Thesecrelary reported upon business transacted during the interim since last meeting. The applications ol Alexander Law and T. A. Martin were received. The secretary made his annua1 report, reviewing the business of the year and enumerating the several movements with which the board was connected. These items comprised: The lerry purchase bylaw, the board of trade year book, the business directory, better transportation facilities, the opening up of Lillooet trail,better postal facilities, the wireless telegraphy depot, local Dominion Express office, all night telephone service, N. V. hospital, reduction of the electric light rates, establishment of a local land registry office, etc., etc. As prospective business, the secretary referred to the establishment of a lerry at First Narrows, and the matter of the protection of the public right-of- way to the waters of the Inlet, commenting 011 the placing of a barrier across tbe loot of Carrall street, by the C. P. R. President Geo. J. Phillipo, in inakiig his report, briefly reviewed the work ol the year, emphasizing certain phases ol the work. Ile stated that the membership at the beginning ol the year was 77, received during the year io,resigned during the year 9; present membership 78. He expressed pleasure at the large attendance, as it augured well for the future usefulness of the board. Ile expressed his thanks to the members lor their co-operation throughout the year. The chairmen ol the respective committees were then called upon for a report of the work done and brief replies were made. The president appointed as scrutineers, Messrs. J. G. Dick, Win Morden and A. A. Crowston, and as auditor in conjunction with Alexander Philip, G •«. H. Morden. The election ol officers for the ensuing year resulted at lollows : president, J. G.

The chairmen ol the respective committees lor the ensuing year, are as (ollows : commerce ind industry, Alexander Philip ; agriculture and mining,A. A.Crowston; transportation, Thomas T. Nye ; tourist and immigration, Win. Morden ; public improvements, A. E. Anders; publicity and infor- iiiadon, (jeo. J. Phillipo; finance, H. R. Heffell ; legislation, S. D. Schultz ; membership aud grievances, T. A. Martin ; reception ami entertainment,Geo. H. Morden. A cordial expression ol appreci- ation and vote of thanks was accorded the retiring president (or his efficient services, and also to the secretary. Under new business, Mayor Kflflll brought up the matter ol the bridge at the second narrows, and submitted that the time is opportune for a strongeffort to secure from the provincial government a substantial subsidy for the purpose of making the structure a traffic bridge as well as a railway bridge. Upon a previous occasion a deputation comprising representatives of Vancouver city council, North Vancouver city council and the district councils ol Burnaby,South Vancouvi r and North Vancouver, together with representatives of the Vancouver and the Nortli Vancouver boards of trade, had met a full cabinet and had urged the necessity of such a giant, but the government had been pleased to take no favorable action in Ihe matter. He would now suggest that a monster petition be prepared and forwarded to the government. The present election campaign afforded a splendid opportunity to procure a large number of signatures, as doubtless the political parties would take charge of the petition forms at their several committee rooms and canvass for signatures, thus ensuring a laige representation ol voters thioughtiiii Vancouver city, ind Richmond riding. That this petition be handed to the member for this constituency, that he may be able to realize what is the wish of his constituents in this important matter. The recent 1e1n.uk of President Hay of the G.T.P., that his line intends to come to Vancouver and that they are not losing sight of the valuable foreshore on the norlh side of the Inlet was significant, aud added another strong reason for lhe early settlement of all matters pertaining to the second narrows bridge. James P. Fell in supporting the remarks of Mayor Kealy, endorsed the suggestions made, and called attention to lhe (act that the situation in the case ol the second 11,11 rows bridge is different to that ol (he Fraser river bridge. The latter bridge was directly nnd-r provincial government control, but while the Dominion government had made a grant to the set nntl nar rows bridge, they dul not propose to exercise governmental control in any form. Again (he Dominion government had declined to grant a sulisitlv lor the Fraser river bridge, lor the reason that they had not the power to grant