DEBUT OF WHITE
WINGS IN FARGO
SYSTEM FINALLY lNAuGuRATED
BY STREET CLEANING DEPART
MENT - PAVED DISTRICT UP
OWN WILL BE CLEANED BY
"DovEs" IN THE FUTURE.

Fargo can now boast of having in
augurated the white wing system of
cleaning the streets in the business
district. James Bird. a veteran of the
street department, has been elected en-
gineer of the white wing force and has
the distinction OF having pushed the
first cart.
While there was but one man em-
ployed in the work this morning, 1t
is calculated that in the course of
very short time that a force would be
employed which will be able to cover
the district in a satisfactory manner
and keep the streets reasonably free
from dirt and rubbish. In other cities
tons of dirt are hauled from the streets
every day, which is otherwise allowed
to accumulate and be circulated in the
air after the street sweeper has made
the rounds.
Cans mounted on two wheeled affairs
form the combination, while a small
sized scraper or shovel and broom Is
provided to collect the. dirt. city Of
f1cials are of the opinion that the sys-
tenn will prove very satisfactory.

not claim to be demi-god, superior
to criticism but simply an ordinary,

placed in a certain public position
through more or less accidental cir
cumstances. AS al public official his
public acts are open to public COM

propounds a statement, he lis no more
above fair criticisms than any other
official OF less exalted position. BY
his silly attack on this paper and
childish assumption OF contempt, the
editor of The News and Times Simply
brands himself as a. lick spittle and a
toady, one OF those nasty little bacilli
which are continually boiling on the
surface of the political cess pool which

& Pleased with the progress which has
been made, and confident that
briquettes will soon be made from

the market as commercial enterprise,
HI. e. Soule, vice president of the Ma
tional Briquetting Co of Minneapolis,
arrived in the city yesterday. On this
trip he has vest pocket model of the
machine with which he hopes to ac-
complish wonders in tf4e new field.
High pressure on superheated coal
Is the theory workeG on and 1t Is
claimed that experiments. which, are
now being carried on Is reducing the
amount of binder. with the prospects
that none will be used.
The process consists of forcing the
material to be briquetted through
tapered tubes by plungers. The grad
uation is sixteenth of an inch to
a tube twelve inches long. 1t requires
pressure of 1000 pounds to the
square inch to force the material
through these tubes.
Experimests are now being conduct
ed by the engineering department OF
the A. C. along these same lines, with
tubes furnished by Mr. Soule for the
purpose of making a fair test.
