DIRECTORS OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE HOLD MEETING.

D1hEC1OfSS OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE HOLD MEETING.
A business meeting of the ex-
ecutive. committee of the Chamber
of Commerce was held at the
Warmers & Merchants bank We'd
nesday evening, and a liberal
turnout of that body resulted. A
number of matters claimed the
attention of the committee.
Messrs. Remission, Reeve and
Hudson were appointed as COM
mittee to confer with the city dads
regarding the matter of oiling the
city streets. The matter came up
previously before the council,
when Standard Oil representa-
tive gave an estimate of cost of
this needed improvement. An Or
der was placed by the council, but
due to the high cost, cooperation
with the Chamber of Commerce
Twas desired, and made. condition
al upon receiving such aid. The
eommittee will meet with the
council and perfect the arrange
ments.
A letter representing the desir-
ability of cooperation among the
various chambers of commerce of
eastern Montana and Western
North Dakota was received from
Secretary Chapel of Wibaux and
read. The purpose of the move
ment is to secure special home
seekers rates over the N. p. for
the benefit of prospective settlers,
and it is thought that with con-
certed action this end can be at
tanned. A special low rate of one
cent per mile prevails on the Mil
waukee for homeseekers' excur-
Sions, and ii is desired to secure
a similar concession ON the part of
the N. p. Secretary Hayward
was instructed to take the matter
up with the proper officials. Ii is
recognized that such a movement
will prove of inestimable value
in further development of this
end of the state, and especially of
the Golden Valley. Further partic-
ulars will be given in these COL
umns later, when Mr.. Hayward
receives word from the N. p. Of
ficials as to definite action.
The proposition of parking the
railway grounds south and west
of the depot was again brought
up, but the committee reported
nothing definite in securing the
improvement. Correspondent al
ong this line in an effort to beau
titl these premises is still being
taken up with the officials.
A proposed excursion to the
Dickinson agricultural sub-sta-
Zion, which will occur during the
l!summer if the n. p. will arrange
for special rates, was considered,
but in this matter, also, report of
definite action was not received.
The entertainment committee
for a Fourth OF July celebration
at Beach, appointed at former
meeting of the Chamber, was in
structed to prepare ali the de-
tails of the celebration, and at a
meeting in the near future will
submit their plans, when formal
action will be taken. Beach will
celebrate. and while the Chronicle
is unable at this time to give its
readers gist of the entertain
ments and sports which will occur
on the Fourth, our readers may
rest assured that it will be an
occasion which few will care to
miss. The south branch towns
will he visited in the near future
by a committee, when an invita-
tion will be presented them to
have part in Beach's celebration.
p. C.. Erickson, secretary of
the Farmers cooperative Pro-
duce Society, accompanied car
load of hogs to the South st.
Paul market Saturday. The con-
!signment was an exceptionally
fine lot of big, fat fellows, and will
bring high price. Mr.. Erickson
announces that the Produce COM
pany expects to make weekly
shipments of live stock in the fu-
