Public Welfare-W. E. Patrie, G..
F. Hilliard and w. III. Scott.
Ways and Means Fred Murphy,
H. B. Curtis and e. w. Rowles.
w. III. Stufflebeam suggested that
the secretary be instructed to COM
municate with clubs at other towns
up the valley to see if arrangements
could be made to participate in the
publication and distribution of litera-
ture advertising the Upper Snake
River valley at the Seattle-Yukon-
Pacific exposition, which was ap-
proved.
Dg, Patrie spoke on the need of a
good roads movement, and was fol-
lowed by several others with good
suggestions along that line, and it
was the sense OF the meeting that
the committee on wagon roads and
railways would have much to do
looking to better wagon roads in this
locality.
e. L. Peck, a member of the COM
mittee appointed to furnish the club
rooms, opened discussion as to just
what class Of furniture to put in, and
was followed by F. T. Garvin, F. b.
DeKay Harold Parkinson, e. M.
Kennedy, Marcus Mester, l.. r.
Thomas, H. b. Curtis and others. 1t
was generally conceded that what is
purchased should be good durable
and designated to promote comfort
and that when the club could afford
more, it would add to the supply. A
pool table and billiard table and a
couple of card tables were favored
by most of the speakers and the idea
of making the club rooms place for
social advancement as well as busl-
ness, seemed favored by the ma
jority.
L. r. Aldrich advanced the idea
that the committee on advertising
and promotion would need to push
their work as much as possible, as
the season is on when that should be
in effect.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again at the club rooms on nex'
Wednesday evening, March 18th.
