FORESTRY.

$. While our country excels in many
branches Of industry, it is outstripped by
many other nations in the care and devel-
oprnent Of its forests. The value Of the
forests as actual wealth, their usefulness
in giving increased water supply; the
great advantage in adding to the beauty
of the landscape and their healthgiving
qualities need not be argued, but only
mentioned.
Every one recognizes the great necessity
of securing forest areas in our state. The
very fact that nature has been so bountifui
seems to have encouraged Wastefulness.
Minnesota can justly claim credit among
her sister states for what she has done to
preserve her forests and encourage devel-
sopment. Bounties have been given for
nearly thirty years I to- encourage tree
planting on the prairies, and nearly $780,
900 has been thus wisely expended. For
eight years a system for the prevention OF
forest fires has been in operation with
most excellent results. During this period
while disastrous forest fires have occurred
in other states Minnesota has wholly es-
Icaped.
The establishment Of a forest reserve
Eof two hundred thousand acres on the
Chippewa reservation is to be commended,
and so should any measure which has for
its object the creation of other parks and
reserves. 3s@S
It IS estimated that there are now about
thirty billion feet of standing pine tim
/ Der within the state, nearly all Of which
is in private hands, and which will be cut
and marketed within the next. fifteen
years. After this time we will have to
ship in our lumber from other states or
teouftries, unless We show a4Swiset Fore
/ sight. and thus make our state independef,t
OF outside supply and save to our people

STATE PRISON AND BINDING TWlNE
81 ANT /.

Owing to public criticism concerning the
management Of the state prison. and espe-
cially OF the binding twine plant, as soon
as it was possible to make a change, Hon.
Henry Wolfer was reappointed warden.
The new management took immediate
steps to remedy some of the evils COM
planned Of. That it was most successfully
accomplished is shown by the following
facts: ~"
During 1901 there was manufactured,
in round numbers, 100000 pounds or
Irvine. This was sold at an average OF
about two cents per pound below the
prices at which Irvine of equal grade and
quality was sold by jobbers and nnanufac-
turers to the dealers Of the state, which
would make an actual saving OF $lo0,Oo0
to purchasers of prison Irvine. ..
The profit to the state on binding Irvine,
in round numbers, was $53,0Oo.
The showing for 1902 gives better re-
suits than the preceding season. Amount
manufactured, 100000 pounds The
Irvine was sold at IA cents per pouno
cheaper than Irvine sold by jobbers. Inns
will prove an actual saving Of $125,OOO tc
the farmers of Minnesota VINO purcnaseo
! Irvine the present season, and II you con.
slider the reduced price, at least one cent
per pound, of all Irvine sold In the state
some $4,000, 900 pounds, caused by compe-
tition with prison Irvine, there IS a tur'
Their saving of $180,00O, or total Tor the
year of $3O5,000.
Not only has the twine been Of a SUI
| perior quality and thus great saving &c
| the purchaser resulted, but there has been
| a. clear saving to the state of $4,000
which, added to the $4,000, makes a clear
gain in two years in favor Of twine plant
| of s97 900. -.
This splendid showing was made pos
sible by the adoption of business methods
| and placing at the head of the prison {
| thorough business man and one who fully
! understands the duties required OF him
So we'll has the Irvine plant been man
| aged that there is now to the credit O.
the revolving fund 100000. .
The financial showing for the entire
| prison, too is most excellent, as will
| be seen from the following statement:
For 1900 there was deficit Of $51 50 TO-
each convict. .....
For 1901, 1882, while for 1902, the yea
wholly under the management OF Wardel
/ Wolfer, there was a gain of ,$7O.57 TO
every prisoner in the institution.
i I have, gone somewhat into detail il
order that you may be advised as to tn
a excellent record made in the state prison
during the past4 two years. Z; ... ID. =
The prison is overcrowded and addi
tional cellroom must be provided for a

NATIONAL GUARD.

