LAND FOR INSTITUTIONS.
Legislators Investigate Needs of Ger
tain state institutions.

Des Moines, March "a number of
senators called on the board of control
yesterday to secure additional informa-
ton concerning the lands needed by the
institutions at Independence Clarinda.
Glenwood and Davenport. The board
of control in its report asked for an an
preparation of $4,000 for the purchase
of lands. Mir. Cownie explained to the
senators that at Independence the state
has been renting a half section of land,
but the establishment of a canning fac
tory there has made it impossible to re-
new the leases with land owners, and
unless land is purchased the institution
will be compelled to go on the markets
and buy the vegetables and farm prod
ucts that heretofore have been raised
by the labor of inmates. The board
has options on 800 acres of land adj
Joining the institution, ranging in price
from $50 to $50 per acre. There are $50
inmates at Clarinda. The board says
that the state should own one acre of
ground for each inmate: that this
amount can be farmed with profit. Mr..
Cownie called the attention of senators
to the increase in receipts under the
system of farming inaugurated by the
board. At one institution piece of
land had been planted to potatoes for

Nevada. March 1.-THE petitions for a
special election to be held for the pur
pose of voting a 8 per cent tax in Ne
vada township. Story county, TO aid
the Duluth & New Orleans Railway
Company in the construction of its
line, have been in circulation during
the last few days, and have been iber-
ally signed. 1t is understood that Il
majority of the resident freeholders
have already signed the petitions, so
that it is probable that the trustees
will issue the call for the election at
some early date. as specified by law.
There is a well-Gefned opposition to
the voting of this tax, since the COM
pany failed TO complete the road in
time last year to secure the ore then
granted, but it is thought that the pre-
vailing sentiment is in favor of the
tax. and the friends of the road are
enthusiastic over the promising state
of the company's affairs.
