The board of directors of the Glas-
gov Commercial club held an ad-
journed meeting in the club rooms,
Tuesday evening, transacted a large
amount of business and considered a
number of new propositions.
One Of the pleasant features of the
meeting was the report Of the freight
house committee, consisting Of F. d.
Alvord, i. L. Truscott and J. w. We
dunn, that the Great Northern Rail-
way company will build the long de-
sired freight depot at Glasgow. This
structure will be built during the
summer and is expected to be ready
for use by August first.
Another report from the fire de-
partment committee, of which w. w.
Hurd is chairman, to the effect that
the city council had appointed Dug
Hall chief Of the department., was
we'll received. Mr.. Hall will have
complete charge of the re-organiza-
ton Of the fire department, the sign
ing of members of the department., as
we'll as supervision of the apparatus.
Consideration was given the ~advis-
ability of adding new apparatus to
the present equipment by purchasing
new chemicals. The directors ex-
pressed favorable opinions to this and
deemed it advisable to leave the Sc
lection of the kind and capacity to the
judgment of the city council and the
fire chief. Glasgow will, within a
short time, have the best fire depart
ment to be found in any city of its
size in the state.
The report of the municipal play
grounds committee, composed of
Walter Stanley, r. M. Young and F.
ID. Alvord, comprising onc of the
best movements taken up by the club
members, was very favorable; and if
the plans outlined can be carried out,
it will afford safe and healthy place
where the children can enjoy out
door amusements all summer. There
are many details to be worked out
and the committee is doing excel
| lent work.
The club will render substantial
aid to the county grade and high
school athletic meet to be held in
Glasgow in May. The committee to
work with Prof. Williams consists of
Maurice Reuler, J. P. Mcintyre and
Walter Stanley. The committee held
meeting and outlined plans for
making the event success. The
city council granted the use of the
ball park and city team for making
the athletic field. A running track
provided. This will -. ...,.,.,.,....
will be built and other apparatus
provided. This will, no doubt, bring
several hundred people to the city at
the time the meet is held.
A visit to Glasgow, planned by the
state highways commission sometime
in April, at which time a good roads
meeting will be held, being brought
to the attention of the directors, il
was decided to hold meeting OF
members on one of the evenings they
are here. A committee, composed OF
w. w. Hurd, F. d. Alvord and Wal
ter Stanley was appointed to formu
late a plan of entertainment 1t i:
expected luncheon will be provided
to be open to everyone, at which talk:
of interest will be made by the visit
ors as we'll as by local men.
Announcement that the Gamble
Robinson Company had established ;
branch of their wholesale fruit com
mission business here brought out tn
possibilities of Glasgow developing
into large jobbing center. Their
is every reason to believe that 9th
ers representing different lines o
business will be located here befor
the year is completed.
A site for the 20O-barrel flour mill
which is expected to be located il
Glasgow this spring, has been looke'
, into. Two very desirable location
have been selected so that there viii
be no difficulty for the club to fur
y nish just what is wanted when tn
q final plans are perfected and thesmi]
people ready to build. The mill wi
mean quite an increase in the popu
, lation of the city as it will emplo
considerable force of employees, a
we'll as meaning a very large increas
, in the business Of the city.
