Iliiinlieds ot communities hang in the ( lialitncQ and at any time may have an • i'i;kmie of typhoid lever stalking through their midst and decimating | ttii-ii nuinbeis. Hundreds. of the young j uu.i best lives of the commonwealth j r.t 1 annually sacrificed to the unsani- | Pity customs of BCwafta disposal. Poi j son material of human origin from j public and private institutions, sewers niitl privies are emptied into streams tit points but short distances above wa ter works intakes, and in a few hours j then ifter are delivered through the \va'"i pipes of public systems to many iiii.occnt and unsuspecting individuals, viiii ;cst secure in the belief that the, public authorities, having in charge j the . rnishing of drinking water, and' who are responsible for the purity of thi» "iter thus supplied, are faithfully j perft. mill;; their obligations. Public and private corporations, however, evi.u when earnestly inclined, are often limited in their powers to j piev< at sewage contamination of the toure es of water supply. At' Lei years of affliction, and at a teniiic cost iu human life, it has finally j c.nwii d upon the people that a higher naih: rity than tbo municipality must | j .apple with the problem an i afford z rt mvdy. it. is, therefore, of inter, si to eveiy ciu/.eti of the commonwealth j '{;■ know about the work that Health- Commissioner Dixon is doing ta pre s iv ihe purity of the waters of the; s-',it»a iii fuMilltueut of the duty 'laid j upon liim by the act of April 22, 1305.

Further, where there are no sew T's, privies are almost universally lo cate.J on or mar the banks of natural won courses, which thus serve a# open sewers.

GOOD ROAD CONGRESS. Purpose and Features of the Interna tional Gathering at Paris. Colonel < harles S. P.romwell, ('lif ted l!i liarilMUl and William Pas have been appointed by President Roosevelt to rep re out the United States at the international road con gress to be hold in Paris during Octo ber. ltios. Xapoleon was a great advocate of road building, and since his . time Prance has spent between VMO.OOU,- 000 and $000,000,000 on her highways. The advent of the automobile has proved a serious menace to the sur face of the re-sis. and the purpose of tills e mgi -ss i; to hear opinions of expc:v> on the sub.iee:t and to con dense them i.:. i a pr s-,i. al idea of tit trea.intent and care of the surface of a road. This congress, to which the govern meats of the various nations have been officially invited to appoint rep rose.natives, will bo opened Oct. 11 and will be in session seven days. It : proposed during the life of the congress to give several festivals in Paris and excursions, one par ticularly to Nice, to enable the mem bers to visit especially fitted up road or roads in course of preparation. The United. States government h.n made several tests at Washington late ly, principally by taking photograph: of the clouds of dust raised by each automobile, going at different rate: of speed at from five to sixty miles ; ail hour. These (lust clouds were 'vcished In order to determine how iiiU'ii of the surface of tliej road was taken off by a mo l or going at an ex . oi-ssive rate of speed. This point and a number of others which have been ascertained by the government of the t'niteel States undoubtedly will be brought to the attention of the con gress by one of the American roprt seatatives, and it is more than likely .at Colonel Bromwcll will read a pa per. , SPLIT LOG DRAG EFFECTIVE. Heavy Rains Give Implement a Tint Chance to Prove Itself. | The heavy fall of"rain that the Red liver valley and northern Mlnnesol .experienced recently proves beyond doubt the extreme cUica y of the split ; les drag as a good roadmakor. The treats of Thief Pivor Falls and many : of the rural highways leading inlo the city have been consistently worked : v these drags for two years. The re sults were most apparent and strik ing the other week, just following the heavy rains. iu spite of the amount of trallis ili.it tl; • .reels of Thief ltiver Fails carry' daily, they are iu excellent con 1 lit ion, nicely graded and as hard as a 1 a veil street. The country roads that have been dragged for two years are lis pas. able ns during the driest sea son in summer, while the l'oaiis that have not been worked by the drags are inmost impassable. Novel Highway Proposed. A novel proposition has been i .ado for the beautiti-atiou of the highway let ween Thermal and Coachelhi. in ( aliforni.i, a distance of three miles. The waste waters from the Coachella ice plant are diverted along this high way nnel extend almost to Thermal be fore they are absorbed bv the soil, says the Los Angeles Times. The proposition is now made that fig tr . lie set along the highway.' on the water f:Stch, where they would be k.; ' -. r w lug by the waste water. Within a year these trees come into bearing, nr. ! the three mile highway, lined Wsh bearing fie trees, would not only be a most attractive drive, but tals'it tie i.e'.e (•> yield a profit for road lai pro\ ement.
