That tbe future of tbe Bouad- atv country is not limited entirely and simply to the wages coming directly as wages from the mining and smelting companies but tbere_is every prospect of subsidiary enterprises to the greater industry springing up steadily and having the mating of a good and varied business community here is a point often forgotten and illustrated prettv well by the work being done at the present time by local -works. .\" Such industries springing up in. the very centre of the mining industry of British Columbia will attract business from over the entire southern portion *of the Province. At the local foundry pf the Nelson Iron Works two mortarp weighing 7,500 lbs. each,*1 for a 10-stamp mill at the Queers mine at Salmo are being cast and *wil! be shipped early next week. This is the'largest and heaviest casting that has ever>een made in : this ���part: of. the country, the Greenwood foundry being fiitted to do heavier work than even the. Nel- -sen shop can do.

The dividing line referred to in tbe above communication, the 120th parallel, cuts this country, near Keremeos. All east of Keremeos will be included in the late season. The open season for fishing commenced on Wednesday last. It is to be hoped, however, that local fishermen will have enough interest in tbe laudable purpose* of the Fish and Game Assaciation to refrain from fishing in Bouudary Creek until after high water. This one of the things that test the decency of a man. No man without some consideration for the general interest as well as his own, is a desirable citizen. Don't be an undesirable. WHAT ABOUT DISCRIMINATION Board of Trade Takes Up Discrimination. in Freight Rates Against Canadian Points-Council is Elected. Mother Lode Grade The engineer in charge of the Mother Lode grading work, Mr. C. S. Moss, of Nelson, stated on Monday last that all the tenders for this work were in and were being examined by the engineers at Vancouver and Winnipeg. As soon as \"they are returned, Mr. Moss expects that work will be started on the grade. That will be in the course of a week or ten days. High Thoughts for Young Men. \"Which is preferable, a clean cross wife or a good natured dirty one,\" was the height to which, the Young Men's Club of St. Columba's church rose at their last meeting. It is urged that young meu will talk on these subjects more than others, -hence the choice. As for the. decision it is giyen to us as follows, \".As all women wera more or less cranky, a \"clean wife was after al! more desirable.\" It was touch and go however, the good natured woman finding many ardent admirers. Next Thursday tbe club takes up a really serious subject, Resolved that conditions in the East are more favorable to success in life thau in the West. The Board of Trade .held its regular meeting on Monday night last in the upper room at the Citv Hall and there were twenty-one of the forty members there. President Warren in the chair. A \"Constitution and Bv-laws prepared in accordance with the Bords of Trade Act by Mr. J. P. McLeod was read clause by clause and passed. The monthly general meeting was fixed for the second Wednesday in each month. The annual meeting in accordance with the Act is fixed for the meeting. By-laws also call for a council of nine members and the following five names were added: Messrs. W; T. Hunter, J. E. McAllister Duncan Mcintosh, J. 1?. McLeod and C. J. Wilson. The President and Vice-President were sworn in bv the Mayor, this also being required by the Act. The Secretary reported considerable correspondence among which was a letter from the e*en- eral passehe-er ao-entof the Great Northern Railway askine for a further supply of the pamphlet. \"Brief Statement of Facts About che Boundary,\" issued bv the Board of Trade last July. Vice- president Russell suggested that some inaccuracies in this brief statement should be corrected and a discussion followed, the upshot of it all being the appointment of a publicity committee composed of Messrs. McLaine, Mcintosh, Beattie and Macfarlane. The intention seemed to , be that this committee should g-atber information systematically about the Boundary aud see that Greenwood had her p1ace kept in the various newspapers of the Province. A case of what looks very much like malicious dsscrimination by the Great N6rthern against Canadian points as compared with United States and Washington poitlts was reported to the Board. No satisfaction could be obtained from the Claim's Department of the railway. Au overcharge claim sent to that oflice in October had elicited no response as yet. Freight from Myncaster to Midway was 11 and 7 cents and from Myncaster to Ferry, two hundred yard's distant 8 and 5 cents. It was suggested that a memorandum