Seekers Protective Association. It's
purported purpose is to protect inves-
tigators from what it calls unworthy
propositions. AS matter of fact,
those composing this association are
those whose land schemes cannot be
approved by reputable parties.
Amendment Introduced.
II. l.. WEBSTER introduced an
amendment to the constitution and
bylaws of the club, the effect of
which if carried, at the meeting 80
days from now, will be to make the
collection of dues six months i'll ad-
vance for all members, instead OF s.
a month in advance as at present.
The amendment carried last night
without a dissenting vote but with
not many voting. 1t is probable that
this matter will be threshed out thor
oughly before it is put to final vote
thirty days from now. In the mean
time the amendment in its text will
be posted on the bulletin board for
inspection by all members.
DR.. ". A. Stevenson formally ten
dered the thanks of his church TO the
club for the entertainment provided
during the state synod last fall.
S. T. Packwood, of Entiat, was
called upon by the President for a
speech, and his remarks were con-
fined to urging the club to exert
itself in behalf of legislation which
will protect the fruit grower against
rapacious commission men. He
hoped that Representative Atkinson
at the next session of the legislature
would introduce and work for law
compelling commission men TO rem
der sworn statements Of consign
ments.
\. c. Gaunt stated that such a law
with the additional requirement that
each commission man furnish bond
of $4,000. was passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature and not sim
gle commission man in Seattle has
ever complied with it. He thought
that what we need is not more law
but more law enforcement.

mally that it would be we'll TO amend
the constitution and bylaws making
the election of officers a month
