the state board of corrections and

hopeful Of bringing it considerably be-
low that figure, and to that end are
economizing in every direction-"turn-
ing every corner under" as one Of
them expressed it, 1t Is claimed the
trouble may be laid at the door Of the
last legislature, which made the ap
preparation on the basis Of the then
existing number of patients (about
$4,000, making an allowance of $3.25 per
week for each. AS a matter of fact,
the insane population has increased in
the past and continues to increase at
the rate of per cent per annum, COM
pounded, so that the appropriation
would naturally fall short by the cost
of maintaining 400 patients at S9.25. In
other words, this increase was not TAX
en- into consideration, hence the short
age In the fund.
The four principal items of current
expense are fuel, food, clothing and
salaries of attendants. The fuel for the
three hospitals, at st. Peter, Rochester
and Fergus Falls, foots up $4,000 an
nually; the food costs II cents per day
per patient, or approximately $125,0O0;
the clothing will be something over rs
cents a week per patient, and the sal
airy list Is about $4,000 per month-St.
Peter, IS, 400; Rochester, $500, and Fer
gus Falls, $4,000.
1t Is to cope with this problem that
the board is holding a special meeting
at the Ryan hotel, converting yester-
day. The prime object is to establish a
uniform scale of salaries, and so adjust
it that it will be brought within the
present limit and yet provide for the

PUTS THIS SYSTEM INTO oPE-
oRATION.
LOADS ENTIRELY BY WEIGHT.
NUMBER OF CARS NOT CONSIDERED
= IN MAKING UP A
TRAIN.
ENGINES MADE TO DO MORE WORK
ST. Paul Lines Are Maintaining
Rates.

Freight men in this section are much
interested in the action Of the Chi
cago g Northwestern road, which, af-
ter years investigation, has put in
operation the tonnage haul system. The
Chicago & Northwestern made all sorts
OF tests and prepared all manner Of
tables before the new plan was final
~ adopted. The average haul per train
has been increased from lac to 205 tons.
Engines which formerly did so per cent
of the work for which they were rated,
under the new plan will do from 60
to IS per cent. 1t was found that
trains which had been made up for
merly of twenty cars might just as well
have been made to include thirty. IN
der the old plan a train of twenty cars
might represent a. dead weight Of 80
tons or Of 400 tons. Under the new
system the weight Is the only thing
considered. The tests enabled the
freight men to figure the capacity of
an engine down to the proportion of a
single car. Every possible advantage
is taken in the method of loading, and
in other directions to get the utmost
tonnage haul in every case.
This general subject has attracted
the attention Of traffic men as we'll as
operating men in various railroads,
and by abandoning the practice Of
making up freight trains according to
the number Of cars and substituting a
tonnage basis 1t has been found posi-
BILE to Increase the tonnage haul of a
single engine more than rs per cent.
The result of this method has been to
reduce the operating expense by many
thousands Of dollars and in other ways
increasing the operating efficiency Of
the roads.
Where trains were made up by the
rule-of-thumb plan of SO many cars
regardless Of weight or contents it was
impossible to get any satisfactory re-
suits in operating. An engineer would
start out one day with twenty-five
cars and make a flying trip. Three
days or a week later he would make
the same run with the same number
Of cars and find himself stalled at the
foot Of every hill, only accomplishing
the run after all kinds of delays, and
in twice the time occupied the first
day. 1t was some time before the
railroads found out where the trouble
lay, and now several roads other than
the Chicago & Northwestern are in
vestigating the new system. The Hill
nofs Central has just completed a
number Of exhaustive test, and other
lines interested In the plan are the
Milwaukee, the Chicago Great Western
and the Union Pacific c- \
