A CLOSE STUDY Of
PAVING QUESTION
LARGE AND ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING OF TAXPAYERS OF GRAND FORKS LAST EVENING
At COMMERCIAL CLUB ROOMS TO DISCUSS The IMPORTANT
QUESTION Of PAVING
Wide DIVERGENCE Exists With
Creosoe Block a
and Still Others bihulthic.No Arrive at

The meeting of the citizens at the
Commercial club rooms last night was
a large and enthusiastic one so far as
the taxpayers were concerned. The ses-
sion was called to order by President
Lander who stated the object of the
same and outlined the history of the
appointment of the committee, which,
with similar one from the city coun-
Gil has been considering the paving
matter. The first speaker WAS Chair
man Spriggs of the joint committee who
read report summarizing the investi-
cation of the committee From these
reports the costs of the several kinds
of material on a similar base was
found to be approximately as follows:
Creosote blocks $2.75; asphalt $2.35:
vitrified brick $2.75; bithulithic 1925:
Hassan $1.S5.
Babcocl<'s Theory.
Prof. Babcock made a talk which
had the merit of brevity at least. He
gave some condensations OF opinions
from a number of city engineers which
indicated something of the value of
some of the several kinds of material
where it has passed beyond the eNpnri-
mental stage-the condition OF the
creosote blocks if the reports of the
several cities using them is any guide.
Babcock favors brick, while not pre-
JUDGED in favor of any, Taking one
point made by him and one made by
speaker later in the evening, one
strong argument against the WOO
blocks was advanced. Replying to the
speech of r. B. Griffith, speaker
claimed that with brick, it would be
impossible for persons passing along
the street paved with brick to hear
each other because of the noise. Prof.
Babcock stated that the noisiness of
brick and wood were about equal.
Babcock's speech was a good lesson
in paving, but rather too theoretical
to be practical. He condensed the re-
ports from IS cities, and found that II
of these favored asphalt, 10 favored
brick and the rest were non-committal.
None of these thirty-five favored creo-
sote blocks. He gave from the same
generalized reports of cities which in
cludei 81 city engineers, the life CT
brick is % years, with no cost of re-
pairing for Is years. In this fifty-one
cities, six or eight perferred wood
blocks.
Engineer Smith.
The next speaker called was City
Engineer Smith. Smith is not a
Chauncey Depew by any means and
while he favored creosote blocks, he
could not land on the point as to why
he did so in a very convincing manner.
He stated that engineers had been ex-

cheaper was the one they should ia
vor. He was in favor with the infor-
nation at hand of the Hassan pave
ment.
Col. KnudnOn.
The speech which brought down the
house was made by Col. Knudson. He
stated that wood was wood and that
1t was useless to try to make ourselves
believe 1t was anything elese. We had
been fooled with it once, anl before we
We're done laying it, we were required
to begin repairing the first that had
been laid and had kept it up ever since.
He stated that he would not have it
laid around his property under any
consideration if he could prevent it.
Others Talk.
John A. Sorley advocated the Hassan
pavement and went on record as en-
phatically opposed to the idea advanc-
ed by Prof. Babcock short time ago
OF making the paving of the city
crazy quilt. He did not believe in paw
ing a part of the city with one kind of
material and anoiner with another.
There is in fact decided sentiment in
the city against making the city an ex.
perimental station for tie purpose of
studying paving materials John Din
ME advocated the decision of the kind
OF material to be used by the people
who have to pay for it. Alderman X.
G. Hunter was in favor Of postponing
action until the new law is in opera
ton allowing the city to ask for bids
FOR several kinds of paving material
at the same time. This seems to be
the view of many OF the citizens. A.
I. Hunter was asked as 10 the posi-
bilitE OF manufacturing vitrifel brick
FOR paving purposes at this place and
while he stated that he believed we
had the clay that the cost of installing
a plant would be such tina: it would
not be paying proposition. Consider
able running debate was INDUCED in
throughout the meeting, showing that
the people are aroused on the matter
and that a recommendation of any
kind of material will have to have
much in its favor before it will have
clear sailing. The people want pave
ment, but they want that which is best
for the city.
Alderman Joy stated that so far as
he was concerned, while he favored
creosote blocks, he would accept ad-
vice and information from the people.
But if they refused to give this, they
could not come back and claim it was
his mistake If he acted on his own
judgment, while they neglected to look
after the matter The meeting adj
journei without taking any definite &C
ton.

THE CASE WAS DISMISSED
An Action for Damages Brought by
Rogers Has Been Settled Out
of Court.

