S|()CK MEETING
BUSINESS MEMS CLUE IS All
WORK ON BlG CELEBRA-
T;ON.
This Years Show to BE One of the
Biggest and Best Ever Held in
the City.

A meeting of the Business Mems
club was held Tuesday evening to
talk ever several matters requiring g
immediate attention being the an
nual stock meeting which has been
announced for the third week in
April. 1t was the opinion of every
one present that .ne years show
ought to be the best in all the six
teen years the institution has been
in existence and with that end in
view a coed executive committee was
appointed to get something definite
iii the way of plans started for the
occasion. The committee was en-
powered to appoint other committees
as necessity demanded. The gentle
men On the first named committee
are w, w. Soule. John Clover, W.
f. Pascoc, |. NJ. Humphrey and |. Fl.
Chase. With this energetic aggreea-
tion at work, Rapid City Will without
doubt have an entertainment this
year worth coming a long distance
to see.
incidentally the Possibilities of q
fair for Pennington county We're dis
cussed and resulted in the stock
meeting committee being instructed
to take the proposition under advise
ment in their deliberations.
A few moments of the session
were spent in talking over the pro-
lect of city park advocated by A.
j. Mccain. Attorney Nelson sug-
gested that committee be appoint
ed to work toward establishing a
public pleasure ground The sug-
gestion was acted upon and Mr. Mel
son was made chairman of the COM
mittee. The site mentioned by Mr..
Mccain lies southwest CT town and
has one advantage at least, over the
ground now owned by the city for
park purposes, in the fact that it is
not quite so distant from the center
of the city.
Some light was thrown upon the
peculiarities of the present system Of
freight rates as applied to Rapid
City and other points. 1t was
agreed that an excellent plan would
be to have a delegation in attend
ance at the rate hearing in Fort
Pierre next week, and W. II Tomp-
kins, w. w. Sonle and |. II. Chase
were appointed to make the TRIP with
a view to locating the reason for
certain existing discrepancies in
rates, which favoring other points
gives them an unfair advantage over
this city.
Ranchers in the vi nifty Of the
city were extended an invitation to
become honorary members of the
club thus giving them place in
town to hold meetings that may be
called in the interests OF those re-
siding in the rural districts. Quite
a number have already taken ad-
vantage of the prefer or intend do
ing so at an early date.
During the evening Judge Niece
made mention of the fact that a
number of manufacturing enter
City for locations and the chances
for some of them establishing plant
here was very good A noticeable
thing and one quite encouraging to
the officers was tn interest shown
in the meeting, h In roint Of at
tendan ara the spirit that was
manifested.
