coIIapsibIe Tubes for Butter.

indian Trade Journal, Government
Official Organ, Calcutta: A good deal
of interest is being taken in the deveI-
opment Of the dairy industry il parts
of India n a certain amount of cap
ital has been sunk in it. One of the
difficulties in this trade arises from the
fact that butter deteriorates quickly
when it is exposed to the air at Indian
temperatures, and is so fluid that
packing is not easy. When a tin is
opened the whole of the butter deter
iorates rapidly. Having regard to the
comparative fiuidity of butter at In
dian temperatures it seems possible
that it might be packed in collapsible
tubes Of tin with screw nozzles similar
to those in which printing ink. oil
paints and certain ointments are sold.
From tubes of this kind as much but
ter as is required at a time might be
expressed. The director general of
commercial intelligence of India has
been in correspondence with the max
ers of machinery for the manufacture
and filling of tubes. and n of them
states that such tubes, if containing
butter, would have to be made of pure
tin, the cas- being that the volatile
fatty acids present would act upon
lead OF copper and form poisonous
and unsightly compounds. In like
manner such parts of the filing ma
chimes as are now made Of copper
would have to be made of porcelain.

In Leicester, in this district, all the
tramway routes are watered by three
electrically driven tramway tanks
holding 1900 gallons each. One-half
of the road is covered at a time. The
remaining paved roads are sprinkled
with ordinary watering carts and on
macadamized roads calcium chloride
either in granular form or dissolved
in water tanks, is used. When neces-
sary tar and wood paved roads are
Sprinkled with granite crushed to
hree-eighths of an inch, or crushed
pit gravel of a similar size.
Havre. D.,
The city of Havre has one automo-
bile watering cart constructed by De
Dion, BOuton q Co., at a cost of $3.50,
and an automobile sweeper made by
the same firm, costing $3,0S8. Expert
mentS are being made with these be-
fore giving up the old watering carts
and sweepers drawn by horses. The
watering cart sprays on either side of
the street from W. apertures at each
side instead Of sprinkling the water
through a series of small holes. The
sweeper is similar to those used in
many American cities, with a roller
brush placed ~diagonally and rotating
as the cart progresses.
At ~Cherbourg, in this consular dis
triCt, the cleaning of the streets for
merly had to be done by the n or
tenants of houses, who were obliged to
sweep, OF have swept at their expense,
the sidewalk and street in front of
their residences or stores. On Jan. 1,
1893, the city undertook to perform
the work, granting to the farmers of
the vicinity the privilege of purchas-
ing at a low price the refuse of the
streets. The receipts from this source
were about equal to the cost of the
sweeping.
At the end of 1902 the contracts
with the farmers were not renewed, as
the latter, instead of offering to pay
for the mud and refuse, demanded a
certain sum for removing it. The city
then made a contract of ten years
duration with the firm of Bretel Bros,
of Valognes, by which the latter
agreed to do the cleaning and remove
all refuse for $10,50 This contract
is on the point, of expiring. One of
the conditions of renewal is that the
inhabitants must have proper recepta-
Giles for garbage and that the contrac-
tor must see to the proper emptying
of the same instead of dealing with
mere heaps of refuse. While such a
change would not seem to impose a
much greater degree of labor upon the
contractor, it will nevertheless require
more men and a different equipment,
and it is estimated that the cost TO
the city will be between $17,370 and
$40, 800.
The sweeping is done between 4 and
Z a. M, partly by machines drawn by
horses n partly by hand. The ma
chimes were manufactured by the ii n
of Durey-Sohy, of Paris.

BAD fire At GLYNDON
Originated on Third Floor of Hotel
Bulldins-EdItOr Osborne Suffer-
ed Serious Loss.

