turned but the snow arrived before
he did. Mr. Kay went from Salem to
St. Paul Minn., and while in that
state visited the' famous Stillwater
prison which he pronounces to ibe the
finest penal institute in the United
Slates if not in the world. Not only is
the structure one of the best hut the
management and general conditions
are above the usual run of state instit
tions. The prisoners work in mills turning
out binding twine and also several
kinds of farm machinery. Last year
managers of the prison turned over to
the state a clear iprofit of $350,000 for
the year's work. This sum of $350,000
was left over after all appropriations
had been paid back, and after the up
keep, maintenance, salaries and all
other expenses had been deducted.
jAbout 1,000 men are doing time at
Stillwater and :in the nefortriattory
which is separate about 700 more are
confined. The younger prisoners and
those who committed minor offences
are separated from the older prisoners
and confined in the reformatory. The
prisoners are paid 25 cents to $1.25
for working in the prison plants.
