A committee composed of H. A. White. Rev. W. H. North and 1. A. Nelson were appointed to look atfer the matter. In order that the money to finance same would not come from the coffers of the Commercial club, several members announced their will­ingness to assist in raising the sum needed. , .

The potato proposition ,wa«i dropped for this season at least, as the board of directors found that the farmers showed very little interest in the

^No^report was made by the com­mittee ona fair, L. O. Wessel stating that none was readv as y^; although it was certain a fair of some kind -would be held.

Farmers and gardeners may also sign these contracts at N. N. Berg­heim's office, the Victor Clothing company store and the F. A. Nelson photograph studio.

HOW'D YOU LIKE TO HAVE STOCK IN THIS COMPANY?

Lynn Haines contributes an article entitled "Probing the Pullman Com­pany ' to the May American magazine in which Le says:

"During tbe ten years from 1899 to 1908 inclusive, total dividends were paid to stockholders amounting to $51,665,848. It is interesting to relate these millions of profits to the original investment Deducting an annual dividend return of ten per cent on tho $28,000,000 for that decade, and a ten per cent dividend on the $20,000,000 of stock issued to buy the Wagner concern for the same period, or $2,000,-000, we still have $46,865,848 ot dividends for ten years, which would represent nearly 50 per cent of profit on tbe original $100,000 of capital stock.''

CATTLE AND CONSUMPTION TO BE DISCUSSED. •

Important evidence in the world* wide controversy with regard to tbe relation of bovine to human tuber-closis will be given next week at tbe sixth annual meeting of the National Association for tbe Study and Preven­tion ot Tuberculosis, which will be held in Washington on May 2d and 3d. J)r. William H. Park, the noted pathologist, head of the laboratories of the New York Department of Health, will present the results of years of investigation, which, it is understood, will go far to settle the "question of the transmissability of tuberculosis from cattle to man.

One of the most interesting reports of the meeting will be that of the executive secretary, Dr. Livingston Farrand, showing the growth of the anti-tuberculosis movement since May 1, 1909. The number of associations for the prevention of consumption has increased from 290 to 425; the number of sanatoria and hospitals for the treatment of tuberculosis from 298 to 400; and tbe special tuberuclosis dispensaries trorn 222 fo 265. Dur­ing the year 1909, thirty-six out of forty-three legislatures in session con­sidered tbe subject of tuberculosis, and in twenty-eight, bills wsre passed for the prevention or treatment of this disease. Since the opening of the legislatve season of 1910, out of ten legislatures in session up to May 1, all have considered the subject of tuberculosis and every one of them has enacted some law that bears on his subject.

Loiss of Interest in Work of the Organization is

the Cause

The Women's Civic legue of this city disbanded at a meeting called for this purpose at the home of Mrs. W. E. Penfield last Friday afternoon, loss of interest in the work of the legue being the cause.

It has had quite a good member­ship throughout its existence, how­ever, and has done considerable for the public good during the several years of its . career. Am6ng the things which it secured for this city was a small park or resting place between tbe Broadway bridge and the dam on the east bank of the river, the fountain at the court house corner, another park on First street northeast, lawn-seats about the court-bouse and parks, etc. Until the organization of the Oakland Cemetery association last summer according to an act passed at the last session of the legislature, the league had a separate fund to take care of and make improvements at Oakland cemetery. The balance in this fund was placed to the credit of tbe cemetery association. The treasury of tbe league showed a balance of $33.75 on hand at tbe time of disband­ing, and this has been turned over to the library board to purchase books -with. The First street lawn seats were also turned over to the library.

This work will now probably devolve upon the Commercial club.
