The Commercial Club Plan.
IEoNToN. Mo-. Sent. 10. 10

IEoNToN, Mo-, Sept. 10, 1915.
Ed. Register have been request
On to explain more clearly than was
explained at the courthouse meeting
Monday night the proposition to or
ganize a commercial club for Iron
county. Possibly some citizens got
the impression that the movement
was n to work lor some special in
terest or interests. There was and is
no foundation whatever for such an
impression.
The proposition is simply to organ
ize the men and women of Arcadia
Valley and Iron county-as many of
them as may be induced to cooper
ate-into a league for the legitimate
and liberal promotion of the general
public interests. 1t is proposed to
give this community as much valua-
BILE advertising as may be possible
through earnest effort intelligently
directed. 1t is proposed to make the
club q sort of clearing house for the
advancement of the interests Of the
community, SO that through its work
the permanent population Of the
county may be held and increased
and the attractions of the county so
placed before the public that a larger
number of summer residents and
guests may be attracted.
AS to Arcadia Valley in particular,
it is proposed to work toward provid-
ing better accommodations for sum-
mer resorters and week end tourists
to improve the natural advantages OF
the Valley and to work systematically
toward bringing people here from st.
Louis and other cities and towns.
Aside from the natural attractions
Of Arcadia Valley and other parts Of
the county, Iron county has certain
undeveloped resources which such an
organization may help to develop.
! There is, for instance, an abundance

Twomey, A. I. Willard, j. M. Whit

I had the worst experience last
Monday in getting left 1 ever had.
Last Monday week I went to Potosi
from Ironton. After supper 1 told
the hotel man to call for me at III. Nc
Gregor's store. He forgot it and I
had to walk, and only 5 minutes to go
in, SO | got left. The hotel man then
said / had 80 minutes to make Mineral
Point. So we went to the garage and
could not find a man to take me for
10 minutes. So we left, hitting the
high places, and got there 5 minutes
late. And I had to stay at Mineral
Point. Next day 1 took % to Mill
Springs. That night I told the land
lady to call me for No. 9 to go to
Williamsville. She called just as the
train pulled out, SO | got lett. The
next morning / took the local and
that was 2 hours late, 80 I got to
Williamsville just in time to see the
Frisco leave. So I got left four times
in "a hours.
We have had some heavy frosts but
no damage to crops.
There is a force of men working
here putting in a concrete culvert
south of town. They have their board
ing cars here. The painters have
also been here painting the depot and
a house which is quite an improve
ment.
Farmers here are not sowing much
wheat as seed is so high and they
seem discouraged over the failure OF
last year.
We heard q fine sermon to-day at
the Baptist church by Rev. o. S.
Taylor. The "Schmitt Sisters" favor
ed us with a Duet, entitled ''The Old
Rugged Cross" which was simply
fine and was very sacred and pathetic.
AS l am a great lover of music the
voices of these two young ladies'
stirred my heart with Joy. l hope
they will come again and we will
appreciate their music. They have a
great musical talent.

on the BEDFORD and Ellington road.
But what are you going to do with the

Lesterville?
Webb Young and wife's baby died
last Wednesday night. They did not
know that it was sick till it died. This
is two babes they have lost that way
in the past two years. 1t is strange
that they show no sign of sickness be-
fore death.
Mr.. Alonzo Miller is still in an I'M
hopeful shape to recover from his
long spell Of sickness. He was ope-
rated on Sunday by Drs. Eaton of
Bismarck and Jones of Brunot for alb
scess of the stomach and a gallon and
a half of corruption taken from him.
He stood the operation nicely, but has
not yet fully regained consciousness.
He lives on Crane Pond, six miles east
of Annapolis.
The weather is getting very cool
these days. People are beginning to
look for their overcoats these morn
ings.
Mrs. Jane Lott is in Annapolis to-
day to see her daughter, Anna Lloyd,

day belonging to that order.

From Near Arcadia Heights.

The past week has been very cool
and pleasant. We had a heavy frost
Wednesday night of last week, which
"nipped" sweet, potatoes vines and
the blades of late corn
We are very much in need of rain,
as water in many of the wells is get
ting very low, while some of the wells
are already dry. Pastures are nearly
ruined from want of moisture, and
grass on the range is almost dry
enough to burn. We have not had
any rain to speak of since the As
sembly closed here August Goth.
Prof. Hicks promised rain for Sep
TENDER has, so far, failed to visit this
section. Tt is somewhat doubtful now
whether the autumnal equinox will
bring enough rain to help farmers out
very materially. 1t is now getting
late for breaking ground preparatory
to sowing wheat, and in many local
tiles the ground is too hard and dry
to break. :
Mrs. W. Allgier, of st. Louis, last
week visited her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. William Depew, east of Ironton.
Your writer last week made a trip
to the Lead Belt and return. He went
on the local freight train to Bismarck,
thence to Irondale on train %. From
Irondale we went to Leadwood in an
automobile, arriving there at 3:45 P.
M. We spent an hour or so in the
store of Tolleson & Edmonds, two
Iron county boys, who are doing a
very prosperous business. We found
a home for the night with Mr.. and
Mrs. John Edmonds. Through the
kindness of Mr.. Edmonds we were
shown the Leadwood High School
building, which we understand cost
about 10000. School had closed for
the day, and we had ample time and
opportunity to visit the various de-
partments. The people of Leadwood
should be proud of their school build
ing, for it is certainly up to date in
most respects. But we understand
that from some cause or other, the
particulars of which we did not learn
the character of the work done in the
school is not such that it stands on the
approved list of High Schools. From
Leadwood we went to Desloge, st.
Francois, Flat River and Elvins. We
took dinner in st. Francois with Mr.,
and Mrs. B. M. Patterson, who form
erly resided on Marble Greek, this
county. Mr.. Patterson now has good
position with the lead Company in st.
Francois, and we are glad to know
that he is doing we'll. We left Flat
River at 4:30 P. NJ, Friday, in COM
pany with Mr.. John Thompson, wife,
two children, and Miss Emma Allgier,
all in Mr.. Thompson's fine new auto
mobile, and arrived in Ironoon at 6: is,
thus making the trip in an hour and
three quarters.
There are several things in con-
nection with u trip of which we
should like to write, but at present
have not the time o space. P.

at the courthouse Monday evening to
organize a Commercial Club for Iron

YER these interrogatories:
Why not re-organize the Arcadia

Why not work to increase the popu-
lation and thereby help all business
interests?
The meeting was called to order by
Rev. N. b. Henry, who made a talk,
relative to the purpose of the meeting

Of rock near the railroad line, which,
If crushed, could be sold In carload
lots at a considerable profit for road
making and concrete work in the
~stoneless counties to the south, where
there is q great demand for such
material. There are undeveloped
granite deposits, Manganese, and other
mineral resources in the county. Such
an organization could do much toward
attracting capital to develop these
resources.
The men who signed the call for the
meeting at the courthouse are public
spirited citizens who have no political
or personal axes to grind in this par
ticular instance. So far as the under
signed is concerned, he has no con-
nection whatever with any personal
or political faction, never has had
such connection anywhere, and never
will have such connection.
The secretaryship of such an organi-

office, and l believe with Grover
Cleveland that a public Office is a pub
lie trust. Under no other construction
of the job would l undertake the
work. RoBERTUs LOVE.
