The Overland club, which has been so
successfully organized by the young
men of Butte, VIII be formally opened
this evening by its members and their
gentlemen friends. Invitations to par
ticipate have been sent to the Silver
Bow and Ninety-SiN clubs and the
Young Mems institute of Butte and TO
the Montana and Lambs clubs of Hell
ena. 1t is a foresone conclusion that
the opening will be successful.
The orga nZaton of the Overland club
is decided victory for the young men
in Butte and they have demonstrated
their ability to carry any project that
they may interest themselves ill., to a
successful conclusion. Many efforts
have been made in the past to organize
clubs Of various kinds. but they have
met With disaster. 1t is this fact that
makes the victory of the organizers of
the Overland club seem greater than it
otherwise would.
The idea Of a club along the lines
OF the Silver Bow club orgina ted with
several young men about two months
ago, and after discussing the PROPOSE
ton at length. they came to the conclu-
sion that such IA club could be formed.
1t was then that the matter was agi-
tated and the work of canvassing for
members was commenced Owing to
previous failures. progress was slow.
but the orea niZation committee was
made up OF the right kind of material,
and the members perSevered until
enough signatures We're secured to dem
onstrate the feasibility of the idea.
Those who had signed the roll interest
ed themselves and every individual be-
came committee Of one on canvassing.
From this point the progress was rapid,
and it Was not long before suitable
location for the cluDrooms was being
Sought.
One o. the workers. who has a habit
of looking skyWardS when in deep
thought, happened to see a sign ito
let on the windows of the rooms over
the Oregon Short Line. on Main street.
and at once Went on a tour of investi-
cation. He found that the quarters
were admirably suited for a newly
formed club, and without waiting to
interview any of the other members
secured an option on the rooms When
the other members saw the rooms they
all agreed that they would be suitable
and lease was then secured.
-Four rooms. with the front one facing
on Main street, We're turned over to an
executive committee to he prepared for
clubrooms, and the committee entered
upon the discharge of the duties i'm
posed with a Zest that was commend
able. All of the rooms We're prettilv
papered and suitable furniture secured
and today there are no prettier club
rooms in the state. The room over

looking Main street has been converted
into paror and reading room. The
ti0or IS covered with a handsome car
pet and In the center stands a large
handsomely carved oak table, which is
covered With newspa pers and al lead
ing periodicals. Many expensive easy
chairs fill the room, and in one corner
a plaro attracts those who are must
cally inclined, and the cub has many
members of this kind. Lace curtains
adorr the front windows. Although the
club has been in existence only a short
time, the members find much pleasure
in this room.
The next room. Immediately back of
the parlor and opening from 1t by
means of wide arch draped with por-
there's, is devoted to card-p.aying and
writing. 1t is furnished with a hand
some carpet, light in color card tables,
writing tables and chairs
The next room immediately back of
the cardroom and opening from it by
a wide arch draped with portieres. is
devoted to billiards and pool The floor
is heavily carpeted and the room is fit
ted UP with one billiard table and one
pool table, both of which are generally
IN use. Chairs are provided for the
players and spectators
The fourth room is devoted to the

members. This room will be converted

little older and gives entertainments

The idea of forming the Overland club
| was to create gathering place for the
young men of the city. While it is along
similar lines to those of the Silver Bow
club, the latter is generally recognized as
! a club for the older residents. There is
| DO opposition in the matter for the MEM
| bers of the Silver Bow club have lent
every encouragement possible to the
| younger men and in many cases have sig
nitied their desire to become members
and still retain their membership in the
older club. The best feeling prevails be-
tween the two clubs, and the outlook is
| that they will frequently entertain one
another. Business men of the city have
expressed their satisfaction in regard to
| the new organization for they believe it
| will do much for the young men who are
single and incidentally be of value to
some of the married men. They predict
prosperous life for the club and will
! watch it's progress with much interest.
1t is composed of the best young men in
the city and is launched in the sea of
/ clubdOm under auspices that could not be
more favorable.
Its membership at the present time en-
ceeds 100 and applications are being re-
ceived at the rate of five per day. AT this
rate it will not be long before the men,
bership will equal that of the Silver Bow
club. The charter members We're:
