COMPLIMENTARY BANQUET
TENDERED HOTEL JIcCABE
To show thoir appreciation of tho
new Hotel McCabo, sovonty-flvo bUBi
turns aud professional mon hold a
complimentary banquet at that splen
did hostelry Wednesday evonlng, and
passed several hours pleasantly in
partaking of an eight course dlnnor,
listening to music furnished by
Stamp's orchestra and songs by tho
banquotcrs and applauding after-din-nor
talks bp sevoral of North Platte's
most gifted orators.
Contrary to tho usual custom, the
guests wero soated at Binall tables,
each of which had a center decoration
of white roses, corner pieces of ferns
and with a red carnation at each
plato. It was nearly nlno o'clock
when, following an Invocation by Dean
Howkor, tho banquotors woro seated,
and It wns nearly eleven when tho
final courso of eight was served.
Tho menu was excellently prepared
and splendidly sorved nnd tho se
lections by the orchestra woro an ap
preciated foaturc.
Petor J. Barron, seated In ,tho toast-master's-chalr,
was at his best, and
tho applicable stories ho told in in
troducing tho speakers woro strictly
of tho 191G vintage.
Tho general subject of tho toasts
was "The Hotel McCabe," divided un
der ,the heads of "Its Builder" "Its
Manager" nnd "Its Benefit." Prior to
tho consideration of these, however,
Secretary Fisher, of. tho Chamber of
Commerce was introduced, who spoke
briefly of tho future prospcqta of tho
city, and expressed tho hopo that clus
ter street lights might bo turned on
the night that tho new depot Is dedicat
ed. Tho reponso to "Its Builder," was
mado by Judgo Grimes, who compli
mented Dr. McCabe for providing
North Platto with such a splendid ho
tel, referred to tho Doctor's arrival in
this city thirty years ago, of Ills rise
In tho commercial world, his faithful
service to the people as a practloner
and his standing ns a citizen of in
tegrity. "Its Manager," was responded to by
J. G. Bceler who referred to Mr. Weln
gand's demonstrated ability to make
good in whatever he undertakes, re
ferred to tho splendid reputation tho
Hotel! McCabif had already feaincd,
and expressed the hopo that Us suc
cess in tho futuro would necessitate
the enlargement for which tho build
er had so wisely provided. Mr. Becl
er spoke of the wonderful growth of
tho North Platte valley, evidence that
tho futuro would call for tho enlarge
ment, W. T. Wilcox responded to, "Its Ben
ollt," which he said not only redounded
to North Platte, but to tho visitors who
come within our gates. Roforrlng to
a greater North Platto, Mr. Wilcox
spoke of tho need of greater develop
ment of tho co.untry tributary to tho
town. The pastures north should havo
moro cattle grazing thereon, efforts
should bo made to havo this become
moro of a dairying country and those
who desired to engage in this voca
tion should bo assisted in securing
bettor cows; wo should feed all our
hay and alfalfa instead of shipping it
out. Mnko tho tributary country moro
productlvo nnd North Platto will large
ly care for itself.
Keith Neville was Introduced aa tho
final speaker. Ho added his testimon
ial to tho builder and manager of tho
hotel, spoko of tho need of greater
publicity of the resouces of tho state
arid enumerated tho rank of Nebraska
in productions of tho farm. Ho re
ferred to tho commercial and building
progress North Platto Is making and
thought indications wero strongly fa
vorablo for a continuance.
