Grand Forks, B. C, Friday, December 1 J. 1903 No. 12 Discussed Salaries Board of Trade Elects Officers for Ensuing Year. A Call for a Protest Against the Assessment Act Received From Victoria—Imposes Extraordinary Taxes on Merchants and Manufacturers. The adjourned annual general meeting of the Grand Forks board of trade was called to order at 8 o'clock last Wednesday evening in the city hall by President Cayley. A large and representative body of business men were present, and a number of new names were added to the membership roll. After the minutes of the previous meeting bad been read and approved, and the members hnd paid their quarterly dues, the secretary read the following resolution: Moved by W. K. C. Manly, seconded by A. W. Faaser: Whereas, the city council has passed a by-law to remunerate the mayor of Grand Forks and the aldermen of the city by giving tbe mayor $300, nnd the aldermen $3 a day fur each regular meeting attended hy them; and wher(ns, the alderman who introduced the by-law only contemplated remunerating the mayor, and the amendment including aldermen was introduced in committee of the whole against the will of the alderman who introduced the by-law, ami passed in spite of his protests; and whereas, there is some doubt of the legality of so amending a bylaw, and action has been threatened against the city by certain of the ratepayers; and whereas, this board considers the time inadvisable for incurring the expense of a conteste 1 lawsuit and the expense of paying the* remunerations above set out; Therefore be resolved, that this board of trade hereby request tbe eity council to reconsider the said by-law, and tbat the secretary be instructed to write to the .mayor and council requesting them to repeal the same. The discussion on tbis resolution took up the greater part of the evening. Mayor Burrell was the first speaker. He thought that, in order to preserve harmony In the board, the proper place to discuss a resolution of this nature would be at a citizens' meeting. There were a number of things to be explained in connection with the salary by-law, he said, which could not be fully gone into at a meeting of tho board owing to lack of tiroe- W. K. C. Manly said the board of trade was the proper to handle the subject under discussion. Tbe members were the heaviest ratepayers in the city, and any subject affecting the city finances naturally interested them. Taking the present condition of thc city treasury into consid- tion, he did not see why the members of the council should not donate their services to the city. He himself served two terms in the council gratis during the early days of the city, when there was twice as much work to look aftor as at present. H. C. Hanington, P. T. McCallum and a,number of oihers alsospoke, the majority of them supporting Mr. Manly's views in favor of the resolution. After a thorough discussion, final action on the resolution was postponed for one week in order to give the city solicitor a chance to pass on the legality of the salary by-law. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, W. K. C. Manly; first vice-president, K. C. MacDonald; second vice-president, C. A. S. Atwood; secretary, Donald McCallum; treasurer, Geo. Clark; executive council, M. Burrell, N. McLellan, A. W. Fraser, P. T. McCallum, L. P. Eckstein, Geo. Rutherford, W. B. Bower, Jeff Davis, J. Hammar, H. C. Hanington, Fred Clark, Wm. Spier, John Donaldson, H. E. Woodland. A special meeting of tbe board of trade was held Thursday afternoon to take action on the following teli gram, received from the seoretary of the Victoria board of trade: "President Board of Trade, Grand Forks:—New assessment law im poses extraordinary taxes upon merchants and manufacturers. This board is protesting and asking for delay until the law can be eonsid e-cd by the interests affected, and urges you to instruct your representative by wire to insist upon delay. Immediate action is necessary. '' Oo motion, the following telegram was ordered to be immediately sent to Geo. A. Fraser: "Grand Forks board of trade joins Victoria board in urging delay of assessment bill. "W. K. C. Mani.y, President." The following loiter was also ordered to be forwarded: "Geo. A. Fraser, Victoria:—Tbe executive council of the board of trade has just held a meeting nnd wired. As stated in telegram, which telegram I now confirm, the board of trade will probably back up any representations made by the boards of Victoria and Vancouver. In the meantime wc think the bill should be kept in committee of the whole until tbe boards of trade of the province have time to make their representations. "Donald McCallum, Sec." J. Ehrlich, manager for P. Burns & Co. at Greenwood, made a business trip to thc city this week. A small blaze broke out at noon yesterday in the workshop of F. E. Cooper in the rear of bis undertaking establishment, but as the fire brigade arrived on tbe scene very promptly it was soon extinguished. A large gathering of the members of Grand Forks Aerie No. 237, Fraternal Order of Eagles, took place on Monday night in their new hall in the Addison block, the ocension being the ann ual election of officers and the dedication of the hall. The following officers were elected:- W. Past President, C. C. Tilley; W. Presidents' J. F. Royer; W. Vice- President, C. B. Peterson; W. Treasurer, P. A. Z. Pare; W. Secretary, Chas. Dahnken; W. Chaplain, H. A. Sheads; W. Conductor, Jas. Reeder; I. G., M. Duford; 0. G., Chas. Peterson; Trustees, Geo. E. Massie, Nels Johnson and Irwin Rellew; Physician, Dr. R. \\j, Northrop. It was decided to hold a smoker in the near future, and committees were appointed to look after the details. The occasion will be made a notable one, and the Eagles from Republic. Greenwood, Phoenix, Nelson aud Rossland arc expected to take part in the entertainment. Invitations will also be extended to many of the citizens who arc not members of tbe order to participate in tbe festivities. A few years ago the coming of a good musical company to our city was a great event and always filled the house with n fine nndience. In tbe program to be given by the Schubert Symphony Club and Lady Quartette on December 17th, at the Biden opera house, wc have a musical entertainment that is highly enjoyable from first to last. Our readers will do well to remember that it is not often that we are offered such a feast of musical good things as the Schubert's program contains.

