g from Hammond, East Chicago.
Whiting mi Indiana Harbor. Waters
in certain sections of the south end of
the lake are polluted according to the
direction of the wind. When the wind
is from the east the
water reaches as far north as Sixty
eighth street. 1t is not purified in a
flow of five miles. The typhoid death
rate in the places mentioned is high.
Bad water in the lake off the south end
of the city sometimes reaches out as
far as the two mile crib. 1t never has
reached the four mile crib.
City's Typhoid Rate Low.
Chicago's death rate from typhoid is
very low. and with the present water
system the pollution of waters is prob
ably not doing much damage.
The shore waters of the ake are
made filthy by all the towns from
Waukegan to Evanston, and are
sources of danger. According to the
statement of the health commissioner
the typhoid death rate in Waukegan is
four times greater than that of Chi
cago.
Fifty health commissioners and sanf-
tary experts were present at the meet
ing yesterday and from these was chos-
en- an executive committee empowered
to urge certain remedial legislation
upon the governing bodies of four
states.
The possibility of drawing the pol
luted water away from the south end
of the lake by aid of a branch canal
was suggested following the appoint
ment of the executive committee as
follows: Richard G.. Hall, president
Chicago Association of Commences; Da-
vid Fl. Jackson, mayor of Lake Forest;
A. J. Horlick. mayor of Racine; DR.. q
f. Bading. health commissioner Of
Milwaukee; DR.. T. B. TempIin health
commissioner of Gary: DR.. f. w. Shum-
way. chairman Michigan state board of
health, Lansing. and DR.. w. D. Weis.
health commissioner of Hammond.
May Provide Heavy Fines.
1t was pointed out that the con-
struction Of another canal for draininge
purposes would meet with consider
able opposition. The only other solu-
ton of the problem was declared to he
the enactment of legislation bv Michi-
gan, Indiana. Illinois and wisconsin
fixing heavy fines for pollution Of the
shore waters of the lake.
The officers elected yesterday were.

dents, II. e. Barnard, Indianapolis. Ind

TENANTS LOST FOR LOCATIONS

The statement of Jacob Rimbach
that he would build a fine business
block at the corner of Holman street
and Rimbach avenue providing William
Il. Taft was elected president. which
was stamped as a falsehood by the
democratic papers in the last cam
paign, was proven to be correct when
the Arm of Sbragia & Bardelli. Morris
Dobson and the other of the
buildings on this property were recent
~ Informed that they would have to
find another location after March 81.
Mr.. Rimbach will build either a TWO
or a three-story building on this splen-
did corner, and all of the main floor
will be occupied by the Lion store.
The second and third floors will he
used for office rooms or NAV be
equipped as club-rooms providing some

Don't Know Where They'll 60.
The men who are now renting the
wooden structures, which are now on
this property. say they do not know
where they will go and again the prob
lem of securing a desirable location
"a OAt ~ L40AAAAAAO10 . Du5lnGSS streets
will have to be solved by a number of
Hammond merchants.
The increased floor space allotted to
the Lion store will make it one of the
largest n most attractive department
stores in northern Indiana. 1t is un-
derstood that the furniture store is to
remain where it is and the new move
means that Kaufman & Wolf expect
to enlarge their present business con-
siderably.
The scarcity of business locations
on Holman street was never more ap-
parent than it is now. Four business
men who are now located in the frame
buildings owned by Jacob Rimbach at
the corner of Holman street and Rim
bach avenue will be compelled to move
in the spring.
Can't Find Sites.
These are Sbragia & Bardellf. Morris
Dobson, Dysart & Shaw and the Ham
mond Art store. The necessity for
their moving will make four other
business locations necessary and where
they will be found is a question.
When the Lion store is finally located
In the extension on Holman street IT
will have over 900 feet of frontage.
1t will be the largest store in northern
Indiana. The basement will be utilized
and the whole store will be remodeled
and improved until it will be as attrac-
tive an emporium as there is in this
vicinity.

