DIR. HALL STANDS
FOR PURE W ATER
WANTS TO SEE THE MOVEMENT
PUSHED WITH VIGOR.
Says He Has Urged Reservoir Water
AS the Best Possible Temporary
Expedient-A Permanent Solution
of Pure-Water Problem Is Now
Demanded.

An impression that Health Com
missioner Hall does not deem it neces-
sary to spend any money for the i'm
provement of the city water obtains
in some quarters. This impression is
mistaken one, for there is no more
ardent or persistent advocate of a
pure water supply for Minneapolis
than DIR. Hall. Not being an engineer,
he is not committed to any system Of
filtration nor to any one source Of
supply, but states that he will accept
upon, and will support it with all his
influence.
AS commissioner Of health, it has
been his duty to fight conditions as
they have existed the past few months,
and along this line he has been urgent
| fcials that the two lower pumping
stations be permanently abandoned in
| the interests Of public health. He has
already condemned about 200 private
wells and has maintained that the
| water from the reservoir is safer than
the water from polluted wells. 1t Is
doubtless his advocacy of reservoir
water as a temporary expedlent that
has led some to think DR.. Hall is sat
isfied with reservoir water.
| On the contrary, DR.. Hall has re-
| peatedly stated that it is uncertain
how long reservoir water could be
relied upon to be safe. AS the cities
above Minneapolis grow larger anc
the country more thickly settled, the
danger will increase.
i Minneapolis should lose no time
in solving the water question, de
clared DR.. Hall this morning. "Wheth'
err we shall look to Mill Laos, Lake
Superior, the rapids above Elk River
or the present source for our water
is question which the experts mus
determine. If the present source Il
decided to be the most advantageous
: we must have some method OF purl
fication at the reservoir. Sedimenta
ton will not suffice for any Length
of time. Ozonizing water Is success
fully accomplished by some cities, ant
if the method is practicable here, l
will have the Endorsement of the med
ical world, for ozone is a most eftec
!, tive germicide. Some cities use sane
, filters with success and others US
mechanical filters. I am not sum
. GENTLY qualified to recommend elthe
method, but am anxious that tn
movement for pure water be contlnu

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, April 12.-The immigrant
traffic pool of the western railroads
is disrupted. It's members are meet
ing here to-day to discuss the formal
notice of the Union Pacific that it has
employed Peter Mcdonnell, the indie
pendent immigrant agent of New
York, as agent. It was to drive Nc
Donnell and other immigrant agents
out of business that the western rail-
roads formed the pool. Il;
For many years the Union. Pacific
road refused to- join. A rule of the
pool. supposed tos:bea obsolete, is that
"any railroa d may employ outside
agents in order to If1eet the competi-
ton Of the Grand Trunk and Cana
dian Pacific railroads." This rule is
cited by the Union Pacific as its rea-
son for now employing Mcdonnell.
1t is expected that the Northwest
ern and Milwaukee roads, the strong
est allies of the Union Pacific, will
join in retaining Peter Mcdonnell as
agent. Such action will make the
pool worthless. The Rock Island re-
| joined the pool only a few months
| ago, having employed Mcdonnell for
several years because dissatisfied with
! the workings Of the pool.

Chicago, April 12.-One Of the best
evidences that the present season of
navigation will not only be late, but
will be extremely dull as well, is
found in the uncustomary inactivity
among the railroad line steamship
companies at this season Of the year.
Some boats have not even made the
first attempt to get ready for business.
Line managers believe that May will
be an early start and there is not
much use getting ready before the last
of April. w. H. Johnson, western
manager of the Anchor line, says:
There never was season In my recol-
lection when the business outlook was SO
absolutely devoid Of encouraging features
as it is at present. The grain and flour
business holds forth nothing OF
promise. The prospects are for a
heavy movement OF the latter
westbound, but nobody is counting on
anything big. In the east business is be-
ing done along the most conservative
lines. Labor is the main question so far
as the lakes are concerned and until these
matters are satisfa ctorily adjusted nobody
will make a move"

) EASTERN RATE WAR
Presidents Are Going to Tackle the
r-s~-f Problem Now

New York, April IA meeting of
railroad presidents will be held with
in a few days to bring to an end, if
possible, the grain rate war between
eastern trunk lines. This war has
done little damage, as the roads have
been carrying only nominal amount
Of grain, but now that lake navigation
is open, large amounts will begin to to
move, and the roads will lose a great
deal Of money unless an agreement IS
reached.
1t is said 5o,o0o,oo0 tons Of grain
is waiting to be shipped from the west
to the Atlantic seaboard. The great
er part Of this grain will come to
Buffalo, and will be shipped to Phila-
delphia or New York by the trunk
lines. The more wheat the COM
panies carry, therefore, the greater
will be their loss.
