FACTORY is A WINNER.
Minnesota State Twlne Plant Makes Big

The state twine factory which is
maintained in the Minnesota state
prison at Saltwater. Mimi, has turn
ed over half million dollars to the
state treasury since the first of August
IL turned in to the state auditor $500 :

collections of the twine plant The
total collections for November were
SS9U' 2l7 IL and since Aug. 1 they have
been S5O5. i59 07. IL will be remember
ed that Senator Moriarty strongly sup.
ported the institution Of twine fac
tory by the state of Michigan at the
jackson prison in the Legislature last
winter and did succeed by his own
personal effort in passing the bill
through the senate The measure was
killed in the house, principally be-
cause of the big appropriation IL car
ried which would have swelled the total
appropriations already made TO such
size that the house members feared the
result when the people came TO pay
their taxes.

MARKET CONDITIONS
ARE MUCH BETTER.
1T SEEMS AS If BOTTOM HAS BEEN
REACHED IN SOME LINES.
IRON BUSINESS IS EXPANDING.
Mills In Pennsylvania Take On Men Again.
and Buying Of Finished Iron Is
Much Brisker.

There is turn noticeable in general
market conditions that BODIES much
better forf the country at large than
the business horoscope has foretold
since the beginning of this year. 1t
must not be- understood that the in
dications are that we are on the up
grade of another boom period Indeed,
all the signs and conditions are TO the
contrary. 1t is rather an indication
that rock bottom has been reached and
that general business will rest thereon
from This time on until another inha-
tion period buby the structure up in
the air again J J Hill and other men
prominent in legitimate business, give
il as their opinion that the period Of
depression is by no means over with
but that the railroads and other in
dustrial will continue TO show de-
creased return in the earning columns
or some time to come This is but a
natural sequence Of the restrictions
which have come about in business
gradually percolating through all lines
When this sympathetic contraction
is over with the up grade will
be tackled again
Iron was the first TO feel the slump
consequently it is the first to strike
bottom Reports from Pittsburg and
other centers seem to indicae a re-
sumption Of work at many mills under
the reduced conditions OF price,, wages
etc. A dispatch on Wednesday says
that.
The present indications are that
within week or ten days nearly every
industry in Braddock, Homestead, and
the Turtle Greek valley will be work
ing double time, with q full compile
ment of men. Men in the Howard
Axle works and the Mesta Mach ne
company's plant in Homestead are
being called back to work as orders
are fast accommodating Nearly all Of
the l. 600 men laid of several weeks
ago at the Westinghouse Electric COM
panys plant in East Pittsburg are
again at work and more are being
hired. Many Of the smaller manufaat-
uring concerns will resume next week.
che presidents and other subsidiary
officers of the underlying companies in
the United States Steel corporation
met at Pittsburg on Wednesday and
il generally is admitted that com
mittees have been at work formulating
scales Of reductions which may 20
into effect on Jan. l., ranging from 10
to 35 per cent.
There is one very benecfial effect to
the men OF the mining districts result
ing from the advent here OF the Steel
people and that is stable scale of
wages. We understand that il is the
intention Of the Steel people to set
wages at the beginning OF the year
and that they will not be lowered dur
ing the year, unless, OF course. some
great disturbance should make it inn
perative that change of schedule be
made This plan WILL without doubt,
be copied, TO a very great extent, by
the independent companies and man
knows on Jan 1sr what his wages will
be during the year, whereas, under
the old arrangement he didn't know
today what tomorrow would bring.

Mayor Becker yesterday held Il con-
ference with Chief Martens. at which
the chief was instructed to see that
the dance halls in the teuderloin dis
trict. notably the Manwaring and
Iowa theatre halls. were closed down.
The mayor stated that as the hack
drivers dance had been arranged for
some time ago and advertised to oc-
cur last evening. he had concluded not
TO forbid it. But it was the last dance
he intended TO be allowed in the Latin
quarter. The order bars dance music
as well. Mayor Becker states that he
believes music is one of the attrac-
tions that tends to draw the girls and
women into the saloons and wine
rooms. and that his aim is to get the
women out of the saloons and keep
them away from them. Mayor Becker
believes that the closing of the dance
halls and the enforcement of the wo-
men from the saloons will be power
ful agent in effecting the closing of
the saloons at midnight. Many sa-
looms he stated are now closing at
midnight or earlier. Those that keep
their doors open later are the ones
that have had the wine rooms or
dance halls in connection, which held
the patrons of the bar to Il later hour.
With the looping of these side at
fractions he thinks earlier closing
will be the result.
