BOARD OF GOVERNORS
Lots of Business at Yesterdays Regu-
 lar Monthly Meeting.

The board of governors of the Wat CT Users association held it's regular monthly meeting yesterday. It was rather an important session. though nothing of 2 sensational nature was under consideration. IL was strictly a business meeting with lots of business to do but it was largely of a routine nature. The usual monthly bills were audited and warrants ordered and sev- eral committees were appointed and resolutions passed concerning minor matters. There were two committees appointed, though, of special import ance. One was composed of Dr. Will bur, Dr. Chandler and Captain Christy, and is called a committee on legisla- ton. Its work is to look after any legislation that may be before the ter ritoriaI law makers or that may come up during the remainder of the ses- sion, in which the interests of the as- sociatiOn may in any way be affected.
 The other committee referred to Is in respect of the delinquent members of the association; those who have signed their lands to it but who have failed to pay their initial assessment of ten cents per acre. This commit tee is composed of Dr. Chandler, Capt. Christy and Henry Jennings. It is in- structed to make careful inquiry into the situation and report at the next meeting recommending the proper ac- tion to take in respect of these mem bers and the lands they represent.
 The board also selected the officers of the election boards for the annual spring election to be held in April. At this election there will be chosen one councilman in each district and there will also be filled one vacancy that occurred during the year through the failure of the man elected to qualify There will also be a member of the board of governors elected in each dis trict. There will be no election for president and vice president this year, as they were elected last April for two years. In due time there will be pub lished the names of the officers chosen for these election boards.
 The meeting yesterday was entirely harmonious and the feeling of the board was entirely optimistic. The members are all well pleased with the result of

for years. The White Ribboners did not fail to recognize her as an avail able leader very soon after she came to the coast. At Pasadena she was made president of one of the largest unions in the state. Upon her removal to Los Angeles she was elected to preside over the federation of unions embracing seventeen organizations. with a total membership of not less than twelve hundred women, and this position she holds at the present time. For five years she was county vice president of the w. c. T. U of Los Angeles coun- ty and materially assisted in making that county the banner w. C. T. U. county in the United States. For sew eral years Mrs. Griffith was superin- tendent of gospel temperance meetings under the Volunteers of America. She is national lecturer for the department of soldiers and sailors. She is now state superintendent of the department of anti-gambling, and is also county superintendent of Purity and Mothers meetings. It is not an unusual thing for this courageous and gifted woman to urge her cause before the city coun- cil, or the mayor and police commis- sion and she always gains a respect full hearing. At Seattle. Wash, where she lived for a short time. she en- gagged in mission work. At Salt Lake City she induced the w. c. T. U. of that city to open a mission which she conducted most successfully while she remained. There she also became in- terested in work among soldiers and organized a mission at Fort Douglas. In connection with this work a recep- tion was given at her home once a month to the soldiers, the invitations being "whosoever will may come" This kind of work she keeps up at the soldiers home at Sawtelle. Calif., near Los Angeles, going there once a week to hold a meeting with the old veterans. She is never tiresome and always receives an invitation to return.
