Third Annual Meeting a Most Successful One-Important Resolutions Passed.���Declare for an Open Door Policy for Railways.���New County Boundaries.���The President's Address. JLR Sperry Company, ��!& ���~M-S The third annual convention of the associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia, opened at Greenwood on Friday-morning-, 1st inst. It had been intended . to commence the business on Thursday but owing* to the train having been delayed on the Columbia and Westeriv Railway in the snoun-kins east of Cascade . by snow-' slides for about eight hours, the majority of the delegates did not arrive-, in Greenwood until nearly midnight, so that it was out^ of the^question to rheet that night. Next morning the delegates were in1 attendance at 10 o'clock at" the city hall, courteously -placed at their disposal by the city council. In "the unavoidable absence in.California of the president of the associated boards, Mr. J. .Roderick Robertson, of Nelson, Mr. C. Scott Gallo\yay, president of 'the Greenwood: board of trade, was voted to the chair. . After he had welcomed the visiting delegates, the following were appointedjja committee on credentials: Messrs. Ross, 'Greenwood, Bentley, Fernie, "Holt, Netoon Goodeve, Rossland and Goodenough, Kaslo. This committee later reported the following as entitled. to*.:seats as delegates: Columbia, Jno. Sperice, W. H. P. Clement, J. B. McArthur; Cranbrook, Jas. RyanyH. Haines, A. -.eitch; Nelson, G. V. Holt, T. G-. Proctor, Captain Duncan; Kaslo, G.0.' Buchanan,'G. A7Carlson, A. W.

Several of these gentlemen were represented by proxy. The report was adopted .and Messrs. A. C: Flumerfelt, Victoria board of. trade, John Boyd, Vancouver board of trade, J. F. Bledsoe, citizens association of Vancouver, and Jeff Davis," president Grand Forks boar.1 of tra.de, who were; also present, were invited to take part in the deliberations without the right to vote. Press representatives and others interested were also invited to be present. .'.:'."��� The following- were elected the committee on resolutions: Messrs. Buchanan, ' Kaslo; Oliver, Rossland; Procter, Nelson; Farrell, Moyie; Ker, Phoenix; Deane, Kamloops; McArthur, Columbia; Haines, Cranbrook; Topping, Trail and Henderson, Fernie. A letter of apology and regret at his absence from the president was read, also a telegram wishing- the association a successful meeting. An apology for unavoidable absence was also received from Mr. J. S. C. Fraser, Rossland.*, The secretary then read the report of the retiring president as follows: dence which we trust will be strengthened and assisted by wise and generous legislation looking to a prolonged period of prosperity and good feeling. The depression and uncertainty of the past two years have left iu their wake consequences which it will take some time to counteract. It is to be hoped that good judgment and common sense will aid in obliberating any harsh feeling or bitter animosities which may have been engendered through recent labor differences in the mining district. Such conventions as this doubtless have'it in their power to aid-in such restoration of mutual good feeling between employer and employees.-and it might possibly assist in obviating- the future difficulties from these directions were this convention to appoint a committee of arbitra- trators whose duty it shonld be to oifer their good services in endeavoring to avert disagreements in the future shouldsuch unfortunately arise. Were this convention to empower the executive to nominate such sub-committee, representing as it would the combined weight and1 influence of the associated boards of Kooteuay, it might prove of the greatest good to the entire community. NECESSITY OF MORE SMELTERS. Recent events have shown that the present capacity of the local smelters is altogether inadequate to treat the silver lead ore product of the Kootenay. The withdrawal of the American smelters from the market for British Columbia ores has demonstrated that the present smelters in Canada can only treat a very small proportion of the present, output, probably less than one quarter. The American smelters claim that they are practically driven out of the field by excessive railroad rates. Now that a permanent fuel supply appears to be assured the Kootenays it is hoped that this will result in the erection of further smelters in Kootenay, and as this is an important local industry it would be within the province, we think, of this convention, to urge upon the Dominion and Provincial governments to bonus and provide assistance in the construction of such smelter plants. MINING LAWS AND TAXATION. The mining industry in Kootenay has met with such serious setbacks during the last ten years, first, from the heavy depreciation in the values of its products, due to the heavy fall in the price of silver, etc., subsequently owing to altogether unexpected alterations in its legal hours of labor and regulations respecting the introduction of miners and others from other parts of Canada, etc., arid more particularly within the last few weeks on account of the, in many instances, heavy increase in the cost of smelting, that we trust we shall escape any further dramatic alterations in our mining- laws and taxation. We feel convinced that when the Provincial Mining Commission promised meets the evidence laid before it will conclusively demonstrate the increased cost of operations since the introduction of recent mining legislation aud taxation, and we trust that no attempt will be made to further increase the taxes or place any restriction at present on the export of British Columbia ores. Our smelters are confessedly unable to grapple with the product and an export duty imposed at this juncture of affairs would not assist the present local trouble, but would undoubtedly work a great hardship on shipping* mines, probably in many instances necessitating their closing down and so paralyzing the mining industry of Kootenay. It will be time enough when the Provincial and Dominion government by wise and just assistance encourage the erection of local plants sufficient to treat all local ores it will then be ample time/if it ia t hen advisable, to put on an export duty. RAILWAYS IN PROSPECT. We have to congratulate the board upon the prospects of still further extensive railroad construction in our district. The great Canadian and transcontinental line is constructing bridge connections across the Columbia river at Robson, which will greatly assist the interchange of traffic and business, between the different centers in Kootenay. It appears to be definitely settled that a railroad will be constructed this year in the Lardeau district, and it seems not improbable that within eighteen months or two years there will be a further railroad connection between the Boundary district and the coast by way of the Similkameen. v Various matters will be submitted to yoii for your consideration and deliberation,and.in concluding-1 can only express my-most sincere regret that I am unable to be present to take part with you, but I look forward with pleasure to receiving the annual report of the Third "Convention of the Associated Boards of Trade. . I think it would be well to continue the practise of nominating a committee to personally lay before the members of the Government the various matters dealt with by you at these annual Conventions. Yours very truly, J. RODERICK ROBERTSON. * RETIRING PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS, By direction of the chairman the secretary then read the following address of the retiring president, Mr. J. Roderick Robertson of Nelson. - ..'���-. 7 February'13, 1901. * To the members and delegates of the Associated Boards of Trade of East- ���in British Columbia, in convention iat Greenwood, B. C, 28th of February, i901���Gentlemen: ; The constitution ofour Associated Boards under Section 5 provides thata convention shall be held annually on Thursday of the week ollowiug that in which the Legislature of Biiti.sh Columbia meets in annual session.... It ha's been the custom of .he'.retiring President on the occasion of the annual conventions to present an address to the members, and in following .nis precedent I would take the opportunity first of again .thanking the member":- for having elected me to the high and responsible position which it has oeeii my privilege to hold"since August "last. The manner in which the delegates conferred upon ine this honor was especially gi atifying under the circum- tance-;, arid I can orily reiterate what I then stated that they had conferred upon ine an altogether undeserved expression of their kindness and good will. ' MEETING OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. . Since the general convention in August last a meeting of the executive committee was held at Nelson on the 12th December, a copy of the minutes of which had been duly forwarded you by our Secretary, Mr. Jackson. At that ��� neetiug it was resolved to approve of theappoiutment by the Hon. Minister of the In teriorof a special commission _to inquire into the relations of. the public policy of the -Dominion to the mining industry, including the mining, transportation, smelting, refining and marketing of the ores and their products. A resolution was also pas-ed expressing the opinion that the Board of Trade -should take all necessary steps towards laying before such commission, if appointed, facts and arguments relating thereto; it was also suggested that the association should*-have the privilege of nominating gen tli men qualified to act as suc'h commissioners, the names being submitted being those of Mr. G. O. Buchanan of Kaslo, Mr. Duncan Ross of Greenwood, aud R. F. Tolmie of Nelson. Copies of these resolutions were duly forwarded to tke proper quarters. The thauks of the convention are due to Messrs. Daly and Jackson, who were appointed a special commitiee to draft and forward these resolutions. Correspondence from the Greenwood aud Vancouver boards of trade relative to admitting the Coast.boards into this association et cetra, were referred to this convention, and will doubtless receive your consideration. .. Other matters which were brought before the executive vyeie also referred to the annual meeting, and will also be laid before you. ��� ��� The various matters dealt with at the general convention held at Nelson on August 2nd and 3rd of last year were duly laid before the Provincial and Dominion governments and the various departmental officers concerned. PROVIXCIAI, GOVERNMENT BULLETINS. The members of the government have on several occasions both at Victoria and Kootenay, expressed tlieir willingness to heartily co-operate in the publication of periodical and official government reports as to the output of the mines. Inquiry amongst many of the larger mining companies elicited the fact that.it: was, considered that a monthly bulletin would entail considerable extra clerical work, and owing to the fact that in the spring and fall shipping is often entirely suspended on account of impassible roads, such monthly reports would not be so valuable for comparison as quarterly reports. It was also felt that an itemized statement showing the output of. each mine might not in all instances meet with the approval of the boards of directors, and that an incomplete list would be worse than none at all. Our own view is that a quarterly official statement giving the gross value of the output of precious metals; lead and copper, etc., together with their tonnage, might be very beneficial to the Province, and that these figures could be collated from the sworn quarterly tax returns furnished by all the shipping miners. In view, how ever, of the possible objection to each mine'soutput being stated in de.ail, per haps it would be well to give these figures in grand totals." DELEGATION TO VICTORIA. Shortly after the date of the last convention and during the sitting of the legislature last fall, the committee appointed by you to wait upon the government to lay the resolutions of the convention personally before the government proceeded to Victoria and were accorded an appointment. The various members of the committee received a very favorable reception at the hands of the members of the government, who evidently took a keen interest iu the various matters laid before them, and undertook to give them most thorough and careful investigation. As is well known the last session of the local legislature was held, however, practically for the sole purpose of voting the necessary estimate and only passing measures-required for their purposes. Writing- this address before the publication of the government's intentions as regards the business of the approaching session we are necessarily unable to refer thereto, but as the executives frequently conceal more than they disclose in such speeches from the throne, it perhaps will be well for the convention to make its own representations independently of such information; IMPROVED BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The past few months have disclosed a notable" improvement in the general condition of the mining industry in the Kootenays and the-renewed influx of capital which is already taking: place,lsl an evidence that the investor'ha5_ renewed his confidence in the present government of British ColU-_ibia,*'a confi- Several resolutions submitted by the Phoenix board of trade were re- ferred'to the committee on resolutions,' as also was a lot of correspondence. The report and financial statement of the secretary-treasurer was submitted. The latter showed that there was a debit balance at the beginning of the year of $10.75; receipts for the year were $223.75, expenditures, $213, leaving a debit balance at close of year of $10. These were adopted. It was resolved to telegraph the C. P. R. diyisional superintendent asking that a special train from Greenwood be provided, so that delegates who were delayed on their way in, might return to their homes without having to wait over until Monday. This.convenienccAvas^AOurtepusly^pror vided by the C. P. R. The election of officers for the ensuing year resulted in the unanimous election of Mr. C. Scott Galloway, of Greenwood, as president, and the similar re-election of Mr. H. W. C Jackson, as secretary-treasurer. Both gentlemen returned thanks. Mr. Geo. W. Rumberger, mayor of Phoenix, and president of the board of trade there, extended a cordial invitation to delegates to visit Phoenix, for whose accommodation conveyances would be provided. A vote of thanks was accorded Mr. Rumberger for this kindness, and the convention then adjourned for luncheon. On resuming, the report of the committee on resolutions was received and considered. Taking first a number of resolutions adopted at last year's convention, the following is a synopsis of a number of them, appearing in the printed report of that convention, that were re-affirmed. (1). That the provincial government designate the mineral region occupying the Kettle river basin as the "Boundary District" and so define and name it on the official maps of the province. (2). That no addition to a city be registered without the approval of the local municipal authorities and of an engineer appointed by the provincial government. (3). That the provincial government be requested to publish a map showing location of occupying land in outlying districts of the province. (4). That a department for the preservation of the forests of the province be organized and a rigid system of protection of forests be enforced. (5) That 20 per cent'of royalty paid by mines within municipalities on their ore output be apportioned for construction and maintenance of roads in such municipalities to those mines. (6). That an import duty on manufactured lead be increased to a parity with the duties on other manufactured goods and that other lead products be charged 20 per cent import duty. (7). That the. government borrow money for the construction of needed roads and bridges in mining districts, (8). That a general railway act, with no restriction as to building to the international boundary be passed. (9). That the C. P. R. be requested to^ give suitable district freight rates on provincial farm produce. (10). That the Companies Act be amended to admit of inexpensive transformation of joint stock companies from a non-assessable to. an assessable basis. (11). That the riven. b= opened for the running of logs to :"points of manufacture. (12). And that more promptness in the transaction of public business be required of all pro- vincial government officials. Concluded ou Fourth Page. ouvenir 0ard$: ��� OUVENIR of the B. C.

THURSDAY, MARCH 0, 1901. SUCCESSFUL MEETING. ���The annual meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade-was the most successful since the organization of the .association. Every board belonging to association was fully represented. The subjects considered was of great .importance and the discussions were .of much interest. The citizens of ..Greenwood also maintained their refutation for genuine hospitality and the visitors returned home fully im- -pressed with the importance of the ,city and magnificent future before it. -VERNON--WEST RORK RAITWAY The resolution passed by the Associated Boards of Trade in reference -jto the Vernon-West Fork railway should .receive the serious attention of ,i)je government. The railway will :not only be a benefit -to . the localities -.through which it runs but it is of .provincial importance since it furbishes a splendid opportunity to save the province $40^. annually. As is welt known to secure the fppstiuctio of the Shuswap & Okanogan raUvya^��� .a branch running from S?camous oil the main line of the C. P. R. to Okanogan lake, the government guaranteed the interest, on $25,000 per mile. Owing to the local nature of the road .the business secured was limited, and ^consequently the province has been paying* $40,000 guarantee of interest. The continuation of this railway to JSock creek will connect.the rich farming district of Okanagan with the promising mining sections of West Eork, and thus secure a large volume .of business and insuring the probability of relieving the province of the heavy burden now carried to maintain tne S. & O. road. __-^The_projected-railway^does iiot..-Con-^ flict with any of the mooted thiough railways. In the probable event oi* the Coast-Kootenay railway being*con- structed it cannot serve the districts through which ihe Vcrnon- Rock Creek road will traverse. In the general public interest as well as in the interests of the districts more directly affected the charter should be granted and inducements offered to secure the completion of the road.

R. goes into a fight there is manufactured a wealth of romance that throws the exploits of Rider Haggard's heroes into the shade. Versatility and ingenuity- are two of their strongest qualifications. Take the agitation against the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company for instance. At all times and in every quarter of the Dominion reports were circulated that the smelters of British Columbia were on the point of shutting down because they were unable to secure coke and coal from the Crow's Nest Pass company. The C. P. R. attempted to justify this report by using the Trail smelter owned by the railway company. Big orders went in from the smelter to the coal oompany in the attempt to cjowd the latter so that it could be telegraphed all over the country that the Trail smelter could not get its orders tilled. The coal company* was equal to the occasion and filled the orders so promptly that the smelter had no place to store the supply. Under the circumstances the management of the Trail smelter telegraphed Paul Johnson of the Greenwood smelter: "Have thirty cars of coke en route for which we- have no place! Will you take it?" Mr. Johnson replied: " Don't need coke but will take it off your hands." Here ���was a glorieus opportunity for the C. P. R. Next morning* under scare headlines a C. P.

