Twenty
 Thousand Dollars Ex- pended To Make the Rendezvous Best of Its Kind In the Southwest

That the people of the Warren dis
 trlct should take pride in the Country
 cub and that they are doing so is be-
 coming more evident every day. It is
 not such costly indulgence, either.
 that the man with an ordinary salary
 should feel that he can't afford it.
 In the first place, the membership is
 S5O. Once paid, this is for all time,
 and share of stock is issued, which
 can be transferred, and which carries
 With it every privilege of, and the
 same ownership in the club, as is en-
 Joyed by the wealthiest member. It
 Is intended for the benefit of the fami-
 lies of the district The immediate
 families of the members all have the
 same privileges, which include the
 free use of the dining room, for enter
 tanning friends or guests, as well as
 the Tree use of the assembly room,
 the grounds, golf, tennis courts and
 rifle ranges, and to the dances. which | it is intended to give twice month in future. However, any member of the
 famly of member, except the wife , of member, between the ages of f5 and 21 years of age will be charged
 the nominal sum of s1 per month for IclUb privileges.
 The big club house is located out in | the open, where the street car line runs almost to the door and where man can take his family and friends for recreation or enjoyment OF change and enjoy the same just as ! he would in his own home Any idea that the Country club is intended for the select few is erroneous-it is in tended for the people of the district There is room for all The wife of any member can entertain as many friends as she desires at the club house. can take along luncheon for the purpose, can take along tea or tcoffee, chocolate or other beverage and will find hot water at hand free Of charge and the use of tables and the dining room for serving the same in short make herself perfectly at home. These privileges are open to all wives of the members and may be, l liberally and freely ayailed Of At the next meeting of the board of directors of the club it is planned to
 set aside certain day in the week as 1 a special day for ladies, though the | privileges of the club are at their dis posal every day. This special ladies I day is for the purpose of bringing the ladies of the district together in a body once a week for the promotion of social life and greater enjoyment. It i is proposed by the board to put up
 prizes for golf, tennis and rifle range , for the ladies to contest for
 The preparation of the grounds, golf links, rifle range, tennis court and buildings has cost, including the fur niture. approximately s20,000 There is still considerable due on the building which can be paid off as soon as all pledges for stock have been r1- deemed.
 A piano and some additional f1rnf- tGre are badly needed and it is thought that this will be taken care of by the ladies of the club. The club house is at their disposal and an effort toward raising the necessary money will be begun soon. The ladies of the Tue son club undertook to pay for the piano and the club furniture, and by giving dances and entertainments at the club house soon had the club house thoroughly furnished. When the ladies of Bisbee are aroused they are the best money getters in the country and it is hoped that they will get busy in the near future.
 The golf committee of the club is taking a liveIier interest in that par ucuiar branch of the Country club activity, and hereafter the committee propose to meet at least once week and to hold at least weekly tourna- ments and to have members or rep .resentatives of the committee on the ground to meet and introduce begin ners, assist them in securing partners and learning the game and make it interesting for everyone who may care to learn in the great Scotch game. Individual lockers have been provided for the members. Shower baths have been provided, which are free to all; those desiring to use them only being required to furnish taetr own towels.
 At the present time breakfast. luncheon or dinner can be had at the dining room of the club house at any hour of the day or evening. Those desiring special service. or extras, can secure what they want by giving mo- tice to the steward of the club house.
 Any members of the club desiring to make an acceptable present to the club should bear in mind that rugs. pictures. bric-a-brac or furniture are all acceptable. In other places the club house is usually adorned wth pie .u-es and scenes donated by mem hers. The number of members avail ing themselves of the club privileges is growing greater daily and Bisbee will soon be able to boast the most enthusiastic membership of any club in the country.
