mitted to the club for approval This
was agreed upon at a meeting Of the
club held Tuesday night The mat
Ter of q building fUr club quarters
came up for discussion, and a deal
! having already been made for the
Robert Gee property on North Ninth
street. the matter of forming a COR

The club will probably be fncor-

amount of stock will be issued. 1t
is the plans at present to sell only
enough stock to cover the cost OF
tho property.
The matter of improving the prop
erty will be taken care OF later. it
being the opinion of those attending
the meeting that the improvements
should be taken care of out of the
funds in the treasury, OF which their
is snub balance at this time.

upon at previous meetings, a number
Of members who attended Tuesdays

ent at the meetings in which the
whole matter was threshed out, some
lively discussions were entered into,
However, after a thorough discussion
and numerous suggestions by promi-
nent members, the solution of the
matter developed into Incorporating
tho club. That the club should move
conservatively in starting out on a
plan that will ultimately form q
sounder basis was the unanimous
sentiments of all present.
Among other matters of impor-
tance that were taken up by the club
was tho present financial condition
OF the country, and particularly of
Bear Lake. Representative business
men, farmers and bankers we're pres
ent and after a lengthy and instruc-
tive discussion the following resolu-
tion was adopted.

try just f;eg careful and con-
se7Fative policy, and that SO far
as Bear Lake county and sur
rounding vicinity ID concerned,

vail. because fundamentally, it
is sound and in comparatively
good condition. The pessimism
in our midst should be discour-
aged and the air Of depression
