1t has been maintained by the Duis
followers that the filtered water is
free from contagious germs and that
the amount OF sand in the filter was
sufficient to insure the purity of the
water. The Evening Times has shown
that the amount of sand in the filter
is far less than is required to insure
pure water and comparison of both
filtered and uufiltered water sub
mitted to analysis shows very little
difference in the quantity of undecom-
posed organic matter.
Analysis of River Water.
Under date of September 2S, 1903
Mr.. Babcock, university professor of
chemistry, examined water from the
Red and Red Lake rivers.
Lab. No. 1853, water taken from east
side of the Red river across the point
from the intake, inst below the bridge,
showed albumenoid ammonia repre-
senting undecomposed organic matter

PLAYED SLOW
GAME

Grand Forks Whist Team Came Ont
Tail Enders at Red River Valley
Whist Tourney at Fargo-Fergus
Falls Won Championship.
The Grand Forks whist team re-
turned last evening and this morning
from the tournament of the Red River
Valley Whist association, which has
been in progress in Fargo for the past
two days. While the team, consisting
of Willis A. Joy, DIR. H. M. Wheeler,
p. w. Wilder and Judge C. F. Temple
ton, only succeeded in landing last
place among the six teams contesting,
it was rather the fault of the team
work rather than of the individual
players
While member of the association,
Grand Forks has not been represented
in the tournament for three years and
the players had never all played in
the same game before, yet they went
down more as an accommodation to
Fargo and the association than in the
hope of winning honors. While their
team work was weak, as individual
players they made creditable show
ing.
In the free-for-all contest Wednes-
day evening, Templeton and Joy
scored ia points while the winning
score was 115, taking second place.
DR.. Wheeler and Wilder scored third
place in the same contest, demonstrate
Ing that they are good individual play
ers. Next year the team will be in
shape to do team work and will
probably make the Fergus Falls team
go some to hold the honors.
The teams contesting were from
Fergus Falls, Jamestown, Mayville,
Grand Forks. Brainerd and Fargo
The Fergus Falls team won first hon
ors for the second time. with Fargo a
close second.

DEVELOPMENT RAPID.
Contractor Sees Many Changes ii
Northwest.

Contractor Quigly, who is one of
the Oldest railroad builders in the
northwest. passed through the city
this morning enroute to Greenbush.
where he has crew of men at work
on the extension of the Great North
ern line to Roseau. While the wealth.
er has somewhat interfered with the
work this winter. he is looking for
ward to a good summers work and
says the road will be rushed through
as soon as possible.
Mr.. Quigley is one of the most en-
perienced railroad builders in the
northwest, as he was one of the con-
tractors who helped build the Can
adian Pacific and has been building
railroads ever since.
He says that the development of the
northwest has been truly marvellous
and that nowhere or at no time was
the growth SO marked than the past
four or five years in the Red river
valley.

Analysis OF Filtered Water.
Compare this with the report of Mr..
Babcock of the chemical analysis OF
the filtered water taken from thu
mains February 26, 1906, which re-
port shows that the water delivered
to consumers contained O.26 parts per
million of albumenoid ammonia or
precisely the same as Lab. No. 1854
being the water taken direct from the
Red River of the North; it is but 0.O2

Northern and Southern Racing Cir.
cults of North Dakota Will Bring
Their Horses to Grand Forks for
the County Fair-A Big Feature.

The Northern and Southern Racing
circuits of North Dakota are willing
to bring their strings of horses to
Grand Forks this fall for the Grand
Forks county fair. They will be at
Fargo for the state fair and will come
to Grand Forks.
The matter has been under consid-
Grafton for some time and has been
finally shaped up. 1t will mean a
big attraction for the county fair and
liberal purses will be offered.
The state fair association has def
nitely decided to offer $4,000 in pur-
ses for the races and this will bring
together fast bunch of horses. Grand
Forks county will profit by bringing
this bunch to the county fair while
they are together.

CASES BEFORE THE COURT
Judge Templcton Transacted Legal
Business In Fargo.

Judge c. F. Templeton has returned
from Fargo, where he went not only
to play whist but to argue cases be-
fore the supreme court. The Judge
was interested in two cases, one Of G.
7. Laffey Of Deliver, Iowa, vs.. Fred
Gordon of Niagara, this county. The
case involved certain lands and was
taken from the district court, Judge
Fisk presiding, to the supreme court
Judge Templeton represented the To-
cal man and Attorney Pugh of Lari-
more the Iowa parties.
The other case was that of the First
National bank of Portage, Wis, va,
Lowe, as receiver for the First State
Bank of Northwood. The attorneys
submitten supplemental briefs in the
case. Judge Templeton appeared for
the defendant and Judge Corliss for
the plaintiff.

SIGNING PLAYERS.
w. H. McNiel After Bunch OF Fast
Players for Grand Forks.

w. H. Mcneil is after bunch of fast
players for Grand Forks If there is
man in the northwest who knows
where to find the good ball players, it
is this same McNiel. He has written
a large number of letters as we'll as
other people interested in the team
this year. While no replies have been
received thus far, they will doubtless
land number of the old players.
1t is probable that within few days
the local management will have a
large number of good players on the
string. There are more players of
this class than of the major leagues
and it is not at all likely that Grand
Forks will have much trouble in get
ting good team.
1t has been intimated that Chuck"
Chandler and Billy Hanrahan may
possibly be signed, and the local fans
would be delighted to see these two
popular players in the bunch.

NEW TRIAL DENIED.
Verdict of $500 in Suit Of ]. II. Du.
BlOis Against G. n. Stands.

