H. CAMPBELL OSWALD, Ota Secretary. The Associated Boards of Trade of Southern British Columbia, held its third annual session, Friday and Saturday of last week at Greenwood, over forty delegates being in attendance representing fifteen local boards. C. S. Galloway of Greenwood was elected president, and H. W. Jackson of Rossland, secretary and treasurer. Resolutions were passed reaffirming those of last year respecting various matters affecting the mineral, agricultural and business development of the province. The chief discussion took place on a Btrong resplution in favor of the open door policy as to railways, insisting on the right of Southern British Columbia to improve railway communication and advocating the granting of charters to lines proposing to build with this object from the United States. It was very warmly debated but finally carried with only four dissenting votes. The address of the retiring president, J. Roderick Robertson, was read by the secretary. It reviewed the situation as he saw it relative to the matters now bearing on the various important industries of the province, advised caution in the matter of admitting American railway enterprise across the line into the province, and also that care should be taken to avoid recommendations that might lead to legislative enactments burdensome tofitpital invested in mining. The secretary's report and financial statement was then adopted. A vote of thanks was accorded the Phoenix Board of Trade for the offer to take the delegates to visit Phoenix. The report of the committee on resolutions was dealt with after lunch. The numerous resolutions adopted at the previous convention hut the objects of which were not yet aohieved, were reaffirmed. It was decided that the time was not now opportune for the coast boards of trade to join this association. It was recommended to the government to make a thoroughly representative exhibit at the forthcoming Toronto exhibition and regret was expressed that expense prevents similiar representation at the Buffalo exhibition. The urgent necessity for the early construction of a railway from the coast to Kootenay was affirmed, and aid to the same recommended with specific precautions to control rates and keeping in view ultimate ownership by the government, Other railway resolutions were passed favoring the granting of a charter for the Kootenay-Central railway from Crow's Nest road, up Kootenay and Columbia valleys to Golden, and railway from Midway or Rock Creek, via the west fork of Kettle river and Mission valley to Vernon, A long and interesting discussion occurred on a motion emphatically declaring for free trade in railways and advocating that all bona fide railway companies desirous of building railways in the province be permitted to do so. An amendment which, whilst supporting free and unrestricted railway construction through the province asked that the granting of a charter to the proposed railway from the international boundary to the Crow's Nest collieries be delayed, pending a thorough, exhaustive examination into the effect of the construction of that road might have upon the mining and smelting industries of this province was defeated' on a vote of thirty against, to five in favor. Other resolutions favored the passing of a. general railway act increasing the facilities for the interchange of mails between Kootenay lake points and the United StateB via Bonners' Ferry; bonus of five dollars per ton on Canadian lead smelted and refined in Canada; redistribution of legislative seats upon an equitable basis of area and population immediately after the next Dominion census; appointment of Dominion minister of mines; precautions to ensure an adequate supply of coal and coke to local mines and smelters, and numerous other subjects. The convention adjourned at half past six until Saturday morning. A complimentary banquet was given to visiting delegates Friday night. A special train from Greenwood on Sunday, for the accomodation of the visitors had been asked for by telegraph. A resolution favoring the creation of a new county to be called "South Kootenay" offered by the Rossland delegates, was withdrawn in favor of the following: "Whereas, the Dominion parliament has voted a salary for an additional county court judge for British Columbia, and . "Whereas, it is absolutely essential that such judge be given to the Boundary district, and "Whereas, it is necessary in order to accomplish such purpose to di vide the present counties of Yale and Kootenay into three counties, and "Whereas, the logical mode of division iB to group in one county points on the same line of railway, "Resolved, by this Association that the present counties of Yale and Kootenay should be re-divided into three counties at follows: All the northern portions of said counties along the main line of the C. P. R. to be grouped together into one county, the southern portion of Kootenay to be second county, and the southern portion of Yale to be a third county." Resolved, "that the small debt's acts t-hould be amended by introducing therein a provision giving the right to garnish before judge ment." There were more than 100 persons present at the banquet on Friday night "tendered by the citizens of Greenwood to the delegates of the Associated Boards of Trade and in recognition of the formal blowing in of the local smelting plants." The chair was filled by the mayor of Greenwood (Dr. R. W. Jakes). The toast list was as follows: "The King," "Associated Boards of Trade of British Columbia," "Our Smelting Industries," Our Commercial Interests," "The Relations of the Coast to the Boundary-Koot- enay Country," "The Provincial Legislature," and "The Ladies,"' The following resolutions were also passed by the convention: "Resolved, That the provincial government be asked to insist upon immediate selection by the B. C. Southern railway company and Columbia & Western railway company of the lands to which under their subsidy acts tbey are entitled in order that tbe reserves now covering an enormous extent of land in Bast and West Kootenay and Yale may be cancelled." "Resolved, Whereas, no sitting: of the supreme court has ever been held in the Boundary district, which has two supreme court registries, four incorporated cities, and a very growing population, and whereas, tbe present arrangements for the administration of justice throughout the whole interior of the province are exceedingly defective and inadequate, and whereon, all the supreme court judges reside at the coast, this association requests the Dominion and provincial governments to remedy these grievancies by requiring one of the supreme court judges to reside in the interior; and "Whereas, great expense is inflicted on the province as well as the people hy the fact that there are no sittings of the impreme court in the Boundary district, this Association requests the provincial government to have such sittings held without delay both for civil and criminal cases." "Resolved, Whereas, from time to time, applications continue to be made to the legislative assembly of British Columbia, by private parties and companies asking for special privileges in regard to water rights; 'Water Clauses Consolidation act' giyesevery facility lobona fide applicants to obtain water for every legitimate purpose and that no special legislation regarding water should be passed; and resolved, that this Association strongly protest against any legislation which might override the control of cities over their own water franchise and other franchises. Several amendments and additions to the constitution and bylaws were made.' Among them was Continued on 4th page.

