Roderick Robertson, whose\nesideutiul address was at tlm\nmeeting read to us, Mr. J. F. Mc-\nArlhur, a man of commanding presence nml great ability, Mr. T. C.\nThompson whose unfailing good nature, and keen wit won the hearts\nof even those most strenuously opposed lo him in dehate, have all\npassed away from life. Many of the\nothers have removed from our territory toother fields of labor. We\nwelcome those with us who are new\nto the work of our association, and\ninvite them to take their full share\nof the privileges and duties of our\nmeeting.\nWe have to record that If-Oft has\nbeen another good year. The staple\nindustries ot Southern Yale and\nSouthern Kootenay, mining, smelting\nand lumbering have come through\nma ny vicissi tudes; there has been\nmuch of disappointment, waste and\nloss. But we can now feel that the\ncountry has lived through its most\nIrving'times, that our mines, smellers and mills, are now generally\nspeaking, paying their way, that we\nnre no longer entirely dependant\nupon the constant arrival of fresh\ncapital from abroad for our survival, that we are able to maintain\nunaided not only our present scale\nof production, hut tbat we are creating wealth, with which to extend our\noperations.\nA good criterion of llie prosperity\nof a country is the condition of the\nlaboring man. From this standpoint our territory compares favor-\nilily with any other country. Wages\nne probably higher here than in auy\nithcr part, of Canada, the Yukon ex-\n-cptcd. In the Hossland camp the\nscale of wages for muckers was increased voluntarily by tbe managers\nml at some nf the other mines and\nsmelters, concessions as regards\nwages or hours were made as the result of negotiations. In lumber\ncamps aud sawmills, there lias been\ncontinual scarcity of labor, and the\nfruit growing Industry is almost at a\nstandstill, and is likely so to remain\nuntil the advent nf a class of labor.\nnot at present to be found iu the\ncountry.\nThe cessation of work at the coal\nmines in the Crows Nest Pass for\ntwo months, just ou the eve of what\nhas been a very severe winter, was\ndeplorable, inflicting great loss upon\nthe miners, upon the commercial men\nin adjacent towns, and upon tin* Indus-tries and communities dependent\nupon this source fnr fuel.\nI presume that the figures of mineral production, which I have the\nhonor io present to you iu the supplement to this report, are less by\nfrom one to two million dollars than\nihcy would have been except [or (his\napparently wholly unnecessary nnd\nfruitless strike.\n\n incident of the year bas been the\narrival in Uie province of some UOliu\nSihks from India.

