With the exâ€" ception of the newspapers brbught from the city by the Metropolitan Railway no mail arrived in Richmond Hill on Tuesday until about 8 p.m., and then Mr. Proctor had to drive to Aurora for the mail bags, as it was impossible to get to Richmond Hill station. Yesterday morning, the roads being still blocked, the mail was taken to the station by a carrier who walked across the fields. The roads north and south were not very much drift-ed, consequently the Met- ropolitan made their regular trips, night and morning. The annual meeting of the Pres- byterian congregation was held in the church on the 27th of January. There was a good attendance. Rev. Mr. Grant presided and Mr. John Innes acted as secretary. Reports were read from the different organ~ izations of the congregation, show- ing a continued interest and a mark- ed progress in every department of the church work. Four new manâ€" agers were elected, Mr. Robert Mcâ€" Lean for one year, in place of Mr. Fred Jackes, who has moved. away, and Messrs. Matthew Boyle, John Savage and John Innes re-elected for three years. Messrs. John Boyle and Wm. Russell were elected auditors. The officers elected for the Ladies’ Aid are: President, Mrs. Grant; lst Vice-President, Mrs. John Boyle; 2nd Viceâ€"President, Miss Coulter;; Score tary, ~M-iss Powell; Treasurer, M‘fs. Skeele. At the close a Very enjOy- able social hour was spent, the lad- ies having provided excellent re- freshments. Fourteen below zero in Richmond Hill this morning. This must be the “open winter” the weather prophets told us about last fall. Mr. Wm. Vanderburgh died at his home on Tuesday of last week. Alâ€" though he had been in failing; health for the past year,-the announcement of his death came as a surprise to most people outside of his own house- hold. The funeral took place from his late residence to the Richmond Hill cemetery last Thursday and was largely attended. Besides his widow deceased leaves the following child- ren: Laura, Clara (Mrs. Bell), Rolph, George, Mable and Murray. Marriage LYNETT-D-IXONâ€"At St. Luke’s Church, Thornhill, on January 28th, by Rev. Father Grant, Miss C. J. Dixon of Victoria Square to Mr. E. J. Lynett of Richmond Hill. The Postmaster-General’s report for the fiscal year ended Slst March, 1907, covering nine months only, contains interesting information re- garding his department of the pub- lic services. The gross revenue for nine months amounts to $6,535,093.18 and the surplus, after paying all ex- penses, amounts to $1,082,301.59. A number from Maple went to Malvern on Friday to hear the Ora- torio “Queen Esther” given by Mr. place THIRTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of January 30, 1908 Toronto’s population is now said to be 355,726. The annual meeting of the Rich- mond Hill and Yonge Street Agri- cultural Society was held in the Lorne Hall on Saturday afternoon. The auditors report showed a sub- stantial balance on hand. The elec- Fietcher’s singing class of that ThefitiawaSpollight Ottawa, Feb. lâ€"T‘he Speech from the Throne with which every session of parliament is opened gives a gen- eral survey of the legislation which the government proposes to bring in (Luring the session. It also touches on general conditions in the country, but it makes no attempt to cover completely the work of parliament. It is a sign post indicating the road along which the governmen‘t‘and par- liament will travel. Many hills which will be presented to parliament have not vyet been drafted, and events transpiring while the session is on will doubtless raise issues and bring about legislation not contemplated at the opening- of the session. fit is therefore only in a general way that the speech delivered by His Excellency the Governor General at the beginning of the present session forecasts the course of the work of parliament during the next few months. In regard lto social legis- lation it. is clear that the g0vern- ment hopes to secure an early ap- proval by the provinces cf the amend- ment to the constitution which will allow parliament to pass its unem- ployment insurance measure. Whe- ther such approval will be forthcom- ing it is for the future to disclose. At the moment the chances do not seem very bright. omic and financial basis of confed- eration and the distrilbuticn of legis- 'lative powers “in the light of the new conditions which have arisen in the past seventy years". It was stated that the stresses strains which economic and social development since confederation havuerplaced on Canada’s governmental structure “Have disclosed the necessity for ad- justments which will enable it the more effectively to serve provincial and national needs and to promote and preserve Canadian unity”. The commission will continue for some months to gather the necessary in- formation; it will then issue its rues port with recommendations and then it will be in the hands of “appro-‘ priate authorities” to decide what should be done. ‘ A good deal of space was given to the work of the Royal Commis- sion on Dominion Provincial Rela- tions, which is examining the econ- The statement in the speech that arrangements are being completed for the inauguration of a national transâ€"Canada air service refers to the airway for which fields have been constructed throughout the Do- minion, which has already been mak- ing trial flights in the West and which in the coming summer will doubtless reach Montreal as a stand- ardized service. It is a gigantic un- dertaking but it will place Canad’a definitely on the air lines of the world, and will link with the trans- atlantic services coming into opera- tion before the end of 1940. The Transport department will sponsor legislation to extend the au- thority of them‘board of railway comâ€" missioners. Last session an endeav- or to create a transport board out of the railway commission was de- feated in the senate. This year changes in the original bill will he made to remove objections. that arose last session. One of the cardinal features of the original bill was to bring other forms of transport unâ€" der some degree of control, the rail- ways being the only form atvpresent regulated under the board of railway commissioners. Cbnsiderable interest will be a- roused when the legislatiori “with a view to furthering the principle ‘of tion of officers resulted as follows: President, George Leek; lst Vice-V President, George Gormley; 2nd Vice- President, George Pad‘get; Sec.- Treas., H.

It was decided to hold a seed show on the 11th of Febru- ary; also to add apples and. pears to the exhibits. The secretary. was au- thorized to procure speakers. A com- mittee of Messrs. Sanderson, Nich- olls, McMahon, Palmer, Pugsley and McNair were appointed to pr0vide special attractions for the Annual Fair on the 24th of May; and Messrs. Sanderson. McMahOn and the secre- tary were appointed a concert com- mittee. By Spectator parliamentary control of the export Iof power.” is introduced“ This ques- 'tion of power export, it will be re- membered. was the occasion. of a lively exchange of views between the ,prime minister of the Dominion and I'the premier of Ontario, Gratification was expressed at the ‘ sulbstantial economic advance of Can- ‘ada at the increase in revenues, the expansion in trade, the increase in ‘ employment and the decrease in the numbers receiving unemployment as- sistance. On the other hand in 'the 1mind‘s of legislators there must be 'some anxiety over conditions in the United States and the pessible efâ€" fect these may have on Canadian in- 1dustry if they! do not soon impr0ve-. The country will wait with inter- est the terms of the new treaty 'be- tween Canada and the United! States, which the,speech‘ said is in process 'of negotiation. It will 'be very much interested in the trade agreement which will be concluded between the United Kingdom and the United States. Eastern as well as Western Can- adra will have been pleased: to learn that the activities of the Prairie Farm (Rehabilitation Act will con- tinue. The wonk already done under the terms of this act has merited more credit and publicity than it has received. The expansion premised) in the efforts to train unemployed young 'people will also meet with general approval. The Canadian people share with the government its anxiety. over the international situation, and will view with sympathy the efforts which the speech stated the government has made, where opportunity offered, to promote intern tionél understanding and goodwill. hey will also be in full accord with the statement that “The government is convinced! that in seeking to co-operate with the United Kingdom and other countries in efforts to promote international trade, it is pursuing one of the most effective means of ensuring secur- ity and progress in Canada and the betterment of conditions in other parts of the World.” SKATING ADMISSION Wednesday 15c., Children 14 and under 10c.
