Commercial Club Banquet.

/ in Pioneer Hall on wednesday eN-
ening, February first by the Com
mercial Club of New Plymouth, was
very pleasant affair. Everybody
was in the best of good humor.
Joe Phillips had the banquet in
charge and anything he undertakes
is well done. The tables were taste
fully arranged and the menu was
served in a very pleasing manner
and all who assisted him are de-
serving of much praise.
The music was well received and
the reading by Miss Thomas was
much appreciated. P. NJ. Smock
presided as POSTMASTER in his usu-
al happy way making all enjoy the
evening. C. S. French was called
first on the commercial club and its
attachments. Mr.. French has a good
voice and is a pleasing speaker He
reviewed in detail what had been
done since the organization of the
club showing what united action could
do even by a small body of workers.
Mr.. A. Meyer responded by saying
that the duties of chairman of the
town board and head of hardware
store we're too much for any ordin-
airy mortal so he was going to re-
tire from public life and confine him
self to business, and save himself
some kicks by the public.
Mr.. Wachter tried to get ahead
of the toast master, but was sorry
he tried, for he found that the
POSTMASTER was like a woman, had
the last word. E. E. Cox did not
have quito time enough to { settle
the question in regard to the best
thing a pie, with lather or some
thing else. Walter Burke, thought
full of others, as he always is, spoke
of the absent ones, which brought
a moment of sadness as we remem-
bered those who had recently been
called from us.
w. S. Hinchliff, who has probably
done more for the development of
Payette Valley than any one individu-
al in the community, spoke on the
dairying interests, showing that the
farmers can do we'll with their hay
if they turn it into milk, cheese, |
butter and such products. Many
others were called and responded
briefly, G. w. Wilson, Mrs. Burke, ].
w. Lynch, Leo Schmidt and Earl
Mccullough. Our genial editor, VIM.
Plughoff spoke in a witty strain on
Leo Schmidt and Jim La Crone. Mrs.
DR.. E. F. A Drake gave an earnest
talk in her usual pleasant manner
and although the hour was late, it
was enjoyed by all Prof. c. A.
Strong closed the evenings toasts.
He is a good speaker and what he
said will be remembered by all. Ev-
eryone went home feeling that the
evening was surely an enjoyable one
and hoping that there might be an
other commercial club function
soon.
