Board OF Trade, in the basement OF the
Courthouse, last evening, Judge Porter
presided and several matters OF great
Importance were considered and placed
in the charge of committees with

John F. Convey was appointed to

In the matter of harbor improve.
ment, Jno. F. Convey, A. A. Phillips
and A. II. Chambers were appointed
committee to confer with the States
Representatives in Congress, and to
present the facts and statistics which
show the imperative necessity for an
additional appropriation to complete
the work OF dredging practical chan
mel.
With regard to the creamery propo
sition, Mr.. Chambers was authorized
to answer the questions asked by the
party at Tacoma. The main consid
Grafton for this enterprise is the ability
of the farmers in this vicinity to fur
nish a sufficient quantity of milk, and
fortunately the Boards representative
is prepared to show that this require
ment can be amply met.
The proposition for locating a
shingle mill here, involving only a
site, was referred to Judge Porter, fol
inquiry az to the nature and size oil
the grounds required.
A resolution was adopted asking the
States Congressional representative:
to Introduce and support law to de.
clare the Pacific Forest Reserve a Ma
tional Park, and to provide for care
and preservation of same.
After the regular business DR.. Newell
was called upon for remarks, and in a
brief speech aroused considerable en-
thusiasm. He is a close observer, and
his opportunities have been large for
forming a true estimate of the wonder
full resources of our State. He took
the necessarily crude and imperfect
exhibit of our people at the Worlds
Fair, as an illustration of our re-
sources, and it had challenged the adj
miration of many millions OF people
he predicted as logical sequence con-
ception OF our resources that will turn
the eyes of the world upon us, soon as
the financial panic is over. He adj
vised the board to keep up courage
and steadily at work. The best OF re-
suits will attend their endeavors. DR.,
Newelrs remarks met with hearty ap.
plause and after general discussion
of the benefits of reorganization, the
Board adjourned.
