Health officer Reports Against Re-
uueHf of Dog OMners.

Marian Ryan is the owner Of dog five
months old. She had no tag for the animal
when. the 9th instant, the poundmaster
captured him, she being of the impression
that a Cog 50 young is not required to be
licensed. She applied to the District Com
rnisssoners for the release Of the animal
without the payment of the pound fee OF
s. explaining that it was her intention to
procure the license August l.
This Commissioners referred the applica-
lion To the health officer. and from a report
made 10 him by the poundmaster 1t appears
that the dog was captured, without either
q collar or tag, on o street between North
Capitol and LIST streets The poundmaSter
states that the dog appears to be cross
between a collie and a setter, apparently
nearly full grown, being about two feet
high In a report 20 the Commissioners the
health officer explains that the law Is ST.
lent 20 the age at which dog must ar
rye before il is necessary for the owner
of il to procure a license and tag. But in
view Of the statements of the poundmaster
he states his belief that the capture of the
animal was not only within the letter. but
also within the spirit Of the law. He there
fore recommends that the request of the
owner be denied
A similar recomme ndation has also been
made by the health officer in the case Of r.
Hoy. whose dog recently captured
while running at large without a collar or
tag MIR. Hoy explained that he had a L.
cenSe and tag for the animal last year
but had lost the receipt. In view of the
fact that the animal was captured in COM
pliance with the order of the Commission
ers relative 70 the impounding of untagged
dogs during July the health officer knows
OF no reason why the payment Of the pound
fee should be waived
These recommendations il Is expected
the Commissioners will approve.

Splendid RECORD Of
GOVERNOR uND'S
DAIRY COMMISSIONER

The present dairy and food COM
Maj. J. M. Bowler, was
appointed by Governor Lind, January
9th, 1899. The department was prompt
ly reorganized. The old assistant and
inspectors were: displaced by men
specially qualified to discharge their
duties, which it can be truthfully said
they have performed faithfully and in
telligently. For the first time in the
history of the department, scientific and
practical creamery and cheese experts
were appointed to positions in the de-
partment. Much new legislation was
needed and was sought at the hands OF
the last legislature. In this respect
very little was accomplished, however,
owing to the unreasonable opposition
of Representative G. F. Staples and q
lobby composed of some OF the former
officials of the department.
Nevertheless the work of the depart.
ment has been prosecuted vigorously
throughout the state. Many towns have
been visited and stores ntpected which
never saw, NOR scarcely heard OF, suct
9 person as an inspector.
Nearly 600 creameries and so cheese
factories were visited and thoroughly
inspected during the year 1899, as ap
pears by detai]ed reports now on FL,

other states, than it did the year be-
fore. This the present administration
has accomplished, not only without
added cost, but, as has been proven
by the above figures, at a greatly re-
duced cost. No promise was made to
reduce expenses, but they we're reduced
nevertheless.
There is an old saying, familiar to
all, that ''people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones.''
1t would have been we'll for the state
auditor had he needed the moral con-
tanned therein. Inasmuch as he has
seen fit to promulgate the doctrine that
cheapness is the only criterion of good
public service, he cannot consistently
object if it is applied to the affairs of
his own Office. So here goes:
During the four years from 1891 to
1894, inclusive, during which Biermann
(fusionist) was state auditor, the av-
erage cost of conducting the Office was
SD, ,505.27 per annum. During the
first four years of the present auditor S
official career, he managed to worry
along on an average annual expense
of l7,620.22, an increase of 3,1l4.95
per annum, or 81 per cent.
When Biermann was auditor the ex-
penses of the land department were on
an average S19, 760.O2 per annum. The
present state auditor came in as re-
former, and Immediately the expenses
rose to S27, ,705.l5 for the first year,
and to an average of s26, 513.78 per an
mum for the whole term of four years:
an increase in expenses of S6, 1853. 7e
per annum, or "a per cent.
During Biermann's administration,
the average land sales amounted to
So, ,047 acres per annum. During the
first four years of the present auditor s
regime they dropped down to "a, ,44e
acres per annum; a decrease of 81 pei
cent in the sales.
During Biermann's administration
it cost "a cents per acre to sell state
lands. Under the administration O.
the present auditor, it costs Sl.08 pei
acre, an increase of 317 per cent.
Had the auditor confined his efforts
to reform to his own Office, he Nigh
have escaped the necessity of increas
ing expenses at such fearful rate
while the business of his Office fell off
But, he has found it necessary to keel
a sufficient force of clerks to enabl1
him to send them prying after cam
paign roorbacks, into other depart
ments, with whose affairs he had M
more to do than the man in the moon
and the people pay the bills.

'And are these officers, or any of

page 2 of the resolution the words:

auested to inform the senate"

Mr.. Pettigrew.-Mr. President, the
Sulu group of islands are located be-
tween the island of Borneo and the
island of Mindanao, of the Philippine
group. They are $50 in number. These
islands were conquered by the Mo-
hammedans about eight centuries ago,
and they have maintained, as long as
we have any history of them, govern
ment of their own, having an absolute
monarch for a ruler. Spain claimed
ownership over these islands, and has
undertaken at various times to take
possession of them. Her power and
authority reached the distance only
from the shores of the islands which
could be traversed by projectiles from
the cannon OF her feet. These people
have been pirates and Shareholders
and polygamists from the earliest
record of their transactions.
y In 1876 Spain undertook to conquer
their islands, and assert her authority
over them, but the effort failed; and
finally the aggressive powers entereo
into q treaty with the sultan by which
F Spain was to keep an officer represent
ing THAT government and small
j. number Gf troops at the capital of the
Sulu group. The sultan agreed te
recognize the suzerairty of the king o1
Spain and promised to suppress piracy5
L he received from Spain certain salaries
as compensation for his recognition o
|. the suzerainty OF the king OF Spain.
Whether or not the commissioners q
paris knew what they were buying
cannot tell; but in some way we pur
chase d the entire group, including al
the. the philippines; and we now find tha

