THE DELTA TIMES\nTHURSDAY, MAY 28, 1914,\nORGANIZATION\nIS COMPLETED\nPowell River and Newport Will Be\n1 Farthest North Association\nWill Reach.\nThe Associated Board of Trade of\nthe Lower Mainland of British Columbia was constituted Friday afternoon at a meeting ot delegates\nrepresenting six boards of trade and\na constitution adopted and rules of\norder for the annual meeting to be\nheld on June 26 approved. The\nsix boards of trade represented were\nMission, by President A. W- Yere-\nchere; Port Hammond, by President\nJ. M. Dale; Maple Ridge, by Mr. G.\nO. Buchanan; New Westminster, by\nMr, C. H. Stuart-Wade and President W. G. McQuarrie; Richmond\nand Point Gray, by Secretary J. W.\nJack, and North Vancouver, by\nPresident A. G. Perry. The first\ngeneral meeting will be held in the\nrooms of the New Westminster board\not trade, and by resolution the\nchairman of yesterday's meeting,\nand the secretary are made convenors of the general meeting to be\nheld on June 26.\nConstitution Adopted.\nThe first business before yesterday's meeting was the adoption of\nthe constitution, and on clause one,\nproviding for jurisdiction, the committee that drafted the Instrument\nwas turned down ln its recommendation, the northern boundary being\nchanged to include Powell River\nand Newport, and eastward to Lytton\nonly, the original clause providing\nfor the Inclusion of the whole British Columbia coast from the Yukon\nboundary to Blaine.\nPresident McQuarrie, of the local board of trade, led the fight\nagainst the inclusion of so much\nterritory, and argued that the association should be confined to the\nFraser Valley, saying he was acting on Instructions from the New\nWestminster board. Mr. Verechere\nof Mission agreed that the oiglnal\nlines were pluced too far northward,\nbut ho would not exclude Vancouver\nand North Vancouver. Chairman G.\nO. Buchanan, of Maple Ridge, said\nsurely Vancouver and North Vancouver should be Included, as in\nno case could any one or any two\nboards secure a majority in the association. Vancouver, he argued, had\nnothing to gain by affiliation with\nthe association in that regard. On\nmotion, the boundaries were placed\nso as to include Newport, Powell\nRiver and Lytton, and all points between these places, the international\nboundary and the Gulf of Georgia.\nBusiness nt Annual Meeting.\nBy resolution that clause in the\nconstitution providing that no business can he taken up at the annual\nmeeting unless notice of it has been\nin tho hands of the secretary for 20\n(lays prior thereto, will not apply\nto the first general meeting to be\nheld next month, so that any business may be brought up at this\nmeeting, winch any hoard of trade\nmay Instruct its delegates to bring\nforward, Apparently there will be\nplenty of business for the associated\nhoards to handle next month beside\nthe election of officers.\nWith \oles of thanks for the\nchairman -and secretary for their\nservices, the meeting yesterday adjourned.\nTwelve Boards.\nFrom reports made by Secretary\n('. H. Stuart-Wade and other delegates at yesterday's meeting, it Is\nevident that about twelve boards of\ntrade win aflTuate with the main\nbody, but one hoard, that at Delta.\nso far declining to take part in the\nasrccintion. An official letter from\nthe Delta board was read yesterday, declining to take part in the\nOrganization, but President Hutcherson was present ns a visitor and\nwill report the proceedings to his\nboard at its next meeting.\nFLIGHTY WIND MAKES\nGRUESOME SHOOTING\nLadner Wins Wilson Cup at Cloverdale\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPrice, of New Westminster, First Individual.\nCLOEVRDALE, B.

Ladner won the J. J.\nWilson cup for the team shoot by\nvirtue of the good work, of Oliver\nand Wilson, while New Westminster\nand Cloverdale tied for second place\nleaving the Murrayville colts third\nwith only three points below the second place teams. Price, of New\nWestminster, Oliver and Wilson of\nLadner, tied for first place in the\nindividual shoot, with Kelly of\nCloverdale, second, and O'Neill of\nMurrayville, third. S. Boothroyd\nof Cloverdale, and Maiden of New\nWestminster tied for fourth honors.\nIn the shoot-off of the individual\nmatch on the mlss-and-out system,\nOliver dropped his tirst bird and\nwas out of it, though he beefed on\ntbe referee's decision, and wanted\nto continue shooting, but the verdict of several spectators sustained\nthe referee and Oliver had to quit.\nWilson and Price shot prettily for a\ncouple of birds more and then Wilson missed the same kind of a bird\nthat got Oliver's goat, and he was\nout of it, leaving Price the winner\nof the individual match.\nNew Westminster led off in the\nteam shoot and bad her best shots\nbeen present she should have won\nthe Wilson cup easily. There were\nbut three of the best club shots\nthere and only Price was able to\ndo good work.
