MrB. L. W. Walker and Mrs. Isaac
DiUlon did, not go )io Minneapolis
Tuesday as they expected, due to a
tolegraim from Mr. Walked stating
that ho had an offer on his business
thero and might concludo to sell,, and
for them to remain here until further
advlco from him.
The three-day campaign Inaugura
ted to secure members to the Chamber
of Commcrco, which began Tuesday
morning and terminated last evening,
resulted in an enrollment of 382, with
prospects for enough more to swell
the number to at least 400. In this
campaign about forty men took part,
and a thorough canvass of the busi
ness district was made. However, the
membership secured Is not limited to
business and professional men;, many
proporty owuors, including railroad
men, enrolled their names, and the
clerks In tho various business houses
helped swell the number. Very few of
tho business and professional and
property owners who were approach
ed declined to take out a membership,
and a number of those who refused
will, we believe, sooner or later, dis
cover "the error of their way."
Tho large membership Becured
which Is three times greater than ever
before can be taken as evidence that
the people of North Platte are willing
to help boost the town; that they
want to make North Platte, already
a good town, a better and bigger
town. Backed by a membership of
100 all working for tho best Interests
of tho town, the Chamber of Com
morco Is certain to be a wonderful
factdr In. tho upbuilding of North
Platte.
For a number of years a commercial
organization has been maintained In
North Platte, and while much good
has been accomplished, it has been
handicapped by the fact that of tho
1000 or more men in North Platte, the
average membership of the organiza
tion has been less than one hundred,
and the other 900 Instead of helping
and backing tho 100 who were work
ing for the best interests of tho whole
town, stood back with folded hands
and asked "what Is tho Chamber of
Commerce doing," and at the same
tlmo many of them ridiculed the or4
ganlzatlon and even went so far as to
thwart tho efforts of the organiza
tions. Under these conditions the
most effective work could not be done.
But now with a membership of 40d,
and each a willing worker, there Is
scarcely any bound to tho scope of
tho work that can bo accomplished.
As one who has worked as best he
could for the best Interests of North
Matto for over thirty years, tho edi
tor ot rne rriuune is wonuerruuy
well plcasSd with the result of the
membership campaign, and he is con
fident that the work of the Chamber af
Commerce during the next year will
be such as to make everyone, Inter
ested In tho welfare of the city "sit
up and notice."

"THE SUIT MAN."
Chief Baker mada the orunds of
cigar stores, confectionary stores and
other places where punch boards and
dice boxes have been In use, and or
dered that they must bo discontinued.
The order on dice boxes became
effective at once; the punch -boards
will bo allowed ,to be maintained until
they aro exhausted, thus allowing the
owners to realize on the money they
have thu3 invested. No new boards
will be allowed. .
The order of the chief Is a sequel
to many complaints that have been
registered against tho dice box and
punch board form of gambling. It is
a mild form, It Is true, but neverthe
less it Is obnoxious to many of our
citizens. In somo instances young
boys were allowed tho use of the boxes
and boards, and this hastened the
edict of Chief Baker.
.... , Notice
The partnership formerly known as
Landgraf & Crane, is hereby dissolved.
Henry Landgraf will continue tho bus
iness in his name.
