REPRESENTATIVE GATHERING OF CITIZENS ENTHUSIASTICALLY EN-
 DORSES CHAMBER COMMERCE
Immediate Success Will Come if Everybody Boosts

AL the cOurC-nOuSe IaSl Tuesday evening, a large and thoroughly represent ative gathering of the busi. ness men of Holbrook met and took under advisement the project of starting and maintaining a commercial organization to further the interests of Holbrook, prim- arily as well as that of Na- vajo County. The Crea- tor has wisely withheld from us the power to s e e into the future; but we feel that, in time to come, this meeting will be remembered and much of the credit for our expansion will be given to those who pioneered, worked for, and subscribed to the Holbrook commercial organization which wa S formed in 1922.
 The meeting was opened by the introduction of MT. Brooks of Hunter, Dulin and Co.,, the Los Angeles bond holder of the Golfer ranch issue. MT. Brooks presented a petition to Gov ernor Campbell for the sig nature of those present. The petition asked Cover nor Campbell to use his good offices to have the Federal Government use part of the land which is under the Ly- man Dam for the rehabilita- tion of the soldiers of the great war. After a thorough explanation of the meaning of this petition, it was a. greed that the proposition was deserving of the heart jest support of the citizens of Holbrook. The p a p e r was handed around and sig ned by most all of those pre-. sent, and was further cir culated Wednesday in town. The proposition to Holbrook was Everything to gain and nothing to lose"
 Mir. Chamberlain was sel. ected chairman and explain ed the initial purpose in calling the meeting; a dis cussion as to whether or not the formation of a Chamber of Commerce or Business Mems Association or both. In the course of a brief talk, MT. Chamber lain made it clear that he was of the firm opinion that the time was opportune for the initial steps leading to the formation of a commer- cial club to be taken. May or Cooley was asked to give his views.
 MT. Cooley briefly stated that, while he was not cer- tain at this time as how to proceed, he was more than ready to meet the views of the gathering, and subscribe his full share.
 This spirit of willingness to meet any reasonable fi- nancial demands was notic- ed throughout the evening, and will do much toward | the success of our town.
 MT. Richard Schuster, in reply to the chairman, agre- ed with the remarks of MT, |CooIey, adding that a Busi- ness Mems organization, to be used as a credit. guide was most essential; though MT. Schuster added that he would give financial support to a Chamber of Commerce. MT. CHI. Jordan, in reply to the chairman, gave hear
 ty endorsation to a Chamber of Commerce. In the course of his remarks, Mir. Jordar drew attention to the cause of failure of previous organ izations of a similar nature, namely. the use of the or ganization for the benefit o1 special interests rather thar

aOI IilS SeIleIdl interest. l This point was dwelt upon by following speakers, and 1t was stressed that tn e work of the new Club must follow lines of community interest. At the close of MT. Jordan's remarks, he suggested that a temporary organization, leading to per manency, be formed at the meeting.
 MT. Mark Bryan spoke briefly in favor of a live or ganization to boost the town and the district.
 MT. Pincetl concurred in the remarks of the two pre- vious speakers, and closed his remarks with the offer of the loan of office space.
 Judge Thomas unreser- vedly favored an organiza- tion, and laid stress upon the fact that one of the first duties of club of this kind was to keep out people that could not be maintained. MT. Thomas felt that the town should have some body that would be able to reach out and gather some of the benefits that will most as- suredly accrue from t h e building and installation of the Grand Canyon project. That the present was the logical time to launch a club was not to be doubted, and the Judge advised the for nation of a committee at the meeting.
 At this point, it was con- sidered advisable to nomi- mate a temporary secretary as Chairman. On motion of MT. Carpenter, seconded by MT. Stovall, Paul Cox was nominated temporary secre- tary. and duly elected.
 It was moved by MT. c. H. Jordan that the Chair man appoint a committee of five to draw up the bylaws, and investigate the extent of financial support that would be forthcoming. This was carried. MT. Chamber lain appointed Messrs. R. Schuster, Jesse Hulet, w. Scorse, C. H. Jordan, and w. Stovall to act on the com mittee.
 A member of the St. Johns Chamber of Commerce, MT. Whiting. was asked to speak. MT. Whiting told of the good that had resulted to his town from their Chamber of Com merce there, and also stated that a cooperative spirit be- tween the towns could un- doubtedly be enhanced by the actions of a Holbrook Chamber of Commerce.
 Mir. w. Scorse spoke brief ly in favor of the project, and those who know, realise that he has been along this line for some time. In the matter of dues, MT. Scorse felt that a operating of the l expenses was the only feasi- ble method. The S10O. 000.- % business to pay a S100,- 100000 share, and the $10.- 000.00 business to bear it's proportion of the burden.
 The views of c. H. Jenn- iDgs were listened to with interest, and some things which might be brought to an immediate consummation if we had a Chamber now, were spoken of by him. MT. Jennings was prepared to give of his time and sub- stance to further the cause.
 Personal experiences with tourists were cited by Mir. Henry Lee, and there seem- ed to be no doubt in his mind but that this traffic could be made immensely valuable by a live organization.
