The annual Interior seed fair, i wliiui was held at Vanderhoof on I Friday, pioved a very successful un- ! dertakmg. The numoer of exhibits, altnough somewhat less than those at I the fair held in Prince George last! year, was fully representative of the! districts. The quality of the seed! and roots exhibited indicated the' growers are becoming more convers-' ant with the assembling and select-! ing of material for exhibition pur- j poses; it being evident considerable i care and effort had been devoted by i the exhibitors in the preparation of! their samples.

While it was not to be expected that quality would be an outstanding feature, due to adverse climatic and i i i j

Although the number of entries in I the potato classes might have been greater, it was pleasing to note the selection of certified seed and com- j mercial potatoes would compare very favorably with similar crops produced in other sections of the province.
The classes for oats and for Alsike clover were particularly well contested.

Government Faced with Problem of a Very Narrow Majority in the Legislature
QUEBEC, Nov. 25�Premier Taschereau got a surprise in the provincial elections today when his government narrowly escaped defeat through a combination of Independent Liberals and Conservatives. Late tonight it appeared the government had carried 47 seats and the combined opposition 48. This would mean a loss of 36 seats for the government, a.s in the last legislature Premier Tascner-eau had a following of 79. Of the 43 opposition members returned 26 are described as National Liberals and 17 as Conservatives. The two factions made a common fight against the government and their candidates did not oppose each other in the several constituencies. The opposition made several notable gains two ministers of the Taschereau government going down to defeat. The revolt of the Liberals from the leadership of Taschereau was led by Paul Gouin. a son of the late Sir Lomer Gouin. who for many years was the leader of the Liberal party in Quebec. Paul Gouin is expected to lead the opposition in. the next legislature.
The election was one of the most s'ormy in recent years. The police seized a large quantity of tickets which it is said were intended to as-� sist in impersonations at the polls, one ballot-box is reported to have been stolen, and upwards of 150 men were placed under arrest

Do Your Christmas Shopping at Home
CHRISTMAS with its usual festivities is but four weeks off and most people are concerning themselves with the problem of thr gifts they will -make to the children a.s well a.s to relatives and friends of more mature years. There is no reason of the year to which the young folk
� � _ . . . look forward to with any-
thing like the enthusiasm they show for Chiistnm.s. and for the most part they will now be fashoning their conduct to show, themselves deserving when the great festival arrives. Christmas. Lakes a great wallop at the family budget each year, but this is accepted in the remembrance we were all kids once and even though it may not have meant much to us we are-resolved there shall be no reason for any slackening of faith in Santa Clans by the youngsters of today. Now when you have made up your list of intended presents pay a visit to the local stores and sec* what they have to offer before deciding to send out of town. In buying at home you have the advantage of examining: your purchases, and you save bo'h time, worry and postage. All of thr merchants who advertise have made arrangements to stock tip for the Christmas trade and arc willing to accept a deposit upon any desired purchase. There ts a community benefit in the money which is kept in-local circulation. There is none when the money is sent to some store on the out-side.
George Jackland passed away m the city hospital on Friday at the advanced age of 83 years. His army document disclose him as having been one of the few survival'.:* of the campaigns in India and Afghanih-stan under the late Lord Roberts, as well as having served the crown as a volunteer, in the rebellion of Louis! Reil, in the pioneer days of the Can- i adian Northwest.
George Jackland was born in Lon-, don. England in 1850, enlisted in the] 29th Foot regiment in October 1870, j and embarked for general service in : India January 1871, landing at Bom-bay a month later. He was invalided home in 1874, but returned to India! for the Jowaki expedition. 1877-8 and | the Afghan uprising of the following | year. In the 2nd Norfolk battalion he j was in the memorable march to Kan- ' dahar and earned the Jowaki and Kabul medals, suffering an eye in- ' jury and sabre wound in the arm in the Afghan campaign.
He.was abroad the first troopship to pass through the newly-built Suez canal en route to Bombay.
In the Great War. Jackland found it necessary to dye his moustache before the medical board would look at him, but he was finally pawed for home service and was detailed to hospital work in Winnipeg. With cen-eral demobilization in 1918 he came west to Prince George where Thos. j W. Herne. government agent, found a post for the old campaigner part cf his duties being to see that the flag- was at the masthead every day.
In 1922 he married Annie Fraser and the following year retired from government service to take a part time position with the Northern Hardware Company of this city. He had many friends In the district and was usually on hand at any flag-raising ceremony. Jackland's last warlike act took place in the government agenV.s office when a young lady from Somerset conceived the idea that the Union Jack would keep ,her feet warm while at work.
The deceased leaves a son and two daughters in England by a former marriage and his widow in Prince i George. It is said "Old soldiers never | die they simply fade away." Jackland ' was typically an old soldier, carried I his medals well and dearly liked to I be. "on parade." The familiar figure will be missing next Dominion Day | and the flag may be raised by aj younger veteran, but the belief re- | mains that It war, mei> of the old j campaigns who consolidated the em- | pire and passed along those tradi- i tions which the younger generations find in the present text books, and perhaps the passing of Jackland j marks the end of our link with the military expansion of the Victorian period. �
The funeral took place on Wednes- j day afternoon under auspices of the | local branch of the Canadian Legion, Rev. Archdeacon Pollinger officiating,
The pall-bearers were William Bex- I on. Charles Gow. Owen Hanson. S. j Robert-son, W. Tapper and R. A. Pcoley. At the grave the La.si Post | was sounded by Bugler ,J. Aikcn.

Hard Times were Chief Factor in Drop in Volume Between Years 1929-193^3
U. S. TARIFFS RAISED
Canadian Lumber and Cattle were Hardest Hit of Exports to the United States
Although the latest figures available show a remarkable falling off in the trade between Canada and the United States since 1929 there is no reason to expect thus trade can bo brought back to anything like its proportions in 1929 through the operation of the new trade agreement. To begin with 1929 marked the height of a boom when most people were buying what they wanted, with little thought of payment. Now. on both sides of the international boundary the people for the mast part are restricting purchases almost entirely to necessities. This is the explanation for the shrinkage of Canada's Imports from the United States from $949,-446,342 in 1929 to $210,651,312 in 1933. and for the shrinkage in Canadian exports to the United States from $503,496,245 in 1929 to $185,408,850 in 1933. There was some improvement shown in the figures for 1934 but it was by no means striking and nmo as the result of improved conditions, and with no change in tariffs.
A mistake is being made in Canada in stressing the fact that in the new agreement such commodities as newsprint, pulpwood and woodpulp remain on the free list in the United States. These and other items remain on the free list for a very good reason that under the powers conferred upon him by the congress President Roosevelt was specifically restrained from taking any commodity off the existing free list, or of adding any commodity to it.
A detailed statement of the exports and imports of Canada's trade with the Unted States for the years 1929 and 1933- respectvely become very informative when studied in the light of the reciprocal trade treaty and the empire trade agreements, with which the reciprocal trade treaty is not to interfere. �
