Tho provincial legislature opened for tlm dispatch of business laat Thursday, th** ceremonies being of the usual showy description. 0. E. Pooley, of Esquimalt, was electeii speaker. In the general arrangement of the house, \V. Davidson, member for this riding, sits with the government, while Haw- thornthwaite and Williams, the two Socialists, sit with the opposition. All three will give th-* government an Independent support. Following is tbe speech from the throne: "I have much pleasure in welcoming you to the first session of the tenth parliament of British Columbia. '•Our financial affairs demand most earnest consideration on your part,and I appeal, with hope, to your patriotism and to your love for the province whose future destinies, under provi- (leiie3, are ia your hands. There is no reason why British Columbia, with its great natural resources, should not occupy in the Dominion of Canada a position of which we may all be justly proud. "You have therefore lieen convened thus early that my finance minister may make such fiscal arrangements as may lit* necessary. ••Having iu view the immediate requirements of the country, and the unfavorable conditions for obtaining a loan on the London market,you will be asked to authorize the issuance of treasury warrants extending over a abort period of years, and repayable in annual instalments. "A ronsid arable increase in revenue each year will, in consequence, lie ue- eessafT, not onlv to meet ordinary expenditure, but to provide for the redemption of warrants. The legislation proposed will therefore include a new UsscsiiUient aet, nud iiinciid'.iieuts to the land act. the railway aS8"""*ame&t act and the school art. "As part of th'* p'.an for financial reconstruction, subst r.itial economies in the civil service h ivc already lieen effected and material reduction in the expenditure on public works brought about, These will be continued with | a due regard to the requirements of the province. "My government has already taken up the proposed readjustment of the financial arrangements between the province and tne Dominion, fis also the question of control of our fisheries and tke regulation of alien immigration, These subjects will lie earnestly and persistently pressed to a settlement satisfactory to the province. "As a result of the recent decision in the .Alaskan boundary inquiry, a strong feeling exists in favor of the all-Canadian route into the Yukon and northern British Columbia, and my government will co-operate in any reasonable efforts which may In- made to bring about the construction of sueh a railway. "1 am pleased to nota- the probability of the construction, at au earls- date, not only of another Canadian transcontinental system having its terminus on the Pacific ocean.but also of other important lines within our province.

The night was extremely dark and the accident occurred in crossing the bridge over the river leading to his home in West Slocau. He had crossed the maiu part of the bridge in safety but, in turning off the farther end, made a misstep and fell over ou to the rocks in the river bed below, a distance of 10 or 12 feet. He lit ou his head aud chest, inflicting a nasty gash on the forehead and receiving internal injuries. After somewhat recovering his breath, he had strength sullicient to stumble to his home, though almost blinded bv the blood streaming from his head. Hor husband's appearance was a great shock to Mrs. Cameron. .Medical aid was at onee summoned ami the injured man quickly attended to, it taking eight stitches to draw together the wound in the head. It will be some time before Mr. Cameron will lie able to be around again. Had the proper guard rails lieen in place on the bridge tho accident would not have occurred, but as it is there is capital ground for basing a heavy suit for damages against the provincial authorities. NT. ANimilWU N1UHT. Local Scotchmen Ouly Honor Memory of Patron Saint. Local Scotchmen celebrated the anniversary of St. Andrew with great eclat on Monday night, the event being much more successful than either of the two previous efforts. As was the case last yoar, the banquet was held at the Arlington hotel, 10 persons sitting down to the feast. The tables wero shaped after the manner of a St. Andrew's cross, President MeCalluiu taking the main end and Vice Johnson the other. A rich array of distinctly Scotch edibles, flanked by many delicacies that were not Scotch,loomed up liefore the assemblage, and the dispatch with which those dainties disappeared was a marvel to behold. Some kind-hearted friends in Nelson sent up a haggis for the occasion that was the real thing, and a savage attack was made upon it by the clans. The feast was a grand one, calling forth warm expressions of appreciation. The inner man satisfied, there followed toasts, talks, sangs an' a' that, the programme lasting for hours. Capital speeches were delivered by the numerous orators, among these being Uev. Messrs. Simons and Scott, R. J. McPhee, D. S. McVannel, R. C.Campbell-Johnston, John Foley, W. S. Johnson,L. J. Edwards.Actiug Mayor Smith and others. All the speakers expressed their gratification at being present, and warm and loyal were the sentiments voiced to native land and King. R. T. Anderson, the society bard, excelled himself with his original compositions, and was cheered to the echo. Messrs. O'Callaghan and Webster were no mean seconds either. A piano had lieen provided for the occasion aud many were the songs submitted, among those contributing Ixiusr Messrs. Arnot, Worden. Davidson, Lea, Snyder and Campbell-Johnston. Geo. Philpot contributed his mite with a cornet. To tell of all that was said and done at that spread would fill a book, but it sure was a memorable occasion. There was a strong under current of good fellowship displayed, and even those preseut who were so unfortunate as not to Iw Scots, could not but feel its influence. Many cycles after midnight passed ere the company dispersed, the clatis being loth to sever their harmonious relations. There was only one drawback to the general happiness, the usual franking of tele- triiiins between sister societies on St. Andrew's night lieing this year deuied by the C.P.R. for the first time.

