note: Froyirtcial library jan 19 / ' O MMlMWI Vol.'X GBESTON, B.C., FRIDAY-JANUARY 24, 1919 No. 50 E *S. A. SPEERS Members of Creston Board of Trade��������� Gentlemen : The year just closed bas marked such an advance in the Board's activities, as well as in the all-round commercial devoiopment of the Vaiiey, that one is at a loss to know just where to begin a presidential address, but following the custom of previous yaars I will briefly detail some of the more prominent feature&iof the year's export trade in the lines the Valley has now attained some considerable prominence for producing. So near as we can get at the figures, and be it said considerable care has been taken to see that these are correct and conservatively stated, the points in the Cretsori Valley���������from Sirdar to Canyon City���������-��������� have enjoyed a total trade with centres outside the Valley of slightly oyer $400,000.00���������an increaese in total trade of* some $65,- 000 as compared with 1917, which was, as stated a year ago, the Valley's banner year in the matter of exports in lumber, posts and poles more especially. In fact,, had the business in these timber commodities in 1018 been on a par with the 1917 showing, we would have almost touched a total trade of half a million dollars. This year the value of our fruit and vegetables trade has more than dotsb led that of 1917, or any other season. a great pleasure for me to tell you that the 1918 attendance of members at the regular siuettings was zan best and most enthusiastic achieved. The average turnout at eleven meetings was thirteen members. We now have a membership of 23, five new ones joining'up in the past year.
