CLASS ANNUAL IS SUPERB
TO SOLICIT COLLEGE FUNDS
"resident Mulr, or Commercial Club,
Names Members of Committee.
At the regular meeting of the Com
mercial Club held Wednesday night,
President A. B. Mulr announced the
appointment of the following commit
tee to take up the work of soliciting
Pledges for support for Dallas College,
In accordance with the recommenda
tion of the board of managers of the
club at the previous meeting; Mrs.
George Gerllnger, Mrs. F. II. Mor
rison, R, e. Williams, J. R. Craven,
J. C. Hayter, 8. J. Gibson. In order
to allow the College to proceed with
its canvass in the East for an aug
mented endowment fund, it will be
necessary for it to be able to obtain
the promise of sufficient money to
erect an administration building In
Dallas this year, and it will be the
duty of the committee to raise the de
sired amount. .
A proposition to establih a factory
here on condition that the Club would
provide the lease of a site and a bonus,
was referred to the board of manag
ers for consideration and report.
The outlook for the establishment of
a big fruit packing plant here is very
favorable. A telegram has been re
ceived from a representative of the
company saying that the decision
would be reached Saturday, and that
Dallas stood a good show to receive it.
Tracy Staats, financial agent of the
Club, reported that he had collected a
total of $266 of the monthly subscrip
tolns the entire amount, with the
exception of a pledge of $1.75. He was
Instructed by the Club to force the
collection of all amounts which sub
scrlbers might refuse to pay.
A committee was appointed to so
licit new members for the Club. Pres
ident A A Wintar . t T anAhtr
tTT. re""ln' OI ua"as: Jas- and F. J. Coad were named to act hi
that capacity.
J. G. VanOrsdel made a statement
in regard to the proposed opening of
a road from a point on the Monmouth
road in Cooper Hollow to the Ballard
place. Inasmuch as it was considered
to be adavntageous to Dallas to open
up this tributary country, and owing
to the remonstrance against dt having
been signed by a number of business
men of the city under a misapprehen
slon or without investigation, the Club
decided to endorse the road, and the
following committee was appointed to
wait on the county court at the prop
er time and urge that It be granted.
as prayed for: W. L. Soehren, Edwin
Jaoobson, Conrad Stafrin, V. P. FIske,
W. V. Fuller. .
At the suggestion made through
Acting Secretary Wilbur Ross, that
Dallas should have a "clean-up day,"
the Club agreed to ask the enforce
ment of the city laws to that effect,
together with the assistance of every
property owner, some suitable day for
the work, to be set apart In the near
future by Mayor J. R. Craven.
On motion, of N. L. Guy a commit
tee, consisting of H. L. Fenton, W. A.
Ayres and W. L. Soehren, was ap
pointed to arrange for a pioneer pic
nic to be held in this city, Saturday,
June 24.
D. P. Patterson advised the forma
tion of a women's auxiliary of the
Commercial Club.as he was sure that
such an organization could accom
plish much that the Club could not.

For the first time in the history of
Dallas College, a class annual has
been issued. It is published by the
class of 1911, and is an edition de
luxe, limited to 350 copies, and rep
resents practically the highest achieve
ment in the matter of contents and
typographical appearance. It has 72
pages, 6 'A by 9 inches in size, is
printed on a fine quality of paper,
and contains about 50 high grade half
tone cuts, besides numerous pen and
Ink designs and sketches.
Many of the cuts are beautiful
photographs, reproduced direct from
Nature's beauty spots in and around
Dallas. Nothing finer In the way of a
souvenir publication of this city could
be obtained, and the demand for them
will be large. Fully half of them are
already sold, and those who wish to
buy them should send In their orders
to Clarence Reynolds, at the Observer
office at once, as no more of them will
be printed.' In addition to the large
amount of vork done on the annual
the class has been at great expense
in its publication, but they have set
the selling price Just low enough to
pay expenses.
The mechanical wiork was done in
the Observer Job office, and it is safe
to say that no finer booklet of Its
class has ever been sent out from any
school in the state. The price per
copy is 60 cents.
