FAIR WOMEN ARE
 STARTING THINGS

The entertainment and dance to be given at A. B. Hall, Flat City, tonight, in honor Of the basketball players, promises to be one of the swelest af- fairs ever held in the camp. Entirely under the direction of Flat City ladies, they have devoted many days to per fecting the arrangements, and prac tically everything is now in readiness for the guests.
 The hall has been gaily decorated, and furnished in most sumptuous and artistic manner. There will be plenty of comfortable seats, including chairs, settees, lounges etc, and everything has been done that possibly conId in- crease the comfort and enjoyment of the visitors.
 The program is an elaborate one, and consists of songs, dialogues, mono logues, instrumental music, and so on. IL has been drawn up under the capa- Davis and Price, and is bound to be tremendously appreciated.
 The refreshments will be all that an epicure could wish for. and will be served at the appropriate moment under the direction of Mesdames B. T. James and Al Thorns
 The floor manager will be Mrs. Grouse, than whom thereis none better.
 Good music will be heard through out the evening.
 No one can afford to miss this great treat. Not only is it the last big so- cial function of the l9l2-l3 season, but it also is the last word in entertain ment-the supreme effort of the Flat City ladies, who have toiled night and day for the past two weeks to make it a success. Nobody should miss it. Mo- body can afford to miss it. Nobody shall miss it. Everybody will be there, and that means you.

WILL AUDIT
 CITY BOOKS

At last Wednesdays meeting of the city council, under the head of new business, MT. Bayles brought up the matter of conflicting figures regarding the financial condition of the munich pality. He reminded the council that on one occasion they had been informed by the clerk that there was sufficient money on hand to meet all warrants outstanding, but when holders went to collect. payment was withheld on the ground that interest charges had &C., cumulated on some of the old warrants to such an extent that the funds avail able were insufficient to meet all de- mands upon the treasury. He could not understand how such a condition of affairs could arise that when over $1,OO0 was set apart to meet a little over S9OO in debts there should be de- felt of several hundred dollars, and he would move that an auditor be ap- pointed to go through the books from the date of incorporation.
 Mr. Acheson seconded the motion, and, after discussion, the mayor ap- pointed Messrs. Bayles, Smith and Acheson as an audit committee, with full power to secure what help they reeded for the work,
 The audit committee held their first meeting on Thursday, when they named Harry Iocey and Claude Baker as auditors, and the audit is now proceed iuu
