Something About
Commercial Club
An Exkcker Tells Some Interesting Truths About The
Excellent Organization Big Membership
New Lease OF Life

To those we say, join and investi-
gate and be an active live member,
boost but don't knock. What good
is it," A world of good-a live com
mercial club makes it's influence felt
more keenly than any city council or
city government Why? Because the
club is composed of all the best inter
ests of the town in which it is locat-
ed. The city administrations are more
than willing to please the people
whose servants they are. The city
council is more than willing to work
with and give the people what they
want. At the members meeting OF
the club which meets once month
every member can express his views
on different topics which are brot up
for discussion and where cit can be
truthfully said), we have our most
enthusiastic and profitable meetings.
We maintain mighty nice suite of
rooms which in itself is a wonder to
outsiders and splendid advertise
ment. Then every member is welcome
as the flowers in spring to spend his
leasure time there which can be EN-.
ployed in pleasant conversation or
social games of cards, such as whist,
euchre, cinch, checkers, chess, pool
and billiards. There is no betting or
gambling. Not any liquor of any kind
allowed in the club but on the tables
are the latest magazines and newspa.
pers, accompanied by comfortable
chairs and a pleasant afternoon or ev
ening may be spent. Tuesday evenings
are reserved for ladies and escorts.
This is designated 'Gadies night
where members may bring their
wives, sisters, daughters or sweet
hearts and enjoy the hospitality OF
the club, cards, pool, billiards and so
cial chats. The commercial club of
Minot is all right and the one ques-
ton ought to behave you joined
the commercial club?
Signed by an ex-kicker but now an
enthusiastic member.

The Commercial Club is progress
ing-all the committees are taking
hold of their respective duties. The
pass word-"Pull for Minot" seems to
have enthused the members Of the
club and they are doing it-President
Tracy seems to enthuse every one and
marked change has come over the
club. The new secretary, Frank
Youngman is tending strictly to his
duties as secretary and is increasing
the membership. Every eligible pros
pective member will be called upon to
join the club. There seems to be some
misunderstanding as to who is illig-
able. Any business man in the city
or any professional man or any man
employed in any manner in store,
shop, factory, offices, or any legiti-
mate labor is elegible-no one class
of men can build up city. 1t takes
the combined efforts Of all classes of
professions and labor. So for the good
of IMinot and Ward county it is hoped
to have a large membership. There
are three classes Of members. The
man in business, the men employed,
and the outside business men from
different towns. To the regular bust
ness and professional man, the mem
bership fee is $40 and $500 per month
dues or Sc per quarter To the men
employed, called "Social Members" a
membership fee of $500 is paid and 81
per month or SO per quarter is charged
for dues. Then there is the non-resi-
dent member. To this class belong
men who live in outside towns, but
have frequent business calls to Mi
not and who like to have a general
meeting place to transact business. To
those membership fee Of $500 is
charged and dues of so cents per
month or $3.50 per quarter. Then
there are our honor members COM
posed of our ministers and our news
papermen, both being real acquisi
tions to our mem bership. Many times
we are asked what good is the club?

prospective raise in the price of cop

ness. the president of a corporation
which is n considerable consumer of
the metal said 10 representative of
the Boston News:
We do not worry about the price
of copper. OF course IL Is going high
err. In my opinion il will be Is cents
a pound in February. More than
one-half of the worlds copper con-
sumption is in small factories and
shops The little fonnrries of our
country aud Europe use twice as
much copper. in the aggregate. as Is
worked up by great engineering cor
porations II Is the little fellows that
pay the high prices. Ny corporation
did not buy any copper to speake of
when IL got above 20 cents pound.
We bought largely at u 10 | s cents,
and after that We depended upon
from mines owned by directors in our
corporation.
As trade Is going. We are able 10
supply all the copper consumed by
our electrical factories. from our own
copper mines One of our copper
mines is doing so well in production
that we are doubling the smelling

