lngs there is used for the storage Of raw
material and the manufactured product
storage houses having the following ca
pacity: The first and largest is 100 by
$50 feet, the second 100 by 100 feet, all
one story buildings of ABOUT 20 feet in
height
In mill with a capacity of 10000
pounds per diem the storage capacity re-
quired will be given in building 100 by
200 feet.
The finishing machinery consists Of
four breakers-four spinners-siX draw
ing frames and FIVE Mnishers. In the
spinning room there are 2O8 spinners
and in addition thereto there are 1S
double spindle balling machines, one
rope machine and one bali shaper.
One hundred and forty prisoners are
used in the operation of this plant, the
work being supervised by one superin-
tendent and three assistant superin-
tendents.
In the operation Of said plant there is
used Of the raw material each day of
10 hours, OF pure MANILA, $4,000 pounds
Of 650-fOot twine to the pound or of sisal
$4,000 pounds of 500-foot twine to the
pound This material is obtained from
the Philippine Islands and Yucatan. 1t
is purchased by the prison authorities
from importers and brokers in New York
and Boston in the open market.
In the manufacture of twine a large
quantity OG cheap oil is required. We
find from the superintendent that there
is no waste Of raw material in the manu-
facture of twine; on the contrary there
is an increase in the weight Of the fin
ished product of from to IL per cent by
reason of the oil used.
The power used at Saltwater for their
plant is $50 horsepower. We find that
the cost of machinery for a plant Of the
size above mentioned will cost, including
betting and pulleys, the sum Of $4,000.
This does not include line shafting.
We find that for the selling Of the
manufactured product OF twine, sacks
The Advocate and news., 1899-02-15

The committees recommendations are
as follows:
'First--That plant for the manufac-
ture Of binding twine be established at
the Kansas penitentiary with a capacity
Of 10000 pounds daily, working ten
hours, or sufficient to employ seventy
five men.
"SecOnd-That an appropriation Of
$4,000 be made to purchase and put in
place machinery sufficient to manufac-
ture 10000 pounds of twine per diem
"Third-That an appropriation of
$150,O00 be made for revolving fund to
be used in the purchase of raw material
and for carrying the manufactured prod
uct.
''FOurth-That suitable legislation be
enacted for the purpose of carrying out
the recommendations Of the committee
herein expressed, and for protecting the
said revolving fund, and for the purpose
Of regulating the sale of the manufac-
tured product"
The following report was made to the
Legislature:
Report of Twine Committee.
The plant is located in a three-story
building 1870 feet in length and 20 feet
in width. The two lower floors and half
Of the third floor are occupied by ma
chinery.
The preparing machinery, which con-
sists of the heavier part required in the
manufacture Of twine, is located on the
ground floor. The second floor and half
Of the third floor is occupied by the
spinning machine and finishing machine.
In addition to the above named build
The Advocate and news., 1899-02-15

are used which can be bought in carload
lots at 61a cents apiece, the weight Of
which Is included in the sale Of twine.
From the refuse is manufactured rope
used in balling.
We find that this plant has proved a
success from the beginning, not only in
enabling the State to provide tWine for
the farmers at a greatly reduced cost
but at the same time 1t has been a direct
benefit to the tax payers Of the State in
that it has enabled the institution TO be-
come more than self-sustaining. The
minimum amount Of profit from the man
ufacture Of twine at the penitentiary at
Saltwater has been $4,000 per annum
The maximum amount Of $87, 900 for the
year 1898. The profits Ior 1897 were
$4S, 900.
Over and above this net yearly profit
there has been covered INTO the State
treasury for the care ana maintenance
Of the institution so cents per day for
each prisoner employed in the manufac-
ture Of twine.
In ascertaining the net profit realized
from the manufacture Of binding tWine,
there was charged of each year since
the hard fiber plant has been in opera
tiOn, fuel, light, foreman and expert help,
repairs and insurance as well as the per
diem earnings Of prisoners amount
ing to so cents per day as above stated.
One Of the principal Items of expense
in any manufacturing industry is that
OF fuel. At Saltwater the fuel is slabs,
or refuse from the saw mill This is fur
nished at cost Of $1.39 per cOrd-two
cords probably equal one ton Of coal.
This item therefore at the Kansas peni-
tentiary may be reduced to a minimum
because Of the use of slack, which is
produced in large quantities at the mine
and little used except at the penlten-
tiaTy.
We find that the product Of this plant
for the year 1898 was 100000 pounds,
and that with the additional machinery

WORKED IN TWO DEGREES
CHANGE AT THE COURT HOUSE.

