CLUB COMMITTEE
FIXES SCHEDULE
FOR CITY STORES
Suggest Hour Schedule For
Opening And Closing
Of Local Stores

A suggested schedule of OPEN
ing and closing hours of all Red
Lodge retail stores during 1886
was advanced here Monday eve
ming, at a meeting of newly-ap-
pointed members of the retail
merchants committee of the Red
Lodge Commercial club,
The schedule, as arranged and
adopted by the committee mem
bers, was suggested to all retail
enterprises in the city, excluding
restaurants, barber shops, beer
parlors and confectionaries.
Committee members fixed the
following dates in 1896 for all
day closing of retail establish
ments: New Years, January Il;
Memorial day, May 80; Indepen-
dence day, July 4, and Labor day,
September 7; Thanksgiving day,
November 26; and Christmas day,
December 25. On Armistice day,
November II, it was suggested
that, if a suitable program has
been arranged for the observance,
stores remain closed between the
hours of II a. m. and IL o'clock
noon.
During Red Lodges rodeo and
Fourth of July celebration, which
will he staged next year on July
3-4-5, it was suggested that on
Friday, July 8, stores remain open
throughout the day and during the
early evening hours.
As a trial of the new store hour
schedule, the committee also sug-
gested that, during the months of
January, February and March nezt.
year, retail stores open for busi-
ness at 9 a. m. daily and close at
p. M, except Saturdays and pay
days, when the closing hour would
be extended to z p. m. to accomo-
date> out-of- town trade.
It was emphasized that the
three-month schedule was to try
out it's effectiveness, and that, if
better schedule was found to be
needed for the remaining months
the year, one would be arranged
at further meetings of the retail
committee. Consequently, commit
tee members did not attempt to
arrange daily openings and closing
hours for the balance of 1886 at
Monday nights meeting.
The committee also did not at
tempt to fix closing hours for city
retail establishments during the
annual Christmas shopping period,
preferriing to leave this to the
jurisdiction of shopkeepers as in
dividuals.
Retail merchants committee
members were appointed here last
Wednesday night at a meeting of
the clubs gov verning board and
consist of Edward Bloom, Jack
Cover, G. B. Foltz, Frank Friauf
and Dominick Rossetto. The COM
mittee, it was stated, is to function
more or less independently of the
club.
Besides appointing the committee
members, the governing board, at
last weeks meeting, passed on a |
resolution, approved by club
members at a previous meeting,
to corporate the club and ordered
the clubs articles of corporation |
to be filed December 20.
Board members also decided to
sponsor publicity tour of eastern |
centers which will be made early |
next summer by Max Big Man,
noted Crow Indian chief, allowing !
a maximum expenditure of $3.50 |
i'm club funds for this purpose.

BYRON HIGH TEAM(
DEFEATED, 3O.14
BY CARBON QUINT
Locals Invade Wyoming For
Return Game At Byron
This Evening

Byron (Wyo.) high schools bas-
keteers went down to a 80 to IA
defeat on the Washington hall
court here Thursday night before
the accurate tossing and fast floor
action of Carbon county high
schools basketball machine. It was
the locals second straight win in
two starts for this season.
The Byronites held their own
against Coach A. M. Hartwig's
men throughout the first quarter,
|Knotting the score "A at the end
of the period, but could not keep
pace with the stride the Carbonites
set for them in the other three
sessions.
Going into the second quarter,
the locals released some of their
power and began to find the hoop
with regularity. Their defense held
the Byron tossers to two floor
shots and the half ended with the
visitors trailing five points on the
1873 halftime score.
Throughout the third session,
Carbon's defense men sewed up the
visitors chances at the hoop COM
pletely, while the locals sank three
shots from the floor to make the
score 1873 at the end of the ses-
sion.
Final quarter play saw the Car
bonites set a hot pace for the visi-
tors and rough spots began to crop
up in the fast action, several per-
sonals being chalked against both
teams. The local tossers, however,
bound the hoop for II points during
the session and held the Byron
hoopters to two floor shots and
two free passes for a total of six
Joints in the period.
Byron will have a chance to re-
taliate for it's defeat here when the
locals invade Wyoming territory
tonight and tomorrow night. Hart
wigs men tackle the Byronites on
ne Byron floor in their first con-
test in foreign territory this eve
ming, and will then go to Cowley,
