Gov SHAW'S MESSAGE
lowa's chiefExecutive's Biennial
Communication to the
Legislature.
STATE TREASURY IN. GOOD SHAPE

In Better Condition Than It Was Two
Years Ago by neutrality-suspicious. Lib
eral Policy Urged in the Management of
the State NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the Gov
ernor's Salary Should Be Increased--
Iowa Military Record-Other Subjects.
Governor Shaw's annual message to
the Iowa legislature begins with q
financial exhibit in which he shows
that the treasury is in better condition
than 1t was two years ago by $1,00S,-
5000. In speaking Of the banks Of
the state, he says:
I "Of the more than $11O, OOO,O 900 held
by national, state, and private banks,
investigation convinced me that GER
3tainly over one-half is owned by farm
ers; and the SOL, 900 900 on deposit in
savings banks is held almost exclusive
Aly by wage-earners and people of linn
tied income. Unquestionably the pro-
portion of unincumbered farms in the
state exceeds that Of any other period.
4 In addition, the value of all agricultur-
al lands and of farm animals has very
materially appreciated within the last
few years. Under these favorable con-
ditions, think the. Twenty-eighth gem
eral assembly will be justified In max
Ing somewhat more liberal appropria-
ton than in former years. Great care,
however, should be exercised, for it
must be borne In mind that it is easier
for state, as we'll as for an indiyid-
ual. to incur liability than to dis
charge one.
B. Board Of Control.
The REIMBURSEMENT general assem-
bly, made provisions for board of
control, which, for nearly two years,
has had the management Of all our
state institutions, excepting those
purely educational. The policy thus in
augurated has resulted in very con-
siderable saving to the state, and in
addition the service at most of the in
stitutions, am. persuaded, has been
improved.+ The report of the
board is SO full, and comprehensive.
that 1t will not be necessary for me
to refer to our several eleemosynary,
penal, and reformatory institutions in
detail. recommend the report itself
to your careful personal perusal and
consideration. 1t sets forth at. some
length the various needs of the sever
al institutions under its management.
For all necessary demands, it will be
the duty of this general assembly to
make provision.
The several institutions under the
control Of the board have in the aggre-
gate 4,189 acres Of land, valued at
$500, 849. The buildings thereon are
valued at $7,462,7 35, and the personal
property at $597, 134.77, making a to-
tai Of $3.50, 1877. There were being
cared for at these institutions June 80,
1899, $3.50 persons. There was ex-
pended during the period for the sup
port Of inmates $2,114, 619.75; for i'm

MORE GROUND NEEDED.

The Governor Recommends the Purchase
of Two Blocks Near Capitol.
when the present capitol was built,
1t was believed to be as commodious as
the needs of the state would ever re-
Quire. 1t has now been occupied six
teen years, and several of the depart
ments are seriously congested. An ar

Storage Of quartermaster supplies is
now provided in building rented for
the purpose 1t was found necessary
to locate the board of control in com
mittee rooms back of the senate cham
Der, which cannot we'll be spared from
their designed use during the session
of the general assembly. A warehouse
for the storage and proper distribution
and reshipment of supplies for the va
rious institutions under the manage
ment of the board of control, is much
needed, and should be provided at an
early date. A new building for the
memorial, historical, and art depart
ment has been erected, and partitions
and changes In various offices have
been found imperative to make room
for the several departments connected
with the state government. Evidently
additional buildings will be needed in
ed, should be fireproof and of substan-
should be SO located as to improve and
add dignity to the present capitol.
II recommend that the two blocks

Mine. That burn For Years.

\ number of good sized mines are
now on fire in the United States and

in Colorado has been in fire since the
great explosion several years ago, when
about 80 persons lost their lives. All

has been afire since 1854. 1t has been
treated with carhonic acid gas gener-
ated on a large scale. quickline and
acids and all the sitting devices that
genius and experience could devise, but
so far without effect.
In Pennsylvania there are several
steadily burning mines, and in one
place where the outlet of natural gas is
very great the spectacle IL affords is of
surprising interest. For miles around
a great tower of fire may be,seen day
and night. and the dense black smoke
which ii gives off settles upon the sur
rounding country. How a mine gets
afire is easily explained, even though
