The usual grist Of bills was allowed,
after which DR.. Smyth, the commits
sioner of public health, appeared and
addressed the commission on the
needs of the health department.. He
stated that the condition of the city
hospital was very bad, that it needed
replastering, room or two added for
a kitchen and room for an attendant,
and that the building should be re-
arranged inside to better Accommodate
the patients. He thought this should
be sold and new location obtained
on water and sewer. He also stated
that here are now eight typhoid
fever cases in the city in four houses
and from three of the houses there
had been milk sold every day until he
stopped it, and he thought that the
city should appropriate $3.50, as asked
by the state university. the money
to be used for milk inspection. If
the city did this, the state would es-
tablish a branch of the state health
laboratory here, paying half the sal

was not present at the meeting.
Mr.. Jackson and the city engineer
reported verba4.y as to the results of

Mr.. Winterer of Valley City and Mr..

before the board relative to the crea-

would be willing to give up it's lease

STERLING.

Sterling came near being the scene
of bad fire Saturday morning. An
empty box car standing beside the
loading platform just west of the
Powers elevator, caught fire in some
way and burned itself and the plat
form up completely. There happened
to be no wind and with the aid of
workers was kept from catching the
elevator. 1t is supposed that hoboes
were smoking in the car and were
careless with the matches. If there
had been a strong wind from the
south, 1t would easily have been a
serious fire.

been obtained from houses where the

That milk Is frequently responsible
for the spread of typhoid fever, is be
ing more generally Recognized by
sanitary authorities. The United
States public health and marine ser
vice recently made an exhaustive re
port on 1.-THE Origin and Prevalence
Of Typhoid Fever in the District Of
Columbia" and stated: I'VE are con
WINGED that a vigorous campaign
against typhoid fever as contag
ious' disease, and the adoption OF
measures that would prevent the
spread of the infection in milk, would
eliminate the greater part Of typhoid
fever from the District of Columbia. .
The city of Bismarck is at present
without any safeguard in the matter
of supervision Of the milk supply.
There is now an opportunity to Sc
cure a competent milk inspector, who
would be Qualied to make chemical
and meteorological examinations, as
we'll as performing the other duties
required by the city ordinance.
1t has been impossible hitherto tC
provide efficient service for milk in
spection for less than 500 per month
but We can get a thoroughly qualified
man If the commission will make ar
appropriation of $3.50 per annum
This, of course, could not be done I'M
til the annual appropriation ordinance
is passed in September.
The service proposed would be rem
dered in connection with the branch
public health laboratory to be estab
lished in this city.
Apart from the moral obligation OF
every municipal government to pro
tect tehe health and lives of the citi
zens, there is also legal aspect tc
this matter. Judging from decisions
given by the courts at different times
and under somewhat similar condi
tions, to what exist in Bismarck
there appears to be little doubt but
that, in case of death or long contin
ued sickness from any disease that
could be reasonably attributed to in
lection from impure milk, the city
would be liable in damages for fail
ing to enforce the ordinance regulat
ing the milk supply.
I may say that the city of Grand
Forks pays the public health labora
tory for milk inspection, in that city
and in the city of Minot, where there
is a branch laboratory, pays half OF
the salary of the officer in charge fol
making regular examinations Of the
city water.

The board of city commissioners
met in regular session last evening,
Commissioner Lucas, acting president
OF the board, being In the chair. and
Commissioners Jackson and MarQuett
also present.
Messrs. Wachter and Burton pre-
scented a petition asking permission to
construct a stairway along the side
of the .Glitschka building on Fourth
street to reach proposed second
story to the building. The matter was
referred to Commissioner Marquett for
investigation and report at the next
meeting. a..
A petition from residents in the
Eeast end of the city asking for wa
ter main extension on Tenth street
from Rosser to Main street was pre-
scented, also that hydrant be placed
at Tenth and Broadway. After con-
siderable discussion the matter was
referred to Commissioner Lucas for
investigation and report. 1t seems
that according to the contract between
the city and the water company the
company is bound to construct main
anyway on this street, whether pc
tition is presented or not.
The appropriation ordinance was in
troduced and read the first time. The
total amount called for is S35,042.OO
some $4,000 larger than was estimated
by the city auditor, partly caused by
an increased appropriation for street
purposes Of $1,000 and by the interest
and sinking fund for the bond issue
for the new fire hall, amounting to
$1,000 in all.
The ordinance to issue bonds fol
$500 was brought up for it's second
reading and final passage, and having
been approved by the attorney gen
erals department, was passed with
out amendment. This calls for pay
ment of the bonds in three payments

SOME CITY IN WESTERN PART OF
STATE IS TO HAVE A
BRANCH.
Efforts Ought to Be Made to Bring the
Public Health Laboratory to the
Capital City.

