More than S per cent Of the cattle
coming into Minnesota for a year were
diseased and had to be slaughtered at
an expense to the people of nearly
100000. This, in brief, is the report
of the state live stock sanitary board
for the year ending July 81, 1907. There
were 1922 cattle killed having tuber-
oulosis, and SIC glandered horses. The
report shows that great efforts are be-
ing made to eliminate live stock dis
case and while success is being reach
ed in the case Of glanders, it seems al
most impossible to achieve success
with tuberculosis because other states
do not cooperate
A new flre-proof grain elevator with
a capacity Of 1,000,00o bushels just
announced for construction by the
Northwestern Consolidated Milling Co.
is the first project Of importance of the

of the growth Of the milling district,
and increases the fre-proof grain stor-
age capacity of the city, already the
largest in the world. Plans for the new
structure are not complete but it will
be located between mills A and B of
the company's group and work will
probably begin as soon as spring opens

A deaf ear was turned Monday to
the recommendations of tho National
Board of Fire Underwriters by the fire
committee Of the council, that all 21s
and 3-inch couplings for hose conform
to the national standard. This recon-
mendation, seemingly not important,
would cost the city about $60,00O If fol-
lowed out, according to Chief J. r.
Canterbury. A national standard of
threading for couplings is advocated
