one
else. The Grand Trunk had for many
years desired to secure possession of the
Central Vermont previous to the appoint
ment OF the last receivership, and as a
matter Of fact 1t had then held for some
time controlling interest in its stock,
out did not profit therefrom owing to the
measure passed by the State Legislature
preventing outside owners Of stock from
voting in stockholders meetings. The
manner In which this limited control SUBJ
sequently worked to the benefit Of the
Grand Trunk is now fully known.
Having striven for SO many years ia
gain an outlet to tide water through Yer

Grand Trunk will be easily persuaded 10

Mr.. T. H. Gignilliat, principal of the
Barnard Street School, who has just

I'VE like clean concrete halls, broad
stairways, and fast elevators in our
office buildings as we'll as people in
other cities do. Those who put them
here will find them paying invest
ments.
'The money spent in undermining

The Citizens Bank building Is full of

more such buildings to supply the
demand for clean, bright and attrac-
tive offices. Elevators, clean, airy halls
and bright. attractive rooms are the
things that count.
"a building should also be we'll kept
and not allowed to get dirty and din

the outside will not make up for de-

those deficiencies take the shape of

People are not going to stay in such
offices and let attractive, modern Of

Plea for the Apartment Home.
"In the matter of unimproved real

been taken. There are street railways
pretty much everywhere, and the SUI

prince to Open Coliseum With Six DAYS Cycle
Race Sept 8.

The Savannah bicycle coliseum will
be opened with six days race. be-
ginning Sept. 8. This is the informa-
ton that Jack Prince yesterday gave
to friend in this city. Prince stated
further that he will be in Savannah
wednesday 1t is thought probable
that he will bring some of his string
of racers with him.
The six days race ought to be a
good starter, that is if a starter is
needed, for though Savannahians had
no opportunity of seeing the sport I'M
III the coliseum was opened last spring,
yet they took to it with avidity, and
the attendance increased from night
TO night during the entire time that
the races We're run.
Before Prince left this city he prom
ised to return with a string of racers
which would include the best in the
country. He made good in the spring
with men like Leander and Bobby
Walthour, SO there is reason to be-
lieve that he will stick to his word this
time also, and have some motor fol-
lowers who will break a few more re-
cords. This ought to be the easier to
DO as the local track is a fast one one
of the fastest he has ever built, Prince
says and the men are probably in jam
up shape, as the result of a summer s
riding on the big eastern tracks.

BROKE WORLDS RECORD.
On Motor Cycle Hansen Rode 6342.
Miles in Day and Night.

Miles in Day and Night.
Chicago, Aug. 30.-A. A Hansen, of
Minneapolis, to-day completed a ride
on motor bicycle which resulted in
the creation of a worlds record for
mechanically propelled bicycles. The
ride was made on the Garfield park
track, and was finished at 2:04 .. M,
when the checkers reports showed that
the cyclist had gone 634% miles in the
journey twice around the clock.
Starting at 2:04 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, Hansen kept at his task,
stopping only at the end of each 100
miles to fill the gasoline tank and to
eat bit. He came through without
accident, although during the night he
had adventurous ride.
At IL p. m, the electric lights which
encircled the edge of the track, were
turned off and from that time until
daylight Hansen was fore
ed to ride in the dark Travelling
at thirty miles an hour under such
circumstances made it a risk Hansen
did not care to take, and he was forced
to slacken his pace, thus losing, it is
figured, something like a total of 100
miles.
This record ride of Hansen's is the
first of its kind in the world. AL
ready he holds the 1,000-mile motor
cycle road record. His machine was
equipped with two-horse power. The
worlds record for bicycle propelled by
human power is 624 miles in twenty
four hours, and is held by A. E. Wal
ters of England.