The village of Glyndon suffered a
serious loss by fire yesterday afternoon
about 3 o'clock. The losers are:
City hotel.
News office, owned by L. Osborne.
Livery barn.
F~arsdale's garage.
The fire originated on the third floor
of the City hotel and it rapidly spread
to other buildings and during it's pro-
gress it jumped two blocks. How the
blaze started is not known. e. o.
Erickson of the hotel estimates his loss
at $4,000 with an insurance of $1,000 on
the building and $4OO on contents. He
was in Fargo when the fire started.
A d~eporable loss Is the one sustained
by Editor Luther Osborne who loses
his cylinder press installed about a
year ago. He saved the engines, a job
press and some type in forms. He car
ried no insurance. His paper this week
VIII be printed by Messrs. Titus &
Richards of The MOorhead News office
who promptly offered all the assist
ance Mr.. Osborne required for the is
suanCe of his paper this week.
There was no insurance on the other
buildings burned. a house in the path
of the fire, which was saved, was in
sured.
The fire fighting equipments were
very limited and all sorts of emergen-
cies were resorted to in the effort to
keep the fire from spreading-wet
blankets, bucket brigades, etc. Assist
ance was asked from Fargo, but the
water supply gave out so a start was
not made.
A great deal of sympathy is express
ed for the venerable editor of The
News, Luther Osborne, who is badly
crippled, as he invested practically all
of his resources in the purchase of a
new press a year ago after years of
saving for that purpose.

Inspector in Town.

An inspector from the dairy and food
department of the state was recogniz-
ed on the streets Of Moorhead this
morning after he had stepped from a
street car from Fargo. The %conclu-
sion was that he was doing some
smelling in connection with the new
cigarette law. If he called on any Of
the officials they were silent as oysters
on the matter. At the city clerks Of
flee it was learned that no applications
for licenses had been filed up to an
early hour this afternoon.
The necessary licenses permitting
the sale of the coffin nails are to be
issued by the municipal authorities
and as the city council does not meet
until next Tuesday evening no sales
can be made until after the action by
the city council. Mayor Beck has
announced that the law against the
selling of tobacco in any form to
minors will be strictly enforced.

Moorhead Won at Breckenridge.

In a debate between the high
schools of Breckenridge and MOorhead
at Breckenridge, last Saturday, the
Moorhead school was represented by
Esther Dahl, Ernest Nelson and Nor
timore WIKI and they had choice of
sides and selected the affirmative. The
subject was. Resolved, That the Unit
ed States Grand Independence to the
Philippine Islands Within Twenty
Years. The board of judges awarded
the laurels to the trio of speakers from
Moorhead and it is said the verdict
was an unquestioned one.
The local team was accompanied by
Superintendent Edwards who said
that he never witnessed a finer spirit
in a school debate than that which eX-
listed in the battle of words at Breck-
enridge. Further Mr.. Edwards said:
Esther Dahl caught the crowd and
the audience, which naturally was
hostile, %applauded her roundly. She
was simply great. The entire team did
finely and there was never a doubt in
my mind as to the winners; but when
Mortimer WIKI, speaking rapidly,
closed the debate for Moorhead, he
had nailed every argument that his
opponents advanced and made victory
a. foregone conclusion. l consider the
debate one of the best that Moorhead
has engaged in"

FIRM TO
Plan Big SCHOOL
HAx5Y & GILLESPIE WILL DRAW
PLANS FOR THE $4,000 COUNTY
AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL TO BE
ERECTED AT PARK RIVER BY
WALSH COUNTY.

w. d. Gillespie has Just returned
from Park River, where he met with
the trustees of the Walsh County Ag-
r%icultural and Training school, who
were in Monday Inc Tuesday for the
purpose of selecting architects to pre-
pare the plans for. the proposed build
ing.
A committe, consisting OF E. Smith
Peterson, John A. Harris inc Super
intendent Aygaren of the city high
school was appointed at the last meet
inf to take a trip down into. Wisconsin
and examine some of the schools there
that were in operation as the North
Dakota law is largely a copy Of the
Wisconsin law. -- .-r
They came back thoroughly enthus-
ed over the possibilities of the school
and stated that every school they Wis
tied was a decided success from the
start and filled to. capacity with pupils.
They also gave 1t as their unquaTi-
ned opinion that the amount appropri-
ated for the school in Walsh county
was wholly inadequate and further
stated that they ought to have at least
$4,000 available for the school.
A number of the Park River business
men. were called in and after a thor
ough discussion came forward and
guaranteed to the board of trustees
that they would become responsible for
the raising of $1,000, making 50, 900
available at once so that the board
could proceed.
In view of the above action by the
business interests, the board proceeded
to act accordingly and the local firm of
architects, Haxby & Gillespie, were en-
gagged to prepare plans to meet the re-
quirements of the board.
The building will be about 90x50, two
story and full basement, thoroughly
modern in all it's appointments, with
plumbing, heating, fan ventilation,
vacuum cleaner, etc.
The site is very beautiful, adjoining
Park River on the west, formerly the
old race track, containing eighteen
acres with fine drainage. 1t is hoped
to start the building by une /.
