almost similar to rural land, and therefore he urged that the board should be allowed some discretion m the matter. If urban and suburban lands were taken out of the Bill those lending institutions already existing would keep up the rates of such lands. This scheme should be used to secure a general lowering of the rates of interest all over the country. Sir Robert Stout asked why they should not have a state pawnshop which was the logical outcome of this Bill. He held that they had no right to confine the granting of cheap money to one class oE the community. Mr Massey said that this proposal had come on them as a surprise as up to a day or two ago there was no notice whatever. The Bill should apply to the towns as well as to the country. Mr G. J. Smith did not see why the country members who wanted money for farmers should object to have a like boon for the manufacturers m towns.

After further discussion Mr Cairn croso' amendment was lost by 37 to 17. Mr Thompson moved that the words "under the Land Transfer Act, 1885," be struck out. His object was to provide that advances could be made on all freehold land, otherwise very few could avail themselves of the advantages of the scheme. Mr Ward could not accept the amendment. Land transfer was an indefeasible title, and the general ten dency now was to bring all land under that Act. After considerable discussion Mr Ward agreed to allow the sub-section to be altered so as to include as land on which advances may be made that held under the Deeds Registration Act, 1868. Mr Thompson's amendment was lost on the voices, and Mr Ward's amend ment carried by 44 to 10. In clause 24, leases under the Land Act of 1892, small grazing runs and mining leases were included as securi ties upon which money can be raised. The clause as amended was added to the Bill. Clause 27—Agents may raise a sum not exceeding £1,500,000 m any year. Mr Montgomery moved to reduce this amount by £500,000 which would still leave £1,000,000 to be borrowed, and this he thought sufficient for one year.

1$ Mr Ward opposed the amendment. He pointed out that if only £1,000,000 was authorised, only the sum would be raised, and he thought if the Bill was a good one they should be authorised to borrow the full amount asked for by it, He held m his hand applications from a large number of people, many of them with good security. After a lengthy discussion the divi sion on Mr Montgomery's amendment resulted m atie—ayes 28, noes 28. The following is the division list:— Ayes (28)—Allen, Bell, Buick, Cam cross, Crowther, Earnshaw, Fraser, Graham, Green, Heke, Hutchison G., Lang, McKeDzie, T.» Maslin, Massey, McGuire, McNab, Meredith, Mitchel son, Montgomery, Newman, O'Regan, Eussell, W. R., Smith, G, J., Stout, Tanner, Thompson, Wilson. Noes (28)—Buddo, Carnell, Carroll, Collins, Flatman, Hall, Hall-Jones, Harris, Hogg, Houston, Joyce* Kelly, "W., Larnach, Lawry, Macintosh. Mc- Gowan, McKenzie, R., McLachlan, Mills, Morrison, Parata, Pinkerton, Pirani, Russell, G. W., Seddon, Smith, E. M., Ward, Willis. Pairs. — Ayes — Button, Duthie, Buchanan, Kelly, J. W. Noes— Mackenzie, J., Cadman, Reeves, Stevens.

Mr Guinness gave his casting vote against the amendment, and declared it lost. Mr Montgomery then moved to strike out the words "m any one year." Mr Ward opposed the amendment. The Premier said that if the Govern ment found that the Bill was not ■working well it could be easily repealed, and that would be better than limiting it to one year. He warned the House not to make the Bill a dead letter. After a lengthy discussion Mr Ward accepted a suggestion by Mr Oarncross to limit the operation of the Act to two years, which would give the scheme a fair trial. Mr Montgomery accepted this com promise, and said he had no sympathy with those who wished to kill the Bill. He asked leave to withdraw his amend ment, but leave was refused, and on a division the amendment was lost by 28 to 27. Mr Ward moved a proviso to the clause that the Bill should only have effect for two years, and that the total amount to be raised under the Bill m the aggregate should not exceed £3,000,000. This was adopted and the clause as amended agreed to. Clause 81 —Rate of interest on bonds, debentures, etc.—Sir Robert Stout moved that the rate of interest on de bentures or bonds be 3| per cent, in stead of 4 per cent.