Willmar tribune., 1900-10-20

Had the auditor been more intent
upon reaching truthful and fair con.
clusion tt an he was upon manufactur.
ing campaign thunder, he would have
discovered that during the last five
years of republican administration,
the expenses increased at the rate of
Sl3, ,248.46 per annum, on an average;
while during the firstyear of the press Mt
regime they decreased, ac| ording to his
own figures, by $500. Add this sum
to the average increase under five years
of republican rule, and it shows that
the present management has reduced
the republican average record for five
years by $l9,057.46. So far, every
figure used herein is based upon the
auditors own speech.
Now, in order that no snap Judgment
be taken in this matter, suppose we go
back ten years, beginning with the
year 1891. During that year the ex.
penses amounted to only $98, ,32l. &c;
for 1899 they ran up to $213, ,764.54, as
above stated, Thus it will be seen that
during the years 1851 to 1899, inclusive,
there was an average increase of ex-
penses amounting to 12,826.98 per an
mum. On this basis: which every un-
prejudiced mind will accept as eminent
ly fair, the average republican record
OF increase was reduced $l8, ,635.9 SO, the
first year after char &c was made in
the admins ration.
But why should there have been an
increase at all during the period stated?
At first sight there does not appear to
be any reason for it, but an acquaint-
ance with the facts show that certain
amount of increase from year to year
is justified by the growth Of the tt rmin.
ais. Yards are increased in humber,
demanding additional corps of in.
spectors; new elevators are being built,
demanding additional weighing SER
vice. This expansion of the facilities
for handling the grain, in anticipation
of future business, does not increase
the receipts of the department by one
penny, but it adds to the expense o1
both the inspection and weighing SER
vice. That the new administration
should have succeeded in meeting this
increase of terminal facilities, while
actually reducing expenses, is one o.
the strongest testimonials to it's eff.
cheney that it could have we'll received
For this opportunity to bring this
hattering showing to light, it is unde,
no small debt to the state auditor.
If the auditors conclusions ha6
conformed to the facts-which it has
been shown they do not-they wouli
in no way have materially detractet
from the credit due Mr.. Reishus ani

Cost of Selling State Lands

During His Term.
BY p. N. RINGDAL.

In his speech at Milaca few days
ago, the state auditor went out of his
way to take a slap at another branch
OF the executive department of the
state government.
1t is a we'll known fact that the pres
ent auditor is at heart in sympathy
with the attempts of the present ad-
ministration to rescue the state from
the sgovernment which has -four
ished under the protection of his
party. That a man entertaining such
sentiments should be forced by the
exigencies of partisan politics to take
hostile ground against the only orga-
nized effort to right the wrongs, which
he himself has often recognized, is not
the most encouraging sign of the
times; and when he feels justified in
telling half-truths in order to accom-
plish his task of manufacturing party
thunder, he gets dangerously near to
that boundary line which separates
truth from falsehood. In order to
make a favorable showing for the ad-
ministration of the "grain depart
ment" under republican auspices, he
deliberately passes by the year end
ing Aug. 81, 1899, and compares the
last crop year with that of 1898. The
figures used in the governors speech
of acceptance which the auditor at
tempts to question are the figures for
the twelve months ending July 81,
1899, the last year of Mr.. Clausen's
administration, and for the twelve
months ending July 81, 1900, the first
year of Mr.. Reishus' administration.
It was necessary for the. auditor to go
further back than this in order to find
comparison that was favorable to
him, and to his party. But even the
figures given by himself in his speech
are, when analyzed, sufficient to refute
his charge of extravaganza. The fol-
lowing table, copied from his speech,
gives the expenses for the crop years
1895 to 1900, inclusive:

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. March 5.--Attention in the
stock market continued to be largely dl-
verified to the feverish and excited tiuc-
uations of a small number of stocks.
Manipulation by the bears was largely
responsible for the changes. In the case
of American Sugar the operations of the
professional traders were interrupted by
the unexpected action of the directors In
declaring Il quarterly dividend of ~ per
cent on the common stock. This sudden
tearing aside of the veil Of mystery rath-
en- nonplussed the professional traders
who had counted upon a period of un-
certainty until "Wednesday in which 10
circulate vague tips and to keep up an
excited tuctuation in the stock with
opportunities for profit taking both up
and down. The cutting in half of the
dividend was about what Wall Streer
sentiment had settled upon, but coming
suddenly uron the half executed plans
of the speculative contingent, it left them
all at sea. The stock opened under pres
sure. but after falling nearly two points
encountered very vigorous support and
was rallied to 1852 by noon. A two
thousand share lot was taken at that
price when the news became known of
the dividend action. Enormous selling
for both accounts Immediately followed
and the price slumped by wide breaks
with occasional spasmodic rallies to 81
Fluctuations were very wild on the re-
coyely to par. The flood of offerings
prevented the rise above that, but on the
reaction to SO large buying was in evil
dence again, which rallied it to 991b,
Where IL closed AT net loss of 13s. In
the half hour after midday transactions

aggregate of 62,OO0 shares There were

TIME with the slump in American Sugar.
but the general market was not affected.
In fact the stock market gave evidence
or It's relief over the settlement of this
disturbing question by smart rally,
many OF the railroads rising to the best
prices of the day.
The market was again unsettled in
the late dealings by an attack on Steel
