fi Safe Sure Reliable CAKE OF A STATE'S WARDS SECRETARY JACKSON'S RKI'ORT SHOWS WHAT IT COSTS EACH YEAR STATISTICS NOT DRY AT ALL Boaue Interesting Flirarea ShowiiiK Hon State School Imautea Are Fed for Seven Centa a Duy, nnd Soldiers'* 1 Home Htmrd«»rn Live Sumptuously on Fifteen Centa' AVorth of Food Every 1\ Hour*. Minnesota has just 5,491 wards In th< various correctional, charitable and penal Institutions of the state. This faot is given special significance by the annual report of Secretary Jackson, of the state board of correc tions and Charities, which was com pleted yesterday, giving the aggregate and detail cost of running the various Btate institutions and the per capita expt-n.se of keeping the state's charges In suitable hospitals, asylums and schools. While the figures, with one or two exceptions, show a decrease in the per capita cost of carrying on this work, there is a wide range between the in divi.lual cost of maintenance in the dif ferent institutions. The variance is accounted Cor hugely by the different mit i hods and appliances necessary to care for special classes of patients. For instance, it costs more to feed the blind than it does to sustain the deaf, as certain foods cannot be used In the Institution for the care of patients of the former class. The following table gives the total cost to the state of its institutions, with th-- exception of state university, over which the board of corrections and charities has no jurisdiction: Insane hospital at St. Peter $227,206 54 Insane hospital at Rochester 203,773 09 Insane hospital at Fergus Falls.. 22G.578 28 Total cost of insane hospitals $C(»,057 91 Soldiers home £3,485 47 School tor the deaf 69^695 03 tor thi blind 22,23.. 62 School for the feeble mluded .... 132,144 72 State public school 51^898 11 Stan- training school 73,609 21 Reformatory 85,900 19 State prison 339.316 15 Total cost of state institutions. sl,47B. 34s 41 The care of the state's wards has d the experimental stage, and at nl every institution is run on the most economic basis possible, without Impairing its efficiency. The average cost to the state per capita is about $170. In some Institutions it costs much more, and in others considerably governed to a great extent by the population of the institution. One of the nuitst important facts chronicled in late years by the state I ".aid is that it costs much less per capita to care for a large number than it d..es for a few. At the state prison lt cost, in ISH7, $139 per man, and for the year ending July 31, 1898, the cost to the state was reduced to $67. This, however, is quite unusual, and can be explained by the fact that it has great er facilities for employing its labor, and annually receives large amounts from that source. This year it was credited to the cost of maintenance, with the re sult of reducing very materially Its per capita expense. None of the state institutions are self-supporting, yet every year sees new schemes adopted for the profitable employment of the labor at their dis posal, and this partly recompenses the statt: for its liberal appropriations. retary Jackson's report gives the following comparative table of the per capita cost for the last two years: £«gas Falls g* *g* Fergus Falls 77777777777. ill IS Soldiers' home 204 i'is School for the deaf 777.777 2*W 200 School for the blind 286 *>t6 School for the feeble minded 187 158 Sraie public BChool 150 %*Z training school .... in JS Reformatory o^ ,-« Stste prison .'.* Ui Average for 1898, $176.

