together congeniaIly. They therefore
suggest and recommend that COM
mittee be appointed of seven persons
from your members to nominate such
number of persons, not less than
seven, as they may see fit, out of
which your trustees can be selected.
And that they be instructed in max
ing such nomination to ascertain as
far as possible in advance, whether
the person so nominated will give
their attention the matters of the
association. In this way it is believed
there will be less danger of naming
in the articles as trustees for the
first year, persons who will not or
cannot properly act as such directors.

on nomination Of directors and the
consideration of the constitution was
left to the chair. The committee on
nominations was as follows: w. N.
Searcy, John link, John O'Rourke,
Charles Herr, J. l.. Parsons, Frank
Eldredge and Frank Rivers. The men,
bers Of the latter committee were
George Moody, l.. e. Smith, C. l..
Russell, Reese McCloskey and l.. p.
Main.

committee that a nonresident secre-
f..,. hn l., l,I
experienced and willing to give all his
time to the work. 1t is understood
that the directors elected will act in
accordance with this recommendation.
Generally all the features of inter-
est are emphasized in the articles of
incorporation and the bylaws, both
of which follow. The articles of in
corporation were adopted substantial
ly as reported by the committee. In
the bylaws slight changes were
adopted, one that the exchange secre-
tary shall be for the first year non
resident Of Durango, and another that
only members in good standing should
be entitled to vote in the delibera-
tions of the Exchange, together with
