Tne cub-.\ntomary formalities were observed and\neverything passed off very quietly, although a report that the socialists were\ngoing to create a disturbance had\nbrought out a strong force of police, reg-\n| ular and special.\nAfter the speaker had taken the chair,\nHawthornthwaite moved adjournment\nto bring on a motion Impeaching the\nlieutenant-governor, claiming It to be a\nmatter of great public importance. He\nsubmitted, his motion In writing, but the\nspeaker ruled thai it was not of sufficient urgency and refused to read it.\nHawthornthwaite then asked to be allowed to state the nature of his resolution, urging that the house was being\ndeprived of Its rights and privileges. Mr.\nspeaker Pooiey caiiea mm to order and\nHawthornthwaite appealed against tne\nruling, with the result that the speaker\nwas sustained.\nThe only other business transacted,\nIn addtt.v a to the reading of the speech\nI j from the throne, was the introduction\n\u25a0 of attorney-general Bowser, who was\nrelented since last session and the first\nreading of a bill to amend, the Supreme\nCourt Act. House adjourned until 2\np. m, tomorrow.\nThe speech from the throne was as\nfollows:\nMr; Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly:\nIn meeting you again at the opening\nof another session, it is my privilege\nto be able to congratulate you on the\nprosperity which, during the past year,\nhas prevailed in nearly all lines of trade\nand industry. The commission on irri-\ngatlon, the appointment of which was\nauthorized last session, has entered on\nits duties, and Us report and recommendations will be submitted to you.\nln accordance with these recommendations legislation will be Introduced to\nsecure n more equitable and efficient\nsystem of distribution of water for irrigation purposes.\nThe large increase in Immigration\nwith the consequent demand for land\nunder preemptions, warrants my government In asking you to place a large\nsum ln the estimates for any extension\nof the provincial surveys.\nA measure wilt be laid before you\nwith a view to the restriction of the Immigration of undesirable persons.\nWith the aim of encouraging and expediting railway const ruction, it is proposed to exempt from taxation for a\nperiod of 10 years, from time of completion, certain railways already authorized. To do this you will be asked\nto pass an act empowering the government to grant such exemptions.\nIn accordance with your recommendation that a representative of the government should be sent to London to lay\nbefore the Imperial government the fact\nof the refusal of the federal governmnt\nto entertain British Columbia's claim\nfor more adequate and equitable treatment in the matter of provisional subsidies the honorable, the flrst minister,\nwas assigned to undertake the duty, and\nhis report of his mission and Its results will be laid before you.\nIn order to secure a more efficient\nservice in the conduct ot the public\nbusiness it has been, thought desirable\nto regulate civil Bervice, and a measure\nfor effecting that and creating a superannuation (aud wilt be submitted for\nyour approval;\nWith a view to obviate the necessity\nof our youth going abroad to perfect\nthemselves in the arts and sciences, an\nact to establish a provincial university\nwill be Introduced during the session.\nFor the more convenient prosecution\nof public works under appropriations by\nthe legislature and with the object of\nsecuring uniformity between the federal\nand provincial systems ln the method\not accounting and the collections ot statistics, it Is deemed advisable to change\nthe commencement of the financial year\nfrom July to April.\nI am pleased to be able to inform you\nthat the finances ot the province are ln\nan excellent condition. This has enabled\nmy government to effect a large reduction ln the public debt, while stilt able\nto show a substantial surplus over the\nactual expenditures.\nMeasures will be submitted to you de*\natoned to secure to the province the full\nbenefits that should accrue to the treasury from the utilization of Its resources.\nThe public accounts tor the past flnan-\n. >lal year, and the estimates tor the en-\n;. suing similar period will be laid before\nyou. The estimates have been framed\nwith regard to economy, while provld-\n.

A letter by her In\n1881 to tbe master of tbe little Penneyl-\nvunla school where her son wus a pupil,\nwas Identified by the muster nnd reud to\nthe Jury. It told of the mother's great\nanxiety over the conduct of ber son und\nthe fear she entertained that his mind even\nthen was unbalanced.

