THE BOISE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Press Clu0 VINO attended the meeting III
Boise this week certainly have reasons to
feel grateful to the Commercial Club OF
that city for the delightful entertainment
accorded them. One of the many benefits
that such an organizations is to city was
forcibly demonstrated. The press club
went to Boise without invitation and ex-
pected nothing more than a cordial greet
ing from the press of that city, but upon
arrival there the editors found an abundance
of entertainment had been arranged, the
expense of which was paid by the CONNER
cial Club. The arrangements were carried
out with loyal spirit by Guy Flenner OF
the Statesman and G.. 0. Broxon of the
Capitol News. They were assisted by that
prince of good fellows, Joel Priest, pub
licity agent for the Short Line.
The real feeling of the press club mem
bers for the entertainment afforded is ably
expressed in the resolutions which were
adopted Just before final adjournment, and
which are as follows:
Firm in the belief that there is no
of Idaho; and that to get better acquainted
is as much duty as it is pleasure, we,
the Eastern Idaho Press Club, assembled
in Boise, offer the following resolutions:
I'VE thank the Boise & Interurban
Railway company for very pleasant trip
to Caldwell and the Commercial Club of

Payette valleys as twin brothers. 1t re-
quires no League of Southern Idaho Press

together, because we are actuated by
mutual aims, purposes in common-the up
building OF the greatest state that ever laid