= The system of inspecting the national
guard in camp, inaugurated last year, has
aroused more interest in the performance
of duty and induced better attendance, en-
failing, however, an Increase in the cost
Of encampments. Necessary improve
ments and additional buildings authorized
by the legislature have been erected on
the camp grounds; rife practice has also
been stimulated by more liberal allow
ances of ammunition and ordnance on the
part of the federal government. But the
expense at these camps Of advanced rifle
practice and the maintenance of buildings
on the camp grounds has been betrayed
entirely from the national guard fund
proper, and threatens to seriously impair
the efficiency Of the service unless the
legislature makes provision for this in
creased attendance at the camp, for the
maintenance of the buildings on the
grounds, and for the necessary rifle prac-

vrcksRuRe Commission

The legislature of 1902 passed an act
for the appointment of four commission
ers Ito cooperate with the National Park
commission in ascertaining and exactly
determining the positions Of Minnesota
troops and organizations in the siege Of
Vicksburg, and also to recommend to the
governor of the state such subsequent
legislation as will, in the opinion of the
commission, permanently and suitably
mark the position of such troops so as
certafned and worthily commemorate the
valor and services of Minnesota soldiers
in the campaign and siege Of Vicksburg.' .
The commission was composed of the
following gentlemen: General John B.
Sanborn, General L. F. Hubbard, General
G.: c. Andrews and Captain Henry S. Hun
ter, a representative of each Minnesota
regiment and Of the battery engaged in
the battles in the vicinity of Vicksburg.
! These gentlemen met July 4th, in Vicks-
burg and organized by electing General
Sanborn, president, and General Andrews
secretary. After a. careful survey of the
field and "a personal examination of the
park, the position were located. .5
In closing their report the commission
makes the following recommendations:
| We therefore respectfully recommend that
your excellency in your next message to the
legislature ask for appropriate ton of $25. 900
| to. be expended in the erection of suitable
monument in Vicksbnrg National Park, to com
|
dfcrs that rendered military services in that
campaign and those who fell in the assault,
and seige of Vicksburg in 1862 and an addi.
tional Appropriation OF $4,000 for the erection
Of three permanent bronze tablets, suitably. in.
| scrihed,--one upon Baldwin's Ferry road on the
ispot or near where the officers and soldiers OF
tile Fourth Minnesota infantry fell on May %,
1863; one on the graveyard road near the
| enemy's treGam, where the Fifth Minnesota In.
fantry made its assault and third designating
| tho principal position occupied by the First

GROSS EARNINGS LAW

A matter of much Importance and one
in which the people of our state are great
ly interested will, WITHOUT doubt, enlist
your attention. refer to the gross earn
ings system under which railway compa-
MES pay into the state treasury, In lieu
of taxes, 3 per cent of their gross earn
ings. Our state seems committed to this
policy. and the simple question for your
consideration is, should the rate now fixed
by law be increased? At the last. gen
eral session of your body, after the most
careful elaboration and thorough discus
sion, it was concluded that the rate should
be changed from per ceit to per cent,
and a law to that effect was passed. This
law could not, however, take effect and
be in force unless the same was adopted
of the state voting at the election at
which the same was submitted.
Pursuant to this requirement of the con-
titutton, the law referred tawas submit
ted to the electors Of our state at the
general election held on the 4th day of
| November last. The required majority
| was not received This result is, how
! ever, not to be regarded as an expression
| of the people against the measure. 1t
| was due to the fact that many of the yot-
! ers did not vote upon this important
measure because their attention had not
| been called specifically to it, and its inn
! port was not sufficiently understood; and
also the fact that the measure appeared
| upon the general ballot, which led to over
| sight and confusion on the part of the
| voters; and from the further fact that
| great doubt existed in the minds of elect
ors whether the measure as, submitted did
! increase the revenue or not. This result

dred more creameries and twenty-five
more cheese factories are now In opera

creanleries and one hundred cheese fac
tories have been inspected once and many
of them twice during the biennial period,
and the excellence Of the dairy products
is in large measure due to the efforts
Of the department in assisting creamery

should be cur efforts to dot everyone Of
Minnesota's eighty -four counties with
creameries, especially in the twenty-one
in which none are now in operation. No
better or more promising dairy field is
now open to the energetic husbandman
than in northern Minnesota, which with
it's healthful climate. pure water and lux