The quartz has a mixture of sulphides, sulphuretsandargentite, and will run over 2000 oz in silver, besides gold. A picked sample will yield 13000 oz. Several tons of ore have already Ihh-ii taken out by the lessees for shipment. The specimens are on view at A. C. Smith's store and are attracting much attention. To Construct an Oprrn llnme. The owners of the Music Hall have it in miud to convert that building into an up-to-date opera house. Their idea is to tako out the second Boor and to erect a large gallery in thr* front end, supported by iron pillars. The ground floor would be the hall proper, while the stage would be placed at the back end. An addition would then be built on the rear for commodious dressing rooms. The main entrance would be from the street, A new floor would Ih* laid suitable for dancing and the whole building finished up in fine stvle.

Here is a quaint anecdote illustrating Mr. Chamberlain's kindness to the little people. Ii is told by a Indy who was once a scholar in it Birmingham Sunday school. Thai Sunday school had tho privllego of holding its an i> ul treal in the grounds oT Highbury. Mr, Chamberlain enjoyed watching tho small children disporting about his grounds ns much as the small children enjoyed it themselves. One of tin. games was an old kissing game, something like kiss-in- tho-riug, One of tho children Btnttds iu th" centre, nnd tlie others sing a ditty calling on her to "Choose you one, choose you two, choose you the fa ires I of the three."

There was n BCI*0W in lb" gob- let, and looking at tho screw, Mr Chamberlain was able to inform his host that tlm goblet dated hack I i th*' eighteenth century Thero was nothing very remarkable in this, pci- haps, bul it shows thai Mr. Chamberlain is no theorist, but a man who knows his business practically.— London Daily Express, Some Koflfltaaia Df Olnr.

The lirst of the series of lectures, endowed by Sir SancUord Flenliug. imdoi* the auspices ol the Canadian Institute, wus delivered on Waliu- day night in the new medical building, Toronto, by Dr, L; 0. Howard. chief entomologist of the American Bureau of Agriculture, upon "Somo International Work With insects." Sir Sondford Fleming being unavoidably absent, the chair was occupied by the President of the Canadian Institute, Prof. Coloman, who spoko briefly in Introducing Dr, .Howard. Ur. Howard is one ol the greatest living authorities on the subject of entomology. Referring to thc principal insects which ufi'ect agriculture and horticulture in North America, he stated that they ara not native species, but have been imported from abroad, and mainly from Kurope. He said lhat European species when accidentally imported into the United States, particularly into the southern States, seem to thrive ond multiply with extraordinary facility and fecundity. One reason for this is the longer summer and the greater sum total of Ina! during ihe breeding period. Another reason Is that the natural enemies which keep them In check in their native home huve been left behind. Enormous sums have been spent by fruit-growers in their attempts bv spraying and other means to destroy noxious Insects, The orange and olive trees in California were almost destroyed by various kinds of scale. Twenty years ngo the white scab' was overcome by a ladybug from Australia. The same insect was af- terwards sent to Egypt, Portugal and South Africa whore it accomplished the sumo beneiicial results. More recently the olive trees have been similarly relieved ol the white ...rain. Ho told In some detail ot th'* search for thn parasite that is the natural enemy of the a**'un JoSo BCalo, lirst in Japan and then successfully In China, where tho home i.i the scale was found, and along with it the insect that feeds on it und keeps its ravages within bounds Twi of theso insects were brought to Washington two years ago and <ured for until they multiplied and proved their worth, nnd this year 400 colonies of theso insects were sent out, and on the whole tho results have been satisfactory, altogether satis- fr lory In certain States, investigation is to be made in South America for an insect thnt will destroy the San .lose scale in northern as well us sou thorn climates. AllOthel beneiicial importation from abroad was described: iho Smyrna lig crop of Mediterranean regions iv the .standard crop of dried ligs of the world: .unerica hud never been able to raise any Smyrna ligs: at several points In California tho tree*. had bi - n planted, but thn fruit would fall without ripening*: an Investigation sliowed thai in AMa Minor it is the custom of tho natives to tiring wild flga umI hang them in the branch's of the Smyrna (las. '.'.hereupon minute inserts Issued from tho wild ligs and covered with pollen, entered tho Smyrna, tics and fertilised them; wild fig trees wa ro then imported into California, nmi after several failures the fertili irg Insect was also Imported nnd established. The result is; that in certain places in California many tons of dried Smyrna ligs ol a superior finality nre now put upi n the market annually.