''\"''\u00bb\nFROZENGRAIN\nSeed Supply Necessary for\nthe Northwest Farmer\nAFTERMATH OF HARVEST\ndfNl\nDISCUSSION IN THE DOMINION\nHOUSE AS TO HELP NEEDED IN\nTHE NORTHWEST BY FARMERS\nHURT BY THE LATE BAD\nSEASON.\n(8peclal to The Uailv News)\nOttawa, Jan. 10.\u2014Under the house\nrules, as a matter ot public urgency,\nalthough the French convention waa the\norder ot the day, an adjournment was\ntaken when Clittord Sit ton drew attention to the necessity of supplying seed\ngrain to those farmers wnose crops\nwere frozen.\nSifton has recently returned from Winnipeg, where he had been informed that\nserious conditions exist. They wished\nit to be understood that it was nut an\naffair ol1 charity, but a loan, many of\ntne farmers with plenty of osbets, owing\nto the financial conditions, could not\nget ready money to purchase seed. Owing to favorable weather conditions in\nthe late fall a larger area than usual\nhad been prepared tor seed and If not\nsupplied, several hundred thousand acres\nWuuid not be sown.\nUnuer present, conditions no help can\nbe expected trom the banks or loan\ncompanies, and something should certainly be done to relieve the situation.\nIt was suggested mat the provincial\ngovernments assume the responsibility\nof distributing and securing the repayment or. money which might be advanced by the federal government. He\ndid not know If it would be the correct\ncourse to pursue,, but understood that\nthe matter would be discussed by the\nprovincial government representatives\nat an early date In Ottawa.\nIn closing he spoke of the loss which\nwould be entailed if several hundred\nthousand arces were not seeded, estimating that under ordinary conditions the\nloss would equal $10,000,000 to $15,000,-\n000.\nMr. Lake followed, and agreed as to\nthe conditions ln certain districts and\nsaid that while under favorable conditions frozen grain would grow, it was\nnot a wise policy to plant more than\ncould be helped. If tluantlal conditions\nwere normal he did not think It would\nbe necessary to call ou the government.\nHe reminded the minister of drawing attention to ihe situation on Dec. 10. He\nthought it would be better to advance\nmoney with necessary guarantee for\nseed, only to be collected In installment a by the local authorities. Were\nthe government to distribute the seed\nit nilgai give wrong Impressions abroad,\nwhere the umisuui conditions are not\nunderstood. Dr. Cash said that In his\ndistrict seed oats were the greatest necessity, und spoke or tne farmer with\n$12,000 ussets, who could not raise $700.\n'ihe banks not only will not lend but\nare liar* on those who do owe them.\nTwo bad seasons, owing to seed shortage, would be a calamity.\nHon. Mr. Greenway referred, with evident pride, to the $40,000,000 of farm\naud dairy products raised In Manitoba\nduring the past season aud except in\nlimited areas, did not thing help was\nneeded as plenty of grain was available\nIn the province. He thought it better,\nhowever, to deal with the questions before all tne grain was suipped east.\nStaples concurred and he hoped Manitoba would not be overlooked, however,\nIn the arrangements made. He thought\nthe provincial authorities were lu .the\nbest position to bundle tbe 'details of\ndistribution;\nDr. Mclntyre thought the newer settlers require aid more than the farmers\nwho are already settled.\nHerron thought no aid wns required\nIn southern Alberta except In Isolated\ncases, but agreed that something should\nbe granted ok the recommendation of\nthe Improvements boards. Col. Hughes,\nhaving expressed sympathy with tne\nproposal, E. B. Osier expressed the opinion that It would be a mistake to lend\nmoney directly to the farmers, aa In\nmany instances the money would never\nbe repaid. He suggested the matter\nshould be dealt with In a business wuy,\nthrough a loan company.\nMcCraney thought It better to supply\nseend than money; there was plenty\nof good seed available for purchase in\nthe Goose lake district,\nJackson agreed with the other Manitoba members that that province would\nnot require much help und also that It\ncould be better distributed through the\nprovincial governments.\nCrawford approved, as did George\nTayor, chief conservative whip, but\nthought the best way would be to deal\nthrough the banks and grain dealers.\nDr. Schaffner was surprised that an\nold parliamentarian like Sifton should\nbring up the question without moro\ndatu, No member who spoke had mention a request made to them for seed.