CLUB GIVES BANQUET

GRANGER, Feb. 11.--More than
125 guests turned plates at the la
den tables in the Highline dining room

annual banquet. Prominent among
the speakers were r. H. Martin, man
ager of the publicity and agriculture
al department. of the Tacoma Com
mercial club, and c. G. Ware. pres
ident of the Zillah Commercial club.
Ashby w. Johnson, of the Granger
Brick & Tile Company. presided as
POSTMASTER. After some interesting
remarks he called upon the president
of the Granger Commercial club, Mr..
A. j. Reiss. who recited the organiza-
ton of the club one year ago with ten

Granger, which after ALL are very re-
cent. Mr.. c. G. Ware, president OF
the Zillah Commercial club then adj
dressed the guests in a forcable talk
on the advisability of federation of
the various clubs in the Yakima Val
ley, also strongly urging unity among
the clubs in their advertising enter
prises, and in connection Herewith
drew fine distinction between the
boomer and the booster. 1.-The boom
er, Mr.. Ware says, lis one who takes
not facts, but imagination for his
theme and paints upon his canvass
his dreams instead of facts The
booster is one who confines himself to
truth; who, If he errs at all in state
ment, errs by Understanding and
not overestimating, and to the boost
er belongs all honor. There IL an ir-
reparable damage done to this valley
and to this entire Northwest because
some men have failed to see the dis
tinction between booming the country
and boosting IT, There has recently
been exposed company that has Ia
ken advantage of the enthusiasm,

The Olympic games which will he
! held here next summer are already
the chief topic of interest in sweden.
Every day the papers are printing
long accounts of the proceedings of
the committees which have charge of
the various branches of sport, and ii is
quite evident from these reports that
the preparations for the meet are well
| under way
The stadium where the games will
be held is nearing completion. 1t is
! ideally located; only half an hour by
car line from the center of the city
and in the midst of big park There
is nothing temporary about the struc-
ture and it promises TO become one of
the finest athletic fields in the world.
1t is solidly built to withstand the eff
fects of the Swedish climate and in
design it embraces the latest ideas in
stadium building.
The management of the games is
already being besieged with applica-
| lions for tickets. and If the demand
continues at the present rate the seat
ing capacity of $4,000 of the stadium
VIII be exhausted long before the time
for the games. 1t will be advisable for
foreign visitors to book their tickets
in advance to avoid disappointment
The same conditions prevail in the
hotels, where accommodations are be-
ing reserved by out of town visitors. A
special committee, appointed to at
tend to the accommodation OF foreign
visitors, has been organized and is
now at work.
Entries have been received from al
most every civilized country, even
China and Japan having signifed
their intention OF entering teams. The
team from the United States rules fa-
vorite here, and America will be rep
| resented in every contest and game
with the possible exception of associa-
ton football The Swedish athletes
who attended the games at London
are strong in their appreciation of the
prowess of the Americans, and they
expect that the team this time Will be
even stronger than that of 1908.
| Rev. de Courcy- Laffan, who was
secretary of the English Olympiad,
was here short time ago and he ex-
pressed appreciation of the manner
in which Sweden Is preparing to en-
terrain the athletes of the world. He
promised that England would send
$50 men to compete In games, and
| that this team would make an en-
ergetic attempt to regain the pre-
dominance formerly held by them in
these sports
| From other countries reports are
being constantly received of prepare
tons of teams for the games, and
from present indications the meet
will be the largest held since the re-
vival of the olympic sports.

HOW OLD PEOPLE
May Prolong Their Lives

at an advanced age waste is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and watery, the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per-
son in this vicinity that vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OLD will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite. aids dig stion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
Vinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
If people in this vicinity only real
lied how Vinol invigorates old people
we would not be able to supply the
demand
Try a bottle of vinol with the I'M
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.

