SECRETARY LONG KICKS
II
About Having the photographic Office
Put Out of His Department--There
is Much Work For the Department
J in the Near Future.

New York, Feb. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: Secre-
tary Gage is making a strong effort to
have congress enact legislation placing
the photographic office of the navy under
the coast and geodetic survey.
The proposition has been a~ntagonized
by Secretary Long, who has
to gre communications written by
Rear Admiral r. B. Bradford. chief of
the bureau of equipment, showing the
d~esirability of keeping the photographic
office under the navy department. The
matter is of considerable Importance to
the two branches of the government.
and particularly to the navy, which has
| done. considerable survey work at points
| outside of the United States, and which
| has vessels now engaged on such duty.
In the las ava appropriation law a
provision was inserted "for surveys of
the imperfectly known parts of the
! coasts and harbors of the Philippine
archipelago and the islands of Cuba and
Porto Rico, with their bordering keys
and waters n the minor outlying
islands,"
The sundry civil appropriation bill
| contains a provision for the surveys and
resurveys of the Atlantic and gulf coasts
of the United States, Including the
coasts of outlying Stands under the
jurisdiction of the United States" and
"other coasts on the Pacific ocean under
the jurisdiction of the United States"
The coast and geodetic survey holds
it should survey the outlying islands, but
the navy department declares it las spe-
cific authority, and under it vessels have
been equipped for survey service in Cuba
and Porto Rico, and instructions have
been given to Rear Admiral Watson t1
make surveys Of the Philippine archipel.
Ago..
The navy would greatly regret the
transfer of the photographic Office te

been pointed out to congress that The
coast and geodetic surve has not ye'
completed the survey Of the Alaskan
coast, which will take some years, ar
serveys of the Atlantic and Pacifi
COASTS are not finally completed.
tausWhen the insurrection in the Philip
comes to an end a great man,
small vessels will be available for sur
iveying the coasts Of the islands of tina
archipelago. n through their comstan
employment quick progress will be mad.
in charting the coasts.
Naval vessels are actively engaged il

confidently believed by naval official
that congress will determine to keep tn
photographic offices under the navy.

the Legislature adjourned, however,
there was n sudden transformation.

did they get it? Did they save 1t out

Ned OF A NEW JAIl,

1t Is apparent to all familiar with
the situation that Fergus county IL
greatly In need of a new jail, and the
matter should not be delayed more
than a year or two at the iurthest.
The jail building proper Ia far too
small, while the court house base
ment Ia not suitable owing to bad
sewage facilities. dampness and lack
Of security. The old jailcontains but
two cells, while there are four in the
court house. Recently this capacity
has been taxed In the disposition OF
prisoners, and, ii reports Hre true, in
n manner not conducive OF justice.
Ii transpires that in the cHre of pris-
oners it became necessary to place
James Calder in a cell with Fisher
and through this association the for
mer has been prevailed upon to re-
tract his statement made on the wit
ness stand that the latter killed the
sheepherder, and now declares that
William Calder, his brother, killed
both men. II this should prove TO he
the case and results from their occu-
plying the same cell, where constant
urging and imploring was possible,
1t Is most unfortunate. The county
has been at great expense In these
cases, taking their trials and keeping
combined, and every possible effort
should have been made to prevent a
miscarriage OF justice.
To meet the growing demand the
present frame Jail should be sold for
what 1t will bring and replaced with
u stone structure that will have
room for all of the cells under one
roof, with space for more when
needed. Prisoners could then be
looked after with less trouble and the
danger of escape lessened. The cells,
six in number, are in good condition,
and should the city build n lookup
In the near future to take care oil
those charged with petty %oifenses,
these cells might prove ample for a
number OF years to come. At the
present time there IL no ward orplace
for n female prisoner, should one be
committed to the care OF the jailer.
This IL a matter that should receive
due consideration by the next grand
jury when such a body il drawn. No
doubt the conditions at present area
little unusual, and the coming term
Of court il likely to reduce the num-
Der of prisoners materially, yet with
our increasing population it il only a
matter of n short time when thepres,
ent jail facilities will be wholly mad
equatc to meet the demand.

NOME GOLD FIELDS

The first map folder or circular respect
ing the klondike gold strike OF 1898 was
issued by the Northern Pacific Railway.
1t is more than a coincidence that the first
map folder or pamphlet oil the Nome Min
ing district comes from the same source.
The present folder not only contains q
good map Of the Nome district but is EN-.
bellished with several cuts OF views at
Nome City and on the beach where the
method OF mining is clearly shown. All
information obtainable regarding sailing
dates from Seattle and Tacoma, through
rates, ETC., is given in this book and the
public cautioned TO go to the agents of the
n. p. Ry., who are supplied with diagrams
OF the Alaska Steamers, and arrange in
advance for their accommodations rather
than put off this very important business
until they reach Puget Sound. There is no
doubt but what there will be a very con-
siderable passenger business from the mid
die and eastern states and a very heavy
business from the Pacific Coast States to
the Nome district next spring.
For folders, rates. etc.. CALI on A. D. Edgar,
General Agent n. r., Helena, Montana, or
Chas. S. Fee, General Passenger Agent, st.
Paul, Mimi, and he will mail you the
Nome folder.