be prepared, illustrating this and other cases in point and forwarded to Mr. W. W. Broughton general freight agent at St.Paul, and failing immediate response to get into touch with the Railway Commission which would not stand for discrimination. Other similiar cases being reported the Secretary was instructed to communicate with Mr.Broughton Mrs. J. p, Flood who was with Mrs. Eeesc at the end, told him that life had gone. Mrs. Flood went south last fall and has been living with Mrs. Reese and the three children. Arrangements have been made to bring the body home for burial. Mrs. Reese has been a resident of. Greenwood from its early days, although she was a uative of New Brunswick. Mr. Reese has the sympathy of very many friends in tbe Boundary in-his bereavement. The Findlay Find. Death of Mrs. Reese. Word from Los Angeles, Cal., on Sunday last conveyed the intelligence of the death of Mrs. King Reese who went there from Greenwood last July in order to find relief from tubercular trouble, Mr. Reese had received a telegram on Saturday telling him that her condition was very serious and had gone as far as Spokane, when a further message from his sister, Geo. McKenzie, of Hazleton. B.C., who has been visiting his brother, Kenneth McKenzie and his sister here on his return trip from Nova Scotia, and left last week for Vancouver, leaves that city next Thursday (April 2nd) for tbe North. Writing from Vanr couver of the Findlay riyer reports he says that one.man he had seen who had been in there since '98 and who had just come out said\" that while it was a good country there were no discoveries sufficient to warrant the stories in circulation. A good many people were going in but they could not get past Hazleton as the trail from there into Findlay was impassable and there were no supplies at Hazleton. The river will not be open till about the middle of April. Mr. McKenzie who, it will be remembered started, the Beaverdell stage-line has been up north uow about four years and is taking in a stage outfit from Vancouver. He will run a-stage line this summer from Hazleton to Aldermere. '': ^'w\" \"��� y-^y--''''^ \"'\"*. Bereavement of Mr. Fair. . Word was received in Greenwood this week of the death of the mother of Mr. Charles Fair at Collingwood. Her death oc curred 6ti Sunday last, Mr. Fair having reached Collingwood a few days before. It is understood that after Mr. Fair had reached Collingwood, he went immediately to his mother's hou3e but on returning to his brother's residence, himself was taken ill'aud was unable either to visit his mother again before ber decease or to attend her funeral. Very widespread sympathy will be felt for Mr. Fair iu his bereavement. Mr- Nadtn's New Venture The current issue of the B.C. Gazette contains the registration of the \" G. R.

But on the whole because of the immense prosperity of the past ten years, Canada's recuperative power is not being very sorely taxed by these demand-- and everywhere the signs of the returning tide are forcing themselves on our attention.

It is early to talk about crop prospects, but the acerage under the plow this year will show a large increase over last year. The total trade of Canada in 1897 was $257,168,862; in 1907 it was $617,864,952. From 1886 to ,i896,the trade of Canada increased fifty millions or five millions a year. Last year the increase was sixty seven millions. The Canadian Pacific Railway could this last year borrow $10,- 000,000 at a shade less than four per cent. The Government itself pavs a little more than three per cent, and by way of comparison the New York Central is' paying a bit more than five per cent. Speaks well for Canadian conditions. In varumsquarters, there seems almost to be an effort to impress ou tho dull imaginations of reasonable people that Canada as a whole is in the grip of what is known as \"hard times.\" Those parts of Canada which are most closely affected or wholly dependent on some industry relying for tbe consumption of its product entirely on Uuited States demand, are, of course, seriously affected by the business depression tliere generally accompanying a Presidential election, and intensified tbis year by a reaction from tbe extreme activity of an especially prosperous period. But it is certainly not out of place in communities so affected to remember tbat Canada as a whole does not show anything like the business depression current across the border. It is on the other hand useless to assert that the wave of supreme prosperity is still sv/eep- ing over Canada as it did two or four years ago. Theharvestof last **var was poor, consequently prices rose to aa unusual extent and m-iny industries were inconvenienced by the increase in the cost of supplies.

