Board of Trade Acts.

The first melting which the Bisbee
Board of Trade has held in some time
took place yesterday afternoon 1T
O'Clock. at the city hall. Sessions of
the board have given way to politics,
but now that politics has had its day
and times are beginning to pick up.
the beard is laying plans to get busr
again to Boost for Bisbee." and keep
its name and advantages before the
world
While there were not great many
at the meeting yesterday, there was
much enthusiasm over the outlook for
the future of the city, in view of the
new buildings going up, and the inn
provements planned by the city gov
eminent and the members of the
board feel that they have before them
the greatest opportunity to build up
the camp which has ever been pre-
scented to them.
The principal thing done by the
board yesterday was the passing OF a
resolution asking that the Pullman
cars, which stop at Douglas, be haul
to Bisbee. it being argued that most
Of the passengers were bound for Bis
bee. and that most of them originate
here. As the schedule is now arrang
ed, one is forced to get up at $50 or
6 o'clock in the morning, when ap
preaching Douglas, leave the sleeper
and get in day coach for the rest Of
the trip to Bisbee. The secretary of
the Board Of Trade was instructed 10
forward a copy of the resolutions TO
Southwestern headquarters, at El Pa
so, addressed TO the proper authori-
ties.
Ed S. Williams, who has been the
faithful and efficient treasurer of the
organization, since its beginning, yes
terday rendered his resignation, be-
cause his plans are such that he will
be forced to be out of the city much
of the time during the winter ana
spring. Jakob Schmid, one of the
leading business men of the city, was
elected by reclamation as the organ
nations new treasurer.
The matter of proper legislation to
enable tie removal of a county seat,
which is practically impossible under
the present law, was discussed, and
the mater viii be taken up by the
board when the legislature meets.
There were some discussions as to
"hcNuS4 II MOulu Dt duN iSdDlb 10 cut
the county in twain in order to secure
the courthouse here.
Messrs. Brown and Bicknell, both
of whom were expected at meeting
yesterday for a discussion of freight
rates, failed to show up, as Brown haa
been called to Chicago, and Bicknell
to Sonora. They hope to be able TO
be in Bisbee in a week from now, auo
If they can, a meeting of the board
VIVA proSahly then be held to confer
with them '----- ~7'--------
Secretary Reynolds reported on the
finances of the board, which were
found to be in good shape. He also
reported on freight claims filed and
allowed, the showing being a good
one, proving that ne had not been idle
in behalf of the members.
There was considerable discussion
during the meeting on the advisa-
bility of appointing a board of direc-
tors, to attend to matters which hard
ly required the calling of a meeting,
and yet which no one of the members
felt justified in acting upon. The idea
seemed to be favorably received, and
ii is probable that at the next meet
ing the bylaws will be so amended
as to allow of this.
After two APPLICATIONS for member
ship-that of the w. z. Harrison com
pany and VIM. Robinson-had been
acted upon fayOrably, the meeting ad-
journed.