The case of VIM A. Rogers VS.. the
Great Northern, an action recently
commenced for the recovery of dam
ages, has been dismissed with preju-
dice, a satisfactory settlement having
been made.
In the clerk of courts office today,
the papers in the case of H. j. John
son vs. the county of Grand Forks and
Hans Anderson, as auditor were filed.
This action was commenced to test the
validity of that section of the primary
election law covering the payment of
fees by candidates.
The Tri-State condemnation cases
are still on and will probably be fin
ished today.
The next case to be tried is that of
L. T. Drake VS.. j. c. McWilliams.
This action is for damages, the plain
till claiming that defendant sold him
certain quantity of fax seed, in which
there were foreign seeds, and BY the
sowing of which he has damaged the
land.

SHIPPERS TAKE UP
THE KELSEY
OFFER
Matter of Building a Railroad
Line to the Southwest
Discussed.
MEETING HELD TODAY
Took Up the Proposition and
Some Action May be
Taken Shortly.

The railway and transportation
committee of the Commercial club
held meeting this afternoon. 1t was
held in the club rooms, and was for
the purpose of discussing the pro-
position made recently by W. H. Kel-
sey of which announcement was made
in the Times some time ago. W. ii.
Kelsey proposes to build railroad
line from here southwest to connect
with the 500 line, and asks that
bonus of $4,000 be raised by Grand
Forks people, and be presented to the
company. He says there is eastern
capital behind the proposition.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that this is too laise a sum for
bonus, but the matter will be thor.
oughly discussed, and some action
may be taken very shortly in regard
to it.

TRAVELLING MAN WAS LOST
C. Stebbins Tried to Drive Through a
Storm But Found It a Harder Job
Than He Thought.

G. Stebbins, a well known travelling
man, representing the Advance Thresh-
er company had an experience near
Faith, MINI. several days ago that he
will not forget in a hurry. Stebbins
had started to drive from Faith TO
Hawley, when it began to storm. The
storm finally became so bad, that he
became lost. After circling around for
two or three hours, he finally cut
through some barb wire fences, and
found a small farm house, where he
was given place to sleep. The next
morning Stebbins managed to reach
Faith, none the worse for the expert
ence.

THE HOLIDAY EXCURSIONS
Special Rates Made by Railways out OF
Grand Forks to Those Who Spend
Xmas Away.

The annual holiday excursion rates
are now in force out of Grand Forks.
They went into effect this morning for
points on foreign lines, while for
points on the local lines, they will go
in force Saturday
The rates this year are fare and a
third when part of the trip is on for
eign lines, and on local lines, the fare
is fare and one-third except when one
fare plus 50 is lower, then the later
rate will be charged. There was some
talk that the holiday rates could not
be granted when the new rate law
went into effect, but there seems to be
nothing to it.

TRANSMISSION 0F
TUBERCULOSIS
GERM
Question of Whether Milk
From Infected Cow is Dan.
gerous to Man.
WHITE PLAGUE STUDENT
Says That it Should be Con-
demned- Question Was
Before Council.

At the last meeting of the city coun-
Gil, when the proposed milk ordinance
came up for discussion, the question of
whether or not milk from tubercular
COWS was dangerous to persons or not
was taken up by several of the speak
ers. Some claimed that the disease
germs could be transmitted from COWS
to persons through the milk. In re-
gard to the matter, the New York Tri-
bune says editorially.
There is a notable lack of agreement
as to the causes Of consumption be-
tween the two German bacteriologists
who have given the subject the most
study. Five years ago Koch disputed
the soundness of the belief-then al
most universal-that the disease could
be acquired by drinking the milk of
tuberculous cows. Won Behring has
read a paper in Stuttgart this week
re-afiirming the old doctrine. The
basis for Koch's opinion was some
experiments which led him to think
that human and bovine tuberculosis
were two distinct maladies and were
not intercommunicable. Won Behring,
If correctly reported, now asserts that
the milk of a COW which is suffering
from tuberculosis is really more dan
serous to a human being than germs
originating with another person.
When Koch first gave utterance to
his revolutionary ideas he encountered
two kinds of criticism. He was charg-
ed with plagiarism, and in support of
the accusation it was pointed out that
other men had previously conducted
investigations having the same object
as his. There was also an emphatic
protest against the accuracy of his
deductions. DR.. Herman M. Biggs, for
many years the chief medical officer
of the health board in this city, re-
marked that there was SO much evil
dence that the disorder could be trans
mittei from animals to human beings
that Koch's teachings could not wisely
be accepted offlhand. At the congress
in which Koch revealed his convictions
he was met with statistics derived
from careful observation in England
and Scotland. Professor John Mac
Faydean cited significant testimony
from childrens hospitals in London
and Edinburgh. Post-mortem exam
inations Of youthful victims of tuber-
culosis, he said, showed that in %
or 20 per cent of the cases the system
had been invaded by way of the in
testinal canal. Whether or not the
proportion holds good in other large
cities of the world does not appear,
but Professor MacFaydean's figures
are painfully suggestive. What is
more, Won Behring now insists that
some of the baciqH which are swallow