The amendment was opposed by Mr Ward. Sir Robert Stout's amendment was lost by 84 to 18, and the clause passed unaltered. Clauses up to number 38 passed ■without amendment, and Mr U. J. Smith then moved to report progress. Several members supported the motion, urging that the House had done a good night's work, and that the next part of the Bill contained matter of a very debateable character. Ministers opposed the motion, saying there was a majority m favor of the Bill, and the House should go on with it now, otherwise the Bill would occupy some days yet. After further discussion, a division on Mr Smith's motion resulted m a tie ayes 27, noes 27. The Chairman gave his casting vote against the motion* which was therefore lost. It was suggested that a new standing order be framed to prevent members sleeping m the House. If this were done there would be earlier adjourn ments. . ' Captain Russell entered very strong protests against these late sittings. Matters m this respect were becoming absolutely unbearable, Mr Seddon suggested that the deba teable clauses be postponed,and that the House should dispose of the others, which would not take many minutes. He denied that he was forcing business, and asked members to be reasonable. After further discussion, clause 39— Colonial Treasurer may raise sums by

land bonds—was passed. The motion of Mr Earnshaw to re port progress was lost by 32 to 21. Clause 40 was postponed, and the Premier then moved to report progress, stating he found it impossible to make [ further progress with the Bill at this sitting. This was agreed to, and the House rose at 3 a.m. <

A. and P. Assciation.

A meeting of the Committee of the Ashburton Agricullual and Pastoral Association was held m the Arcade rocus yesterday. Mr Shearer occupied the chair. BINDER TWINE. The Buckeye Harvester Company for warded a recommendation of the Hawkes Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Asso ciation that the duty be removed from binder twine. Mr Boaifanb moved that the Association concur with the proposal. Mr D. Thomas strongly objected to the duty being removed from binder twine, and denied that by legitimate buy ing and selling it could be obtained cheaper by importing than from our own manufacturers. So soon as the duty was removed it might become a little cheaper, and remain so for a couple of years, until the low price had smashed up our present suppliers, and then the farmers would find that instead of four pence, as at pre sent, they would have to pay eightpence. The motion was put and carried, Mr Thomas being the only dissentient, and he warned the members that witn the duty removed they would pay another thirty per cent, for their twine within three years. THE CURRENCY QUESTION. The Canterbury Chamber of Commerce wrote, forwarding a copy of the resolution passed by that chamber recently with re- ■ gard to the currency question. Considera tion was deferred for a fuller meeting, DONATION. '

Mr John McLaehlan, M.H.R, wrote asking that the Association do not press his election as a member, as he was already a member of the Ellesmere A. and P. Association, Mr McLachlan, however, agraed to make a donation of two guineas towards the Association's prize fund. It was resolved that Mr McLachlan be thanked for his donation. APOLOGY. I Mr Rosendale forwarded an apology for non-attendance. THE BRANCH LINES. The Railway Commissioners wrote, stating that excursion rates would be granted on the branch lines of Methven and Mount Somers lines for the show. THE RANGIORA A. AND P. ASSOCIATION, Mr Thomas referred to the difficulty which existed m the dates of the Rsragiora and the Ashburton show clashing with each other. The Chairman explained that the date of the Ashburton Show was fixed at the annual meeting. The day gwas always fixed for two daya after the Timaru Show, whereas the Rangiora's was a fixed date, without reference to other shows. On Mr Thomaa' motion it was decided that the secretary be instructed to write to the Rangiora Association explaining the position, and asking them to alter their date as it was impossible for this As sociation to make an alteration. NEW MEMBERS. Four new members were elected. PBIVATE PRIZKS. One of the President's cups was set aside for the exhibitor securing most points m all classes for horses, and the other for the exhibitor securing most points m pure-bred sheep, m classes m which there are no less than three exhi bitors.

The meeting then adjourned.

ALFORD FOREST

Own Correspondent The football match, played at Mount Somers on Saturday last between the second Ashburton team and the Springburn. ended m a win for the latter by six points to noth ing. Great excitement and jubilation along the hills m consequence. j Considering the late Spring and the cold frosty nights, there is no great complaint yeb of the lambing season. A resident having lost several ewes. (In lamb) from symptoms which prove ifc is the same as ex perienced this year m many quarters, he re solved to try an experiment on the next one. He bled it, both ears and on the nose, just under the eyes, and the ewe recovered rapidly. This may be of some use to others. Nearly every house for miles has been visited with influenza, some cases being very critical, but happily without a single fatality, j though second attacks were common. Winter still lingers on the hills, one re sult of the snow lying so long being the ar rival of the kea almost at the foot of the hills, where he displays his usual predilic tion for fat well conditioned sheep, and ex traordinary cunning m avoiding his pursuers. Moonlight nights have been the occasion of his most persistent and disastrous attacks. If curses, loud and deep, would kill, not many would survive to trouble the sheep owner. ___^_
