COMMERCIAL CLUB NAMES
COUNCIL COMMITTEES

Inc meeting Tuesday night of the
Parls Commercial Club was one of
the best attended in the history of
the new organization, and from the
enthusiasm displayed it is more
than probable that there will be
something doing all the time. The
meeting was presided over by Presi-
dent John T. Collins. Secretary
Charles F.. Dunn, of the Lexington
Board of Trade, was present, and
delivered an interesting and highly
entertaining address to the mem
bers. Acting on suggestions made
in his address by Mr. Dunn, the bus
mess interests of the city and coun-
ty were featured in the organization
by Members Council Groups -
each group having a chairman.
Each member will be mailed a
referendum blank asking for their
suggestions as to best thing for the
Commercial Club to take UP for the
general interest of the city. From
these blanks the Board of Directors

upon which to concentrate the ener-
gies Of the Club. In his address
Secretary Dunn stated that he had
never seen a commercial club so
easily organized as had been the
Paris organization, for which he
predicted great success.

plications for the position of perma-
nent paid Secretary. The report
showed that the organization now
had 152 members who had paid
their dues up, and that the treas
ury had in it the sum of 5000. The

Health Officer Will Close All Homes
Where Influenza ENiStS-NIany
Cases Develop But All in
Light Form

A strict quarantine for influenza
was declared Wednesday, when the
total of cases of the disease had
passed the 200 mark, and in future
permitted to enter or leave homes
where the disease exists. A few
scattered cases of the disease de-
veloped last week and on Monday Of
this week a large number of cases
were reported. Tuesdays total of
new cases was considerably under
that of Monday and Wednesday
showed a still further reduction in
the number of new cases. With d
few exceptions all of the cases are
very mild, many patients recovering
after three or four days of illness.
The situation, with its possibili-
ties and probabilities, was discussed
fully at the meeting of the chamber
of commerce Tuesday, when a com
mittee including d. F. Staley, f. c.
Densow and w. M. Ellsworth, was
named to investigate the situation
and take any steps deemed neces-
sary.
While it is believed that the cpl
demic will not this year assume the
proportions of last year, either in
number or severity of the cases, the
city will be in readiness to handle
the situation should it become nee
essary, advance arrangements being
made to prevent the possibility of an
eleventh hour stampede. The cham
Der of commerce committee is work
ing in cooperation with the local
musicians, the school board and
other agencies, and will be in po-
sition to take immediate steps to
relieve any situation that might de-
yelop
It is thought unnecessary TO close
the schools or public meetings at
the present time but every precau-
ton will be taken to prevent a
spread of the disease. Scholars
from homes where there is influenza
or other diseases that might develop
into influenza, will be excluded from
tie schools, and careful check will
be Kept on the health of all the stu
dents.

SECOND SEMESTER
OPENS At SCHOOLS
First Semester Closed Last Friday
Physical Training Exercises to BE
Given During School Hours

Monday morning marked the open
ing of the second semester for the
Pullman schools The work accom-
plished by the students during the
first semester was highly favorable
and the spirit of both teachers and
pupils was excellent. At the close
of the first semester the total en-
rollment in both high school and
grades had reached 662. of whom
BAT were girls and 315 boys. OF
this number 189 We're in the high
school and 473 in the grades.
Mrs Bartlett, who was employed
during the first semester to relieve
the crowded condition in the Main
building. was retained for the sec
ond semester. Owing to the crowd
ed condition of the schools it was
found impossible to rearrange the
grades to any extent with the open
ing of the second semester. A num-
Der of students who had reached the
school age during the first semester
entered Monday, making both pri-
mary rooms quite crowded
The new law concerning physical
training threw an added burden on
the teachers during the first semes-
ter. the training having been given
by Mr.. Fustis during the I : minute
period after school hours For the
second semester a program will be
arranged under which the physical
instruction may be given during the
school day, the plan being to take
students in groups during their
study periods and give them train
ing in the gymnasium, the instruc-
ton for boys and girls to be given
on alternate days.
The home economics department
is preparing to serve hot lunches to
the high school students who now
bring their lunch to school. This
plan will be something of an ex-
pertinent, with the hope that the
scope of the service may be con-
siderably broadened next year

that by close cooperation between
the parents, the physicians and the
school officials it will be possible
to keep the schools open without

FORMER ALBION MAN

The body of Benjamin Charles

Thursday morning on the way to his
former home in Albion for funeral
services. The young man is survived
by his wife and two children, his
mother and nine brothers and sisters.

Jones' Albion
Recently Mr.. Jones had been liv-
ing in Tacoma and soon after the
first of the year went to Portland
looking for work His family did not
hear anything from him and they
began to wonder if something had
happened to him In watching the
papers they saw where an unidenti-
fled man had been killed in Port
land Investigation proved that it
was Mr.. Jones.
He was found near the o.-W,
tracks in the edge of Portland on
January 8. He was badly injured
and died the next day in hospital
without being identified. There was
a mark showing heavy blow on the
head and the Portland papers gave
two theories as to his death, one
that he had been hit by train and
another that he had been struck
over the head by an assailant and
robbed.
The body was not identified until
Tuesday of this week, ten days after
his death.
