One of the First Acts of New
Mayor and Council Tues
day Night.
MERIT APPRECIATED
Cowboy Band Recognized as
Most Valuable Advertis-
ing Asset.

one of the first official acts of the
new mayor and city council at the ad-
journed meeting Tuesday night which
was held at the Knights of Pythias
club room was to authorize an appro-
priation sufficient to cover a monthly
salary of $S5 to be paid to Sergeant
j. Il. Running for services as band and
orchestra leader of the city.
Sergeant Running came here in Feb
ruary, direct from Camp Lewis where
he was director of the 3Sth Field Ar
tillery Band until rehabilitation. As
director of the popular Cowboy Band
during his residence in Grangeville he
has brought that organization forward
by leaps and bounds and it Is doubt
full If there Is better band in the
northwest today. Sergeant Runnings
services as leader of the Cowboy or
chestra have also been highly appre
ciated and the appearances of the or
chestra at the cantatas given by the
churches, at the high school plays and
at various other public functions have
always added greatly to the success
of the various enterprises. His violin
solos have been delight to all who
have had the pleasure of hearing him.
The members of the city council indi-
vidually expressed keen admiration
and appreciation of Sergeant Running's
ability and services. The matter of
| the authorizing regular salary for
| band leader was presented to the city
fathers by Harold Harris, manager Of
the Cowboy Band. who had circulated
a petition as follows and which was
signed by our citizens as shown:
