I Important Matters Discussed- Question of Fuel Supply. -The The fifth annual convention of the Associated Boards of Trade of .Eastern British Columbia which met., at Fernie on Wednesday, March 18th, was a great success. There was a good at- . tendance and matters of public importance were seriously considered. The discussions were of'a high order,' ��� particularity *��on* the consideration of the silver-lead question and the Greenwood resolution on the question of fuel supply. In addition to President Geo. O. Buchanan of Kaslo, and H. W. C, Jackson the secretary-treasurer, the various boards were represented by the follovying : CrKKKNwoon���G. Scott Galloway, J. R. Brown and Duncan Ross. Phoenix���W. B. Wilcpx. '������'- Grand Fokks���A. C. Flumerfelt. Rossland���R, W. Grigor, A. B. McKenzie. Trai�����Noble Binns, D.JW. Moore. NBI.BON���R. H. Hedley, W. W.

Bentley and Thos R. Stockett. Kasi.0���Geo. O. Buchanan and John Keen. The convention was called at eight o'clock Wednesday evening in Princess Hall. The Fernie board looked after the smallest details in providing for the comfort and convenience of the delegates. The hall was nicely decorated, separate tables were arranged for the delegates from the various boards and messenger boys were there to answer any calls that might be made on them. '.*���., The committee on credent-'als re ported that delegates as given above were entitled to seats. A programme committee was then appointed as follows :, C. Scott Galloway, chairman. W. R. Ross, Fcr.iie, secretary; Dnncan Ross, Greenwood; R. W. Grigor, Rossland; Noble Binns, Trail, and J. A. Harvey, Fort Steele. This committee presented resolutions from the Kaslo board dealing with the preser vation of forest fires, the setting aside of 100,000 acres in East Kootnay as a public park, the establishment of an experimental orchard in the Rocky Mountain region and the preservation ���End propogation of fish in Kootenay waters. These resolutions did not provoke much discussion although there were some inquiries as to where 100,- 00C acres of unalienated lands could be found in East Kootenay. The convention then adjourned until 9:30 Thursday morning. At. the morning session the Associated Boards decided to take no further steps towards securing the formation of a provincial Board of Trade. A resolution endorsing the views of the silver-lead mines on the silver-lead question was introduced by Trail. A vote was about to be taken without discussion when J. R. Brcwn of Greenwood, asked for some .information. It would be folly to pass a bald resolution unless the movers were prepared to convince the people of the east that protection was a good thing. Duncan Ross also pointed out that the east had to be convinced and even some people in the west had to be convinced that any benefits to be derived from the double-barrelled protection asked for should accrue to the producer and not to the smelters. R. W. Grigor of Rossland who has made a special study of the subject spoke briefly in favor of the position of the silver-lead mines and Mr. Buchanan made what'was considered the best speech of the convention." The silver-lead question is a hobby \ with him and possibly no man in Canada is better posted on this rather intricate subject. He stated that an agreement had been signed by the smelters in which they waived the rights to all benefits that might arise from a revis ion of the tariff. Free trade might be all right or Protection all right but what he did object to was that the silver-lead industry should be the only one in Canada ' to which free trade principles were applied. The resolution then passed without opposition. Another resolution was passed asking the Dominion government to extend the time in which lead smelters could earn the hounty granted by the Dominion government. . A resolution was passed asking the Dominion government to appoint 'i commission to consist of three competent persons to visit New Zealand to investigate the operation of the act providing for the comoulsory/'iarbitra- tion of labor disputes and to rteport :the result of their investigations. *���> y ���*' . Another resolution asked that;rail- way and steam ship companies include Kootenay and Boundar^: points in their advertising literature*^ encouraging tourist travel and to malje transportation interchangeable over various linos. Nelson introduced a resolution asking for provincial legislation that would make it imperative for the provincial government* to investigate labor disputes arid promptly publish all the facts connected therewith. The Greenwood delegates "introduced an amendment asking for action -'"������*���'/'i,* part of the federal lnstean of *'��� > . - cial government a,nd, the. amendment carried. ��� ,' ; The Rossland resolution asking the Dominion government, to corifciniie ?