TO WELCOME SOLDIERS
Commercial Club Will Provide Reeen-
ton and Seek Jobs for unem-
ployed,

jamestown, N. D.. Feb. 12.-At the
first regular meeting of the Jamestown

Importance to the city and community

One of the first matters taken up
was a proper reception for the home
coming guardsmen, Not only will the
city close all OF its places of business,
meet the train with a band and escort
the soldiers to the arnory and fete
them in the evening, but a committee
has been appointed to secure positions
for all Of the members Of the COM
pany who do not already have Jobs.
A committee was appointed author
lied to secure temporary quarters, for
the club until permanent rooms can
be obtained. This is one OF the steps
taken to secure the membership Of the
out-of-town merchants and the farm
ers in the community. Another res
olution passed for this same purpose
is the making OF a special rate of
annual dues to employees, clerks and
travelling statesmen of SIS per year.
The. publicity committee was also
authorized to have folders printed
showing the advantages Of jamestown
and the surrounding community. The
cuts for these folders, several thous-
and Of which will be printed, will be
uniform and every effort made to
make them especially attractive.
DR.. Kroeze of jamestown college is
chairman of the publicity committee
and gave an eloquent address on ad-
bilities OF Jamestown. Alex Karr al
so addressed the club. speaking on
community building, and the need of
developing not only the city, but the
whole community. A smoker followed
the business session.

THREE
STORES
BURNED
Cogswell Visited by Fire
Which Consumed Sew
eral Buildings

CogswelI, n. D., Feb. 12.-FTre de-
stroyed three business buildings on
the south side Of Main street with a
loss Of about $4,000 or more. The fire
originated in the Walker restaurant,
a one-story building, and spread to
the adjoining building, formerly used
as a meat market but at the present
time unoccupied. A desperate effort
was made to confine the blaze to tho
old meat market, but to no avail
A small building between the King
building and Thos. McGraw's pool
room was moved into the street, and
with aid of the fire engine the flames
were checked at this point
Mr.. Walker, proprietor of the res
taurant, thinks the fire started from
an overheated stove. He got up about
$3.50 in the morning and fixed fires
and went back to bed to wait until It
warmed up. He fell asleep, and when
he awoke the building was all ablaze.
The family were obliged to leave
everything and Mrs. Walker and the
two children escaped in their night
clothes.
