Since purchasing the island a few weeks ago, the Canadian Pacific has expended $50,000 on erection of a wharf, pavilion, covered tables to accommodate 500 persons, bath -houses, and other improvements. This is but the start of an active development programme, officials explain, and it is likely that next year a large recreation ground and summer cottages will be arranged for.

The picnic area is served by Nanaimo electric light and water facilities. Newcastle Island lends itself readily to development as a pleasure resort. It has a fine view of the Gulf of Georgia on the west side, and on the east fronts on Nanaimo harbor. The island is one and a half miles long and contains 754 acres in virgin forest, and pleasant stretches of meadow land. It has several beautiful beaches and many pleasant trails.

Deer frequent the island, and it is the intention of the Canadian Pacific to turn the area into a game sanctuary. Launches give quick connection to Nanaimo city, a mile across the harbor. Citizens of Nanaimo are taking 8 great interest in the plans of the company, For years it has been one of Nanaimo's ambitions to have its district recognized as a desirable summer resort. Some twenty-three years ago articles 1n the Nanaimo Free Press urged the Canadian Pacific to establish a summer resort either in the city or on Newcastle Island. Now that Nanaimo's dream has been realized, her citizens are very enthusiastic over the enterprise.

7 DEFIANT DOUKHOBORS ARE JAILED Refuse to Give Information To Census Enumerator At Grand Forks (Special to The Province.) GRAND FORKS, June Doukobors, found guilty of refusing to give census returns, were sentenced to three months in Oakalla jail here this afternoon. They were given the option of a fine of Two $100 but chose the prison terms, of the prisoners were women babies six months old, Mary Veregin and Anni Cherenkoff, while the men are Peter Borsoff, Alex Gotts, Paul Cherenoff, Wasyl Wlossoff and Peter Vatkin. RIDICULOUS ANSWERS GIVEN. Vatkin, who is well educated and known locally as an astute Russian with a wife and family, insisted on telling the census enumerator before that was two thousand Police Inspector Forbes Crutckshanks that he was born on earth and did not know where. He said did not have a wife and then when he was cornered said that the woman who was his wife is now his sister and that he had 110 children.

Four of the more obstreperous Doukhobors had been arrested after two hours' work by the police in the afternoon. They were decoyed away from the rest of the crowd and then caught. Fifteen police were on hand and the rest of the Doukhobors were broken off into small groups and order was thus maintained. Women, however, endeavored to molest the police. Some of the constables were struck over the head and a smock was thrown over Inspector Chuickshanks.

There is no hope of securing census information from the men arrested. The police are trying to locate Paul Metin and Larion Cherenoff, for whom they have warrants. The main colony is still being barred from the town with quotas of police guarding all the approaches. DEMONSTRATION FEARED SUNDAY. No further warrants will be issued and the question being asked is whether the government will be able to take a census of the colony.

The enumerator has really achieved nothing and there are fears that the town will have a demonstration Sunday unless the police can get the prisoners away tonight. Lottery Charges Laid. In raids conducted by Detective George McLaughlin Saturday afternoon, Lee Sing, 112 Market Alley; Lim Sam, 61 West Cordova; Hing, 10 Powell street and Stephen Sweeney, 451 East Hastings, were arrested and charged with operating lottery houses. They were released on bail of $100 each. "I don't care what you do to my father and mother or sisters.

Hang them if you like," was the statement of Mike W. Lossoff to Enumerator E. L. Kid before Inspector Forbes Cruickshanks this afternoon. ENGLISH TEAM BEATS NANAIMO BY 8 TO 2 (Continued from age One).
