Business Mems Banquet Big Success
Steps Taken Toward Organizing
New Commercial Club.

given in Pioneer Hall last night un-
der the auspices of the Pioneer
Club was without question the big
gest and most successful affair of
it's kind ever held in Roundup. To
see nearly all of the representative
business men of Roundup gathered
about the banquet board in happy
mood was an inspiring sight and
disastrous to any thought that un-
animity among the business inter-
ests of the Miracle of the Mussel-
shell' was thing of the past, and
the man who went home without
resolving to pull together with the
other fellow when the welfare Of
Roundup was concerned certainly
cannot be termed very desirable
citizen. The key note of the ban
quet is contained in the slogan
adopted by the committee in charge
of the banquet which adorned the
place cards and which consisted Of
the three words, Harmony, Pro-
motion, Advancement" and with
harmony and u desire to promote
and boost everything that will con-
serve the best interests of the city
prevailing, Roundup's advancement
will be the only logical result.
There were sixty-four business men
present.
The dinner consisted of four
courses and was the most elaborate
of any ever served in Roundup.
After the last course of the menu
had been safely slowed away, A. A.
Morris, the toastmaster, called for
order and stated the purpose of the
banquet. He then called upon
Geo. N. Griffin for toast on "Coun.
ty Division" to which he respond
ed very ably. AS a member Of the
executive committee of the County
Division Club he appealed to the
citizens for their cooperation, it be-
ngevident that many haue the idea
that they had washed their hands
OF all responsibility in connection
with securing the creation Of new
county in electing the officers Of the
Club. In reviewing the work ac-
complished by the committee thus
far he showed that they were by no
means dead, but on the contrary
had the work we'll under way.
Fred w. Dralle, superintendent
of the Roundup Schools, next spoke
on THE Need of Cooperation in
the Educational Line" The drift
of Mr.. Dralle's talk was that too
little interest is taken in the schools
by the parents. With the hearty
cooperation of everybody the schools
of Roundup. he SAID, could be made
second to none in the state.
Toastmaster Morris next called
on f. J. Crull, the subject be-
ing Montana The Old and the
New" which he handled in mas
terly manner. The Colonel" fol-
lowed the development of tn e
Treasure State" from the time he
came out with the Lewis and Clarke
expedition up to the creation of the
new county Of Musselshell, and
spoke of the marvellous TRANSFORMED
ton which this great commonwealth
has witnessed and which are contin-
ually going on.
The Coming Conference" was
the subject assigned Rev. C. +.
Haynes, this dealing with the need
of properly entertaining the annual
North Montana Conference of the
Methodist church which convenes
in this city next August. He en-
phasised the necessity of impressing
our guests on that occasion with
the open hospitality and progress
iyeness OF our city in such a man.

their visit here with considerable
