movement OF the city for some time and
the older local. the n. A. Steamftters,
thought that they would take an oppor-

we're active for the good OF the cause
also.
The body has recently taken on a large
amount OF activity and last evening gave
what rs likely TO be one of a series OF
entertainments TO get themselves fairly
and sduarely before the public.
The idea had been I'm prominence for
some time and the committee had been
working TO that end. Considerable talent
was gotten together for the entertain
ment last evening and having made the
affair known among their friends there
were number OF them on hand last
evening at Labor Temple TO enjoy the
program.
This was extended and varied so that
there was something OF enjoyment for
each one OF those who attended. For those
who desired IL there was oratory. For
those preferring II there WAS music, and
for others there was dancing skits, caus-
Ing much favorable comment.
The program OF the affair was very
attractive and there was not one on hand
who could say that he was given any
thing but a good time. The singing by
the talent was excellent as was the per-
formance OF every individual taking part.
Some out OF town guests were on hand
also and proved attractive takers and en-
tertainers.
The meeting was huge success and
only speaks the general activity which is
moving the local at this time. and which
will make II resume it's place among the
most lourishing organizations Of the city
