Stats Hoaao Wins Is Vasafe.
The east wing of the state house ha
feen officially declared unsafe and danger
ous.
Architect Berllnghof, who recently made
an examination of the building, reported
to Land Commissioner Eaton this morning
that the east wing had settled six or eight
Inches within the last month and there 1
rave danger of a collapse of that section
of the building.
The following Is the, detailed report of
Sir. Berllnghof:
As requested by yon to carefully Inspect
the east wing of the capltol building and
report to you my findings, I beg leave to
tate the following:
I have measured - the east wing. I re
ceived from Mr. Dobaon the levels and ele
vntlons taken March 3, 1903. The elevations
srtven In each, case are the elevations at the
window stlU On January 17, 1807. I fe
rmented Mr.' Grant, the present city en
glneor, to take levels and give me the
elevation at the water table. I did this In
order to ascertain whether ! or not the
buildlna- had settled any more since March
t, 1903, and found that It had settled almost
another two Inches. The south' wall of
the east wing overhang five and one-half
Inches at the top - of the third floor.
In the commissary department, which la
situated directly under the private office
In the south side of the wing. Is shown the
best evidence that the building Is still
continuing to settle, as on my first visit
to this room in the basement I found
articles of the brick arches had fallen out.
This room was cleaned out and on my next
'Visit', four days afterward, I again found
mall plnces of the arches on the floor.
The mortar in the south wall Is continually
falling off and this ' quite rapidly, which
' in Itself evidence of the continuous
settling; of this wall. In the offices of the
late superintendent and . oil Inspector a
crackling of the walls Is frequently heard.
The south wall has settled in all eight
Inches.
At the top . of the building new and
large crack have made their appearance.
The Iron rods now In th building and
which run from the south wall toward the
north wall are on the second story floor
level and will eventually be of no use on
account of the continuous settlement of the
, south wail, wnicn wm.overnang m ana
, Snore at the top.
.' I further notice that the ground adjoin
ing the capltol building in most places
lopes toward the building, causing surface
' water to run towards the same and thu
drain down along the wall to the founda
tion, weakening them; further noticed In
the angle' of the south side of the east
wing a downspout ran down formerly dis
charging Into the sewer, and feel sure the
. first settlement of the building caused a
break In thla pipe and would thus discharge
the water somewhere In the around, and
If such I the case would materially affect !
the settlement or me nuuaing aiso.
With all of the -above conditions exist
ing, herewith state to you that this portion
' of the east wing is unsafe and In order
te rectify and make It safe recommend the
i most practicable way would be to take
down the outer walls, from top to bottom,
' tske up the foundation end reconstruct the
. same with concrete of proper sixes to the
comparative loads coming upon the same.
While thi-! being, done the floor can be
Shored up and a temporary outer partition
can be constructed In order to pemnlt these
offices being occupied while the Work; of
reconstruct ton is going on. '
- The estimated cost of making the south
portion of - the east wing seoure will be
- practically 120,000.' Should you or the board
. oeslre further Information I would be
pleased to appear and fully explain the
matter. UttOKOB A. BERLINUHOF. '

and cattle wa the subject of Prof. H. K.
Hmlth pf the state farm. He has the
reputation of being the most sclentlllc
feeder west of the Mississippi river, hav
ing been the winner In the great exhibits
with the products of the state farm.
Having the farm pay was discussed In
all Its bearing by Prof. E. W. Hunt
He emphasised the necessity of keeping
up the fertility of the soil. No evening
session wa held on account of the com
mercial club banquet.
Prises were awarded in the different
