Huron Co, House of Refuge,
A T'eII. Conducted glome with a very big
FtturUy, slain Iteoru Needed.
A few particulars regarding !hie well
kept bat badly orowded inetitntion wilt
be noted with interest, we have no doubt,
by readers of Tau Pose. The building
was opened about 7} years ago and hag
beau in oharge of D. and Mrs, French, ae
Manager and Metro), ever since. Their
ability to attend to the many and various
duties devolving upon them has been
praotioally proven again and again.
There have been 82 deaths among the
inmatee eieoe the openiug, 4 of that
number passing away this year. 34
females and 64 melee, a total of 88, make
np the big but peculiarly oonetituted
famLy. While quite a few are able to
look after themselves others are deficient
in mind or defeotive in body, requiring a
great deal of oare and no small amount
of ooneideration. 9 men are now petiente
in the hospital provided for them. Owing
to the orowded condition of the budding
no snob department ie arranged for the
women, although ire ueoeesity has been
often demoeetreted. All the hired help
kept ie one young woman and one man.
It takes 225 lbs, of meat per week to
feed the inmatee ; 500 lbs, of bread and
75 Ibe. of butter, with large quantities of
vegetab'ee and occasional service of fruits.
About $75 to $80 per annum is paid for
smoking tcb:,oao to those who bow to
King Nicotine. From 15 to 20 cords of
wood and about 75 tone of coal are con•
gamed in a year for cooking, washing
and heating operations. 8 cows and 8
horeee are kept and, on our visit last
week, 155hogs were being fed and were
about ready for ehipment. A fine hedge
of evergreens is doing well ; e good sized
lawn ie well oared for and the fruit trees
and small fruits are growing nicely and
mating valuable returns. 543.00 an acre
was received for anger beets grown last
year andanother plot may be put in this
season if eatiefaoeory arrangements are
made with the factory people.
About 2000 visitors a year all at the
House of Refuge and not infrequently
tangible evidences of their oell are left
behind. The Oiinton people are partiau•
tarty kind and thooghtfal io keeping.np
the religious services on Sabbath, arses
lug for oeoaeiooal musical evenings and
playing Santa Olaus at Christmastide.
They have a baby girl in the House
now, born on March 21st, a daughter of
a Mrs. Broome, who with 4 ohildren, are
there from McKillop township. Bene
fioial results will aoorne to mother and
family, we believe, by a short residence
in Castle French. There does not appear
to be any shortage in nureee among the
old and younger women who look upon
the intent as quite a enrioeity. Mr.
Broome is alive bat it wag thought wise
by those interested to send tbe family to
the House of Refuge_ for a while at least.
The ohildren ere all young, the mother
said to be only 20 years of age.
John MoAllieter, a former resident of
Brussele, ie arobiteot and builder of the
coffins used in connection with the H'.ase
and Mao. does his work so well that uo
inmate has eo far reoeived more than one.
Some say why is hired aeeietauoe
required where there is such a crowd of
people 7 For the same reason that where
there ie a big family of ohildren extra
help el needed. Some of the sojourners
in the House are an impediment inetead
of a help, while others are no more fit to
be set to work with the expectation of
having it performed than a baby or an
invalid would be. Every man or woman
about the plane able to render aseietanoe
has certain tacks assigned them and no
inooneiderable amount of light work is
accomplished in a year. Some of the
inmatee are constitutionally tired and
others soon weary owing to decrepitude
or physical disability.
Plane were prepared a few years ago
for a proposed eolargem•nt of the House
but the epeoifioatioue were too elaborate
it was thought and the matter was allow
ed to drop t,at with the existing conditions
longer delay will seemly he poseible and
the probabilities are the Committee will
report the urgeut neceeeity of adding a,
good big wing to the Beat side, which
would permit of inoreaeed bedroom epee,
a hospital for the women, an extra day
,nom two eo that a system of grading of
inmatee could be done, givieg those who
had seen better days a little choice in
their companionships daring the day, for
it ebould not be forgotten that it is a
Home not a jail, This same reason
bolds good iu the ase of sneer, batter,
small fruits, &o , and oleo enpplying the
"terbao" to the old codgers who for many
a year have need the weed.
Mr. and Mrs. French, to accommodate
the influx of inmatee had to give up
their bedroom and now utilize what was
their dining room for a bedroom. The
proposed addition would also afford ample
storage room for coal and wood (now out-
side) and for the proper oaring of vegetab-
les. &I. Mr. French mays there is plenty
of power in the stem boiler and furnace
to heat the whole place even with the
inoreaeed spathe. History ebowe that in
older institutions than ours that iueteed
of reduoing, the number of inmatee Will
increase eo that living in the expectation
of more a000mmodation by the demine of
the present cooupaota is not likely to
prove a reality.