The follo'ving- are resolutions passed during the afternoon session: "Whereas several applications haye been made to the dominion parliament and the provincial legislature for acts incorporating railway companies to build lines of railway in the province of Brilish Columbia, connecting with other railways' at the international boundary; and whereas interested parties are strenuously endeavoring to create the impression that such railways, if constructed, would be inimical to the mining and smelting interests of this province; and whereas, in furtherance of their designs, the opponents of competitive railways have proclaimed that those interested in mining and smelting in British Columbia are opposed to the granting of the said railway charters; therefore, be it resolved, that the associated boards ot eastern' British Columbia, representing every town ^n the metalliferou*- portion of eastern British ^Columbia, and every enterprise whose success depends upon the development of its mineral resources, emphatically declares for 'free trade in railways,' and believes that every bona fide raflway company desirous of building railways in the province should be allowed to do so; and be it further resolved that this association is strongly of the opinion that cheap freight rates are essential _in>uilding up the mining and smelting industries, and, in the "absence of government ownership of railways, these can be secured only by competition and the control of rates through a railway commission or other effective instrument; and be it further resolved that this association petitions the Dominion parliament and Provincial legislature to grant the charters applied for by the several companies " who ask for nothing beyond the privilege of constructing railways in this province; and be it further resolved, that copies of this resolution be printed and forwarded to the members of the Dominion and Provincial governments, the members of the House of Commons, Senate and Provincial legislature." An amendment to the foregoing resolution was submitted, and after a long and earnest debate, was lost by live votes for to thirty-one votes against the amendment, which was as follows: "That this association desires to place itself on record as Leing in favor of free and unrestricted railway construction, not only in southern British Columbia, but also throughout the whole province; but that in the matter of the granting of a charter, now being applied for, forthe construction of a railway from the international boundary to the Crow's Nest Pass coal district, this association would urge upon the dominion .government and House bf. Commons that, because of the prejudicial effects that the existence 1 of such a railroad might have upon the milling and smelting industries of British Columbia, before the said charter be granted, sufficient delay should take place to allow of a thorough and exhaustive investigation into the effects such a railway, ��� if built, might have upon the aforesaid industries." "That this association desires to support any movement tending to the early construction of a railway from a point on the Crow's Nest Pass rail- , near Sand creek, in east Koot enay, following the valleys of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers to a point at, or near, the town of Golden." "Whereas, an extension of the Shuswap & vOkanogau railway to Rock Creek or Midway would traverse an agricultural and mineral country of great promise, a country which will not be served by any other contemplated line of railway, and whereas an increased traffic would accrue from such extension to the Shuswap & Okanogan railway, such as is the opinion of this association would go far to relieve the province of British Columbia of the annual liability of $40,000 or thereabouts incurred, the provincial guarantee of interest, be it resolved that this association recommends to the favorable consideration of the government any proposal calculated to secure such extension, and expresses its opinion that any such scheme would be worthy of liberal aid from the Province." "That, in the opinion of this association, the immediate construction of what is known as the Coast-Kootenay railway is an urgent necessity, and it requests the governments of Canada and of British Columbia, and the parliament and legislature respectively, to aid its construction, and if any aid be granted, that all proper and specific precautions be taken to control the freig.it and passenger rates, having in view the ultimate ownership of the railways by the government." "That, in. the opinion of this association, nothing will tend more towards the development of the great mineral resources of Canada, or will be of greater benefit to the mining industry which is growing in importance from year to year, than the erection and establishment by the government of Canada of a portfolio or bureau of mines under the immediate charge and supervision of a minister of the crown, and this association would respectfully submit that this matter should receive the immediate and earnest attention of the government." (This resolution