ton farms do not pay better; why
more work is not exacted from the in
mates, and why the boys training
school at Red Wing is not transferred
to some other point. Mr.. Fritz does
not hold all of these things against
the board; he is simply puzzled why
they are So This is the only Demo
cratic board on the state HIST and this
probably explains few things. The

The use of the public examiners
department in bringing out disagree
able things and making them public
record began back in Sam Johnson S
time, when former State Auditor r.
C. Dunn was made the beneficiary of
a lot of insinuations that entered
heavily into the war waged against
him by his political enemies when he
ran for governor The late Tony
Schafer wasaalso strong on going out
side the question of dollars and cents.
though it could be said that the criti-
cisms INDUCED in by him where not
because of malice or politics. When
Julius Block was state treasurer an
attempt was made to use the public
examiners department to the extent
of so questioning a law, under which
the treasurer's office was operating,
that it would reflect on Mr.. Block. E.
T. Young was then attorney general
and when the report was brought to
him to sign he refused and accom-
panied his refusal with letter Sc
verely arraigning the public examiner
for going beyond what the law pro-
vided. rs the money there, was II
expended properly, are the books
right, are they well kept? is what you
have to do" wrote Mr.. Young. THAT

days week in st. Paul meeting mem
bers and pertaining their wishes in
the matter of committeeships

Comment upon the attack on the
speakership would not be complete
without the story now going the
rounds to the effect that Rines, as a
part of his present ambitions, has his
eye on the state authorship; that
Sam lverson, the present incumbent,
is going after the goVernorship, and
that Alex James, a member of the
state legal department from Pipestone,
wants to succeed to the head of the
department How all this dovetails
In the present controversy is beyond
me, but they say the whole thing has
connection. Rines was at one time
mentioned for lieutenant governor. AS

Every taxpayer in the state can not
but feel proud of the record just made
by the binding Irvine plant ut the
state prison. Warden Wolfer has
turned the last of the receipts OF the
year from the industry into the state
treasury, making a total from Aug.
of over $1,200,000. For the same
period year ago the revenue from
this source was trif1e over 100000.
In another year the prison will be
turning out farming implements by

fit of the harvester trust either.

PREPARING NEXT
SUMMERS WORK

The engineering departments of the
local railroads are busy with their
plans for Improvements to be made
along the line during the summer
months The appropriations for the
various kinds of work have been ask
cd for and the work to be done must
be kept within the limit Of that which
is granted.
Although it is not expected that any
large improvements will be made In
this territory during the coming sea-
son, the regular summers work must
be taken care of in order to keep the
property in good shape. New cross
ties and rails must be laid, bridges
repaired, roadbeds filled in and other
work looked after by the maintenance
of way department
Very little work is being done by
this department at the present time
on account of the bad weather. Moth
ing can be done with the roadbed on
account of the frosts and water, which
eats its way into new work and makes
it worse than before This must be
let lay over until warm weather, at
which time all other improvements
must be made.
The several divisions have already
asked for the number of cross ties
and rails which they must have for
the year. Under the requirements Of
the division the allotment for the sys-
tenn is made The rails are then or
dered and each division gets the
amount asked for.
Several hundred additional section
men will be employed in this terri
tory as soon as the weather opens
and the hours Of the men will be
heightened from eight to ten.

OPERATORS WANT
WAGE INCREASE
Reported ?. R. n. Wire Men
Will. Ask for
Raise

1t is reported that the Order Of
Railway Telegraphers will shortly
present demand to the management
Of the Pennsylvania railroad for an
Increase Of ten per cent. in the wages.
Local members of the organization are
retieent concerning any Of their plans.
Meetings are being told at various
parts Of the system, but the telegr-
piers say it is merely for the purpose
pf getting the men together. J. f..
Miller, Of Baltimore. general chairman
Of the committee on the Pennsylvania
lines, attended series of meetings
last week at York, from where the
latest report concerning the proposed
demand for an advance comes. The
baltimore division telegraphers will
meet again IN Baltimore next month.
For some time past the Order OF
Railroad Telegraphers has been striv-
ing to obtain an increase in wages
for its members Resolutions have
been adopted by various division locals
and the action of the Baltimore diyi-
sion Representatives was along the line
OF that decided upon by other branches
on the lines east of Pittsburgh and
Erie.
The renewed activity toward a wage
increase among the operators is part
" because of an increase given tele-
graphers on the Western Maryland
and Philadelphia and Reading Railway
lines recently. it is believed. The
Western Maryland men had been ask
ing for more pay for long time. Sew
eral days ago an increase of s per cent.
to affect all manner of telegraphers
was granted by the company.
