CITY STORING UP GRAVEL
Material Will Be Used on the Roads
During the Summer.

The city has commenced to haul
gravel and pile it for use next sum-
mer. This is splendid time to haul
it, and the quality OF the gravel was
never better. The city started to
store it on the sand well lot, but
the neighbOrs objected that it was
not slightly, SO it is storing it at the
corner of Front and Main streets, on
the railway lots. This is the short
the teams can make more trips a
day. The city intends to haul a lot
of it, which. is a wise move. The
dirt roads in the city ought to all
be graveled.

This is. a problem presented to the
state superintendent by a young
schoolma'am in the western part OF
the state, and she will get n reply
tomorrow from the capitol, saying it
all depends on her contract.
In the usual Minnesota teachers
contract there is a blank left for
agreement on the fire question. II
the teacher has agreed to build fires
she cannot compel the, school board
to pay for the service, but if the
board has agreed to furnish heat
and service, they must do so.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-04-28

Some events of frst-class importance,
falling in the category that Wall street
describes as disturbing" happened in
rather quck succession this spring.
First, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in sweeping decision denied
the petition of the railroads to raise
freight rates. Then the president called
an extra session Of congress, whose
chief business would obviously be tariff
revision, with the house in control OF
the Democrats and the genuing tariff
reforming surgsnts holding the balance
of power in the senate. Next, without
warning, the greatest movement OF
troops OF troops ever undertaken in a
time of peach was ordered, the objective
being the Mexican border, next door
to an Instruction. The supreme court
then upheld the corporation tax, putting
corporate incomes at the mercy OF the
government. Any one of these things
in other times might have precipitated
disagreeable business disturbances.
Moreover, there was every reason to
expect that the momentous trust decls-
ions-long-distance anticipation OF
which had Isentss.,shivers up and down
financial spines for months-would be
handed down any Monday.
Yet there was scarcely ripple upon
the business surface. At the end OF
this succession of events besiness had
the same steady pace as at the begin
ming. The reason? Speculation was
at minimum. For months the Stock
Exchange had been humdrum, with
prices about the same day after day
and the volume of trading very small.
The matches were lighted but, as there
was no powder lying about, they simply
sputtered out. Saturday Evening Post.

Even Good Money Tainted

Civilization certainly has come to a
pretty pass when perfectly good money
must be regarded with a measure of
suspicion, even of repugnance, means
the Seattle Times. According to sta
tistically-inclined bacteriologist every
piece Of paper money now in circulation
is infected with countless thousands,
even millions, of tiny organisms.
When a man walks home Saturday
night with his weeks wages in his
pocket, he is the innocent cause of in
Producing into the family circle legion
of bacteria. If he drops dollar bill
into the collection plate on Sunday he
is presenting the minister with an army
of microscopic life forms. If he lights
his cigar with ten-dollar bill he Gre
ates a holocaust compared with which
the fatality list of the while Civil war
suffers in comparison.
Think of $4,000, 900 bacteria on a
single bill !-creatures so small that to
them grain of dust would stack up as
imposing as Mount Rainier to humans
That is the number the scientific man
found on one bill picked up in New
York. Here is a greater population
than that of New York state, even q
election day, when cemeteries vote.
There is no hope held out to suffer
ing and apprehensive humanity through
the investigations. Cleanliness, that
sits on the right hand of goodness, is
no ward against contamination. The
searcher found there is no connection
between the number of bacteria and
the condition of the bill. The cleanest-
looking one he was able to find 405, 900
bacteria nestled on its surface, while
the dirtiest had only $4,000. The
only explanation of this latter condition
is that the unfortunate bill was in the
possession Of such superlatively dirty
man that even the bacteria became dis
couraged and moved away.
However, there are two consultations
to citizens resident on the Pacific coast.
The first is that guinea pigs inccu-
lated with the germs waxed fat and
prosperous, and repeated experiments
proved that the bacteria are harmless.
The second is that we use gold on the
Coast, and don't need to worry about
this latest danger OF tainted money.
