MR.. DE LAITTRE PROTESTS
CALLS COUNCILS ATTENTION TO
DUMPING OF REFUSE ON MO
OLLET ISLAND. @a

John De Laittre has sent commune
cation to the city council, calling at
tention to the practice of dumping all
kinds Of rubbish over the bank Of Mic
ollet island between the stone arch
bridge and Great Northern railway
bridge.
Nearly al the stuff which has been
dumped thus far is debris from new
houses and buildings, and is not men
ace to health, but It is running the veg
citation along the banks, damaging the
trees and destroying their foliage, MAX
ing an unsightly rubbish dump out Of
what was heretofore a pretty green
bank and an attractive feature Of the
island.
In recent years the east channel Of
the river has been narrowed fully one
hundred feet by just this kind Of prac.
tices and haste some extent been filed
up. Should the work, be permitted to
continue the consequences may prove
serious, for the narrow channel will
not take all the water in case Of a
flood and freshet, and the river will
flood the banks, causing more or less
damage.

AMERICAN SCHOOLS BEST
PROFESSOR sHEPARDsoN FINDS
EUROPEAN TECHNICAL INSTI-
TUTIONs INFERIOR TO THOSE
IN THIS COUNTRY.

In the opinion Of Professor George D.
Shepardson, head Of the electrical engl-
neering department at the University
of Minnesota European technical schools
are inferior to American schools in ia
cilities for the study of electrical engi-
neering.
Professor Shepardson has just re-
turned from q European trip, in the
course of which he visited number Of
the leading technical institutions
Speaking Of his trip this morning, he
said: In my visits to the technical
schools in London ard on the continent
I confined my attention to the electrical
departments, and so far as the work in
electrical engineering is concerned, |
can say that consider that the Ameri-
can engineering schools offer better ia.
cilities to the students than do the
schools abroad. The courses differ, as
the technical schools in Europe offer
preparatory as well as advanced work
while in this country the preparation
must be obtained before the student en-
ters the colleges
| "Qne Of the interesting, features OF
my trip was ride on a 15,000-volt cleo
! trical engine at Zurich, Switzerland
! This is one Of the most powerful Ell.
gines in Europe and the highest type
Of the electrical passenger engine. Al
electricity is supplanting steam as &
motive power to some extent abroad

Two dollars were knocked off the

PRESIDENT NORTHROP
ON MICHIGAN IDEA

That the public is partially to blame for the
prominence OF athletics in American college life
is the opinion Of President Northrop Of Mime
sofa well as President Angel Of Michigan
In the Judgment of these college presidents,
much Of the criticism against college athletics
should be borne by the patrons Of college games
who are not connected with the colleges, but
who support and encourage college athletics.
When shown the annual report Of President
institution declared that the passion Of the public
for intercollegiate games stimulates the students
to play them, President Northrop Endorsed the
views of President Angel heartily. What he
says is true. = said the president OF the Mime
sofa institution, and as the Minneapolis public
turns out in support Of football contests in
greater numbers than do the Ann Arbor rooters
the statement OF President Angel has special
local force.

MAY RECOVER
EXPORT TRADE
MILLERs' EXPERT BELIEVES OF.
PORTUNITY AT HAND.
Herbert Bradley, just Returned from
Investigation Tour in Europe, Con-
rs siders Time Is Ripe For Minneap-
oils Movement, Especially Toward
England and Scandinavian Coun-
tries.

Herbert Bradley, traffic manager Of
the Millers' National Federation, who
has just completed tour of Europe,
with view to estimating flour export
possibilities, reached Minneapolis this
morning. Mr.. Bradley toured the
United Kingdom, France and Germany,
and made extended stops in the more
important centers, as London, Liver
pool and Hamburg, where closest In
vestigation was made into conditions.
Briefly summarized, it is Mr.. Bradley g
recovery Of America s lost export trade
in -four. Minneapolis Is in position to
enter the world 8 markets with her
product, and, with maintenance. Of
parity in price, between raw material
in American markets, and foreign flour
markets, big business will be done.
Germany Not Important.
Best opportunities, Mr.. Bradley says,
lie with the United Kingdom and the
Scandinavian countries. The new Ger
man tariff Mr.. Bradley regards as not
vitality important, as our German flour
trade is relatively small anyway, and
an increased import tax will mean no
heavy. loss. A large, quantity of Amer.
lean -four is shipped to Hamburg, but
this does not mean German business, it
being more often -four for Sweden,
burg for transhipment. The scandina-
Wan countries are very favorably dis
posed toward the American product and
will buy it in preference to any other
on comparative basis.
~y Doesn't Fear Canada.
Mr.. Bradley does not take the same
view Of the Importance Of the prospec-
tive Canadian wheat movement, enter
tanned by many Minneapolis grain
men, who see imminent danger in it.
The wheat is beginning to move freely
into Winnipeg and best commercial
opinion has been that English mer-
chants will naturally give preference
| to this. While there is fair basis for
belief that a large Canadian export
able surplus will cut an important fig
ure in competition with America, Mr..
Bradley's Investigations lead him to
| believe that it will be by no means so
serious as expected, SO far as Minneap.
! oils mills are concerned. . s1..".
| Last year the English buyers had
experience with -four from Canadian
wheat that was not 50 satisfactory as
comes from using high grade Mime
sofa -four, and this will secure the bust
ness to Minneapolis mills on anything
like fair comparison in prices.
There seems little likelihood that the
old trouble Of reduced export rates fol-
wheat, as against flour will arise this
year. The railroads have adopted c
more favorable attitude toward the
i milling industry .-..' ..-. = .@".
