MILWAUKEE MEN ARRIVE =.
They Go at Once to Chamber of Com
MERGE and Get Laugh.

The delegation from Milwaukee to
the Grain Dealers convention was the
first to appear this morning. They
came in on the Pioneer limited. About
twenty-five members of the delegation
went direct to the Chamber of Com
MERGE and were on the. floor of the
trading room before the opening.
Those from Milwaukee who registered
early in the visitors book in the sec
retary's office of the chamber were:
c. c.. Rogers, w. M. Bell, B. G. ELS
worth, A. K. Taylor, John Foley, Jr,
Charles R. Lul1, G. B. Pierce, P. c. Kamn,
G. w. Leland o. K. sikert M. S. Lowry.

Krause, George NJ. Chaplin, J. w. Bass,
w. NJ Anderson, f. D. Hinkley W. A.
Townsend, H. M. Stratton, j. Karger, w
H. Dodsworth, Frank Cole, r. b. Watrous,
John Larkin.
The. first sight that greeted the Wis
itors was rather inclined to take the
edge off the favorable impression
made by the large trading-room, and
much unfavorable comment and no
little laughter was heard over the tai
How candles used to light the room.
It is now almost a year since the new
chamber was opened and no provision
has been made for lighting the trad
ing-room of the moking-room on dark
days.
In the eleventh hour some wires
were hastily strung across the room,
but no electric light bulbs have yet
been attached. Local traders have
been SO used to having to resort to
candles on dark days that the in
congruity of the candles in the mark
ers box and the long rows Of candles
In the telegraph booths was lost upon
them, but the visitors thought it high

WOULD CLOSE THE WELLS
University Chemist Finds Indica-
tions of Pollution of Springs ).
in Loring Park.

. Instead of controverting the find
ings of City Bacteriologist J. Frank
Corbett and City Chemist A. D. Needs
regarding. the dangerous condition of
the upper well in Loring park, H. G.
Carel Of the university laboratory of
medical chemistry, sustains them.
In his report to the park board, Pro-
fessor Carel says: II find in both
specimens (referring to the two Lor-
ing park Wells) a large quantity Of
chlorides. This evidences a pollution
Of the water either past or present.
There is, however, a possibility that
the pollution may be local and inter-
nittent. I should therefore advise
temporarily closing the wells and hav-
ing a series of analyses made to de-
termine these points"
On Sept. 23 DR.. Corbett found 9OS
colonies of bacteria in one cubic cent?
meter of water from the upper wall,
near the statue of Ole Bull and on
Sept. rs he found $50 colonies. He
says that. all authorities agree that
water containing more than 500 bac-
terra questionable and suspicious and
becomes more SO the nearer the num-
Der approaches 1000.
Mr.. Needs in the chemical analysis
found chlorides four or five times in
excess Of what a safe water should
contain, and detected the presence of
nitrites, which further indicates sew
age contamination.
Neither DR.. Corbett nor Mr.. Needs
has ever declared that the water in
question is excessively bad nor that
serious results would necessarily fol-
low it's use. In an artesian we'll for
instance, the amount Of chlorine noted
would not be regarded with suspicion,
for neither the chlorine nor the MI
trites are in themselves DANGEROUS
but taking into consideration the To-
cation of the WELL the nature Of the
soil and other conditions, everything
points to a contamination which may
some time be the source of an cpl
demic. Under the present conditions
it is not worth while to take any
chances and it was on this account
that Health Commissioner p. M. Hal
condemned the we'll.

! INSPECTORS MEET TONIGHT
Question of Uniform Inspections t
Come Up at Convention.

The Chief Grain Inspectors Ma
tional association will hold it's fourth
annual convention in Minneapolis CO.
incidentally with the Grain Dealers
National association. More than
twenty chief inspectors will attend,
representing all the grain centers Of
the country east of the Rocky noun
tains except Boston and, perhaps,
Louisville and Cleveland
The first session of the inspectors
convention; will be held this evening
at the new Chamber of Commerce.
No outline of the proceedings will be
announced in advance. Some at least
of. the sessions will be executive.
The most interesting subject to be
debated by the inspectors is whether
they shall recommend system Of ma
tional grain inspection or suggest some
other method of securing uniformity
in grades. The votes in favor Of ma
tional grain inspection will probably
be fewer than at the last convention,
where resolutions approving such in
spectlon came. near being passed.

were no changes in mileage. There
was an increase in the passenger earn

N'Frelght earnings were seriously
decreased by poor crops in Iowa, re-

decrease because of the loss Of the
Rock Island connection at Albert Lea.

1.-THE work of revising the grade
and alignment of the road between
Hopkins and Chaska, Mimi, begun in
the spring Of 1902, has been continued
and should be completed by Nov. 1.
1t will result in economy in the oper-
alton Of the portion of the road over
which traffic is more dense than any
other. There was expended for addi-
tons and. improvements Of a perma-
nent character and charged to capital
account, the following sums: Recon-

Improvements Under Way. y
Improvements are in progress at
Albert Lea in yard revision and the
construction of a commodio con-
crete roundhouse to cost $75,0 900. The
company is also building a new
freight house and some additional
yards at Fort Dodge, Iowa, at an ex-
pense Of about $4,000. The. general
physical condition of the road has
been greatly improved, and will be
further benefited by work now in
hand. The extent Of business for the
next fiscal year cannot be accurately
predicted. The crop conditions in
Minnesota and South Dakota are good
and business in these two states
should probably exceed that of the
year just closed. In Iowa the con
tinued rains have injured the small
grains and retarded the. growth OF
corn so much Gthat. it is likely a por-
ton ofsthat crop will suffer from early
frosts: It is expected that the worlds
fair business to ST. Louis in 1904 will
be considerable advantage in the
way of passenger revenue: u