Mr. E. A.. Hoare, the chairman of the bank, refers to- the adverse criticism that has been vewted upon Canadian banks because they lend cal' money at New York. That money is lent to act as a reserve in case of a crisis, as it could easily be witl - drawn in case it was wanted in Canada. Mr. Hoare says: ''There is oue statement frequently made, .both in tbis country and Canada, and repeated openly in the press, to the effect that Canadian banks were greatly hampered because their resources are so largely employed in New York. Speaking for ourselves alone, I am glad of the opportunity of most definitely correcting this statement. We employ part of our call money in New York���we have always done so���and when the recent panic broke out we had a considerable sum employed iu this manner. It is only due to our many and valued friends with whom we do business in New York to state tbat in no single instance did this bank fail to obtain re-payment of call loans when we wanted the money.\" As regards note issue, the circulation of the bank did not expand to tbe volume of 1906, owing to the shortage of the wheat crop. Mr. Hoare pays a gratifying tribute to Canada and Canadian finances. The uew British Supplement to the London Standard which will be published with that paper every Friday will have its first issue on May 22nd. It will pump into the British people facts about Cauada. It is expected to have a large colonial circulation. In the last five years the C.P.R. floated id cammon stock and in bonds about $200,000,000. Yet on a weak day in the Loudon Exchange last week, C.P.R. stood firm. Pretty good evidence of the sound condition of Canada.eh! The '��� Soo \" Common Stock (Lake Superior Steel Corporation) is now on a six per cent basis. The company's profits from June 1, 1907 to Jan, l,1908,show asur- plus of $526,000. Orders on hand bulk largely, one single order being from tbe C.P.R. for 50,000 tons of 85-lb. steel rails. The output of the \"Soo\" mills is now 800 tons of steel rails and 500 tons of pigiron. Ouly a half dozen years ago all this business was done outside of Canada. The operatic and fashionable event ot next week is the appearance of the Beggar Prince Opera Company. This is indeed a musical treat for our people. As this company is so well known, it would be reiteration to add words about their ability and reputation. It suffices to say, however, that a pervsal of this company will elicit at once the interest of the theatre goer.

The reserve to which 1 snaii iefer again, is increased by IM,00\\). Deposits snow a ueu-eu.se ot *,Mi,w*l. This decrease is chk-tly ln tne current accounts; inieiest-uuai-ing deposits in Canada actually showed an l.icrease compared with the pievlous yea-*, iou are already aware that throughout the year, and particularly towards the end of the yeau*. there was a very keen demand for money in Canada, and not in Canada alone, but throughout the world, and under these conditions we consider it most satisfactory that our deposits have held their own ���so well. In studying the annual reports sent home by our branch managers, I find tlie decline in .deposits repeatedly explained by the attrac- - tlons.of sound investments, which, - owing to the financial stringency, were' to be; purchased at most L favorable prices, and also to the opportunities of lending money in the West upon mortgage at high rates of interest. ..Notes- -in circulation ,��how a decrease of ��87,000. ��� At no, time during 1907 dW the circulation expand to * the level of 1906, owing to the condition of the harvest in the West, to which'I shall refer later on. Bills, payable and other liabilities, including provision for contingencies, show a decrease of ��601,000. This is an Important redtictlon, due chiefly to the contraction of business iri the United States during Ootober, November and December, to which I shall have to make further reference later on, On the other side' of the account cash and specie show an increase of ��219,000. The cash and specie, amounting to ��1,118,000, was equivalent to BS per cent, of our ithmedlat-* .��*- bilitles���that I��. deposits payable oft demand and note' circulation���a percentage which shows aa unusually .strong position. Cash at call and abort notice show a decrease of �� 767,000. Investments show the following changes. In the interim balance- sheet to June 39th you , have already been informed that the sum of ��6,080. had been taken from the prof its of the half-year with the object of writing down our holding of Consols to 83, at which figure they now stand in the balance-sheet. Dominion of Canada bonds show an Increase of ��12,600, and now stand at ��157,000, with 97 as the book cost Other securities have decreased ��15,000, and we: are able to repeat the statement in the -report of - June 29th- that - \"the book cost Is - lower than the current market quotation.