A not-\niblo illustration is the purchase hy\nthe governor general of Canada, Earl\nGrev, of a tract of orcharding land\non Kootenay lake, which is to be\nimmediately planted with trees. Similarly throughout our territory, a\ngreat deal of land has been sold during the year to other persons who\ncame as tourists and the district has\ngained from the east and from the old\ncountry many valuable settlers. The\nacreage in fruit aud berries was probably increased by -10 per cent during\nthe year, hut tlie season was not\nparticularly favorable fnr production,\nespecially as regards berries, and it is\ndoubtful'if the figures for the value\nof ihe product can he much increased\nover Inst year.\nWe all note with satisfaction the\nestablishment of n tree nursery in\nthe Keltic River valley. We will he\nfortunate when the limp comes that\nthe whole of our demand for trees\nand shrubbery can be supplied ut\nhome, and Mie introduction of the\nI older fruit countries avotd-\npests\nI'd.\nThe\ncut Im\nin per\nill! Inns\nindications are that Ihe lumber\ns exceeded that of last year by\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0en! and the marketing con-\nhave been favorable. The\nenst of mill work Increases yearly,\nconsequent upon the steady rise in\nwages, and ihe cost of logs Increases\nfor this reason and foi the further\nreason that annually Ihe togs are\ngetting further from the mills. For\nthis reason there is no prospect Unit\nthe present eompataiivelv high prices\nof lumber Will ever he reduced.\nI nolo thai in 1900, Ihe year before\nour former meeting in Greenwood.\nthe Boundary produced 97,000 tons of\nore. For the seven years, to the\nend nf 1000, it produced l.'.no. I\nIons of ore For IROll alone the\nproduction was 1,300,000 tons, the\ncontents of wlllcn was approximately:!\nGold, Hl.oiili o/s.. silver, 087,000 owt,\nand copper, 32,100,000 pounds. In\ntbe meantime your three smelters\nhave grown'to an aggregate capacity\nof (Willi tons ii day and it is expected that your ore tonnage during the\npresent year will he 1,500,000 Ions.\nFrom 'published reports it appears\nthnl ihe Granny Consolidated has\npaid during the year in dividends\n$1,703,000, being 12 per cent upon\niis stock. The Crows Nest Pass\nCoal company has also paid in dividends 10 per cent within the year;\nthe Canadian Consolidated Mining\nand Smelting company 10 per cent;\nlhc Le Roi $175,1100, and the Le Roi\nXo. 2, $240,000. With the present\nhigh scale of prices for copper, priees\nwhich the best authorities agree, are\nnot liti-ly in the near future to fall,\nthere is' the prospect of phenomenal\ndevelopment in the Boundary and in\nthe great mineral belt lying to the\nwest.\nThere is again throughout our territory, as a conscience ot the era of\nactivity upon which we have entered,\na demand lor government expenditure\nMarch 15.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The Boards\nof Trade finished their session at\nGreenwood iliis morning at noon,\nadjourning to meet next year nt\nMovie. There were several important resolutions passed at the sitting\nof last night and this morning, including a drastic resolution against\nthe enforcement id the Lord's Day\nAct in this province and Riving wid;\nscope to the executive of the Associated Boards to seek relief;\nanother asking foi an cn^irv into the\ncause of the coal shortage of Hn-\nlate winter, aud yet another taking\nup the whole subject of trails and\nroads, recommending a definite programme to the provincial executive\nfor adoption. The resolution on the\nLord's Day Acl consumed not only\nIhe whole of lasl night's silling but\nalso a considerable portion of ibis\nmorning's work, and was the occasion of a hard fight and at oue time\nseemed to threaten the loss of Presl-\nlent Riichniinn; only the good sense\nitf ihe assembled convention found a\nmiddle way for an apparently impossible impasse, threatening a serious toss to the Assoeili'ted Boards on\nne band aud on the other the stultification of Itself.\nThe lirst matter taken up at the\nThursday afternoon session was a\nresolut inn emu na I ing from Trail,\nmoved by J, B, Anderson nml seconded by G.\" Weir, asking for an increase\nof the duly on pig lend io one cent\nper pound uud that all manufactured\nleads he Increased proportionately.\nThis was practically the sa me resolution as was passed last year and\nwas therefore passed without discussion,\nA resolution was then passed asking the various Boards of Trade to\nbring up nl the next convention of\nthe boards proposals for an extensive\nexhibit at the Alaska Yukon exhibition at Seattle and asking for an\nappropria t ion from the provincial\ngovernment for such purpose. This\nwas moved hy A. W. Dyer and seconded by F. \"W. Guernsey and after\nMr. Buchanan had spoken iu its favor\nit was unanimously passed.\nA similar resolution was passed in\nfavor of an exhibit at the Franc\nBritish exposition to hi' held next\nyear in London, England. This was\nmoved by J. W. Cncl-ilc and seconded\nby ii. Campbell\nA resolution asking for a better\nImperial news service and aid from\nthe Dominion government to establish tbe same in London was moved\nbv Mr, Dyer and seconded by II. R\nliiitley and carried after a short\nstatement as to tbe reasons why such\nn step was necessary.\nThe next mallei coming up was\nthat of public telephones and the foi\nlowing resolution was placed before\nthe meeting:\n\"That in the opinion of the Nelson\nboard of trade it is in the interests\nof the people of the province of British Columbia that Ihe government\nshould enact legislation providing foi\nthe construction, acquisition, ex\npropriation, maintenance and opera\ntion of ,i public telephone system oi\nsystems throughout the province si\nas to insure reasonable charges for\nthe use of telephones and ibe more\nrapiil extension of such telephone service throughout the province or in\nsuch districts as may he deemed advisable.\"\nThis was moved by F.