subsidies lor public highways, but only (or railway bridges. The grant lor a rai'way bridge is already made in the present instance, anil there is no reason why the provincial government shall not add to that a grant lor traffic leatures. A.l' Antlers was ol opinion that a deputation would prove no more effective than a petition. This had been found to be the case in England and lie thought it would obtain here. Mr. J. G. Dick ri viewed his recent trips to the head of Seymour creek and from the Lillooet trail across to the head of Howe Sound anil declared that the only altcrna* tive route (or a railway was 75 miles longer than that via Howe Sound, while the rock work and engineering difficulties weie just as gieat. Squamish is the logical route for the coming railway. He woulii like to see the Lillooet trail opened up to the head nl Seymour, even if thc expense had to lie borne locally, as there is a community ol several bun.Inti miners in there whose natural source ol supply is North Vancouver. W. J Irwin was in line with what had been sai.l with reference to the bridge. He also thought it might bc well to repeat thc request for the opening up of the Lillooet trail at the coming session of the legislature. S. D. Schultz moved, J. G. Dick seconded, and it was unanimously carried, that Mayor Kealy, James P. Fell and Thomas T. Nye be a committee, with power to add to their number, to prepare a petition as suggested and to devise the best means of securing signatures and of forwarding the same. Alexander Philip reviewed the progress of affairs to the present with respect to the Lillooet trail. While the government had replied thit there were uo ivailable funds for that purpose at present, yet the department had intimated its willingness to take the matter up again at 1 later date and had leasonablc hope that favorable action would result. The district council is pre- pired to do its share by extending the road to the boundary line ol the district whenever the government is ready to proceed with the trail. lt was moved by Mayor Kealy, seconded by Alexander Philip, and carried that 'he government be approached again at the coming session lor a grant for this purpose. The matter of improved postal facilities in the city was discussed bnt no action was taken. The meeting then adjourned. A Social Event Mrs.Colin F.Jackson was hostess at a delightful at home at her home on 15th street, on Tuesday. The house was very prettily adorned with flowers.

It has been reported to the city police that a party of young men, evidently the worse of liquor.made themselves particularly obnoxioul on the ferry boat on Saturday night last, by their unseemly conduct and profane language. Similar reports have been frequent ol late, and it is high time that some effective means were found for protecting the travelling public, both ladies and gentlemen, from such annoyance. Francis Caulfeild has completed plans for the sub division of the west half of D.L. 811. The plans represent a very artistic piece ol workmanship in sub-dividing.

The probability is that he will become the holder of considerable local realty during his stiy. The situation with respect to the present invasion of bears is becoming embarrassing. The man endowed with the normal quantity of credulity finds himself at the necessity of'crediting each particular bear with about a score of appearances, or else concluding that there is a whole battalion of bruins operating throughout the district. The latest advices from the front areas follows: Three bears were shot on Sunday in the district at thc north> em extremity of Lonsdale avenue. A party ol hunters north of Frommc's mill bagged a good sized bear and sold the carcass, pelt and all lor nine dollars. A good sized bear was recently encountered by pedestrians between Centre road and the Pipe Line road, Lynn Valley. Next ! Donald MacLcnnan, the well known contractor, who is at present engaged on the 3rd street im- jirtiieineiits, was called upon to sustain a very sad bereavement, in thc death of his wife, Margaret Mary, which occurred at thc (amily residence, 737 Hamilton street, Vancouver, on Friday last. Mrs. McLennan had not been in good health for some time, but had appeared to be somewhat improved ol late. Mr. McLennan left home for his work on Fridiy morning, leaving his wife in unusually good health and spirits, and about ten o'clock received a telephone mes- nge to thc effect that she had suffered a very severe attack. Death occurred before Mr McLennan could reach home. The funeral was held on Monday, from (he undertaking parlors ol Green ll Simpson, Rev. Dr Fnser officiating.

