COMMERCIAL CLUBS
PLAN TO FEDERATE
Proposal Meets Favor of
Visitors From
Nearby Cities

At the monthly meeting of the
Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce, a
plan was started for federating the
clubs of the valley. from American
Falls up. The meeting was attended
by some visitors from Pocatello,
Idaho Falls and Rigby, and the pro-
posal to federate was favored by all
of them.
There were present DR.. H. A.
Anderson of Rigby, B. H. Read.
George M. Scott, D. A. Caldwell and
E. G. Bennett, of Idaho Falls, S. e.
Brady and ]. l.. Harader of Poca-
tello.
Miss Grace Peck, secretary of the
Blackfoot Chamber of Commerce was
authorized to ask each club to name
representative to meet at some
central place in the valley at time
to be selected by herself, for consid-
Grafton of projects which league
might do, and the best means of or
ganizing and operating.
A number of short addresses were
made, touching upon the things al
ready accomplished in the valley
when we have done it by team work,
things which stand out as achieve
ments, such as the setting for the
American Falls reservoir, and the
dairy and cheese industries now OPP
Grating, and it was freely predicted
that other great projects will be
found and acted on.
A report was made by E. C. Row
don on the condition of the band, and
the need of immediate action to Sc
cure the uniforms in time for Memoir
ial Day. The committee on finance
had raised 1912 and plans had been
for expanding about $500 of
it for uniforms and the rest would be
needed for instruments. Mr.. Row
don made motion that the $612 be
turned over to the band. The mo-
ton was lost for want of second.
Byrd Trego made a motion that its
expenditure be authorized under the
Joint action of the committee from
the Chamber of Commerce that
raised the money, and a committee
selected by the band. This motion
was lost for want of a second. After
some discussion the Trego motion
was revived and adopted.

ngs of the Chamber of Commerce
