SALTY REPORT.
Asylum Board Makes Public
Its Official Reports.
Published After It's Suppression
By the Administration
Became Evident.

After waiting in vain for the
Governor to publish the annual re-
ports of the Western Asylum for the
Insane for 1900 and 1901, the Board
OF Commissioners have had the
suppressed reports published them
selves.
Theywere in through the usual
channels, one year ago and the
other three months ago, but moth
ing has ever been heard from them.
AS the annual reports for nearly
fifty years are preserved in an un-
broken file, the Board by resolution
authorized the publication of the
documents. They were issued Sat
urday and mailed to the members
of the Legislature.
According to the report for 1900,
the Board after spending for build
ingS11, ,OOO;returned So, ,669. OF to the
State Treasury, the expenses for
the year ending Sept. 80, 1899, be-
ing S93, 45L5O.
The following year showed an
increase to S1O5, 976 88 and the year
1901 a still further increase to
'Sl21, ,3O2 90, the building appropria-
tions being S14, ,564.62.
A comparison is made and in
creases shown to have been made
as follows, over 1899: Salaries,
ST, ,255, ,9S, wages ST, ,3OIe3, clothing
S120.8O, dry goods $1,7O9.20, fuel
S4, 582 20, groceries S2,41I32. meats
S8O6.7S, liquors $647 GO, butter and
eggs 81, 1,O75,1O. seed S762.79. Intwo
items there is shown a decrease
Ebread stuffs S26s. p and chape,
services $50.
The charge is made that "the
Steward and Superintendent, act
ing under the advice of the State
Inspector and Examiner, have ig.
nored the Board and extravaganza e,
charges of immortality and indict.
ments against officials for gaming
have all made ga grievously un-
fortunate year in the history of the
institution.
The scandals of a year ago are
briefly reviewed and some rather
salty comments made on the part
played by the administration in the
attempt to suppress thefacts.
DR.. Ray comes in for some crit
icism on account of his lack of
courtesy to the Board and for
"openly and fiagrantly violating
regulations adopted by this
Board, looking to the proper use Of
the property of the asylum, in vio-
lation of the law.
The report concludes with the
recommendation that the proper
remedy for these evils is to empower
the Board to enforce the rules and
law, even to the point of removing
officials.

HOhenzOllerns Are the Most
Distinguished in Europe.
Prince Henry the Most Popular
Living Member.
NOT LIKE HIS BROTHER
of the German Navy,
and Noted For Bravery.
The Court Has Always Been
Free From Taint.

The visit of member of the Hohen-
zollern family to the United States in
the person of Prince Henry, brother OF
Kaiser Wilhelm, is certainly an event
of social if not of political Importance.
The Hohenzollerns undoubtedly de-
serve to rank highest of all the kingly
families of Europe, their name having
been written more conspicuously on its
pages for the past thousand years than
that of any other single family.
Prince Henry is a marked contrast in
disposition to his imperious brother. He
is an admiral in the German navy and
possesses the medal for distinguished
service won by unusual bravery and
GOODNESS in action. He commenced his
nautical career at a very early age and
has been for twenty years a sailor.
"Unser Heinrich" as he is called, is
about 40 years old, and is much more
of a faVorite in Germany than is the
kaiser. 1t has been said that he can
not leave kiel, where his present posi-
ton in the navy cOmpels him to reside,
without special consent of the emperor.
Prince Henry was the favorite grand
son of Queen Victoria, whom he de-
lighted to visit, and was also the best
beloved child of the Emperor Frederick
and his imperial consort. His yalor and
hardihoOd form the theme of many Oft
told stories among the men of his COM
mand and the PrussianS, who love most
to honor him.
The prince or emperor who would live
up to the highest Hohenzollern standard
must be both great as a warrior and
great as "a man.
The greatest of all the Hohenzollerns
was the grandfather of Prince Henry,
Emperor William I. AS a contradiction
to an impression which has become gen.
eral, it is remarked by,a prominent his
torian that the Germany of today might
have been without a Bismarck but could
not have been without Emperor Will
liam.
1t was through this great monarch
that the German dream of unity and in
dependence was realized. The once dis
integrated Kingdoms which constitute it
today We're vanquished and Sorrowful
at the time William I assembled the
throne of Prussia. They had been
ground between the millstones of other
powers for centuries The war with
France, which led to the coronation of
William l as emperor of United Ger
many, in the palace of the French kings
at Versailles, brought about the until
cation of the empire which had been
moulding for centuries.
William L was the descendant of a
long line of great ancestors and was en-
slowed with a character; which, but for
a few rather narrow traits, was formed
to achieve distinction This ruler reach
ally, it is true, and not without grave
set-backs, but his career. after his re-
turn to Prussia from exile, into which
he was driven by the revolution, was
one of continually rising progress.

