CITY COULD TEST FUEL
DIR. p. M. HALL. HEALTH COMMITS
4 sIoNER, APPROVES PLAN OF
PAYING FOR COAL ny HEAT
UNITS.

8 Minneapolis is surely coming to ths
point when the cost of fuel will be de-
termined by the number Of heat units
produced instead OF by weight as at
present. said DR.. P. M. Hail, com
missioner. of health in discussing the
plan proposed to the board of educa
tion by Chicago concern for testing
the heat-producing qualities of fuel at
"a fixed compensation of $40 per month.
"This city at the present time has
the facilities for making these tests.
and there is no occasion for paying
large sums Of money for them. If the
school board, the municipal building
commission, tho waterworks depart
ment and other departments which use
large quantities OF fuel are called upon
to pay $40 per month for this work,
the annual outlay will be considerable.
This department has made number of
take care of the city S work without
much additional outlay.
"The reports from these tests are
highly interesting. For instance, tests
of two samples of high grade coal re
failing at about the same price reveal
that one is fully so per cent better in
it's heat-producing qualities than the
other. It ought to, sell at q correspond:

Smoke Inspector j. w. Allen, who
is recognized as an authority on fuel
! maintains that the only proper method
| Of fixing the price on coal is by scien
tifc tests to determine their heat-pro

UNIFORM INSURANCE
LAWS TO Be TALKED

The insurance commissioners of the
five western states that are conducting
the examination of the New York Life
will meet next week in New York city,
and at this meeting Insurance Commits
sioner O'Brien of Minnesota will pre-.
sent his plan for a general gathering OF
all state commissioners, for the Pur-
pose of agreeing on a common course
of action. The proposition for uniform
state insurance laws will also be dis,
cussed. Mr.. O 'Brien leaves for the east
Sunday night. He says:
."The lack Of uniformity in the laws
of the states, not only on matters of in
surance. but on all other matters, has
been the thing that has been agitating
bars and bar associations, courts and
executive departments for many years.
It looks as if the opportunity for get
ting some uniformity has now arrived.

NOVEL ENGINEERING SCHEME
PUT INTO PRACTICE.
st. croix Falls Minnesota Improvement
Company Is Determined to Continue
Work on Water Power improvements
at Taylors Falls, Despite Cold
Weather-Muc Accomplished i'll
Fine Fall Weather.

After. fighting high water, scarcity of
labor, hreakdowns and other annoy
ances all summer, the ST. Croix Falls
Minnesota Improvement company,
which is making a $5,000,000 power i'm
provement at Taylors Falls. in the st.
eral Electric company, is now con-
fronted by cold weather and must put
up with still more trouble A few
days ago one OF the engineers remarked
that the fine fall weather was the only
good luck the enterprise had met with
since it started. Today his remarks are
different.
Under ordinary conditions it is not
considered, advisable to lay concrete in
hard freezing weather. AS the develop
mcnt is now. some weeks behind, new
| device will be resorted to in order that
work may he continued. Steam-heated
| concrete will be put into the huge dam
and the wintry winds may howl to their
hearts content, for the work must go on.
| Steam in Material.
! The. huge rock bins where the stone
from the crushers is stored before go
ing to the mixer will be equipped with
steam pipes and steam turned into the
material: In the same way the cement
crete will be, heated to a high temper
can be handled without danger of freez
| ing, retaining the artificial heat fo1
several hours. Without the heating
process the concrete would freeze before
it could be properly placed and" had an
opportunity to set. The plan is en-
tire'y Ths new j. in nc, northwestern engineering
I engineer. "and that is that we may
run out of steam. Once the steam j.
turned into. the rock bin which holds
thirty or forty tons of crushed stone, il
must be continued as long as the freez
ing weather holds out. If it were
stopped condensation would set in anC
the entire mass would freeze 80 hare
that it would never thaw until thu
middle of summer.
Much Accomplished
"The fine fall weather has been ;

veteran River Man Declares that If

Much for Mississippi.

II. Rcmh of Dresbach, Mimi, an old
river man, believes that eventually
there will be twenty foot channel in
the Mississippi river to the head OF
navigation. He expects to see factories
and industries built on the river banks
where raw material can be most easily

adjacent are titled, silt washes in and
banks are undermined and cave in, max
ing the course wide and shallow. In
places on the Mississippi he has seen
more than 100 feet of shore line washed
into the river in the last twenty years.
TO apply the remedy, he would have
the river brought back into it's natural
channel. He. says:
"Straighten the channel, avoiding
short and frequent turns, and, where
practicable. leading to Tock-bount
remove the sediment from the bottom
narrowing the channel.

slssippi arc made in the manner have
