PtDDltR LAW KNOCKED our

Winona, Minn., May 29.-The first
round in the case brought to test the
constitutionality Of the state peddlers'
license law, which was passed by the
last legislature and which became ef-
fective April 10 last, closed yester-
day, when Judge Arthur H. Snow Of
the district court handed down a de-
cision In the case OF the state VS.. F..
R. Muhdeking, holding that the law is
unconstitutional. He cites three rea-
sons for his findings in favor Of the
peddlers.
First the court finds the law uncon-
stitutional because 1t exempts from
license all who sell that which they
themselves produce or grow; second,
he says the law is invalid because it
exempts permanent merchants who
solicit orders for the sale of their
goods in their home county and ad-
Joining ones, while, according to it's
provisions, those who offer for sale
goods for future or present delivery
are required to secure license
thirdly, Judge Snow declares that the
exemption from license of peddlers
In st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth is
class legislation. and therefore the act
is unconstitutional and invalid.

BIG DRAINAGE DITCH,
Work Will Reclaim Much Valuable
Farm Land Near Memo.


Work has commenced on the con.

ditch will necessitate the removal of
about $4,000 wagon loads of earth.

1866 acres of valuable farm land. The
lake will be drained by the ditch, and
the land now covered by it as we'll as
other land which has been flooded by
the high water in the lake will be re-
claimed and made to produce crops.
In 1894 the lake dried up entirely, but
recent years Of heavy rains and deep
snowfall have filed it to depth OF
about six feet in the main part. In
some places the drainage ditch will
be ten feet in depth. The ditch will
be nearly twentyfour feet wide at the
top and four feet at the bottom in the
deepest part. 1t is expected the drain
age ditch will be completed about the
middle Of July. A ditching machine
with a steam shovel attachment is be-
ing utilized in the construction Of the
ditch. The shovel has a capacity of
one wagon load Of dirt per minute.
The work of constructing the immense
ditch is being done by dredge COM
pany, which has it's headquarters at

HOW rWINE is MANUFACTURED.
something About the Process by
Which tho Product Is Turned Out at
PenitentIary.


Which the Product Is Turned Out at
PenitentIary.
The twlne factory at the state peni.
tentiary is running every day at about
half its capacity, the output being
limited by the number Of skilled Ia
borers that are available to work in
the new plant. New men are being
broken in, and when there are enough
to run the plant to it's full capacity
tve tons Of twine will be turned out
every day. At present the plant is
turning out $500 pounds of twine a
day.
The building in which the plant is
located is substantially built, contain
Ing two stories and boiler room
basement. The boilers have capacity
for furnishing power, heat and light
for the entire penitentiary, and the
old power house will be discontinued.
At the present time, however, electric
power Is used from the Sioux Falls
Light and Power company, but when
the plant Is running to its full capac-
1ty and the buildings have to be heat
ed the big 225 horse power Corliss
engine will be started up and the
plant will produce its own power.
TWine Is made from two classes OF
raw material, manila and sisal. This
fiber Is shipped in bulk and runs
through nine machines before it is
ready for the weaving room. These
machines break and comb the fiber
and reduce it to the proper size to
weave into the twine. 1t then goes
into the weaving room, where the
process is very simple, consisting sim
ply in twisting the strands of fiber
into twins. There are fifty spinning
machines on the upper floor Of the
plant.
The manila fiber is superior to the
sisal, but the latter Is popular among
farmers who imagine that it is not at
tackled SO readily by crickets. 1t is q
coarser twine and makes 500 feet OF
twine to the pound, while the manila
makes $50 feet to the pound. The
manila comes from the Philippines
and the sisal from Yucatan.
OuuST the law lne warden may sell
the twine to dealers after the first Of
May, but there is nothing to prevent
him selling direct to consumers at any
time. After June Is he can close out
all twine on hand to any resident of
the state. Prices are as follows:
Standard, 500 feet to pound. cents;
white sisal, 500 feet to pound, 7
cents; standard manila, $50 feet to
pound. cents; manila, 600 feet to
pound, 8 cents; pure manila, $50 feet
to pound, 10 Ia cents.
From these prices a quarter of
cent is deducted for sales in carload
lots.
The twine plant IS provided with an
automatic sprinkling fire extinguisher
which reduces the danger of fire so
that it pays for itself in less cost of
fire insurance in few years. When
the temperature in the room is at
certain height, the water is automatic
ally released and sprinkles everything
near.