One eight-foot steel windmill furnishes
the water for two hundred large trees,
many small trees and shrubs lately set
out in the house yard, and snail gar
den in summer, besides plenty of good
fresh water which is carried by under
ground pipes to the corral for the stock.
In the winter months and during per-
iods of natural moisture, the water is
used to soak the ground in the orchard,
reserving the water available during the
dry spells for the shallow rooted plants

emperor is a typical Hohenzollern, in
disposition, if not in achievement.
1t is a long way back to the first
Hohenzollern of note. He was GER
tain Count Thassilo, who lived about
the beginning of the ninth century. The
on the Zollern heights, whence his de-
scendants derived their name. In the
eleventh century the family became split
into two branches. The representative
of the younger branch, who was the
first burgrave of Nuremburg, purchased
the rnargravate of Brandenburg from
the impecuniouS Holy Roman Emperor
Sigismond, and founded the family for
tunes.
Hohenzollern supplies us with a series
of extraordinary instances of the trans
mission of certain mental and moral
traits from generation to generation,
which have been a part of the bone and
sinews of the race for the last eight
hundred years.
The Hohenzollerns are of Suabian
origin, and that region has a we'll es
tablished reputation for being the hone

generally by rulers of the Ho-
henzollern line as to make the ex-
ceptions almost more forcibly illustrate
the rule. 1t is true that the first genius
who appeared in the line of descent,
Frederick the Great, was an exception,
but even he, although possessed of ex-
shrewdness to acquire the title of King
of Prussia from the impecunious EN-
peror Leopold. Since that occurrence
each succeeding Hohenzollern has
added his mite toward upbuilding the
power of Prussia, whilst other royal

Paris, Feb. 15.-Doctor Unschutz-

confer with some French scientists who
will accompany the party next year.

He will go as far north as possible IN
an ordinary arctic vessel then with his
submarine boat he hopes to reach the
pole in four days, breathing oxygen re-

houses gained power by the help OF the
French against their own people.
To understand correctly the position
of the HohenzollernS today, one must
study the past, and not more partic-
ularly in regard to what they did than
to what they purposely RETAINED from
doing.
1t may justly be asserted that weigh
ed impartially by their virtues and their
shortcomings, they were far superior to
the occupants of other European
thrones.
The court of the Hohenzollerns was
peculiarly clean and free from veniality,
or worse faint. But freedom from ras-
cality was not the only conspicuous
themselves true to the greatest motto of
them all-that the king is first servant
of the state. 1t was the constant ambi-
ton of these sovereignS to work out the
development and welfare of the nation,
Independent of class distinctions. This
the people have always felt, from the
humblest upwards No better example

when that monarch threatened to eX-
propriate him unjustly: There are still
judges in Berlin, your majesty"
The Hohenzollerns, at the commence
ment of the last century, were introduce
ing compulsory education amid the de-
risive SneerS of rival nations and abol-
ishing Serfdom among the agricultural
class by assisting peasant farmers to eX-

new industrial directions and economic
measures for the welfare of the masses.

The extremes of temperature are not
so great, hot winds not so void of mois-
ture nor winter blizzards so piercing
and extremely cold. Years ago the pre-
vailing directions of winds was nortn-
west and southwest; now the seVeral
directions are sometimes equally rep
resented during month. Northwest
and southwest winds then generally
brought clear, dry, windy weather; now
some of the biggest rains come from
westerly directions, and clear weather
cannot always be expected when the
wind is westerly.
In 1891 Mr.. Rich conceived the idea
of irrigating by means of windmlhS:
People ridiculed the idea, and windmllt
men said it was impossible to make
mills strong enough for western hanT
sas winds. But on the Eureka ranch
are orchards and gardens and water
flowing down the rows of trees. There
is nothing to do but admit the under
taking a success. In the orchard are
many of the standard varieties of fruit
trees, protected from the south and
southwest winds by a fine row of pines
and cedars, and by numerous other
trees on the north. Many of the fruit
trees are now in bearing, the proof or

He said he intended to commence OPP

cable rates one-half, and would after
wards reduce the rates for short dis

greeting to the Bethel mothers, whose
stanch friend she has always been,
with a few earnest words of encour-
agement for them in their winters
