SIGNED BY GOVERNOR.
Bill Giving State Of New York Control
Of Public Utilities.

Of Public Utilities.
Albany, N. Y, June THE So
called public utilities bill has been
signed by Governor Hughes This bill
is probably one of the most farreach-
ing reform measures ever passed by
an American legislature. 1t places
under direct state control every public
service corporation, great or small, IN
the state of New York with the ex-
ception of the telephone and telegraph.
1t applies not only to the railroads,
street railway and subway lines, ex'
press companies and gas and electric
lighting companies doing business ex-
clusively in the state, but to the busl'
ness within the state of all railroads
or other common carriers which enter
the state at any point. The two COM
missions created by the act will have
most sweeping powers in regulating
the corporations affected. The bill,
which was urged by Governor Hughes,
reached it's final passage in the face
of the most bitter and determined op-
position. 1t was fought from first to
last by representatives of the wealthy
corporations, which will feel the
weight Of the regulations it imposes.
For days In the two branches of the
legislature the most bitter denunc1a-
lions were heaped upon the measure.
When finally it was forced through
the assembly and the senate it was
sent back for reconsideration with the
veto of Mayor Mcclellan of New York
city, to whom it went under the law
which provides that all laws directly
affecting the city must be passed upon
by the mayor.

Another Road Drag.

Alexandria has new road tool which
surpasses in efficiency the much talked
of split log drag. 1t is formed of two
eight Or ten inch planks about ten feet
long set edgewise, "A'' fashion. The
planks are hinged at the apex of the
GA" and are fastened together near
the rear ends and about the middle
with cross pieces arranged so that the
angle can be made greater or less at
will. The under side of the planks
are faced with iron plates. The ends
of the planks which are fastened to-
gether are sloped up so as to leave an
opening underneath.
The rear cross piece is about three
feet from the end of the side pieces.
The chain to which the team is hitched
is fastened in the side pieces where
this cross piece joins them. In place
of pulling the drag piont forward as
the old "A' drag was pulled, it IS re-
versed and pulled open end first. The
ron plated sides of the drag cut off
the rough places and filled the ruts,
letting the small amount of surplus
dirt run out at the apez of the drag
| where the side pieces are beveled.
The drag was tried on the Alberto
road south of town Friday and worked
like charm. The grade was left hard
and smooth. The drag is so arranged
that one side may be taken off and a
piece putin containing dragteeth where
it is desirable to drag the road before
scraping it. In that manner driving
one way will scrap that portion of the
road which was dragged going the
other way.
The cost is small, being only twenty
dollars with the extra drag tooth aid.
The drag is not road maker. 1t is
intended for keeping roads in condition
after they are made, and to Judge by
the roads on which it has been used
near Lowry and the test given here
Friday, it is suecess.-Alexandria

Quality of Surface Waters i'm Min
nesota.
AS a result of nearly two years.
field and laboratory work carried on
by the Uuited States geological survey
in cooperation with the state board of
health, the federal survey have just
issued report outlining the general
characteristics of the surface waters
in Minnesota, and discussing the
various factors that tend to modify
the quality of the drainage. Both the
chemical and the archaeological work
during the entire cooperation, were
under the immediate supervision of
DIR F. F. Wesbrook, director of the
laboratories of the State Board of
Health, who shares the authorship of
the paper with Mr.. r. B. Dole, of the
Geological Survey.
The headwaters of these great
drainage sytems lie within the borders
of Minnesota. approximately one
tenth of its surface is tributary to the
Laurentian system; three 5enths drain
to Hudson Bay through its great
tributaries, Red and Rainy rivers; the
rest of the State is tributary to the
Mississippi either directly or through
its large branches, Missouri, Des
Moines, Cedar, st. Croix, and Mime
sofa Rivers.
| The report in question discusses the
conditions, both natural and economic,
that influence the quality of the water
and impart to the lakes and streams
their essential characteristics, after
which each drainage area is consi-
dered in detail, the streams are
described, the sources of pollution are
discussed, and the results of chemical
and meteorological examinations are
given. The report is available for free
distribution and copies may be OBJ
tanned by addressing the Director,

