ed throughout the evening.
The Commercial Club is
based on the idea of a COM
munity of interest among those
who live and transact business
in the same locality. The con-
ception that in city every
man is working for himself,
must necessarily work against
every one else, while it has
formed the basis of action in
many communities, is ancient
and outworked. 1t was always
wrong, and it has never been
followed with good results.
And there now exists wider
recognition of the joint interest
which all men have in the wei
fare of their own com munity,
and a realization that unless
the community prospers the
individual in it cannot, And,
in order to aid in the develop
meat Of the community and in
stimulating it's prosperity,
they have associated them.
selves in clubs and organiza-
tions of various kinds, known
by many names, but having a
like purpose

tweuty-four business men of
this city met in the Offices of

up at that time which were
rerd at the banquet and after
several amendments were
adopted. The question of ac-
tive and associate membership
came in for a lengthy discus
sion and after several amend.
ments were made was put to a
vote.
The early part of the evening
was spent in speech making
and several were called on to
give their opinion of a COM
mercial club. The first speak
er of the evening was E. c.
Bowen, who told what might
be accomplished through a
commercial club and dealt at
some length with the activi-
ties of club members, stating
that in order to have a wide
awake club it was necessary for
everyone to put his shoulder
to the wheel and push. He re-
ferred to the banquet as being
the largest gathering of men
he had ever seen assembled in
Bottineau. and tribute was
paid to the Commercial hotel
proprietor for the bountiful re-
past set before the club and the
style in which it was served.
Mr.. Bowen also mentioned
that nearly every town in the
county had a commercial club
and that much good was. ac-
cornplished q. through their
efforts.
J. ]. Weeks was the next
speaker called on and he first
spoke on the development of
the city, stating that in years
past very little public spirit
had been manifested and that
the. development of the city
had, been neglected and could
be remedied through a com
mercial club.
E. c.. Falkenstein was the
next speaker and expressed his
wish to see q club organized.
He. recalled an instance Of
travelling about the state and
said that q STRANGER could easi-'
ly tell the towns that had clubs
