Judge James w. Witten, who hac
charge OF the registration and drawing
OF Trip county lands last summer, n
cording to numbers drawn, has sent out
to the newspapers of the northwest
the following rules and explanation of
the n in which the filings will be
handled, in order that absolute fairness
and equity may be had by all prospec-
tive settlers:
Il am informed that objections are
being made to that part of the recently
issued rules governing the approaching
making OF Trip county, s. d, entries
which requires each locating agent to
furnish cntrymen with sworn state
ments as to the kind, quality and to-
biography of lands selected for them.
VERY many of the Tripp county
homesteaders will be strangers in that
locality, without a personal knowledge
of either the lands to be entered or of
the competency or reliability of the
largo number of locating agents who
will offer their services, and as 1t will
be absolutely impossible for many of
them to safely select their future homes
without the aid OF some one who has
an intimate knowledge of the Trip

them all the aid and protection pos
sible, and q conscientious discharge of
that duty called for the rule complained
of.
No Crooked Work Allowed.
Heretofore sue a requirement has
not been made, and, as a result, many
homeseekers have In the past been To-
Gated or practically worthless lands
by incompetent and unreliable locat-
ors. No a should accept a fee from
another for selecting q home when he
has no knowledge of the lands selected,
tanned only from a personal exalnina-
ton of the selected tract made by the
locating agent himself, or from some
competent and reliable person who has
examined 1t.
1.-The protection of tine entrymen will
demand a strict enforcement of the
rule, and any locating agent who mis-
represents a tract Of Ian to an entry
mar will be speedily called to an ac-
counting. 1 do not even intimate that
any II Of the many persons who will
act as locating agents during the ap-
preaching opening are unreliable or
lack the proper qualifications, but the
rule will not hurt anyone who is re-
liable and qualified. and no one will
be recognized as a locating agent who
ply with it. l am satisfied that no
person who Is competent to perform
his duty as a locating agent will object
to the rule"

New York. Marcel 16.-A special to
the Herald from Palermo. Sicily. says:
Lieutenant Joseph Petrosini of the
New York police department was shot
down and killed early this evening near
his hotel. The assassins are unknown.
He had come here in important mis-
sion which had for Its object the pro-
lection OF peaceful Italian Americans"
Foo of Criminals.
Joseph Petrosini was a black hand
expert of the New York police DEPART
ment and q terror to the Italian GRIM
inals. 1t Is said he had more con-
iv%ictions for murder to his credit than
any five policemen connected with the
detective bureau. In his work 1t is but
natural he Incurred the enmity OF all
Italian criminals n the report of
his death in Italy leads to the belief
that he at last fell q victim to those
whom he had SO relentlessly prosecuted.
He vent to Italy more than a year
ago to work on a plan suggested by
Police Commissioned Bingham, the
basis OF which was to be adoption of
means to check the tide of undesirable
Italians and Sicilians to this country
and particularly to New York city. AS
a native of Italy and a MAJ OF great
experience on the local police force,
Petrosini was the best all around man
to accomplish the mission.
$4,000 Was Raised.
Private subscription was started and
100000 was raised. With this to de-
fray the expense of the undertaking,
Petrosini left for his native land to
establish bureaus through which it was
hoped to keep such complete records
that news Of the departure from Italy
or Sicily of any criminals could be
flashed to this country almost imme-
diately SO that the authorities here
could be on the alert n prevent their
landing or place them under arrest.
Relentless warfare will be waged
against the BLACK hand" societies by
the police of this and it is hoped OF
other cities as a result OF the murder
OF Lieutenant j. Petrosini.
American Plot?
For years Petrosini has been active
in the work Of bringing to justice men,
bers OF his own race. who carried on
Matchmaking operations in this coun-
in h name OF the black hand" It
Is believed here his murder was the
result Of q plot that had it's inception
in the United States and persons in
directly responsible for death are still
within the reach of the American po-
to bring about their arrest and convic-
ton and with this enc in View, Inspec-'

