each person. Notwithstanding the fact
that he may have more than one
membership card.
After having thus outlined a prac-
tical and democratic method of or
ganizing and electing a directorate,
Mr.. Reynolds then introduced e. B.
Stinson. who Is connected with the
traffic department of the Southern
Pacific Railway.
Mr.. Stinson spoke for a few min
utes regarding the organization of
the Eureka County Chamber OF Com
merce. and encouraged the matter Of
organising as soon as possible. He
spoke Of the vast benefits derived
from such organizations in other
communities. and gave us to under
stand that II was the policy of the
Southern Pacific Railroad to assist
and cooperate with such organiza-
tions in every way possible. The
community is indebted to Mr.. Stin-
SON for his encouraging remarks. and
to J. M. Fulton. who represents the
Southern Pacific In Nevada, for hav-
ing sent a representative of their COM
pany to assist us in the matter. Such
action on the part of the railroad in
dicates friendly interest in the well
fare of our community. 1t also in
dicates that the railroad company is
not unmindful Of the beneficial effect
and influence such an organization
will WELD in the development of the
resources of a community.
After Mr.. Stinson had completed
his address. Charles s. knight, Presi-
dent and Managing Director OF the
Reno Chamber OF Commerce was in
troduced.
Mr.. knight explained In most in
teresting and thorough manner the
methods OF organizing and operating
successful Chamber OF Commerce
for Eureka County. One OF the most
important points brought out by him
was the necessity Of the entire coop
Grafton of all people in the county on
the program of work that the people
wanted to see carried out for the up
building OF the county resources. He
showed that no organization in the
country ever accomplished anything
really worth while through antago-
nistic effort. and further impressed
upon those present the absolute nec-
essity for eliminating all petty griev-
ances and personal differences and
exerting the best thought and effort
in the big movements that are bound
to bring prosperity to Eureka County.
TO SURVEY MINING AND
AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES
Practical suggestions were made
providing for careful surveys of the
possibilities of development in min
ing and agriculture. with the idea OF
obtaining complete information on
lands available or good mining prop
critics to be developed. so that in
vestors coming into the county will
be attracted by the opportunities in
the form of investments. In simple
terms this means the proper listing
of the goods for sale in Eureka Coun-
ty in a rorm attractive to the buyer,
which is the logical step in placing
our resources on the public market.
The Reno Chamber Of Commerce
through its bureaus of mining and
colonization has offered to assist the
county in furnishing proper informa-
tion blanks for collecting the desired
information, and further in finding
investors who are looking for invest
ments such as are offered by Eureka
County. The newly organized Cham
Der of Commerce will greatly appre-
ciate this valuable assistance and will
undoubtedly make considerable pro-
gress along these lines during the
present year.
TO IMPROVE THE
LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Many places in the Lincoln High
way within a radius OF ten miles from
Eureka are badly in need of I'm
provement. President Knight sug-
gested that the Chamber of Com
merce set aside one Of more Good
Roads Days" for this much needed
work, secure the assistance OF every
one in the county with their time,
horses. tractors. graders and other
necessary equipment, and by proper
organisation into working squads,
each assigned to particular stretch
Of road, repair these bad places;
.~r.&-uct a comfortable free camp
