terday's annual meeting and the re-
eipient of congratulations for the ex-
cellent work which he had accomplish
ed during his term, James F. Morgan

of the Chamber for the coming year.
Probably the strongest appreciation Of
President Morgan s administration of
the Chamber affairs came from j. P.

after reading the letter, added words
of commendation which swept aside
all Mr.. Morgan IS objections to a Sec

Mr.. Cooke wrote: CT most strongly
advocate Mr.. Morgan s reelection. He
has done more for the Chamber OF
Commerce than any other president
since its organization. He has many
matured plans in progress which will
greatly strengthen the organization. /
know you share my views on this sub
leet''
Mr. Tenney in endorsing Mr.. Cooke IS
opinion said he took the utmost pleas
ure in supporting Mr.. Morgan for the
office, and as an ex-president of the
Chamber, he felt that he could truth
fully say that Mr.. Morgan had been
the most efficient of all presidents and
that he would maintain his record dur
ing the coming year.

presented Mr.. Morgan S name, made a
report recommending the election of

dent; j. P. Cooke, vice president; III. P.

g 1t will be noted,'' said the COM
mittee report, sthat your committee
has recommended the reelection of the
old board of officers and many of the
trustees who have served for the past
year. While it may generally be good
policy to annuallys make change in
the personnel of the board of man
agement- of an institution of this kind,
your committee is of the opinion that
it would be no easy task to improve
upon many of the gentlemen who have
so ably conducted the affairs of this
Chamber for the past twelve months.
More especially do we allude to the
good work of our worthy president,
whose untiring efforts in behalf of this
organization have awakened a new in
terest in it's affairs, have already been
productive of splendid results, not to
speak of the many matters of vital
importance to the business community
of this Territory that have been un-
dertaken by him and in our opinion
should be left with him to" complete,
and as slight tribute to the able and
efficient manner in which Mr.. Morgan
and his colleagues have served this
Chamber in the past year your COM
mittee further recommends that his
and their reelection be made unani-
