FRUITFUL MEETING
COMMERCIAL BODY
Regular Meeting Was Held Last
Night With Good Attendance
and Many Topics of Local
Interest Discussed

Last night was chamber of COM
merce night and a sufficient number
of the men of the town remembered
the date to make a good crowd and
participate to create meeting that
was full of interest. Chief among
the topics discussed and acted upon
deals with Humboldt county thor
oughfares. There is a growing con-
viction amongst leading men in this
city that year-'round roads will do
more to advance this community and
the tributary districts than any
other single thing, or all other
things combined, for that matter.
Discussion of the subject last night
resulted in naming the members of
the committees that will represent
this county at the Overland Trail
club meeting projected for the 10th
and 18th of this month. This meet
ing will be held in Reno. Attend
ing from here will be Judge j. A..
Langwith, delegate at large, repre-
senting the chamber of commerce;
C. E. Haviland, DR.. A. A. Wendell,
E. P. Sites, L. G. Campbell and
w. P. Stephenson, representing the
Overland Trail club and road COM
mittee of the local commercial body.
Mr.. McMann of Reno, represent
ing the American Express Company,
talked last night and promised an
improved express service in this city.
Arrangements made by him contem-
plate express office hours hereafter
as follows: to 1890 am, 11:45
to $40 pm. He gave it as his
opinion that the present daily ex-
press service in this city, coming
from six trains, four on the West
ern Pacific and two on the Southern
Pacific, could not be enlarged.
The road committee of the cham
Der of commerce reported the re-
suits of an out-of-meeting confer
ence in which the committee men,
bers agreed to recommend that
| every possible effort be directed at
effecting arrangements whereby the
Victory highway will be routed di-
rectly through the business district
in this city, entering from the west
on Sixth street, which would be fol-
lowed to Bridge street, thence to
Second street, to be followed to the
western corporate limit. A strong
appeal is to be made to the states
highway department to act in ac-
cordance with local wishes in this
important respect and the states
road-building organization is also to
be asked to construct subways for
the Victory highway at proper points
east and west of this city.
AS a result Of the discussion Of
the evening correlating around the
recommendation of the road COM
| mittee the membership present de-
cided to circulate petitions under the
l
direction of the chamber of COM
merce to be signed by Humboldt
county residents generally and then
| forwarded to the states highway
officials to make plain Humboldt
county desires.
| Another and highly important
innovation adopted as chamber of
commerce policy last night con-
Germs the listing Of mining prop
critics as an activity to be added to
those hitherto maintained by the
body. Hereafter it will be the duty
of Secretary T. Grady and his as
sociated members on the mining
committee to maintain data dealing
with all mining properties in this
county, the information to be kept
on file for the benefit of inquirers
who might desire to obtain specific
facts. 1t is thought that this de-
parture will prove of considerable
value to the mining interests of this
county and to others who may be-
come interested in the industry
through the availability of the data
in the local chamber of commerce
rooms.
Members of the Business Mems
club, which adjourned sine die when
the Humboldt county chamber OF
commerce sprung into existence
proffered the remnant of the treas
ury to the newer organization ano
it was accepted. A sum approxi
mating $25 was thus made avail
able to pay the expenses of J. A
Langwith in going to Reno to repre-
sent the organization at the Over
land Trail club meeting.