of the inmates, is both Omniscient and

Ono very pleasing thing about the

the varlone officials perform their many
tasks and do them eo well that no other
eimilar institution in the Province out.

made a wiser investment and we feel
eatiefi'd few, if any, will be found in the

Letter From Washington
Territory.
To the auditor of Tun loon
pima .`In, -To be consistent with my
promise and also to let my good old
friends its that part of the world know
that I am living and enjoying the noun•
thin air, I have derided to write you, I
left old Huron oe the 14th of November
for Detroit where about three weeks
were spent very pleesent y when we again
took train on Deo.. mbar 3rd, for the great
Wet and after au uoeventful trip landed
at Snohomish the evening of Dee. 7th.
My brother having met a8 at the station
we drove for about a mile out of town to
hie ranch in the darkneee, and here lot
me say there is no plaoe where I have
been or want to be where the nights are
dark or the mud more sticky. Talk
about stirring darkness with astiok, well 1
didn't try it but the mud 1 You duu't
have to stir it, it ie already stirred and
every plane yon go there ie mad, It will
jump at you without any provocation
apparently, and etiok to you oloeer than
your beet friend. Winter, snob as we
have had, ie gone. There was but one
fall of soots to em..aut to anything and
that only stayed two or three days. I have
seen no ice on water thicker than oom•
mon glass, hut if we do not get snow we
get rain, that kind of provoking rain, too
wet to be out and and not wet enough to
stay in. Mr. Editor, when the Chinook
wiade strike the mountains, tben'a when
the fan begins. We had these warm
winds about the let of January and the
snow, wbiah lies to a great deptb, some
say 20 feet, melted rapidly oeueing the
small streams to become raging torrents,
they in turn emptying into the Bnobo
mieh river -the main river -ea -need it to
overflow ite banks and inundate the eur
rounding ooautry until stopped by the
hills. To a former resident of old Heron
this was a strange experience, com-
pelled to gr to the baro to tend the stook
in a canoe or to row over cultivated fields
when it was impossible to tonal] ground
with a 10 foot pole. The buildings are
get on the highest land available on poets
4 or 5 feet high end many keep a boat
tied near the door. Hoverer high water
seldom lasts more than a week and ae it
comae gradually and goee the same way
it leaves a coat of sediment washed from
the mountains of from one to Poor iaobes,
very rich in plant food, and consequently
gladdens the heart of the rancher. The
Snohomish in ite natural state ie a beau-
tiful stream said to be ohoek-roll of sal-
mon and other fish Inc in catching these,
ae in some other thiuge, I have not been
very sacceeeful but, Mr. Editor. some
day I may go fishing again. Scenery
here ie grand the beaatilnl rivers, etreame
and hills but above all the mountains.
About 40 miles from here are the Bno-
gnalmie Falls ou the Bnogaalmie river,
a tributary of the Snohomish. These
Falls are said to be 285 feet high and in
grandeur to rival the great Niagara
Further South ie Mount Rainier and
although 100 miles off can be distinctly
seen on a Clear day. About 40 miles
North of liere is Monet Baker on the
International Boundary. These two are
among the htgheet mountains in the
United Statee. 20 tulles to the Emit ie
the Oeeaade range with their beautiful
snow covered peaks. I won't treepcee
farther this time. My pet hobby of
landing our Canadian Legislators in
comparison with the American- has some
to an abrupt termination an account of
the Games charges, but all will Dome
right. Wishing yonreelt and all old
friends in Huron prosperity, I remain
yours, DANIEL Pal aiILLAN,
Formerly of Walton.

An Open Letter.
PROMINENT mons E ON LEADING
NEW:PAPER.
To the Editor a
A 085(810 leading Divine of Ontario,
when criticising the newspapers of Tor-
onto, complained that during the late
fight in that Provinoe about the "Refer•
eudem," the majority of them had aoth•
ing positive at all to say on the matter,
which had led hits to the conclusion that
the ordinary "Daily" nn logger hes any
opinions on eobjecte of public] intermit,
but, like telephones and telegraph wires,
are mere transmitters. There is aeertain
amount of truth in Ihie etatemeut. Not
only is this the nee, brit iu uuury ineten-
oee the matter is even worse. Some
papers ouly have opiuione when peld to
expreea them. If a enfficient amount of
the "filthy lucre" ie brought forward, they
can beiudaaed to have very deoided and
very strong opiuione upon almost any
subject. There is one paper, however, we
ere glad to say, which "none of these
things can move." It hue its opinions
upoo every pub•io queetion and upon all
cooaeioes it is, ready to utter them with a
fearleeecese and a candor which must
commeud it to right thinking mem. Tbie
