CLUB CLOSES YEAR IN GOOD CONDITION Several Clianes Siiificoslod f r (iootl of the Club Trusters F.leeted antl Ofllcers Report. The hii until meeting of the Commer cial Club was hold Thui'sly evetiiiiR wlto a moderate aueutlanee. 1 he ou ject of the meetlue was to elont seven tiuatees for tbe ensuing year. The reports of the secretary ami treasurer were read and accepted. Tbe follow ing were elected trustees: Truman Butlef, V. O. Brock, Coo. K. Wil liams, J. L. llend 'rsoii, l' A. Cram, 11. r. uavldHOu and A. I. .Mod The club closes its year iu the bet oonditlou aince tbe organization was started. All bills are paid and there Is a balance hi both the generul und advertising Minis, una bliowmg is especially gratifying to the out :oing board, aa their successor: may t-tai t with clean sheet. following the election of trustees. an Informal talk was indulged In re garding the changing of the meeting night, the adrisibil'ty uf lowering the dues, aud plans tor the lutiire. V. U. llrock staled tu it the regular monthly meeting for members was h'ld on Tuesday evening, which con flicted with other meetings ou the same night and would like to see the general mee lug held on the same night of tbo tnit-tees' imc-ti ig. It of ten happened that there Mia nothing to bring tbe members out ou the spe olal night, while at the regular uight for the trustees' meeting there would be sure to be some ut.u there, and also some matters of general interoht. this met with general favor, and it wag left to tbe trustees to do as they saw lit. Tbe question of malting t ho titles ?1 or $U a year was ditcussoil with much interest. Mr. Outbank thought it advisable to mttki tho dues as light as possible, as he bad found it dilliotilt to collect from a good many ou that ground. Mr. Butler thought that it was best to have an amount stillicleiit to have a little surplus instead ot being barely able to make both ends meet, us it would make It much easier for the club to do busiuess if they could pay as they went along. While it was a fact that the burden of the work and expense of the club fell ou a few, and the whole city aud country received like beuotit, yet it was one ot those matters which the few could not afford to drop just becaii.se the many beueuttetl would not do their share. He was in favor of keeping tbe dues wheie they were. Mr. Uoir said that he hud lived lu Albany, Ore., for sixteen yeurs, and It was only in the last five years that they had had a commercial body. Before that tbe town was divided into factions, aud on this account, with no eUeeiive organization to woik to gather for the good of the city, they bad lost many opportunities of secur ing public bouebts, new i ml iihI i ich, etc. Since the organization of the business men's association, many old feuds hail been patched up, and the city was enjoying many advantages through tbe ell oris of the association which they would nevei-liavo hail. He thought that the club here Hbonld be keot up at any cost. Alt. 1 ill said that an occasional luiiioiiet was held at Albany and this tuotight out aud kept Into line many who could not be reached iu any other way. It also developed better social relations be tween the business men. Mr. lirngg heartily endorsed the bauuuet idea, an 1 suggested that a banquet be given at the installation of the new members, and invitations extended to the Imsine.- n oti and those iu tbo count iy who a e interest ed and help iu tbe promoting ot the interests of tbe city aud valley. That an Invitation be extended to Tom Richardson of Portland, antl perhaps some others who would help enthuse the meeting. Mr, Booth favored the btuquut and also any other' movement that would get tbe people interested. He favored rather an increase of dues.uud a more active rrganization. Ho was dissatis fied with tbe lack of Interest shown in tbe past, and thought that tho club ought to have a better moral suppo t. Ine following committee was ap pointed by the president to arrange Vor a bainuet: 11. I''. Davidson. J. 8. llooth, (I. K. Williams, K. O. Blanchar, li. 11. llragg. Following are tho officers' reports: Nerretary's Report. To the Officers aud Members of tho Hassalo Commercial Club: The year just brought to a close has been the inoi-t important iu Iwnelits in tbe historv of the club, The Lewis and Clark fi-ir udded to the duties of the club aud opportunities for adver tising the country, and. the opportu nity was well tatteu advantage of. To meet tbe demnnd lor literature. 700 small paruplile g were printed and dis tributed, bud luler 10,tW largor pamphlets were ptintid, most of which have been placid in the hands of Eastern people who wanted to know something 1, lout the advertising of Hood Kivcr. Various nowspaper and inugazlue advertising propositions have been taken up and considered, but only one whs accepted, that of the Port land Telegram. While there would have been probably some beuelits de rived from all of them, yet there were not funds available to take them all, and tbe excessive cost, amounting in one instance to $-,501), made them prohibitive. Uood and euective work was doue by tbe club in calling together tbe citizens to meet with Representative Jayne In drafting bills for Die amend ment of tbe city charter, which has enabled tbe city council to pass a sewer ordinance with less chance of defeat, and also gives power to so.l bonds for public improvement. The club was also in-trumeiital iu starting tbe fight fur Cascade county, which was so ably managed by our represen tative, assisted by the committee, and although defeated, kept Uood Uiver in the lime light during tbe w hole ses sion of the leg slature.

