Des Moines, June 24.-The quarterly
conference Of the heads of state insti-
| tutions as being held with the state
board of control today. DR.. Hill will be

the new superintendent Of the state

perntendent of the hospital at Chero-
kee, is present, this being his first trip
back to Des Moines since he went to
| Cherokee early in the spring to over
see the finishing work at the new hos
pital. He reports having been very
busy all the time getting ready for the
opening of that hospital. It has been
foregone conclusion for several months
| that the opening could not take place
until late in the summer and it is prob
able that no patients will be received
! before the first of September. The main
| contractor has finished and most of the
furnishings are in place, but much of
the machinery is yet to be placed and
| there are always delays at the last. The
administration building will be so far
completed that the superintendent and
his family can move in in about two
weeks. DR.. Voldeng has just completed
the list of appointments to positions at
the hospital This has been quite a
| onn1iponfS
for the positions and he has taken great

The Associated Press went wrong in
reporting that Governor Cummlns is TO
be one of the party that will go to Can
ada and make a purchase OF land. He
got an invitation to be one of the land
speculators, but did not go. The gov
Lernor is interested in land in northern
Minnesota, but he has not invested IN
Canada. However, quite a number OF
persons have invested in Canadian soil
and a good deal of Iowa money has
gone that way. Yesterday a Des Moines
syndicate in which e. III. Hunter is an
Interested party closed a deal for the
purchase of 10000 acres of Canadian
land in three adjoining townships in
Assiniboia, near the town of GainSbor-
cugh 1t is in the wheat belt. Since
the options were secured an advance of
as much as $3.50 an acre has been Of
fered for some of the land. This deal
illustrates what is happening frequent
liz. for not less than dozen Des Moines
men have gone to Canada to invest in
lands the past year.
The arrangements are now almost
complete for the transportation of the
companies of the Fifty-second regi-
ment to camp at Fonda. The two Sioux
City companies go on regular train
on the Illinois Central. The company
from Hampton will go down on the
Iowa Central to Ackley on the regular
train and then go on a special direct to
Fonda, picking up the Webster City
and Fort Dodge companies on the way.
The Milwaukee will carry the other
companies. Boone will go around by
Madrid and go on a special that will
take the companies from Perry and Sac
City, The northern companies. from
Mason City. Algona, Emmetsburg and
Sheldon, will go ON specials over the
Milwaukee to camp. The camp at
Fonda will be out on the prairie, but
there is an abundance of good water.
The prospect is good for some lively
bidding on the Homestead property |
when the sale takes place. Judge Ladd
has made the decree so that 1t VIII be
sold within thirty days after advertised
by the commissioner. The property is
owned half by James M. Pierce and
half by S. T. Stewart, of Evanston, ILL.,,
and both will be bidders. Pierce 10 In
