A committee, consisting of W. A. Harkin, J. B. Henderson, P. T. McCallum and T. A. Kennion, was appointed to draft a telegram to be sent A- S.

The first resolution, which follows, was adopted: Whereas, Charters are granted to railway companies in Canada, and bonuses of public laud and subsidies of money are given in many cases to such companies; and whereas, contracts and sub contracts for construction of said railways are often by manipulation placed in the hands of men whose financial responsibility depends upon their success or otherwise in connection wi h the work undertaken by them, and if loss follows such loss to be borne by tbe laborers employed, and by merchants who supply the materials used in the construction of said railways, and" for tbe maintenance of tbe said laborers during construction; and whereas, the benefit of the labor of workmen, and the goods supplied by such merchants, accrues to the railway or chief contractors who ere uot liable lor the debts contracted, and who have too often connived at the putting forward of sucb men of straw, oftentimes alien non-residents, and whereas, it is practically, impossible for laborers and local merchants to ascertain the conditions of the contracts between the railway companies, contractors and sub-contractors, the financial standing of those with whom they directly deal, and have in good fai-h performed the labor and supplied matt rials used for said railway construction; aud whereas, lien attaches for labor performed or supplies furnished in railway construction, De it Resolved, That in the opinion ol this meeting of Grand Forks hoard of trade, before a railway company shall become entit ed to payment ol any bonus or Bnb.-idy, or have the work accepted, or be allowed to operate the railway as carriers, it should lie proved to the sa'tislaction of the honorable minister of railways and canals and the proviucial secretary tbat claims of every kind, direct or indirect, incurred ou account of construction of said rail- way, have been paid or secui ity for their payment has been provided.

C PHONB, 55- FRIDAY, JUNE 6, 190* The present unprecedented activity in the building trade in Grand Forks aud Columbia should not be confounded with a boom. It is but a steady, natural growth ol tbe two cities, and tbe buildings now under construction are being erected to meet present requirements, and will be occupied by tenants or owners as soon as completed It is well that this should be the case, because the collapse of a building boom is tbe greatest calamity that could possibly visit any community, as it leaves in its wake nothing but empty buildings and an overstocked} labor market. Vacant stores and dwellings make a poor advertise nent for a city, and unemployed labor is more of a burden than a blessing. Men in search of business locations or permanent residing places always avoid suebjtowus. And lor this reason Grand Forks can well spare the ephemeral buildine boom. What we want is a steady, substantial growth, like that which we are enjoying at present. The equipment of the Hot Air line is up to date. It possesses one of the latest and most improved submarine engines. Mr. T. P. Coffee is going to extend the iiot Air line to Spokane immediately. We suppose the last spike will be driven at the Spokane terminus next week. It will be a long and' costly hack drive for the Grand Porks contingent if they wish to witness tbe imposing ceremony. Organizer Mitchell. The local aerie starts out under most favorable circumstances, having oyer sixty enthusiastic charter members, and, as the membership is composed of men of some means, its financial condition is also good.

B. Clarke; Outside Guard, Lowery {Trustees,Messrs. Dan- kin, Temple and Cox; Physician, Dr. Kingston. A vast flock of viditiug eagles from Republic and Phoenix flew into town yesterday afternoon to witness aud take part in tbe opening of tbe new aerie. It is needless to say tbat they soared hi^li while here. Grand Forks.

Your advertisement in Tbe Sun is constant reminder to the public that you are still alive. The Rossland Miner is getting too inquisitive concerning the distance between the Hot Air line and the gold- enjspike.

B. C. Situation, • Environments and Greneral Resources. The City of Columbia is 'situated near the junction of the North Forks of the Kettle river with the main Kettle river, and is distant about 300 miles east of Vancouver. The natural situation of the oity for beauty Is not excelled in Ameriea. A verdure-clad and flower-bespangled rolling prairie, traversed by a river of bright, sparkling water, fringed with forest trees and surrounded by mountains, forffliflg a charming combination of ptoturesquesness and grandeur The Columbia A Western railway, which was constructed by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, has its station, freight warehouse and yards in the center of Columbia, and the Vancouver, Victora A Eastern 'Railway company, has located its depot, freight sheds and yards along the east line of the corporation, thus giving the city connections with two transcontinental lines." ' ':•'■ The Canadian Pacific railway company has large interests in the oity, having selected the site on account of' the superior natural advantages as a railway centre. The climate, taken all the . year around/fa the best in Canadn—part of the summer is rather hot and dry, but the rest of the year is eujoyable., . Throughout the Kettle River valley there is an extent «f fertile agricultural land, part of whioh is now being cultivated. < Apples, plums, pears, prunes, cherries and' all tne small fruit? grow abundantly. /The valley surrounding "Columbia, divided into small fruit and , vegetable farms, will sustain a large population. , , Udilding material is plentiful in the district, Lumber can be procured at fair prices, and brick lime and stone • ■of good quality oan always be obtained when required. The fnining interests are of the first importance to this oountry, and will do much to build up Columbia. Large mineral lodes have been discovered throngh the mountains adjacent to the oity, and what were mere prospects a short time since are now iarge paying mines. Water is supplied the eity by pumping from a beautiful spring of fexcep tioual purity, capable of supplying a city of 50,000 inhabitants. The Granby smelter, and converter —the most modern and perfect plaut of the kind in America—employing hundreds, of men, is contiguous to the city, Owing to the fine climate, the central situation, the beautible environments, the bright prospects for future growth aud prosperity, Columbia will e an educational centre, a city of homes, as well as a wholesale distributing point; and when finally allied and wedded to her sister sister, will be the best and largest eity in tha interior.
