The annual meeting OF the Cald-
we'll Commercial Club was held in
the chambers Thursday evening B.
NJ. Hot presided and Secretary II.
S. Kneedler acted as secretary of the
meeting, This meeting was for the
purpose of electing a president and
vice-president for the ensuing year
and four directors for a term Of two
years Everything. went off harno-
niously in, the election of these
GERS. Mr.. Fred Richardson placed
Mr.. w. H. Redway in nomination for
president Mr. Roadway was elected
unanimously and made a short but
interesting address in response to the
demands of the club. Later in tho
evening he distributed the cigars,
which action met with the hearty APP
proval of the smokers. Mr.. F. G,
Burroughs placed in nomination Mr..
H. B. Aven for vice-president Mr.
Aven was unanimously elected. Not
having yet arrived, Mr.. Aven had no
opportunity of making speech. The
| following directors were unanimously
elected fro two years c. S. Doan, Fred
Hartenbower, F. A. Clark and John
L. Davis.
Suppressed interest was manifest
and considerable discussion arose over
the election of a secretary. The
constitution and bylaws provide that
the. secretary. shall be elected at the
time of election of the other officers.
However, the club had made arrange
ments with Mr.. Kneedler to serve I'M
til April. 1911, and President Hot was
place at this time. He did not ex-
plain his antipathy to the election of a
secretary but managed to have the
election postponed. Messrs. H. D.
Andrews and F. G. Burroughs were
the avowed candidates and friends of
both gentlemen seemed ready for a
vote There are rumors of dark
horse to be sprung at later date.
Rumor says that the dark horse is Mr.
| Mckinley. formerly of the Gem State
Rural, and now secretary of the Up
per Washington Development Co., of
which Mr. Holt is president We
give these as rumors and as rumors
only. We had not heard of Mr. Nc
Kinley in this connection until Thurs
day evening.
| Secretary kneedler made an annual
report of the work undertaken and
carried out during the past year
On motion the report was approved
and ordered placed on file The Tri-
bune in its next issue will analyze the
report and the work done by Secre-
tary Kneedler since he took office In
passing. we can truthfu,ly say that
Mr., Kneedlcr has done a great deal OF
work, the benefit of which Caldwell
will continue to reap for years &c
come. President Holt called atten-
ton to this after Mr.. Kncedler had
presented his report.
On motion of Mr. c. S Doan a vote
of thanks was given President Holt
and Secretary Kneedler upon the
ability, fidelity and energy witt
which they have handled the work o.
the club during the year past These
thanks were extended amid hearty ant
enthusiastic applause
Before adjourning, Mr. Avcn callct
attention to the matter of the Parcel,
Post bill now pending in congress
The club passed resolution in oppo
sition to the proposed law,

had anticipated making a com
plete report of the work carried on b,
the club at the expiration of my tern
of office, March 1st, but have prepared
q financial statement covering the re
ceipts and expenditures OF the club 70
the year ending January list. 1911
which herewith submit. In my Judge
ment, 1t shows very satisfactory con
dition. The club has approximate,
fifty more members than 1t had on
year ago. 1t has no debts and shoul
be in a position to expand its worl
during the ensuing year, increase 1t
membership, and add department
which will enhance the efficacy of tn
club as a social organization.
It will perhaps be proper for me L
say at this time that your secretar
will not be a candidate for reelection
SO that the club will feel no embarass
ment In considering the election OF
successor, whenever, In It's discreitol

saving this, I do not want to be in an