Mr.\nStarkey in speaking to ihe resolution\nsaid he favored the proposal on the\nground of cheapness as well as upon\noilier grounds, Telephones were\ncosting in Nelson J IS a year, whereas,\njti Ihe provinces of the middle west\nwhere the matter was alre.utv one of\npublic agitation, the price was figured down to $12,\nG, t).

Men would not lie around a\nbunkhouse idle all day Sunday and\nwould simply get another jolt. The\nAct was not workable in this country\nund would work a great hardship.\nMr. Buchanan did nol think the\nprovincial authorities had any option\nin enforcing the act. As for Mr.\nCampbell's contentions, (hey had all\nbeen considered by tbe passers of the\nAct. Tbe objectors had better make\nup their minds that the Act was a\ntjood one and would work lor the\ngeneral good. As to the men in outlying camps they euuld read or walk\niir insist on having hotter facilities\nprovided. if an exemption were\nmade for camps oul side of a three\nmile radius of a town this would not\nsuit the views of the chief employers\nof labor, who would not come under\nsuch an exemption These employers\nwere nol moved by a consideration\nfor their men. Mr. Buchanan\nthought the conslitution.il wav lot\nthe movers ol the Act, was to appeal to the Dominion parliament for\nHit amendment.\nMr. Dyer spoke shortly, showing\nthe absurdity ol the nol as applied\nto newspapers and declared that if\nthe province had not authority in the.\nmatter it should take steps to see\nthat it did have. He was in favor\nof clause 4 of the Act, with tin-\nproper exemptions, but pointed out\nthat sub-section 2 of the clause entirely nullified the good aimed at\nthe previous section.\nRev. H. S. Hastings, Greenwood's\nMethodist minister and local sccre\ntary ot the Lord's Day Alliance\npointed nut that the Mother Lode-\nmine was not worked on Sunday and\nmaintained that there would be a\nbetter class of workers by enforcement of the Act. As for sub-section\n2 of clause 4, that was put into the\nAct by Duncan Ross, M. P., for\nVale. The best men had not left\nthe Mother Lode and It was found\nthat just as much work was done by\nthe men in six days as in seven.\nBath and reading rooms have been\nprovided tor the men at that mine.\nFather Hart maim, amid much\nlaughter, advised the secretary to\nleave the devil alone He conceived\nthe act to be in the interests of the\nworkers and should be given a fair\nchance.\nMr, Starkey quoted legal opinion\nto show that the pi ivy council had\nmade no decision that interfered with\nprovincial authority tn legislate. He\npoint*, oul Uuu au \u00E2\u0080\u00A2uluictuu-ut of\nIhe Act would lead lo a demand tor\nhigher wages which might result in\nregrettable labor troubles.\nMr. Buchanan, on the question be-\ning called for, urged further delay.\nft Campbell spoke in favor ol the\namendment that the matter he referred hack to the local boards but on\nHi** question being put the amendment was lost and the original resolution passed wilh a single dissenting voice, lhat of the president.\nThe convention then adjourned, it\nbeing after IU o'clock and two aud ,t\nhall hours had been consumed by\ntins one question.\nThe first matter coming up at this\nmorning's session was lhc lollowlng:\n\"Resolved that this hoard petition\nthe railway commission and the provincial government to make a full\ninquiry into the causes of the coal\nand coke shui*?figc existing Irom time\nio tunc in Eastern 13.

O\nKamm and seconded by It. Campbell\nand carried without further discus\nsioti, Lome Campbell then moved, R\nR, lledlcy, seconding, the following\nresolution, which carried:\n\"Resolved that in view of the great'\nsuffering during the past winter\nwhich resulted from lack of sufficient\nfuel, and loss to the mining und\nsmelting interests in consequence of\nthe shortage of coke and coal, that\nthe Dominion government be asked to\nl once open up their coal fields in\nEast Kootenay iu the 50,000 acres of\nland reserved for the purpose ot offering assurance that a supply would\nbe available under such exceptional\nuiuslaiices as experienced recently.\"\nThe nexl resolution carried, was\nmoved by Lome Campbell and seconded by Geo. Weir:\n\"Whereas, an Act to aid In the pre-\nill-ion and settlement of strikes and\nlockouts iu coal mines has been introduced in the Dominion house, be it\nesulved that the Associated Boards\nof Trade of Eastern B. C. urge upon\nthe Dominion government the necessity ot passing; a bill at the earliest\npossible moment.\"\nThe next resolution was lhat dealing with the list uf mads und\nbridges needed iu East Kootenay,\nbrought up by K. E. Simpson, for the\nCraubrook board. Mr. Simpson had\na difficult task before him hut carried his point, after no little discussion, the programme committee\npresenting a report thai these resolutions were uoi proper matters for\nihe Associated Boards ol Trade lo\ndual with. Eventually the following\nresolution was submitted for those\nproposed by Cranbrook:\n\"Resolved that many trails, roads\nand bridges ate wanted iu tbe country and among those of most pressing importance the Associated\nBoards begged tu recommend lo ihe\nprovincial government lor Immediate\nconstruction ihe following: 1.

