BORDER DAYS
COMING ALONG
A Caucus and Mass Meeting
Held This Week--Every-
body Enthusiastic.

the greatest western show ever put
on the boards, is now decidedly
on the climb, due to the fact that
it is fully realized that it is the
greatest advertising stunt for
Grangeville and Idaho county tina
has ever been launched, and every
body in this mans town is boost
ing for it.
A caucus was held Monday
night in Fred Meader's office, the
Commercial club luncheon was
largely attended Wednesday
and Wednesday evening q
mass meeting was held at
the opera house, all pertaining
to Border Days and in the interest
of united, systematic and enthusi-
astic boosting for the same. II
there is at this time single knock
er on this proposition within the
city limits he has positively re-
fused to let the fact be known, al
although given numerous invita-
tions to do so at all of the afore-
said meetings-and a knocker who
refuses to knock, is alice samee
dead. SO things are looking
brighter ,and better, and more GER
tain of success than at any time
since the idea of the great western
show was first conceived, and in
consequence the stock is ON the
rise, as stated above. All that
remains now is to get together up
on a satisfactory basis of opera
' tion.-and few other minor things
and then prepare to take care
of the crowds.
