The work Of this department. is con
aned almost solely to the 6 atherilg and
oompilirg Of ttAtissics relating to ouf
81 PRODUCTIONS and resources. Many thou
sand copies Of pamphlets, ether pnb'i
cations and valuable irfJrmation have
been disseminated by the commissioner
and his deputy during the w.
years past, aud OF these
probably the most important
and beneficial WIS the brochure
containing letters from farmers OF the
state giving their condition upon ar
rival in Dakota and sho wing their ad
var cement The commissioner believes
many additional copies of this pamphlet
could now be distributed 10 advantage

HOSPITAL o INSANE.
The report Ct the tru' tees and other
, feers OF this institution presents y
very gratifying O. ndition OF at irs, as
to able management and satisfaction,
results attained. 1t is important how
ever. that due attention be paid to TIT
re recommendations of these tM,ers. IS
peoi Ally that portion of the report cAli
ing for needed improvements aud *
tended quarters The report shows a
very high percentage of cures unoer
careful scientif, treatment, by its
+ficient superintendent and his com
petent and faithful assistants, placing
this hospital for unfortunatss in the
front rsnk among oh Ell states OF the
union and making the,ruly . credit to
North D kots. II it proportionate in
crease Of patients at this hospital con-
,inues in the future as in the psss, the
additional buildings called for will be
absolutely necessary in order to house
the :arge number of patients. aud
would, therefore, particularly direct
your attention to tue report of The
truetees and other eff ,ers OF the hospi-
tai for insane.
Tue special appro ration to improve
and perfect the water supply ct the hos.
pltal proved not only ade quate to &C.
oomplish the purposs for which it was
set aside, but there will be found q
credit to this fund The artesian we'll,
which had ,ased to a,w, has not only
been improved, osus;ug it to supply the
demands of the hospital, bat the addi
tional we'll there has been PLACID in re-.
pair. to be availabls in emergency
practically insuriug q safe water tupply
in the future. The expenditure OF this
appropriation has been jadici ,us anc
economical. The residue could be ex.
pence in supplying fire protection tc
tho hospital, bat q the appropriation
was made subjsot to my advice md con
sent, l did not deem it proper to ex
pend the remainder for this purpose
bat I COZ slider it essential that the state
throw around tbs unfortunates at this
institution all the protection possible
The history OF other states and 81 nilal
ssylums warrants this.
