MORE ROOM REQUIRED
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL WILL
HAVE TO MOVE.

Even before it's legal official existence
has begun, the state board of control
has become convinced of the necessity
of securing offices more commodious than
the temporary quarters now occupied
at the state capitol. The rooms now
used are properly committee rooms be-
longing to the senate chamber and at
any time that the legislature may be in
session must be vacated. The present
offices of the state board of correction
and charities will be vacant as soon an
the board of control assumes official
charge, but they are far too small to
accommodate the board OF control and
its corps of clerks. President Leavitt
has been in negotiation with the agents
of various downtown office buildings, but
thus far no offices have been decided
upon.
One of the problems which the board
of control will have to solve when it
assumes official management of the state
institutions will be what remuneration
is reasonably adequate for the services
of the chaplains of those establishments
One of the requirements of the law under
which the board will operate is that SAL
aries for similar services in the various
| institutions shall be equalized, and in
| this particular direction there is a wide
| scope of precedent, for there is perhaps
no class of functionaries among whom
there is so wide a diversity of salaries
as the chaplains. In some of the in
situations it is customary to pay local
pastors S. for each sermon delivered.
At Others the compensation is otherwise
determined and the rates vary according
to the method employed. At the Still
water penitentiary it has been customary
for some years past, for the board of
prison managers to employ two chap
lains, one Protestant and one Roman
Catholic, at salaries of $500 year each.
They preach alternate Sundays which
makes the rate for sermons delivered at
the prison, if the same method of COM
pensation is followed, somewhere In the
neighborhood of $23 each. However,
in this connection it is only fair to state
that the bi-weekly sermons are not the
only offices performed by the cnaplains
of the prison, as they are perhaps as
frequently called upon to minister to the
portion of the f1ocks which are inside
the walls as those outside.

WILL LAY new PIPE
WATER BOARD EFFDtTs CoMPRo-
MISE WITH UNION DEPOT co.

When the ordinance granting to the
Union Depot company certain privileges
necessary for the enlargement of it's
yards was drafted no provision was made
for the big water main which crosses
the river near the yards and supplies the
West side with water.
The main was a sixteen-inch affair, and
in making the fill tons of earth had been
dumped on it before the mistake was
discovered. For the water board the er-
ror theatened to prove rather costly, but
through Assistant Corporation Attorney
Stobbart, yesterday a compromise was
reached with the Union Depot company
by which in return for new pipe the com
pany will furnish the labor to lay 1t.
Piling will be driven and the new pipe
laid on top of it, connections being made
with the service pipe some distance out
in the river The old pipe will not be
disturbed. By the compromise the board
expects to save about $1,000.

Life to the most favored is not always
full of sunshine, but to the average
American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living, and, perhaps
to help others at home, life is often a
heavy drag in consequence of illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations
such as backache, pains in the lower

with the provisions of the ordinance with
respect to license fees
The defendants showed fight and re-
tanned s. J. Donnelly to defend them He
argued all the morning, with a view to
convincing the court that the law had
not been violated, but the contention Of
the prosecuting attorney, that a payment
of 500 in addition to the regular license
fee was necessary before two men could
do business from the same wagon, was
sustained.
The defendant, Toole, was fined $40, but
as he did not have the amount handy he
was given until this morning to settle.

STATE LANDS SELL WELL
AVERAGE OF $2I PER ACRE REAL
ICED IN kANDIYOHI COUNTY
State Auditor superintendent Sale
Which Realized $4,000
Toward the New Cap
itOI Fund.

State Auditor Dunn returned yesterday
from Willmar, where, on the previous, he
held an auction sale of the so-called state
capitol lands in Kandiyohi county.
The tract comprised 6,4G0 acres, and
about SO per cent of it had previously
been leased in small parcels through the
agency of the county officials to persons
who had made permanent improvements.
The law authorizing the sale directed
that these improvements should be sold
with the lands at prices not less than
their valuation as appraised by the COM
missioners appointed to appraise the
lands. Mr. Dunn states that but for that
fact the property would have brought
much better prices, but on account of the
improvements most of it was allowed
to go to the former lessees, as other
bidders did not care to pay for the i'm
provements~
All of the land was sold, and the aver
age price per acre was $21, and the
amount which the state will receive from
the sale is $134 400 The average of the
prices fixed by the appraisers was SIG
per acre.
The lowest price received was SIS per
acre, and only three parcels sold as low
as that. The highest price was SOS. 80 The
terms of the sale as fixed by law are as
follows: Fifteen per cent of the purchase
price and interest on the unpaid balance
from the date of sale to June l, 1902, and
the appraised value of the improvements
thereon must be paid at the time of sale.
The balance of the purchase money can
be paid at any time, in whole -or i'm part,
within forty years of the time of the
saleq the rate of interest on the unpaid
balance of the purchase money will be
per cent per annum, payable in advance
on June 1 of each year.
At the same time, Mr.. Dunn also sold
about ten different tracts Of low swampy
school lands which remained from for
mer sales in Kandiyohi county, and there
are now no state lands of any description
remaining unsold in that county.

RELICS OF HARD TIMES
TWO OLD JAIL DOORS WILL ADORN

Portals of the Underground Dun
geons of Ramsey COunty's
Prison Built in
1857.

By courtesy of Sheriff Justus and the
board of county commissioners the State
Historical society will soon receive a
valuable addition to its museum of relics,
two massive oak doors which were taken
from the old jail building at the tine it
was destroyed.
The historical interest in these doors
lies in the fact that they were a portion
of the original Jail building erected in
1857 and as they were used to seal the
portals to the old underground dungeons
it should not be hard to invest them with
considerable of romantic interest as we'll,
for they have undoubtedly witnessed
much human suffering in the times when
these old dungeons were used anu prison.
ers were not as humanely treated as now.
1t is many years since those dark cells
were occupied but through all the
changes that the building has under
gone the doors have remained grim ana
uncompromising reminders of the severe
methods of correction and the primitive
style of Jail architecture in vogue a half
century ago. In appearance they strong
ly proclaim the use for which they were
designed. They are constructed of mas
sive coax timber, nearly six inches in
thickness and joined with stout bolts and
screws.
