1t strikes US that one OF the great.
est needs Of Wood at the present time
is sn Auditorium, a place where the
young people can gather and enjoy
themselves during the long winter
evenings, by dancing, with . literary
and musical program, or o social;
where all kinds OF public meetings OF
our people can be held, and when tn.
Indians come to camp here, 70 provide
Them suitable place to hold their
councils and dances. We know Of
nothing that would add 90 much 10
the presssge and standing Of the town
that would advertise Us more, that
would give the business interests OF
the town more immediate benefits
than a good Auditorium. But who
will build it, is the question. II is
hardly probable that any individual
would invest the necessary capital to
build il. Ttwould probably be up bill
business to attempt to build il by
donations, and then mayb sometime
in the distant future fall into the
hands Of few individuals and they
reap the benefit of the contributions
OF the many. So the PIONEER takes
the liberty Of suggesting the organize.
ton OF stock company, to be incor-
porated under the laws of the state.
Let the company sell sufficient stock
10 build such an Auditorium. and
then each stock holder would have
just as much financial interest and

hard cash for, no more and no less
