MERCE-ORGANI is
BACK OF CELEBRATION

The Moscow chamber of commerce,
at the luncheon Wednesday noon, de-
cided not to endorse the daylight saw
ing movement, which is recommended
for the Inland Empire by the Spokane
chember of commerce, until some in
formation is available as to the atti-
tude of the cities generally, it being
evident that unless the movement was
general, there would be confusion and
that it would be extremely unsatis-
factory and inconvenient.
c. l.. Jain, of the committee appoint
ed at the previous meeting to ascer-
tain the wishes of the community,
brought in petition for the change,
signed by rs men, principally bust
ness men.
He stated in presenting the petition,
however, that he would not recon-
mend the change unless it was gen.
eral.
o. S. Fletcher, also of the commit
tee, stated that he found many far
mers opposed to the change. After
some little discussion it was decided
to await action on the part of other
Inland Empire cities. So far as is
known no other Inland Empire COM
munity, aside from Spokane, has en-
dOrsed the movement, so it is likely
that nothing further will be heard
from it,
A communication from the Spokane
chamber Of commerce expressing ap-
probation of Moscow's well wishes,
which were expressed in communf
cation sent to the PascO reclamation
meeting, was read. The Spokane let
ter stated that more than five hundred
delegates, all good boosters for the
Columbia basin project, were present
at the meeting.