PRESIDENT TAF1'S

Washington. ID. c., March 1s.-Torty-
TOUR republican and II democratic sem
ators We're In their seats when the
~siden message was laid before
that body and read today. 1t received
careful attention.
Many senators laughed at the read
ing of the presidents suggestion that
no legislation except in relation to the
tarin should be considered at this Sos,
sion.
At 1916 the Senate adjourned until
Friday. /,
When the presidents message was
read In the House. the republicans broke
out into loud and prolonged applause.
The message referred to the committee
on ways and means.
The message follows:
ITO the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatfves: / have convened congress
IN this extra session in order to enable
u to give consideration to revision of
the Dingley tariff act. Conditions af-
fecting the production, manufacture,
n business generally have so changed
IN n last IL years as to require read
lustment and revision of import duties
imposed by that act. More than this.
the present tariff act, with other sources
income enough to pay the authorize
ment OF expenditure. By July l next
excess expenses over tho receipts for
current fiscal year will equal 500, OO0,-
900.
Country Expects 1t.
THE successful party in the late
election is pledged to revision of the
tariff. The country, business commu-
nifty especially, expects 1t. The PROS
pect of change in the rates in import
duties always causes suspension or halt
In business, because of uncertainty az
to the changes to be made and their
effect.
TT is therefore Of the highest inn
portance that the new bill should he
agreed upon, passed with as much
speed as possible consistent With it's
due n thorough consideration. For
these reasons l have deemed the pres
ant to be extraordinary occasion with
In the meaning Of the constitution,
justifying, requiring the calling of the
extra session.
Refers to Address.
I'm my inaugural address I stated
in a summary way the principles upon
which, on my judgment, revision of the
tariff oul proceed, indicated at
least one new source of revenue which
might be properly resorted to in order
to avoid future deficit. 1t is not neces-
sary for me to repeat what l then said.
II venture to suggest that the vital
business interests OF the COUNTRY re-
auire the attention of in this
bession to be chiefly devoted to the O
alteration of the new tariff bill and
that the less time be given to other
subjects OF legislation in this session,

PASTEURIZATI0N
POINTS
BY E. c. Meyers.

With increased shipping facilities
and the enormous annual increase in
the extension of the hand separator
system, it has been made possible for
one creamery to draw it's Supply of
cream from larger territory than
usual, and of this the Capitalization
idea is the natural outgrowth. These
new circumstances tend to make the
condition of hand separated cream I'M
desirable. The cream usually has de-
yeloped quite a degree of acidity: alb.
normal lamentations are sometimes
at an advanced stage of development;
some cans of cream are well coagu-
lated when they reach the creamery, or
part of the cream may have absorbed
a decided tin-can flavor from a rusty
can. Besides this some cream is de.
liVered testing perhaps only 20 per
cent. butter fat, while other cream may
test 40 per cent. Then, too, the age
of the cream may vary from one to
four or even six days The effect that
such cream has on the average quality
OF creamery butter it is needless for
me to point out
We must realize, however, that pas
teurization is not a panacea for all
these evils, but rather a corrective and
preventive, because it practically de-
stroys all fermentation in the cream.
All hand separator cream should there
fore be pasteurized at about 1S5 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and held at this
temperature for at least two minutes.
My experience during the past two
years in handling hand separator
cream and whole milk cream at the
University of Wisconsin creamery
seems to indicate that the poorer the
quality of the cream the higher should
be the temperature in pasteurizing
this cream, even if 100 degrees
Fahrenheit is reached. At this tenn
perature there is danger if the cream
is very rich of producing a somewhat
dry butter. If the heat is raised
above this point it may produce a
somewhat brittle butter.