-itd>a:ni-W--J^^ carried' unan i motialy. The Rossland resolution asking that the South East Kootenay reserves be open to coal and oil locations and one. from the Fernie board asking that these reserves be reserved for preemption and settlement only were passed. ���,���*���'* The Associated Boards endorsed resolutions from Fernie and Cranbrook asking for better court and other facilities. A resolution condemning provincial aid to transcontinential lines was passed as was also one from Fort Steele endorsing aid to local development roads. "Then the"Green wood resolution deal^ ing with the fuel supply and asking the Dominion government to open an'd develop its own coal measures was brought up. J. R. Brown led the discussion in a strong and logical speech in which he pointed out the importance of cheap fuel in the treatment of low grade ores but the greater importance attached to a full and reg ular supply of fuel. He strongly urged the passage of the motion as he believed it was the only practical solution of the difficulties which at present crippled the mining industry of South Eastern British Columbia. Mr. Brown pointed out that operation- by the government would not prevent strikes but there was something to be said in favor of government ownership. Every elector was a shareholder and had a right to demand the fullest investigation of any dispute. On the other-hand with private ownership such investigation could not be conducted without the permission of the company operating the mines. This was the strongest argument against compulsory arbitration. Private owners could refuse an investigation of their property and books. The residents of the mining districts would be particularly interested in the government mines and should any labor disturbance occur they would see that an investigation was promptly held. W. F. Gurd seconded the motion and C. Scott Galloway then dwelt upon the importance of a regular supply of fuel which the smelters were unable to secure at present. There was a precedent for the government operating its own coal measure since New Zealand had decided to operate all coal mines in that colony. James Johnston of Nelson said the resolution was a most unwise oqe since if the Dominion government decided to open up its own coal lands the agreement with the Crow's Nest, Pass Coal company would be cancelled and the price.of coal arid coke would immediately go up. The company should never have made such an agreement and would riot have made it had they known anything about the coal business. Coal oould not be produced for S2 a ton. The cost of production was higher at Ftrnie than^any where else in the world. He instanced the.fact that the company had invested $85;000 in 60 coke ��� ovens to supply the ,B. C. smelters and every one of. these ovens had fallen down in a short time. .This loss should have been charged up to the consumer-hut tinder the agreement witli the gHV.-ri. merit the company wi-ra unable to do so. The government could not operate.its coal measures without a loss , arid he as a tax payer objected to paying additional taxes in order that the. Bounndary smelters might have cheap fuel. Thos. R. Stockett, superintendent of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company said the company had' no objection to the adoption cf the resolution because if the government acted upon it the company irould be free to -charge what they pleased for coal and if the price of coal was raised the price of icoke would also go up because they were not going to convert "coal' into coke when they could get more money by selling coal. As a member of the board he was opposed to the* resolution as he considered it a most unwise one to pass. He explained that the reason the coke ovens fell down .was that they were apxious that ��� they were anxious to. buy supplies at home .arid had to sbrid to. England for brick. -.These *.*���"- :i ffected'by salt moisture in cros's- ��� ij_,-* uie ocean; ..Since, then they were using American������br.ick which worked* satisfactorily: He also stated that the Boundary smelters .had received!..so. ex ten siori, the compariy ylilMiSttly be in a-position to sttppljr'ittK) tb.hsofcoke pfer'day. ' '*.'"... *;:.-,���'-* *:���'.''.-.���y'-- -| * - J} 'A. Harvey of Fort Steele held that*the! goverrment could, opt Operate as -economically as ,a private^.corporation.' .That individuals 'had ' certain rights which were ; almost':iiiv-iri'e and' that the government had - no jright to enter into competition with any -bbdy.' Mr. Ross a��ked Mr. Haryey if he;really ���believed in the Divine right theory? Geo. O. Buchanan ridiculed the resolution. It "bore' all .the' earmarks of Socialism, populism and was like the cry of free'silver which was a panacea for all ills in the United States a short time ago. It was unfortunate that all those crazy ideas should slop over, into this country.. If the government were going into the coal business in B. C. they should also go into the same business in Nova Scotia, It was not the kind of proposition which should come before the Associated Boards of Trade, which was supposed to be comprised of sensible, business men. Duncan Ross first