tho most Important being tho irri

son, ono of tho directors of the dis

additional information as to prbgresa
than had been told before. However,
others discussed Irrigation in a gen

M. Faulkner who had visited Lake

Qooso Lake project has rccontly bean
Inntallod. Mr. Faulkner was Inform
ed by people over ther that tho cropa

Tho fair was also given nomo con

A business session of the club was,

what It should have bean.' However,
those who did attend showed a lively
Interest In the affairs under discus

taken upon subjects of particular Im
portance. Tho 11 rat matter to consider nt tho

Ity of employing n paid secretary. It
was thought prosont conditions did
not warrant it high salaried man to

porary secretary would answor tho
purposu until things developed moro.
Charles W. Ellis was elected to act aa
secretary for the present.
It was necessary to hunt up somu
