 President Durry's report Is as fo lows:
 To The Members of the Warren Dis.
 trict Commercial ub:
 Gentlemen:--At the end of the fiscal year, which in this case colncides with the calendar year, it is expected that a report on the progress and con dition of the Club be given and cbei- iently thereto my statement is here by submitted.
 The present directorate is not inst as elected by you at the last annual meeting of the organization. as two members resigned and one was lost to the club by death. The two mem bers resigning, or more properly, de- clining to serve, were Mark P. JChn and E. A. Tovrea. both of Lowel . The vacancies thus occasioned were filled by the selection of Fred w. Rit. ter and Harry Jennings, both also Of Lowell.
 The Board suffered severe ioss in the death of J. Nj. O'Connell. who was the able legal adviser Of the club. his counsel ever being found sound and unbiased. and his judg- ment keen and accurate.
 Further changes in the Board re- suited from the resignation of J. M. MoGregor, the President who relin- cuished office by reason of urgent business calls. MT. McGrekor was sue ceeded by myself, who in turn. was succeeded by Jesse Yoakum, as Vice President. The resignation cf J. H.. Gray. secretary of the Club. made another change. MT. Gray was sue ceeded by Charles Purdon. Mir, Gray's report has already been published. He had held office from the organ- izaticn of the club and left to resume newspaper work.
 At the outset of this report, l de- sire to thank the directors for the efficient work which they have done. for the sacriisce of va uable time they have made, and to congratulate them on what has been achieved.
 When the present Board of Direc. tors assumed control Of the club there was already a definite policy of RETIREMENT instead of EXPLUl PATTON inaugurated. and that policy has been continued and broadenec It has teen our effort to better Twin and business conditions, to obtain Ter Bsbee and the Warren district an its residents their just deserts, and next to draw here others who migh enjoy the same benefits that we ct tain for ourselves. As minn community it is impossible to sers tt CTS. but, at the same time, che District is entitled to the trade be efits that result from the settlem n' f the adjacent val eys with the riel. sort of settlers. and this is tiie clas We have sought to bring in. We ha' further sought to make trade condt tions better for them.
 So far as bringing new citizens [. the District is concerned. our enori have gone to fill vacancies that hay offered and not to create a surplusasf of lsbor to set forth the faf ts ex.ctlj as they were to those who solglt ar oppor unity to enter business here Conditions have been such that ther' has been rapid growth in popula tion an unusual increase in prosper ity. the hanks alone showing an m crease in both deposits and resourcc' of twenty-five per cent in one year and the District now showing pop lation of 19,500.
 This Club may rightfuly claim |, have done it's part toward the TO duclng of this prosperity. At the same time 1t has. in many ways. betterec conditions, and has laid the foundn tion Tor still sdrther advancement and prosperity for the future and 1T directions not heretofore explored. ai well as along older and well knowr lines.
