legislature of British Columbia will by
dissolved within the next five weeks

all probability the- mantle of the govtr
norship will fall on the shoulders of
F. C. Wade, a Vancouver lawyer, who
during the early days of the Klondike,
was crown prosecutor In the Yukon.
The governorship is a federal ap
pointment. Hon.Jamos Dunsmuir, the
richest citizen in Blitish Columbiln. h:J
been governor for three years and be
coming tired of the duties of the po
sition, Is resigning a year before the
completion of his term.
Though the possible life of the pre
sent British Columbia legislature Is
another year, It Is officially known
that Premier Meflride will go to the
country before Christmas. The rail
way development situation is largely
responsible for this move. The Can
adian Northern and the Grand Trunk
Pacific are engaged in a neck and
Deck race through tho Yellowstone
pass west of Edmonton, coming
tnrough 10 the Coau, and It is lo de
cl.le &oine important <iuestions regard

Tana had 74 passengers and the

probable that they will be able to get
out of the Ice until the spring break
up.

their Alaskan tour last night by pre
senting "Are You A Mason?" at
Elks hall before a fairly large and
very appreciative audience. The com
edy Is clever In both dialog and sit
uation and It was interpreted by the
best cast ever seen In Skagway ? or
Alaska.
The Frawley troupe is composed
of capable performers and the cast
is very well balanced. Those who
witnessed last night's performance re
gret that the Frawley company has
disbanded so that they cannot be
seen in a strictly legitimate drama,
such as "Madame Sans Gene," or
"The Little Minister."

was a passenger on U.e P'Jncess R-?