took up Mr. Johnston's arguments and stated that it might be possible for .the Dominion government to have coke ovens built that would not fall .'own. Mr. Johnson was not prepared to tax himself to help the mines and smelters of the Boundary. In Ihe morning he was enthusiastic about taxing himself by increased protection to .help out the silver-lead industry; to be consistent he should be equally.patriotic with regard to the copper-gold industry. Mr. RosSjwas not prepared to endorse Mr. Harvey's statement that the government could not operate coal mines and make as much profit as private companies, but even if it vvere true, it might possibly be a good thing for the country. Profits were sometimes made at ��� the expense of men who had some rights as well as the companies. With less greed for profits it might be' possible to remove the causes for the frightful loss of life and also the chief causes,,for the many labor disturbances. Mr. Stockett. had practically threatened the associated boards by stating that the passage of the resolution would mean increased price, of- coke. There were no terrors in that' threat uince the company were charging today just as much as the smelters could afford to pay and that was all company could get for its coke. By refusing to convert the coal into coke the company would be violating the law. The only market for the coal would be on the American side and the Crow's Nest Pass .'railway charter was secured on the .expressed provision that no coal or coke could be diverted until Canadian interests were first servid. Since attending the meetings of the Associated Boards of Trade he was siiriply lost in admiration at the very clever way in ��� which Mr. Buchanan could bolster up a very bad case, but, in the five years of the Associated Board's existence there was nothing quite so brilliant as the worthy president's exhibition that afternoon. Mr. Buchanan talked about the govern ment coal milling in Nova Scotia for getting that the government in its wisdom had/made legislative provision for the very contingency which was being discussed. In the act granting aid to trie Canadian Pacific railway it was expressly stated* that the 50,000 acres were. reserved for the purpose the Greenwood board.had in view. Mr. Buchanan must have been desperately driven for ari argument when he resurrected the free silver discussions of several years ago. It was not pleasant to, be called hard names but hi would; rather, be called a socialist, populist, free silverite or any old thing and at the same time do something to advance the' best interests of this country, than never do anything but oppose everything,;that would encourage.progress and development. Mr. Beer of Nelson also made a strong speech in favor of the resolution. Mr. Brown ridiculed the* arguments advanced against .the resolution. He was amused at Mr. Stockett's state- irient that the smelters had so much coke they could afford to sell to each other. They often sold to each othi i it was true but- it was-only because; the Crow's Nest company could not'supply them, arid .'they ;were. forced to sell or lend so that alllj the .smelters;=iriigh t be 'kept going. 'He made a strong; appeal : ttf>the! 'A^ss6'ciated' Boards to passj the resolution'- and thus ��� endorse the only practical means of .securing relief for the important industry that is at present at a standstill for the wan' of fuel.'"'' " i was then adjourned wheri those opposed had unearthed the by the Greenwood board last year to the effect that the Dominion government should lease its coal lands. The Greenwood delegates were charged with inconsistency in advocating an entirely different policy this .;year and the convention was urged to reaffirm last year's resolution. The Greenwooddelegates retorted that consistency was ari enemy' to progress and that in any, event nothing was done by the government; probably because last year's resolution-was wrong, something might now be done because this year's resolution was right. Mr. Brown pointed out how inconsistent some of them were, since they said coal could not be produced for $2.00 and now they are advocating a resolution limiting the price to $1.75. Mr. Harvey of Fort Steele and Mr. Binns of Trail then moved last year's resolution as an amendment to the one brought forward by Greenwooddelegates. The amendment carried by a vote of eleven to nine as follows : Ayes���Harvey, Grace, Kershaw, W. R. Ross, Bentley, Stock*:tt, Binns, Moore, McKenzie, Heiley, Johnstone. Noes���Galloway, Brown, Duncan Ross, Wilcox, Gurd. Hutchison, Beer. Grigor for himself and president. A resolution was passed urging the ���Dominion government to improve the mail service in the Kootenay and recommending daily mails on Crow's Nest, a mail clerk on the Columbia & Western and a resident post-office inspector. East year's resolution asking for maps of -unoccupied lands was reaffirmed. Rossland was unanimously selected as the next place of meeting and the .convention adjourned.