Still, with the ad- j vance in the cost of all food products during the last six months, theiv ha. been an increase of from one to one j and a quarter cents ptr man in nearly all the state institutions. At the slate training school, state public schools and all which care for minors, the cost has been figured as low as 7 cents per day. The soldiers' home leads the list, and is charged with 15.2 cents per day for each inmate for food. The lowest recorded for 1898 is the state school, which gives its in mates thr^e meals per day for 7 cents. The Insane asylums average about 11 cents and it costs 12 and 10 cents re spectively at the state prison and the reformatory for the daily subsistence of their prisoners. The state paid $7,051 for insurance to cover the state buildings. The general revenue fund at present hat? a large surplus and it ls not unlikely that the state may in the future carry its own Insurance by setting aside some of its surplus funds for this purpose. With the i: finance on the state university buildings and tbe capitol and various other property held by the state, lt pays annually, for the most part to foreign companies, about $12,000 per year for insurance. HELD UP A PAY ROLL Comptroller Mefardy Ties l'p .Tan- Itorn' Salaries for $."»0. At the meeting of the joint court house and city hall commission, held, last evening, lt was reported that Comptroller McCardy had held up the August pay roll for janitors and cus todian of the court house on the ap pointment of Frank Wettingil, as an extra city hall janitor. Wettingil was appointed for three months to take the place of a regular janitor, C. W. Doug las, whom the joint commission dele gated to do the repainting about the court house. The janitors get $50 a month and by its action the commis i >n figures that it is getting painting done for $50 a month that would ordinarily cost, perhaps, twice this amount, if done by a regularly employed painter. The commission considers their course on 3 of economy and indulged In some warm criticism of what was termed Comptroller McCardy's "headstrong"' pel icy. The county's half of the custodian's and janitors' pay has been received by the employes, It being only the half of the amount due from the city that is hold up. It was reported that Mr. Mc- Cardy had said that he had at his dis posal but $530 per month for janitor hire. The commission took no action in the matter, save to keep Wettingil on the pay roll and to refer the case to the city attorney. The committee expected to approve the contract for the new court house elevators, but whep thtTdooyment was read a confusion of figures led to its be ing referred back to the city attorney. The price accepted "by the commission was $7,123, but in the contract submit ted last evening the figures 1 were $7,523, making an apparent difference of $400. The contract was drawn up by the city attorney and bad been sent to Chicago where It was signed by the contractors and returned. The committee on buildings reported that accommodation had b^en found in the city hall for the fire board, j Commissioner Nelson reporting that I the chambers of the municipal court ; judges, ln the basement, would be de ! voted to this purpqse.

COST OF DAKOTA TRACKS EXPERTS TESTIFY IN THE NORTH DAKOTA RATI* CASE FARGO SOUTHERNS STANDING It I* AMNerted That It la Not Fair to l'ne It for a ll.i_.la of Con_i»arl_.oi_ With the Trunk Line* Their Trail..' Im Heavier and Their Equipment Neeeaaarlly More Cowtly. The hearing: of the North Dakota rate case, which was resumed at the offices of the Northern Pacific railway, con sumed all the day yesterday. The morning session was devoted to the Northern Pacific's side of the ease, and the afternoon session to witnesses for the Great Northern. Lawyers Bunn and tl rover represented the railways and Attorney General John F. Cowan, at North Dakota, appeared for the de fendant railway commissioners. Com missioner George H. Keyes was the only North Dakota official in attend ance. The defense was reinforced by Frank H. Irons, of Fargo, who advised regarding questions and matters of testimony. Assistant Chief Engineer W. L. Dar ling, of the Northern Pacific railway, who has been connected with railroad business since 1879, was questioned b> Mr. Bunn about the Fargo & Southern railway, a branch of the Chicago, Mil waukee and St. Paul. He said he made an examination of the ro:.d two months ago by bicycle and freight train; his purpose being to estimate what it would cost to reproduce it today. He thought it wouid cost $9,500 a mile, ex clusive of equipment. The grading of the road ls not above half that of the Northern Pacific. The country through which lt runs does not compare with the Red River "Val ley. He had also been over the Great Northern railway in North Dakota, and its construction was similar to that of the Northern Pacific. The grade across the Red River val ley, he said, ls much heavier than that of the Fargo & Southern. With respect to side-tracking, the Northern Pacific has much m. re than the Fargo & Southern, making the expense per mile of construction greater than the latter road. The stations average about the same, except the division points, where the Northern Pacific stations are su perior. The Northern Pacific's engine houses are 15 per cent better than those of the Fargo & Southern. Its ware house facilities also are far superior. In the matter of bridges the Northern Pacific is far ahead of the Fargo & Southern, the witness said. They are all steel and iron structures, while those of the