Election Passed Off in Very HarmOni-
GUS Manner, Which Speaks Well For
Work of Association.

The elections in the settlers aSSocia-
ton, held Friday afternoon at Roger
son, Amsterdam, Hollister and Berger,
failed to make any radical change In
the complexion OF the board, five of
the former directors being reelected.
A e. Caldwell and j. E. Pohlman, of
Hollister, received particularly graft
flying support, their elections being
practically unanimous. Mr.. Caldwell
received all but two votes cast at the
meeting on the first ballot, which was
for nominations only. Mr.. Pohlman did
not receive SO many on this ballot, but
on the next, which was for election of
directors, both Mr.. Caldwell and Mr..
Pohlman lacked but two votes of a
unanimous election. (The ensuing year
will be Mr.. Caldwell's fourth year of
service ON the board and Mr.. Pohl-
mans third)
A complication, in Mr.. Pohlman's
instance, caused a little confusion at
the Hollister and Amsterdam meetings,
both places insisting on electing the
old director At the Hollister meet
ing, however, third man was elected
to take Mr.. Pohlmans place in the
event he was the choice of the Amster-
dam gathering, the contest narrowing
down to Ross Carter, Carl Washburn
and L. E. Edmundson Mr.. Carter
withdrew and the election went to L.
E. Edmundson, although Mr.. Wash
burn had considerable support.
| The Berger meeting returned to the
board every one Of the former direc-
tors, V. f. Morgan, James w. Beau
champ, and w. F. Mikesell The man
