Prof. J. b. Taylor, who was leading

afternoon reported that not one indi-
vidual asked declined to become a

IN fact. they were very enthusiastic
abont it, realizing what a prominent
factor in the upbuilding of the town
the commercial body is. The board
IL directors has planned even greater

licity.
The increase in stock raising and
poultry raising is becoming n promi-
nent factor in the development Of

lines will be very greatly enlarged.
A prominent dairyman Of Wisconsin
wrote the secretary this week that he
would be here very soon to commence
operations along the dairying line,
and more farmers are becoming in
tcrested in the raising of high bred
hogs.
There is no question regarding the
movement toward the Southwest this

capped.
