The Commercial Club

The exhibit of the products Of
the valley was the principal subject
for discussion at the Commercial
club meeting Tuesday evening. 1t
was voted to have an exhibit in the
Commercial club room and also to
continue the exhibit at Spokane in
the Chamber of Commerce building
For the local exhibit committee M
P. Fuller, James Crowell and G. E.
Hanson were appointed by Vice
PRECEDENT Rose who presided. Presi-
dent Geo, F. Richardson being out
of town.
This committee held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and have al
ready ordered the jars for the fruit
and are planning to get peaches,
grapes and pears for the exhibit
now that they are ripe. The com
mittee asks that any one who has
fruit suitable for exhibition, corn in
the stalk, or cereals, a large pun
pkin or squash or vegetable of extra
quality and size or any other pro-.
duct that will give the visitor an
idea af what the land will produce,
to bring it in. The committee will
see that it is suitably prepared and
attractively display ed in the ex-
hibit. Many advantages to the.
people of having the collection where
it will give definite idea to the in
tending settler of what can be raised
mere to advantage, were pointed
out in the discussion.
The old committee, composed of
Jas. A Rose, r. A. Peters and
Scott Henderson who conducted the
strawberry contest, were continued
and authorized to offer premiums
for the best specimens of other
kinds of fruits. This committee
will in the near future make an
nouncement of these prizes and the
class of fruit on which they will be
awarded. 1t is hoped that lively
interest will be taken in both these
exhibits, the local one and the one
in Spokane. Certainly past expert
ence shows this to be one of the
very best methods of advertising
the products of the volley.
The committee having in charge
the work of securing the road to the
proposed North Bank depot was au
thorized to continue the work on
both the extensions of Third street
and also Fifth street.

Are Filing PIats

The Kennewick Northern" is
the name selected by Jim Hill for
the road which he is going to build
from Wenatchee down the CO.
lumbia to Kennewick to connect
with the Spokane, Seattle and Port
land, more Familiarity known as the
North Bank, according to the plat
recently filed by the engineers of the
Great Northern, at Olympia.
Actual construction will begin
from Wanatch ee down to Priest
Rapids in very few days, for the
company has purchaled a car load
of horses and the Steamer Yakima
which they will use for the trans
portaton of stock and material
from Wanatchee to the camps,
which will be scattered along the
routs at different points most con-
venient for the progress of the work.
1t is understood that the heav-
lest part CT the line will be north of
the rapids, wherefore work in that
neighborhood work will be rushed
as far as possible this season and a
large force Of men will be put to
work as soon as the arrangements
for the various camps are completed.
One of the engineers for the roa'l
was in the city today making ar
rangements for the filing of the
plats showing the routes, a proceed
ing which is obligatory on the part
of any railroad intending to build.

STATE OFFICER
VISITS 0TTUMWA
SECRETARY OF FEDERATION OF
LABOR LOOKING AFTER BUS
MESS HERE.
ANNUAL
TOUR
Working on the Directory of Labor
Organizations Of the State-con-
vention to be at Gin.
ton June 9.

J. H. Strict of Sioux City, the sec
rotary of the State Federation of La
Dor, was a visitor in the city yester-
day, leaving here this morning While
here he was interviewed relative to
the condition of labor matters in the
state, and gives his impression of the
situation in an optimistic vein, saying
that the outlook is becoming more
promising.
The Iowa State Federation of Labor,
which is state branch of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, now has
membership of about 10000. 1t is To-
cally represented by trades and labor
assemblies or central labor unions in
GLIDING all the different branches of
organized labor, with the exception of
some of the organizations of railroad
men.
Mr.. Strief's annual tour of the state
is for the purpose of compiling the
declarations directory of labor organ
izations and thei rsecretaries. He will
also make personal inquiry and obser-
walton into the conditions of organic
ed labor in the different parts Of the
state which he visits, the number of
employed and unemployed men and
the future outlook for labor.
AS secretary Of the federation, Mr..
Strict, in fact, constantly keeps in
touch with these conditions, SO far as
possible. through reports from secre-
taries OF labor organizations in various
parts of the state. "The building and
iron trades were most severely affect
ed by the financial disturbances of
the past year." he said yesterday
These trades are picking UP, but
they have not yet reached normal con-
ditions. The outlook, however, is for
steady improvement. Winter is al
ways, of course, slack time for
builders, and there is the ordinary
improvement which always comes
with spring; but, in addition to that,
the situation is improving, and by an
other month I expect it to be a great
deal better than it is now"
The federation holds it's sixteenth
annual convention this year at Clin-
ton on June 8, at which time the many
matters to come UP for discussion"
says Mr.. Strict, will be the questions
of child labor and convict contract
system. Both Of these questions are
known to the labor organizations as
matters for adjustment and will prob.
ably be taken up and discussed at the
state meeting"
The local labor organizations will
be represented in large numbers at
the coming state meeting. With a
great number of trades and labor So
cieties in this city. representation
of about thirty-five are entitled to be
present as delegates to the conven-
ton. The exact number ow those to at
tend has not been definitely settled
upon yet, as some of the organizations
have not made their selection.