Health Physician F. R. Smyth re-
Gently sent the following communica-
ton to the board Of city commission
ers relative to the establishment Of
a branch state public health labora-
tory in the Capital City. 1t is the in
tention of the University of North
Dakota to establish branch at some
point in the western part of the state
and several cities are anxious to get
it. The officials are anxious to place
it in the Capital City if possible as
they could open their Office at the
state capitol. The people of Bismarck
do not seem to realize, however, any
thing concerning it, and do not seem
to be making any effort to get 1t here,
so DR.. Smyth's letter to the city COM
mission is printed herewith in order
that residents of the city may be a
little better informed as to the ad-
vantages that may accrue to the city
from it's establishment here:
The Hon. Board and Members Of the
City Board of Commissioners, Bis
marck, N. D.
Gentlemen: There are at present
two cases of typhoid fever in the city
besides several suspicious cases, and
which are under observation. The
two cases, where the diagnosis has
been definitely established, occurred
in families that kept cows of their own
and sold milk to the public. One case
was in a house where we'll water was
used and one where they used city
water.
Last year, when We had more cases
of typhoid fever than for at least ten
years before, the first cases did not
appear until about the middle Of Sep
TENDER. At that time the cases were
spread all over the city and it was
impossible to assign common cause
of infection. In several Of the cases,
however, it was found that milk had

AMID CRACK OF GUNS AND

Some Interesting Statistics Compiled
BY the County Auditors Office Re-
qarding Permits Issued.

Today is the opening day Of the
hunting season for chickens and ducks
and there was a general exodus of the
local nimrods from their chosen walks
of life this morning, and many feet
were directed countrywards in the
anxious endeavor to locate that cOvey

per-that has been watched so care
fully for the past few weeks.
Many licenses have been issued to
the Bismarck hunting fraternity. Yes
terday the county auditors office did
not do thing else las there was q
steady stream of permit seekers in
and out of the Office all day long
When eventide finally descended, and
Deputy Fogarty locked the vault, turn
ed out the light, and beat 1t home for
late supper, it was found that the
total number of licenses issued to
date was 331.
The last license issued last even
ing was to ]. A. Smith of the Trib-
une force. The youngest applicant
was Frank Jeffries, aged II. Uncle
George Watson, aged 81, was the old
est applicant and he says that he can
bring down the birds as we'll, if not
better. than great number of the
younger generation.
One nonresident license was issued,
and there was license issued to a
woman who claimed that her weight
was 240 pounds. 1t is stated by those
who know, however, that she ought to
tip the beam at still higher figures.
At any rate she was the heaviest per-
son to apply for hunting permit.
Some of the Bismarckers who have
been pestered for the past few days
by the hunting bee.' hied themselves
across the river and will hunt on the
other side. Some drove out into the
country and pitched their camps over
night so that they could be the first
on the scene In the morning. Buggies
and carriages, single and double rigs,
and men on foot and on horseback,
were journeying east and west, north
and south, at an early hour this morn

waiting for their safe return. Many
citizens are eagerly awaiting the
promised gift of a brace of birds from
their nimrod friends. And many a
one is going to be disappointed. Oh,

State WANTS LEASE.
ON SIBLEY island
SECRETARY ARMSTRONG OF THE
GAME AND FISH COMMISSION
IN CITY.
Appeared Before Board Of City Com.
missioners Last Evening - Would
Make Fine Park Out Of Island.

Secretary Armstrong of the state
game and fish commission, was in the
city attending the meeting of the dem
ocratic state central committee yester
day and met with the city commission
last night to get line on the situa
ton regarding Sibley Island, upon
which the city holds long lease. 1t
is the intention of the game commits
sion if it can get the city to give up
the lease, to make game preserve OF
the island. There are large number
of deer and other wild animals on the
island at the present time, but If
something is not done to take care OF
them soon there will be nothing left
in the course of few years.
Mr.. Armstrong, in a conversation
with Tribune reporter, stated that
he had assurances that if the state
was to make a game preserve of the
land considerable federal aid could be
secured and he thought that the fact
that the fort was so close at hand
would make it easier to have the game
protected there as the soldiers could
be employed in patrolling the pre-.
serve if it was found necessary to go
to such lengths to make the place
safe resort for the protected wild
animals OF the state. -
He thinks it would be more of an at
traction for. visitors to the city of
Bismarck than if the city itself took
the matter in hand and attempted to
improve it. With the large variety
Of animals that would be placed on
the island and the protection that
would be given them, the island would
in the course of the next few years
become a sort of a big outdoor Zoo.