All goods purchased by local firms Irom outside points are billed to Vancouver, whence ihey must be traissh p,ied to this city. I'pon the arrival of the goods in Vancouver, they must remain ihere until the mails convey notification lo the consignee. Having received notification, the local merchant must absent himsell Irom his business, he must make a special trip to Vancouver, release the goods, procure a dray, lollow the goods lo the (erry landing antl havt them re-shipped to North Vancouver This procedure is vexatious in the extreme, lt involves delay, annoyance, extra cost ol thc goods laid down, and loss ol time. The ultimate result ol these conditions is, that our local merchants are practically denied access to the producer,in purchasing their goods and are perforce committed to middlemen lor llieir porchflflCfl. I'ntler normal conditio s. should a merchant in this cit' wish to purchase dor illustration 1 ■ consignment ol apples, be would ionium nicate with a Iruil grower at some interior point and thus purchase in the cheapest market, to the advantage ol his ciislomeis. Inder existing conditions, however, he finds himself so beset bv disabilities that it is more advantageous, all things considered, lor him to buy Irom the wholesale]- anal pay the higher price. Tlurc docs not appear to be any valid reason why the transcontinental railway and other transportation companies should decline to enter into an arrangema>nt with the North Vancouver Ferry and Power Co. Ltd , such as would permit residents ol the city ol North Vancouver lo have freight hilled through Irom all points on the continent or, lor that matter, on the globe. If this city win situated in a location lar removed Innn central points,a location diHn nit ol M 1 ess ind with no oiitsnli 1 mbi i tion but 1 stige line, or MOM • mil primitive nn ans ol transportation, then conditions such as those to which relerence is made might be sustained without clem nr. but, situated as this city is.on the very highway ol trinsaimrican and transpacific traffic ; sharing, as Ihis city does, the same magmfici nt harbor, with one ol the greatest commercial and shipping centres ol a continent ; possessed as this city is of transportation facilities whu h place her within filtcen minutes of that great centre, and which mctfflbkol handling with safety ami expedition the entire volume ol freight (or a city many tunes larger than North Vincouver — under IfcflM condi«, tions, thc ibsencc of through slop ping privileges S" ms little short o( the litter abrogation ol the most ordinary business sense, and a| standing reproach to the enterprise of her citizens, the etfect of which cannot but be to heavily discount the importance of this city in the estimation of the commercial world. The establishment ol through freight arrangements would not only relieve these conditions, which must be repugnant to every loyal citizen, but would open up possibilities of development which would mean much to this city, It is admitted that the volume ol through business would be small at first, but the very (act that these advantages were available would encourage ami create business, while the increase ol population with thc attendant growth of our mercantile establishments, would hasten the day when our merchants would bfl in position to buy direct from the producer or the manufacturer in carload lots.to the manifest advantage of all parties and to the city as such. The necessity for a local customs office would follow logically ami many additional advantages would accrue from this process of development. The incoming of a transcont nental railway, would solve this whole problem at once, it is true, but that niiich-tobe-dt'sired advent is yet in the future, whereas uiiiih can be accomplished meantime liy the immediate inception ol through freight facilities, and then, when the railway arrives, North Vancouver will hnd hersell in possession of competitive through freight sys- tims, the advantages ol which are manifest. The interests of this city will be best served by the prr curing of through shipping privileges at the earliest possible date. FOR 7/IF PUBLIC SAFETY Carelessness in the use ol firearms, upon lhe part of those who traverse the district ior hunting purposes, is becoming so manifest as to constitute a menace to the safety, if i.ot lo the life of the general public upon the common highway. It was subject of coin-' mint at the last meeting ol the district council, that iu several instances stray bullets have whistled by, in dangerous proximity, to the persons ol travellers on the roads throughout the municipality. From individual sunn 11 similar complaints are heard. This is 1 matter to which too early attention cannot be given. It should not be necessary to wait until a bullet lodges in the body of some pedestrian, in order to awaken the public mind to the realmss ol the danger. The district council has already put forth a commendable effort to saleguard the public in its bylaw to regulate the use of fire arms throughout the district, but it Is a debatable question whether the presence ol the law on the statute books is exerting any d terrent influence upon transgressors. Residents in the Fraser river delta were troubled with a similar menace, but it is uudei* stood that they ban sum tiled in eradicating the practice, by means ol individual property holders posting trespass notices upon their farms. Unfortunately, the prist im ol such large tracts ol wiltl lands as are lound in North Vancouver district, renders a like nnu ily unavailable. Nevertheless some sort of prohibitive legislation might have the effect of instilling becoming instincts of caution into the minds of huntsmen. Sunday appears to bt* the tlay on whit li this danger assumes its greatest proportions, for (he reason that there are much larger numbers strolling and driving upon the roads and trails throughout the district. The prohibition of hunting or ol carrying a loaded wuapon for the purjioses of hunting or shooting in the district on Sunday, might prove a measure' whose significance would not be niisundei- stootl ami whose (fleet would be to relieve the public from a very serious menace to life and limb. Mrs. J. II Pilling, 10th street, who has been visiting Iriends in Holland, for the put month, is expected to return home in about a week.