\nCertainly none had in his district. However, he wns prepared to support a provision to aid those farther west. It was\nbetter to supply seed than money, but\nbefore anything was done, more definite\njnrormatlon should be gathered. He\nwas opposed to the Idea that the problem would best be handled by the banks\nand grain dealers. Ho had no confidence tn the latter and the former had\nstretched branches all over the country\nand were now taking advantage of the\nconfidence that they had had. Influence should be brought to bear on the\nbanks to make them more reasonable.\nThey approved of supplying seed through\nthe provincial government.\nDr. Roche deprecated discussion, as\nliable to be hurtful abroad and thought\nSlfton's information might not be altogether dlslntered. He thought that\nthe municipal authorities were the best\njudges, and to them provincial authorities would doubtless appeal to distribute\nthe seed.\nMcCarthy had no demand in his section; if any plan were decided on there\nshould be no discrimination- as to length\nof settlement,\nHon. Frank Oliver regretted the necessity but as it exists it might as well\nbe discussed. The past season was unfortunate, but it would be a double mis-\nlortune should there be another short\ncrop for lack of seed. Probably the\nprovincial government and municipalities could Bupply all the needed help in\nManitoba. The greatest assistance was\nneeded in Saskatchewan and northern\nAlberta. The matter (had ibeen discussed with the provincial governments\naud the necessity of action fully realized,\nbut no decision had been reached yet as\nto where the responsibility of ajcii\nceased as there must certainly be cooperation. Representatives of \"the western governments will be In Ottawa In\na day or two and the matter will then\nbe taken up. In view of the greater\nnecessity of Saskatchewan it will possibly have a different arrangement to\nAlberta. The commissioner of Immigration has been in the west investigating\nand seed tests are being conducted by\nseed commissioners. Up to the present\ntime the government had abundance of\nadvice, but very little information from\nthe Parties interested. The railways\nwould be communicated with and in a\nshort time measures be taken to meet\nine (limcuity. Referring to the opposition member's. (Lake) speech, the minister said that the; political advantage\nwas ail ou the side of the opposition,\nthe necessity of action was unfortunate\nfrom the government's standpoint, and\nhe expressed the hope that it would receive fair criticism.\nR. L. Borden approved the proposition,\nbut urged that care he used that the distribution be as efficient as possible. He\nwas sure no political capital would be\nmake of it. He was prepared to support the government in giving reasonable assistance to secure seed for the\nwestern farmers.\nAt the evening stolon Hon. L. P.\nBrodeur resumed the discussion of the\nFrench treaty, devoting much attention\n-'to prove that the treaty marked a new\nera in Canadian diplomacy as it was negotiated by Canadians alone, and quoted a despatch of the colonial secretary\nlu '95, that after that British ambassadors alone must negotiate trade treaties.\nBrodeur quoted a mass of statistics affected by the treaty.\nAmes, while he hoped the bulk of the\ntrade would be direct, deprecated the\ncompelling of all goods to go direct,\nas freight rates from the south to the\nnorth of France, whence direct lines\nrun, will kill the benefit in many cases,\nA bill embodying the treaty was given\na first reading und the house rose at\n11 p. m.\nThe minister of railways today laid\nou the table of the house the second annual report of the. statistical branch of\nthe department, organized a couple of\nyears ago. This Is the second report\nand it contains considerable information\nwhich wus not given In the first statement issued. The report showB that,\nin addition to the mileage of Canadian\nrailways during the year, there was 1049\nmileage of double tracking, an Increase\nfrom 743 to 1007 miles, almost wholly\napplicable to main lines and will represent a substantial addition to transportation facilities. The total of all track\nnow amounts to 27,011 miles. The number of miles actually under construction during the year is estimated at\n3000. This does not include lines projected not under government control.