perimenting with wood for several
years and that the present creosoting
methods were the only ones which had
been found to be perfect. He did not
state whether or not the same claims
had been made at the time of the en-
gineers on other methods which have
been proved failures by time and ex-
perience. He attempted to read a con-
densatiOn of the several reports re-
ceived on the block business by the
committee, but John Sherman reading
statistics into the congressional record
was like the bubbling humor of Mark
Twain in comparison with the city en-
gineer, trying to get out statistics
which were convincing. He finally
took up the letter of the city engineer
of the Jamestown, New York, who says
that the block pawn g in that city
swells, and buckles so that it looks
like a carbuncle on the body, and has
pushed the boards which We're placed
at the end of the paving entirely out
of position. He was opposed to the
Hassan pavement because it was too
hard He claimed that this Hassan
pavement would injure horses becaus.
it was so hard for them to travel on.
John Dinnie asked him why the fire
department horses of st. Paul We're
kept standing on cobble stone floors all
the time few years ago and probably
at this time. But he did not answer.
Neither did he explain why a solid
cement paving would be harder for a
horse to travel on than a block which
Smith claimed was SO solid that it
would not wear out with the heaviest
travel, and laid on a concrete founda-
ton.
Haxxan Has Inning.
NJ. w. Spaulding was called upon to
explain the merits of the Hassan paw
ing material. This is a solid pavement
composed of crushed stone rolled as
compact as possible and cemented to-
gether with cement surface. Spauli-
ing stated that the concern engaged in
the manufacture of this, and would put
it down for $1.S5 per square yard.
Smith had considerable objection to
this, but SO far as could be determined
he did not get it out except it's hard
ness.
r. b. Grinith's Reasons.
R. B. Griffith, who will be one of the
heaviest taxpayers under the paving
arrangement, gave reason that is de-
serving of some attention. He stated
that men engaged in large business in
this city should practice economy and
that the same thing was true in pub
lie works, and that a pavement which
seemed as good and was SO much

ell with food or drink find their way
to the lungs. If he is right, pulmon-
airy consumption is not due alone to
the inhalation of infected air.
The most important question to
which Kochs declarations gave rise
related to the expediency of abandon
Ing precautions formerly deemed es-
sential to the public health. AS DR..
Biggs remarked in 1901, it would be
great convenience If the inspection of
milk and meat, with view to de-
tecting disease germs, could be dis
continued. AS matter of fact, how
ever, there has been little relaxation of
sanitary discipline in this particula".
There is some reason to think that the
danger has been exaggerated, but
health boards in the United States and
Europe still hesitate to change their
policy. VonBehring's latest express
siOns will make them more reluctant
to do so than ever.
One Of Won Behring's statements,
though apparently intended to detract
from the value of one of Koch's
achievements, indirectly strengthens
the latter's position. When Koch de-
vised the preparation which he named
tuberculin he hoped that 1T would de-
velop curative qualities. In that re-
spect It was a failure, but it has been
extensively employed for purposes Of
diagnosis. and for long time was used
with cattle alone. If the introduction
OF a certain quantity Of the fluid under
a cows skin was followed by given
symptoms, the result was construed as
a sign that the animal was suffering
from tuberculosis. Under those cir
cumstances 1t was held that the COW
should either be isolated from the herd
or killed. Within the last year or two
the tuberculin test has been employed
with human subjects, where the exis-
tence of consumption was suspected,
but where decisive indications were alb
sent. Now, Won Behring asserts that
he has tried tuberculin on persons
whose exceptional sensitiveness pro-
duced the usual symptoms, but in
whom there were absolutely no germs.
If such be the case, 1t is credible that
N$SSoA0 NAAAVA oAAkOhS3 IlCA1SCltCS Ill Suo-
ceptibility, and that the tuberculin test
is occasionally, if not often, delusive.
More than one reputable veterinarian
has held that tuberculin was far from
infallible, and here is Independent con-
ffrmation of that opinion.
Until better means have been found
for distinguishing between healthy cat
tie and those which are in the incipient
stage of the disease, tuberculin will
probably not be discarded. Perhaps
it will be deemed judicious to wait for
additional proof before slaughtering
animals which react" to the tuberculin
test, but healthy officers would certain
ly be warranted in condemning any
milk in which tuberculosis germs were
found, no matter how they got into the
fluid.
