the Teslin railroad, the re-
distribution bill and other questions
with which the present legislature wifl
have to deal. It is the general belief
that the government will bring down a
ill for re-distribution of seats. It is
argued that they will hardly dare to re-
fuse.

It is said that the government will
make a great effort to effect popular legi-
slation and tiereby regain the good will
of the people. With redistribution and
liberal appropriations for the rapidly
growing Yale and Kootenay districts it ia |
thought the government might be able
to carry those sections at the coming
election. If it‘is not done they feel that
the few members-from these districta
will surely go againat them.

Members of the government are very.
