THE STATE TWINE PLANT.

WanpeIon Globe: Warden Boucher
OF the North Dakota state prison in
formed the Globe some days since that
all the binding twine the prison mills
had been able to manufa cture had been
disposed of by the first of July, and
that orders for tons and tons of twine
had been received since then, which he
was unable to fill. The prison twine
was sold at several cents a pound be-
low the prices demanded by the trusts
which now control the market and
those farmers and others who DELAYED
putting in their orders until late in the
season have to pay the penalty to the
trusts. The warden will ask the next
legislature to accept the experience of
the Minnesota people in handling the
tWine output for another year, which
will keep the twine out of the hands
of dealers until later in the season.
Farmers who want to buy state made
tWine another year can just as we'll file
their orders in January or during the
spring months and be sure of the
tWine. They will not have to pay
for it until the following December.
any they may be sure that state prices
will be lower than trust prices, it
makes no difference what conditions
may prevail. The twine plant is now
in prosperous condition, and while a
good deal of money was lost the first
year, yet the loss has been made up
and the factory now shows a profit,
and business will be pushed cortinu-
ously hereafter. The plant will be
run every working Gay during the COM
ing year, so that many more people
may be accomm odated by the increased
output.

board consists of Governor White,
Treasurer Mcmillan, Auditor Carlblom,
Attorney General Comstock. and Com
missioner Turner. The duties of the

the several counties are being received

The board will probably dispose of
the matter of railroad assessment be-

total valuation of railroad property as
fixed by the state board last year was
not quite $1s,O0O,OOO, which was an
increase of about 100000 over the
preceding year.
