COMMERCIAL CLUB IN BUSY
SESSION.

Twenty members of the Nezperct
Commercial club were in attendance
at the session held at the Nezpercs
Hotel last night. Landlord Farral
spread an exceptionally good dinner
for the occasion, and after this was
disposed of, President Leo Robertson
called the assembly to order and the
business of the evening was taken up.
The first matter for consideration
was the question of taxing itinerant
peddlers, offering for sale in the com
munity wares other than of their own
production. In the course of the
rather extensive discussion on the
subject it was pointed out that most
other towns had ordinances intended
for the protection of the local bust
ness concerns against the non-tax pay
ing peddlers. The president, acting on
a motion duly passed, appointed as a
committee to ascertain the best proce-
dure to take in this matter, and re-
port at the next meeting of the Club,
Leroy Miller, S. L. Shoemaker and
Rev. j. A. Hoffman.
The organization of the Chautauqua
management for the exhibition TO be
held here June 1927 was next taken
up, and resulted in the selection of
w. r. Emerson as president Of the as.
sociation, G. w. Kettman as secretary
and E. l.. Sehnell as treasurer The
business of putting over the ticket
sale viii be given attention later, dur
ing the visit of the Chautauqua head
quarters advance representative. Un-
der the terms of the contract for this
season, the 60 local signers have each
agreed to dispose of 12 adult season
tickets, or their equivalent in child
rem 3 tickets.
Road signs, advertising local bust
ness concerns and directing travellers
to Nezperce, was subject that elic-
tied general interest, and means ror
their early procurement were consider
ed. For gathering necessary informa-
ton on this subject, that final action
may be taken at an early meeting or
the Club, the following committee was
named: Nicholas Laier, s. L. Shoe
maker and G. w. Buckley.
The growing demand for tourist
park for the community was empha
sized in discussion Of some length or
this subject, and w. p. Conger, A. A..
Hunter and L. L. Abott were appoint
ed a committee to ascertain what can
be done along this line and report at I
The next meeting of the Club.
Shortly before the session adjourn
ID, P. w. Mitchell, who had just re-
5urned by auto from the Democratic
,tatc convention at st. Maries, was
,alled upon for talk on his trip.
He devoted most of his remarks to
description of the highways that he
lad traversed through north censraf
IDAHO, their condition, the extensive
recently completed and
n progress and the scenic beauty they
to the traveller.
Pioneer Picnic June 8.
Then he took up discussion of
'lans for a Lewis county pioneer pic
dc to be held at Nezperce. He point
d out that wide interest had devei-
ped in this movement for pioneers
lay in the county, and that 1T seemed
0 be the common wish that STRAIT
e made this spring. AS result of
his, it has been agreed that Friday,
une 6. is the logical time for holding
uch picnic here this season. While !
he time of arrangement is short. 1T
J considered that if all who are in {
crested will talk the matter up and {
ender what assistance they can. d
nccessful start can be made now. t
ther dates and more. extensive farm o
'ork make it impractical to hold this !
icnic later in the season. II
