Commercial Club
Has Good Meet
ORGANIZATION STRENGTHENED
DISCUSS IMPORTANT MATTERS
AND COMMITTEES APPOINTED

The Orofino Commercial Club held
lively meeting in the Burns build
ing Monday night at which a good
number of business men were In
attendance. Reports of old COM
mittees were heard and the COM
mittees discharged. Numerous new
standing committees were appointed
and the club organization strength
ened.
A membership committee consist
ing of A. NJ Case, H. F. Lawrence
and R. A. Hamilton was appointed.
The duties of this committee are to
secure new membership at all times.
All present at the meeting be-
came members by signing an appli-
cation card agreeing to pay three
months dues in advance, the signed
cards authorizing the secretary to
draw against the bank account of
the members every three months for
dues in advance. Notices of this
action will then be mailed to each
member upon who account the dues
are drawn SO that the proper bal
ance can be kept. Dues were fixed
so cents per month at a meeting of
the board of directors held some
time ago. This method of collecting
dues was designed to lessen the duty
of the secretary by eliminating the
collection Of dues from each individ-
aul member.
A standing committee of three
was also appointed to make arrange
ments for a luncheon to be held
at intervals at one of the hotels,
when regular business OF the organ
ization will be transacted. Each
member will pay for his own meal
according to the present plan and
the date of the luncheons will be
announced later.

ment and that there are but two
car lengths of siding. situated where

order to load the cars. The, rail
road had promised q longer siding
but delays putting 1t in. The COM
mittee was given authority to take
the matter up with the public util-
ity commission should 1t be unable
