Last night occurred the annual
meeting of the Pendleton Commercial
association, and officers for the en
suing year were elected, reports of
old officers received nnd numerous
other matters discussed.
Officers ami Boards.
For president during the coming
year It was the unanimous sentiment
that J. A. Borle should be re-elected,
and this was done after a brief speech
by T. G. Halley, praising the work
of that official during the past year.
For vice president, C. E. Roosevelt
waa again placed in nomination by
Leon Cohen, and this election was
also unanimous. But here the re
election of the old officers came to
an end, and the "young blood" of the
association was recognised by the
election of Fred Lampkln as secretary
and Mark Moorhouse as treasurer.
A committee was appointed to
nominate nine men to serve with the
officers on the board of managers.
This committee reported the names
of Leon Cohen, Robert Forster, F. E.
Judd, M. A. Rader, W. L. Thompson,
J. W. Maloney, Bert Huffman. Oeorge
Hartman, Jr., and Dr. C. J. Smith.
These nine were then unanimously
chosen to serve on the board of man
agers. Reports and Addresses.
The annual address of President
Borle was next read, and Is publish
ed elsewhere In this Issue.
The report of Treasurer Vincent
showed a balance of 1481.96 to be In
the treasury, derived from the fol
lowing sources: general fund, $2ri0.16;
cigars. 13.45; billiards, (72.20; cards.
1140.65; key deposit, $12.50.
The irrigation committee reported
through their chairman. Bert Huff
mnn. that In accordance with the sug
gestion of J. T. Whistler, circular let
ters had been sent lo llutter creek
farmers for the purpose of securing
data on the subject of winter Irriga
tion, and also that replies had been
received to a number of these letters.
S. II. Forshaw, who has been en
gaged for several months . past In
making a collection of the products
of the county to be used In the Uma
