Among Matters Discussed.

Matters discussed and acted upon
at The meeting of the Commercial
club Tuesday evening were the new
hotel proposition submitted bv Mr..
p M. Holt the wagon road to Jor-
dan Valley, the Fourth OF July eele-
bration and woman's rest room. Each
of these enterprises were acted upon
so far as it were possible at this time.
1t is interesting to note sportent
which now comes to light at public
meetings in Caldwell, and which in
dicates a healthier state of mind than
for some time past. At present mat
tiers come up in the regular order and
are treated in a thorough. energetic
and business-like manner. For in
stance, committees making reports
submit them with snap. In each in
stance it is evident that the commit
tee has been at work and knows ex-
actly what has been done and what
can be done and when. This was liz
Iustrated by E. H. Plowhead when he
submitted his report on the Fourth
OF July celebration. Mr.. Plowhead
showed that his committee and the
other committees we're at work; knew
what they were trying to do and also
what they were going to do. Mr..
Plowhead spoke with authority when
reporting, which showed that he knew
what he was talking about. Knowl-
edge in this, as in all other instances,
is prime requisite for a public adj
dress.

DR.. T. w. Cue. who started things
moving right off the bat. He had
