The Commercial club elected Off

Mr.. John c. Rice nee president,
Prof. H. 7. French Sc, rotary -treasur-
er and Messrs. J. L kelleher, J. J.

Lyon directors Five direcors hold
over.
The meeting was called to order by
DR.. J. w. Cue, who acted as chair
man in the absence of President w.
H. Roadway and Vice-Presiden H. B.
Aven. Prof. French acted as secre-
tary. The minutes of the last meet
ing were read and approved. From
those minutes We learned that the
Commercial club. assisted by the
Forward Club, will give social dance
and card party on the evening of Fri
day, March LIST, at the X. of P. hall.
AS these minutes stated that numer-
Gus committees had been appointed,
Chairman Cue approximately wanted to
know what they had done. 1t took
some little time to locate the different
committees. Mr.. H. A. Grifiths was
finally located at the south end of the
table. His committee had to do with
distillene burners and burner factor
les. The committee had found the
burner a good one in that heat could
be so produced economically. In re-
gard to the factory, Mr.. Grifiths
stated that the promoters had va
mosed and that there was no need of
a report. He had the memoranda on
his desk and would be glad to fetch
them if the members of the club de-
sired. 1t appearing to the club that
no particular good could be accom-
plished with the memoranda without
the promoters, they were left on the
table in peace. While this report was
in transit Mr.. c. S. Doan located Mr..
J. B. Gowen, chairman of the Warm
Springs ferry road. He reported that
his committee had waited upon the
county commissioners; that the coun-
ty commissioners had waited upon
Mr.. McClusky and that Mr.. McClus-
ky was now waiting on some money.
The commissioners had stated that
they would help construct this road.
1t seems that it will require $1,000 to
build the road. The settlers prom
Used to donate half of this amount in
labor and Caldwell and the county
will raise the other half. On motion
it was ordered that the publicity COM
mittee come through with Caldwelrs
share-of course using its own discre-
ton provided it came down with the
cash. Several gentlemen present. in
Guiding Mr.. Gowen, Mr.. Doan and
Col. E. R. Place, discussed the road,
but all wound up by expressing the
opinion that Mr.. McClusky was a
road builder and a good one, and
man of whom the community is just
ly proud.
Secretary French made his financial
report, which in round numbers was
as follows: Cash on hand last re-
port, together with the dues received
and the cigars sold amounted to ST.
S0507. of which amount $l,7O7.49 has
been spent The bills payable amount
to $l95.85, and the bills receivable
amount to $30l.85. The report was
accepted and ordered placed on file.
The water for the experiment farm
for the coming season came up for
discussion. Mayor Griffiths said that
something should be done. He, with
the help of Gowen and Holt, was in
structed to do it. They were also re-
quested to enter upon an educational
campaign, with the state land board
as the pupils.
The club expressed great confidence
in the Panama-Pacifc exposition to
be held at San Francisco. 1t congrat-
ulated that city and the county of the
same name; California, the United
States of America and the people
thereof, and all foreign nations, peo-
Piles, tribes and tongues, and resolved
! to be there enmasse in 1915.
