And So To Bed

Two Morning Star reporters
gathered their fishing tackle
and took off for the beach
early yesterday morning. 1t
was about $3.50 a. m. when the
would-be anglers arrived at
their destination.
Hooks were baited and lines
cast to sea, but at press time
this morning, no one, not even
the anglers themselves have
been able to determine the
number of fish landed.
Says one-"We must have
caught about IS or 49,"
Says the Other-'I think we
had about Is or TO-"
The reason for the discrip-
ancies in the stories: The fish
ermen forgot to get their story
straight before entering the a.
flee.

EQUIPMENT IS
RECEIVED FOR
PARK LIGHTING
Consists Oh 120 Lamps
Oh 1,500 Watts Each
For Night Baseball

Flood lights for the new baseball
park, on land recently purchased by
the Commercial club, arrived here
last week and will be installed as
soon as the ground is made ready.
The equipment consists of 120 err
closed type lights of 1900 watts
each, a total of 10000 watts. The
lamps are of the newest type. By
being enclosed they will be cleaner
than the old styles and are expected
to deliver Is to 20 per cent more
light. They will fully illuminate the
park for night games.
A petition was recently filed with
the county surveyor, asking for the
use of county equipment with which
to change irrigation and drain bitches
now traversing the land and to give
as much assistance as possible in
leveling the ground. The city,
which is cooperating in the project,
has some street equipment that will
be available for this work. All the
actual operations are under super
vision of Chef Eyer, city engineer.
The present intention is to event
ually make the park a combination
baseball park and football field,
President John Laird of the Com
mercial club said this week. Title
to the land, recently purchased with
money subscribed for the purpose,
is now vested in the Commercial
club. 1t was part of the c. L.
Morris farm north of the city and
is to be transferred to the city.
Poles for the lights are still to
be obtained, Laird said. The pref
erence is for steel supports, but as
it may be difficult to get them it
may be necessary TO use poles of
wood. The lamps are to be mounted
or eight supports, six with IL lights
each and two with "a lights each.
All the lamps will be 60 feet above
the ground.
When the lighting system has
been installed it will be known
whether enough money remains 70
the first sections of a on
5emplated grandstand. The park
will be in use this year, but if
is not enough money left to.
1uild the grandstand and bleachers
will be a project for next
year.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
AIRS MANY TOPICS
Roads, Paid Secretary, Summer
Athletics, Airport Are Re-
viewed At Session

The Laurel Commercial club at
meeting Wednesday evening at the
Masonic temple considered a variety
of topics pertaining to the com
munity. President John Laird pre-.
sided at the session.
Matters discussed at length includ-
ed the question of a paid, full-time
secretary. A committee consisting
Of B. Meyer Harris, Oliver Void and
C. w. Laird reported the results of
Investigations at Deer Lodge, Sidney
and Dillon. The president was di-
rected to appoint a committee of
three to work on a club program
and make a recommendation con-
corning a paid secretary.
The president announced he would
appoint a committee to bring in a
recommendation on whether to petit
ton the city council for a swimming
pool special election. The status of
a bequest from the late Ruth Nut
ting and whether the pool a be
authorized by petition without re-
sorting to an election are to be re-
ported.
The club voted to pay one-third of
the salary of Glen Anderson as di-
rector of athletics during the sum-
mer months. The clubs action is
contingent on whether the city coun-
Gil and school board agree to pay the
ether two-thirds. Anderson outlined
the program he would inaugurate if
employed as director.
B. B. Hageman reported on the
baseball park project. His motion
prpevailed for the president to ap-
point three members of a proposed
athletic board. The city council and
school board will be asked to ap-
point the four others of a seven
board.
A recently appointed airport COM
mittee reported. Describing the pro-
gress made to date were r. B. Pack
ard, Hageman, Paul Void and Clay
Greening.