\nThis report shows that Canada has a\n.higher mileage, measured against population, than the United Kingdom or the\nUnited States, France or any ot the\nBritish colonies, but a lower mileage,\nmeasured against territory, than any of\nthese countries; In other words, Canada\nstands foremost among nations In transportation In proprotlon t9 Its population,\nwhile her ample territory gives her the\ngreatest room for expansion. The totul\nearnings from operations were upwards\nor siKi.inm.mw, of which 193,000,000\nearna from the freight service and\n$5,000,000 from other sources. This represented an increase of 17G per cent over\n1906. The total earnings were equal to\n$6535 per mile, and operating expenses\n$4,620. Last year 16,946 freight cars\nwere added to the total supply. Allowing for weur and tear, etc., it is estimated that 3762 new cars were acquired\nIn 1907 to replace those put out of commission. There were 1099 miles of new\nrailway put into operation during the\nyear and on the basis Indicated in the\npreceding paragraph and applied to 1906,\nthe additional mileage would call for\nan equipment of 4523 freight cars. Figuring on this basis, It Is estimated that\n18,317 cars were necessary In order to\nmaintain normal conditions, or 1368\nmore than were actually brought into\nuse during the year. The total mileage\nwas slightly In excess or 75,000,000, an\nIncrease of 21.30 per cent.\nSTARTJIADE\nMining Engineers of West\nin Convention\nPUSH KOOTENAY MINES\nFIRST MEETING OF THE CANADIAN\nINSTITUTE IN THE WEST RESULTS IN ORGANIZATION-\nDA'NCE GIVEN LAST NIGHT AT\nHUME HOTEL.\nREPUBLICANS CANNOT AGREE\nNew York) Jan. lfi\u2014After one of th \u2022 mint\nbitter fights In Us existence the New York\ncounty republican committee adjourned at\nmidnight without endorsing any onrulhlae\nfor the* presidential nomination.

Very general regret was\nexpressed that G. P. Wells failed of election. He would have made an admirable alderman and, doubtless, had he\nbeen better known to the majority of\nelectors in the East ward he would\nbave won out.\nThe result of the polling for school\ntrustees was eminently satisfactory in\nat least one respect, the splendid vote\npolled by Dr. Arthur. The fact that a\nvery large proportion of the electors\nmarked their ballots for the doctor Is\nindisputable proof that faithful civic\nservice Is not disregarded in the city\nof Nelson. The, compliment of practically a two to one vote was coming to\nDr. Arthur and it is very satisfactory\nthat it was delivered.\nTHE LEGISLATIVE SESSION\nThe speech from the throne at the\nopening of tbe legislature yesterday contained nothing of special moment save\nthe announcement that a large appropriation Is to be made for surveys of\npublic lands. This Is entirely commendable. For years The Dally News has\nadvocated the carrying out of an extensive system of surveys of the public\nlands and It Is with very great satisfaction that we note that at last the government haB realized the crying need\nof this work.\nA portfolio of public works Is to be\ncreated.

There Ib nothing in the\nspeech to indicate the scope of the proposed civil service and superannuation\nbill, but that, too, is a measure that\nthe growth of the province probably\nmakes necessary.\nTbe statement concerning the financial condition of the province Is satis-\nfactory, but had already been discounted by utterances of the finance minister.\nWe should bave liked to have seen\nsome more practical recognition of the\nmining industry in the speech from the\nthrone, It is only too true, that of recent years, the provincial authorities,\npressed by other business no doubt, have\nnot given that attention to the mining\nIndustry that Its Importance merits. We\nnote with pleasure, therefore, the organization of a western branch of the Canadian Mining Institute, which may be\nexpected to keep the provincial authorities more closely In touch with mining\ndevelopments and requirements and we\nfeel sure that If the western branch approach the subject judiciously their recommendations will receive the earnest\nand favorable consideration of the government.\nThe session bids fair to be brief and\nunimportant.\nEDITORIAL NOTES\nDUcnstfbf copper pospects, the Chicago Mining World says: \"Just now,\ndesired to retain a higher rate, It Is doubtful If It could be made effeetlve ad the supply of money In Lombard street was ho\nabundant as to be almost for the moment\nln excess of the requirements. The discount rate In the open market fell to 4 1-2\nper cent, Tho recent continual purchases\nof sterling bills indicated the probability\nthat the gold borrowed fro inFrance during the American stringency would be allowed to remain for a time here and the\nbills renewed. This proved a further fn-\nlucement for the bank to lower Its rate.\nThe stock exchange already had fully discontinued the 5 per cent rate and the actual announcement only caused a Alight\nhardening In quotations.\nB.