This resolution carried on being put.\nThe president of the Associated\nBoards theu tendered his resignation\non the ground that he could not carry\noul the wishes of the boards wilh reference lo the Lord's Day Act. He\nIbeu retired uud the delegates after\nconsiderable discussion added a rider\nto the cesoluliou as passed last\nnight, which the delegates refused lo\nchange in one iota. The rider gave\npower to lite executive to apply to\nIhe provincial attorney general for\nrelief in Uiu premises aud to apply to\nthe Dominion parliament for amendments which should cover any hardships inflicted by the act, which\nmight be shown to exist. This met\nwilh the approval of President Buchanan, who withdrew his resignation;\nIntimating, however, that lie might\nnol concur with the views ol others\nof the executive as to wliai amendments were wanted.\nVotes of thanks were passed lo the\npresident, vice-president, secretary,\nGreenwood buard ot trade and the\nNelson Daily News, and the conveu-'\ntion amounted at a little after the\nnoon hour.\n\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6\u00E2\u0099\u00A6A\na c. l.\nDistillers Company, Limited\nft CALEDONIAN LIQUEUR SCOTCH 7YEARS OLD\nH IN WOOD\nif\n<;| USEDBYALLCONNOISSEURS\n*t\t\nit\nKING GEORGE IV.

Not only\nhas the paper devoted many columns\nol space for the benefit of tbe town,\nbut its (editor has spent his money\nand his time for the good of tbe\ntown. Wc arc ready to-let our record go against any of those who\narc endeavoring to belittle the efforts of either the editor or the\npaper along this line, ll does not\ntake much ability for a man to become a .snarling cur that bites at the\nheels of any individual who believes\nin the go-ahead doctrine.

The\ni el ail men said Ihe manufacturers'\nassociation were lo blame and not\nretailers, lie ascertained from enquiry among dealers that they wanted to make 3d pel cent clear profits,\nbut il was more frequently 20 per\ncent. This meant that farmers paid\nabout 30 per cent to the middleman\nbeside the freight. Hut this was not\nall the Iniquity of the transaction.\nWhen a car arrived, the retail men\ntook oul the best part of this lumber and sold it for SMI aud $00 a\nthousand, and sold the balance to\nfarmers at the regular price for\nwhich the whole ear was graded,\nKverybody knew this was done. He\ndid not exactly see them do it. but\nhe knew that it was done.

There were advances\nn the wholes-ale prices of lumber in\nNovember, 1005, January, ItlOti,\nFebruary, Idflfi, and May, August and\nSeptember, 190fi; most of these advances amounted to u dollar a thou-\nojid all round. He said that the\nmanufacturers were not making\nnoney at that. They had to make\nidvances or go out of business and\nihe advances would have been much\ngreater, but for the fear of the prices\nbringing in outside competition. His\n.irganiz.ition had no connection with\n'he British Columbia Lumber association, nor the American association\nui the Pacific coast. The association hud the consumer in mind when\nfixing its wholesale prices. A motion was made at the meeting in\nJanuary that no sales be made by\nmillmen to municipal corporations.\nThen* Wiis no record iu the minute\nbook id what became of that million. The witness said that the\ngeneral opinion of the millmen wns\nthat such sales should not be made\n.nit they were made all the same The\nassociation had no connection or\nigretmcnl with the retail association\nof Alberta. There were simply fees\n.mil no penalties for membersgip,\nThe grades of lumber had been\nchanged by the association.