X from Pollution.

archaeological or chemical contamina-
ton to the neglect Of questions regard
ing proper location, abundance and
COMMUNICATIONS which cannot
be safely ignored
To guard against the pollution of
wells the location is of Importance.
Where it is possible the ground should
slope away naturally on all sides and
the pump should be on OPP of mound
which should be well sodded or ce-
mented all around. Sources of domes-
tic or other pollution should be sepa-
rated from the well by an imperyious
layer below ground to avoid the
danger of pollution from seepage.
The ground Immediately around the
well should be protected from animals
by fence or otherwise. The shaft of
the well should be thoroughly tight,
and for this reason the use of terra.
Gotta tiles or metal pipe for the shaft
Is preferable to walling } with bricks
and mortar. In any event the space
Immediately around the shaft proper
should be puddled with clay or ce-
ment, or. as advised by Koch, have the
upper part packed with sand. The
use of open wells, or even the use of
chain pumps. is not to be recon-
mended, since they are decidedly I'M
sanitary.
Every precaution should be taken
to prevent the contents of a eesspool
from soaking into the soil, for even if
the cesspool is at a distance from the
well the ground between may eventu.
ally become saturated aad fail to act
as filter. AS already stated. the
presence of an impervious stratum be-
tween the wall and the cesspool is a
good protection. but where such a
stratum does not exist the eesspool

should be made water-tight. The crude
methods of sewage disposal still quite
commonly in vogue in the country are
a continual menace to the water sup
ply.
One of our illustrations shows a
we'll which is imperfectly guarded
against pollution and with very slo
venly surroundings. The situation Of
the well In this case is good. 1t stands
at a considerably higher level than
the barnyard, which is below and at
the left, and is separated from the
well by ledge of rock, while the do
nestle sources of pollution lie to the
right and are several hundred feet
away. The well is only about seven
feet deep, but it is bored into the
solid rock, and in spite of it's want of
depth there would appear no good
reason why it should not be made to
fulfill the requirements of a sanitary
supply yet when it was inspected it
was found to have a loose coping and
there was no provision against pollu-
ton due to stray animals.
One of our Illustrations shows a well
bored into solid rock, and although it
Is only 16 feet deep it would appear
to be well protected from any source
Of contamination. Besides the protec-
ton afforded by the natural rock. the
curb and cover are tight and, more
over, the cover has a slant so as to
shed water.
Where there is no spring and where
for any reason it is not feasible to
sink a we'll it becomes necessary to
resort to cisterns, and if these are
properly constructed and operated
they may be made to fulfill all sani-
tary requirements. The walls should
be water-tight, of course, both to pre-
vent water leaking out and to guard
against pollution from without. The
best cisterns are those c. structed
with two chambers separated by por-
Gus brick partition through which the
water is filtered. The water from the
roof is made to run into one chamber,
and is pumped out of the other after
passing through the partition. The
rain pipe from the roof should be pro-
vided with an arrangement for pre-
venting the first water which falls in
time of rain from running into the els
tern, since the first water after dry
weather may become polluted with
dust or bird droppings on the roof
The roof from which the water is
caught should be preferably of slate.
Water from wooden shingles is often
tainted.

IN FOOTSTEPS OF THE GREAT.
Kindly Encouragement for Young Men
Working Their Way.

Two young college men were indus

they were able to supplement their
studies at the technical school by prac-

July afternoons were long, and the
work at times very slack, so in one
OF these intervals of half-idleness the
young men determined to turn to and
give the laboratory in which they
worked a thorough cleaning. 1t was

The Importance of sanitary water
supply both for drinking and for pur-
poses of cleanliness has long been
recognized, and the improvement in
the health Of communities which has
followed the introduction Of abundant
supplies of pure water bears testimony
the the Importance of every precaution
In this direction. While the value of
a sanitary water supply for cities and
towns has thus been demonstrated,
too little consideration has been given
to the water supplies for farms. Con-
taminated water used in connection
with farm products may affect not
only the farmer himself and his i'm

use his products. All the products Of

one drop of polluted water contains
enough bacteria for the contamination
of almost any amount of milk.
The three factors necessary for a
sanitary water supply are purity,
abundance and convenience. The most
important of these factors and that
which has received most consideration
as rule is purity. People naturally
prefer clean, pure water, and they are
generally educated up to the dangers
arising from polluted water as a posi-
BILE source of infection. Hygienic ex-
