TO AnVKKTISE COUNCIL IILUIWS. Stilijcct IN Connlilurca by M mill MfimifiietiirerH' AMHoc The principal subject brought up for dis cussion nt the regular monthly meeting of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' associa tion last night was the * best method' to bo adopted by the organization to properly ad vertise Council Bluffs. A nilmber of differ ent plans were suggested , three especially meeting with most favor by those of the members present. Ono plan suggested was for the business nien of the city to use a short but de scriptive wrltcup of the city , showing Its advantages as a railroad and manufacturing center , on the backs of their letterheads and envelopes. This , It was stated , could bo done without any material expense to the association and tha cost of printlngUhls i-dvortlslng matter would add but llttlo to the price of the stationery used by busi ness houses. This method advertising , It was claimed , would probably be moro productive of results than any other. Another plan proposed was to have a small folder printed , containing a wrlteup of the city -and n map showing In a promi nent manner Council Bluffs and the different railroads running In and out of It. This plan , H was stated , was most favored by the largo Implement houses of the city , who would In the course of "their business cor respondence distribute largo numbers i of them all over the country. Some objection to the plan , however , was made on behalf of the ordinary business men , who , it was claimed , would find It too much trouble every tlmo he wrote n letter or mailed n bill to cncloEO ouo of the folders , the or dinary merchant not having the clerical force emnlovcd In the larco implement houses. A third plan that mot with favor waste to have descriptive wrltcups of the city In serted In the leading newspapers , but after Bomo discussion It was practically decided that the plan would provo too expensive fur the assoclalton. In connection with this plan Secretary Judson state'd th'at ho had Bent a 1,000-word wrltcup of the city to ono of the leading Chicago papers nnd ho had lo- celvcd assurance that the same would be published within the next two weeks. The secretary also reported that several of the railroads had agreed to give Council Bluffa more or less frco advertising epaco In their folders and different publications. After 'tho question had been moro or less thoroughly discussed It was decided to post- pnno action until the next icgulur meeting , 'when n much larger attendance is looked for and moro general expression of opinion can bo obtained , A resolution wns .adopted niithorlzlng the consolidation of the committee on arbitra tion and legislation and on taxation , Insur ance nnd municipal affairs , At a hieotlng held after the session of the association Prank T. True was elected chairman of the consolidated committees , The appointment' nf three delegates t ° the Transmlsslsslppl congress , which meets In Wichita , Kan. , May 31 to Juno 3 , was loft with tha. president nnd secretary of the association1. The general sentiment ex pressed was that the association should bo represented at the congress. As the last gathering round tbo banquet board 'at the Grand hotel had been such a success nnd brought together a largo num ber of representative business * men of the city , It was decided to hold th < j nexj. regu lar monthly session of the association { here , accompanied < by a spread. Secretary Judson made a report on tbo project to raise a fund for giving bonuses for sugar beet growing. Ho stated that $250 of the $600 required had already been subscribed and ho did not anticipate any diniculty In securing the balance. Since the announcement had been made that the association was prepared to give bonuses , a number of farmers in the vicinity of the cty | had notified Secretary Jiujson of their Intention to plant from ten to twenty-live acres-In baets thlg season.

The twenty-eighth annual convention of the National Associa tion of Steve Manufacturers was largely at tended again today and the chief topic was the organization of the proposed trust. It Is thought that this combine would include about 200 plants and that the small foundries would thus bo compelled to quit.

Baker , the promoter nnd attorney from Philadelphia , representing eastern capitalists , the Interest has centered more around this trust commit tee than In the proceedings of the conven tion. It 1 now thought that the committee will soon bo able to present Its data to the Baker ( syndicate nnd thnt option blanks will soon afterward bo mailed to all the largo -manufacturers of the country. While only the temporary arrangements for the stove trust have been made at this meeting , yet It Is generally believed that the combina tion will bo completed.

Castle , Qulncy ; James Dwyer , Detroit ; H. B. Acker , New York ; A. N. Parlln , Bos ton ; Edward Bowdltch , Albany ; W. AV. Bald win , Cleveland , and others , with many prop ositions for changes.
