SMOKELESS CITIES.

Most OF the efforts made In this and other
countries 10 keep the atmosphere OF cities free

Tecte6 90 regulating the manner in which soft
coal is burned This is the most direct mode
OF dealing with the evil, but there are others
which would prove equally effective and might
turn out 20 be equally practicable. A writer in
the current "CassiePs Magazine for instance
sounds the praises OF coke, which yields no
more smoke than anthracite, but is very little
used except by iron smelters. The suggestion
deserves consideration, especially in cities west
or the Alleghanies and distant from the hard
coal deposits. If IL were followed up with in
teLigence and energy, much might come OF it,
Still another variety OF absolutely smOkeleSs
fuel IS artificial gas, which is not as fully ap-
preciated as it might be, although New York
seems to have had a keener sense of it's value
than any other American city
Tbs writer for "Cassier's Magazine" has col
Iected some interesting figures regarding the
consumption OF coal and artificial gas in sew
eral large centres OF population il the United
States. BE finds that in the metropolis the
average amount OF coal burned in a year per
capita IS 312 tons, whereas Boston burns 6 20
and certain Western cities or more On the
other hand, for every one Of her 100000 resi-
dents New York uses 5000 cubic feet of gas
q year, whereas other large cities consume from
ience OF gas as compared with coal is most
obvious in the kitchen. A fire can be lit in !,
gas range instantaneOusly and can be eXtin-
guished the moment it has performed the ser
vice required OF f. Waste is thus avoided, and
discomfort in summer is reduced 10 a low mini
mum.
The change made in household usage however
is of no account SO far as the purity OF the air
is INVOLVED. Even were the heating Of homes
in winter conducted with gas furnaces exclu-
sivey. the public would not gain appreciably
The individual consumer generally uses hard
coal, and consequently commits no nuisance.
The principal if not the sole, sources OF offence
are the stacks OF steam plants which generate
power for some manufacturing industry or for
the operation Of an electric railway. Now, It
has been demonstrated conclusively that twice
as much power canpDe obtained from ton OF
coal IL il is converted Alto gas and used ex-
plOsively In an internal Combustion engine than
when it is used in the old fashioned way TO pro
duce steam for a steam engine. The greatest
economy is insured, Of course. when the gas is
manufactured on the premises OF the consumer,
where however, IL is not always practicable

which must not be overlooked is that the big
gest gas engines yet built do not quite equal
the largest steam engines, but il is doubtful
whether the increased number OF units would
require any more space IN power house. In
deed, they might need even less. Under some
circumstances, therefore, the substitution of

A VICTIM OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Gottlieb Klein Met Instant Death at
Walcott During Storm.

Word was brought to the city today
of the death of Gottlieb Klein, by light
ming, about $50 a. M, in the storm at
Walcott, N D. He and man named
Norman Cullan, went to the upper part
of the Walcott mill to close the win
dows against the approaching storm.

80 feet above the top floor. to close
the openings there. While in the act
of shutting one of the windows a bolt
descended and struck him on the head,
instantly killing him and precipitat-
ing his dead body to the floor below.
The stroke hit him to one side and
near the back of the head, coursed
down his shoulder and arm to the
hand where it leaped to the right leg
which it followed to his foot, tearing
off the shoe and rending it to pieces.

found on the body, but none sufficient
to have caused death by the fall.

The local postal authorities are in
receipt OF a circular letter from the

ployes are given a gentle reminder that
they must have nothing to do with
the American Federation of Labor.
An order to this effect has been re-
ceived at the Grand Forks postoffice.
warning all mail clerks against at
tempting to Join this union or strike
for higher wages and shorter hours.
The order follows:
"The postmaster general invites at
tention to that portion of his last an
nual report relating to organizations
of employees as the present position
of the department. to be respected and
enforced by all officials and employees
of the service.
Especial attention is invited to the
concluding paragraph, reminding en-
ployes of their supreme allegiance to
the government and of the overshad-
owing authority of the department.
Organizations within the depart
ment to receive its sanction in any de.
gree must have for their chief object
improvements in the service or be of
purely fraternal or beneficial charac-
ter. With any other purpose in view
they are detrimental to the service
to their members and to the public.

is to insist upon loyal and efficient

ecutive officers must consult the inter-
ests of all the people, must pay only
such salaries and make only such as
signments of its force as they are au-
tnOrized to do by congress. Within
these limitations it should be the duty
and pleasure of the postmaster general
to secure for every employee such rec
ognition for his services and compen-
satiOn therefor as he finds possible and
consistent with the public interest.
That will do, and It must be clearly
understood that the officials of the
department. and not the officials or
members of any organizations, are the
proper persons to present the depart
ment's needs to congress.
THE department expects your CO.
operation. Your constitution and by
laws should at every point square with
the regulations of the department.
Your officials must be employees of the
department Your discussions should
be characterized by good sense and
conservatism and YOU must keep ever
before you the fact that over the or

partment. an integral part of the gov
eminent to which you owe your SUI
