CHAMBER TO HOIiD
NA ASS NIETINC
BUSINESS MEN AND FARMERS
URGED TO ATTEND SESSION
OF ORGANIZATION.
Hamilton, Dec. 22.-(Special.)-A
mass meeting of the members of the
Hamilton Chamber of Commerce will
be held tomorrow evening for the
purpose of launching the "Service"
campaign of the organization. It Is
the plan of the chamber to bring the
farmer and the business man into
closer co-operation, and as a means
to this end Secretary Dixon has
mailed a circular letter to all the
farmers and business men of the dis
trict in which he puts before them
the new campaign of the chamber of
commerce. The meeting tomorrow
evening Is the first gun In the cam
paign, and at that time the plans of
the organization will be made plain
to every person present: Mr. Dixon's
letter follows:
"My Dear Sir-Does the fact that
service is the slogan of the chamber
of commerce of Hamilton for 1914
mean anything to you? We believe
it does, if we have a chance to ex
plain, and for that reason are writ
ine you.
ing you.
"Have you ever stopped to con
aider why there is a chamber of com
merce or some sort of a commercial
club in every progressive city of the
west'! And why also the east is
awakening to all appreciation of the
talue that such an lnstitution nay
be to a community?
"It is because it is possible for a
chamber of commerce to trovide the
kind of actual service to a coiniun
fty that can not be performed with
at the same prestige and :;ccess by
y other institution,
"You have a chaoi l-r of comtmOrce
ere, and we assume youl want it to
fulfill a real mission--to do, and keep
on doing, something of benefit to this
particular locality- your omn, by the
way.
f "Hamilton possesses the finest
home for its chamber of commerce
of any city in Montana-but, in pro
portion to its population, furnishes
the least membership. Do you know
that it has been trying to exist and
perform its functions on less than GIl
members, only half of whom are up
to date in their support of it? Think
of that!
"We shall not ask you to join its
in our work until we have set forth
our plans; but we want evetutoally
the farmers, as well as the business
incn, to get behind the movement
that we have started.
"We propose to conduct a public
ity campaign for the Bitter Hoot
valley that will be of substantial and
permanent value to the farmers, even
tgore than the business man.
"Our first stroke in this direction
was to make an exhibit of McIntosh
Red apples at the Sixth National ap
ple show, which, as you know, Woel
the abig first prize for the most at
tractive display of apples, the most
Important award offered. utl next
was to give the greatest possible ad
vertisement to tilts supremacy of
Bitter Root valley apples, not only
here, but in newspapers and maga
zines elsewhere.
"Our next move was to exploit in
like manner the fact that the Mon
tanta exhibit, composed largely of
Bitter Root valley apples won the
first prize medal for the choicest
varieties of apples displayed at the
exposition of the Ambrican Pomolog
11al society.
"Our reason for pushing this pub
licity Is that wve believe by persist
ent effort it will mean ultimately
thousands of dollars to the growers
here by the creation of special mark
ets and otherwise. -
"By developing every opportunity
for beneficial advertisement honestly
and then hammering away Ineessent
ly we expect to provide service to
the farmers as well as the business
men of the Bitter Root valley that
will be of considerably more value
to them than the amount of money
they lhavr invested in it. We have al
ready produced results as you will
observe in the local newspapers.
"We propose to provide an alto
getlier different kind of Mervice to
the farmers especially, too. Not only
is our building thrown open to meet
ings of farmers' organizations and
farmers' institutes, but we contem
plate giving, free of charge to our
members, four lectures during the
winter season, each one illustrated
by 50 stereopticon slides, the sun
jects being: 1, "The Development of
Agriculture;" 2, "Dairying;" :, "Pre
paring the Seed Bed;" 4, "Fertiliza
tion of the Foil."
"In addition to this, we are ar
ranging to have presented in the lo
cal motion picture houses, free to our
members, tvo motion picture plays,
showing the introduction of modern
methods of farming, entitled: 1,
"Back to the Old Farm;" 2, "The
Evolution of Harvesting."
"This is just the beginning. We
also plan to have all of our farmer
members receive regularly each
month 1vithout trouble or expense to
them all of the agricultural bulletins
and publications obtainable from the
department of agriculture, and such
other printed matter as can be se
cured elsewhere, which are applicable
to conditions in this locality.
"For Instance, the booklets that we
will have sent out the first month
from the department of agriculture
are: 1, "The Agricultural Outlook;"
2, "The Potato-Tuber Moth:" 3,
"Promising New Fruits." Besides
this, from another source, we will
have mailed out, "Tile Golden
Stream," a plain, everyday textbook
on the many phases of dairying.
"And still another sort of service
is a part of our program. We have
already established an employment
bureau to which the farmers and the
business men can turn 'when they
need help in a hurry,

building and the fire extngulshed
without any damage being done. A
small blaze was also discovered early
yesterday morning under the range at
the H. H. Spaukling hpme on the same
street. A snall hole was burned in the
floor, but no other damage was done
It was not necessary to turn in an
alarm.
