BOOKS ARE AUDITED
Farmers' Mutual Found to Be
in Excellent Condition.
NEW DIRECTORS ELECTED
Secretary Not Voting, Says Com
mittee Report, and Accounts Are
Tangled, but He Has 3Iade
Generally Good Showing.
The stockholders of the Farmers Mu
tual Fire Relief Association of Portland
yesterday adopted the report of a commit
tee appointed to audit the books of
the secretary-treasurer, and elected a
new set of directors. At times there was
confusion, but the result seemed ,to meet
i with the approval of the majority. Early
In the day. as some were Inclined to in
dulge In personalities, a motion was made
that any one using personalities should
be escorted outside.
The "directors elected are: H. W. Sna
shall, C. H. Blanchard, Fred Gruner, Au
gust Brugger and A. R. Fanno. Of the
175 votes cast, 79 were proxies, although
not all the proxies brought to the meet
ing were admitted to vote..
Secretary J. J. Kern held 29 proxies,
it was said, but the commitee on creden
tials held that Mr. Kern was not a mem
ber of the association and could not cast
the votes.
Xo One's Integrity Questioned.
The committee apopinted to audit the
books of the secretary submitted a re
port in which It was said:
Including balance carried over from the
previous yaar, it wai found that the re
ceipts of the association from all sources
during trie y?ar 1909 were $6279.85. Of
this sum $1343.02 was derived from as
sessment No. 6. The disbursements for the
same period amounted to $5248.17, leav
ing a balance to the credit of the com
pany at the close of business December 31.
1909. of $1031.48.
It will, therefore, be sten that had not
assessment No. 6 been le led there would
have existed at the end of the year a de
ficiency of $311.64.
During the period of tima from Decem
ber 31, 1909, to the close of business, Feb
ruary 15, 1910, we fin; funds have come
into our possession In the sum of $1327.19,
which added to our balance at the close
of the year,, $1034.43. gives us a total fund
of $358.67. The disbursements during said
period hav been $179.58. leaving on hand
at the present time the sum of $2179.09.
This amount la now in the United States
National Bank to the credit of the asso
ciation. We find no evidence of fraud or graft on
th-a part of the secretary, or any member
of the board of directors, nor do we ques
tion the integrity of any member. We be
lieve we should call the attention of the
govwnlnj board to the necessity of observ
ing closely the requirements of the consti
tution in its procedure.
As to our secretary, we would say that
while he does not possess the qualification
of a young?r man we believe he has at all
times endeavored to advance the Interests
of the association, and that he has labored
diligently to that end. While his accounts
were rather tangled and exceedingly diffi
cult to follow, yet when we consider his
age and other circumstances under which
he has worked we believe he has made a
creditable showing.
As to the board of directors, we believe
they have served the association faithfully
and that the membership has cause to be
grateful to thm for their devotion to the
Interests of the association. In conclusion,
we wish to congratulate the members of
the association on the thrifty condition of
this association and its splendid prospects
for future growth and development.
The report was signed by Charles L.
Hunter, J. J. Krebs and C. H. Blan
chard. Secretary Defends Position.
Secretary Kern charged that the direc
tors had done wrong in Issuing assess
ment No. 6 for last year, contending that
it was not necessary. Director Gruner
retorted that if this assessment had not
been called the association- would have
faced a deficit.
B. L. Barry, secretary of .the Oregon
Merchant Mutual Fire Assurance Asso
ciation, of Dayton, Or., on invitation,
addressed the meeting urging that the
meeting follow the state laws exactly In
the election. Following this address the
legal opinion of Attorney O. Young was
read to the effect that no amendments
.could be made to the constitution at this
meeting, and that the election' of direc
tors was held under the provisions of the
state law. The amendment needed to
make the organization legal will be made ,
n r ffxi tT;
aocording to the state law at a later
date.
The association has nearly 3000 mem
bers and about $2,500,000 In fire insur
ance throughout the state.
Secretary Kern circulated the follow
ing printed ticket for candidates for di
rectors: John Raz, J. J. Krebs, Caleb
Blanchard, Ferd Groner, Peter Roth and
Henry Troege. It was voted that this
ticket could not be considered, although
any of the stockholders could place In
nomination any of the names on it. After
the close of the meeting Secretary Kern
said that he waa not satisfied with the
result, but declined to make any state
ment. - .
The new board of directors will elect
a new president and secretary-treasurer.