was prepared by a special committee and forwarded * to. Ottawa last December, and was now re-affirmed by this annual convention.) "That this association approves the proposal of the Honorable the Minister for the Interior for'the appointment of a special commission to enquire into the relations of the public policy of the dominion to the mining industry, including the mining, transportation, smelting, refining and marketing of the ores aud their products." "That in the event, of the proposed mining commission being appointed, it is the opinion of this association that the boards of trade throughout eastern British Columbia should take all"*nec- essary steps towards the presentation before such commission of facts and arguments relating to all matters which may be enquired into by such commission." "That, in the opinion of this association, the provincial government should make as good a representation as possible of the mineral and other resources of the province at the exhibition to be held in Toronto this year, but as to the Buffalo exhibition that no action be taken in view of the statement, publicly made by the minister of mines that funds are not available, and this association' expresses regret that the government has been unable to provide funds for this purpose."-- ���--_- =-_,^i____._.-_,v_,__-_^_-,--___-,---_. by called upon to prevent", by -all the powers at their command, such discrimination; and that the parliament of Canada and legislature of British _> \ Columbia are hereby requested to arm the governor in council and the lieutenant-governor in council with all necessary powers to give immediate effect to such action whenever it be found necessary." * "That the secretary be instructed to bring to the attention of the Honorable the Post-master General, the facilities afforded -for the transmission of mails between points oh Kootenay __,akeand points in eastern Canada and the eastern United States, by the connection now being made via Bonner's Ferry, Idaho, with the Great Northern railway, and that on behalf of this association, the Honorable the Postmaster General be requested to establish a service over the new route at the earliest possible moment; and that, further, a resident assistant inspector of post offices should be' appointed for Kootenay; aud that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the postmaster general and the chief inspector at Vancouver." "Resolved that, in view of the fact that commissions have been appointed by our government and the United States to settle the boundary line in the Mount Baker district, it is advisable that the operationsof such commission be extended to the eastern limits of this province." "That, in the opinion of this association, the time is inopportune for the amalgamation of the associated boards of trade of eastern British Columbia with the coast boards, and that when we have more direct and quicker communication with the coast cities the matter may be ripe for consideration." The convention re-assembled on Saturday morning at ten o'clock. There was again a good attendance, with President Galloway in the chair. One of the resolutions 'adopted the previous day was rescinded, so as to allow of its being differently worded. In its altered form it was made to read as 'follows: "Whereas, owing to the well known salubrity of the climate, largeinumbers of consumptive-persons res*6rt'to British Columbia, and whereas the dry belt of the province is peculiarly suitable for the treatment of consumption; resolved, that this association requests the governments of Canada and British Columbia to erect, or aid in the erection of suitable buildings forthe treatment of consumptive patients, and to take such other measures as may seem desirable." 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 siich judge should be given to the Boundary district; and whereas it is necessary, in order to accomplish such purpose, to divide the preseut counties of Yale and Kootenay into three counties; and whereas the logical mode of division is to group in one county points on the same line of railway; resolved, by this association, that the present counties of Kootenay and Yale-should be re-divided into three counties, as follows:" All the northern portions of said counties along the main line of the C. P. R. to ���-__-*-___��. -S-SSBa _ "Whereas, at the present time there are no lead refining works iu the Dominion of Canada, and the initial cost of establishing such a plant or plants is very great, it is the opinion of this association that the Dominion government should encourage the establishment of such works by a grant for a term of years of a bonus of $5 per ton on lead .of Canadian originj smelted and refined in Canada." "This association hereby declares that, whenever it shall appear that any of the companies producing coal and coke in British Columbia, are found discriminating against the smelters, refineries and other industries in British Columbia, thc dominion and provincial governments are here- b e "gr otrped." together "in too n e co ti n ty; - the southern portion of Kootenay to be a