1t il therefore proper and part OF
my duty as president of your body for
the past year. to glance back over the
minutes of this club and note what is
now page in the history OF this city.
We find. as one OF the first acts Of
this club during the year In which
have been president, % meeting called
for the purpose Of organizing q bureau
in the interest OF the mining Industry.
steps We're taken by this club aud
through this inception q mining bnre'1
was formed which now can count it's
members In every mining camp in Ger
trail Idaho. The organization Of tins
bureau has been a great incentive n
the upbuilding Of the mining interests
and Is doing great good I'm promoting
legitimate mining enterprises. and is
influence in discouraging fraudulent
and nlegitimate companies makes IT q
great benefit to the possible investor in
the mining industry. It was ~ first
proposed that this bureau be made Il
part Of the Commercial club. but was
finally decided II should be made .
separate body, ana II has since been
proved that this was the wisest course
TO pursue in the organization of the
mining bureau.
One of the next important matters
taken up by the club was to promote
legislation for the establishment Of
supreme court library building In our
city. 1t had long been desired 10 secure
this building, but hitherto all efforts in
that direction had failed Changed po-
litical conditions in the State, however,
seemed to make possible the successful
termination OF our hopes and efforts,
and the matter was taken up with re-
newed energy and determination, and
success was the reward for the labor.
In this connection, however, would
state that there appears of record lit
tie unfinished business in the minutes
OF the club meeting held Feb. nth |
1903. A committee. composed of
Messrs. Babb, /. n. Smith and Geo. H. /
Fletcher, was appointed at that time
to secure the names of all persons who |
had assisted in the passage Of the bill |
providing for the library building. and |
IT was proposed to draft and have |
printed resolution expressing appre-
citation on the part Of the citizens of !
Lewiston and this commercial body for |
such service. and a copy mailed to each |
of such persons. and that such resolu-
ton be spread of record in the minutes
OF the Lewiston Commercial club and |
of the city council
This committee has never reported. /
1t has been so long since this commit
tee was appointed, and no report hav
ing been made II win perhaps not be
out of place for me to mention some [
of those who We're a great help in Sc
curing this building for Lewiston. Our |
own representatives have been com
mended by this body for their work, |
who We're always active ana energetic !
Would also mention the members of the |
Supreme court, and first of them. Just

securing the ldorsement of that body,

have been vain, Speaker OF the House