Those wicked Tories down at Victoria have actually had the audacity to hie the Dunsmuir interest's io the courts again for employing Chinese iu the collieries at Union, and havo had a fine inflicted. James will soon learn that he is no longer It. Canada is to have an all-rail route to the Klondike, giving her control of the trade of that important section. The Dominion government will father the scheme and the legislature of this province will lend its aid. Such a road would open all the northern section of British ColuiKbia.so attracting population and capital. The building of tho road is a direct result of the Alaskan boundary award. Last Thursday the local legislature opened for business andjudgiug from the text of the speech from the throne, the Conservative government has fully grasped the needs aud requirements of the province. That the government mean to work was also exhibited by the budget of new bills and amendments laid liefore the members next day, the customary adjournment to the following woek boing done away with. It is the intention to wind up tho session, if possible, liefore Christmas, and the leaders promise no dallying with public matters. The session will be a noted one, as the legislation submitted has taken the Opposition by surprise, being at the same time more drastic than the Conservative followers generally thought would be the case. An earnest endeavor is being mado to keep expenditures inside tho revenue and to improve the financial positiou of the province. A short-termed loan of a million dollars, by treasury warrants, is asked for; while sweeping amendments to the Assessment and Land acts are introduced, the aim being to increase the revenue derived from tho coal and timber resources, the railways, and the income tax. Pulp reserves are cancelled, but the famous two per cent tax on mineral is retained. The legislators will earn their allowances this session. It is high time the citizens were bo- stowing some attention to the formation of a lioard of aldermen for next year. It is aliout time also that burlesque gave way to the stern realities aud responsibilities of a self-governing community. With the present council reduced to a bare quorum of four nnd minus a mayor, and with the outlook extremely doubtful for even a working complement of aldermen for the coming year, it must be admitted the situation is at least unsatisfactory. What is required i.s a set of enterprising and resolute men, who will conscientiously shoulder the responsibilities of the city and legislate with justice to all and favors tn none. As all know, it is necessary that the utmost economy shall bo practiced with regard to expenditures and, equally so, is it essential that tho various sources of revenue shall lio strictly and fully developed. Thero are now outstanding several thousand dollars in back taxes and prompt and effective moans should be taken to collect them in, outside property holders lining thus compelled to bear thoir just share of the expenses of civic government. Were all available revenue collected in, there should lie sufficient funds each year, not only to meet general expenses and the debenture debt, but also to provide for public improve meuts, which are sadly needed, The city has an excessive assessment and si high rate of taxation and something tangible should result. Every effort should Ik. made to attract population, by constructing good walks and line streets. In time electric lights and waterworks will follow. Slocan needs n complete and energetic council, and to that end a move ought to lie made at once to induce those eligible for office to stood for election. -m ■ a an ,^... .i jaoaaflTflBaaaaai DRILL POINTS. - Pay up your subscription.

McNeish was surprised the other day to receive word from the department of education that he was not a school trustee. Last Saturday an express traits was badly wrecked near Cranbrook by running into a cow. which threw tho engine from the track. Local visitors to the K. of P. liall at New Denver, last Thursday, state it was a big success, upwards of 50 couples being present. The local lumber company have finished shipping for tho season from their mill at the head of the lake. The product went to the prairies. W.H.Yawkov, principal shareholder iu the Minnesota iSilverCo., owners ol the Ivanhoe group and mill, died last week in Detroit, of heart disease. Regular statutory nieeting of the license commissioners will bo held next Wednesday. Renewals for the next six months will l>e. passed upon. All shingles used by the C.P.R. in the Kootenay division are purchased from the mill here, the local article Ix.ing considered the best in the market. Field-Johnston, of Vancouver, has tendered an abject apology to Hon. .Jos. Martin, for libelling him through the press. "Siseman" should go and bury himself in some convenient hole. It is with pleasure that the au nouiicement is made that the famous Schubert quartette has boon secured for an evening's engagement at the Music Hall.
