The Commercial club held its
regular monthly meeting last
Tuesday evening. The election of
officers was the first order of
business. Mr.. Rice moved that the
rules be suspended and the old Of
ficers reelected in a group, this
supported by Mr.. Angvik was done.
A speaker from the Agricultural
college at Bozeman, attended the
meeting and after explaining the
governments fight against grass
hopper menace, and after giving
an interesting talk on the life and
habits of this interesting bug, he
organized committee to supervise
the handling of the shipments of
hopper poison which will come in
here for distribution.
The matter of reviving the old
town well was discussed, and Incl
dents recited, relative to previous
efforts along this line. However,
nothing definite was done about it.
In view of the fact that public
playground is being developed
adjacent to this old well, it is high
ly probable that the we'll will be
left as it is, an extinct fountain.
In previous years, when this well
was flowing steadily, it kept the
area for a hundred yards around
it covered with water and made
the center of town a watering
place for all the loose stock in the
community. AS serviceable
watering trough, fed by a similar
flowing well is maintained at the
blacksmith shop, it is quite likely
that the town well will be left
as it is.
A group of workers financed by
the Montana Relief Commission
continues to develop the new com
munity hall. This building, for
merly a drug store at Antelope
was moved to this town to be
used as a pool hall but this was
abandoned. The Dramatic club
having a substantial sum of money
earned by presenting home talent
plays over a period of time, ane
finding that the school house wal
not adaptable for their work, helC
a meeting a decided to purchase
this building. Under the MIRO
plans, labor is available for sucl
public enterprises and this oppor
tunity was taken advantage of b!
the club. The result is that tn,
town will have a very pFesentabl,
hall.
The MIRO provides the labor ant
about ten per cent of the entir
enterprise can be devoted to pun
chase of material; additional ma
terial required for the building, i
being financed by the Dramatic
club.
Another interesting enterpris
which has been under way for
considerable time and included i,
the MIRO is the construction of
tennis court, on the lot adjoinin
the town hall. This project is nov
nearing completion and is bein
graded and planned and has tn
appearance of a real tennis court,
