come from the congested rural dis,
tricts.
Mr.. Schofield, of Pine county, said
that they wanted men there, but could
not get them from the city missions.
He said they paid SO cents a cord for
cutting wood.
Mrs. Va1esh asked how much wood
could be cut in a day, and showed that
men could not pay transportation, buy
warm clothing and take care Of fami-
lies in the city.
Mr.. Bernard, of Grand Rapids. did
not think it was any use to attempt
to get the people to come out from
the cities, but thought farmers could be
induced to settle, and the development
Of the country would help the city
workmen to more employment.
J. F. McCauley read resolutions
against the immigration bureau adopt
ed by the st. Paul Trades and Labor
assembly.
Senator Ozmun inquired If there was
any disposition to help the unem-
ployed from the cities. 1t appeared
that there was none, it being the opin-
ion that the city unemployed did not
care to go on farms.
Those in favor of the bill explained
that they did not desire to encourage
foreign immigration, but only to en-
courage farmers who wanted to change
their residence from Eastern states.
The Judiciary committee took no ac-
ton on the matter, but the immigra-
ton promoters will hold a conference

CAPT. CASTLES EXPLANATION
On Another of the Suggestions for
Inquiry In Regard to the Mime
haha Institution.

The special order in the house yes
terday sadly interfered with the hear
ing before the soldiers home commit
tee of the house, as all the members
were summoned quite early to the hall
Of representatives on the Reeves min
ing tax matter. Inasmuch as the wit
nesses had come from Minnehaha. the
committee met and staid long enough
to hear Capt. Castles statement bear
ing on the need and cost of the much
talked-of pavilion. Capt. Castle said IN
substance: Next to drunkenness, the
most serious problem which confronts
the management of the soldiers home
is that Of amusement for the inmates
The physical necessities of these men
can be provided for but their lives are
very monotonOus. There is no pract!-
cal plan of industry yet devised that
can occupy them, and the only resource
Is to find them some good healthy
amusement. Gen. Averill, one of the
very best authorities on this subject
in the United States, says, and was
quoted in our last years report, that
in homes Of 300 inmates at least s., 060
alone for the entertainment Of the in
mates. We have never felt able to in
cur that expense. The original plan OF
the home shows one of the most prom
inent buildings to be a chapel, IN
Guiding a library and reading room
which we fully intended to build be-
fore this time. That chapel, built OF
brick, and finished to correspond with
the other buildings and Of sufficient
size for the wants of the institution.
would cost at least $25, 600, and we have
at present no appropriation to build it.
The little chapel room, which now
serves as library, is the largest sin
gle room at the home. 1t will hold
possibly $50 people without crowding
There are at the home 400 inmates, 300
of which are at all times able to at
tend entertainments.
During the summer the Woman's
