Trip North
WILL BE HERE ON JUNE IS


assured of being a grand success |
judging from the comments that have |
been expressed by residents generally |
since the holding of the initial meet
ing. The idea is hailed with general
approval and had IL been known that
such a club was to be formed at the
time, there would undoubtedly have
been large representation at the
meeting.
Another meeting will be held tomor-
row night and it Is hoped that every
business man, professional man and
working man who can do so will turn
out, pay their dollar membership fee
and join the ranks of the 'f5oosters."
The general committee appointed last
Friday night to draft constitution and
bylaws will hold session at DIR.
Scholer's Office this evening, and the
result of their deliberations will be
submitted at the meeting tomorrow
night. The fourth OF July committee
appointed last Friday will also hold a
session at the city hall Tuesday night
and further details of the proposed
big celebration will be formulated.
To Greet Chicagoans
Another early occasion that will be
afforded the Hancock Boosters" to
show their colors will be when the
come here a week from next Saturday,
June 49, on which date they will ar
rive on the steamer Theodore Roose-
welt. Mayor James mentioned this as
one feature in which the club might
exercise it's influence, and the sugges-
ton will doubtless he acted upon.
| While. the Chicagoans, like the De-
troiters who were here week ago,
will be their own hosts and do their
own entertaining while en- route, they
will make ii point to meet and greet
as many local business men and cit
zens as possiblee. and the Hancock
| boosters" will have an opportunity
to turn out i'm force to visit the ship
and show the visitors the sights of
the only city in copperdom.
