A NIGHT OFF.
Business Men and Invited Guests En-
Joy Smoker and Luncheon.

Monday evening the Business Mems
Association extended invitations to "a
number OF their friends and rs Il result
some fifty or more enjoyed a very pleas
ant evening in Halc's hall.
One motive in getting out 4 good at
tendance Of the business men and citizens
OF the town was to discuss in general
way various questions OF interest to the
town and adjoining country, and those
present were very interestingly enter
tanned by the discussion on the various
subjects brought up
The first matter to be taken up was
the locating OF the Government expert
mental farm here at Jerome. The bill
locating the farm carried with it an APP
preparation OF $1,000 which will prob
ably be used up by the committee and
minor details connected with its estab-
lshment. Some little work must be done
on the land this fall and it seems that it
is up to the citizens here to do it. The
site selected is at present in alfalfa and
this must be crowned and plowed under
ready ior work in the spring. Mr.. Ralph
Schnelock on behalf oil the Settlers Co..
proficred the use Of the necessary stock
and machines to do this work, but called
Tor drivers and other assistance in carry
ing on the work which would amount to
only a small matter. After full discus
sion Of the matter, committee was APP
pointed consisting OF Wagner, Busse and
W. VI. Massey, with power in the mat
ter oi preparing the 10 acres as requested
and to assist the Government representa-
tives in any other manner they could.
The question OF holding the Lincoln
County Fair at jerome next year was the
matter next taken up, and general
outline OF the work required in making
the same success, was fully explained
by Mr.. kartzke lie was followed by
several others, all OF whom were enthu-
siastic in making the coming exhibition
the largest and best ever held in the
county 1t was the general sentiment oil
all present that no time should be lost
in getting an organization perfected to
carry Oh the work and To this end Il CON-
lnittce consisting OF kartzke, Schnelock
and Frazer, was appointed and request
will he made that the Farmers Associa-
ton and the Civic Club also appoint com
mttees consisting OF two members each,
t. work in conjunction with the Bust
ness Mems committee, the whole To con-
stitute AN executive committee with
power to make all arrangements neces-
sary.
MIR. Ileiss. as chairman OF the com
mission appointed to improve the road
leading to the depot, was called on Tor Il
report OF the doings OF that commission,
and in response stated that AT meeting
OF the commissioners an organization
was perfected to- be known AS the Jerome
to O. ). l.. Highway Commission, with
w. A. Heiss, President; W. II. o Brien
Secretary, and f. A. Busse, Treasurer.
He reported that work had already COM
menced and would be continued as long
As the good weather lasted. He was fol-
lowed 10y Mr.. Busse, who explained
more fully the details OF the work the
commission hoped to carry out.
The question oi county division was
also discussed to some extent hut no
definite action taken.
Fortunately Messrs +. J. Ostrander
and President llance OF the Twin Falls
Commercial Club were present and gave
brief talks in general assuring the
Jerome people that Twin Falls was ready
at all times to assist in anything that
would enhance to the welfare of the
North Side tract.
After all this flood of oratory AN adj
iournment was taken and most sumptu-
Gus lunch was partaken of by all present,
the remainder OF the time being spent in
social way.
There seems to be renewed interest
manifested in this association and such
little affairs AS that OF Monday night
afford an opportunity for all to get to-
gether and forget Tor a time the business
worries. There is no end TO the good
that an association OF this kind can do
r but to he successful in the true sense OF
the word il requires the united effort o.
5 every one interested in the upbulding o
! the town. Let such be the case here.
