GOOD ROADS.
The annual meeting of the Sank
Centre Commercial Club at the Club
Rooms Tuesday evening brought out
very representative gathering Of
business men.
The membership committee sub.
mitted the names of six applicants for
membership and also three reinstate-
ments. Chairman Schoenhoff and
Messers. Richards and Fish had done
so well in the interim since the last
meeting that they were unanimously
continued indefinitely. II every man
in town who ought, joined the Club
:.ne membership would be considerably
more than doubled.
The very important question
OF prevailing upon the Great
Northern road to stop No. 4 ct this
station, the same being the East
bound passenger shortly after 100
o'clock in the evening, was discussed
The president and secretary Of the
Club were directed to take the matter
up with the proper officials in an en-
deavor to secure this much desired
service.
Before calling for the election of Of.
nlcers for the coming year President

the work accomplished and thanked
the members for the hearty cooper.
alton given him at all times.
The retiring officers were given /.
rouslng rising vote Of thanks for the
enthusiastic and efficient mann "a
which they have attended to their
duties the past year.
When nominations for president
were called for, Hon. Frank N. Min
cite was recognized and in glowing
speech proceeded to name James AZ
Caughran, the well know capitalists
and public spirited citizen, as the
mead OF the organization for the year
1914. The presentation of Mr.. Caueh-
rams name was something of a sur
PRISE in most quarters but the mem
Dership soon realized that the selec-
ton would only be a partial recogni-
lion OF his splendid work in behalf Of
The city in the past, and he was elect
cd by a unanimous vote.
j. F. Cooper, another old-time and
Vell-known resident, was selected N
1rst vice president by a unanimous
vote. He will make a splendid run
llng mate with Mr.. Caughran in Gag
wing on the business of the Club.
There were several nominees for
secretary but A. F. Strebel received =
lean majority and was declared elect
a. From the mere fact that "Straeb"
$ cashier in the bank in which Mr..
;aughran is president, it must not be
Inferred that his elevation was in the
lature of frame-up. In fact the
OBJ was wished onto him under pro-
est. He will make an excellent Of
icial.
Several names were presented for
treasurer but DIR. J. A. Dubois won in
J walk. This completed the roster rs
he officials constitute the board Of
directors, and the Herald is inclined
o the opinion that the membership
i'd a mighty good job.
The committee in whose charge was
laced the selling Of the season tickets
or the coming University Extension
.yceum Course, reported that prac-
lcally enough season tickets had been
old to guarantee the success of the
undertaking..
