by Municipal Dirt Society.

The annual dinner of the Municipal Arts Society
was held at the National Arts Club, No. 81 West
Thirty fourth-st. last night. The banquet hall was
decorated with flowers and hangings, and ono hun
dred members of the society and their guests were
present. The subject discussed THE desira-
bility of the appointment by the city government
OF a commission to plan and report on municipal
improvements"
Calvin Tompkins. president OF the society. pre-
sided, and acted POSTMASTER
Mr.. Tompkins said that the municipal growth of
the city in the last century had tended to oustrip
capacity for municipal organization, and that the
three most important functions of city govern
ment were provision for order service and growth
He advocated the appointment Of a city commits
sion on plans which would control all contem-
plated improvements. This would relieve the city
officials of responsibility, and develop a public
opinion which would discriminate between neces-
sary and merely desirable improvements. He
suggested that a non-salar1ed commission OF cit
liens should be appointed without delay to con-
slider improvements and report TO the Board OF
Estimate and AppOrtionment."
Mr.. Lamb and Professor Hamlin spoke on the
necessity OF the appointment Of the commission
and declared ii was the duty of the National Arts
Society to provide for such contingency. Pro-
fessor Hamlin thought the committee should not
receive pay.

on his fine farm south of town and in
spite of this being an off fruit year will
rank tn the best in any country. Mr..
Kohler is aware that apples and pears
don't grow in a printers back yard and
is willing to let others share in his
abundance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fet Rhoades we're in

CHRONICLES changed to Sites to which
place he moved his family Wednesday.
For the present they will board but will

road while Charlie Albin will have
charge of the work on the prairie. We
wish Fet the best of success in his new
location and can recommend him and
his family to the citizens of Sites as
royal good people.

Viii address the Citizens Wednesday
evening at the Hall.
EXPLAIN AORM0N pLANK
He will be accompanied by Mormon
who will also Talk.

The people Of Cottonwood and
vicinity will be given a treat next
Wednesday evening, October 9th,
when Senator Fred T. Dubois will
address them on the topics Of the
day at the Odd Fellow hall. SEN
ator Dubois is gifted speaker and
one to whom it will be a pleasure
to listen AS he is directly respon-
sible for the introduction of the
Mormon plank in the democratic
state platform, which has caused
such widespread discussion, his
talk will most probably be along
that line and the voters of this
section who are not posted on that
question should not miss hearing
it explained. Senator Dubois will
be accompanied by w. H. Stalker,
a Mormon by birth, who will also
deliver an address and explain con-
ditions politically in the south
eastern part of the state and show
the eject the Mormon church has
on politics in that section. AS the
republicans will doubtless make
= great play on what they term the
Dubois question" this campaign
it would be well for every voter to
hear the reason for the introduce
ton of the Mormon plank in the
state platform and not be compell-
ed to form delusive conclusions
later.
Senator Dubois and Mr.. Stalker
have been campaigning in the
northern part of the state where
the senator issued sweeping chal.
lenge to both Mr.. Gooding and Mr..
Fairbanks, republican candidate
for vice president, to meet him in
a joint debate on the Mormon ques-
ton. The challenge has not yet
been accepted and is not likely to
be. However the question will be
thoroughly discussed and explain
ed here next Wednesday evening
and no voter should miss hearing
it. Turn ont, everybody, and give
the senator rousing meeting.

Three tramps attempted to hold
up Japanese section crew near
Blackfoot Sunday and killed the
foreman and deputy sheriff who
tried to arrest them. One of the
hold-ups was also shot by people
who tried to capture him but his
accomplices escaped.
A fire which started in the old
Boston mill building at Lewiston
Tuesday evening destroyed that
building, planning mill and the
old Masonic hall together with
most of the contents of the build
ings and came near to spreading to
the buildings on Main street. The
fire was of incendiary origin and
destroyed property to the value Of
about $4,000. The fire companies
did good work in keeping the FIRE
from spreading to Main street and
doing further damage.
Opening day, October s, will see
the finest parade ever put on in
Spokane by one of the annual fairs.
The Interstate fair this year will
make this parade something un.
usual. 1t seems some $11OO was
left over two or three years ago by
some Fourth of July committee
which did not have use for all the
funds which had been raised for it.
The fair has secured the consent Of
most of the subscribers that this
money be used by the fair. 1t has
been decided to put it into some
thing elaborate in the way of pa
rade. This probably will be in the
nature of historic and pioneers
paradox teams, prairie schoon-
ers, cowboys, hunters and Indians.
This will be novel, interesting and
instructive.