\" The total of the Investments 18-69,000 lower than a year ago. Bllla receivable and loans on security ana other . accounts show a decrease of ��880,000, . and /premises, after the transfer of ��20.000 from 'the profits, show a decrease of ��5,077. The work undertaken on premisea.during the year.has not yet1 all. been paid for, and' there is still much to be done before we can feel satisfied .that our branch- premises have been brought up to thp ra-: aulred standard.. We can assure yob that the money thus appropriated 5b most carefully spent, not for purposes- of display, but simply to promote the -���vfnclency of the bank's bustnesB. We have three branches at this moment. which imperatively \"demand either new premises, or suestani.al* extensions of existing premises, the cost of which, Apart from the requirements of Central 'lanada and the usual Incidentals at other branches, will absorb the whole of this sum, and more. ' . . ��� As already stated, by the addition of ��20,000, the reserve fund has been Increased to ��480,000.- Good progress has been made in recent yeais in building up the reserve fund, but still there is much to be done, and we hope to be able, year by j-eur, to make substantial additions to it.. As to profits, again we have the satisfaction of re- Porting, to you that the bank's busi- rteos during 1907 has shown satisfactory profits, although just falling short of the profits earned ln the preceding year. The actual net profits for 1908 were ��129.016. and for 1907: �� 122.til7, showing a decrease of ��6.399. We are still able to repeat exactly the distribution of this time last year by payment of the usual dividend at the rate of 6 Der cent, per annum, with the addition of a bonus of 1- per cent..- making in all 7 per cent, for the.year.. \\Ve; again suggest to you that you should kindly recognize the services of the staff, of which we cannot speak too highly, by granting them a bonu�� of 5 per cent... upon their . salaries, which will absorb about ��4,000/ We shall then carry forward to the new account ��24,014, compared with ��19,- 610. at this time last year. Some of the .changes to which I have referred are larger than fall within, our usual experience, and they are chiefly due tn the great disturbance of credit which we have-recently witnessed in tlie United States. . The decline in our bills payable ls due to this cause alone, and means that our exchange business In .New York was completely paralysed for nearly three months, nor have we yet seen a return to such conditions, as to lead us to seek after a large volume of exchange business, and, in faot, our bills payable today -show a further large diminution tsince December 31st. We fully appreciate the more favorable position of the New Tori? banks, coupled with the resumption of cash payments since the beginning of the year, but we should feel more confidence in the future if there were some' clearer; evidence that the lessons of the crisis will not be allowed . to pass unheeded,** and, therefore, we continue to act cautiously, waiting to see what the after-effects' may be upon the Industry and bommeree of the country/. It is ho part of my dutv today to Investigate the causes which led to this finnntJial convulsion ln the TTnltea States, or to endeavor to award either censure or- excuse; but this much I may Bay���that It did not need any unusual degree of sagacity, to foresee that their financial methods must inevitably lead to danger, and, therefore, in the early.days of 1907 we began to take measures of ''precaution, which were fully justified by subsequent events. There was. one statement frequently made, both in this country and Canada, and repeated openly In the Press, to the effect that Canadian hanks were greatly hampered because their resources were so largely employed In New York: Speaking* for onr-- selves alone, I am. glad of the opportunity of most definitely correcting this statement. We employ -part of our call money lh New York���we have always done so���and when the recent panlo broke out we had a considerable sum employed in this manner. It Is only due to our many and valued friends with whom we do business In New York to state that in no single instance, did this bank fall to obtain repayment of call loans