day Luncheon Discuss Mat
ters of Importance.
WORK ON PARK SITE
Old Cemetery Grounds and
Other Available Locations
Being Considered.

The regular Wednesday luncheon of
the Commercial club attracted a rep
resentative number of the membership
and few who are not identified with
the club, and a number of matters that
have been before the body for some
time were thoroughly gone into and
placed In position for final disposal.
The chautauqua that is to be held
here the latter part of June, was one
of the subjects taken up and was
placed In the hands Of the standing
committee on entertainments to work
out the matter In detail. This prom
ises to be the greatest feature In the
entertainment line that has ever been
secured for this section of the coun-
try, detailed announcement of which

A petition was presented asking
that the president appoint a standing
committee to be known as the COM
mittee on sports and athletics of the
Grangeville Commercial club to ham

hands of and under the control of that
organization which works for the bet

themselves a part and parcel of the
city; they want to be allied with the
Commercial club in maintaining the
city's high standing. This includes
all the base ball men, from the man.

intention to have this committee on
sports act as any other standing com

the club" After due consideration
President Anderson appointed the pc
titioners, Harold Harris and Hub

committee appointed at recent meet

of the committee for further investiga-
