Booth residence situated some little dis
lance from headquarters is now the
main hospital building, and the green
house near by has also been fitted up
for hospital purposes. The erection of
PERMANENT BUILDINGS
on the peninsula will begin shortly.
This year two cottages of brick, stone
faced, will be erected each capable of
accommodating about forty inmates.
When an additional appropriation is Sc
cured from the legislature a hospital
building will be added. These build
ings will all be heated by steam and
furnished with modern convenienceS.
The location of the Soldiers home is
likely to lead to what has been the
dream of many-a state park which
shall perserve the beauty of the falls of
Minnehaha and its picturesque sur
roundimgS; not only that, but it will be-
come the connecting link of the two
grand systems of parks and parkWays
of Minneapolis and st. Paul. The board
of park commissioners of Minneapolis
have practically determined, it can be
said, upon extending boulevard from
Lakes Calhoun and Harriet by the way
of Lake Amelia and Rice lake
along Minnehaha creek, coming
out at the temporary grounds
where the home is now located. 1t is
proposed to purchase the four or five
together with the buildings. and then
admission to the peninsula or soldiers
home site proper can then easily be
gained by means of a bridge over
Minnehaha Creek. The park commits
sion is also considering the project of
laying a boulevard along the banks of
the Mississippi, from the peninsula to
South Memphis, connecting with the
boulevard system at Riverside park.
A somewhat similar plan to thus con-
meet the Twin City Park systems is be-
ing agitated by the citizens of st. Paul,
and it is proposed to purchase a
TRACT OF 200 ACRES
opposite the home for park, provided
river to the peninsula. 1t will be re-
membered the state some time since in
Stituted proceedings through commits
siOns to condemn 100 acres of land at
Minnehaha. This tract took in the
fifty-two acres since purchased by the
city of Minneapolis and presented to
the state for soldiers home site. This
leaves but a trifle over 100 acres of the
land condemned yet to be paid for by
the state. which comprises a strip lying
between the Chicago, Milwaukee u st.
Paul railroad and the Mississippi river
and extending from the Fort Smelling
reservation north of and including Min
nehaha Falls.
If these various projects are carried
out, as they doubtless will be, state
park comprising $50 acres will be
secured which will include the falls of
Minnehaha, the Soldiers home, and one
of the most picturesque and beautiful
spots in the country as we'll.

ONLY A TEMPORARY HOME.
While it is understood that the build
ings are bat temporary affairs, it is
generally supposed that they are located
on the soldiers home site. The site
purchased by the city of Minneapolis
and given to the state consists, how
ever, of the peninsula formed by Min
nehaha creek and the Mississippi river,
and the present grounds, comprising
but four acres. have only been leased
until June, 1889, pending the erection of
buildings upon the site proper. These
temporary grounds embrace what was
formerly called The Booth Summer
Garden.
The building now occupied as head
quarter was four years ago a hotel, con-

HARNESS WAGES.
A Firm Corrects the Trades AS
SeinhlY'S Assertion.

A Firm COrrectS the Trades AS
sembly's Assertion.
The firm of S. B. Loye & Sons, har
ness makers, object to the Trades and
Labor assembly's statements in regard
to harness making. Their employees
sign statement as follows:
About Feb. "a we discovered that the
st. Paul harness manufacturers were
having team harness built for S6.15.
while we were paying 81. Any person
posted in this business knows that there
is not over 10 per cent profit on team
harness. Take IS cents Off and you
would have about per cent. The COM
petition in jobbing this class of harness
is very sharp between st. Paul and Min
neapoliS dealers, and if st. Paul can dis
count us Sc cents per harness. we will
necessarily have to take a back seat and
let st. Paul do the jObbing in this line.
We consulted Louis Laramee, whose
name you had as Malloy & Loramee,
and on Mr.. Laramee's suggestion he
and myself went to st. Paul and found
the facts as stated, that st. Paul was
paying S6.15 only. Mr.. Laramee and
ourselves then dropped our price to
$3.50 or 35 cents in advance of st. Paul's
price, with the understanding that with
our men who were engaged with st.
Paul in getting up bill of prices be-
tween st. Paul and Minneapolis, that
as soon as such bill was forthcoming
manufacturers would. The article re-
ferred to states that the standing price
for team harness is IS. have been in
the harness business for over thirty
years, and never in that time have l
ever paid over 81 for this grade of work.
With reference to improved machinery
for. making team harness, would
sayWe have all the machinery for such
work that there is in any shop in the
state, and more than some of the st.
Paul shops in question. We are ready
and willing to pay as much as either of
the leading shops in st. Paul, namely,
Charles Friend or the Konantz SaddIery
company, of that city.
We, the employees of S. B. Loye 81
Sons, believe the above to be a fair
statement of the facts as they exist, and
are satisfied with the way S. B. Loye IL
Sons are treating us at present.
This is signed by the foreman and
half dozen employees of the firm.
