The regular monthly meeting of
the Stevens County Federation of
Commercial Clubs was held at SPRING
dale August Is, and was called to Or
der by President Parks
DR.. d. H. Lewis, on behalf of the
Springdale club and citizens of the
town, in short, witty talk, welcomed
the visiting delegates to Springdale,
and was answered in appropriate re-
marks by President Parks.
Roll was called, and the clubs re-

Communications from F. w. Gra-
ham were read requesting the Coop
Grafton of the federation in gathering
exhibits to be placed in the Great
Northern exhibition car, which is be-
ing prepared for an advertising tour
throughout the east and southeast,
also wanting exhibits from Stevens
county for the Northwestern Land
Products Show which will be held un-
der the auspices of the Northwestern
Development League in st. Paul. De-
cember 12 to 23, inclusive.
Mr.. Atwood advertising represent
ative of the Great Northern, addressed
the club with an interesting talk
along the lines of what the Great
Northern is doing for the northwest
in an advertising way, and explained
in detail how such campaigns were
carried on. His remarks were
highly appreciated. and no doubt will
prove an incentive to our producers
to show eastern people, through the
Great Northern advertising car ex-
hibitions that Stevens county, Wash
ington, is in the very front rank with
its farm productions as well as with
it's other many resources
This exhibition car will be taken to
all the large cities of the east and
southeast and will also be sent with
lecturers to every available county
fair held in the territory through
which the car is taken. The vast
amount of good that our exhibit will
do for Stevens county through this
medium cannot be estimated, and our
people should get to work immediate
ly and prepare show that will make
the eastern farmer sit up and take no.
tice
In devising ways and means of get
ting exhibits together it was decided
to appoint one man from each district
to take full charge of the matter, and
that the exhibits should be gathered
in time for the Spokane Interstate
Fair and returned for the Stevens
County Fair, and the best then to be
placed in the Great Northern adver-
tising car. This idea met with ap-
proval, and the following were named

tive districts: Valley, J. Kulzer;
Springdale, j. C. Cline; Marcus, C. w.
Barringer; Chewelah, T. Albert; Col
Vile, G. B. Ide; Bossburg, P. M. Isen-
see. Appointments for districts not

Mr.. Eakles, Our very worthy fruit
inspector, volunteered the services of

he said but one-third was in sight and