' (Continued op Last Page. It takes time for spring to break the grip of winter; it takes time for high grade prope' ties to get a town out of the rut. When spring does get a start snow and frost disappear with remarkable rapidity, and when the influence of high grade properties begins to be felt stagnation and dull times soon vanish. The simile may'not be nicely phrased but- it is drawn from actual facts with regard to spring and the high grade properties. We have both right here in Greenwood. The season is so far advanced that already the base ball enthusiasts have hada couple of match games and the high grada properties have reached a state of development that spells success. Greenwood reaps the full benefit of Let us get down to indication' of' dull houses ornamented sign.- /There Jiave been man)' of those signs displayed iu' Greenwood as well an in other mining towns, but they are rapidly" vanishing. Houses that have been vacant for 12 months or more are now tenanted. Who,is living there*?.brings, the answer So and So who. is working at the.Providence or at one of the other high grade properties that are being developed. The demand for houses particularly in the northern end ,of the town has been so great that all vacant places are. now filled and.men of means are arranging to erect comfortable cottages to be rented to the best tenants that can be*obtained anywhere. One of these new residences has been started on Kimberley Ave and others will follow. While it is gratifying to note the effect that the development" of high grade" properties'^^:is"having^lipbnTthe" prosperity of the*';city, still; it is slow compared with what it would,be were we living in Idaho or Nevada. Place the Pirouidence, the Elkhorn, the E. P. U. mines, the Gold Finch on' a desert in Nevada, and the rush there would far exceed the stampede towards Ton- apah. Place ore , such as that in Russell-Law-Caul field company's window on exhibition on Riverside ave., Spokane and it would draw a crowd of those who know gold when they see it and can appreciate the value of high grade ore. Tell the. American specul- at r that car load after car load of ore returned net values of over S100 to the ton; not a foot of those hills surrounding Greenwood would not be left free from the prospector's and expert's picks. But we take our good fortune quietly in Greenwood, possibly because we are used to that sort of thin ���, or is it because it is so new that we cannot appreciate its value '! The poor newspaper man who has no high grade mines of his own can get some satisfaction out of the new discovery and development. They furnish copy. A week does not pass without some new deal, some new lease or bond, some new strike. Last week Mr. Fowler, the father of high grade properties in Greenwood, secured the Defiance and will go to " work next week. This week Mr. Morrison and associates leased and bonded the Barbara and they will go to work irtime.li- Etely. Mr. McVicar of the E. P. Lr. mines returned this week from Nelson where a car of ore is being treated and from which big results are expected. The Greenwood people are slow but when they do start they travel somewhat rapidly. We predict that there there will yet be what would elsewhere be called a boom in high grade mines and that it is fast approaching.

