BRITISH COLUMBIA PARLIAMENT
Province Intends to Have Create
Control over Railway Rates.

Victoria, B. c., Feb 16.-Yesterday the
government brought down a bill in the
legislative assembly to make it plain that
| the British Columbia Southern railway
| grant alluded to in the act passed by the
| last session only extends from the eastern
| boundary of the province to I<ootenay
lake, and does not extend over that ror-
ton of the line running to the coast. IN
| reply to Graham of East Yale, the gov
| ernment stated that they have under con
sideration some change in the railway
law, so that the province may have a
greater control over railway rates than
heretofore.
An important question to come up is
that given notice of by Adams of Caribou
who will move that, whereas a large
quantity of ore is now sent out of the
province to be smelted, and whereas. the
reduction of such ores in the province
would give employment to a large num-
Der of WOrkingmen, therefore the dOmn
ion government will be asked to place an
export duty on ore, to take effect one
year from date. This same question was
up some years ago, when the late John
Robson, then premier, then stated white
he sympathized with such motion, the
mining industry was too young then to
impose such conditions. AS an instance
of the growth of the mining industry
here, returns by the provincial mineralo-
gist show that altogether British Coium-
bia has produced $780, ,931 900 in minerals
since the beginning of the industry, and
for last year it was $4,S16,955, against ST.
S34 900 in 1895.
In the house today it was stated by the
attorney general that the government in-
tended to bring in a bill enabling towns
such as Rossland and Nelson to be incor-
porated at once instead Of making them
wait until January next, as the municipal
act now provides. This is to enable a
town ITO immediately undertake public
works, such as fire protection and sewer
age. After January l these towns will
then come under the general provisions of
municipalities.
