small cost, it would be better at pres
EFT to provide comparatively small
fund to be used in advertising the adj
vantages of the l. & G.. N. country in

was decided upon, and the plan will be
carried out Immediately. 1t was also
decided that replies TO these adver-

having kindly consented to aid them
ID this manner.
Palestine was made the per manent
headquarters of the association. All
annual meetings will be held here,
though quarterly or called meetings
may be held at other points. The Feb
rnarv meeting, the second annual
meeting of the association, will be held
at Palestine, and will be the largest
and most important meeting of the
organization ever held. Arrange
ments were made to receive and en-
tnrtain the Missouri Pacific Immigra-
ton Bureau, which will hold its next
meeting at San Antonio. In fact the
San Antonio meeting will be a joint
meeting of the two associations, and

the cream of the enterprising, push

element throughout the great west

doubt, be the most important indus

1T WAS A VERY
LIVELY MEETING
Immigration and Industrial Asso-
citation Meeting Was Lively
From Start to Finish.

There was rousiDg meeting of the
Immigration and Industrial Associa-
ton of the international and Great
Northern country at the city hall yes
terday, with President F. w. Colby in
the chair and R. r. Claridge acting as
secretary in the absence of the secre.
tary, o. Roe Hall. The meeting was a
lively one from start to finish, the dis
cussion at times taking on somewhat
strenuous tone, but the cross firing
was good humored, and when party
to the controversy got "laid out" he
subsidized with good natured complac-
ency. Withal, there was considerable
fun mixed up with the proceedings,
but through it all an evident deter
mination to do something at this meet
ing which shall have bearing upon the
movement of home seekers to the 1.
g. G. n. country this winter.
Ways and means to advertise the
grand territory embraced by the L. &
G. n. country furnished occasion for
most of the discussion, which was
quite interesting as well as instructive.
There seemed strong sentiment in
favor of a large issue of publication
covering, in a general way, the re-
sources and advantages of the /. & G..
n. country, while few favored the
idea of a fund to be expended in
northern and eastern newspapers.
Finally the matter was referred to a
joint committee of three, to be ap-
pointed by the chair, acting in con-
nection with the executive committee,
to devise a plan of advertising the /.
& G. N. country, with power to act in.
carrying out the plan. The chair APP
pointed r. F. Pool of Cameron, Henry
Edwards of Troupe and r. r. Claridge
of Palestine as this special committee,
with instructions to get action as soon
as possible. Yesterday evening a
joint conference of the two committees
was held at the Faulkner hotel, at
which it was agreed that for results

ton above referred to, involving the
