CHOIR AT SMOKER
Elks Singers Will Appear Monday
Night at Meeting.

The Elks 50-voice choir will be the
attraction at the stag smoker to be
given Monday night in the club build
ing on Pecan street. Interest is at
tached to the event because this will
be the first appearance Of the choir
at a lodge entertainment
The singers have been receiving con-
slant training under direction of Clar-
enCe Magee.
A special program has been prepared
for the choir's concert. One number
will be a medley of southern songs
which embraces old-time favorites and
gives members Of the choir an oppor-
tunitv to make real harmony.
The smoker will be in the nature OF
a celebration to mark conclusion of the
membership campaign which has been
under way since before Christmas.
Although figures on the new members
are not available, the total is known
to be large.
At the last two limitations, approx
mately 175 applicants we're taken into
the order. The team captained by
Fire Chief A. J. Goetz is in the
lead, with the other three in the fol-
lowing order: julius Pace, Fred
Scroggins and William Dobrowsolsk i.
One of the main objects of the cam
paign is to increase the membership
sufficiently to justify construction Of
the proposed addition to the Elks
home.

100 r. r. CARS WILL
BRING GIANT CIRCUS
Ringing Bros. and Barnum & Bailey
Add Entire Shipload of Big, New
European Features.

Arriving aboard 100 double length
railroad cars forming trains more thar
one and one-third miles long, and
made even greater than in 1922 by the
addition of many big, new foreign
acts, Ringing Bros. and Barnum q
Bailey Combined will exhibit at Spo-
kane Saturday, August Is. Those
who read the daily papers or who
keep in touch with the movie news
reels need not be reminded of the
shipload of acts and animals recently
imported by the greatest show on
earth. The remarkable cargo included
two companies of baby elephants are
mammoth herd. There We're also 100
more performing horses accompanied
by EurOpe's greatest trainer and many
wild animals, some of which have
been added to the scores upon scores
of trained jungle beasts, while others
have become part of the marvellous
menagerie.
More than a million persons saw the
mammoth new circus of 1928 during
the weeks that it exhibited in Madi-
son Square Garden, New York. Now
this marvellous exhibition is touring
the country aboard five great trains
1t is a third bigger than the Ringing
Brothers and Barnum a. Bailey show
of last season. 1t is ten times larger
Big as is this wonder circus of 1923
with its more than 30 trained wild
animal displays in steel arenas, fully
200 wonderfully schoOled horses, 700
men and women performers. 100
clowns, and scores of features--tlle
price of admission is no more than
before And though the trained AMI
NAL numbers and the immense hon Sc
show were circuses in themselves
while touring Europe. they are not
offered as separate attractions by the
Ringing Brothers and Barnum
Bailey combined shows Instead all
are on one gigantic program. Every
thing is in one mammoth main tent.
One ticket admits to all these and to
the tremendous double menagerie.
There are more than a thousand ami
mails in the ZOO of this circus and
these include entire families of hippo
and difaffes. Another remark

EDITORIAL COMMENT ON
STRATTON OPTION PLAN
MINING PUBLICATION REFERS
FAVORABLY TO THE ES-
SENTlAL FEATURES.

Stratton & StrattOn, of this city
have the distinction of having devised
a new promotion plan for the devel-
opment of mining property, which is
not only working out successfully, but
which has also received at least a
quasi endorsement from a high min
ing authority in the far east. Under
this plan, which has heretofore been
described in detail in this paper,
Stfatton & Stratton are steadily de-
veloping the property owned by Peter
McPhillips, on Nine Mile situated be-
tween the California Black Cloud on
the west and the Panhandle on the
east, both of which have been quite
extensive ore shippers, and according
to all indications the McPhillips prop
erty has the same vein. Well, the
fame of the Stratton plan has reached
New York, possibly through publicity
in the Miner, and has caught the at
tention of the Engineering and Min
ing Journal Press, the leading mining
publication of the world, and that its
editor is favorably impressed with the
idea is evidenced by the following ed
itorial in the issue of July IA:
A Tent Dollar Speculation.
1.-The most difficult problem of the
man who wants to develop a show
ing of ore on his mining claims is to
finance operations beyond the point
of trenching, or sinking and tunneling
on a small scale A wrinkle in pro-
motion that may not be entirely new,
but that may, at the same time, sug-
gest ways and means to other owners
of prospects, is being successfully
used by Messrs. Stratton & Stratton
of Wallace, Idaho. They have an OPP
ton on some ground known as the
McPhillips property, in the Nine Mile
section of the Occur dAlene, in Ida
no. Surface exposures and an adit
$50 feet into the mountain had dis
closed a showing that made an at
tractive venture. The extension of
the adit 500 feet further was needed.
1.-THE owners did not have the mon
ey and could not raise it. Recently
the Messrs. Stratton took bond and
option on the property for $4,000 on
the following terms; They will pro-
coed to extend the tunnel but no pay
ment will be made until profitable
shipping ore has been found. Sixty
days from that date providing it ever
arrives) $500 is due; seven months
later $4,000 must be paid and fourteen
months after the discovery of com
merciaI ore the remainder OF the s15.-
900 is payable. By this arrangement
the money raised by the bonders is
applied directly TO development until
such time as the marketable ore has
been proved.
Fine. but no money has been rails
ed Oh, yes it has. Stratton & STRAIT
ton are selling $40 option certificates,
of which they have just 1900. They
sell only one certificate to an individ-
ual If the development work dis
closes sufficient ore to make it worth
while, a company will be incorporated
with the certificate owners as share
holders, and it will proceed to make a
mine--if there is one there. If the
