Kirkpatrick, as well as others, played a prominent part in establishing the body. The board had its inception on November 17. 1908, six months before the townsite was sold, when a meeting of citizens was held in the Christiansen-Brandt Hall on old Centre Street "to discuss the advisability of organising a Board of Trade." Fred Stork took the chair at this meeting on motion of J. A. Kirkoatrick and M. M. Stephens, and M. M. Stephens over1 G. W. A-nott by a vote of 29 to 9. The council was chosen as follows : Council J.

At present we have a condition which is unique. Britain led the way in the deelopment of parliamentary Constitutional government. The rest of the world followed. Today again she is leading the way and it is possible that In time the whole English speaking world may become part of a great commonwealth in which each part ig dependent, but in which each allows priilegea to the other which make for greater world freedom.

In this ronnec- gomg to be good, the company will not want the plant. It will be better for it to stay away. There are today some outstanding bonds against trie plant which have been sold and will not mature for something like twenty years. They are in the nature of a mortgage against the property, but will be paid in due course if the city is still here. It seems to us that if the company has faith in the future of the city, which its action in making the purchase would indicate, it should have faith enough to be willing to buy without the holdback. We all have city bonds outstanding against our property and expect to have for many a year to come. THINKING IMPERIALLY l There is a general movement today toward consolidation of the British Empire. Britain and tjjp Dominions were recently faced with a tendency to- disintegrate. South Africa was openly hostile, there was a movement toward the United States in Canada, and in other Dominions there was dissatisfaction. Today that seems to be passing. The trouble in South Africa has been to a large extent overcome, the Canadian tendency has been checked and all the Dominions today seem to be realizing that their lot lies in bem? part of a powerful British Commonwealth, known Hp generally as the British Empire. The mo important phase in this development has been the realisation of the true condition by Great Britain. The "Little Englander" no longer exists. The men who at one time talked of the "colonies" as "belonging to us" have dis-Kiicared and today everywhere the people are coming to VsVplTilkce the immense possibilities of a world power in which tion, a committee consisting of , H.