Great credit. too. is due this department,

rrhe number of wards of the state will
increase with our growth and we must
provide for their care and maintenance.
It is a problem difficult of solution, and
in this connection desire to quote from
my message of two years ago:
4 particularly call your attention to the pro-
posed law which the board urges your honor
K able body to enact requiring each county from
which patients are committed to pay $1.50 per
week for each patient for the purpose of par
tally defraying the expense of his care and
maintenance While this would not to any
great extent decrease the cost, it might have
d tendency to the exercise of greater caution
in making commitments. Other states have
similar laws and am informed that good re-
suits follow. Many times mildly insane pa
fients who could and should be cared for at
home by friends and relatives are sent to our
\ hospitals. Under the policy of paying the whole
expense for the care of the insane regardless
bf their financial condition great abuses have
Il arisen for often weak minded persons or those
who are old and feeble, being somewhat de-
nnented are permitted to become inmates of these
institutions, whereas they should have been
cared fort those who are in duty bound to
support them and have been sent to- our
hospitals. This practice must in some way be
i stopped.

the course outlined above can be adopted

The NEW cAHl1oL

THE NEW CAPITOL
The work on our new capitol has not
progressed as rapidly as was anticipated.
1t was confidently expected that this leg
islature would assemble in the new build
ing, and that the sum appropriated by the
last legislature would be sufficient to
complete the structure. While the work
has progressed as rapidly as possible un-
der the circumstances, it will take eigh-
teen months more to complete it and the
amount of money necessary, to do the
work as suggested by the commission will
amount to s1,5o0000. This includes the
entire cost Of completion for occupancy,
and also the purchase price of the neces-
sary piece of real estate at the southeast
corner Of the present site.
There are many reasons for the delay
and the increased expense; for the exact
information and data I refer you to the
report of the commission. Prices OF labor
and material have greatly advanced; con-
tractors having plenty of work were slow
to bid, thus lessening competition, and
when bids were received they were often
so high that rejection was necessary. New
plans had to be prepared looking toward
more economy of construction in order
to come within the appropriation. This
took time and every article used or to be
used was increasing in price. These are
some Of the difficulties under which the
commission had to labor. Much progress,
| however, has been made. The dome has
been completed; the grand entrance steps
and platform, and walls and balustrades
Quilt of Minnesota granite) are nearly
finished. Roofing and skylights, interior
tireproof floors and partition walls are in
place, the structural work being thus
completed.
The building is enclosed and the steam
plant Is furnishing sufficient heat to en-
able work to progress during the winter,
and plastering and lighting equipments are
| now in progress. ( ~ -
| 1 would recommend that the amount
deemed necessary to finish the capitol be
1 appropriated. This will be sufficient to
do this and complete the interior to cor
respond with the beautiful exterior. This
| edifce, if finished as contemplated with
Minnesota. stone and marble, will COM
pare favorably with any state building
of like character in the United States.
Our capitol should be the pride OF every
citizen of the commonwealth, and in order
that it may be, it should be completed
| as designed by the architect and recon-
mended by the commission. The sum
should not only be appropriated but ap-
propriated early in the session, SO that
the commission may at once accept bids
already submitted and thus complete the
building in the shortest period of time.
The building should be prepared for oc-
Icupancy as soon as possible, for many Of
our state departm ents, such as the board
of health, the board Of railroad and
warehouse commissioners and the board
fof control, are located some distance from
;, the. present capitol building, thereby
causing great expense and at the same
business of the state. With sufficient
funds provided, there Is no reason why
the new capitol should not be completed
and ready for occupancy July 4, 1904.
