The Commercial Club Meeting.

The preponderance of other matters precludes the possibility of reporting at length the meeting of the commercial club Monday 'night It was a very representative gathering of leading citizens and all of them seemed to be of one mind, and that was to carry out the proposed plan Of Mr. Dean. It was decided to postpone action until the commercial club could be incorporated, and a. committ e consisting of Frank Foltz, J. A. Chapman and J. J. Hunt was appointed to act with the officers, Geo. E. Murray, E. L. Hollingsworth and Deles Thompson, to attend at once to incorporating. i The secretary was Instructed to collect dues from all members, and about thirty paid atonce and the committee was to collect from others. A small emergency fund is required to perfect the incorporation. The plan is heartily approved, and as soon as the organization is legalized a contract will be signed with Mr. Dean and the sale of lots begun.