Hi
SSSliU
Last Great Metropolis
of North America
Let ua recapitulate a few of the con
ditions in regard to Fort Qporge whi c h
are destined to make it a great city.
Fort George is nearly at the geo
graphical center of British Columbia
it lies actually somewhat to the south
of the center.
Fort George is on the main line of
the Grand Trunk Pacific half way be
tween Edmonton and Prince Rupert.
The situation of Fort George Is such
that it will be the largest city on the
Grand Trunk Pacific between Edmon
ton and Prince Itupert.
Fort George is on the route that will
open up the Peace River country; and
the terminus of the railway for which
a charter has Just been granted at
Ottawa from Edmonton through, the
Pine River Pass.
Fort George is the terminus or on
the line of six other lines of Railway
building or projected.
Fort George commands the river nav
igation of Central British Columbia; it
Is the point where the Nechaco with its
tributaries meets the Fraser. .
Fort George is headquarters ' for
steamboats navigating one thousand
miles of waterways at the present time.
Fort George Is the center and dis
tributing point for Central British Co
lumbia today; and its central geo
graphical location and strategic situa
tion Is such that it will continue to be
the chief commercial place of Central
British Columbia for all time.
Central British Columbia Is -sufficiently
vast in extent to support many
cities. It is larger In area and richer
In resources than Washington and Ore
gon combined.
But there is destined to be one pre
eminent place of commerce and manu.
facture one metropolis and It is in
evitable that this place will be Fort
George.
To Fort George will be tributary all
the natural resources of Central British
Columbia, and all the lesser cities and
towns.
Central British Columbia Is suffi
ciently rich in natural resources to sup
port a population of millions.
That population is already beginning
to sweep into this new "Last Great
West," and before half the destined
population of Central British Columbia
is attained. Fort George will be one of
the largest cities of Canada.
And because this new West is the
last vast and rich undeveloped section
on the continent. Its growth will bo
faster than that of any similar section
la the past.
Within a few years Fort George will
be whore Winnipeg and Vancouver are.
today.
That this is not an empty boast Is
shown by the fact that the develop
ment of the "Inland Empire" of the
United States. which is similar to
Central British Columbia, but smaller
In area and less rich In natural re
sources, has created in Spokane a me
tropolis of one hundred thousand peo
ple. A MIXXEAPOI.IS MAN'S
PKEDICTION.
(Vancouver Province, Nov. 6, 1909.)
The Minneapolis of the Pacific North
west Is the admiring appellation which
Mr. H. A. Jones, the Cordova - street
business man, applied to Fort George,
the busy little Hudson's Bay post at
the junction of the Fraser and Nechaco
Rivers in Central British Columbia. Of
course, it is a Minneapolis In the mak
ing, but in the eyes of Mr. Jones (who.
before taking up his residence In Van
couver, lived in the Minnesota city,
which is the distributing point for the
Dakotas and Minnesota) Forge Georga
In the not very distant future will oc
cupy a similar position to the central
and northern parts of this province that
the Flour City now occupies in its re
lation to the prairie country adjacent
to it.
Mr. Jones has but recently returned
from an extended tour through Cen
tral British Columbia, and to say that
he Is enthusiastic over the future of
Fort George and the neighboring coun
try is putting it mildly. In three weeka
he covered 1400 miles, and he declares
it is a truly wonderful country with a
great future. .
"I firmly believe." said Mr. Jones,
'that Fort George will in time be the
second largest city in British Columbia,
Vancouver only excepted. With such
a country around it and with such easy
means of communication, I do not see
how It can possibly be held back. There
are boundless opportunities there, and
I am only sorry that I am a little too
far advanced in years to make the most
of them."
A SEATTLE MAN'S VIEWS.
(Extract from interview of George
L. Brown, of Seattle, In Vancouver
World. Nov. 15. 1909.)
"Mr. Brown is very enthusiastic
about Interior British Columbia, and
advises every young man, especially
with small means, to go there.
"Mr. Brown stated that he knows,
of his own knowledge, that there will
be a great many people moving In
there next Spring, and that in his opin
ion Fort George and the country sur
rounding, will be settled up much more
rapidly and in much less space of time
than ever before in the history of the.
West.
"Mr. Brown's big Interests are at
Prince Rupert and around Quesnel, but
he does not hesitate to make the un
qualified statement that Fort George
will be a larger place than Prince
Rupert."
