failed and he was of the opinion that
the only way to get hotel was for
the citizens to go down in their poe
kets for the money needed to con-
struct an uplto-date hotel building.
The west side, he said, had been con-
ceded the location of the hotel. He
suggested the formation of a stock
company for raising at least part of
the money needed. Warren needs a
hotel that will cost about $4,000 ex-
elusive of furnishings, and he exhibit
ed sketch Of such building on pa
per. If the men of means in the city
take hold of the project, as they pro-
bably will, a new hotel will be one
of the improvements added to our city
next summer.
The best speech of the evening in
the estimation of many was made by
A. T. Listug, one of the younger
members Of the club, whose voice was
heard for the first time at a banquet.
His subject was sour Commercial
Club" and by pleasing array of
facts and figures he showed what the
club has done since it's organization
for the advancement of the best inter
ests of the city and the country
around it. The club had been ac-
tive i'll promoting many things of spe-
cial benefit to the farmers. He urged
all young men who have employment
in the city to enroll as members of the
commercial club and thereby become
interested in a small way in the city
where they have employment and
earn their livelihood, and have the
opportunity to do so because of the
existence of the city. When large
contributions are called for, the bust
ness man is the one who is constant
ly drawn upon, and it is not asking
too much If the others help in sup
porting the Commercial club in it's
work for civic betterment. Mr.. Lis
tug made an eloquent appeal for the
Punishment of selfishness, greater de-
votion to the city and more united ef-
tort on the part of all citizens to pro-
mote what is good and worth while.
Mr.. Listug was highly complimented
by the toastmaster for his able effort.
2. B. Malberg, Carl Adolphson and
Chas. Wittensten, members of the
county board, were present by invita-
tlon, and Mr.. Malberg, chairman of
the board, was called upon for few
remarks. He made a neat little
speech In which he called attention to
the vast area as we'll as the great ag-
mculturaI resources of Marshall coun-
ty He also pointed out the fact that
fruit raising in this county can be
MADE success and that many dis
eases that attack apple trees and 9th
er fruit trees farther south are here
unknown. We have lots of room here
In our county for new settlers and we
should all work to get new settlers
and also to help and encourage these
settlers after they have come here.
Mr.. Ma1berg said he was in favor of
the idea of a county agent and he was
quite sure that the county board
would assist to the extent of $1,000
per year.
G. L. Spaulding was called upon for
remarks and he responded with the
most effective speech of the evening,
He believes in doing things and not
merely talk about it. He pledged 500
for the Spaulding Farm Co., and 500
for the Spaulding Elevator Co., to-
wards paying for the services of a
county agent. Mr.. Spaulding's re
marks were cheered to the. echo
Everybody thought: Give us more men
like Spau1ding.
r. G.. Mathwig was next called up
ON and he responded with fine i'm
promptu speech.
The music that had been rendered
b the orchestra at frequent intervals
during the evening added greatly tc
the enjoyment of the banquetters.
