Employ SaIaried Sec'y.

The Delta Business Men S Association
has taken the bull by the horns and de-
cided to do business on business basis.
At the regular semi-monthly meeting,
at the court house Monday evening, the
Association instructed its board of di-
rectors to employ salaried secretary,
said official to devote his entire time to
the business of the Association, which
is to build up Delta and its contiguous
territory. 1t is the plan to keep the
secretary occupied in carrying on cor
respondence with capitalists relative to
the erection of beet sugar factory, a
canning factory, evaporating plant and
any other industries which can be profit
ably conducted. 1t will also be the
business of the secretary to assist the
packing company in interesting prac-
tical packer in taking hold of the well
equipped plant already established in
Delta. The secretary will send out
literature to people in the east and can,
if he will. be tremendously busy
man. The reason for employing man
to give his entire time to the work is
to keep the work going when the aver
age business man turns his attention to
his own business.
Mr.. John J. Travis has been sccre-
tary of the Association and has made a
most excellent official, but he could not
give up larger part of his time "for
the good of the cause" than he has
be en- doing. and in fact it was an impo-
sition to ask him to give as much.
At meeting of the board of direc
tors, held on Tuesday evening. Percival
E. Coombe was elected to the secre-
taryship. Mr.. Coombe has been a res
ident of Delta for many years. He
knows the country like book and be-
He has already assumed his duties and
is working hard in giving proper atten-
ton to quantity of accumulated busi-
ness.
The Association will rent a room in
which the secretary will have his office
and where regular meetings will be
held. A display of products will be kept
at these headquarters so that the
stranger can be introduced to the pro-
ductiveness of the country Immediately
upon his arrival. 1t is also the plan to
ultimately use these headquarters as
public comfort station. such as was ad-
vocated in splendid letter to the IN
DEPENDENT in a recent issue.
This in substance is the arrangement
as outlined by the Association and its
board of directors. There is great
work to do in promoting the interests
of the community. 1t is work that
should be attended to and not neglect
ed, but which necessarily is neglected
if left to the tender mercies of those
who have more private affairs to attend
to than they can get done.
In order to raise funds to meet the
increased expense, membership dues
have been raised to sl.OO per month.
The Association should be able to &C.
complish great work this year.
