"The Department of Public Works has been asked to provide in the next estimates an amount for the purchase of wood for lime-burning and for the tools and blasting powder that will be, required in building and quarrying. 1 hope the requisite provision will be made commence this work during the next spring, as in the present unprotected state of the prison the safe custody of the convicts cannot be insured, nor can the Warden's accountability therefore be very rigidly exacted.

A portion of the outbuildings and guards' cottages, tho want of which has been so much felt, have been erected. Application has been made to the Public Works Department to include a stun in the appropriation to be made by Parliament that will suffice to complete the out-offices and ouartors for the This startling result and tho figures are under rather than over-stated can only be obtained on very large farms, Accordingly, wo hud a strong movement in the direction of wheat-growing on a gauiic scale.

THE MAXITOHA. PHXJ TEKTIABY The Inspector of Ben it en Paries reports thus on the Manitoba Penitentiary The several reports received from the inspector, the course, of the year, represent in a vmy favorable light, the. management and discipline of this penitentiary. The many defects which I pointed out in the building have been remedied, the improvements required have been made by the Department of Public Works. The drainage, which proved nearly fatal to the Warden, is now in good working order.

Means have burnt adopted for the. better heating of the wing and the office, from the cold of winch the convicts and members of the stall' ouTere 1 -i-vt rely the last two winters. 1, have alreadv urged the lie- sily of he thii the other penitentiaries, when possible, artificially.

Now, it has no such weight, as' all such work and repairs can be executed by competent tradesmen, at a considerable amnrJ saving over the present mode of heating, not to speak of the in I beg once more to recommend artificial heating.
