Mr.. Scribner of Pueblo took the same
View and declared that 1t was exactly

I'VE already have done a great deal
in the way of advertising and boosting
for the valley" declared Mr.. Benedict

Is but one way We can handle our prop

appropriations from our country COM
missioners. We have four counties
represented in this association. The
money that we spend will return ten

country. What We have got to do Is
to go before our respective boards and
ask for 5000 from each one every year.
That will assure the firm financial
footing OF the organization and place
us in such a position that We can
tackle any proposition that comes
along"

that the secretary should look into the
subject and present n report at the
next regular meeting with an outline OF
plans for the securing and handling of
