boards chamber, with the warden, the
prison agent, and Deputy Warden
Lemons counsel, who did not remain,
however.
The session lasted until noon, and
while the official statement Of the pro-
ceedings given to the press at the close
was that three prisoners had been pa
rolled, it was noticeable that Gen. Nor
IRISH, of Red Wing, threw himself wear
lily on the sofa in the Warden's office
as the august assemblage dispersed, Or
to speak more exactly, broke ranks to
reform in the dining room. The other
members were less fatigued. Mr.. Dunn,
of EyOta, was Quiescent, but sedate;
Mr.. Hall, Of Duluth, came out of the
long meeting imperturbable as ever, and
with a number of barbed shafts of sar-
casm still concealed in his culver;
Chairman O'Brien reported a failure Of
appetite, but maintained a hopeful
spirit while Mr.. Temple, from Fart
bault county, came out of the ordeal
unscathed, and trimming over with an
irrepressible sense of appreciation Of
the ludicrous element in the solemnly
secret conclaVe of the modern prison
ring"
Almost simultaneously with the ris-
ing of the star chamber body from its
discussion of it's momentous mysteries,
the fog lifted, and in an hour, as the
relieved conferrees hied them to the
departing trains, the ST. CrOiX valley
again shone glorious in the midday
sun, which lighted up the hooks and
corners Of the Jail yard as if in token
of the searchlight brilliancy which
Gov. CIough said he wanted given to
the coming investigation of the charges
against prison attaches.
The official statement, as given out
by the board, was as follows:
A meeting of the board of prison
managers was held at the prison and
very little business came up for con-
sideration, aside from auditing &C
counts. Only three paroles were grant
ed. The statement of the miscellaneous
cash receipts of the prison for October
was presented, showing a total of $45,-
261. Irvine collections for the month
amounted to $40, 426, and $3,045 was re-
cetVed from the Union Shoe and Leath
er company for convict labor, part pay
of night Waterman, etc. A report was
also presented to the board showing
the amount of Irvine collections since
the close Of the Irvine season, Sept. l.
Collections up to date, amount to $121,-
623, and the bulk of this amount has
been received since the 1st of Novem-
Der. The outstanding notes amount to

MUST HURRY THE DITCH.
Drainage Commission Serves Notice
on Tardy Contractors.

on Tardy Contractors.
The state drainage commission met
at the state capitol yesterday.
The commission acted on the nom
completion Of the Middle river ditch
in Marshall county, The commission
will require the contractors to at once
put on a force 0of men, and make a
ditch of ten feet, at regular grade, to
the river. If this is not done, the COM
mission will do it, and charge up the
cost to the contractors, Kennedy &
Mcdonnell.
George E. Hallberg, who represented
the secretary OF state in the recent
junket Of Inspection; tells of some pc
culiar features of the country they
visited.
Middle river, in Marshall county, runs
forty miles, and at it's mouth it is
about forty feet wide and six feet
deep; If it may be called mouth" for
there Is no natural outlet; the water
just stops running and at this terminus
Is large bog. A ditch five miles long
is being constructed to convey the
water into Snake river and thence into
Red river
The Atherton ditch In Wilkin county,
is even more peculiar. There is a slope
of country there of eight feet to the
mile, for a distance of five miles
through which the ditch was made.
Instead of the water running off, as
one would naturally suppose, it collects
under the sod and the ground is literal
ly quaking, trembling mass. In
places the water will throw up a mound
Of this surface soil and the water will
gush out of the top of it, While sound
ings show these springs to be hundreds
of feet deep. According to Mr.. Hall
berg, they must have a bit of Yellow
stone park in Wilkin county. There is
very swift current of water in the
Anterior ditch.
The Mansion ditch, not far from
there, is two miles long and has been
completed.
