THE U. c. T. BOYS.
In the Field Earlier After Holidays
Than Usual.

In the Field Earlier After Holidays
Than Usual.
: Commercial travellers have gone in
to the field earlier than usual after
the holiday season, and what is more
their number has been considerably
augmented. Reports seem to indicate
that trade warrants this.
The records of the supreme secre-
tary of the U. c. T. show a total of
5000 applications for membership
last year, an increase of about
thousand over the year 1904. The or
der paid out $217,749S3 for accident
indemnity and death claims as against
$204, 1924 in 1904. The sum of $14,-
965.50 was paid out of the orphans
and widows relief fund to bene-
ficiaries, as against $13,365.S5 the
year before.
There is considerable disappoint-
ment at the lack of results from the
meeting of Governor Hanly, of In
diana. with the executive committee
OF the Central Passenger association.
The railroads made no concessions
though some of them say that fiat
2-cent per mile rate would work no
hardship to them.
w. G. Nye. secretary of the public
affairs committee of the Minneapolis
Commercial club, heartily endorses
the suggestion Of a U. c. T. hotel. He.
says: Minneapolis needs more hotel
accommodations. There is a fine op-
portunity for hotel of large size
and modern equipment, and the loca-
ton of one in the wholesale and Job
bling district would be central enough

much concern over the number of ty-
phoid fever cases which have devel-
oped there during the last few days.
He also states that the authorities at
Breckenridge are tussling with a siege
of smallpox and that every precaution
Is being taken to prevent the spread
of the disease.
1t is claimed that there are four
teen cases Of typhoid at Wahpeton.
The Fargo Forum says: Every
effort should be made to avoid an
epidemic of typhoid in this section
and too much care cannot be exercised.
The river water comes direct from
Wahpeton and the sewers Of that ty-
phofd district empty into the stream,
which is little more than a sewer at
this season when covered to half its
depth with ice. The water has little
chance for publication and is about as
unfit for drinking purposes as fluid
from a cesspool."
AS for Grand Forks, the water sup
ply is considered excellent and tho
filter system unsurpassed by any in
the northwest. Local physicians,
among them DIR. H. H. Healy, are of
the opinion that there is no danger
from drinking the water here.
But few cases of typhoid have oc-
CURED here since the filter was put
in and the city is practically free
from the disease now.

FEAR HORSE
FAMINE
There Is Scarcity Of Horse Flesh In
All Sections of the Country and
Horses Bring Coed Prices.

Horses Bring Coed Prices.
II you own any horses you have
property as good as government
bonds.
There is horse famine just at
present and the country is fairly
flooded with buyers. DR.. Tracey of
the bureau of animal industry has
met buyers from all over the United
States recently and the demand is far
in excess of the supply.
1t is DR.. Tracey's opinion that the
situation cannot be relieved for at
least three years and, in the mean
time, the stock growers of the west
ern part of North Dakota are des-
tined to reap a rich harvest.
There are more good horses in the
western part of this state than in any
other section Of North America" said
DR.. Tracey. Montana has been about
cleaned out and this state offers the
only field for buyers"
AS an evidence OF the scarcity of
horses, attention is called to the fact
that several carloads of wild, unbrok-
en- horses were sold in Dickinson last
fall at an average price of 1925.
Never before in the history of the
country have such horses brought
anything like such figure.
The immigration to the Canadian
northwest has played a part in Great
ing a horse famine Prospective set
tiers in that section nave bought all
of the available developed horses and
at the same time mares and colts
have been bought in the middle
states. During the time when horses
were SO cheap, about six years ago,
many of the stock raisers in the mid
die states went out of the horse rails
ing business. Buyers from the New
England and southern states who had
before secured horses in the middle
states transferred their operation to
Montana and it was not long before
that state was cleaned out.
At present North Dakota is the
horse market of the western hemis-
phere and everything that bears any
OF the equine marks is worth money.
The North Dakota horses are in the
very best of condition. The past
three winters have been most favor
able. Although TIE weather has been
severe, the grass on the ranges has
been good and the range horses have
had good growth.
The prospects for cattle ra1sers is
not as favorable just at present While
the business is not poor, a feeling of
uncertainty prevails because buyers
are not taking large punches of stock.
This is explained by the fact that
rapid settlement of the range country
is being made and rumors of irriga-
ton projects have been in the air.
The cattle buyers hesitate to take
large punches of cattle and put them
on the old ranges on account of the
movement of settlers. 1t is we'll
known fact that wild cattle will not
range in the vicinity of settlers

capital stock Of the company is $780,
900. but not knowing the value of the
electric plant and the percentage of
the stock representing franchise value
can only make an estimate which l
am sure is large enough. Out of the
total cost $l.33. you will notice that
60 cents is for interest and deprecia-
ton at the usual rate of 10 per cent.
Any change in the capitalization or
actual investment would therefore
change these figures one way or the
other.
In the gas works with which l was
connected, the output was about 400,-
600 Gu. IT. per day, the net price re-
ceived was 81 per thousand IT. and
coal cost 49,. rs delivered. Inasmuch
as the price of coal does not make
great difference in the cost of gas, due
to the recovery of coke, you can read
lily see that the cost as given 81 .33)
Is certainly the maximum and that a
lower figure is possible.
Therefore with gas at $2.5 per
thousand feet, the very least profit
would be nearly % per cent on an in
vestment of $4,000, very hand
some return, indeed. l am sorry that
l was not able to obtain more exact
figures, but such as they are, they are
sufficient to show you the reasonable
ness of the popular demand for low
er price of gas.
The city council now has before it
an ordinance to regulate the price of
gas. The prices therein stipulated
are high enough to permit a very
handsome profit for the gas company,
and l, for one, should like to see the
price of gas for both fuel and light at
not more than $3.50 minimum and
$1.75 maximum, at which rate the gas
company would still make liberal
profit.
sincerely hope that our friends.
the lawyers, will be able to convince
the courts that regulation of the gas
company by the municipality is neces-
sary and l am sure that we all will
lend our hearty support to their en-
deavOrs.
The paper was freely discussed and
Professors Decker, Babcock, Stewart
and others endeavored to make clear
any complicated points. The impress
sion with some that the best results
are secured by turning the gas jet
half on is erroneous, as the pressure
is insufficient in the plant in this
city and the full jet is required for
the best light.

MANUFACTURE
OF GAS
Esstaishtly Club Listened to Inter.
es4ing Paper On the Subject By
Fret. Decker Of the University Last
Hyeaine.

Gas, its cost of manufacture and
methods used in the same was the
subject of an interesting paper reau
the meeting of the Fortnightly club
last evening.
Several members of the council
were present and the paper was lis
tened to with marked attention, the
author having had practical expert
ence In the manufacture Of gas and
an exhaustive knowledge of the cost,
etc.
Relative to the cost of the manu.
facture of gas Professor Decker said:
In view of the interest taken at
present by the people of our city in
the question of the cost of gas to the
consumer, it will be we'll to conclude
this paper with some figures on the
cost of gas to the manufacturer. In
these figures l have attempted to ap-
ply local conditions as much as pos
sible, basing my figures on an average
daily send out of 100000 Gu. it., using
equal quantities of water and coal gas.
An average yield of gas per ton of
coal is 10000 Gu. IT,; 65 per cent Of
the coal used Is taken out as coke,
which Is used as fuel under the
benches and in the water gas machine
md the remainder is sold for fuel.
The cost of coal delivered here is
taken ut S. per ton, which is fair
price. while the selling price of coke
IL taken at the same figure, inasmuch
as the retail price is So as sold by
coal dealer. For coal gas the price is
then approximately as follows:
