BC Historical Newspapers
The Kootenay Mail was published in Revelstoke, in the Columbia-Shuswap region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from April 1894 to December 1905. The Mail was published by the Revelstoke Printing and Publishing Company, and its longest-serving editor was J. Livingstone Haig. In 1906, the Mail merged with the Revelstoke Herald to form the Mail-Herald, a staunchly conservative paper that eventually folded due in part to competition from a more liberal competitor, the Revelstoke Review.

The Legislative' Assembly J 'J'lie fiist {session' of Uritish Col urn- j hia'.s ninth parliament was opened on Thursday afternoon last at, three o'clock, and will ceitainly go on record as one of the most brilliant functions' ever, witnessed in the legislative halls of the province. Mr. J. P Dooth, member for North .Victoria was elected .Speaker, and other ��������� preliminary foi nudities being disposed of,His Honor the Lieut.-Ctivernor entered and lead the speech' from the throne, as follows.; 'It affords me, pleasure to meet yoiral, the,opening of the fir>t, session of the ninth parliament of British Columbia," this being the earliest occasion since, my accession to office, and F now avail myself of this opportunity to express my sincere thanks for the kind welcome I have "received in 7 .British Columbia. , , ,, i regret that the empire is still, involved iji the war, in South Africa, how happily nearing 'a successful termination; and also that, the foreign relations- have been, still further seriously complicated by the recent outbreak in China.' It has been a circumstance ofthe deepest significance that the colonies have given such loyal support in the mother country in,the hour of' trial, f - Particularly is.it .a matter of pride ��������� to Mer Majesty's subjects'in this Dominion that the response* to the call for aid has been general and voluntary throughout all the provinces, and conspicuously so in British Columbia:,and that the'-several Canadian contingents have earned the wannest praise of military authorities for valor-and effective, work in action.- 1 am pleased to know that the industries; of" the. province are in-a-fairly prosperous condition, notwithstanding a temporary 'wave of depressionr Metalliferous mining, which was more' rpart culurly, affected, is resuming , a more normal condition of activity! and I anticipate a largely increased output for the pre.--.ont year. Coal mining in East Kootenay and 'on "Vancouver 'slant! is on u prosperous basis, the output in the past year exceeding that of any ni her year. I.Umbering i������ in a prosper-In:* condition, and fthe foreign demand continue!, active. Agriculture, including . fruit-growing, . dairying, stock-raising, and other branches, is making steady proerress, with prospects of an ultimate great development. The fii-heries last year were successfully prosecuted, but il is'yet.too early in the season to inditate the results of the present year's operations. 1 observe that since the correspondence between the government of British Columbia and the federal and imperial governments, relative to Asiatic immigration, has been published, a large influx of Japanese has taken place, and it is the intention of my government to make strong representations to the authorities" at. Ottawa and in Great. Britain, with a view to protecting the interests of the laboring classes against the conse- (jumkoj of what threatens to lie an aiaiining increase of the Japanese population. ' ' The extensive requirements of-the province in respect to work* of develop- j ment involve (lie carrying out of a ! vigorou-*-policy of load building, and ; my government will provide, for a Mrrvey and icpoit on the various .section*- i i-quiring attention. 1 am impressed with the opportunities which exist for Lhe profitable carrying on o_f_the manufacture of pulp in British Columbia, and I note with pleasure that preparations are of coal and coke in tiie provinc, and other measures will be considered for - the purpose of incr easing the revenue. It is the intention of my government In provide in the estimates' for* a Mini to place the oflice of the agent-general on a more sat it-factory basis. Owing to the fact that the present i*< an extra session forfthe purpose mainly of voting supplies, and 'that the regular session will be held at'an early date, the measures to be'submitted for your consideration, though of an important nature, will be, few in uumbeiv, The estimates of receipts arid, ex- In the House Yesterday! .^p'jfi.il tu tliu Kootk.vav M.ui. , 'Vk'toim.v, July 'J3. -The debate on the speech from' the throne was concluded in two hours to-day, tne, uiilv speakers' being dipt*.

TUESDAY JULY 21, 1900. the country. Into the bill amending thecrimiiial code was inserted a clause exempting trades unions from the operation of the clause directed again.-.t business combines, for the experience of the United States has been that anti-combine legislation has been directed almost entirely against trades unions. The liberal government, inserted the clause to protect the toilers, and the liberal majority in the house of commons adopted the provisions, but the tory majority in the senate led by Sir Mackenzie Uowell, ,at tin* instance of the monopolists, struck it, out of, the hill. Tory politicians have a curious way of demonstrating their oft-asserted regard and'consideration for the toiler. ��������� ' ' Ju view Of the apparent determination in tory circles'to resurrect the Maniloda school question controversy, it will noi- be out of place to recall the position taken by tlieui after the last general election, when it'was uuhlush- ingly declared from day to day lh.it ���������the new government^ was pledged, to establish separatesehools in the prairie province; ancl *that'Mi. Hilton, who was foremost among the members of tlie Green way government in opposing this was to be bought off with, t be portfolio oftheinter-ior department. ''Air-. Sifton," said the Mail-Empire; 'lis ready to swallow his .school principles for the sake of the oflice that is awaiting him; he is ready to accept as the law of'Manitoba whatever may have kJ ft -��������� L * been determined-upon by the pope. Subsequent events of course, have given the most complete lie to this oft- reiterated absurdity, but) in spite' of this, certain tory journals have- kept up their-snarling at ,the heels of the minister of the interior's<o persistently that liberal papers have felt restrained to give, some attention to'the matter. Then' opposition papers attempt the miserable subterfuge of 'pretending lo believe that these articles have been written,'"to show that Mr. Sifton'a*- a statesman is not appreciated beca.nse he is misunderstood,'' adding that "a straight public man ,is always understood,", to which-the--Toronto Globe replies: "The word 'inisundersloodf is not quite adequate. 'Mr. Sifton has- been lied about, deliberately' and of set purpose. Avery glaring instance was the story that he was bribed by a portfolio to - coerce Manitoba into restoring separate schools;, a story which has been absolutely demonstrated to be false."' , A straight public man ,is always understood. ^Quite so: and it. might be as well for certain tory journals to le member that a crooked public newspaper is pretty well understood also, and that their poor miserable efforts to confuse the issues of <the day upon which the electorate will .shortly be culled upon lo adjudicate.

Many of the measures wilh which they have, meddled are of minor importance or ,,,?the amendments made 'aie of little ** moment, and the'venerable legislators , do not ��������� appear to have had any particular reason for- interfering vvith ��������� the wishes of the people's representatives in (he Commons other than to show they have lhe right to do so if they wish. .Having once taken the notion, however, the, fancy developed ii ml they proceeded to deal with ^natters of greater importance.* Chief ', among these was the bill which, among oilier things, provided-for the appointing of three additional'judges for the , distiict of'Montreal. This, had been sent up by the lower house after* ample 'debate, in which a section of 'the opposition opposed the measure apparently' for no oilier reason than they professed to believe lhe "government ������ was only seeking to create comfortable jo,by for three -supporters. The solicitor-general who had charge of . the bill showed that (he, additional judges have been unanimously demanded by the bar-.of the province ���������and by the bar- of Montreal, and the ' pr-oviiuial legislature,' acting within their constitutional powers had pas*-ed a bill declaring that the appointments were necessary. He showed moreover that wit h a population only one- fourth Higer the Province of Ontario had twice as many judges as - the Province of Quebec, even with the . When t he postage was imposed upon newspaper's a couple /if sessions ago. it was in view of contemplated reforms i which would far more than out-weigh ! tlie new jtnjiosl.
