w ndC Was perhaps one OF Cno
most important meetings ever
held in the city and one that
means more toward the growth
of Washburn than any other
meeting that was ever held, was
held at the Masonic Hall on Fri
day evening of last week when
eighty-three business men and
others Of the city gathered to-
gether for banquet and to talk
business.
The meeting was quietly
arranged by Jake Segal, F. T..
Beers, Amos M. Hansen, d. M.
Maxcy, Clyde Estabrook, Elmer
Oistad, and w. A. Robinson. For
some time these men have been
arranging for home building
plan and many of the details
were worked out before the
meeting was called. The arrang-
ing of the banquet was then left
to Jake Segal and Amos Hansen
and they sent out notices calling
upon each Individual to be pre-
sent as there was to be a big
banquet and an important meet
ing following. Of the eighty-six
receiving notices eighty-three
responded which is an indication
that almost everyone is vitially
Interested in anything that will
encourage the growth of Wash
burn.
The banquet was served at
1880 o'clock, being arranged by
the Ladies Aid society of the
Congregational church. and con-
sisted of a chicken pie supper
with all of the "fixns". 1t was
delightful supper and thorough
ly enjoyed by those present.
Smokes" were then passed
around by Messrs. Hansen and
Oistad while Jake Segal opened
the bag" that held the mystery
of the meeting and in few well
chosen words told what it was
all about. Amos aHansen was
then called upon and he outlined
in measure the great need of
houses in the city and what the
movement meant.
Mayor A. w. Macleod was
then made chairman and toast
master of the evening and he
called upon several for their
views on the plan and d. M.
Maxcy, F. T. Beers, Judge Axel-
berg, w. A. Robinson, Monroe
Sprague, Frank Downs, and
others responded. All stated
that the plan was very feasable
one and one in which every
resident of the city should be-
come financially interested for it
meant more to the upbuilding of
Washburn than anything that
had ever before been attempted.
At this period some of those
in attendance became so inter-
ested in the project that they
proposed that a committee solicit
the sale of stock and that an
other meeting be held, but this
had been previously arranged by
the secret committee and Jake
Segal pulled from his pocket a
paper properly drawn on which
individuals could subscribe for
the amount stock which they
desired.
The paper was handed to F.
t. Beers who started the list off
with $500 and several others
followed in succession with like
amounts and when the paper
had finally made the rounds it
was found that about nine thou
sand dollars had been raised In
the space of a few minutes. This
was encouraging and it was de-
sired to make the amount $40, 900
and the paper was started out
again and before it was returned
