At a well attended meeting Of the
citizens OF Roundup held in the Pio-
neer Club rooms Wednesday evening.
the Roundup Commercial Club was
re-organfzed along entirely different
lines than on which it has been operat-
cd in the past. On vote being taken
on the proposed change, 1t developed
that everyone present was in favor or
the new plan as suggested by Geo. n.
Bailey of the Northwest Townsite Co..
known as the Oregon plan.
The committee appointed last week
to draft constitution submitted the
result Of its labors, and the constitu-
ton as prepared was adopted without
any alterations. No change was made
In the name Of the organization which
Will remain the Roundup Commercial
Club. In making the change in the
form OF government It was deemed
wise, however, to have the new club
assume the obligations incurred BY
the former one.
The constitution gives the objects Of
the organization as follows:
To foster and encourage in the Deo.
pie of our county and community
confidence in It's stability, its present
well being, and the certainty of its
growth and development; to increase
and promote its commercial import.
ance; to increase the settlement and
cultivation of the vast acreage OF idle
land and to promote the welfare and
prosperity Of its members; to encour.
age, aid and support its present in.
dustries and activities; to strive for
the attraction Of new settlers. and the
establishment of new enterprises and
industries. no matter how small: to
concentrate the judgment, influence
and enthusiasm of it's members in
bringing about, influencing and for
Warding such movements as tend tow
ard growth, upbuilding, welfare and
prosperity Of the people of the coun-
ty and community"
Following the adoption of the con.
stitution, the election OF three COM
missioners was then taken up. The
officers elected are as follows: Com.
missioner on membership, f. A. j.
jesse; Commissioner OH Entertain
ment, J. c. Bogue; Commissioner on

G. Il. Wofford These commissioners
have the authority to appoint their
own committees, which are to be an.
nounced at the next meeting. Their
terms of office will be six, twelve and
eighteen months, the three being re-
qured to draw straWs to see who gets
the respective terms. The commits
slOners appoint Il general secretary
who shall serve without compensation.
Under the new constitution there
will be no fees or dues attached to
membership in the club, and the CO.
operation of the ladies' of Roundup
will be solicited and this no doubt win
prove strong factor in making the
organization Il success.
Meetings are to be held monthly and
the commissioners are to change about
in presiding.

the recall OF officers should they be-
come negligent In their duties or other
wise undesirable. The recall may bo
