for doing things, and offered his
valuable assistance in carrying them
out.
]. E. Skyles, one of the leading
merchants, received loud and
hearty applause for his patriotic re-
marks. It is the first speech Mr..
Skyles has been known to make in
public. and shows that while he
has never expressed himself as
freely as some others, he has been
deep thinker, he has been pom
dering over the important questions
great deal. In the course of his re-
marks he said: THE only way
to make a success is by hanging to-
gether and fighting for our town, and
creating neighborly feeling among
ourselves. I see we are short of
chairs here this evening and will
add that if this occurs again that
l will loan you what is needed from
my hall. l am here to help you all
that l can
Chief clerk to superintendent w.
R. Smith, B. H. Rienking, told what
his experience had been in other
towns. How he had seen them pros
per because when the people went
after anything they did so in a
body, thus carrying weight and pres
tige with their arguments. "And I
have noticed that these towns that
have substantial commercial organ
izations get just about everything
the go AFTER" he concluded.
Rev. CASTOR is a born booster,
even If he is only poor Presby-
terrain minister, as he claims. "In
union there is strength. AS long as
we are divided and listless and don t
care you cannot approach any one
and obtain results" Then he went
on to explain the many advantages
We have here and the many improve
ments that can be brought about
through the influence of this club,
such as better schools, reading
room, a building and loan associa-
ton conducted by the people of the
town, which would enable every m; q
here who so desired to own his own
home and secure it at such reason
able terms that it would not be i'm
possible for him to handle it.
Engineer Adams expressed himself
as being much pleased with the club
and stated that he was DESTROYS of
becoming a member, and would use
what influence he could to get the
rest of the railroad boys interested.
w. R. Dunn recited an instance
where the commercial club in his
home town had made a hustling lit
tie berg out of what was at one tim
a lifeless corpse and was willing to
lend his support to the Whitefish
Club.
w. N. Parent volunteered his sup
port and desired to see some move
made at once towards raising funds
for the purchase of more furniture.
1t is evident that by the above
expressions that there will be things
doing and those that have been hold
ing off on account of wanting to see
how things are going to turn out
had better catch on to the band
wagon right away and help the good
work along.
