NAMPA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE TO HOLD
IMPORTANT SESSION

Nampa, Jan. 5.-Present indications
point to the meeting of the Chamber

the best method of accomplishing the
reclamation of that community. They

date with efforts for the consumma-
ton of this purpose directed concert

Scantiness of fresh buying on the
part of exporters led afterward to more
