At a special meeting this afternoon

eve, the wool growers of Albany
county, assembled at a meeting held
January 4, 1908, do resolve that we
heartily appreciate the efforts of Sen

fore the Manufacturers association re-
Gently held in Philadelphia; that a

COMMITTEE NAMED To
START A NEW CLUB.

At the meeting on Thursday of the
Laramie Literary club, the subject dis
cussed was, Social Clubs of Laramie"
and the idea appeared to prevail
among the club members that, in
spite Of the large number of organiza-
tons of u social or secret order in the
community, there is still room for a
citizens" or business mems" club
which would draw members from all
parties, all cliques and all other clubs,
serving as a common point of meeting
for all classes Of men and to a mem
bership in which no political or de
nomination bias could be attached. 1t
was stated that the need Is greatly
felt for just such an institution, which
might combine such Y. M. C. A.. feat
ures as a gymnasium, pool tables and
baths and serve as a neutral ground.
The idea took such a hold upon the
members that a committee consisting
of Messrs. Corthell and e, N. Rogers
was appointed to suggest plans for the
starting of such a project.
