tion which was seconded by Proctor,
that as the raise was unjustifiable that
the association encourage and try and
‘ersuade capitalists to establish fac-
ivries in the Koorensys in order to fight
ihe combine. Carri
‘he extra tax miners have to pay on
cordwood and timber, after the timber
was delivered, resulted in a decision that
the tax was unreasonable and should be
repealed. Mr. Fraser explained that he
did not know what was expected of him
about the company’s act, but that he
deemed section 99° contrary and unrea-
sonable and asked that a committee be
to investigate and_ report
Those chosen were: Messrs.

the government had not fulfilled its

late government the policy was ‘much
more liberal, and in some instances the

a duty on all machinery. Hethought it

PRESIDENT CROASDALE’S ADDRESS,

President Henry E. Croasdale, of Nel-

substance of which follows:

“There is not a more liberally con-
ducted or more beneficial industry in
the world than that which we represent.
In many, if not most other industries,
the success of one man meaus the loss
to another. Take the great manufact-
uries. ,We hear of a few large firms

lines
of business, and their competitors going
to the wall and failing. In
roading the success of one
way will often mean
another. A successful line
steamboats will sometimes ruin an op-
position line, and in towns we some-
times see how one store has to close
through the greater success of a rival.
With inining we have none of this, the
more successful one man is the more are
his neighbors benefitted ; his success en-
courages more prospecting and Bolps lee im-
migration. Successful mining bri