when we wanted the money. Naturally, we disturbed our loans as little as possible, but still from time to time, ln the ordinary course of our business, it was necessary to make, calls, and when this occurred the borrowers never, failed to respond.. In Canada, fortunately, contraction had commenced long before the tlrirte of trouble in the United States, a, contraction which was' by no means voluntary on the part of the community, but which was' enforced by the banks. After some years ot prosperity there had - been the rusual tendency to advance more rapidly than even the favorable conditions of the country' justified, and even before the end* of 1906 this had Keen evident to those whose business it: is to preside over the banking institutions of the Dominion. The demand for money was keen before the. close of 1906, and as the months \"parsed ��� oh ��� in 1907 there \\va�� a general stringency felt ln every department of business. *The resources of the banks throughout ,1907 were employed up to the limit of safety, and tliey found It necessary to refuse additional advances, and strictly to*hold their ' customers within limits . This was indeed fortunate, for the result was that when the storm burst, in the. United States, Canada found herself in a safe, position. The stringency of money continued, and even Increased, with a consequent depreciation in thp value of. securities and a decided\" cneek to mercantile business; but this condition of affairs did not come to them (suddenly, and so, - happily, although the trouble was very .nigh at hand, the people remained calm and faced i. the situation with most commendable pood sense. At no time was there any trace of panic in Canada. The -banks did their utmost to supply all the legitimate needs of their customers, and the customers recognizing the gravity of the situation, reduced their requirements in every possible direction. The result must be regarded as eminently eati��fa<;t->ry >by all concernel. and especially by the Dominion Government, which has now seen its banking system, originated with much care and skill, and subsequently elaborated ���with' the assistance of the Bankers' Association, put to a- most severe test, and emerging from it with complete success. Th�� occasion may serve to illustrate the value of close and Intimate consultation 'between the Government and the Bankers' Association, thu? working harmoniously together for the good of the community. * The wheat crop was a disappointment. Owing to.the length and excessive severity of the winter 1906-7. the crop was late and consequently exposed to early frost. It was at one time estimated that, nowithstandlng the damage thus done to the crop, the results of the season to the farmer would be as good as In the ptoceonig year, owing to the greatly enhanced price of wheat. This hope can no longer bo entertained, for there Is no doubt that ln many districts the damage.done by frost was so extensive that even the high price ruling for good quaUtia? could not compensate for the loss thus sustained. But, notwithstanding this* disappointment, there is still considerable value in the wheat crop, an-1 disappointment evidently does not mean discouragement, for it has been stated recently by the High Commissioner that the' acreage under crop irt 1908 will exceed that of 1907 by no les- than 1,000.000 acres, and up to the present time the season has hot-n ��p->r. arid\" favorable. The mineral production of British Columbia for 1907. ac-. cording to an approximate estimate. shows an increase of three-quarters of a million dollars over that of 1906 which must be \"considered satlsfnctorv when lt is remembered .that the Boundary mines were shut down for about two months. The total value of the mineral production in the province wa- $25,730,000, compared with $24,980,000 in 1906. It must be remembered thnt for the greater part of 1907 the price' 0? copper, which ls the largest pro-iugt of the mines, was exceptionally high. and far above that ruling, today. At Dawson, however, the production of ���tjold continued to decline, and in 190\" barely reached $3 000.060, compared \\vlth $5,250,000 in .1906. It is anticipated by- those who know the ca-*ir> well that when the works of the Yukon Gold Company are completed thi-* continuous dpoline will he arrested.' and a large increase, of production wil' be seen. We hope that these anticipations may be verified, but there hay- been the inevitable delays, and the THE BANK OF BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. BALANCE SHEET, 31 ��t DECEMBER, 1907.

