The election of sever directors and
the reading of the reports of Presi-
dent e. j. Lander and Secretary G. w.
Graves occupied the attention of the
members of the Grand Forks Com
mercial club at their annual meeting
last night.
Members of the club who. were wont
TO sit back and wonder if the organi-
cation was really. making any progress
and doing anything fol the .commun-
ity, were last night made to sit up
And take notice." The reports of the
president and secretary were encour-
aging and satisfactory and proved be-
yond the shadow of a doubt that an
active commercial body is one of the
biggest assets a lively northwest city
can possess.
Before the meeting closed there was
not a man present but thai was pat
ting himself on the back because he
was a member of an organization that
is recognized the country over as a
live wire" Every member right then
and there resolved. to make the new
year count for more In the history Of
the club and community than 1t has
ever done in the past. The entire club
got together in a closer relationship
at this annual meeting and promised
itself to pull as one man for the best
little city In this great northwest.
W. w. Fexan, F. L. Goodman, Carl
G. Gowran, \. /. Hunter. Il. j. Lander,
William Spriggs and Leslie Stinson
were chosen as the new directors to
serve on the board for two years.

! SIN an; tnidnstfiaf way our: people are
still 'dnconvinced Of the value Of fac
tories to q community or that there is
opening here for such, but apparently
still cling to the notion that It Is due

cities acquire factories: that this is an
demonstrated. but on the other hand
that it is due to the ability, will, de-
termination, courage ana faith of. the
people that COMPRISE the community,
Where the project of q great inter-
national highway was first presented,
this club Immediately took active
steps to become a faction in making
~ a reality and securing its route
through this state; it has been estab-
Mshed and mapped from Galveston,
Texas to Winnipeg, Canada. and
passes through this city. This appeals
what it may lead to is at present un-
known. but that 1t will when thor
oughly known and established bring
to u city during the season hun
dreds of people yearly. is beyond
question. -.
I'VE have not yet learned to think
In terms Of community interest as
against individual or selfish interest.
1t should be the business of this club
to lead in this respect. I trust that
sufncient interest may be taken in this
matter before another year has passed
to the end, that there may be secured
q small fund sufficient to carry
through a rousing campaign for the
awakening of our people to the need
and value of such plan.
This organization did. not have op
p%ortunity to participate in the organ
ization of the Better Farming associa-
ton OF the state. but as loon as the
plan of the organization became
known, the club inaugurated and car
ried through a movement for its ac-
ceptance by the people Of this county.
With the aid of an aggressive
COMMITTEE, an enthusiastic campaign
for members was made resulting in a
total enrolment of approximately zoe
in all classes; the membership now
standing as follows: Regular men,
bers, $50. non-residents 80, associate,
il45. travelling statesmen and railway
men 104, ministers Is, a total of 673.
IA total of $2.1oo. subscribed by

Excerpts From the President Report

NO H3t1btss dHs TO -as1taatSn OF this
ago a State: Federation Of Commercial
clubs. This action was taken hastily
and without full consideration If the
organization plan. The charge for
membership was based on population
e towns and cities. under which
for a yearly membership. The result
was that few clubs. Joined (six, 1 be-
!teve) and at Its hrst annual meetitg
held in this city, the bylaws in this
n some other respects we're chang
ed. SO that now 1t comprises a really
representative number of the clubs
Of the state.
IA committee was formed during
the year whose duty It is to consider
n pass upon all public solicitations
for charity schemes and special adver-
tisfng propositions. The mere fact
that all such matters are Investigated
hero no doubt excludes altogether
many that. otherwise would. be pre-
sented. nevertheless since the commit
tee was organized but three of a total
of fourteen propositions considered
have received the favorable report of
the committee.
We have long felt the need Of a
medium by which the general mem-
bership of the cub might be kept more
closely in touch with the organizations
activities and are now assured by the
publicity committee that funds for
that purpose will be available the
coming year, SO that q monthly bulle.
tin may be expected soon put in its
appearance.
Grand Forks now has its house we'll
in order and 1t is most timely for us
to tell the world the opportunities
here waiting for men of energy, brain
and capital. Probably in no better
way could a large sum now be spent
than in this direction.
Fire prevention should engage our
attention the coming year. for reduc-
ton in hazard means not only a saving
Of waste and possibly lives, but also
In reduced insurance rates, an annual
tax saving.
"At the close of the eighth year Of
the existence. of this club we find 1t
having the largest membership Of its
history and possessing an increased
measure of the confidence Of the com
munity.
MANY Of the roads leading into the
city have been materially improved.