Last week our citizens were inspired with renewed hope in the future, in the return of the local engineer and manager of the Cascade Water Power & Light company, as it was expected that work on this -enterprise would be recommenced in some form on that great enterprise. It is said however, that the failure of Mr. W. C. Simmons, ihe ���construction foreman, to return here a month ago, and do certain preliminary work which it was expected would lie well under way on the return here of Engineer Anderson, precludes the undertaking of that work until after the high spring water has receded. While there may be nothing in this story at all, the delay in beginning operations is more or less disappointing locally. However, it is authoritatively stated that the entire undertaking will be completed this year. If our citizens could know this statement to be one of absolute {act, they would realize that a little later, the work would have to be pushed with great vigor. In relation to the railways, we ���we have also been more or less stirred, by the fact that railway surveyors have been working in this vicinity and between here and Orand Forks. The survey through the townsite ruiiB over the point above the Mayall residence and skirts around near the residences of T. F. Carden and Paul Rochussen. By whom this survey has been made it is not known, but some think it is by the C. P. R., as the chief engineer makin% the survey is said to be one of the ablest in the employ of tbat corporation. And there you have it. Ciicide'i Taxpayers' Auoclitloa Thiws Ont. The rattle and din of bo many new railroads and smelters throughout this province, and especially in this immediate vicinity, has aroused the remains of the once proud and powerful Taxpayers' Association of Cascade from its "Rip- Van Winkle" sleep, and it hap burst from its eepulcheral confines, and come forth its the young butterfly, but with the vigor of a young lion. -Several meetings have already been held, and more are to follow, til! its machinery is again in active and healthy operation. A committee has been appointed to "dig up" all the matured male population, and connect it with this organization, which can be made a great power lor good in this locality. This committee is now at work, and when it is ready to report, another meeting will be held, and reorganization effected. Ther* is need of the help of this association, and there iB need of the co-operation of all our citizens to make it a most useful institution. A new lease of life of this community is at bund. Let us be up and doing. A Bold BsrfSlsry it Orand Fork.. Last Saturday morning at 2.30 o'clock a bold robber smashed the window in Mayor M. D. White's jewelry store on Bridge Btreet, .Grand Forks, snatched two oases of rings set with diamonds and other stones, valued at $1,000. and made good his escape. The robber wits evidently cognizant of the movements of the people in the store, as that night was the first lime for months the place had been left alone, Frank White, brother of the proprietor usually sleeping in the rear.

It will be no offensive dis- cloBUre to say Miss Evelyn was four years of age on this occasion. Mr. D. C.

Mr. Beach snys everything continues to look most favorable, and that with the expenditure of a little more time and money, there will be some good shipping mines in his section. Mr. F. E. Starkey, who has heen in the east the past two or three months, ia expected home soon. Miss McCoy, daughter of Rev. Joseph McCoy���whom we,all know nnd admire, arrived here on the wei-t-hnund train this afternoon. The lady is gifted with remarkable musical talent, which has heen rendered most entertaining and useful by cultivation and practice. She will remain here a few days, and it ia hoped that during her stay some arrangement may be made which will enable us all tn listen to the voice of this sweet songster, and an effort may be made tn provide a program for Monday night next, with the accomplished young lady as the star performer.

