W. As a committee entruste with such duty Dr. Carter, William Stewart ana It. A. J)onamon were named. President Bahnsen said it should be a great source of satisfaction to the club to know of the passage by the senate of the appropriation of tow 000 for the building of a small arms factory at Koek Island arsenal, an en terprise that would be of inestimable beneiit to the surrounding communi ties. Mr. Bahnsen ' said Koek Island ueeded more dwellings, too. r. A. lleail suggested that a course of action looking to the incieasing of the membership be planned. I here were over ISO belonging now, and there was no reason, in Lis opinion whv each one could not secure a new member.

Connelly. S. S Davis and II. P. Simpson as a com mi I tee on membership, to report at the next meeting, when their duties will cease, ami a new committee will le named. President Hahnsen stated that he had noticed an article in Tim Alters chronicling the fact that President McKinlev proposed visiting Peor and possibly (ialesburir, during the coming season, and he believed Koek island should endeavor to in duce him to come here, if for nothing more than to look over the great gov eminent manufacturing plant here.