HIGH SCHOOL FOR THEVALLEY MANY ADVANTAGES TO SUCH PLAN Advocated by Supt. e(T and Prof. Wi ley Would be Economical and Bring Desirable Residents to Hood River. The time is fast coming when tbe scho.il facilities of tbe valley will be taxed to their utmost and in order to be prepared foi an emergency It would seem that tho best idea is to take hold of the matter now and not wait until there is no provision for tbe education of pupils in the higher grades. A plan advocated by Supt. Neff and endorsed by Prof. Wiley, aa outlined iu au article printed below, ia to have a central high school located at Uood River, which will be amnlv lanra euough to accomodate tbe pupils of the advanced grades throughout the valley. The cost of an educational system ot this kind would be reduced to a minimum, by the large number wbo would share the expense, and the comprehensive scope of its education al fea 11 res would lie widened to an ex tent that can be done in no other way. The prestige thut would aoorue to Hood River aud its environment through the maintenance of a high school (hat would be second to none iu the stuto, would mnuy times com pensate tho taxpayers for anv outlav of money spent this way. There is probably no way to attract tbe t etter class of citizens to a town or oity than through ita schools. There is no Question moie near to the heart of every good American citizen than the education of his children. A 'lue school for tbe higher grades, coupled witb the many other attrac tions and advantages of tho Hood River valley would be the means of bringing the most desirable class of residents that could be had to this section of country. In discussing tbe matter Prof. Wi ley says : "believing much of tbe aucceaa In fruit and berry raising In Uood River valley to be duo to tbe eagerness with which 01, r people in general seem to stick after the very best methoda and the persistency with which our local papers koop the people reminded of . our advantages aud tbe successful tale of our fruits, I am prompted to tele space to present some thoughts ou the school outlook. "We all know how well and favor ably known ia our valley for the fer tility of soil, tho abundance of fruit and the beauty of its farm homes. We are as particularly favored with regard to educational advantages If we but rise to the occasion. " W have no teas than 11 va d lair lots, triyng as bast we can to keep oar boys and girls at home and give them a High school education. Wouldn't it be a wiser plan instead of building on to our crowded buildings to make room for one or two high school grades, taught by an over worked principal, to unite and build one large, modern, uptodate High Sohool building and employ none but spe cialists as teachers? "Superintendent Ackeiman has re peatedly said iu dilfereut parts of tbe state that no section in tbe whole state presents so many conditions fa vorable to consolidation of sohool dis tricts as Hood River valley. The dis tricts adjoining Newberg have consol idated and bring tbe children to school iu large covered wagons at the expense of the district. Can we not choose a location for a high sohool and provide some means of transpor tation? Why uie not our boys and girls entitled to justaag-od advan tages aud opportunities as the boys and girls in Portland or anywhere elsei Let's have one school board, une city or valley superintendent, (and when Cascade county is organ ized iu January 1!K)7, make the county and the valley superintendent one and the same oltlce) and one oentral high school. This suggestion has bean heartily endorsed by Superintendent Ackeruiau, Superintendent Neff, Su perintendent Landers and all other educators to whom it has been pre sented as "The Ideal Condition." "We would be surpassed by no schools in tho state, not even Portland, for wo would expect to have Borne strictly lirst class superintendent of a wide aud successful experience equal to our best city superintendents. "Our present consolidation law, to my mind, provides for just what we need. If the consolidation plan doesn't suit everybody's idea then lot's have a valley high sohool estab lished by popular vots and malntaiued by tbe valley taxpayers just as tbe five county high schools of the state are now maintained. "This is not a plea to get a fine new high school building for the Hood River city schools, have the valley pay for it aud assume our present in debtedness. We will pay our indebt edness as fust as the bonds are due, consolidation or no consolidation. We have now an enrollment in our high school of 00 and more than 40 in tbe 8th grade and have oo'.tem'lated a full four years course next year with 100 pupils, but why not join inter ests? Lot's talk aud agitate tbe ques tion till our ideal ia reached, then we can watch "our valley" and not tho Washington city grow, for nothing will do more to bring us the desirable homeseekors than these school condi tions. They can be brought about before another year if we want them. They are coming soon, why not have them next year?" Extending Line to Joseph. The O. Ii. & N. Is extending ita lines to Joseph.
