THE UNION LIGHT, HEAT
e. POWER co.

Perhaps there is no business in
North Dakota employing skilled labor
which gives more consideration to
them than the above company. This
company is almost beyond a reason
able doubt the largest concern OF its
kind outside of the Twin Cities in this
great Northwest of ours. This policy
has been the foundation stone OF the
unqualified success which has followed
since the very inception OF business
formation. This company along with
many others in the Northwest is
owned and operated by the trm OF
A. NJ Byllesby & Co., of Chicago.
1t is one of the most progressive
plants in the central west, operating
as it does an electric lighting plant
having a capacity of 5000 horse
power and with 5000 customers in
Fargo and Dilworth; coal gas plant,
capacity 100000 cubic feet per day,
supplying 1900 customers in Fargo
and central heating plant covering
the downtown banks, city hall and
business blocks throughout. The
company owns and operates the Fargo
& Moorhead street railway SYSTEM
having sixteen miles of electrically
operated line between Fargo, Moor
head and Dilworth. 1t is equipped
with forty cars, which are run on
time schedule of twenty-four minutes,
in Fargo, on the looplines in each di
rection giving practically twelve
minute service, while the Moor head
schedule is fifteen minutes, with hour
ly service between Fargo and Dill
worth via Moorhead. The company
has inaugurated a system of furnish
ing electrical power for operating sep
arators for threshing and also for
other farm uses in the rural districts,
connecting up their lines with the
rural lines, making a great saving in
furnishing electric motor power over
that of coal, gasoline and OIL The
manager of the business, NJ L. Hib-
bard, came here in 1911, and has SO
managed the company's affairs as to
meet all the demands of the public
and at the same time producing divi-
dends for the Union Light, Heat and
Power Company, and for this reason
has proved himself a big asset to
Fargo and Moorheads upbuilding.
The personnel of those having charge
of the different phases of the work,
is as follows: C.. P. Brown, general
superintendent of street railway; of
the Union Light, Heat and Power: L.
C. Topping, chief engineer; L. L.
Schooley, superintendent electric de-
partment; E. E. Harnish, superinten-
dent gas department.; J. C. Lund, sup
erintendent gas works; A. L. Kippels,
accountant; w. P. Chesnut, manager
business department. 1t is both the
spoken and unspoken opinion of the
public that this company is laboring
to give the best possible service and
at the same time leave nothing undone
in courtesy and appreciation of the
efforts of those who work for it.

The modest report of the results of

reminder that this procedure of the

BAC7ERA.IN THE AIR

To the air has long been attributed
a subtle potency to incite disease
when suitable conditions prevail. One
need not go back far in history to
reach the days when 'night-air' and
"sewer-air" were reared as the bear
ers Of indefinable dangers to health.
The discovery OF the role OF micro
organisms in the transmission OF dis
ease has largely changed this attitude.
IL Is true that air from certain locali-
ties. such as soils or sewers. may con-
tain an admixture of gaseous impuri-
tes-carbon monoxid and dioxid,
marsh gas an hydrogen sulphid-
which are not wholesome to the organ
ISM But these admixtures are, in all
except the most unusual circumstan-
ces, so small in amount as TO have
little If any harmful significance for
health. The organic or soil impuri-
ties of the air give more cause for
alarm, for they include the living bac-
terra. In sewerair the proportion of
HETEROGENEOUS is usually less than
that OF streets and houses. and they
are usually harmless species. The
movement OF air in sewers Is rather
SLOW, so b a abundant opportunity is
afforded for the suspended PARTICLES.
including the living agents, to become
deposited on the moist surfaces. The
gaseous components of the air are of
secondary moment. There is a grow
ing conviction, however, that in the
majority off cases OF so-called air
borne" disease 1t is not the participate
constituents of the atmosphere that
are directly responsible for the trans
mission of disease. Suspended partic-
les. including bacteria, may of course,
be sprayed about by the acts of cough
ing and sneezing and thus aid in the
dissemination of diseases, particular
~ those of the respiratory tract. But
as a rule it appears that the diseases
conveyed through the air are carried
through the agency OF insects acting
as vectors or as host for the infective
parasites. In many hospitals, there
fore, the "air-borne" diseases are now
treated side by side inthe same ward
without fear of greater transmission
than il they were isolated in separate
wards. Attention is centered on the
possibility OF the carrier agency, ami
mate or inanimate. rather than on the
atmosphere as such. as n recent
speaker expressed a phase of il, the
problem is one of wire screens more
than of ventilation. Ii is, however, of
interest to learn something regarding
the prevalence of bacteria in the air
of different regions. A recent system
attic study by the New York State
Commission on Ventilation showed
clearly that the air of occupied spaces
such as factories. schools and offices
contains more bacteria than that of
open spaces in the city or country.
1t is significant that the increase in
"steptococci manlfests itself promptly
In h occupied spaces. Whereas in
country or city air there are rarely
more than teno of this group of micro
organisms per hundred cubic feet of
air, the number may rise to more than
