If H. w. Dorman, the new presi-
dent of the Commercial club, receives
the backing of the members, the policy
of that organization will be changed
considerable during the ensuing IL
months.
Mr.. Dorman has had exceptional
opportunity to observe conditions OBJ
tanning in Caldwell and vicinity as
well as in many other sections of the
country. A close observer, his years
OF experience along the line of work
which he is called upon the perform in
his new Office give any suggestions
the greater value. Mr.. Dorman laws
especial emphasis upon internal de-
velopment; the upbuilding and de-
velopment of the industries already
here rather than the attraction of new.
He contemplates such additions to our
industries as will give added impetus
to our agricultural and horticultural
business.
Mr.. Dorman has prepared the fol-
lowing letter for the members of the
Caldwell Commercial club:
I'm entering upon the duties of
President of the Caldwell Commercial
club for the year 1918, l desire to ex-
press to the members of the club nv
appreciation of the complimentary
manner of my election. l fully real
ize the power for development and
advancement of a community being
furthered by having a progressive and
active commercial organization and
assure you that l will at all times use
my best efforts to maintain the high
standing of the Caldwell Commercial
club as established by my predeces-
sors and most earnestly ask your sup.
port to help me maintain the high
standard of our organization.
1T is very essential that a COM
mercial club should at all times be in
utmost harmony within itself and with
the community. This is only obtain
able by every member being a strong
advocate for the upbuilding of every
industry located in our territory be it
large or small Never forget that
every dollar sent out of the COM
munity is absolutely taken out of cir
culation in this vicinity thereby re-
moving from you and I any possibility
of ever getting another chance at that
dollar.
81 am going to outline to you THE
campaign l would like the club to
follow for the current year. If it looks
good to you come out to the next re-
gular meeting and say that it does: if
it does not, come without fail and
criticise it. My plan is internal devel-
opment. The publicity fund the past
four years shows total expenditure
of $18,5m an average of A,625 per
year. This has been expended largely
in advertising and interesting pros
pective settlers in this section. It or
some other cause has resulted most
favorably as the populace of Our i'm
mediate vicinity has increased several
hundred per cent during that period.
Since getting this large immigration
let us turn this publicity fund and our
united efforts to develop and make
successful the industries that have
come to us. Let us help the agricul-
turist, the horticulturist. the poultry
man. the dairyman and the live stock
grower by finding market for their
products and by improving our roads
so that the products can be moved
from the farms to our city much more
economically than under the present
conditions. We should investigate the
seed growing industry; determine
what seeds can be proftably grown
here in addition to clover and alfalfa
which have proven great producers.
l am satisfied that our climate and
soil will grow many varieties of seeds
superior to any other state in the
union.
Encourage the raising of higher
grade cattle, both beef and mich types
The hog industry is growing rapidly,
make an effort to establish market
in our city for fat hogs.
1.-THE by-products OF the fruit raising
industry should be manufactured in
Caldwell. Last year thousands OF
dollars could have been saved to this
immediate vicinity had we had S.
500 plant for the making of cider
vinegar, apple butter and ieilies. Later
on as conditions would warrant tine
canning and evaporation of fruits and
vegetables could be AIDED to the plant
From the very best authority OBJ.
tainable the dairy possibilities in thi:
vicinity excel all other states. Thi.
club should investigate this particular
industry at once and should make I
special effort to assist the dairymar
to market his product at its real mar
ket value.
"We also have a state proposition
in the way of an experimental farm
adjoining our city, and it should be o
inestimable value to the entire south
