Hut fw nnl.lin . . . . . . t- meetings have beeu held to take up new matters, tbe most impotant beina the work now in progress ot canvas sing tbe city and valley in tbe inter est of tbe division of the oountv. This matter Is proKressina verv satis factorily, there having been about 800 signatures obtained lo date, with the prospect ot running tbe list up to 1,0UU. The benefits of work done in tho past, and especially last y ar. In a systematic advertising of Hood River valley, is being felt evciy day. There is scarcely a mail but v. ha' brinus in quiries about Hood River from all over tbe Unit' d States. To answer these inquiries takes oousiderable time, but in nearly every cat the geueral information sought can bn answered along general lines, and to this end use is made of tbe pamphlets issued by tbe olub. Tbe books that were issued last year, of wbicb 10.000 were printed, nave all been distnbut- ed, and a new issue was eotten out in tbe early fall. These were put up in convenient form for mailing in an or dinary envelope, the descriptive mat ter covreing our resources, and ad vantages, witn a lew cuts, ibeee are being used to good advantage. Many of tbe business places have tbem on hand to give to strangers who visit our city, and they are also placed witb tbe information bureaus at Port land. Tbe result of this work alone bene fits every member of tbe club in au indirect way, and amply'repays tbe i-oai ui maintenance oi Ibe club, commercial club have become a nec essity aud a permanent organization of every live city in these streDuouS times, anu tne largely Increased mam iiersnip of this body the past year snows cuouuenoe among our own peo ple of tbe good that cao bo aceomn. lished.
