BACTERIA IN MILK

Washington, Oct. S.-After careful
examination of some OF the milk Of
fered for sale in Washington, health
officer Woodward announces that 1t
contains 35.000,00O germs to the teae-
spoonful. As he gives 1000, 900 az the
maximum number tolerated in a like
quantity by any other large city in
the country. he insists that the health
department is justified in forbidding
the sale OF such polluted milk. That
received here from New York and
Pennsylvania, he declares is properly
packed and cool enough to prevent the
increase of bacteria.

Boston Wool.

Boston.-With little business being
transacted in the local wool market,
interest is turning more and more to-
ward the new clip now being shorn.
Growers in most sections of the West
refuse to grant concessions, and
while dealers here are watching
deyelopments very few have
bought any large amounts. Re.
ports from the West indicate that
some Idaho has sold for 151ac in the
grease and Ohio at 23c to 25c is being
paid for medium wools. The feature
of the local market is the demand for
New Zealand cross breeds. while 9th
or lines of foreign wool are also NOV
ing. Pulled wool is dull.

New York.-The visible supply OF

.1OS.OOO bushels Corn, 5,224.OOO

various woods for the usual materials will be
noted at each stage of manufacture.
Both soda and suphate processes of treat
ment of Che chips will be used and the lab
oratory will make its own sulphite liquor in
a vat adjacent to the digestors, In which the
wood is cooked by steam until the lignin Is
all dissolved and only the celulose left.
blast Of high-pressure steam drives the chips
against the side of the digestor. further d.
viding the cellulose fibers and then the whole
mass is pumped out by centrifugal pump
into a tank in which 1t is stirred until the
fiber is still further broken up. Over and
over 1t is through "rifler" troughs and
over screens where suction draws out the
fiber to be used and leaves behind the small
chips, splinters and other waste
When the liquor has been washed out OF
1t in a washer driven by an electric motor Ia
contrivance much like the housewives wash
ing machine) 1t is put into press and the
water is squeezed out of 1T. Such of the pulp
blocks from the press as are not wanted I'M
mediately are then in convenient form to store
away shelves.
After going through the beating engines
the refined pulp is run on to the screens of the
paper machine and taken up by felt rollers,
from which 1t goes to wooden rollers and then
between metal rollers to the steamheated
drying drums, where the wet sheet is run back
and forth until it is ready for the final smooth
finish of the hot steel calendering rolls. Any
grade of paper can be made on this machine,
from the toughest brown paper to fine cor
respondence paper. in running sheet 15
inches wide, and even water-marking device
is attached so that the impression can be
made on the wet sheet before 1t goes through
the rollers and on to the winding drum at the
end.
How to make timber last longer by protect
ing 1t with preservatives from the various
borers and fungous growths which attack
wood will be another important problem to
which considerable time and laboratory space
to be given.
Beneath the building is great pit, heated
by steam to temperature most favorable to
rot and there in separate glass compartments
all about the walls are to be samples OF tim
bers with the various fungous growths and
animal and insect enemies of the wood at

wood will be closely watched and compared
with that of the same pests upon samples of
the wood treated with different preservatives.

2. That is, the session of next winter will be the "short session" with which each congress closes Should congress remain in session until late in the summer of this year. and pass the ssatehrod bill as late as July 15, say, it would be practically impossible for the state to get in uutll the year 1912. The constitution failing to reach congress in time for action be- fore the adjournment on March 2, 1911, there would have to be a wait of nine months, or until the converting of the Sixty-sccond congress in Decemcer, 1911. As suming prompt action by cong ress in December, 1911, all sub sequent. procedure here-the state election and so forth pro- bably would be completed by April l, 1912.
 It is evident, therefore, that practically a year will be gained if the bill can be passed before the first of July. this year.
 If the Beyeridge bill passes there will be no territorial or county elections this fall, the various county officers holding oveer.
 Neither is it the intention of the bill that there shall be a territorial legislature next wint- CT, but a correction in one parti- cular will be necessary in oroer to make clear provision on this question. The bill provides that no session of the territorial leg islative assembly shall be held in 1010." Obviously it was in- tended to read, 1911" as there would be no session of the legis- lature this year in any event.

Not ''ChaOs."

In the various defenSeS Of the House rules that have been made public the point is consistently made that the insurgents are trying to bring about Legislative anarchy" Stringent rules are necessary, it is urged, in a large body like the House in order to transact business. Chaos would follow any relaxing of these rules.
 Such a statement of conditions n the House is wholly mislead- ing. The insurgents are not a lot of scatter-brain agitators. They haven't the slightest intention of modifying the rules so as to in- volve the House in. confusion. Their object is not to make. it easier to pass private bills in which individual members are interested. They. aren't animat- ed by personal grievances; be- cause of the suppression of pen sion bills by the speaker. What they are trying to accomplish is to make it possible for the House to act on the important neasur- es which under the old regime have been suppressed by the speaker. The bulk of the bills in- !. .Crodnced must always take their chances, under more or less arbi- trary arrangements. The insur- gents are content to let this con- dition continue. The big bills are what they are aiming at.
 It is the function of the rules committee to intervene at crises to enable the House to express it's will. For instance, debate on the Tariff Bill might have cont inued indefinitely had not the committee on rules brought in a resolution limiting amendments and cutting off debate. Just here the importance of the personnel of the committee becomes appa- rent. The cannon committee lim- ited the number of amendments | to what the speaker desired. The House would have voted to red uce to the duty on gloves and
 hosiery had it had the chance,
 but the special rule from the committee pre- vented. A really
 representative rules committee
 would have allowed a latitude
 of amendment that would have
 improved the Tariff Bill material
 ly.
 l It has been the habit of the
 speaker to use the rule committee to prevent the House from voting
