FRIENDS OF v. ]. HALL
BANQUET IN HIS HONOR
PRESENT HIM WITH BEAUTIFUL
WATCH IN TESTIMONY OF
HIGH ESTEEM.

It is not often that a man has such
a splendid testimonial of the esteem
in which he is held by the people with
whom he has long been intimately as
sociated as that which was extended
to w. J. Hall, late assistant manager
of tho Federal Mining & Smelling
company, last Saturday evening. When
1t became known several weeks ago
that Mr.. Hall was to be transferred tc
New York to become treasurer of the
Federal company expressions OF regre'
came from all parts of . the Occur
d'Alene district, not more from the
men with whom he had long been as
sociated than from the people gen.
orally, all of whom had come to know
him intimately through business and
social relations and to appreciate MS
sterling qualities as citizen and ms
exceptional ability in the management
of large mining operations
Banquet in His Honor.
This being the feeling toward Mr.
Hall. it can be easily understood why
there was a unanimous and spontane-
Gus response in all parts of the dis
trict to the suggestion that an inform
al banquet be given in his honor on the
eve of his departure. Accordingly up
ward Of fifty friends of the guest OF
the evening, representing Wallace
Mullan, Burke, Wardner and kellogg'
assembled in the banquet room or the
Ranouet restaurant and through num-
erous brief and impromptu speeches
expressed the regrets Of the assemnl'
age at his departure and conveyed 70
Mr.. Hall the good wishes of all for his
success and happiness in the higher
service to which he had been called.
Presented With Watch and Chain.
J.F. Mccarthy, manager of the Hec'
la Mining company, acted as toast
master. The only formal feature o.
the affair was the presentation to Mr.
Hall of a beautiful watch and chair
with Elk charm by d. w. Buckby, sup
erintendent of the Stewart mill. Or
the back of the case Mr.. Halls initials
were woven into an artistic monogram
and on the inside was inscribed TN
following: "To Mr.. William J. Eal
from his friends in the Occur dAlenes
assuring him of their deepest gratituo
and affection" Following the presen
ration the toastmaster kept thing
, moving by calling upon representative
from all parts Of the district and iron
, all walks of life, and all, some gay an
some grave, joined in paying h,gl
tribute to the guest of the evening

with vocal selections by T. +. 10