Judge D. B. Searle of the district
court of Stearns county, Minnesota, at
st. Cloud, has handed down an order
denying new trial in the case of ].
H. Dubois of Melrose against the
Great Northern, damage suit in
which plaintiff was awarded a verdict
of $500.
DuBloise was injured in an accident
year or so ago on the Great North
ern "Y" at Grand Forks Junction,
through the overturning of a passen-
ger coach. He later brought suit for
100000 and recovered a verdict as
above noted. The defendant railroad
company's request for a setting aside
of the verdict was denied, as has also
been the request for new trial.

DOES NOT VOTE TICKET.
]. B. Wfneman Decides Point left to
Him by Citizens.

There has been much discussion rel
alive to the manner in which the bal
lots should be marked in the coming
city election. The regular republican
ticket has a box above the column of
candidates to be marked. There is no
such box above the individual candi-
dates. The question is, does the
marking of the box above the repub-
lican column vote the entire ticket,
even ii tile elector MARKS crosses after
the names OF individual candidates?
MIR. Wineman cites the case of
HAYES vs. Paffer, decided by the SUI
preme court, page 4S4 in the Eighth
North Dakota. 1t is decided here that
in filling the box above the party tick
ct, the voter votes the entire ticket un-
less he places marks after individual
names in the other tickets. 1t is then
held that he voted for all of the party
candidates except those after whose
names he placed the crosses. His
vote must be counted for such candi-
dates on the other tickets,

tanned by the same person who ap-
propriated the package.
The disappearance of this money has
been great mystery, and one which
completely baffled the officials OF the
Great Northern Express company
through whom it had been consigned,
and their detectives, as we'll as the
local police, but the identity of the
thief, for there seems now to he littie
doubt that the money was stolen, will
in all probability be learned in the
course OF a few days.

A Bridge Kept In Repair by MusseIs.

A Bridge Kept In Repair by Mussels.
The byssus, or silky beard, by which
the mussel moors itself to the stone, IS
a familiar object Of our sea rocks. 1t
Is in its nature like the silk Of the silk
worm and exudes in glutinous thread
from an organ at the base of the foot.
The following Is an instance in which
the nooring Of the mussel was useful
to effect a purpose which human skill
could not accomplish: A large bridge,
with twenty arches, in the town Of
Biddeford, in Devonshire, crosses the
Torridge river near the spot Of its
junction with the Taw. The tide flows
50 very rapidly here that it was found
impossible to keep the bridge in repair
by means Of mortar. The corporation
therefore keeps boats employed ip
bringing mussels to 1t, and the inter
stices Of the bridges are filed by hand
with these mussels. 1t is supported
from being driven away by the tide
entirely by the strong threads which
these mussels tx to the stonework, and
by an act or grant it is crime liable
to transportation for any person to re-
move the mussels unless in the pres.
ence and by the consent Of the cor
poratlve trustees.-Scottish Nights.

DEAD WATER.
Effect OF This Queer Marine Phenous.
enon Upon n Ships Speed.

Effect OF This Queer Marine Phenous.
enon Upon a Ships Speed.
One Of the most curious marine phe-
nonlena known 10 seamen is that call
ed by Norwegian sailors dead water"
which, without any visible cause,
makes a vessel lose her speed and re-
fuse to answer her helm. The sailors
only definite knowledge Of its origin is
that it exists solely where there is .
surface layer Of fresh water resting
upon the salt waters Of the sea. Sew
eral explanations have been advanced
by the captains Of ships Of the effect OF
dead water, the commonest Of which is
that the two water layers move in dif-
ferent directions. The true explana-
ton, however, recently offered by Swe-
Gish navigators and verified by mathe-
matical calculation and direct expert
ment, is that in addition to the 'resist-
ance waves" at the surface the vessel
creates a second line Of subaqueous
waves between the two strata Of wa
ter.
The experiment carried out to DEM
onstrate the truth Of this theory was
an exceedingly pretty one. a large
plate glass tank was first mounted OF
q wooden frame The tank was then
filed to q certain depth with salt wa
ter, and a layer of fresh water was
carefully poured on to the surface, so
that two separate water layers were
obtained.
The salt water was biackened with
liquid Chinese ink before the water
layers were prepared. and in this way
the different layers were made clearly
visible. \ boat moGcl was then towed
along the tank and Il silhouette Of the
waves produced was obtained by plac-
ing white screen at short distance
behind the tank. The waves were also
photographed by hashlight, and the re-
suits showed concluSivcly that waves
actually were set up ut the boundary
line between the two liquids.
Further experiments were made to
verify the sudden loss OF speed due to
dead water. The boat model was
drawn across the tank and the towing
string suddenly slackened when the
boat was about halfway across. In
cases where the tank contained salt
water only the boat stopped gradually,
moving some boat lengths after the
towing string had been slackened.
When the tank contained layer of
fresh water resting on salt water, on
the other hand, the boat slackened
speed quite suddenly and moved only a
very short distance.
These experiments, carried out on a
small scale, prove conclusively that the
difficulties encountered within a dead
water zone are really due to the re-
sistance experienced by the vessel ia
generating invisible waves at the fresh
water salt wateraboundary, although in
some particular cases the influence Of
undercurrents must also doubtless be
taken. into account-New York Herald.

Did you ever meet 4 stranger who

usually in an undertone and with his
eyes wandering while talking? The
mans manner is not an indication that
he is weighing his words or has some
thing important to tell. 1t is almost a
sure sign that be has spent years In
Jail. This manner Of talking is ac-
quired in prison, where conversation
among prisoners is prohibited and
where the men have to talk out Of one
side Of their mouths in order to prevent
the keeper from noticing that converse
ton is going on. The habit sticks to
the convicts for years after they get
