The Dickinson Commercial Club trans
acted quite little business Wednesday

informed those present that the names
of some IS new members had been
placed on the books lately it made
every one feel encouraged. The names

Secretary Everett read letters from
Bismarck, St. Paul and Minneapolis, to
the effect that the courtesies of these

our people when visiting in the afore-
said cities.
A letter from Congressman Hanna
stated that he would visit our city and
talk over the matter of the proposed
land Office at Marmarth sometime before
long. He said that nothing would be
done in tine matter before the first of the
year any way. Senator Johnson's tele-

to the time when action could be taken
by congress.
Geo. Senour, James Soules and E. A.
Currie wee delegated by the chairman
to look into the heating of the club
room.
F. D. Hevener reported $50 had been
raised toward the purchase of new frrni-
ture and he suggested that monthly
