OUTPUT
GREATER THAN
THAT OF 1927
More Than Six Million Pounds
Made This Ycar-Plant
Has Nice Surplus

When the annual accounting is
made at the state penitentiary this
year the books will show that more
than six million pounds Of twine
have been manufactured and mar
keted, according to Bruce Murphy,
secretary Of the North Dakota twine
and cordage plant.
An average of about 95 men have
been employed in the plant through
out the year, Murphy said, which
includes 16 men who are employed
by the state as guards, instructors
and engineers. The remainder are
convicts.
The production this year will be
about 1,250,O00 pounds more than
in 1927, Murphy said. when
5000, 900 pounds Of twine and rope
were manufactured. The rope mar
keted by the institution is a small
item. Most of it is from inferior
material and is used for binding
bales of twine. Occasionally, how
ever. when the twine storeroom is
we'll stocked, a carload of rope is
manufactured and sold.
Nice Surplus Amassed
Although the low cost ~ labor
has enabled the penitentiary to mar
ket its products at little more than
cost, a surplus of $3.50. 900 has been
built up since the plant began
operating, Murphy said. Besides
this, the profits from the plant have
been used to provide new dairy
barns, new officers quarters, poul-
try houses and a tract of land for
the farm at the institution.
"When the plant was built in
1900," Murphy said, "bonds were
issued to cover the complete cost OF
construction. These have long ago
been retired and the present value
Of the plant is set at $750.OOO.
"From 1900 up to 1928, a total
of 74,739, $50 pounds Of twine was
manufactured and sold by the
penitentiary. This included prod
ucts of three gradcs-standard,
manila, and best manila. In this
state aud throughout the Northwest,
by far the biggest market is for
the regular manila grade, which IS
durable and sells at low price"
Binder twine is made from
various kinds Of hard fibres, he ex-
planned, with the most common the
manila hemp, which is imported
from the Philippine Islands. Other
products used in the manufacture
are New Zealand hemp, African
sisal and Mexican sisal.

Dunn county is thoroughly sold on
Thorstein H. Thoresen, Republican
candidate for governor endorsed by
the Nonpartisan League. and his
running mates.
1t gave him and the state candi-
dates running with him on the
ticket a royal welcome at a home
coming celebration in honor OF his
nomination for the governorship
Saturday, for it has known him a
long time IS the years are measured
in q new country.
Its welcome to Lars j. Siljan,
Thorcsen's running mate for state
auditor, was less formal, but none
the less sincere.
Farmers waited about to shake
hands with Senator Lynn J. Frazier
and to remind him they were among
the original dollar suckers" and
that they have not changed their
minds. The crowd also gave Berta
f. Baker. candidate for state treas
urer, and S A. Olsncss, insurance
commissioner, an old-feshioned
western welcome.
The Manning bend dedicated a
special number to Senator Frazier,
Among My Souvenirs" A crowd
that packed the community theatre
rose to cheer wher Thoresen was
introduced at the end of the well
come program BY Representative
Clarence Lee. 1t fingered to shake
hands with Governor Sorlie, who
made the principal speech Of the
day and gave to Thoresen his un-
qualified endorsement.
Thoresen Tribute Cheered
It cheered Senator Frazier's fine
tribute to Thoresen in brief speech
and it gave itself over to q great
demonstration when the senator de-
clared that Thoresen is the kind OF
a man who cannot be bought, bribed
or bluffed, in an appeal for support
of the entire state ticket.
Then it gave itself over to in
formal entertainment of it's guests
of honors. Lars Siljan, who lived
several years in Drnn county as ed
itor of the Dunn Center newspaper
insists that in every undertaking ia
which Dunn county sets it's hands
every man is 10000. On that basis
he insists that Dunn Center is a
city of 100000. 1t isn't such a bad
measure of Dunn county's hospital.

BODIES OF 80
ARE TAKEN OUT
AFTER BLAST
Explosion Late Saturday
Traps 211 Workers in Penn
sylvania Mine
CAUSE WILL BE PROBED
Experts Give Up Hope of Re-
turning Any of the Others
to Surface Alive
CAUSE WILL BE PROBED

Mather, Pa, May 21.-R-With
bodies of 80 miners recovered and
taken to the homes of their kin,
rescue teams from various sections
of the soft coal belt carried on today
in an effort to reach the 169 men
still entombed in Mather mine,
where an explosion on Saturday
trapped 211 workers behind piles of
coal and slate.
A coroncr's jury comprising six
men and augmented by inspectors
from the state bureau of mines was
ordered to delve into the cause Of
the blast.
Except for crowds Of curious,
Mather today was the usual quiet
little mining town. Relatives Of
miners still trapped in the UNDER
ground workings, while foregoing
their usual daily pursuits, did not
display any outward emotion. Dry
eyed and hopeful, they awaited word
of their loved ones.
Mine rescue experts gave up hope
of returning any men to the sur
face alive, and while this feeling
was secretly shared by wives,
mothers and children of the en-
tombed miners, outwardly they
buoyed their hopes on other dis
asters where men were taken alive
from mines several days after an
explosion.
Two elderly people, who had stood
at the mine tipple since the news
Of the blast was broadcast, let it be
known today that they had four
sons inside the mine. Andy Boots
and his three brothers obtained
work at the Mathe1. mine Saturday
morning and reported for their first
labor with the i'll fated shift. It
was their parents who awaited
news.
The explosion occurred at what
is known as the 14th and 18th butts
off the main channel:
Bodies Mutilated
Several of the bodies recovered
were decapitated, minus arms ana
legs, or in other ways mutilated.
Brass workers checks in many cases
were the only means Of identifica-
tion.
A feature of the Mather mine was
the large number OF English speak
ing miners employed. Most mines
in this region, since the open shop
has ruled, employed foreign labor
and a majority Of negroes. Math-
er was different in this respect. In
fact, the entire village is different
from the average mining settlement,
Tidv little cottages, clean streets.
we'll dressed children. and general
air of refinement are noticeable.
The mine was inspected .1arch IL
by state mine inspectors and at
that time the general condition Of
the working was found to be good.
