CHAMBER or COMMERCE..

Tonight at the Court house the
Grand Junction Chamber of Commerce
will hold its meeting for organization.
The committee ON membership have
secured the signatures of 100 citizens
and this makes most formidable
array to start off the organization.
At the meeting tonight a regular
organization will be affected and a
board of directors elected. This board
will elect its officers for the first year.
With the number of names secured Tor
membership, the Chamber of Com
merce should start off swimmingly.
There is much to be accomplished be-
fore the work of the chamber is in
swing and it is urged upon those that
have signed that they be present this
evening and help organize. There
is being much interest taken in the
organization and as there is great
deal of campaign work to do this
spring in securing large immigra-
tion it is to be hoped that every indi
vidual who has signed for membership
will be on hand to do his part.

Christian Church
Choir Chimes.

Home talent entertainment; in
churches are not always the most in
teresting and rou sing types of amuse-
ment imaginable. The unskilled.
but much beloved children of the con-
gregation often make their first public
appearance in these entertainments
and their lisps and monotone and
jerky gest ures bring sorrow into the
mind rather than joy. Barring of
course the minds of immediate par
ents. Even songs and duets ON the
piano provided by these amateurs
culled from the PASTORS flock for pull
pit exhibition are frequently dull to
say the least and cause many an en-
forced smile and round of applause.
But not so last night at the Christian
church. 1t was different there. They
were amateurs to be sure but thev
were entertainers of the agreeable
sort Notwithstanding.
The choir of the chucrh had the
concert in charge. For the we'll Sc
lected and diversified program. much
credit is due them. There were two
pianos on the platform so that there
was ample provisionSforsadequate ac-
compartment as well as the music it
self. The uuartette consisting of
Messrs. Hutton, Boyer. ELeslie and
Bacon gave an unusually fine rendi-
tion of Rocked in the Cradle of the
Deep The Misses Hoover in pan
tomime acting Of sacred songs were
cry graceful. Miss Cartmel as the
accompanies and the predominating
figure on the piano did her share of
the program in a highly creditable
manner. All the numbers were ex-
ceedingly good and are deserving of
much praise.

Republican Ticket
To Be Put Up.

The republicans of the citv have
reached the determination to place n
straight ticket in the field for the
coming municipal election. This de-
termination was arrived at during a
caucus held last night at the Court
house. where about fifty republicans
had gathered to talk over the situa-
tion
W. s. Phillips, manager of the
Book Cliff railway was made chair
man of the meeting and w. l.. Mulkey
secretary.
The chair presented the object of
the meeting to the placing of a
straight republican ticket in the field.
The matter was discussed by Messrs.
G.. J. Carpenter. George Smith. A. Q.
Newton and others. but only one sem
timent prevailed and that was that
the republican party, as a party
should place full ticket in the field
aud work for its success.
1t seemed to be the sentiment of the
meeting that the question of the
municipal ownership of the electric
light plant should be left to the
voters themselves and that as party
no stand would be taken upon the
mat fer, it being the desire of the
meeting to eliminate the question of
municipal ownership of the electric
lighting from politics and permit the
voters to stand untrammeled in the
matter.
1t was decided to hold the primaries
on February 9th and the convention
for the nomination of the ticket on
Thursday the 18th.
An important step taken by the
caucus was the determination to per-
nit each ward to select its own alder
men.