The persistent effort of the intel
lectually lame, halt and blind of the
evening journal to drag the Ely
Townsite Co. into every matter of
local difference, fails of the sympathy
of the community. The latter UNDER
stands that If there is sore toe, a
singed cat stomach, a boil or a trou-
hlesome corn on the rump steak part
of the anatomy OF the editor of the
Grower, forthwith in the Office of
the GROWER the cause is fixed upon
the Townsite Co. Seriously speak
ing, II is of our knowledge that the
Grower knows that the Townsite Co.
had nothing to do with the petition
for the annulment of the Ely freight
depot order. As a matter of fact the
Ely Townsite Co. management has
on several occasions expressed its alb
solute opinion in this matter II
would have no objection whatever
to Ely getting 20 freight depots, and
is not or will not stand In the way,
in any manner, OF its getting the one

The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-12-10

II is a known fact that the petit
ton asking the annulment of the
freight depot order was circulated
among Aultman street business men
on Saturday night last. Many of
them knew of the petition and talked
about 1t Saturday night. Sunday and
Monday. In view of which it must
be exceedingly humiliating. Il nasty
dose of crow indeed, for even an al
legged newspaper TO find it necessary
to cover its tracks with the assertion
that 1t was so everlastingly dead to
the smell OF an important news item
that it let this talk pass and permit
ted itself to be played for a sucker
by alleged peddlers of false informa-
ton. The height of imbecility is dis
played, however. when the alleged
newspaper in its fearful and wonder
full fiounderings declares that the
parties to which it wrongly attaches
partial responsibility for the effort to
kill the freight depot were also re-
sponsible for the publication in the
News of the story of the petition

The News gets and prints the
news. All that is of interest TO the
public or the community it endeavors
TO present. 1t has no axes to grind.
When it omits a story. good reason
in deceney, justice or mercy will be
found behind the action. When il
misses "A story it will be found ready
TO say so. Such is the course in

is left to those who are not in this
class to shoulder their shortcomings

endoes and false charges which rep

The final session OF the sixtieth
congress made good start with that
resolution empowering the ways and
means committee of the douse to
compel the presence and testimony
before IL of those who are in posi-
ton to tell most about the benefits
and the injustices of the tariff as 1t
stands. With this power, the COM
mittee will be able to get at the bot
tom of things much more speedily
and surely than would otherwise have
been possible, and we may look for

The secretary says it would seem
that means might be devised TO
diminish the transfer of physical gold
under these conditions. That credits
or loans of gold might be extended
more generously than at present by
one nation 10 another in times of
stress, was proposed soon after the
crisis of year ago. II has been
suggested that an international con-
ference be called of representatives
of the ministeries of finance and of
the great state banks with a view 10
more prompt and effective co-opera-
ton in emergencies.
The secretary devoted considerable
space TO the question of an economic
disbursement TO current receipts, and
the classification of both receipts and
disbursements in such way as 10
facilitate such an adjustment, and
suggests that congress vest in a joint
committee the power of revising the
appropriations bill with view TO dis
hrihuting reductions and increases in
an equitable manner. IL would seem
that such committee should be
charged with the responsibility of
keeping the expenditures of each
year approximately within the
revenues of the year.
On the subject of the revision of
the tariff the secretary says the new
administration is pledged 10 a fair
and equitable revision. The neces-
stiles of the government should be
n gnide M least in part, 10 the
measure and character of the revision

President Roosevelt went TO the
extent of some five columns in the
Monday papers in an interview in
which he took occasion to say va
riety of uncomplimentary things
about the editors of the New York
Sun and Indianapolis News and some
other unnamed publications, because
they had intimated that the Panama
canal deal was not all straight, in
ferring that a coterie of money get
ting gentlemen on this side of the
Atlantic had reached into the 10000
600 paid France and extracted there
from a goodly commission. The edi-
tors of the Sun and the News have
passed back their compliments to the
president with interest. Congress
has, at the behest of the New York
World. which was also involved in

Congress can readily find means OF
relieving the needs of the govern
ment should proposed reductions in
tariff rates cut us short of receipts
sufficient to meet our financial needs.
A small additional tax on whlsker
and wines would do the business.
Beer we would not tax additionally.
It is the workingman's beverage,
particularly in the east, where certain
manners of employment make this
tonic almost a necessity to the con-
tinued good health of the hard
worker. But WHISTLES and wines can
be taxed from time to time without
working injury. The higher the tax
on these products goes, in fact, the
better for humanity. If whiskey sold
at 80 cents the drink, the public
would be better off.
