project. When he parted from
the other members of the commit
tee at Chicago Tuesday evening
he is said to have been favorable to the
views of MesSrs. Hall and Lathrop. but
his back was evidently stiffened by
some one yesterday, and last evening he
declared that 1.-The report of the former
committee covered the case" AS Mr.
Temple was a member of this former
committee his action is not at all sur
prising, but his views are not those OF
the balance of the committee. Presi-
dent Hall, of the Farmers alliance, on
being interviewed by GLOBE reporter
last evening, was very unwilling
to say anything, for the reason that
it would hardly be proper to
talk before the resort had been agreed
upon.
"You can say, however," said Mr..
Hall, THAT we have made a careful in
veStigation of the matter and shall re-
port in favor of securing the necessary
machinery and establishing twine
manufactory at Saltwater. 1t will cost
about $4,000 and can be placed in the
buildings now owned by the state at
Saltwater. We find that good twine
can be made from either, fax, hemp OF
jute. Here is specimen of flax tWine
that will stand test of from 05 to l20
pounds and will run 700 feet to
the pound. The commission first
went to Paterson, n. j., and looked over
the twine factories located there. After
wards we proceeded to Valley Falls and
New York"
"In view of all the facts it is surpris-
ing how Mr.. Temple can maintain that
the Old report is all right" remarked a
prominent farmer at the Clarendon last
evening. ''He admits and knows that
the necessary machinery can be pro-
cured for about S25,0 900; the prison will
furnish the labor and the power. How
in the name of Heaven, then, can it
cost the immense sum stated by
the former report? The Minnesota
farmers do not propose to compete with
the twine trust. but they do propose
to insist upon trial being given their