which actual facts have produced and
has misled, wilfully and intentially a
great many honest people and today
the Northwest is suffering from the
effects of this exposure, not because
they dealt in facts, not because they
advised that 1t was good, but because
they doomed. l believe that more
lasting good can be accomplished by
fair statement of actual facts than any
of the widest stories that man can
tell concerning his country" He ex-
plains that these things to great ex-
tent can be avoided by the federation
of the Commercial clubs in the valley.
Mr. T. A. Martin, of the Tacoma
Commercialclub, then delivered a very
interesting address, touching upon
the subjects of immigration and pub
LEFTY war. He told how larger COM
mercial bodies are preparing to con-
slider the great problem of accommo-
dating the immense flow of immigra-
ton that will result with the opening
of the Panama canal. He urged the
necessity of greater advertising in the
east, and enumerated the great feat
ures in advertising the west that
would attract the eastern investor and
the tourist as well. Other speakers
were Mr.. Chas. T. Furman, of Zil-
lah, Rev. Cochoran, of Granger, and
Geo. p. Taton, editor and manager Of
the Granger News. Mr.. A. B. Bailey,
special correspondent of the Tacoma
Ledger was present, and the total out
of town guests numbered about 65, in
Guiding the Zillah band. A special
train on the O-W. r. & n. accommo-
dated the Zillah people back at 1890
o'clock, at which hour the banqueters
dispersed.

side OF the grim soldiers chara cter
so little appreciated by the general
public. This was a side, the speaker
said, that Grants biographers failed
to make much If any mention of; but
those associated with him during the
war and later as president saw Il
crop out in numerous ways Among
the numerous instances mentioned
was one out at Vancouver, Washing
ton, where Grant had been as a SUBJ
altern in the early days. 1t was on
his return from the notable TRIP
around the world when he was APP
preaching his old post, which was
then commanded by General o. O
Howard, well known for his Christian
uprightness and temperance princi-
pies. Observing a large building on
the outskirts of Vancouver, General
Grant asked General Howard what il
was. He was informed that it was q
brewery. Turning to his wife. Gen.
eral Grant said: Julia, that must
have been built for General Howard
for 1T wasn't there when l was serv-
ing here And another time, just
previous, when their boat was APP
preaching Portland, where great
crowds were on hand to greet him

liza, you must be the cause of this
crowd, for when was here there
were only three or four people living
in Portland

LEAP YEAR BALL
BIG SOCIAL EVENT
City Beautiful Is Planning to Raise
a Fund for encouragement
of Rose Culture

one of the social events of leap
year, with its special privileges and
its extra day, will be the City Beau
tiful ball. to be held March under
the auspices of the art committee of
the womens clubs. While the wo-
men are prepared to make leap year
concessions to the extent of asking
the men to dance, they expect the
men to come forward nobiy as in or
binary years and buy tickets to the
ball, since the money thus raised it
to be spent in the cause of art and
city improvement.
The commissioners have decided on
the Teplitz rose asNthe official flower
and the clubwomen will undertake u
rose planting here similar to the
popular custom in Portland and Sc
attic, and there seems no reason why,
with encouragement of this sort,
North Yakima may not in time put
forth claims as rival rose city.
Roses do not grow here as easily rs
on the west side, but when given the
necessary care produce blossoms
which take a back seat for none.
To Plant Red Roses
Nhe art committee Will hold the
ball to raise funds to encourage q
general planting of the red rose OF
Yakima on school grounds, about
public buildings and on home grounds.
Six hundred Tepltz bushes have been
ordered through a local green house.
which are to be one-year plants done
up in bundles of three, which the
committee can sell at an extremely
| low price. Some of the bushes will
be given away to the different schools
and tho price kept so low that they
| viii be within the reach of all. For
those whose favorite red rose Is not
the Teplitz the committee will act
as purchasing agent, establishing
business relations with some outside
lnurseryman. 1t is the hope of the
committee that all who are planning
to buy roses this spring will buy
through it, in order that 1t may have
the benefit of the commission to help
carry on its general Identification
scheme.
Will Have Patrons
Plans for the ball are Not complete
as vet. but it is likely that the Com
mercial club and the Business Mems
organizations will be asked to act as
patrons of the affair. that some of the
old fashioned dances. such as the
lanciers and the quadrille will be ON
the program, and that the entertain
ment will be socially delightful and
civjcally we'll attended

to Bush, drive 10 left by Witt, and a
