Would you like to have brand
new, bang-up piano with which dur
ing the long winter evenings next
season you can with dulcet strains !
while away the many minutes? All |
you have to do is to buy ticket to
the Canyon County Fair. Buy your
ticket now and you will get your
piano after the fair opens. If you
don't get it, somebody else will, tor
there is one to be given away.
This and many more interesting de-
tails of the fair and discussions for
the good of the city and county came
out at the regular meeting OF the
Commercial Club held Monday even
ing.
The club met with ,n1y fair at
| tendance, but made vi in enthusiasm
| and helpful suggestions what it lack
ed in numbers. The -eport of the
| finances was read and approved, and
President Dorman sta ted the ball
rolling by declaring taat a campaign
for new members should begun. w.
| H, Lawrence in his rounds had COM
piled list of 20 names, the owners
| of which were not members OF the
! club. A committee consisting OF
Messrs. w. P. Lyon, c. ]. Westcott
and Dan Banks was appointed by Mr..
| Dorman to gather the lambs into the
fold regardless. One of the 20 hap
pened to be present and was inn
mediately bounced upon by member
of the committee and after listening to
the arguments advanced declared that
membership in the Caldwell Com
mercial club was the one thing his
soul had been pining for.
| P. A. Wiley arose to address the
club anent the expenses OF the com
mittee at work in Boise on bridge
matters. He said that as these men
were giving freely of their time and
working hard to secure from the leg
islature favorable action on the much
needed bridges-and were not financi
ally interested in the outcome as they
owned no land in the Gem District
he thought the club should bear theil
:. net expenses. Mr.. Dornan spoke
briefly on the subject and DR.. J. w
Cue declared that if Mr.. Wiley mean
those that were putting in their fui
: time on the job-were camping on tn
| trail of the legislatives-.he was de
: cidedly in favor of paying their ex
| penses. He said that many OF tn
t members of the club had repeated!
. made the trip to Boise on behalf o
i different projects and never before
t had there been any melton of ex
l nenses. but when a man has to re
> main on the freling line, it was onl.
Just that he be reimbursed for hi
actual expenses necessitated by hi
. stay in the capital After brief dis
t cussion it was recommended that tn
3 Publicity Fund committee appropriate
money for this purpose.
Paul Davis was elected to member
: shin and by unanimous action tn
. club welcomed Messrs. o. M: Va
! Duyn and F. G. Burroughs back int
= . full membership.