THE SITUATION AT FERNIE. The general manager of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company is John H. Tonkin. He comes from Pennsly- vania and has no use for organized labor. Many of the miners working in the company's mines are ignorant foreigners, many of whom do not know what they are striking for and even if they did cannot he depended upon to remain true to 'hemselves or their union. A committee of the British Columbia \Tf,,!n- A ss/i-ii'inn '.���"(���nt t" FPT-l'fifor .i.jutit a settlement il ,****-..-.ili'ie. The committee is well balanced and its members did as much as any body of men could do to settle the strike. They took evidence under oath and endeavored to unravel a tangle that is in many respect unique and for which no parallel can be found in the history of labor disturbances. During the progress of the investigation it became apparent to officers of the Western Federation of Miner's that the unions at Fernie, Morrissey and Michel were horey combed with traitors. Paid agents of John H. Tonkin masqueraded as loyal union men. One of the leaders of the foreign element "was paid by the Crow's Nest ��ass Coal company, to go to Rossyln, Wash., and bring men over to replace the strikers receiving so much per head for the men brought over. Others came from Pennsylvania at the expense of the coal company. The business transacted at the secret meetings of the Miner's Unions became, the property of John H. Tonkin any time he so desired. As the investigation proceeded it also became apparent that John H. Tonkin was not anxious for a settlement. His main object was to crush the union and work the mines by nonunion labor. He plainly intimated this to theconi- inissisn. He stated that he would go so far and no further and that if the men did not go back to work on his terms that he csuld fill his mines with non-union men and that the government would be called upon to protect him. The surest way of getting government intervention in the interests of John H. Tonkin was by moulding public opinion against the men. The surest way of securing such an expre*sion of pnblic opinion was by some act of violence which could be charged up to the men. Curiously enough the act of violence was forthcoming just at the right time. and were started towards Michel. Next morning they were picked up by a special train sent out by John H. Tonkin. Exaggerated reports of this act of violence was sent to the coast papers. On the one hand was John H. Ton kin making a fight against organized labor; on the other hand was the Western Federation -of Miners determined that organized labor should triumph. Who would succeed ? The officers of the Western Federation of labor came to the conclusion that a successful fight could not be made for a district union within whose ranks were traitors and spies and the paid agents of John H. Tonkin. They decided that the union must be purged before they could hope to make a successful fight. Under the circumstances they decided to get the best terms possible from John H. Tonkin and advise the men to go back to work. They and the commission met Mr. Tonkin on Saturday last. They got his best offer. The officers of the Western Federation of Miner's stated that they �����������������! : ������*������ me��� to accept t.. - . ti They did so. But the vote was overwhelmingly against any settlement on those terms. The above describes the situation as seen by the writer who spent two days in Fernie. We do not think it does an injustice to either side. It is useless commenting on the situation. But surely at this late day there should be some legislation that would prevent a district like the Boundary being ruined through no fault of its own���a district where we have sensible mine managers and sensible men and where we never had any labor trouble. It is rather a striking commentary on our civilization and our advanced legislation when a Pennsylvania!!, thoroughly saturated with all the ideas that have wrought such havoc there and a lot of ignorant foreigners from the slums of Europe should successfully cripple the miuing industry without apparently any machinery to meet such a situation.

Nearly every Liberal in this province recognizes this fact except Joseph Martin. Neither can a certain faction of Vancouver Liberals furnish the rest of the province with a new leader. Ralph Smith deserves better treatment than is being accorded him by the Vancouver Liberals. He is too good a man to make his appearance as a leader under their very undistinguished patronage. The Vancouver Liber als have decided that Ralph Smith is the man and that a convention must be held to ratify their decision Every Liberal convention held has been exploited in the selfish interest of a certain faction of the Vancouver Liberals. The Liberals of the interior are weary of attending conventions for the sole purpose of witnessing the unedifying spectacle of coast Liberals washing their dirty linen. They are anxious to attend conventions for the purpose of promoting the interests of the province and of the party and not to engage in Bonds, Stationery and Office Supplies, Etc. idwinter Special Sales Continue in every department all during the month of February New Goods Arriving daily.

