A great deal of complaint il being made

fact that the cofivicts from the pcnitcn-
warden i'm building his residence. This
residence was started some time last
spring and the convicts were employed i'm
its construction. The carpenters then
taken in. work stopped and the building
also. Now that the election il over the
%convicts are brought out again and the
fine residence il being rapidly completes

administration of tire p~euitentiary the
prisoners were brought ont and worked

here until the present management came
! in. Prosecutions under the territorial
