' ' L` Press Gallery Legislature, A g s g Feb. 16th, 1902. ` T Truly the week just closed leaves. the ; Government in a`very bad `state of ` mind. Harrnwed by the practical oriti cisms of the Opposition speakers they have complained loudly that the `Con? servatives were blocking legislation by prolonging the debate; Mr. Whitue-, s reply was prompt and to the point Bring down your legislation and we will gem: with it. Thus cornered Mr. Ross announced that he would have his prohibition bill ready for Tues day, and the Opposition readily agreed to close-the debate on `Friday night. But again the Premier faltered. He u approaches the [prohibition measure which is already drafted and provides for a referendum and requires a three fths prohibition` majority, with fear and trembling. Those prohibition views he once held may be near to his heart yet, but he yearns with a great yearn ing for the liquor vote. Consequently he decided it would be better for the debate to go on yet a little longer in order that the prohibition may remain hidden. ` I a I 4- .I,' I :------------~?~ V W Tllyollon should secure a.

The Premier stated, and the Globe re port prove: that he did, that in the thirty years of Liberal rule, 5.152 milea of timber lands had been aoldi. at "V an average price of $1,324 per square mile. Asia matter of fact the sales were 5,001 square-miles more than _ the Premier stated and the average was $725 _ per aquare mile and not $1,324" per mile. The error the Premier made was in leaving out the sale of October 15th, 1872 when the averageprivce was $117.- 79 per aquarejmile. , . _. , G . Mr. Rose got angry as he wriggled to get out oi the corner. He even re. pudinted that good old journal for which he often writes editoriale-the Globe. He declared he had referred. only to the lee subsequent to the Blake Government. G But _he had to deny the Globe report and he could not deny that the Blake Government was a Liberal Government and that the sale must be counted in those thirty years l of which he is accustomed to boost. ,, _L- -L--- ..., 2.. 1-1!

He called the attention of the House this week to the unworkable act passed a couple of years ago and asked that something be done in the matter. He forced Hon.

Nothing more is needed to convince anyone that the scheme has been of. little benet thanthe reply of Hon. G.

For the benet of those in doubt Mr. Whitesidesinformed the Coun- cil that the elections would be held on the 28th of May and the nominations seven days previous. Finally, on motion of Messrs.