Fargo & Southern are ot wood. The cross-ties of the Northern Pacific cost as much as forty cents each, while few on the Fargo & Southern are worth more than twenty five cents. Mr. Darling said that the construction of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern was almost Identical. Attorney General Cowan questioned Mr. Darling closely about his bicycle trip along the Fargo & Southern. Mr. Darling said he made forty miles a day and made measurements of side tracks and switches and other things on the road. He compared his observa tions with a profile of the road, which was furnished to him by Chief En gineer McHenry, of the Northern Pa cific. He did not think the road could be rebuilt for less than 59.500 a mile. Mr. Darling said he was engineer of maintenance of the Great Northern at Minot in 1888, his duties being to strengthen the road after the great washout of 1887. He walked over the line from Minot to the western state line of North Dakota. There is a great deal of stone work on the line in that section, he said. He had made but a casual examina tion of the Great Northern east from Minot. and several of the branches he never had been over. Mr. Darling said he had been over the Great Northern from Fargo to Grand Forks, and he was able to judge of the quality of the line. It seemed to him to be an excellently built read. It is necessary, he said, for one to have experience with maintenance ln order to estimate the cost of a line after it has been constructed. Fifty-six-pound steel rails. Mr. Darl ing said, were laid on the Fargo & Southern, while the Northern Pacific main line was constructed of sixty-six pound steel. The branches were made of fiftv-fiix-pound rails. The Fargo & Southern. Mr. Darling said. Is a branch of the Milwaukee and was built to accommodate the traffic it would have to handle. The Northern Pacific and the Great Northern hav'ng to hamdle all classes of traffic from all points, had to be constructed more sub stantially. The grade on the Fargo & Southern is a terror, said Mr. Darling. It ls al most impossible for a long train to be carried over lt. Loose rock and hard pan. Mr. Darl ing continued, are used in filling in the Northern Paeiflc. wh'eh is more expen sive than ordinary filing. During the past year 750,000 yards of earth work was removed by the North ern Pacific at an expense of 11 V* cents a yard. He did not know to what ac count it was charged. Chief Engineer E. H. McHenry. of the Noithern Pacific railroad, testified that he has been connected with the line in various cnpa'ltes sire? 1883. He has had charge of construction of near ly all the- branch lines of the system. He had not been over the Fargo & .Southern, but had been over the North ern Pacific many times, and the Great Northern occ-s'onally. The lines of the Red River Valley, he said, are notori ously cheap. The ground is level and the grade is about one foot to the mile. After leaving the valley the country hecomes rolling prairie. The valley is the bed of an old lake, while the coun try beyond ls harder and more difficult for railroad construction. The Northern Pacific has one bridge, which alone cost as much as the entire Fargo & Southern railway. It Is the purpose of the Northern Pacific to replace all Its wooden bridges with first-class iron and sleel structures as rapidly as pos sible. The estimates of H. A. Edwards. Mr. McHenry said, were much below the actual cost of construction. He esti mated the right of way at $10 an acre, while It was much more than that. His estimate of grading was too high in the Red River valley, but Insufficient else where. His estimate of masonry was meaningless. The estimate ls Incom plete, he said, for It does not allow for steel bridges, draw and combination bridges. His estimate for ties was fair, but made no allowance for freightage. The only correct estimate was for angle Irons, bolts and spikes. His estimate for stations and water tanks was puzzling, while that for shops was ridiculous. Mr. EdwaTds made nio al lowance for real estate, clearing, grub bing, telegraph, track signs, round houses, offlce buildings, terminal facil ities, turn tables, station furniture, freight charges on material, supplies, working capital, nor discount on bonds. He characterized lt as a most Insuffi cient estimate. On cross-examination by Mr. Cowan, Mr. McHenry said rock work on the Northern Pacific begins on the western margin of the Red River valley, where there ls a glacial drift. Such work ls encountered ln cuts west of James town to the Missouri river. Rock work costs from 25 cents to 40 cents per yard, while loose earth work costs but 10 to 20 cents per yard. At the afternoon session Chief Engi neer Nelson B. Miller, of the Great Northern railway, testified. He said that he had been engaged for thirty years in railroad engineering. He had located and supervised the construc tion of every line of the Great North ern system. He was familiar with the cost of all such work; the price of la bor and material of railroad construc tion and maintenances. He examined the estimates and tables introduced during the hearing, and pronounced them correct in the main, though some of them did not represent all the work performed. bmee the construction of the road ln North Dakota the grades have been raised and the roadbed widened very materially. The large embankments settled and had to be brought up again, and at the present time more than 90, --000 yards of grading has been done in a distance of less than nine miles. Many men, teams and steam Bhovels