OLD SETTLERS
PICNIC aug. Fl
Different Committees Have Been Ap-
pointed to Arrange Suitable
Program for the Day.
WILL PURCHASE MORE OIL
Business Men of Denison Expect to
Dig Down in Their Pockets
and Again Oil Streets.

At a meeting of the Commercial
club Friday evening plans were for
INFLATED for the old settlers picnic,
which will be held in .Denison on
Wednesday, August 9th. A number
of committees were selected to ar
range for the celebration and we un-
derstand that the old settlers picnic
this year will be one that will long
be remembered.
The following committees were Sc
lected:
Coffee-C. ]. kemming.
Program, entertainment, speaker,
music-J. P. Conner, B. Brodersen, w.
w. Ferguson and Sears McHenry.
Sports-W. A. Cramer, w. A. Lam
born and Alfred Wright
Arrangements and decoratiOns-W.
C. Rollins, Louie Evers and Ralph
Norris.
Finance-C. L. Voss, George Naeve
and Andrew Bell, Jr.
The proposition of purchasing an
other car load of oil for Oiling the bus
mess streets came up for discussion
and if enough business men will sub
scribe the oil will be purchased. There
was not enough oil in the first ship
ment to oil all of the business district
and now the streets that were oiled
are in need of another application as
the oil has been driven into the
streets and already dust is making an
appearance. It was thought that II
the city council would stand for part
of the cost of another car of oil 1t
would be ordered this week, but we
understand that some members Vt The
council do not feel disposed to vote
for the measure and there is little
chance that the city will help out in
the matter.
A committee is soliciting among the
business men and it is hoped that
enough money will be pledged so that
additional oil may be secured for ap-
plication in the near future. AS a
whole the business men are more than
pleased with the oiled streets and
many of them are willing to donate
additional funds for securing another
car. 1t will be necessary to apply an
other coat over the streets that have
been oiled and there should be enough
left to oil the other business streets
that did net receive an application.
If another car of oil is net forth
coming in the near future it viii be
necessary to resort to the city sprink-
Ter once more, for at the present time
the streets are in poor condition and

Railroad In
Operation
BEGIN TO HAUL LOGS
From Cox Logging Camps to tne
Milwaukee Mill

Jack Cox. of Occur d'Alene, was
in this city Saturday on his way to
Santa. to look after his logging ope-
rations.
He said that the Renfro Greek
Railroad company had been pushing
construction work since the fright Of
way matter had been settled. That
between seventy hve and a hundred
men had been at work and that the
road had been completed across the
land over which the right of way had
been In dispute and nearly to where
his logs we're.
That he had made all arrangements
to commence shipping logs out as
soon as the road was comp Ieted far
enough to make this possible, which
will be by this week Wednesday II
n OF sooner.
By that time he expects to have
bis first train load Of logs loaded and
on It's way 10 the Milwaukee Lumber
compRny's sawmill, where they will
be sawed
The mill has been bothered more
or less all summer by a lack Of logs.
The Cox logs had been depended up-
on TO supplement those being cut out
at the company's camps and those
being put in by Branson, aud having
them tied up as they have heen all
the spring and summer, has been
! quite a handicap, although they have
had enough to keep them. going with
full crew most of the time.
This last week they we're running
very close and Saturday they we're
out Of logs entirely and we're obliged
to close down for the day. Only
thirteen car loads came IN Saturday,
hardly enough to keep one shift 60
Ing. so that everyone from the presi-
dent Of the company down, will be
pleased to see the Cox logs coming
in as It will mean steady work for

to be no sinecure, for they we're kept

morning and when the results had
been totaled 1t was found that over a
million votes had been cast.
The race between the two leading
candidates was so close that even the
