The board of directors of the Dal
las Commercial club departed from
custom t nday night and chose a wo
man, Mrs. Winnie Braden. secretary
of the club for the ensuing year.
Mrs. Braden has been secretary of
the Polk county fair association for
several years. She is clearly entitled
to a place on the roster of women who
do things in Oregon. Last year she
went out into the fields and homes of
Polk county, selected, collected and
arranged an exhibit, and with it took
first place in the Polk county division'
and. highest in the state at the state
fair, and also sweepstakes at the
Northwest Land Products exhibit at
Seattle, with five counties competing
from each of the three northwestern
states, Oregon, Washington and Ida
ho. Mrs. Braden is interested in ag
riculture, . horticulture, county fairs
and numerous other things but above
alt she is a community booster At
present she is busily circulating a
petition asking the state legislature
to establish a state-owned and oper
ated lime plant for the production
of ground, lime-stone, at cost, for ag
ricultural use.
Mrs,. Braden was nominated, by
Frank Coad. W. V. Fuller, the new
president, made a speech and second
ed the nomination. He said: "I am
going to second this nomination but
in doing so I wish it clearly under
stood that my action is prompted not
by any fault whatsoever with Secre
tary Loughary or bis work. Last year
Mrs. Braden received about $40 a
month, for 9 months, for her services
on the fair board. We cannot secure
work such as she accomplished for
that remuneration, again, and as the
fair is one of the most important fea
tures of commerciajcJuhwotk, ' it
seems better to consolidate and have
one secretary for both the fair asso
ciation and, the commercial club; I
therefore ' second the' nomination. ' '
Mr. Ijoughary moved that the choice
be made unanimous and the motion
carried. 1 " '"' ' ' ' "'
The reports of the secretary and
treasurer for the past year Were post
poned until the' next regular' meeting
of the whole club; "
U. S. Loughary was elected to fill
the vacancy in the board of directors,
caused by Mr. Fuller's removal to the
president's chair. Tracy Staats of
fered to resign from the board be
cause he was a member of the city
council. He said that matters might
come up in which the two bodies
might conflict. His resignation was
not accepted., ' ''.
The Dallas' National bank, repre
sented by Eugene Hayter, was chosen
treasurer of the club,
The board of directors ss it now
stands includes: N., L. Guy, U. 8.
