At the meeting of the Commercial
association held last evening the
movement for a revival of the asso-

auspices that indicate splendid sue

were made by President Alexander, c.
E. Roosevelt, T. c. Taylor, DR.. NJ. s.
Kern. Judge George A. Hartman, J.
p. Winter, City Attorney ]. R. Raley,
Jack Huston and E B. Aldrich. All
were united in the sentiment that
Pendleton is upon the eve of a period
of development and all wished to see
the association improved.
In the discussions no criticism what
ever was made of the present admin
istration, but on the other hand, r.
Alexander, president of the assocla-
ton, was praised for the work he has
done and the interest he has aroused.
II was the general sentiment that the
difficulty with the association comes
from the general apathy of its men,
bers due largely TO the poorly furnish
ed quarters of the association.

President Alexander suggested that a
committee of three be appointed to in
vestigate matters and submit a plan
for the rejuvenation of the associa-
uon He named DR.. NJ. s. Kern, E. B.

committee. But the members of the
committee asked that the committee
be strengthened by the addition Of
two older members. Thereupon the
chair appointed T. c. Taylor and
Judge S. A. Lowell to serve upon the
committee.
Following the adjournment of the
meeting the committee held an infor-
nal session and discussed the subject
of remodelling the rooms. The COM
mittee will meet again shortly and an
architect will be engaged to draw
plans. The sentiment is all in favor
OF remaining in the present building
providing the rooms can be properly
'emodelled and a suitable entrance
secured.

'!lman A. L. Knight brought up the
subject of removing the library to the

knowledge of the contents of liquors
seized in a raid on Morton's place. As

to make a definite answer as TO the
alcoholic content.
