Chamber OF Commerce Re-organized


nesday night was well attended by
Elko's citizens and good start was
made toward letting the world know
that the best town i'll Eastern Neyada
was on the map and it's people were
alive to their interests.
The meeting was called to order by
Edgar Reinhart, Vice President Of the
former Chamber of Commerce, and Sol
Ballin officiated as secretary. After
some discussion it was unanimously
decided to revive the Chamber of Com
merce and Il recess was taken for the
enrolment of new members. After all
who had signed that wished to the
meeting was again called TO order On
motion, w. w. Booher, John Hender-
son and F. S. Gedney were appointed
committee to nominate nine members
of the executive committee to manage
the business of the Chamber. After
short recess, the committee reported the
following names: Edgar Remnant, J.
A. Mcbride, VIM. Willis, George S.
Brown, Frederick Davis, J. Creighton,
Sol Balm, G. S. Tremewan and R. Fl.
Mallett and they were unanimously
elected
This recognized the Chamber and
Mr.. Mcbride and Mr.. Willis, members
of the committee appointed at the
meeting Monday night, made known
the condition existing between Elko and
Jarbidge at the present time and urged
action if we expected to reap any
benefit from the opening of the new
camp.
70 1t developed that county road now
reaches within three miles of Jarbidge
and that IL bridge across the Bruneau
river was n necessity for the accommo
dation of the settlers in that part of
Elko county. Mr.. Trem EVAN, who is
thoroughly familiar with that section,
stated thpt the three miles of road re-
quired to make the camp accessible to
teams from Elko could he easily made
and that the expense would not be
great.
During the discussion Commissioner
Willis was asked if he was in favor of
using the county funds in building this
raod and he replied that he was not i'm
favor of making county roads to boom
any new camp. If Jarbidge proved
ITSELF he said, there would be no trouble
about building the necessary roads. Mr..
Willis remarks were strongly endorsed
by John Henderson and the TNDEPEN-
DENT adds it's unqualified endorsement.
1t was the opinion of those familiar
with the conditions OF that section of
the country that a bridge across the
Bruneau river was badly needed by the
settlers and the commissioners will
doubtless take some action.
The suggestion was made that the
executive committee wire Senators
Newlands and Nixon and Congressman
Bartlett to- have Il mail route establish
ed between Rowland and Jarbidge
This suggestion met with favor and was
acted upon later.
After an excellent speech by Mr.. Gal
vim on tho necessity of ElkO doing
sOmcthingto attract attention to the
mineral resources Of the county and the
steps necessary to bring this about, the
meeting adjourned.
After the adjournment, the executive
committee met and organized by elect
ing Edgar Reinhart, president; J. A.
Mcbride, vice president; Sol BALM,
secretary; and r. II. Mallett, treasurer.
Edgar Reinhart, J. A. Mcbride and r.
H. Mallett were appointed committee
to collect the needed funds.
This forenoon kilograms were sent to
Senators Newlands and Nixon and
Congressman Bartlett urging them to
secure the establishment Of mail
route between Rowland and Jarbidge
and the appointment of e. E. Smith,