have been engaged In repairs and al terations to the roadbed. The tracks had to be raised and material put n aer It, so that the expense was greater than it would have been under ordinary circumstances. The company has spent more than a million dollars in this work. The Great Northern's line from Wahpeton to Moorhead ls but a few miles from the Fargo & Southern in North Dakota. He was engineer of that line when it was constructed, ten yea^s ago. About 17,000 yards of earth work to the mile was required in building the line. The Great Northern has yards at Grand Forks, Minot, Williston and Larimore. It had engine houses at Grand Forks, Larlmore, Williston, Minot, Casselton and Bottineau. All the iron and stone bridges on the Great Northern have been constructed since the road was first operated. The aver age cost per mile of the railroad in North Dakota was over $20,000. On cross-examination Mr. Miller said considerable work had been done for the Great Northern in North Dakota by contract. Guthrie & Co. had the original contract for work near Minot, but it was being done by a sub-con tractor. The line from Hope to Anata was built two years ago, when the wit ness was not connected with the com pany, and he could not say what lt cost. The cost of improvements on the line, Mr. Miller said, was distributed between operating expenses and main tenance. It was necessary to widen road beds on account of more powerful engines, Increased speed and longer and heavier trains. The roadbed along a great part of the line, he said, had been systematically widened. Most of the slope cut work was done by the day and was charged to construction. Mr. Miller staid the grading of the road In North Dakota oost about $3,000 a mile. The hearing* will be resumed at 10 o'clock this morning. SAME OLD FEELING AGAIN. STATE BOILER INSPECTORS WANT TO EXAMINE ENGINES Board Has Opinio* Prom Attorney That Work Could Be Done by the Master Mechanic. George W. McCree, deputy boiler in spector, Informed the board of fire commissioners at the meeting of that body last evening, that It would be ad visable to have the boilers of the sev lT ni? 7168 . ln l he de r> ar tment lnspect hoiw 5 rl ° c ' he said ' waa bu t S3 per boiler and as the departments of Min ff 8 ' ?u lUth and other of the larier •itles in the state paid for an annual kt BP S.vi n, di "2" bUt Pr ° Per that »" same department should do the Commissioner Warner sad the former board had decided on the opsnio7o the assistant corporation attorney that the inspection could b<_ done by tne master mechanic employed by the de" partment and that no attention need be pa.d to the state boiler Inspection department The matter was final^ re ferred to the committee on machinery and the chief, and as the cost of the inspection by the state boiler inspector would only be about $50, it is probable that the board will pay this amount rather than enter into any controversy with the state department. Chief Cook reported the following promotions and transfers: Fred Housrh truckman. Hook and Ladder Company ."No. 3, who has been detailed as oper ator in fire alarm office, to lineman- F J. Reiter, promoted and transferred from plpeman, Engine No. 5, to truck man, Hook and Ladder No. 3; Frank Low, transferred from ti«uckman. Hook and Ladder No. 3, to pipeman, Engine Company No. 5; Daniel Walsh, pro moted from fifth to fourth truckman Hook and Ladder No. 3. The chief also reported that eight horses in the department had been con demned by D\ B rkman, the veterinary surgeon, and asked permission to pur chase the same number of new steeds. Three of the condemned horses had been ln the department seventeen, three thirteen, one eighteen and an other nineteen years. The promotions and transfers were approved and the request to purchase new horses grant ed. Secretary Owens reported a balance of $61,718.16 ln the department fund, this amount being based on the depart ment receiving the $200,000 appropriated by the tax budget in January last. The bill of the St. Paul Sidewalk company for $467.21 for repairs made to the rooms in the court house to be oc cupied by the new fire alarm system, was laid on the table.. The board de cided not to pay the claim until the contractor had complied with the speci fications of the contract. Chief Cook reported that the new system would be in operation in about a week and that the rooms now occu pied by Judges Hine and Orr as private offices would be ready for the chief and the board in about ten days. D. R. McGinnis, vice president of the State Fair association, thanked the commissioners for courtesies extended during fair week. Assistant Corporation Attorney Tay lor advised the board that the con tract with the B. F. Goodrich 00. for 2,000 feet of hose had been returned by the comptroller unsigned for the reason that there was not at the pres ent time funds sufficient on hand to pay for the same. President Arosin informed the other members that the hose had been re ceived and was now In use and that the point raised by the comptroller was merely a technical one. as within a few days there would be to the credit of the flre department a fund of about $50,000. Electrical Inspector Varnum report ed 120 inspections made during August, and permits issued for 118 plants, the aggregate cost of which amounted to $6.17?. The report of the chief for August showed F>s alarms and a total loss of $9,816.75. of which $5,212.42 was on build ings and $4,604.53 on contents. The In surance Involved was $174,425, and tho insurance over losses was $164,608.05.