second county; and the southern portion ofYale to be a third county." Resolved, "that the 'Small' Debts Act' should be amended by introducing therein a provision giving the right to garnishee before judgment." Resolved, "whereas codfidence is being created and strengthened in the metalliferous mines and allied industries of this province, and capital is now seeking investment in the same, and whereas the frequent changes in the laws relating to mining cause uneasiness and uncertainty in the minds of investors and act most prejudicially against the investment of capital in the province; resolved that this associ ation do urge upon the provinical government and legislature that no material change should be'made in the laws relating to metalliferous mining a*nd al: lied industries and assessments of the same." Resolved, "that this association is clearly of the opinion that the provincial minister of mines should at once establish and actively "conduct a literary bureau in his department for the the spreading abroad, at stated and frequent intervals, through the press, of the world, information showing the vastness of the mineral resources of the province, their development, the output of the mines and its value, the erection of smelters and^ refineries and all other provisions for the reduction and treatment of ores, as a means of calling attention throughout the world to the same, so as to induce the larger investment of capital therein." Resolved, "that the provincial government be aske.l to insist upon immediate selection by the B. C. Southern Railway Co. and the C. & W. Railway Co., of the lands to which under their subsidy acts they are entitled in order that the reserves now covering an enormous extent of land in east and west Kootenay and Yale may be cancelled." < It was decided to extend, through the proper official chanuel a cordial invitation to the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to visit the mining districts of Kootenay and Yale upon their return from Australia via Canada to England. Resolved, "whereas this association has been informed that an advance in local freight rates to the extent of nearly 50 per cent has-been recently made between certain sections on the Crow's Nest Pass railway; and whereas the government has the power to regulate said freight rates on this line; therefore be it resolved.that this association respectfully requests the Honor-, able the Minister of Railways to give. this matter his serious consideration with, a^view to relieving the sections thus affected from the present excessive freight rates." 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 large i-rtid growing population; and whereas the present arrangements for the administration of justice throughout the whole interior of the provincejafe exceedingly defective and inadequate; and whereas- all the five supreme court judges reside at the coas*, this associa- requests the dv mi i tod and provincial governments to remedy these grievances 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 by the fact that there are no sittings of the supreme court in the Boundary district, this association requests the provincial government to have such sittings held without delay both for criminal and civil 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; resolved, by this association that the 'water'dauses consolidation act? gives every facility to bona fide applicants to obtain water for every legitimate purpose,aud that no special legislation - regarding water should be passed; and resolved, that strongly' ������V.: _i* ������ \tr ARMSTRONG, VROPR1ETOR erta Is The Best Hotel in The City.

Several amendments and additions to the constitution and bydaws were made. ' Among them was the raising of the amount of the annual contribution payable by each board belonging to the association from $15 to $25. The following were appointed a committee to proceed to Victoria to present to the provincial government the various resolutions of the association requiring its attention: Messrs. Procter, Ross, Lalonde, Deane, Henderson, Ker, Hannington, Buchanan, and Manly, with power to add to -heir number and appoint proxies. It was unanimously decided that the next annual convention oJLdelegates shall be held at Kaslo. Resolved, "whereas Mr. W. T. Oliver, of Rossland, is about to leave British Columbia to fill a high position in the bank of British' North America in eastern Canada, this association expresses its sense of the great services that he has rendered to the association, and hopes that he will have a prosperous career in his new field of usefulness." After a vote of thanks had been passed by the visitors to the Greenwood boa_*d of trade and citizens generally for the hospitable reception accorded them, and votes of thanks to the C" P. R. for reduced rates and a special train, to the coast organizations who sent delegates and to the press, the proceedings closed by singing the national anthem. ^'*\r'*t*J\rJ*t^ft��\t**\f^tVj*\*er^*\rt*\f+ DIFFERENT STYLES. /vvvvvAw^i/vv^*'WA��-'Wi oiinges* m G*m Gully $��o* ^444444444444444444444444^ ���iwou^-m.......
