IS A RECORD According to some politicians who have been delving Into reoords, the passage in three days during which there was a little over seven hours of speech-making, of the speech from the throne, ls a record for speed ln any provincial parliament for a period of 10 years. It was beaten in British Columbia on-ee, they claim, when in 1876 the motion on the speech was moved and passed the same day. At the same time they point out a saving of thousands of dollars haa been made to the province by the speeding up. process. There are few Indications from speeches delivered so fur as to what the budget will contain. It is fairly certain that lt will provide for an increase ln the gasoline tax to five cents. Some Conservatives have agitated for a reduction in succession duties but there has been, no intimation of action along that line. School taxation will probably find a place following re-, peated representations for relief of the burden on land owners which have been made since the last session. Wild land taxation may also be mentioned A warning ln this connection has been Issued by Mr. Pattullo who stated that this was a matter which required consideration from many angles. People are not buying wild lands freely now If they are not ready to use them, he said, and taxes from this source are dwindling. scover in Indian Room, British Museum aiDON.

Federal river men estimated the damage to private owners of river dwellllngs and moored craft at »10,- 000, while the city of Vancouver said about «1000 will be required to repair broken puings and the municipal wharves.

The first movement crushed the dolphins to slivers, severed electrical connections between moored houseboats and the shore and caused more than a dozen families to escape In the darkness. The second crash, with no Interfering dolphins to brpoJc Its force, scrambled the boats Into a mass of loe and splinters. The N. R. Lang escaped destruction and was moved nearer the Washington shore.

Judging by the time taken to break a channel for the nine miles, fast time can hardly be expected on the ice-breaking expedition, though the Ice fields afe not continuous.
