BRITISH PARLIAMENT
? OPENED LAST MONDAY
London, Nov. 6—Ona of the great
est1 crowds ever seen in Westmin
1 ister Monday witnessed the im
pressive opening of I the new Par
liament. Interest was at high pitch
because this Parliament will finall
enact Home Rule for I Ireland and
will deal with woman suffrage un
less Premier Asquith again breaks
his promise to allow the House of
Commons to consider another votes
for-women measure.
When'Viscount Haldaue, Lord
High Chancellor took his place on
the Woolsack in the House of Lords
and the Rt. Hon. I James William
i Lowther, Speaker of the House of
Commons, ascended to his bench, ev
ery gallery was packed. Many peer
esses and Bociety folk in brilliant
gowns and uniforms were in attend
ance. The Lord High Chancellor
read the "Speech from the Throne"
which formally opened the body.
This corresponds to the Presidents'
message in the American Congress.
Formerly the King read these doc
■ uments in person, but of late years
they are read by the presiding of
ficer of the •• upper house. Parlia
ment was prorogued on August 16,
All the members of the Commons
held over, so that the political com
plexion of the body Is unchanged.
RAILROADS ARE NEEDED
TO DEVELOP MINING
* The advances in lode-gold mining
development in the Yukon basin of
Alaska during 1912 were largely
confined to the Fairbanks district,
aocording to A. H. Brooks, of the
United States Geological Survey.
There was also a small lode mine
In operation in the Innoko district,
and a little work was done on lode
prospects i in the Ch&ndalar Forty
mile, and other Yukon districts. Mos
of thesee localities of lode occur
rence are so isolated ithat the cost
of operation is almost prohibitive.
It is only through reducing trans
portation costs by building railroads
and wagon roads that any advances
in the lode mining industry of inlan
Alaska can be brought about. Gener
ous railroad development in Alaska
would result iu the opening up of
innumerable rich mineral districts.

During my absence in Seattle, A.
M. Rousseau will have charge of