Member) Owing to delay to the west bound train caused by snow-slides on the C, & W. railway, the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia were unable to begin the transaction of business until Friday morning, 1st March, when there assembled in the City Hall, Greenwood, forty delegates from the different towns of the interior. Many diverse interests were represented. Fernie sent champions of the coal and coke industry; from Rossland came the men of the mines; from Trail (woe unto them I) the warriors of the C. P. It., and from Kamloops descended upon the unwitting south the ardent and brilliant advocate of the "Dry Belt." A little criticism iB a' salutary thing, und what is here stated .is given in no carping spirit, but in the hope that the "tyees" of future conventions may take a hint. Much time was waated in getting the business of the convention or*' ganized, and substantial improvement could be made in many of the present methods. With a perfect organization and executive the card of business should be ready for consideration, as soon as the meeting is called to order, and this end could be achieved by treating for discussion no subjects other than those submitted to the executive by the respective local boards prior to the meeting. All local boards would, in that case, be advised fully by the General Secretary of the business to be transacted, bo that delegates would come fully prepared to discuss the different questions brought before them, The executive should also prepare a general form of credential, to be used by all local boards alike, which would save endless scrutiny and wrangling by the Credentials Committee as to the seating of delegates. Further, the practice of referring all business to a .Committee on Resolutions before submitting it to the full meeting is a grave error, as it stifles discussion, many delegated being apparently too ready, without fully considering ils scope and value, to assent to any resolution that is made-to- order in committee. Open discussion in the full meeting of delegates would generate more motions, based on different points of view, and would give rise to much more lively debates than is now the case. No better proof of this could be stated than that at the Convention when sufficient interest was taken in any proposed resolution to provoke division of opinion, the amendment usually carried,and was in most cases more valuable than the motion���fathered in the Resolutions Committee���which it defeated. Another most unfortunate feature of the Convention was the unrestrained verbosity of two or three gentlemen who seemed to think it needful to speak on every question brought up, and with every accompaniment of wearisome reiteration possible. Those individuals evidently deemed their colleagues incapable of transacting the business laid before them, and took upon themselves the heat and burden of the fray. While the rules of the convention provided for a limit to speeches, no attempt was made to enforce them. When, 0 when will public speakers learn that "brevity is the soul of wit?" What was most amusing was that one of the worst offenders made sarcastic allusions to the prolixity of other speakers 1 To the Silent Member, at the convention for information, like many . another, there was much weariness of the flesh. During the afternoon the Convention settled down to re-affirm resolutions passed at the former annual meeting, and to discuss the business brought before it by the Committee ou Resolutions. The railway question was the burning one, and it aroused the keenest interest. Very able speeches were made by Messrs, Robs, of Greenwood, and Goodeve and Oliver, of Rossland; but the heavy weights of tbe debate were Mr. Benlly of Fernie, who demolished the figures of hi-, opponents, based on fancy, by a parallel set of figures, based on truth and supported by documentary evidence; and Mr. Smith CurtiB, M. P. P., who concluded the debate by a most concise, crisp and convincing speech, logical and irresistible, which utterly crushed the enemies of "Free Trade in Railways".. The vote surely satisfied Messrs. Goodeve and Oliver and the warriors from Trail, that their efforts to retain this country as a preserve for the C. P. R. are not popular with the people���31 to 5 is heavy odds. There are yet left in our lftnd a few people who are afraid of our country's greatness, and whom the shadow of a threat by a railway monopoly frightens into hysterics. Nothing could have surpassed, on the other hand, Mr. CurtiB' magnifficent courage in the extent of our resources and in the power of our governments, Provincial and Dominion, to enact legislation that will bring any trust to its kneeB. His final words were, "Last century was the century of the United States'; this is the century of Canada!" And the thunders of applause that followed were proof that the audience was with him. The only other matter of very vital interest to the people of Cascade was the proposal by the Rossland delegates to recommend the inclusion of the entire Boundary district with Rossland in a new judicial county of South Kootenay. To this proposal, Mr. R. B. Kerr, of Phoenix, offered the most determined opposition, and it was finally withdrawn. Why Rossland should be so anxious to retain Boundary under its wing in all things is truly wonderful. That it should desire to have the lion's share of the public works appropriations on the other hand, is not wonderful; and when the Gold Commissioner begins to remember there is yet a little country to the West of his own dear town of Rossland, there is mighty little of the money left for our much-needed repairs. And now those greedy people want to make Rossland our country townl "0 wad some poo'er the giftie gie us, tae see oorsels as it hern see us I " Mr. Smith Curtis again distinguished himself at the banquet in the evening, by making a most eloquent speech, and it is easy to see that he has won many former antagonists to his support. His supporters are amply justified in believing that he will bt the leader of the next Provincial government, Rarely does a public man combine so much tact with hard logic and forcible eloquence. His opponents must needa submit to irrefutable argument, without prejudice or personal feeling. Mr. Kerr is another coming man already of much value to the public, and his career will be an interesting one to follow. Speeches were made by others throughout which ran a strain of entire faith in the future thut is before us. Saturday morning and evening were taken up with the remaining business to be disposed of, and the afternoon was spent in visiting the smelters at Greenwood and Boundary Falls. It gave assurance t,f better things to come to watch tbe matte pouring from the furnace of a Boundary Creek smelter, und the writer hopes that it will soon be unnecessary to travel so far to sei' one in operation. Business was rtiBhed through in the evening, and many subjects, notably that of the administration of the Lands and Works department, were passed over without any useful discussion. The time allowed was entirely too short, and the greater portion of it was taken taken up by the dry bones of procedure. The one disagreeable feature in the evening's session, was the attempt by the Rossland delegates���evidently in revenge for their turndown on the railway question���to take away the right of representation on the Associated Boards from the small and weak Boards���such as Cascade���which are entitled to equal reprsentation with their larger fellows. The proposal was not supported, however, and the Cascade delegation refrained from venting the indignation which they felt. It was a poor kind of revenge for the Rossland delegates to seek, but they evidently overlooked the fact that the proposed railway from Northport would make Cascade an important frontier point, and would concern us infinitely more than them. The fact that other rural boards thought alike with us did not improve their temper, and apparently they thought it best to drive us out, and leave the Associated Boards in the form of a "hive" of boards from the incorporated cities. There could be no mistake about the allusions made to villages, and to the convention being packed. To conclude, the amount of important business transacted at the convention, outside of the railway question, was disappointing, and the matters brought up could for the most part have been considered just as effectually at home by the local boards. The scope of the Associated Boards should include only matters common to the whole interior, and strictly local matters ought not to waste the very limited time allowed for discussion. If the Board of Trade at Victoria, could only be induced to drop its absurdly arrogant title of the "B. C. Board of Trade", it would be well to form a Provincial Board of Trade, to which could be referred matters of provincial interest, amendments of the statutes, and in which the Associated Boards of Trade of the interior could meet their brethren of the coast on common ground without losing their identities. Small pox seems to have worked its way into the province despite the careful provision made by the government to head it off. Moyie, Cranbrook, Fernie, Fort Steele and other places are infected with it- At this writing the Boundary country has escaped, there being no cases reported as yet. The march of the "free hand" brigade through the halls of parliament, froiri present appearances, at least, will not be so triumphant as a year ago. The Yale-Columbia Lumber Co., LIMITED.

At a Liberal meeting held in "Vancouver a resolution was unanimously passed asking the Dominion government to subsidize the building of the Coast-Kootenay line by the V. V. & E. railroad company, independent of the C. P. R, at this Beosion of parliament, so that no time will be lost in construction. On behalf of McKenzie <fc Mann and the V. P. & E., Norman McLean promised that if the Dominion and Provincial subsidies were arranged, 100 miles of line would be built hefore the end -of the year. It is stated that, if the results of legislative action are favorable, and the building of the Coast-Kootenay actually begins under the plans of McKenzie & Mann, the C. P. R. will spring into the field and continue its contemplated line from Midway to the coast with an alacrity never before witnessed in railway construction work on this continent. During the discussion of the speech from the throne, at Victoria, the other duy, Attorney-General Eberts stated that the Coast-Kootenay railroad would he given a cash subsidy and the contract would be made with persons or the company -soon. The road is to come to the coast. The government would fix freight rates and percentage of gross receipts to go to (he province. E. C. Smith, presented a petition irom George A. Cox, and others, for permission to build the railroad 'known as the British Columbia Southern from the Crow's Nest coal fields to. the international boundary. ALL THE YEAR ROUND Popularity Gauged By No Particular Season. The fact is now established that the most successful railway route, whether you take it in the Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, is the Rio Grand Western Railway, the only transcontinental line passing through Salt Lake City, that quaint and picturesque city on the shores of America's Dead Sea. The climate of Utah and Colorado is temperate the year round, which makes the travel over the Rio Grand Western Railway in connection with either the Denver & Rio Grand or Colorado Midland railroads an unbounded success and -delight.
