Proper Scope of Chamber.
There is considerable discussion as to
the proper scope OF the Chamber Of
Commerce. whether it should confine its
energies exclusively to things eomn;er-
ciaI and industrial, or in fact combine
the scope as well as the strength OF
the two organizations. and assume
guardianship over ell civic matters, Of
whatsoever nature, in so far as they
directly affect the citizen.
Upon this question II is understood
that no decision has beeen reached, but
that in the recent meeting strong senti-
ment prevailed that The Chamber of
Commerce should be broad in its am
bition and general in its field, exerting
its energies slong lines that viii pro-
duce the greatest good to the greatest
number OF WashiT gtGnians. 1t was
pointed out at that time BY several
members OF the committee that as It
would be difficult 10 draw the line be-
tween subjects commercial and semi
commercial. and as that after all every
progressive step OF the municipality
must carry with it a corresponding
commercial progress. the Chamber Of

itself generally IN civic prosperity.

John Doe and F. Nelson We're two
.workmen who toyed with the cup that
cheers last night and had TO be cared
for by tho police This morning they
were able TO demonstrate to Justice
Ryan that they had work to go to and
they were discharged with a caution,
and away they went joyfully to their
labors
1t was not so with Albert Jenson. he
had no work and did not appear to
care whether he labored or not, but
that feeling will probably be dispelled
after he has worked under the super
vision of the street commissioner for
four days. He was cleaning mud off
the streets at high pressure this after
noon and his demeanor was such at
the beginning that he will be made to
understand that working in a chain
gang is no snap. Chief Wade has
learned that there is plenty of work
and men are badly wanted and loafers
will be given no quarter in the city Of