Wilson returned to Nelson last Saturday, after having closed an important deal in this oiiy whereby tbe Lightning Peak Miningcompany secured the Thunder Hill group; situated on the north fork of Kettle riqer, A cash payment of $5000 was made to the owners by Mr. Wilson ('in behalf of thc company, nnd tbe former will also receive 250,000. shares of stock for the balance of their interest. Tbe Lightning Peak Mining company is anew concern in which many Nelson business men are interested. Tbe board of directors consists of Frank Mans, Charles F. Diethernnd Hon. Chas. E. Hamilton, of St. Paul; .1. F. Wardnor, of Chicago; J. Fred Hume, R. .). Hawkey nnd P, K. Wilsrn, Nelson. The property acquired by the company is I elicved to be very rich, the development work thai has been done on it so far having shown up some very high grade ore. * # * Work has been commenced on some new ore cars at the (iranby mines machine shop. Thc cars will hold about ten tons. Tbey will be used in connection with thc two small locomotives recently ordered, which will take tbe place of horse power in the Nos. 1 and 2 tunnels. * * * A good sleigh road has been built for the accommodation of the Roderick Dhu claim, in Long Lake camp, and three cars lot high grad ore arc ready for shipment, the development thus far having given good results. Shipments will be made as soon as there is sufficient snow. A Toronto dispatch of the the 7th inst. says: "J. B. McArthur, K.C., who at one time was a leading lawyer in 'Winnipeg, died at thc Elliot house this morning. Mr. McArthur was 54 years of age. He studied law with tbe firm of Crother & Tilt, afterwards Mulock, Tilt & McArthur. He retired from the firm in 1SS2 in order to go to Winnipeg, where he was one of the pioneers, and built up a very large practice, which he carried on for several years in partnership with Hugh John Macdonald and Stuart Tupper. "For the past ten years Mr. Mc- Arinur has been prominently connected with the mining interests in the Kontenays in British Columbia. Wben he first went to British Columbia he became a resident of Kaslo, Where he practised law. When tbe Rossland boom started he left Kaslo and went to the Golden Ciiy, where he had considerable to do with the mining interests of tbat place. For a time be was thc attorney for F. Aug. Heinze, principally, however, in the capacity of legal advisor. For the past four years he has confined most of his attention to his mining interests in the Boundary and Similkameen sections. He made frequent trips to tho east on financial business connected with the mining deals with which he was intciesled. Mr. MeArthur had unbounded faith in the mineral resources of British Columbia, nnd had he lived to see some of Lis larger deals carried out he would in a few years have made a large fortune. "It wns said by his friends hero that he suffered severe financial reverses by the collapse of thc British Columbia mining boom in 1,897) which has taken him ever since to recover from." Mr. McArthur wns well known in Grand Forks, and tbe news of his death will be learned with sorrow. He wns nt one time connected with the Columbia Townsite company; also tbe Columbia Stage Line, running between Marcus and this city. He made a liberal donation for the erection of the Baptist church in Columbia. He was a resident of the eity for a year and a half. Sit?

Kit: IUY, DECEMBER 11, 1903 lx our last issue we expressed our opinion on the salary by-law, and we believe that !•!' per cent of the ratepayers in this city share our views on this subject. In fact, The Six during tbe Inst couple of (lays has come in for much favorable comment from the citizens in general fo~ the stand it has tnken in this matter. It is to be regretted that the by-law, ns amended, was passed, as it bas certainly caused considerable bitterness on the part ol a majority of the ratepayers towards the members oi the council who voted for it. This bitterness has reached a very high tension. Last Wednesday • N. I). Mcintosh, n heavy ratepayer, instituted proceedings against the city to have the by-law annulled. Papers in connection with these proceedings have been served on tbe mayor and city clerk, and Mr. Mcintosh, backed by others, will light Ihe ease to a finish. Under these circumstanci it appears to us that the only peaceful and satisfactory solution of the matter would he for tbe promoters of the obnoxious by-law to reconsider it and consent to its withdrawal at the next regUlai meeting of tbe city council. At a meeting of the hoard of trade Wednesday evening tbe matter came up for discussion, and a resolution wand For.cs, n I will re main for a few days only.

The EXTRAORDINARY OFFER A radical change from old methods and prices was announced by the Toronto News this week. The eyes of the newspvper world have been upon The News for thc past few months, during which time several j departures have been made which have given that paper a widespread reputation for enterprise and originality. This latest move is to place The News at the price of 81.00 a year by mail. Only a deep-founded belief in the future success of The News could lead the publishers to make such a reduction in price, lint just as the dollar magazine has taken hold of thc people; so, we venture to predict, The News will secure a vast and ever-increasing circulation, bused not only on the pop* ular price at which it is sold, but The following is the roll of honor of tbe Nortli Fork of Kettle River school for October!

"I cannot doubt your honesty," said bhe clothier, "but still proofs ar« proofs, nnd you may submit your documents." "Do you remember that I was It. your store six months fiffo?" "Alas!

It had been marked down from fifteen dollars to eight dollars and fifty cents.'* "Yes, I recognize the cloth, and I grieve to think that I lost six dollars and fifty cents on that suit. I had to mark them down to make room for the quick-lunch business on t/he other side." "You warranted the dye," continued the honest man, "and there has 'been no fading- or crocking:. I cannot say that you lied to me." "And the price was right?" "It was. I hug the delusion that I found a bargain." "Then what is the cause of thy com plaint?" "It Is no complaint, oh. clothier.

"Here, Ikey, come forward and explain." "I—-I wad tempted," said the young man, ns he trembled before his employer. "So?
