The Beach Literary society will
meet with Mrs. w. W. Larsen
next week Tuesday at 200 p. m.
A large attendance will be ap-
preciated.
At his home nine miles north
east of this city, David Sommers
gave dance last Saturday night
to his many friends in Beach and
the Golden Valley. A delegation
from the Wisconsin Cafe were
among those who attended, and
Grace informs us the ride out was
one of the most thrilling she ever
experienced, and in the future she
positively refuses to attend coun-
try dances when Clarence Wiles is
chosen for driver. It's all right
to get out and walk when the
horses are tired. but this PROPOSE
tion of being hung up on barb
wire fence to cool off is little
too much. She was rescued from
her perilous position by a passing
pedestrian.

Commercial Club
Still Active
Will Hold Annual Election on
March 6th--May Give Home
Talent Play

: At a meeting of the Commercial
club on Monday night a vote of
thanks was extended to the North
ern Pacific railway for their gem
erous offer of two lots opposite
the Golden Valley Bank and on
the right-of-way line. for a new
commercial club building.
No definite steps were taken
for the erection Of the building.
but there is no doubt but what
within year a temporary struct-
ure will be built, with waiting
room On the ground floor for
farmers and their wives when
they are in town, and a commodi-
Gus club room with display of
the Golden Valley products in it.
A small building built now
would be as cheap as to rent, and
as there are 40 members, which
will sbe increased to $50, there
ought not to be anything to stand
in the way of having new club
house. EVERYBODY boost for it!
A committee was appointed to
put on an amateur drama. This
will no doubt be success, as
there is great deal of local tall
ent. 1t was suggested that spe-
cial vaudeville acts be run be-
tween the acts, and, at popular
prices, there is no reason but what
it ought to be financial help to
a good cause, as we'll as an even
ing of good entertainment for
those who attend. There is no
definite date set, but March 18th,
st. Patrick Day was favored.
The annual election will be held
on the 9th of March or the first
Monday in March. Everyone turn
out and show that you are men,
ber. Other towns are forming
strong commercial organizations
and Beach wants to be in the lead.
The developement and prosperi-
ty of many of our live western
towns is due directly to the work
OF local chambers of commerce.
The club here is doing all it can
to secure new industries and en-
courage immigration. A WE'LL
settled farming community means
more business and a larger town.
Beach is now the best advertised
town in the west and we want to
take advantage of this prestige
as we'll as the widespread fame Of
the Golden Valley that made it.

NEW ORLEANS IS
 MECCA FOR REBELS
REVOLUTIONARY PLANS FOR MEXICO, HONDURAS AND
 NICARAGUA FLOURISH.
Greet Supposed Backer-Recent Diaz Cabinet Member Said to Be Ft-
 nan ing Movements.

New Orleans, La-All of the Latin American republics from Mexico to Panama, with the exception of Costa Rica and Panama, are in a ferment and revolutions are brewing in all of them.
 Mexican, Gautemalan, Honduran, Salvadorean and Nicauraguan juntaJ have been established in New Or leans. and plans are being laid for revolutions in all of these countries.
 The Mexican junta is composed of opponents of Madero. Most of them were adherents of Diaz in the recent struggle, while practically the entire crowd is for almost anybody against Madero. The Mexican junta, it is said, is being financed by Enrique Greet, recently member of the Diaz cabinet
 It is understood here the junta is making extensive preparations, and that little time will be lost in starting military fireworks against the new re- eime in Mexico.
 The Honduran junta is under the leadership of Policarpo Bonilla, form CT president of that republic, who fled to New Orleans when Manuel Bonilla, his hated rival, regained con trol of Honduras.
 Policarpo is said to be backed by Enrique Greet, of Mexico, in his un dertaking Creel. it is said has agreed 10 finance the revolution in Honduras provided Policarpo can induce Saliva dor to join forces with him.
 Salvador has shown an inclination to assist Policarpo, and the attitude of that government resulted in the declaration of martial law in Hondu ras this week In order to even things up. the supporters of Manuel Bonilla in Honduras and New Orleans are planning a revolution against Saliva dor
 Nicaraugua is now in a turmoil and the indications are that it will be in worse condition in another week.
 As a result of the warlike indica lions in the Latin-American republics ! New Orleans is rapidly filling up witt American soldiers of fortune ane professional "scrappers," who hope to get into the war game. A crowd arrived from Juarez, Mexico, this week and promptly enlisted with one of the juntas.
 Panama is greatly excited over thc impending presidential campaign il that country, but no serious disturb ances are expected. The United States holds a tight rein on Panami and the fear of the big stick will pre- vent any revolutionary movement II the isthmian republic.

CONGRESSMAN ROBINSON SENDS A TELEGRAM TO GOVERNOR
 DONAGHEY.
he Tells Arkansas Executive He Has No Power to Oisapprove Income
 Tax Ratification.

Washington, D. G.-Representative e Joe T. Robinson of Arkansas has sent the following telegram to Governor George W. Donaghey:
 T feel it my duty to suggest that you have no power whatever to veto the action of the Arkansas legislature In ratifying the income tax amend. ment tc our federal constitution. The constitution of the United States vests the power of ratification in the legis. laturc and the governors approval is not required. Your attempted veto can accomplish nothing. The Demo- cratic party is committed in all it's platforms to this amendment. I re- spectfully suggest that you recede rom your position and withdraw the veto. The veto power does not ex- tend to amendments to the federal constitution
 Further than to say that the best Of feeling existed between himself and the governor. Mr Robinson re fused to make any comment on his message or the action of the govern or in Yetoing the income tax amend ment.