Moon* sang tin Const r vilive campugn song Mr. Cowin was received with tremendous and sustained applause. In his opening lemarks he expressed his appreciation of the presence of so many ladies. Proceeding he declared that North Vancouver is Canada in miniature as to the problems which press upon her. These problems involve questions uf local,provincial, national, and even international concern. Such conditions demand an honest citizenship.a courageous citizenship, and an intelligent citizenship Hurrard Inlet will make one of the finest harbors in the world, ln C-rdet to do this,the harbor must be nationalized. Not merely the Vancouver water frontage, but the entire Inlet,including Nurth Ann anil English bay must be made a national port. Mr. Horden is definitely committed tu (Ins plan, and has pioiniseil thai flVOTlblfl consideration will bfl given as soon as a practicable scheme can be di vised For commercial purposes the boundary between Vancouver and Norlh Vancouver should beaonibi- Ifltfld. Tin-re is but one way to do this, namely, by a suitable bridge ll second narrows. That bridge must be such as will not inti'ibn* with navigation. lt must be a railway bridge and open to all railways ; an electric tramway bridge and open to all companies ; a traffic bridge both vehicular and pedestrian. Engineers id viae that it will bfl possible to so construct a bridge at second narrows, that a second bridgt would bflCOBM a practical impossibility, because of the immense cost. How exceedingly important that this bridge when built shall bfl capable of accommodating the entire traffic lm many years to come. The nationalization of the haibor includes the widening of lirst narrows, dredging of False creek.con struction of dry-docks, a dredging plant, mat bine shops, and many other itt ms. The return ol Mr. Borden would soon see active steps taken for the improvement of the harbor, The harbor lines should belong not to any corporation, but to harbor comniissioneis, for the people, empowered to build and operate wharves, antl to administer affairs in the interests of the public. The prist nee of an alien Oriental race cannot assist us in working out these great problems. This must bfl done by those* ol Caucasian blood. It was a fatal day when oui doors wen- thrown open to the Asiatic influx, and the problem would project itsel/into sin i'. tl ing generations. The history ol tins Asiatic immigration was as lollows: In tStj5 the Conservative government refused to become party to the Anglo-Japanese treatv unless empowered to deal with Japanese immigration as Canada might desire. In l8y6 the Liberal party took oflice. In October the Japanese agreed toconcedeCanada control of Japanese immigration Sir Wilfred Laurier declined to avail himsell of those powers and the Japanese began io pour in, in thousands. Repeated representations were made to the government bul to no avail. In 1903 the consul general of Japan in Vancouver, advised Laurier ol his readiness to concede the right ol the government to control this influx, but about this time the G.T. P. railway scheme was devised as an election t ry. on th* strength of which the Liberals were returned to power. In 1005 thfl government cabled London asking lo be made a party to the Japanese treaty. The colonial secretary cabled back "What about Japanese laborers antl iirti zans; do you want to keep them out?" September, 1905, the got einur-gencral cabled Iglifl thai Laurier was pressing that Canada be made parti t 1 lhe treaty. Col- onial-st 1 it tin 1 ablcdagam "What about my cable ol July 14th?" On September 25th the government n plied, finally ralinqniahing th right to contiol Japanese immigration. That was a black day lor Canada. The treaty was ratlin tl in January, 1907. ami by October 1st, Hi25 Japanese hail arrived ia Canada The Lemieux mission hat! dont nothing but to show that tin* control of ilns vital matter had been handed over to Tokio. The position of Mr. Horden is lhat if there is really a modus vivendi and the slightest breach has occurred tin rein, that will oblige bis party to abrogate the treaty antl to pass a law that will protect tin- citizens of Canada, lit* was luthorisfld to state this.

GINTZBURGER provinces, bt't there are heavy duties on every thing that B. C. must buy. British Columbia contains 3 per cent of the population of the dominion, but she sustains i* per cent of thc costol confederation. She should therefore have y per cent of the hem-tits whereas she gels but one per cent, ln 1903 the interprovincial trade amoiintci! to $315,000,000,'dl which B.C. got J3,ooo,ooo;now that trade reaches $400,000,000, of which B.C. still gets about one per cent. The fact that the cost ol loca administration, is higher iu B.C. than in the other provinces, constitutes a distinct money claim against the dominion, lie hat investigated this ami conti'inle. that B.C. isenlitledtotbree b'lirtlis ol a million dollars annually in per petuity. The conference of the premiers bad admitted the claim and the Laurier government bail sought to dispose of it at 1100,000 per year for ten years. Mr Borden declares "1 will right the wrongs of B.C. IIyou have this claim will pay it." He had been upbraided on the floor ol the house by Hon. I'isherand Laurier for this statement. Referring tothecorruption which is rift- in tliegnvrrnment Mr. Cowan declared that one of ils worst 1 tints is that it familiarizes the yoiinj mind with crime in high places.
