complete PLANT WORK SOON
improvements at Municipal Power
Coming Three Weeks.

The installation Of the new equip
ment for the city pumping station
will be completed during the next
three weeks. according to H. g. Lyk-
kne, city engineer. r..
The 300-horse power. water heater.
and the oil separator have already
been installed and work is to be COM
menced Immediately on the founda-
tons Of the two new boilers. which
have arrived in the city.
When completed the new equipment
will cost $4,000. but. according to Mr..
Lykken. the saving to the city which
will be effected by it's use will more
than counterbalance this outlay.
One Of the chief features of the new
plant is the oil separator. BY means
OF this device the oil which is inject
ed into the steam to lubricate the
cylinder valves will be removed be-
fore the steam is condensed and re-
turned to the boilers as water.
This was not the case in the past,
and the oil was found to be very de.
structive to the boiler Innings.

Stutsman, Griggs and Nelson counties.
Most Of the farmers will have a
fairly good CROP" said MI. Murphy

Of course, and in some parts Of the

badly streaked, but generally speak
ing the crop will be as good as the
average. ,. t..' s

There appears to be plenty Of avail

that many laborers r demanding

Sputtering Electric Wires Are
Torn Down By Girl; Probate
Records of the County Saved

Quick action by Miss Selma Hassell
this morning prevented a fire which
threatened to destroy all the records
in the vault Of the county court in
the Security Bank building.
A short circuit had been formed by
one Of the electric light wires leading
into the vault. A binding nash Of
light attracted the attention Of Miss
Hassell, who acts as deputy for her
father. Judge Hassell, and she rushed
to the vault.
Shooting Vicious Sparks.
She found thatsone of the light wires
had In some. way become loosened
from its socket, and was shooting out
vicious sparks. The insulation on one
Of the other wires vas burning. and
sparks were falling In dangerous prox-
unity to the record cases.
Miss Hassell seized the live wire
by the insulated part. and although
1t continued to spit sparks viciously.
succeeded in tearing it loose. and
hurled 1t out Of the vault.
Water Ends Danger.
A pail Of water was brought by the
elevator boy with which Miss Hassell
extinguished the h"~ning rubber in
sulation, thus putting an end to all
danger Of the fire spreading.
The records contained in the vault
included the lists of marriages, births,
deaths. ETC., and II they had been
burned it would have been impossible
to replace them.
The vault in which they are kept is
fire proof, but in a case like that this
morning when the fire started inside
OF the vault. the records would un-
doubleday have e destroyed had it
not been for Miss Hassell's presence
Of mind, and bravery.

OXYGEN NOT NECESSARY.
New York Press.O

There is more than a widely diff
fused belief, indeed there is a scien-
tific hypothesis or two, based upon
the delusion, if it may be so called,
that life cannot exist where there is
no oxygen. Verify. a recent scientific
treatise has been written to show
that there must be oxygen 10000
LEAGUES under the sea. because living
creatures are found in the sea ooze
of the greatest depth. Yet it is not
necessary. Even savants Of the la
boratory must admit the indubitahle
a number of living things that can
live. flourish and multiply over the
face Of the earth above and the wa
ters beneath, that so far as the alb
sence of an atmosphere of oxygen is
concerned the moon may be fully in
habited. Indeed. one of the latest
arguments advanced by astronomers
to show the probability that the moon
is inhabited is the lack of the need
by certain living beings Of oxyg. l..
Thus the creature that causes lock-
jaw. q parasite micro-organism known
as B. tetanus. dies in an atmosphere
of oxygen. 1t will live in most any
other kind of atmosphere. but seems
to breathe" oxygen much as YOU
would such poisonous fumes as sui
phur gas, coal gas or other fatal
gases.
Those organisms that cannot abide
oxygen are known as a~naerobes. so
that IL the moon or any other celes-
tial body without an atmosphere such
as we have is inhabited at all, it
would be correct to extend this term

CONTEST BONDING Law
Possibility of Suit Against State In
~ yolvtng co4lssitut1onality of
7 New Measure.

The bonding companies doing bust
ness in North Dakota, both the local
and the foreign. are likely to institute
legal proceedings against Insurance
Commissioner Taylor. before he can
inaugurate the state bonding depart
ment provided for under a law enact
ed at the last legislative session.
The contention Is made that the
plan is unconstitutional, because the
state is prohibited in express terms
from going into business under its
own name. The bonding companies
assert it would be unfair for the state
to enter into competition.
The law was passed when the bond
ing companies suddenly increased
their rates from so to 200 per cent
the first Of the year. The law pro-
vides for the establishment of the
bonding department by Jan. /. 1914.
in order to be prepared to furnish
bonds for the next set of county and
state officials. 1t is probable that
legal action will be commenced to
restrain the commissioner.
North Dakota is the first state to
attempt a bonding department.
