of the club building an Illuminated

avenue and highway No. 2 Eat Ninth
street,, SO as to direct travellers into
the heart of the city at night Lion

fountain somewhere on the new high
way, near Kootenai falls. He said the
fountain on the Elk Hill highway was
used to great extent by the travelling
public and that it had given the club
much good publicity. Lion Krall fav-
ored another fountain but said an
illuminated arch would also be fine
activity. Discussion as to activities for

Two Guests Speak.
Henry Murray and .. o. Mount were
guests of the club and both spoke
briefly on their work here. Mr.. Murray
has been stationed in Lincoln county
by the social welfare department of the
state relief work. His duties are to in
vestigate all cases needing relief and
he has contacted all such cases in the
county. MIR. Murray said the idea back
of his work is primarily one of reha-
Utilization, to build up the morale OF men
and women who have become dis
couraged and disheartened by the de-
preston, to encourage them, see that
thew and their families are properly
feed and clothed, and get them on their
feet again, condition in which they
will again be self-respecting and self
sustaining. He remarked my job is a
fine one; being paid for doing good"
He asked for the understanding and
cooperation Of the men present and OF
the public.
Mr.. Mount, as manager of the re-em-
ployment office, told of the work done
by his office. He said the office had a
card index of every unemployed person
in the county, with each person CLASH
fled regarding the tyne of work each
is best fitted to give. When contractors
and others need workers, it then be-
comes his job to supply them. Mr.
Mount said he had sent number Of
Lincoln county men onto jobs at Fort
Peck and had seen that work on loca
projects was given to Lincoln county
men. He also asked for the cooperation
of the public and said he wished every
one would get in the habit of calling
on his office whenever one has any en-
plovment to give out