This week's meeting was an exception to the rule. President G u>. K. Naden presided. The market committee reported their interview with the council which was considered satisfactory. The same committee were .nithorizcd to prepare a circular letter for distribution amoiif-* the farmers, such letter to point out the ad vantages of a market aud asking- for their co-operation. Messrs. Bunting* and Dempsey, K. W, Bishop and Walter JS. Seg-sworlli were elected members of the board. Tha committee appointed to arrange for the yisic of the members of the American institute of mining* engineers, asked for further time to report. In this connection Mr. Jacobs read extracts from a letter from R. W. Brock of the geological department in which he referred to nn address delivered.by himself before the institute and the astonishment expressed that **he Boundary district should play such an important p-irt in ihe copper world. The advertising committee reported making* several suggestions one of which was that the secretary of the hoard should act as correspondent for outside newspapers. After considerable discussion Duncan Ross was added to the committee and they were given further time to report. J'. C. Haas of Spokane and formerly of Greenwood was present and he gave the board some valuable suggestions regarding advertising the high grade ores near Greenwood. Duncan Ross read a letter from F. C. Bailey of Spokane in which he offered to keep ad exhibit of Boundary ores and distribute literature regarding- the same free of charge. Mr. Bailey is interested in properties at the head of Providence creek. No definite action was taken in the matter.

Special meetings will be conducted at the Salvation Army Hall, March 31 and April ls^t, by Brigadier Hargrave of Spokane. Everyone is cordially invited to attend these meetings. Paul Johnson left on Saturday for Prince of Wales Island,. Alaska, to look over the ground preparatory to erecting a smelter there. On his way out ho arranged to superintend the erection of a smelter at Sandpoint, Idaho, for the Panhandle Smelter company. Geo. Findlay, road superintendent, having finished the work in protecting the North Fork bridge, returned to the city, this week and will proceed up the West Fork to assist in rushing the erection of the bridges. It it. likely that the wagon road will also be com pleted as quickly as possible. E. E. Chipman, Kaslo, Dr. West- wood and W. J. Cook, Grand Forks, were over on Thursday to attend the meeting of the Masonic lodge. * Mr. Chipman is Grand Master of the order and his visit was an official one. The local brethern suitably entertained the distinguished visitors. On Tuesday the 24th the first base ball game of the season was played at liotindav-y Falls between the- Greenwood nine and the smelter nine. The play was lively from start to finish and resulted in a score of 21 to 13 in favor of Greenwood. A return match will be played in the near future. At meetings of the Greenwood and Rambler Tennis clubs held last week it was resolved to amalgamate the two cliibs into one. A meeting has been called for'Monday night the 30th inst., at 8:15 p. ni., in the Board of Trade rooms to elect officers for the ensuing season and to discuss other matters of interest. l<ast year's members of the two clubs and intending new members are requested to attend. The committee appointed by the Board of Trade to look into the matter of establishing a market in Greenwood, interviewed the members of the city council at their regular meeting on monday evening. .The committee which is comprised of Julius Ehrlich chairman, Geo. R. Naden and W. M. L,aw said that they were anxious to secure the co-operation of the council in establishing a market here. Mr. Ehrlich pointed out the advantages of having a market here. It would benefit the town and also the farmers. It would centralize trade ir Greenwood. With a market establish"-! hotel men and boarding* house keepers from surrounding"camps "would "come here "to secure supplies. The scheme would not be made a success unless house to house peddling was discouraged and he understood that the license on peddlers could be increased sc that it would be more profitable to sell in the merket than peddle. After some discussion the council passed a resolution endorsing the project and offered the committee every reasonable encouragement towards the establishment of such a market. The street committee was authorized to carry out. certain improvements on Lonisa street, clean the crossing and do other needed work. After some routine work the council adjourned until Friday evening when several by-laws will be reconsidered.

Title | Boundary Creek Times |
Alternate Title | [The Greenwood Weekly Times] |
Publisher | Greenwood, B.C. : Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1903-03-27 |
Description | The Boundary Creek Times was published in Greenwood, in the Kootenay Boundary region of southern British Columbia, and ran from September 1896 to March 1911. The Times was published first by the Times Publishing Company (1896-99), and then by the Boundary Creek Printing and Publishing Company (1901-1911), and its longest-serving editor was Duncan Ross (1897-1907). In April 1911, the Times was absorbed by another Greenwood-based paper, the Ledge. The Times was revived in 1983, and it continues to be published out of a small building in downtown Greenwood to this day. |
