WILL PARE DOWN ESTIMATES.
Iowa Board Favors More Land TO
State Institutions.

Des Moines, Sept. 6.-The state
board of control will not ask for any
lareg appropriations for state institu-
ton buildings this year and probably
will be able to cut it's estimates on eX-
traordinary expenditures for the ensu-
ing biennial period to an extremely low
figure. The legislature ofa1900 appro-
priated $397,974 for the state institu-
tons, excepting for the completion of
Cherokee. The latter took $S60,000.
1t will completed by July l, 1902. an
appropriation for furnishing it will
have to be made, and for it's mainte-
nance.
The institutions need more land,
said John Cownie Of the board today.
I'VE will ask the legislature for liberal
appropriations for the purchase Of
land unless change in the policy is
determined upon before our report is
completed. We estimate that two
acres to an inmate of an institution
are not more than are required. When
we plan on what we could do with the
immense amount of labor at the insti-
tutions in the way of tillins the soil
We appreciate to some extent the i'm
mense waste there has been last hall
century in this state. The state now
has about 100000 invested in land. II
owns approximately 400 acres. Yet
it's total property amounts in value to
close to S10,0o0,O00, according to the
statistics We have at hand. OF this
about SS,000,000 is in buildings, $780,.
600 in personal property and the re-
mainder in land, amounting to about
1901 ,000.'

load well up the next hill. The val
leys are thickly inhabited and every
spot of ground even to almost inacces-
sides, are utilized. The so-called
farms are absurdly small and are di-
vided up into fields" of from two to
five acres each. How the amount of
tillable soil here can support the large
population residing in these valleys is
a mystery which the tourist finds nee
essary to leave unsolved. 1t is clear
ly evident that all of the Injuries, as
we'll as many of those things regarded
by Americans as necessities, are lack
ing in these households.
Taking a caleshe one morning, by
means of signs and few smattering
French words, we made out driver I'M
derstand that we wanted to go out
along the road towards Quebec.
"Oui, Oui, monsieur" was the smil
ing reply, and grasping the lines we
quickly started to climb the steep road
up the mountain side. Up up, and
still up we went for nearly an hour
and yet we seemed far from the top.
Finally grasping the arm of the driver
l exclaimed, Stop, you are on the
wrong road; We asked you to take us
towards Quebec; you are taking us
towards heaven! We are not ready
to go there yet" The boy look mys-
tilted and l repeated what l had said
"Je ne comprends pas said he.
1t is evident that he did not under
stand" said my companion, cor he
would never have started out to take
a newspaper man straight to heaven

Business at the Cttun1wa Postoffice ir
Excellent Shane.

The postal receipts of the Ottumwa
postoffice for the month of August
show very flattering increase over
the same month last year, and the
same month two years ago. The re-
ceipt for August, 1901, were S4,2S3.S0,
against SS,631.70 for August, 1900,and
$3,47l.52 for August, 1899. This of
course shows an increase in each
year, but that of the last August is
much more flattering than the year
previous. The increase of August,
1901, over August, 1900, is IS per cent,
and the increase of August. 1901, over

Murray Say.
From Tadousac we steam across the
st. Lawrence which is here twenty
miles wide, to Riviere du Loup and
then back again, distance of so miles
to Murray Bay. Murray Bay is 50
miles nearer the sea than Quebec and
is popular Canadian summer resort.
Here is the Manor Richelieu hotel,
owned and operated by the r. & o.
Navigation Co. and which is one Of
the best hotels we have found in our

Desiring to obtain glimpse of
French Canadian life we left the
steamer at Murray Bay and remained
there two days. The inhabitants are
all French, as are a majority of the
guests at the hotel. Among the form
er, English is not spoken, neither can

the amusing incidents in the endAavor
to make ourselves understood.
Murray Bay consists of one long
street extending distance of five
miles or more along the shore of the
river, the houses being built on the
narrow strip Of ground between the
base of the mountains, which here
come down to the shore and, the wa
ter's edge. The water here is salt and
the tide has an ebb and flow of some
| five or six feet. The drives about
Murray Bay are beautiful and can be
enjoyed at a very moderate cost. The
only means of conveyance are buck
boards drawn by one horse and carry
ing three people besides the driver, or
the famous two-wheeled caleshes car
rying two people besides the driver.
The horses are of a peculiar breed of
mountain pony exceedingly strong and
active, and which apparently never
tire. They seem to dig their toes into
the roadway in climbing the mountains
in a most conical manner, and in des-
cending they will frequently go on the
dead run, thus securing momentum

MODEST YOUNG MAN.
His Bashfulness Causes Considerable
Trouble.

A mar from Reno tells the follow
ing on a young mar from that place
who went to call on a seventeen year
old daughter Of a friend Of his.
When the young nan decided to go
home it was found that a terrible
storm vas raging. AS he had no
umbrella or rubber coat the girls
father asked him to stay at the house
until morning and he readily on
scented. He is a bashful young man
and next morning when he was in
vited to a seat at the table he reluct-
antly accepted. He was nervous and
excited. He sat opposite a mirror
and discovered that he had forgotten
to comb his hair. Then he dropped
his fork and as he stopped TO pick ii
up, he upset his coffee. Matters
went from bad to worse and finally in
despair the young man quit eating and
put his hands under the table. The
loose end Of the table cloth was lying
in his lap and when he touched 1t he
turned pale. he thought ii was his
shirt and that in his nervous excitment
while dressing he had neglected to put
the garment inside his trousers. That
he thought accounted for the stares and
the smiles of the family and his en-
barrasment. There was no time for
delay and he hurriedly stuffed the sup
posed shirt inside his trousers; two
minutes later when the family
arose from the table. there was a
crash and the dishes fell in a broken
mass on the floor. The young man
pulled several feet Of tablecloth out of
his pants and fled through the open
door.
