NORFOLK RUINS LOCK LESS PROMISING
Governor Snvne llouht If There Is

(ii-noriil Ner of .e-
lirnnkn.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Sept. 28. (Special.) The
State Hoard of Public Lands and Buildings
met In executive session with Governor
Savage this nftornoon and considered
various plans for reconstructs the Nor
folk Ilcspltnl for Insane. It was agread
Ihut tho tmlldiiiK should be made ktrlctlv
fireproof, but further than this no action
was taken. Architect (Irani of Ilcatrlco
bus been authorized to examine the ruins
Mid no definite plans will bo mado by the
beard until his report Is received.
Governor Savage and Attorney General
Trout, who returned today from Norfolk,
consider the building almost a total loss,
The walls of tho west wing are still stand
ing nr.d enn probably be repaired without
grcut expense, , but- otherwise there will
be no talvage. In their opinion,
"With tho exception of the west .wing,"
(aid the governor, "the building Is virtually
destroyed. Tho walls of tho west wing
ran be used In robulldlug by enlarging the
boles wbero tho Joists rest, but tho rost
of tho masonry will havo to be cleared away.
In order to uso the brick now In the walls,
each one must bo taken from Its place,
cleaned of mortar and used In the new wall.
This Is a tedious process and the expense
cannot help being very large.
"According to an estimate made by a
Norfolk architect, tho west wing- caa be
put Into its original condition for $5,000.
He bases his figures on the original cost
of tho building, When first built $17,000
was expended on the wing. It It claimed
t"t tho stone nnd brick cost $12,500, leav
liV $5,000 for tho interior of the building.
Hut this Is hardly a fair estimate in inr
opinion, becausetlt will take a whole lot of
time and trouble to replaco the Joists.
Mny Save One-Fifth.
"There Is no way of estimating the loss
with any degree of accuiacy, but I have,
decided that about one-fifth of the entire
structure can be saved by expendlngjiome
money. The rest is gono gllmmorlng."'Here
and thero portions of the walls can be re
habilitated, but other Items of expense will
be encountered to more than offset the. gain.
I believe four-fifths of the value of the
Institution has gone up In smoke.
"As I remarked tho other day, I am op
posed to the crectlou of anything except
fireproof buildings for stato purposes. Of
course I am not a member of the Hoard of
r-ubllc Lands and nulldlngs and am speak
ing now as h private citizen. It seems
useless to erect anything else in view of
the fact that the legislatures for many
years havo mado no provision for Insur
ing state buildings."
"What can the stato do about rebuilding
the asylum?"
"That Is precisely what Is worrying a
great many people," answered Governor
Savage. "At present there Is not a dollar
on hand that can bo legally used even to
pay au architect for looking over the
ruins. I do not know what the Hoard of
rubllc La ad i and nulldlngs will do In re
gard to the matter, but It seems to me
that the only way nut of tho difficulty Is
to let someone rebuild tho asylum and
wait until he leglslaure convenes for re
imbursement. This It a big task. The

chnnces ere that tho legislature would
allow the claim without question, but they
might not do It and thero Is no law to
compel them to do so. Tho bids would have
to bo advertised In tho regular way ana

thero would be no recourse for the con

commence a suit against the stato nor
could he execute a mechanics' lien and
gain possession ut the building.
"At prosent I do not sec how the Norfolk
citizens could aid us In tho matter. They

thnt they would raise tho money to repair

Inspect Irrigation Plant.
Secretary Dobson of the State noard of
Irrigation returned today from Scott's Dluff
county, where he Inspected several irriga
tion and canal plants now In course of con
struction. "The work out there Is progressing rap
Idly," snld he. "and It ls"probnble that by
next spring there will be a complete Irri
gating canal running through Scott's Dluff
county Just below the river and for sov
cral miles Into Cheyenne county. Tho
ditch has been finished, but It will be some
tlmo yet before the water Is put clear
through It. Some troublo Is being ex
perienced In the bad lands territory below
Gerlng, but the englncors are confident
that all obstacles will be successfully over
come and that the canal will be In good
working order for spring cultivation. This
canal will open up nn Immense amount
of new territory and will greatly lncreaso
Its value."
Water Snpnly nt Capitol.
The new water plant at the capltol,
which has been in operation for three
months, will be subjected to an ofllclal teat
next Monday prior to transferring It Into
the possession of the state. Its total coat,
including both labor and machinery, will
be approximately $4,400. It has a capacity
for pumping 500 barrels per hour and Its
operation, when worked continuously, will
cost less than 60 cents per day. Here
tofore water from the city mains has cost
the state an average of $600 per year and
the amount used has In no case equaled
the supply of the new plant.

Ministry.
DAVID CITY, Neb., Sopt. 28. (Special
Telegram.) Dr. Huntington's sermon at
the Central Nebraska Methodist conference
today was n brief review of Methodism
during the time of his ministry. Ho spoke
of the marvelous growth, both In terri
torial extent and in members of the church,
during this time. Ho compared the doc
trine preached today with that of fifty
years ago and showed there had been a
steady development In breadth of thought
and practical application of the doctrine
to everyday life. He showed clearly tha't
mnny of the doctrines peculiar to Methodism
fifty yoars ago were now preached by all
evangelical bodies. He spoke of tho com
parative lack of emotion in religious wor
ship today as compared with half a cen
tury ago and attributed It to changed con
ditions of life. He compared the spiritual
conditions now with those of formor times
and said he believed tho spiritual life of
today of the people as a whole was not
less pronounced than formerly. The ad
dress as a whole was characterized by
clearness of statement common to the
doctor In his public address. At the close
of the sermon Rev. Dean moved a rising
vote of appreciation of Dr. Huntington's
sermon, which carried unanimously. The
aermon was ordered published In full.
