CANADA'S FIRST CLUB. | Northwest Trading Company Held Merry Meetings. A wealth of romance and historical | association is clustered around the first Social Club of Canada, for it was founded by the pioneers of the fur trade in 1785 at Montreal, the headquarters of the Northwest Fut Og It was called the Beaver Club. Just' where this club was situated it is hard | to say, although searched for diligent- ly. Many of the writers on the his- tory of the Northwest Fur Co. mention the ctub, but all omit to say where it was. The club was practically the out newly organized Northwest Fur Co., which had been started in 1783, for after the Conquest the fur trade fell into the hands of British subjects, and many | small companies, as well as private enterprises, were formed. This, of course, led to a number of abuses. To remedy {hese several of the prin- cipal merchants of Montreal formed themselves into a joint-stock company under the name of the Northwest Fur Co., and entered the field' against a formidable foe, the Hudson Bay Got which had obtained its charter in {he year 1870 from Ig Charles. The partners of this new company felt the need during the long winter months of having a club where they could meet each other and talk over their experiences in the north, and go the Beaver Club was ina! rated by them. It opened with nineteen mem- | bers, all belonging to the Northwest Fur Co. which had been organized two years previous. The motto of the club was "Fortitude in Difficulties." % There are heavy shi North Shore ports. cre are eleven sawmills and four -working fac-. ories at St. John, di em- ployment to 1,500 men, 'not including thyse who load vessels, or are indirectly geaployed in The pay of the millmen been increased ten per cent.
