Butter. Cheese and Condensed Milk.
Butter was reported almost cXcluS-
lively as the product of this industry
at the last two Reports
were received from four cheese fac
tories in 1904 and from only n in
1909. No condensed milk establish
ment was reported at either census.
The growth of the butter and cheese
industry from 1904 to 1909 was mark
cd: the value of products increased
S3.1 per cent and the value added by
manufacture 64.3 per cent; the
growth was pronounced from
1899 to 1904, when the value of prod
utcs increased 36O.7 per cent and the
value added by manufacture 223.1 per
cent.

This industry. which was represent

manufacture OF saddlery. harness,

tent the work is done by the proprie-

such an industry as railroad repair
shops. which are operated by corpor-
ations. for which no proprietors are
reported. and whose general officials
are not, as a rule. assigned to the sup

In 1909 the state Of North Dakota
had 752 manufacturing establish
ments operating under the factory
system, which gave employment to an
average of 4,14S persons during the
year and paid out $2,416,000 in SAL
aries and wages. OF the persons en-
ployed, 2,789 were wage n
These establishments turned out prod
ucts to the value of s~19.13S.OOO. to

674,0O0 were consumed. Tho value
added by manufacture was thus $5,-
464,000. which figure best represents
the net wealth created by manufac-
turing operations during the year.
In general, this table brings out the
fact that the marked development in
the manufacturing industries Of
North Dakota which took place from
1899 to 1904 continued ever to IL
greater degree in the following five
years. From 1899 to 1904 the value
of products increased 63.2 per cent,
and from 1904 to 1909, S7.3 per cent.
1t would be improper to. infer that
manufactures increased in volume to
the full extent indicated by these fig
ures regarding values, since the in
rease shown is certainly due. in part,
to the increase that has taken place
in the price Of commodities.
1t is a matter of interest to note
that the percentages Of increase
shown for salaries and wages show a
greater proportionate increase thai
those for numbers Of salaried en-
ployes. and wage IL

AID FOR ALASKA Is URGED
American Mining Congress Recon-
nends Roads be Built

Spokane.-After outlining it's posi-
ton regarding legislation affecting the
mining industry, the American Mining
congress adjourned. Among the meas
ures that received the Endorsement of
the congress were a workmans com
pensation act and a thorough revis-
ion of the mining laws.
The congress determined to COM
mend to President-elect Woodrow Will
son the appointment of man from
the public land" states of the west
as secretary of the interior, and will
ask congress for appropriations to per
NIT investigation of cheap methods of
ore reduction by the bureau OF mines
and compiling and publishing of min
ing statistics by the census bureau.
Alaska conditions were given much
attention by the congress, resolutions
being adopted favoring laws that
would take the final determination of
Alaska land claims out of the hands
OF the department or the interior and
place them in the hands of the federal
courts. The congress also recon-
mended that at least two railroads be
built, either by the government or
with government aid, and that rail.
road building by private enterprise be
given government encouragement.
A measure giving claimants to pub
lie lands the right to appeal to the
courts from the ruling of the depart
ment of the interior in cases where
the government itself is an interested
party or when final ruling has been
delayed by the interior department
was given approval.

Many of the devices by which mill

The STRENGTH of a Child.

Medical men assert that. according
to well conducted tests. 1t is shown
that the newborn babe Is relatively
much stronger than full grown man.
The muscles of the forearm are aston
ishingly vigorous. A few hours after
birth a baby suspended by it's finger
to a stick or to the finger Of a grown
person can sustain itself in the air
for about ten seconds-in the case OF
particularly strong infants for so long
a period as thirty seconds.
When four days old an appreciate
increase in the infants strength may
be noticed, and the time during which
it can thus sustain itself is about two
and one-half minutes for SO per cent
Of babies. The maximum is attained
In two weeks. Few infants can hang
on for more than one and one-half
minutes. although it is of record that
one exceptionally developed child re-
NAMED suspended for two minutes and
thirty eight seconds by his right hand.
After that he continued to hang on
with his left for fifteen seconds longer.

X I'd Bridal Gowns.

