COLONEL PECK FAVORS
NEW PROVINCE
Prince Hupert Member Would
Divide B.C. on 52nd
Parallel
OTTAWA, March 24�The formation of a new province of Canada, consist Inn of "all that portion of British Columbia which lies north of the 52nd parallel, north latitude, and including the Yukon territory, subject to the approval of a majority of the electors of all the territory mentioned as determined by plebiscite," is being moved by Colonel Peck, V.C., seconded by Alfred Thompson of the Yukon.
The effect of this resolution may be the securing of better recognition of the northern half of British Columbia. Even should it fall short of the aim of the mover of the resolution, and its seconder, the representative in the commons for the Yukon territory. As proposed in the resolution, Col. Peck would divide the province north and south on an east and west line running through Hanceville, Cariboo, and Prince George would have a common interest with Daw-son citv.
WORK W'UA BE COMMENCED THIS SPRING AND TO ENSURE SUPPLY OF CREAM SELECTED DAIRY CATTLE WILL BE IMPORTED BY THE SETTLERS IMMEDIATELY.
The Mud River and Beverly Farmers' Institute held one of their most successful meetings on March lOth, with practically all the farmers of the district in attendance, the main business of the gathering being to com- plete arrangements with Mr. Bagot for the establishment of a creamery.
The district is well known as^one of the very choice locations in this country from a farming standpoint, and is being farmeIay.
A petition is also being forwarded to Ottawa asking that a Post Office be established at Mud River, and another at Beverly, the settlers feeling confident (hat the district is sufficiently settled to warrant action on the part of the authorities.
, This association has made good progress "luring the past year, and the membership is increasing at a very satisfactory �rate.

VICTORIA, March 2:i�\V. .J. Bowser, leader of the opposition, made his .speech on the budget yesterday. He, was not very happy in his remarks and drew a rather gloomy picture of provincial finances. He dealt with the failure of the government to keep its pre-election promises to the municipalities, to come to their relief. He said nothing in the direction of real relief was offered to the municipalities by the government's program. This neglect was shown although !>U per cent, of the people of the province were vitally interested in the municipalities. Mr. Bowser condemned the practice introduced of voting lump sums in the estimates to cover the various contemplated expenditures in the district votes, and he charged the government with concealing from the house its intentions with regard to expenditures of this nature. Reckless extravagance, he said, was the chief characteristic of the administration, and he specifically referred to the increase in the salary list for the ensuing- year as quite unwarranted. His objection was not to the amount of the salaries paid by the admrnis-l rat ion but to the practice which had grown up of having two men to do one man's work. He predicted that, unless something were done to cheek the reign of extravagance, the province would drift into financial chaos. The budget promised increased taxation for next year and the outlook was certainly forbidding.
