FROM cHAIRMEN OF COMMIT
TEES AND OTHERS.

The annual meeting Of the board of
directors of the Y. w. c. A. took place
at 10 o'clock this morning in the as
ISOLATION rooms and there was a good
deal Of interest in the meeting.
After the reading of the December

year was discussed and completed, a
vote of thanks was extended by the
board to the committee chairmen and
members of the different committees
for their splendid cooperation and
hard work
The board feels that the phenomenal
success of the association in 1910 was
largely due to the efforts of these com>
mittees and the chairnen of them.
Those members of the board whose
terms expired then retired and the
new members who had been elected at
the annual meeting held Jan. 10 were
duly installed.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President-Mrs f. J. Campbell.
First Vice President-Mrs. Robert
McCulloch.
Second Vice President-Mrs. C. N.
Callander.
Recording and Corresponding Secre-
tary-Mrs. A. G. Hanson.
Treasurer-Mrs. G. J. Allen.
The affairs of the association could
scarcely be better. Everything is
working smoothly and the prospects
for the year 1911 are unusually bright.
In fact, the officers are all pleased with
the outlook.

BECKWITH is PROMOTED
Was Made Vice President as Well az
Treasurer of the Northern
Trust Co.

AT the recent election of the di-
rectors of the Northern Trust Co.,
there were one or two changes in the
list of officers and among them was
the promotion of H. p. Beckwith, who
is and was the treasurer of the COM
pany. Mr.. Beckwith was promoted
to be one of the vice presidents, and
still retains his former office.

of the greatly increased business of

sistent with his work at all times and
his promotion is a deserving conpli-
ment to his untiring efforts for the
company. The following is a complete

RAILWAY CLERKS
have TO LEAVE
RAILWAY CLERKS WILL BE DE.
PRIVED OF DoRMlToRY PRIV.
LEGES IN THE FEDERAL BUILD
ING = TWENTY-FIVE CLERKS
AFFECTED BY THE ORDER.

Postmaster Plumley has received an
order from the department at Wash
ington which will make the local rail-
way mail clerks lose their dormitory
privileges in the Fargo federal build
ing, March /. There will be about
twenty-five clerks affected by the
order.
For two and one half years the rail-
way mail clerks have been allowed the
use of the dormitory on the fourth
floor of the local postohice building.
Rates have been given to them most
reasonably and they have always had
a convenient place to remain over
night, when running into Fargo, with
all the privileges of steam heat,
bath, etc.
The order just issued is in accord
with the policy of the postoffice de-
partment, which is not to have any
dormitories in any of the new public
buildings now being erected The fed
eral authorities are also discontinuing
the dormitory plan in the old buildings,
The railway mail clerks who have
been running into Fargo will organize
themselves into an association and
rent rooms on the wholesale plan. This
system will afford the same privileges
that they have been enjoying and ii
will establish an arrangement which
should prove most convenient to the
transients. who spend a very few
nights out of week or month, in
Fargo.
