The timber cruisers in the en-

all summer in the northern tier of

Der tracts owned by the state and
Iappraising the valuation Of the

examined at "a meeting Of the state

THE timber ranges in value from

of it is Of excellent quality.
The state has held no timber
sale for two years. This fall, how

of a considerable amount, partly
on account of the excellent prices
that prevail. The sales are made

GLOBES MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
ID 20 WASHINGTON AV. SOUTH.

The suggestion made by DR.. H. M.
Bracken, secretary of the state board of
health, that pressure should be brought
to bear upon the board of tax levy to
induce that body to provide for an ap-
preparation for suitable detention hos
pital where patients afflicted with con-
tagious disease may be trea ted, is meet
Ing with the approval of the leading bust
ness men of the CITY, who are not salts
fed with the present system of quaran-
timing the people in the homes Were the
home quarantine absolute there would be
but little objection, but it is impossible
to make it perfect, and hence the diseases
which a quarantine is intended to con-
troll frequently spread through the neigh
borhood. This was the case at the begin
ming Of the present contagion and is
realized by business men, physicians and
others that vigorous action on the part
Of the officials is necessary, lest the sick
ness should assume the proportions of an
epidemic during the coming winter.
The teachers Of the Minneapolis public
schools have interested themselves in the
movement now on foot to secure for this
city thoroughly modern and up-to-date
city detention hospital, an institution that
VIII not be regarded with horror by all
sufferers from contagious disease.
The teachers are compelled to mingle
and associate with children of all classes
and they more than any other class Of
workers are in constant danger of con-
tagion. Approaching this, the teachers
who have formed an association, protec-
tive and beneficial, have watched with
interest the movement to replace the
present despised pest house with a de-
cent hospital, and now, with agitation
well under way, they have decided to
take a part in it.
A committee Of physicians appointed by
the teachers met at noon yesterday and
invited DR.. Norred, special assistant
health commissioner, to appear, and he
was given an opportunity Of outlining his
Idea OF the proposed new hospital. The
purpose is to have a detention hospital
not q pest hOuse-after the plan sug-
gested by the state board and other au-
thorities, and like those in all large
cities.
The situation at the present time IS
the best since last November. There
are now but eight cases Of smallpox In
the city. These are in seven different
houses, five of which are on the East
side of the river and four in one neigh
borhood There are but eleven places
under quarantine at the present time.
