Dinner Proves Pleasant Affair.
A creamery is almost certain to be
established in Laramie in the very near
future, and it seems almost as certain
that the plant here and the one now in
course of erection at Walden will be
operated by the same company. This
much was practically determined at
the ffty-cent dinner by the Laramie
Commercial club at the Presbyterian
church last night, when nearly 100 citi-
zens and members of the club were
present and many of them participat.
ed in the discussion of the matter.
More than half the required amount of
capital was subscribed within a few
minutes, and double the amount neces.
sary could have been raised had there
been no bar to the amount to be taken
by n individual. AS it was, a mo-
ton was adopted, limiting the amount
Of stock to be owned by one person to
800.
Dinner a Success.
The dinner was a great success from
every standpoint, and The Republican
cannot refrain at this point from plac-
ing the credit for the inception of the
present form of meeting with j. E.
Winslow, who first brought it to the
attention of this community through
the columns of this paper. The IDOL
lar dinners" of the club had been
quite successful, and attracted many
members and citizens. but the fifty.
cent idea was designed to be less for
NAL and more enjoyable In many ways.
An Excellent Menu.
The supper 8. rived by the ladies OF
the Presbyterian church was excellent
in every way. The menu was varied,
the viands well prepared and the din
ner we'll served. considering that the
ladies' were serving for the first time
in the basement of their new church,
with many disadvantages of the "pio-
neer'' in such matters. Not a member
of the party Of gentlemen, however,
but was willing to make every allow
ance for what few shortcomings we're
noticed, and these, it is certain, will
be overcome the next time these ladies'
are called upon to act as hostesses for
the club. The dinner was served in
the basement of the church, and at its
conclusion Chairman Simpson, who is
the vice president of the club, suggest
ed that each guest take his chair, like
the primary department Of the Sunday
school when 1t wants to meet with the
older children" and repair to the room
above, where there was ample space
and where the "~gabfest" which follow
ed the dinner was held.
Paper BY Mr.. E%sgIeston.
Mr.. Simpson presided and introduced
the speakers in their turn. Mr.. Eggles-
ton had the only paper, dealing with
the creamery proposition from its
most optimistic standpoint, and telling
what he believed could be accomplish
ed here. Mr.. Eggleston pointed out
the steady and growing demand in
Laramie for creamery PRODUCTS, the
large amount of money sent out an
nually for these products and the good
that would nNyno f1 tho o0Darnyy~tf "
could this vast sum be kept at home, to
be circulated in the hundred ways open
in the regular channels Of trade.
