BuILD NEW sIIO.

jamestown. n. D.. Aug. 22.-The
board of control reports new silos
about completed at the state hospital
in jamestown at the reform school at
Mandan and at the asylum for the
feeble minded at Grafton. This is
the second silo at the asylum in
jamestown. There is also one at the
school for the deaf and one at thu
penitentiary. Three ensilage cutters
have been purchased and are to be
used at the jamestown, Mandan and
Grafton institutions.
A new gasoline tractor, t%wenty-four
horse power has been purchased for
the asylum and will he used both for
blowing and threshing.
A new full equipment has also been
purchased for the asylum. consisting
of a managle dry tumbler. sterlizing
washer wringer and other things in
the line Of machinery. This announced
to $4,000. Owing. to the rapid in
crease in the population OF the insti-
tuition this has been necessary.
The new ward building will be COM
pleted about September 1, and will re-
lieve the congested condition of the
hospital somewhat, though. a crowded
condition will still exist. The normal
capacity Of the entire institution is
about 500 but now is caring for s15.
The normal capacity of this new ward
will be about 100, though it will he
necessary to crowd more than that
number into the building.
