of an empire will be added to the com

An informal meeting of the Com
mercial club was held last evening at
the parlors of the Bannock hotel, at
which it was definitely decided to build
the bridge. A proposition was pre-
sented by the people of Tilden, through
Mr.. Stowell of that place, seconded Sy
Mr.. Deblee, who has interests in the
Tilden country, and who appeared be-
fore the meeting. They said the peo-
pie of the Tilden country intended to
lay the matter of building the bridge
before the county commissioners of
Bingham county, from which source
they expected some assistance, and that
they were ready and willing to guaran-
tee the cost of one-half of the con-
struction of the bridge if the people of
Pocatello would attend to the other half.
The cost of the bridge is estimated at
sl2. 600.
The meeting last night although got
ten up with little if any previous ar
rangement, was one of the best attended
meetings of business men ever held IN
the city. showing the interest
the business men are at present
manifesting in the Tilden bridge matter.
A.list was Immediately drawn up bind
ing the signers to pay their proportion
of one-half the cost of the bridge, and
the same was signed by nearly every
one present, and committee was
appointed consisting of A. A. Cohn.

the petition and agreement to the bus
mess men of the city who were not pre-
sent last evening, to append their sign

the cost will be distributed so as not to

the bridge will be built as far rs the
business men and people of Pocatello
are concerned.
A committee consisting of r. ].
Hayes, N. S. Pond and w. F. Kasiska
was appointed to lay the matter before
the Bannock county board of commiss-
'oners to get their assistance in the
