Tho smoker held by the Payette
Commercial club on last Friday ey-
snin9 was the most enthusiastic the
club has yet held. The members
sent unanimously adopted reso-
luton In favor OF exhibiting at
.ns county anu state fairs and al
80 heartily approved OF al the east
ern exhibits at the big land shows
and q committee wag ordered appoint
sd to solicit sufficient funds to stand
the expense Of all such exhibits.
At the opening of the meeting
President M. F. Albert stated that
the meeting had been called for the
purpose OF considering several bus
| mess matters and also for the mem
bers of tho club to get better ac-
1uainted and see If enough new men,
5ers could be secured TO run the TO-
al membership TO one hundred due
paying members. The club now has
eighty six members. the president
stated the desire was to run the to-
al number to one hundred II posi-
ble. He spoke of the danger to the
club of the impression that seem
ed to exist in the minds Of some
hat the club was run by three or
our men. All were we,core ard
Yuid be given all the work they
would do on committees or any
where else. In view of the fact that
the meeting had been called to stir
up enthusiasm for the club he would
call for volunteer speakers as TO
why We Needed a Commerc al
Club"
C. z. Bartlett spoke for few
moments on this subject and took
the stand that IL was self eYf-
lent fact that we should have and
did need q commercial club. He
thought the club was needed TO
take charge OF all public affairs and
that at its meetings the members
would get much better acqua nted
and in a measurts lose the self dis
position one was liable TO acquire
when he devoted himself too close
ly to business affairs. The securing
Of such an overwhelming majority
Cor the bridge bonds was due he
thought to the earnest work OF the
members of the club and the fact
that we we're all pulling together
and was q self evident fact OF the
velue and need of the club.
The next subject for which yolun-
teer speakers were called was. TIE
Value OF Boosting" No one respond
ID and President Albert called on
Z. g. Haynes. Mr.. Hay mes stoHe In
Cerestingly for a few minutes anu
asked the permission OF the pres
lent to digress from the subject and
-5ok up the responsibilities OF the |
club. He thought the club should |
weigh carefully all subjects upon |
which il acted and in this way on |
iy could a great many OF the maoer- |
al things OF benefit be secured. He !
aad no censure whatever TO make |
of the manner in which the club /
lad been conducted as he did not be-
aeve that the officials could accom-
plish a great deal without the sup
port OF the members. He called at
tention to several little things and
believed that they should be locke
after. The matter of hitching racks
which had been discussed in the
.lub for three years to his certain
knowledge was one he thought that
needed attention In the win er
time the condition near the racks
was such as should exist in no
city. The mud and filth made 1t
impossible almost to hitch g horse
or team without wading through N.
ALSO there was absolutely no pub
lie drinking fountains in the city
and when the farmers came to Pay
cite to trade they were forced to re-
ly on the good nature OF the store
keepers to get a drink of water. He
houRht that il we would de. oLe our
lime to looking after some Of the
;Iualler improvements that consider
able good would be realized. He
oncluded by saying he was in fav-
or of the commercial club and was
a booster. He never let Payette
IN trip to any point that he did
act come back fully satisfied I at
We had the best little town OF iis
size in the northwest.

FEW words to the club. Mr.. Silver
smith made a very interesting talk
and urged all In Pzyette not mem
oers of the club to Join and assist

hat the effort Of every community

hat the commercial club was u
