Commercial Club Will
Work for Big Project
At the business meeting of the
Commercial Club Monday evening,
V. F. King, chairman of the week
ly committee Appointed to assist D.
r. Stewart with the road work, re
ported that he called a meeting at
Newsom creek for the purpose of
enlisting aid in the construction of
the roads into that section. "There
was no trouble at all in getting
volunteers," Mr. King said. "All
told 21 weeks of road work for
men and teams were offered. This
donation, measured in dollars and
cents, would foot up 1630. The
people up there deserve lots of
credit for their loyal support of the
good roads movement." C. W.
Elkins was named as assistant to D.
F. Stewart, on behalf of the Com
mercial Club, for this week.
The contest for membership
between the teams captained by
Messrs. Duffy and Foster was de
cided at this meeting. Frank
Foster won. His side secured 24
new names while the other side got
but 12 with four more to hear from.
Mr. Duffy personally secured the
largest number of new members.
He got nine out of the twelve se
cured. Messrs. Leo Lafollette, T. H.
LafoHette and Ed Slayton were
present and addressed the meeting
on behalf of the Table Land Ditch
Co. This company has a ditch that
carries water over onto the Johnson
creek bench and were about to
cement 2i miles of it but before
doing so considered it a good time
to take up the question of enlargement-
The company has already
made one enlargement at consider
able extra expense and did not
want to make another if it could
possibly be avoided. The ditch
could be made to carry enough
water for 25,000 or 30,000 addi
tional acres and before any more
cement work was undertaken was
the time to decide whether or not
to take in the extra land. Plenty
of water could be had for one
thorough wetting each season
which would be enough for the first
and second crops. The proposition
received the unanimous endorse
ment of the club and Messrs. Hyde,
Pollard and Bowman were ap
pointed a committee to work with
the ditch company in procuring
definite information upon which to
xo Dase a pian or. action. An irri
gation district will no doubt be
be organized. Should the enlarge
ment plan be carried out it would
be instrumental in providing homes
for two or three hundred families
right at the door of Prineville.
Supt. Baughman of the Crook
County High School asked the sup
port of the Commercial Club in
making Friday, May 8, a big day
at the high school. There will be a
varied program in the forenoon
while the afternoon will be given
over to athletic sports. Mr. Baugh
man requested that the Commer
cial Club be represented by a
speaker. The chair appointed R. L.
Brewster, Frank Foster and L. M.
Bechtell a committee to assist the
high school in making the day an
eventful one. The speaker will be
announced later.

Commercial Club
Holds Annual Meeting
The annual meeting of the Frine
ville Commercial Club Tuesday even
ing brought out the largest attend
ance in years.
It was shown by President King's
report that the club was on a good
sound financial basis. Since De
cember 6, 1913, the club's floating
indebtedness has been reduced
1220.60, and It ts expected to re
duce this amount 1394.45 by the
first of June. The interest on the
bonds is all paid up and the club
has $286.65 cash on hand. The in
come now is considerably in excess
of the cost of operation.
The club has a membership of
12885 active resident members
and 43 non-resident members.
There are 10 applications for mem
bership now on the bulletin board
which practically gives the club
membership of 138.
A communication was received
from the Ladies' Annex; said com
munication contained a check for
tlOO and the best wishes of the
ladies for the continued prosperity
of the club. A vote of thanks was
tendered the ladies for their timely
aid and thoughtfulness. Their
kindness and interest were highly
appreciated.
The election of officers came next
on the program. rive trustees
were to be chosen. It was agreed
that from the list of candidates the
five receiving the highest number
of votes would be declared elected.
The successful candidates were H.
A. Kelley, Homer Ross, Fred Hoels-
cher, S. R. Cooper and T. E. J.
Duffy. These trustees elect the
officers of the club from among
their number.
There were many calls for W. F,
King to remain at the helm but he
positively declined. He stated that
he had dropped his road work to
push the club and now, when every
thing was working splendidly, he
wished to take up his road work
again. Part of the work is to erect
signboards at the intersection of
cross-roads on all important high
ways throughout the county. He
and Engineer Kelley are also at
work on a large road map of Crook
county which, when completed will
be presented to the county court.
A three-fourths vote of the mem
bership of the club passed the fol
lowing important amendments to
to the by-laws:
Section 11a. The membership
fees and dues of members of this
club shall be kept in a separate
fund to be known as the Mainte
nance fund, and shall be used only
to meet and defray the involuntary
indebtedness of the club, unless the
surplus in such fund shall exceed
five hundred dollars, in which case
the excess over such surplus of
1500 may be used for general pur
poses.
the Hoard of Trustees shall not
contract or create any indebtedness
of this club unless there are suffi
cient lunds in the General Fund to
meet all such contracted and ere
aiea inaeDteaness. All lunds com
ing into the hands of the secretary,
except membership fees and dues
of members, shall constitute the
General Fund, unless otherwise
ordered by the members of the
club.
At the close of the meeting Mr.
Duffy and his cohorts who were de
feated in the membership race in
vited all present to a Dutch lunch
in the club parlors. Sandwiches,
coffee and cigars were enjoyed until
a late hour. Next Monday evening
the newly elected trustees will
furnish a spread for club members.
Come on out. Lots of eats.

Two Good Double
Tennis
Courts
It is safe te say that the Prine
ville Commercial Club has two of
the best double tennis courts in
this country. It has taken lots of
time and money to get the courts
into their present shape but it is
worth It. There is lots of real joy
in store for the tennis sharks this
summer.
The schedule of games has not
yet been madB up for this year but
it will no doubt soon be. Bend,
Redmond, The Dalles and Hood
River can safely be counted upon
as contenders for local honors.
In mentioning improvements at
the Commercial Club it might be
noted that the supports to the
staging when completed will settle
for all time any liability to sagging
no matter how much weight is
placed thereon. Engineer Kelley
is doing a fine job and he doing it
without cost to the club. He do
nates his services and club members
chip in for hired help and the cost
of material.