NEW FLORAL DECORATIONS IN MILLIONAIRE'S ROW
NEW YORK.-Either the lateness of

NEW YORK.-Either the lateness of " the season or the fickleness of New York taste has had the effect of changing very much the appearance of the city this spring as regards it's floral decorations. The use of pansies is noticed as novelty. They appear in front of the Cornelius Vanderbilt house where there are beds extending along the whole Fifth avenue block from Fifty eighth to Fifty-seventh street Along the outside of these beds are thin lines of pink English daisies forming pretty contrast with the purple and yellow of the hearts ease.
 The same flowers are used in the Sloane house, six blocks further down the avenue. There no daisies disturb the monopoly of pansies.
 Mrs. Oelrichs has decorated her house this year with pale pink hy. drangeas. which form an appropriate garniture to the French architecture of the building. Hydrangeas also ap- pear for the first time on several other houses. Mrs. Edward Berwind has them mixed with geraniums and daisies, to ornament her house.

New Bound-Proof Books.

Various methods of making sound proof building bricks or plates are noticed by German authorities. The chief constituent is calcined gypsum, and it appears that in the simplest process the mass is filled with fine pores by adding small proportion of such substances as the bicarbon. ates of the alkalies. the chemical ac- ton thus set up causing slow and steady evolution of carbonic acid gas as the gypsum sets and hardens. Though the plates become somewhat

Geraniums still survive as the stock flower, and Mrs. R. T. Wilson, Jr., has mixed them with white daisies and ivy on the facade of her new Adam house in Fifty-seventh street Mrs. Philip Lydig, on her house in East Fifty-second street, has rows of coral colored geraniums and daisies. Tho facade of Mrs. James Stillman's house. in East Seventy-secOnd street, has . line of flaming scarlet geraniums over the main entrance.
 Mrs. Burrall Hoffmann's house on Fifth avenue has coral geraniums. Mrs. Victor SOrchon's windows are filled with pansies and ivy; and Mrs. NJ. T. Pyne, whose house adjoins, has used geraniums and daisies
 One feature of the floral decorations is the preponderance of the flowers below Fifty-ninth street. There are few houses further up that show any decoration. The Astor houses never were adorned with flowers and the same thing is true of the houses of Mrs. Fish and Mrs. Mills and the J. H. Smith house. Of all the handsome homes on Seventy-second street, be- tween Fifth and Madison avenues, only the Stillman house shows a flower dis play.

WHY NOT GET TOGETHER?

The chairman of the water and light committee of the city of Prescott, and the Judge of Nevada county, will attempt to get together today on an agree ment by which the city is to use the old jail in the southern corner of the court house lot as cala- boose, under amended conditions.
 The city has been using the building for the past few years, and as payment has been giving the county free water service at the jail. On account of stock being kept in the yard adjoining the old jail, and other foul condi- tions, the city felt that her pris. onerS were not treated right and at the last meeting ot the council resolution was passed by which the city would furnish lights at the court house in addition to the water at the jail if the county would tear away the wooden building close by the calaboose, and remove the high fences ad. joining, and place the calabOose entirely in t he open with nothing surrounding, but a fence exactly like the one enclosing the entire court house lot, and pro- hibit the running of stock.in the enclosure.
 The county judge is willing to this, with little more considera- tion. In fact, he is almost persuaded to tear out everything in the court house yard except the court house building, and lie would like to do that if she could see a chance to get a new one. But what prevents a trade be- tween the town and county is lights at the jail. The judge exacts that before he will grant the other, and We believe the town can see it's way clear to grant the request. Lights at the court house benefit everybody. and the free and exclusive con trol of the old jail by the town is a sufficient recompense we think for furnishing lights and water at the new jail
 At any rate, one good thing is going to happen. The old jail and it's surroundingsis to be entirely r e nov d, or will be made great deal more re- spectacle by the city, if it gets absolute control of it.

EASY GOING MONARCH

King Carlos of Portugal is the happiest, most easy going and pleasure-loving ruler in Europe. The only cloud upon his horizon has been par lament which persisted in trying to make laws and the country. Life was not worth living decided the jolly monarch with such a pest all ways hand so he sent the lawmakers home and proclaimed that he would run the country alone for three years
 The private life of Portugals monarch is rather interesting, because it is more like that of a private gentleman than the daily round of sovereign. As he rises at five in the morning. he contrives to get all his work done before mid day, then five days of the six he gives over the afternoon and evening to his one amusement
