Board of Trade Reoroanlze..

The meeting in Pierre to reorganize
the board Of trade, was a largely at
tended one, and a spirit of enthusiasm
was manifested which means a gen.
eral getting together for progress.
The question of a name for the new
organization was discussed, but it was
decided that the Pierre Board Of
Trade" had made a name for itself in
past years when emergencies had to
be met by the city and that name
would carry with it a prestige of sue
cess in itself, and the old name was re-
tanned. In the reorganization every
party and faction is represented, and
all show an intent to get together and
push for Pierre with the old-time
spirit.