It is of interest to note that the
choice OF white for wedding gowns is
comparatively of modern origin. The
Roman brides wore yellow. and in most
eastern countries pink is the bridal
color During the middle ages and in
the renaissance period brides wore
crimson to the exclusion of all other
colors. Most of the Plantagenet and
Tudor queens were married in that
vivid hue. which is still popular In
parts of Brittany. where the bride Is
usually dressed in crimson brocade. 1t
was Mary Stuart who first changed the
color of the bridal garments. At her
marriage with Francis |. of France in
1858 which took place not before the
altar. but before the great doors Of
Notre Dame, she was gOwned in white
brocade. with a train of pale blue Per
sian velvet six yards in length. This
innovation caused a great stir in the
fashionable world of that time. 1t was
not. however. until quite the end Of the
seventeenth century that pure white.
the color worn by royal widows, be-
came popular for bridal garments.

CATCHING a Wolf Alive.

One of the favorite sports of Polish
country gentleman is to capture wolf
alive. A wolf being driven into the
open, the we'll mounted horseman pur-
sues it. armed only with long whip
and some rope The wolf after time
tries to take rest. but the rider forces
it on with his whip till. after repeated
attempts at rest, it sinks exhausted.
The rider then springs from his horse,
Jumps astride the wolf and. holding 1t
by the ears, secures it with the rope.
Most men require the assistance of a
mounted companion. who ties the wolf
while the other holds its ears with
both hands. and in this way the cap
ture is comparatively easy. but to do
it single handed is a difficult feat.
Nasty bites and even dangerous
wounds result should the hunter have
miscalculated the strength of the ami
NAL. No one. however, is considered a
perfect sportsman till he has done this.

General Grouchy died May 20. 1847,

sponsible for the loss of Waterloo. A
marquis and a Norman. he yet cast in
his fortunes with the revolution. was
an object of suspicion in the terror, but

made a marshal. After Waterloo he
withdrew to Paris in good order and
proclaimed Napoleon II. Prescribed
by the restoration, he found refuge in
the United States. but returned to
France in 1921. He was restored to
his rank as marshal by Louis Philippe
and summoned to a seat in the cham

HANDLING THE
WATER SUPPLY
How Worcester Took Care Of
This Difficult Problem.
NO FILTRATION NECESSARY.
Massachusetts City, Although Forced
to Draw Its Water From Reservoirs
Exclusively, Is Never at Loss For
Pressure-Compulsor Meterins.

The city of Worcester. Mass. is an
inland community of 10000 inhabit-
ants. 1t has no large stream or lake
from which to draw water and is
therefore compelled to depend upon
reservoirs for the storage of water
gathered from small streams running
to the west of the city. These streams
and reservoirs are. fortunately, locat-
ed on high land, so the entire supply
is delivered in the city by gravity
The varying levels of the reservoirs
and of the city itself have made it nee
essary and very advantageous to de-
velop a high and low service system.
The high service system is supplied
by the waters of Kettle brook. i'm
pounded in four reservoirs having a
combined storage of 81 100000 gal
Ions and a watershed of 1923 acres.
and by the waters of Lynde brook. i'm
pounded in Lynde brook reservoir.
with storage capacity of 7OO,00O,0O0
gallons and watershed of 1870 acres.
The low service system consists of
two reservoirs located in the town of
Holden, about six miles northwest Of
Worcester. and having watershed of
3,34S acres. These two reservoirs are
called Tatnuck brook No. 1. with
storage capacity of 73O,OOO.OOO gallons.
and Tatnuck brook No 2. with a stor-
age capacity of 257,OOOOOO gallons
The waters of all the reservoirs are
distributed in the city without filtra
ton or treatment of any sort. and
Worcester has long been known as
having excellent clear and pure water.
The watersheds are sparSely inha bited.
and close and frequent inspection is
made of all the buildings where any
possible drainage can reach the sheds,
while the shores of the reservoirs are
kept clean and free from anything
which could contaminate the waters.
The meter system was adopted in
Worcester as soon after the system
was established as practicable. and the
use of meters has become almost uni
versal. Practically all of the places
unmetered at the present time are
where it would be difficult to set and
read meters and a few summer cot
tages.
The compulsory metering of private
fire lines was adopted in 1904 and has
resulted, together with the meter sys-
tenn, in keeping the daily rate per cap
tia down to siXty-four gallons a low
consumption for a city where such
large quantities of water are used for
manufacturing purposes.
The organization of the Worcester
water department consists of a water
committee Of seven members of the
city council to whom are referred all
legislative affairs Of the department.
The executive work of the department
is conducted by one commissioner. who
has charge of the reservoirs and ev-
erything pertaining to the supply. The
income division Of the department Is
in the control Of one registrar. who
handles all matters pertaining to rails
