Then, as now, the Board of Trade did excellent work for the town, inaugurating many good plans and helping on all moveâ€" ments for the advantage of the town. Then, as now, the Board of Trade did not get full eredit for all it accomâ€" plished, and then, as now, there was not the interest evidenced in the meetâ€" ings that there should have been. Ten years ago there were meetings of the Board of Trade where the attendance would reach only to the half dozgen mark. Such a meeting is deserubed by The Advance:â€" ‘‘There was no formal meeting of the Board of Trade on Thursday evening. Only about a half dozen business men and others ecathered in the Old Empire theatre, and as there was nothing of a very pressing nature to be dealt with, the ameeting was not formally called to order by President King. Those present had a very interesting (but not particularly inspiring) disâ€" cussion awbout the weather and the farmingy possibilities of the North Land. Dr. Melnnis and one or two others very enthusiastically upheld the fuure of all parts of the North Land for everything. President King thought that mining would be the one great industry of this part of the country, and Mr. M. Boivin pinned his hopes to the lumber industry, espeâ€" cially the pulpwood part. He thought the Government should carry pulpâ€" wood free on the railways for the setâ€" tlers so as to put the settlers here and in the farther North more on a par with those nearer North Bay.
