The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1920-09-16

TIME WAll4ACE DOarQ OF Ifdue Is
squarely behind the movement
to provide funds to meet the
expense in connection with the
teachers institute which will meet in
this city next month. 1t will require
a voluntary subscription on the part
of Wallace people of about $500 or
$500 and the board of trade, at the
regular luncheon last Monday start
ed the fund by voting unanimously
a contribution of $3.50. A committee
will soon canvass the city to raise
this fund and it is anticipated that
there will be no difficulty in securing
the required amount For the infor
nation of the public, it may be stat
ed that this fund is to be used for the
purpose of securing notable educators
and specialists who will deliver lect-
ures to the institute during the week,
and also for the purpose of providing
entertainment for the teachers dur
ing their stay. 1t is a rare opportun-
ity for the people of Wallace to show
their interest IN the cause of educa-
ton and at the same time display
that cordial hospitality which will
contribute to the pleasure and comfort
OF our guests and cause them to leave
with a fixed desire to come again.
Teachers from five counties Boun-
dairy. Bonner, Kootenai, Benewah and
Shoshone, will attend the institute,
probably a total of over 500, and
they will remain here five or six days.
II is evident that the hotel accommO-
dations of the city will not be equal
to the requirements of institute week,
and to meet the emergency many pri
vate homes will be open to the teach
ers
Sullivan Resigns.
President Walter J. Sullivan was
not present at the luncheon last Mon
day Secretary McAllister read a
message from him in which he stated
that he would be absent from the city
most of the time during the next few
months. and for that reason he pre-
scented his resignation as president of
the board. A motion by Herman J.
Rossi that Mr.. Sullivan's resignation
be tabled was unanimously carried.
Vice President Donald A. Callahan
presided at the meeting.
Good Advertising.
A letter from the headquarters of
the Yellowstone Trail association in
Minneapolis was read in which the fol-
der recently issued by the board of
trade featuring Wallace as the CEN
ter of "the scenic section of the Vel |
lowstone trail" was commended and |
requesting that 500 copies be sent to !
that office for distribution. The fold
ers were ordered sent as requested. |
They will also be sent to other points
on the line with the view to diverting
tourist travel through Wallace and |
the Occur d'Alene district.
The Folder.
Acting upon instructions from the
board of trade. A. J. Dunn. speaking
for the publicity committee, and re-
plving to the criticism advanced by
DR.. Bean that the folder should have
contained more information in detail
regarding the mines. stated that the
committee realized that such infor-
nation would be desirable. but that
the present folder was in the nature
of an emergency production, and be-
sides the expense of a more elaborate
one had to be taken into con-
sideration The primary purpose
was to get something in the way Of
advertising to place in the hands of
tourists passing through here or who
might be induced to come here. i
something that they would carry
away with them and preserve thus
prolonging the advertising value Of
the folder. The folder is printed on
light card board with one fold, max

markedly good picture of Wallace
with display lines calling attention to
its general features. The last page