New Officers and Commissioners Take
Charge of Affairs for Dawson County.
Nearly a complete change in the
officials of the county took place this
morning at the court house and in
all but three cases the republicans sup
planted the populists, Messrs. Winsor
and Browne holding over by re-elec tion,
and Mr.. Groenke being elected. The
retiring officers we're busy in turning
over their books and papers to their
successcrs and they have shown every
kindness and courtesy in explaining
the work that is to be taken up by the
new men. The only change that did
not take place was that of auditor, Mr..
Chanplin holding over under the law
until March l, when H. B. Anderson
will assume the duties. The retiring
officers have performed their duties
public, and The REPUBLICAN feels
sale in say ing that the new republican
officials will without any question give
the people the very best of service.
They have the business requirements
to perform their duties and they will
doit Treasurer Kelsey has appointed
A. B. Kelsey as his deputy and Sheriff

The Commissioners Organize.


AT 10 O'clock the county commission
ers met in regular session and the new
commissioners, Messrs. Levinger and
Gilfllan, Mr.. Grimm being reelected,
and Messrs. Kress and Drake of the old
board we're present. Auditor Champlin
called the board to order. j. d. Kress
was elected chairman of the board for
the ensuing year. He served last year
in that capacity and made splendid
presiding officer. AS the board now
stands it is composed of four republi-
cans and oae populist, MIR. Grimm be-
ing the representative of that party.
The board at once began their work
and took up the approval of the bonds
of the county officers frst The bal
ance OF the day was spent in working
upon routine business. The board is
regarded as one OF more than ordinary
capability, and Messrs. Levinger and
Gilfillan took hold OF the business very
handily. Mr.. Levinger has been on
the city council for number Of years
and undoubtedly will be valuable
acquisition to the board,
Here's to the best of success to the
new county officers and may they make
clear and shining record in the COM
ing two years.

THIRTY-EIGHT YEARS HISTORY.
Work of the Episcopal Church In South
Dakota Is Thoroughly Reviewed..

Work of the Episcopal Church in south
Dakota Is Thoroughly Reviewed..
A most interesting book which de-
tails the history the Episcopal church
in South Dakota has just been issued
from the press of The REPUBLICAN.
The book covers period of thirty
eight years in the growth of the Epis-
copal church, from the time the
first missionary planted his foot ON
this then territory in Juno 1860
until the same month in 1898. The
book opens with very complete re-
port OF the annual address of Right
Reverend William Hobart Hare, de-
livered at the convocation held at Aber-
deem in Septembe and is followed by
historical sketch of the growth of
the church in the white field of South
Dakota by Rev. John H. Babcock of
this city. The Reverend Joseph w.
Cook gives an interesting historical
sketch of the church's growth in the
Indian field of South Dakota, which
shows what great amount of religious
work has been done among the Indians.
The Right Reverend Mahlon N. Gil
bert's address, commemoration ser-
mon OF the twenty-ffth anniversary
of the beginning OF Bishop Hare's work
in South Dakota is also published in
the book in which he sets forth the
grand work accomplished by Bishop
Hare in the long years he has been
connected with the Episcopal church,
whose first labors we're principally
among the Indians, dividing his time
between them and the early white
settlers. This work is indicative of
the strength Of the Episcopal church
and it is interesting to read OF the
wonderful progress made by that
religious society and of the important
influence Bishop Hare has welded in
the religious civilization of the Indian
tribes of the northwest.

been in better working condition than
today. which speaks volume for the
present. The church is not only q