HOW PROHIBITION WORKS.
A Minnesota Observer Tells the
Truth Regarding North Dakota's
Appetite Law.

A special correspondent of the St.
Paul Dispatch, writing from Fargo
under date of Aug. 2Sd, presents
some interesting figures regarding
the amount of money expended by
North Dakotans in one year for
Moorhead booze. The article is
given in full below:
During the last year the prohibit
ton law OF North Dakota has
brought 81, 100000 into the Golfers
of wholesale liquor-dealers of Moor
head, the Minnesota town just across
the Red river from Fargo. These
figures are computed from actual
bookaccounts of sales, and made
public by the wholesale liquor-men,
who, being on license soil them
selves, do not hesitate to give pub
licity to the volume of their bust
ness. The North Dakota authorities
cannot touch them; and. when ar
rests are made in North Dakota for
'pigging, the sufferers are not
these wholesale dealers. but the re-
tailers who have bought from them.
Prohibition AS "Teaser. .
When you tell a man he can't
have any booze, then he is sure to
demand it and make hunt for it, ("
is the way the largest wholesale
beer-handler in Moorhead put it;
"and that is why Moorhead is ship
ping liquor into North Dakota in
train-loads.'
Statistics compiled during visits
to the offices of the ten wholesale
beer handlers at Moorhead show
that 1000 car loads, each worth
$500, is a conservative estimate of
the Moorhead beer-shipments into
North Dakota in the last twelve
months. The beer goes to practic-
ally every town in the so called
dry state: the railroads shipping
the goods without question, al
though it is generally sent to some
fictitious name, the party receiving
the shipment adopting that name
for the time being and then forget
Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1909-09-02

tans visiting there. This has
brought Moorhead's tax-rate down
to 81 mills. while in Fargo the rate
is more than As mills.
Nor do these figures really tell the
whole story; for during each Of the
last three years Fargo has found it
necessary to largely increase its as
sessments to keep within the legal
limit of 80 mills and yet raise need
ed funds. Fargo would like to know
how to even up" with Moorhead,
but up to date has not discovered
how to do it. Fargo merchants,
however, reconcile themselves by
explaining that the Moorhead sa-
looms doubtless attract many people

ting it. As result, each man IN
North Dakota who receives such I
shipments may pass under more
different names in a year $ time than
the leopard has spots.

Sugar barrels, very dry outside,
but very wet inside. figure proml-
nently in the Moorhead beer-shlp-
ments to dry North Dakota.
Each barrel of sugar contains
seventy-two bottles of beer. Prac-
tically all of the shipments are
bottled goods. One Moorhead
general agency of a big brewing
company claims to have shipped 1913
carloads of sugar into North Da-
kota since the first of the year, and
he asserts that the business is con-
stantly increasing.
These shipments land in so-called
"pool-hall" and malt rooms, the
proprietors of which are, of course,
liable to arrest as "piggers at any
time after receipt of the goods,
which fact is the least of the
troubles of the wholesale dealer
from whom the sugar" has been
purchased, and who sold it on e. 0.

Although beer makes up the bulk
of the business of the liquor houses
of Moorhead, strong liquor is also a
big item. Whisky bottles of various
sizes mostly small-are packed in
small boxes as merchandise" and
sent by express, and also c. o. d.
One Moorhead wholesale merchan-
disc" house is said to have done a
North Dakota business of 100000
in the last year. The total value of
this line of business from the town
reaches probably 100000: an esti-
mate made bya wet-goods dealer. :"
Fargo .Pays the Freight"
There is an important local ques-
ton now arising between Fargo and
Moorhead, as result of the liquor
business just across the bridge in
the Minnesota town. Moorhead is
hardly large enough to support more
than three or four saloons, but it
has forty-seven of the places. These
are supported by the constant string
of visitors from Fargo, who have
nearly worn the plank through on
the bridge boardwalk with. the con-
slant pattering of shoe-leather. The
saloon-license fee in Moorhead is a
thousand dollars a year, giving the
town an annual income from its
saloons of $4,000 = practically a
contribution from the pocket-books
