Good Cheer Club

The members Of the Good
Cheer club met with Mrs. A. M.
Sterling the president, last Mon
day evening. One of the guests,
Mrs. j. H. Holme of Tacoma,
WASH, is the president of the
Tahoma club of that city and
Mrs. Holme gave a short account
OF the doings of that organiza-
ton which was much appreciated
by the lady members of this
town. Mrs. Holme is a pleasing
talker and being a former Mon
tanan, having lived in Helena
for several years previous to
going to the Klondike, her re-
marks were especially appreci-
ated by those who listened to
her. Other guests from out of
town were Mrs. C. H. Metz of
Spokane. Mrs. y. "A. SprOal and
Mrs. w. w. Berry of Long
Beach, Calf, Miss Ethel Swar-
stad of Thompson, N. OAK, and
Mr.. j. H. Holme of Tacoma,
Wash.
Owing to the meeting being
called impromptu, not allowing
the hostess sufficient time to pre-
pare a lunch, all the lady men,
bers contributed to this feature
OF the evenings pleasure and it
developed the fact that none but
good cooks are allowed to main
tain their membership.
1t was a delightful evening
and everybody went home we'll
pleased with themselves.

Baltimore, March S-Revised
list Of dead in the explosion ON the
steamer Alum Chine, today indicat-
ed that the number will probably not
exceed thirty. Cold weather will de-
lay the recovery of bodies and 1t may
be weeks before the sist is correctly
given.
The injured number seventy, and
some Of them may die. Tales Of
heroism of water front men mark
the second day after the great guam
tity of dynamite "let 60" John
Goodhues, a ship chandler, was al
most along side the tug, barge and
steamer when the explosion came.
He was In tiny gasoline launch and
was running away for dear life when
he thought of rescue. Back along
side he went and as the foremost
tidal wave receded picked up eigh-
teen men and then twisted around
Sparrow's Point. Captains Of tugs
gathered up many more injured.
There we're many volunteers who
rushed in with no thought OF them
selves That is why the dead list Is
no larger. When the tug Atlantic
which strangely did not sink immed-
lately from the force OF the explosion
caught fire from stem to stern the
tugs Curtis Bay and Raihl went
alongside. They carried off her in
jured, as not man aboard escaped
and then took a tow. The vessel
was nearly to her city dock when
she went down.
The estimate loss is placed at
about 100000. The Davis Chem
ical Company at Hawks Point suf-
fered more than anything else on
shore. II is recalled here that gun
tests at Fort Armistead, closer than
the dynamite ship, did such great
damage that the government paid
the concern s375,000. Examina-
tions are being made today to see
how much stock was damaged dur
ing the unprecedented vibration.

At the meeting of the Board OF
Directors of the Board of Trade last
night it was decided to hold the first
open meeting for the members of
the organization and the public since
it's formation next Thursday evening
In the council chamber of city hall.
One OF America big men has been
secured to address the meeting.
Honorable Charles N. Fowler, for a
long time chairman of the House of
Representatives committee on cur
rency, will speak on Financial and
Banking Reform"
The change in the bylaws and the
constitution will be voted on at the
meeting. The former is to change
the bylaws so that the Board of
Directors meetings will be held on
the first and third Fridays of each
month. The directors have found
this more convenient than the second
and fourth Tuesdays providel by the
laws. The change in the constitu-
ton is to give the Board OF Directors
the power to pass on memberships
without the convening of a general
meeting Of the board.

mittee that appeared before the New

chise would be granted in the near
future.

pany, represented by Superintendent
Albert Jensen; Central Railroad Of
New Jersey, by Station Agent S.
Garis, and Citizens Building g. Loan
Association, by Louis FRANKIE.
Robert L. Fowler, chairman of the

} lengthy report concerning the work
of that committee, in which he spoke
{ of their effort TO have the trolley
service extended to the northern part
OF the city, and improvements in the

REDUCTION OF
MEAT PRICES
SeaIer loft Writes to Pack
ers to Secure II.

In an effort to secure a reduction
in meat prices here Henry Toft,
superintendent OF weights and meas
ures of this city, is taking steps to
have packers sell their products
without charging meat prices for
wrapping paper, wooden sticks, etc,
used in preserving the same. He has
written to the principal packing COM
panies of the country relative to the
subject, calling their attention to q
section Of the laws governing
weights and measures which pro-
vides among other things no dealer
must sell less quantity of commo-
dity than he represents.
Unless the wholesale dealers and
packers come to terms on this pro-
position 1t is likely that Mr.. Toft will
begin a test case against them. Thus
far he has received but single reply
to his letters. 1t was received from
w. C. Kirk. OF the law department OF
Armour & Company. Mr.. Kirk does
not agree with Mr.. Toft. claiming
the sale Of wrapped meats at gross
weight cannot be construed as vio-
lation OF the section Of the law re-
ferred to. He sets forth 1t is not the
purpose OF packers or wholesalers TO
sell paper for meat prices. but meats
are wrapped for the benefit of public
health, to prevent contamination.
etc. In conclusion, he states retail
ers have the option of purchasing
wrapped or unwrapped meats.
Meat dealers complain they must
have meats well protected against
contamination. but so long as pack
ers charge meat prices for wrapping,
wooden sticks and the like, they too
must charge for it, causing the price
OF meats to remain high, it is claim
ed.
/ Mr.. Toft's letter to the packers
! follows:
Gentlemen:--
wish to call your attention to
Section 26 of the law governing
weights and measures. This section
reads as follows:
26. Any person who Injuries or de-
frauds another by using, of causes tC
be used, with knowledge that the
same is false, a false weight, meas
ure, or other apparatus for deter
mining the quantity of anv com
modify, or article of merchandise, OIL
sells or exposes for sale less than the
quantity he represents, is guilty of &
misdemeanor.
find that dealers as a rule do moi
receive the amount OF meats you
represent on your bills. for the rea
son that you weigh in all wrappine
paper with your products. This Is
especially SO in regard to cured
meats. This to my mind is clearly {
violation OF Section 26: and If thi!
practice is not stopped | shall be
compelled to proceed against you d.
the law directs.
! Please give this your early atten
ton.
/ Yours resuectfullv,
(Sig.) HENRY TOFT,
Supt. of Weights & Measures
