SEWER QUESTION.
The following editorial from
the Minneapolis Journal is a
timely one and is of peculiar in
terest to Bemidji just at this
time when the establishment of a
sewage system is contemplated:
What shall we do with the sew
age?
"This question is constantly
presenting itself to the citizens
of our state. The country is new
and prosperous, and as it pros
pers villages and cities spring
up -that 'soon demand public
water supplies in order that mod
ern conveniences may be used in
house construction. Under such
conditions the water tight cess
pool is no longer sufficient as a
means of caring for the house
sewage. The character of the
substitutes for the water tight
vault and cesspool are striking
and ingenious if not sanitary.
Our house owner will dig a cess
pool deep enough to reach a sand
or gravel stratum and will dis-
into
charge the house
this place with the intent that it
shall dispense itself through this
filtering media regardless of the
fact that wells supplying drink
ing water may be in close prox
imity and drawing their water
supply from the same sand or
gravel bed. The house sewage
thus passes almost directly from
the cesspool to the family well.
In other instances, house sewage
is discharged into deep abandoned
wells. It may thus go to a con
siderable depth depending en
tirely upon conditions. In this
way the wator from deep wells
may be rendered unfit for use
wells that but for this unnatural
pollution would be absolutely
safe as a source for drinking
water. Such pollution is known
to exist in several Minnesota
villages.
"Still another means of sew
age disposal is by discharging it
into streams or lakes. This is
considered by many as legiti
mate, the argument being that
streams are our natural sewers.
But are they? Streams in their
natural state carry pure water
from source to outlet, while
natural lakes fed by springs
contain as pure water as the
streams. If sewage is dis
charged into a stream, the same
is but an open sewer for all
points below the point of sewage
discharge. The old idea of self
purification of a stream does not
hold true when applied to bac
terial life.
A polluted lake is even worse
than a polluted stream, for in
time it becomes a veritable open
cesspool.
If sewage is discharged into
streams or lakes it becomes a
question of time only as to when
they will become public nuis
ances. *In many of the older
states they are such already. It
is often easier to prevent than to
correct an evil. Now is the time
for Minnesota to decide as to
whether it will prevent the evils
of stream and lake pollution, or
whether it will create evils for
future generations to worry over.
The smallar the stream the
greater the evils of pollution.
What is to be the future of
cities and villages in Minnesota?
Are they to be located on streams
serving as open sewers and lakes
which are but stagnant cesspools?
Are the fish, except of the scav
enger type, to become extinct?
Are the lives of human beings to
be constantly jeopardized? Such
seems to be the tendency at the i" present time. Cannot \a halt be
calledjbefore it is too late?"
I am a little short, but will sell
a few similes, metaphor and
hyperboles. Must raise sufficient
casli to put my samples before
the public. It costs money.
Will also sell veryReasonably one
copy of Prof. Boozlum's "Com
plete Ehetoric," one Webster's
Unabridged dictionary and a
book of synonyms. Have no
further use for them.

TROOP MUST DRILL.
South Dakota Men May Go to Fort
Snelling Soon.
Pierre, S. D., July 2 Capt. Logan
of Troop B, this city, has received
notification from the war department
that the troop is requested to take a
two-week course in drill either at
Fort Snelling or Fort Meade, with all
expenses paid, and the officers and
men to receive the same pay as regu
lar soldiers for the time they are out.
The matter of acceptance is yet unde
cided, but the selection of this troop
for such work shows the standing
which they secured at the recent en
campment of the state guard.
DIES^IN AWFUL AGONY.
Young Child Plays With Matches and
Burns to Death.
Plalnfleld, Wis., July 2.The little
two-year-old son of James Burr of
Coloma, this county, met a frightful
death a few days ago while playing
with matches. His mother was in the
garden and the child was alone in the
house with other children, and his ag
onizing cries of pain brought Mrs.
Burr into the house, only to find her
baby boy burning alive, his clothing
being one mass of flames. By the time
the fire was put out the child was so
severely burned that he died in hor-
ribLe agony in a few hours.

ENDS IN A DRAW.
Rattling Set-to Between Yanger and
Hanlon.
San Francisco, July 2.The Hanlon
Yanger go at Mechanics' pavilion last
night ended in a draw at the. end of
the twentieth round, Referee Eddie
Smith being unable to choose a win
ner between the game little feather
weights. The fight was one of the
fiercest seen in this city. Both men
fought with a vim from the tap of the
bell in the first round until the referee
gave his decision. So hot was the
fighting during the first stages of the
battle that it seemed to foretell a
quick victory for one or the other of
the contestants But neither was able
seriously to injure the other, and the
contest lasted the limit. In Eddie
Hanlon, Yanger met one of the great
est little fighters it ha.? been his lotto
go against, and* in Yanger, Hanlon
doubtless met the strongest little man
in the feather-weight division.

BEASTS BORN (N CAPTIVITY.
Those That First Set the Light In
Bristol, England, Ar the Best.
The birth of a litter of lions at
Haslemere Park, a private menagerie
in England, leads one of the English
papers to note a fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that is notori
ous among those who interest them
selves in the study of wild beasts in
captivity, this being that nearly all the
lion, tiger and leopard cubs born in
that country have a clei't palate, which
prevents them from being properly
suckled, and usually leads to their
premature death. But. beyond this, a
more astonishing fact stilland one
that also greatly puzzles biologistsis
that which determines that of all the
wild animals born in England those
born in Bristol are regarded as the
finest and as the most likely to live.
So well known is this to professional
Rhowmen and menagerie keepers that
"Bristol born" is a recognized brand in
title wild animal trado
