SAVES ON GASOLINE BILL
Boat Club Helps the Members-Meet-
ing Called for Tonight.

The Island City Boating association
will hold a meeting at the club house
this evening. There is no special bust
ness to come up, but as it is one of
the objects of the club to get the mem
bers better acquainted with each other
it is thought that the more meetings
held the better this will be accom-
plished
AS an illustration of what the club
is doing for its members, the treasurer
has on hand a report showing the
amount of gasoline sold to the men,
bers of the club from the tank at the
boat house. and also how much has
been sold to non-members The non
members are charged the regular price
for gasoline that is quoted by dealers,
while the members get it at a consid-
cradle discount, due to the fact that
the club buys in large quantities. The
report shows that there was in the
lneighborhood of 500 gallons of gaso
line sold since the tank was installed
about a month ago, and as about half
of this was sold to non-members, the
profit for the club is considerable. This
saving on the gasoline bill is one OF
the advantages offered by the club tc
| the membership.

OUTING Is TO Sc
HELD CIRCUS DAY
Odd Fellows Committee Unable to
Avoid Conflict - Program Is
Now Completed.

The committee of the Odd Fellows in
charge of the arrangements for the
annual outing this year has prepared
the program for the day, but as there
is some slight chance of its being
changed yet, it will not be announced
for several days. The committee made
an effort to get the date which had
been selected first changed, but in this
they were unsuccessful, and the picnic
will be held July IG, at Linwood AS
there is to be a circus here on that
day. the members of the committee
thought it best to get another date if
possible.
The steamer Columbia has been
chartered to take the Odd Fellows to
the park, and it will make three trips,
one in the morning alto o'clock, one
in the afternoon at 2, and another in
the evening at 1880. This will give all
the members of the lodge a chance TO
go, and it is expected that there will
be between 600 and 500 present.
The feature of the day is to be a
baseball game between the Odd Eel
lows of this city and those of Moline
The trophy in this game is a silver
loving cup which has been fought for
for six years. The local team has Won
it two. consecutive years now and they
are going 10 make heroic efforts tC
win it again, in which event they will
own it permanently, as that was the
condition under which it was posted
as a trophy. Besides the baseball
game there are a humber of races and
other sports on the program, and suit
able prizes have been named for eacl
event About the only thing down OF
the program in the line of an address
is the talk which NJ T. Stevens ha!
consented to give on the objects an(