I Chartered Ar-r-onntnnbT great Ditch will not be ready for tbe ions season. 3 , Since December 31st���the- date to which the accounts are' made up���we have felt-it our duty to join with the other leading banks in Canada in giving a guarantee for the Sovereign Bank, whioh has gone, into liquidation. We were Invited tb Join In the guarantee on the-extent of $300,000, and having regard to , the fact that all the circumstances '. had been carefully weighed by the leading: banks in Canada and that the proposal to wind up the Sovereign Bank wa-s approved by them wtth the best means of information at their disposal, we felt that it was our duty to join with them in taking the steps necessary to prevent the suspension of payment. At the same time we feel that it is-an open question whether it ls wise for other banks thus to intervene and ward off the consequences of unsound banking. This is the second time within fifteen months, that we havo l-.een invited to take our part ln rendering auch assistance, and though we have consented to do so under guidance fixim strong local opinion, we are not convinced that suoh action is for the real good of the country. It appears to us that such, Intervention, thus repealed, is. sure to weaken the sense of responsibility- amongst those who direct and manage banks everywhere, and also that it must tend to encourage carelessneee ' amongst depositors and the community generally. And now, before I conclude, you will expect me to say. a few words re- spec-ting our future yrospeota; and this ls the most difficult part of my task. The Influences whioh we must -ionslder do not have their origin in Canada alone, or even principally in Canada. We have still to consider the after-effects . of the crisis In the United States. There are apparently some on the other side who consider that, those effects are merely temporary, and that industry and commerce will suffer no set-back, and although we do no-t- share this opinion���and the evidence of decreasing' railway traffics and Increasing failures Is distinctly opposed to it���it may yet be justified by the strong reoupera/Hve power shown In the past by that great country. If, on the other hand, there follows, as we ourselves expect, a period of dullness, or. even of depression in trade, In the United States, this can hardly fall to affect business In Canada, for the trade relations between the two countries are close and Intimate. We must, also remember that trade In European oountries has certainly passed high-water mark, and that we have already, entered upon a period of diminishing activity. In Canada itself, as I have-already pointed, out; the proceeds of the harvest are below expectations, and, consequently, there will be les4 money available for distribution. If these influences shouil-d mean a pause In the rapid progress of tbe .last few years, an interval between. the progress of the past and Its certain resumption in the future, It will probably be no bad thing for Canada: - A time for the municipalities, manufacturers, mer- i-harits, individuals* and last, but surely not least, for, labour, to examine Into their position, re-value their a***- \"--els, criticize their expenditure,' and where necessary, ..uatltute economies, will be useful, and will serve to build In the foLundaUona of future progress nnd prosperity even .more firmly than ihsy stand at present. But this pro- e��s may.rawn an \\ interval of diminished profits for us all, and. although we have been able this-year to repeat tbe bonuses of last year, both to ���;'iat*e'\"older�� and to the staff, we do not wish any of you to calculate upon that additional distribution a y��sa* hence. Wc shall see our way morw clearly as the months pa.is by and the prospeots of the harvest develop. -With G;000,000 acres under the plough in the' three Central Provinces, as stated by the High Commissioner, the harvest nf 1908 imu-'t be an Important fae'.or. If It should happily come to maturity und be'garnered' in good condition, ��� It would be reasonable to expect that this mig'ht be a **I��-nal for renewed activity ln the business of the whole country. I must not omit to refer to the open- 'n*** of the CfMiailan Mint on January \"nd. -when the. first coin ever minted in Canada was struck by Earl Grey, Die Governor-General, who said:���\"As a representative of His Majesty, I have much pleasure in declaring the Panadian branch of the Royal Mint cpen.\" More recently���on February 6t*l>���Mr. \"Fielding, Minister of Finance, replying to a question in the Dominion House of Commons, said that the Mint would, shortly be turning out gold coins of the value of $2.50, $5 and $30. In the course of the year Mr. Tomklnson, at the re- nuest of the court, paid a* visit to the New York and San Francisco agencies and to the branches of the bank Ip British Columbia and the Central Provinces; and Mr. Mayne Campbell, on his return to Canada in the summer, kindly made arrangements, at tho reaueet of the court, to visit some of the branches In Ontario which had not previously, been brought -within the itinerary of a visiting director, and we feel much indebted to both of our colleagues for their most valuable- services. I beg now to propose that the report and accounts be adoptsd. (Applause.) Mr.'Richard H. Glyn: I beg to sroond that. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The Chairman: The following directors retire by rotation, and offer themselves for re-election:���I have t.o put my name, proposed by Mr. G. D. Whatman; Mr. G. C. W. Tomkinson is pronosed by Mr. H.-J. B. Kendall, and Mr. J. H. Mayne Campbell is proposed by Mr. J. H. Brodle. These nominations were formally npproved. On the motion of Mr. Powell, seconded by a shareholder, Mr. George B*'.eath and Mr. Nicholas 13. Water- house were re-elected auditors. The Chairman: That concludes the business before the meeting. Mr. Powell: I think we ought to -as& a vote of thanks tb the directors and staff. They have served us extremely well during the year: The resolution was carried unanimously, and the Chairman having ���acknowledged the compliment, the pr**. cpodlngs terminated.
