So-called criminal prisoners
are very often merely persons
awaiting their trial They have
been waiting three, four six, 10
months. sometimes even much
longer In the fifth division Of the
Paviak prison there was a man
waiting four years. He was weak

was appointed he could not go and
appear before the court. He was

Since the last quarter of 1908,
when the number of political muir

police classified those charged with
this crime also as criminals. They
are refused slight concessions en-

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
OF G. 7. P. TERMINUS

Seattle, Oct. 3.-Prince Rupert, on
Kaienisland, British Columbia, and
not Port Simpson, will be the terminus
of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway.
This new transcontinental road
through Canada, which must be COM
pleted before 1911 in order to keep its
pledges to the government, will be an
active competitor for business from
American Pacific coast territory, either
by arrangement with lines already in
existence or by constructing its own
branches into Washington. It is not
at all impro bable that the road will
have it's own tracks to Seattle and 9TH
er American cities, though this ques-
ton has not yet been taken up by the
officials.
The foregoing announcements were
made here last night by President
Charles M. Hays, of the Grand Trunk
Pacific, who was here yesterday with
party of prominent railroad men
from the East.
The party has just been making a
trip to Prince Rupert. Mr. Hays said
that the advertisement of Port Simp-
son as the terminus of the road was
wholly unauthorized and that at the
proper time and after due notice the
townsite at Prince Rupert will be put
on the market by the Grand Trunk
Pacific through it's townsite company.
Any other terminal sale might be de-
nominated fake"

estimation Of many young men; for in
this day Of athletics swimming should

Strange as 1t may seem. 1t Is said
that Il large percentage of college

Moreover, there is lot of pleasure

Official Announcement Prince
Rupert as Grand Trunk Pacific
Terminal.

Minneapolis, Oct. 3.-Positive an
nouncement is made in New York that
the 500 Line will build to Seattle.
Ex-Congressman Jefferson M. Leavy,
acknowledged head of the Canadian
Pacific pool, said to group of news
paper men:
"You can state definitely that the
Canadian Pacific management intends
to extend it's road to Seattle
This serves as reply to James j.
Hills proposed extension in Canada
and bears out SirWilliam Van Horne s
recent statement in New York to the
effect that for every mile of road Mr.
Hill builds in Canada the Canadian
Pacific will build two in the United
States.
An extension of the 500 Line to the
Coast would give this city it's fifth con-
tinental route to Seattle. This is the
plan of the Canadian Pacific directors,
although an extension of one of the
North Dakota lines between the Great
Northern and the international boun-
Diary has been suggested as a fine route,
with rich and undeveloped territory
from which to build up traffic.
Much speculation has been aroused
Indianapolis among holders of 500
stock as to what the real plan for the
500 transcontinental will be.
''No doubt the Canadian Pacific
would like to have the 500 Line ex-
tended through to Seattle" said a
closely interested capitalist. 81 don't
know of anything that is in better con-
dition to build transcontinenta line
than the G. p. r. However, do not
think the extension will be built to

turn. If the new line did not prom

KEEP WATCH OF CUBA.

Though Hawaii Is deeply interested
in its local politics, II should not for
get the Cuban situation, the campaign
for annexation and what 1t means to
the industry OF these islands.
The Washington correspondent of
the London Times in a letter to his
paper dealing with Cuban intervention
made the following statement which
goes to confirm what our citizens have
believed exists notwithstanding the
failure OF the mainland press to gen
orally give prominence to such a view.
He says.
The men, II is asserted, who
really devised this insurrection,
who organized II, who financed II,
and who have, from a safe place
In the United States, developed II
TO It's present ominous proportions,
have lar different views and aims
than these. Their intention Is,
and has been from the first, to
provoke intervention by the Unit
ed States, and then to have that
lead to annexation.
These men are not Cubans AZ
all, or most of them are not, but
Americans, chiefly having their
Offices In New York. Some of
them have long been Interested in
Cuban lands, tobacco factories.
and sugar plantations. Most of
them, however have acquired
such interests since the Spanish
war OF 1898, They have secured
large tracts OF land in Cuba, and
have organized all sorts of deyel'

not. Some OF these enterprises
are OF very dubious character,
