 President McNair, of the Douglas chamber of commerce said:
 T feel it to be a compliment to have been chosen to bring to you the felicitations of the Douglas Chamber of Commerce and Mines

The agency which obtains for the good of the Warren district must re- dound to the importance of Dong las, and vice versa. And so, if any agency obtains for the discomfort of either community, it is the bounden duty of the other to discount rumors
