Injected Cattle
Especial Dispatch to The Call

DAVIS. April s.-Experiments con-
Quoted over a period of three years in
every county OF California by members
OF the various county milk commissions
and the state farm milk instructors
have demonstrated conclusively, accord
ing TO reports made here today, that
bovine tuberculosis can not be detected
BY q test Of the blood.
The reports came from every county
OF the state and were presented by rep
resentatives Of the county milk COM
missions in second annual session at
the university farm here this afternoon.
Delegates were present from 4e coun-
ties It had only been expected that %
would be represented. Almost all the
large dairies of the state were repre-
sented also and exhibits were presented
by practically every county inspector as
well as by representatives of the large
dairy interests which live up to sanitary
requirements
TEARS THEORY TO SHREDS
The blood test theory which was dis
proved according TO the reports made
today was advanced a few years ago
by Doctor Won Behring, recognized as
an authority on bovine tuberculosis.
He declared that tests of the blood
would show whether tuberculosis was
present in the animal
To establish the theory or disprove it
the state milk commissioners decided
upon a series of tests. These were
begun three years ago. Cattle in dairies
In all sections of the state and under
all sorts Of conditions were examined.
The reports made today showed that
in not single case examined during
the three years, and there were more
than 500 tests made was il possible 10
detect tuberculosis by an examination
OF the blood.
This is considered of the greatest i'm
portance not only to the dairy interests
of the state but TO the general public,
because it means that other means of
making tests must be established.
Urge BETTER SANITATION
Today's meeting was without doubt
the most successful of the kind ever
held in this state Every county that
has milk commissions and every large
dairy interest Of the state were repre-
scented.
The matter Of better sanitation al
Oairles and a better and purer milk for
distribution TO consumers of the state

YAKIMA LOSES ROAD
North Coast Says it Will Not Build
to That City.

North Yakima, Wash, Nov. "a
c. +. Wood, general right of way
agent for the North Coast railroad,
this morning declared that owing to
the action of the city council on the
railroad franchise, his road would
now alter its plans TO exclude this
city from its system, claiming that
the council had shown by it's action
that it did not desire to allow the
North Coast to enter the city.
The action of the council in turn
ing down the franchise is meeting
with a howl of protest from the
farmers. who want a line to com
pete with the Northern Pacific, but
the city in general approves of the
action.
The North Coast franchise, which
has been before the city council for
over two months, failed to pass the
body on its final. reading, losing the
necessary majority by one vote. The
vote of the council on the ordinance
resulted in four votes for its pass
age and three against it, five votes
being required to pass the franchise.
The passage of the franchise that
caused its defeat was a section con-
corning the liabilities to abutting
property owners fer damages caused
by construction of underground
crossings under the railroad right of
way. The railroad desired to have
the city pay the damage and the
council refused to shoulder that
amount on the city.
At conclusion of the third read
ing. c. l.. Wood. acting for the rail
road company, filed a motion asking
that tho application be withdrawn.
stating that the company would not
accept the franchise with the dam
age clause inserted. On the advice
of the city attorney, the motion was
not allowed and the franchise was
placed on its final passage. Council
men Shaw, Shorn, Smith and Carver
voted for the charter and Pease, Null
and Wenner cast their votes against

MOORHEAD not SCARED
Lowest Stage of Water on Record il
Red River But Supply Not in
Danger.

The stage of the water in the Red
river today was the lowest, on record.
The guage showed SO feet. On the
same date last year, July 21, the sTage
showed Sc feet. There was a slight
raise few days ago, but the stage
now, is lower than it was before the
raise.
The chief engineer at the Moorhead
Waterworks, said this afternoon that
while the stage of the water is get
ting TO be uncomfortably low there
is no immediate cause for ALARM. but
the public should realize the conditions
and not waste any water. At the
local intake pipe there has been an
average fall OF one inch a day since
last Saturday. At $3.50 this afternoon
the Moorhead intake pipe was 19k
inches under water.
The engineer at the Fargo water
station this afternoon says that the in
take pipe there is still under water.
but even If 1t were out that would not
necessarily be reason for alarm as the
water flows in by gravity, the supply
wen being much lower than the bed
or the river. 1t may be, If the fall con-
tlnues, that small dam might have
to be constructed to help out matters,
but what is required would be nothing
elaborate and merely something to pro-
vide for emergency,