An extraordinarily severe winter followed by\na somewhat inclement summer forshad-\nowed widespread distress, but the beautiful weather of the autumn montns,\nI have learned with pleasure, prevented\nto a very large extent such u calamity.\nAs loyal Canadians, you will have observed with pride that during the financial disutrbance which has spread disaster throughout the world, while there\nhas been a shortage of capital, both ln\nAlberta and in the more populous portions of the dominion, yet the soundness of the financial Institutions of the\ncountry has once more been proved and\nthe growth of the trade and the commerce of the dominion has gone on almost unchecked.\nMy ministers have taken part during\nthe recess in two conferences, the one\nimperial and the other international, on\neducation and taxation, which I have\nno doubt will have an Important influence In the administration of these\nbranches of the public service.\nRoyal commissions have been engaged\nduring the year in the examination 0\/\nconditions of the two most important\nbranches of trade and commerce ln the\nprovince, the agricultural Interests of\nthe province, which are at present supreme and are likely for many years to\nremain so, are deeply Interested ln the\nconditions under which meat is marketed and by the appointment of a commission to examine into these conditions, I have endeavored to arrive at\nthat precise knowledge which us the\nflrst postulate of amelioration. The vast\ncoalfields, which, after the wheatflelds,\nappear to be the htrgest asset with\nwhich Providence has endowed Alberta,\nhave also received attention by a commission with Important results. The\nreport of both the commissions will be\nlaid on the table of the house for your\nconsideration.\nThe national wealth of the province,\nassisted by the flow of immigration and\ncapital, which continues ln slpto of the\ntemporary checks Imposed by exceptional weather and monetary conditions,\nwill have, no doubt, developed In the\ncourse of a longer or shorter period\nImportant manufacturing interests, and\nmy ministers have thought it advisable\nat the outset of the development to take\nadvantage to the best of their ability\nat the expense of elder states by Imposing on their industrial development\nhealthy conditions while it is still in\nits infancy.\nA bill will be submitted for your consideration providing for the regulation\nof the conditions of labor and by thus\nproviding an assured basis for the future relations between capital and 'a~\nbor in this province they will be rendered more cordial from the outset, it\nhas been admitted in several of the\nmost industrially advanced of the countries of Europe that the conditions under\nwhich the mining industry is carried\non, render It peculiarly necessary in the\nInterests or all concerned- to Impose\nsome limit on the hours of labor ln this\noccupation, a bill has therefore been\nprepared by my ministers, imposing regulations in this respect, which I believe, will have a happy effect on this,\nthe most promising of our infant industries.\nAn act will be submitted for your\nconsideration dealing with the establishment of a government drainage system in the province and providing tor\nthe expense incident to important and\nnecessary works of this description being assessed agains tine property benefitted.\nThe province haB great cause for\nthankfluess that neither crime nor destitution fills an fnviortant part of the\noutlook at present. But from neither\ncan we hope to be altogether and always exempt. You will be asked to\nmake financial provision for the establishment of an Industrial school for the\nbetter care and Instruction of a class\not boys, whose circumstances and character calls for special treatment.\nYour approval will be asked for u\nnumber of bills, which experience has\nshown to be necessary for the better\nadministration of the affairs of the\nprovince, as well as for a number of\namendments to the ordinances of the\nNorthwest Territories and statutes of\nof the province.\nThe public acccAints and estimates\nwill be laid before you at an early date.\nMr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the\nLegislative Assembly, I feel every assurance that these and other measures\nbrought to your attention will receive\nthe most careful consideration and that\nthe same will result In the advancement\nunder God of the welfare and prosperity\nof the province.\nNOTICE OF MEETING\nTho annual meeting of the Nelson\nBrewing Company, Ltd., will be held In\nthe company's office, Jan. 8, at I:* \u00bb.\u00ab..\nthe transfer books will be closed from\nJan, IS to Jan, 31.\nJ.

The result of the trials in the\nIdaho courts has certainly been a vindication not only of the officers but of the\nentire federation.
