Del Norte Plans For
Live Commercial Club

On the invitation OF Del NOrte
about thirty members OF the Monte
Vista Commercial Club motored over
to that city last Friday evening and
took part in an enthusiastic gather
ing of about 250 people who had
as their object the organization OF
a civic body for Del Norte similar
to Monte Vista's Commercial Club
The meeting was held in the
high school auditorium there and
was preceded with n splendid din
ner served at 1890 o'clock which the
Monte Vista men report as fine
repast. During the dinner and at
other intervals Tom Drysdale's band
furnished their usual first class
brand of lively music.
Following the dinner Mr.. Elmer
Del Norte schools acted as chair
man and outlined the policy of the
meeting and introduced the speak
ers. The program was fine one
and on the list were at least fifteen
speakers who struck the keynote
for the organiza ton of a CONNER
cial club for Del Norte.
The civic and social problems OF
the town and many business matters
were brought up in the series OF
talks given. Chief among these was
the recent Irrigation Project which
is to put under cultivation one OF
the finest and most productive areas
in the valley contingent to the town
OF Del Norte. This irrigation pro-
ject. construction on which is to be-
gin this month, is one OF the big
gest things ever put over in Del
Norte's commercial history and the
meeting Friday evening was sort
of jubilee celebration in honor OF
the victory Of the town in securing
this big business project.
Del Norte business men have
reached the point where they con-
slider the civic, social and business
interests OF the town can best be
promoted through commercial
club organization and the invita-
tion was extended u Monte Vista
Commercial club executives and
members to come over and help cut
line the plans on which Del Norts
will establish her civic body.

place as unquestionabiy the biggest
and most successful event of its
kind In the state. He outlined the
plans OF the promotion and told OF
