A rrangements had been made for a panquetof mammoth porportions, delegations from all the near-by commercial clubs being invit ed and the members of our local Com mercial Club having invited a large number of those of our citizens who were not members to join with them in a festival of eatfest and tal kfest. Preceding the banquet, the Com mercial Club held its annual election of officers at the regular Club hall, at which the invited guests assembled with the Club to witness the proceed ings. and the hall was more than tilled when the president called the meeting to order. All business was suspen 1 ed. save the election of officers which resulted as follows: President—E. G. Taylor. Vice president—C. F. Beushausen. Secretary—W. S. Waite. Treasurer -O. E. Longacre.

At the stated time, the banqueters1 croke loose from the Commercial Club rooms and went to the opera house, where t hey found three tables the full length of the auditorium, ■ with the speakers’ table at the lower end, the tables capable of holding plates for 194 members, and guests, adorned with elegant boquets of car nations. while the front of the stage was beautified with potted plants and flowers, making a sight lieautiful to 1 the eye. The banquet had been provided by | the ladies of the Pythian Sisterhood l iij four courses, and was one of the ) most elegant, as well as substantial of any ever spread before a waiting crowd of epicureans, and presided over in a manner well calculated to inspire the highest enjoyment of such | an occasion by the ladies having the j matter in charge. At the close of flic banquet, cigars and sweetmeats were passed and the toasts of the evening followed. The toastmaster for the occasion was our honored eitixen. John W. Long, who, while gracing the place for the first time in his varied history, arose to the occasion as one to the manor horn, and performed the very ditticul function in a way and witli a per fection that gave those present no cause to doubt the above assrteion and his introduction of the various speakers was especially replete ; with wit and humor that made the coming speakers go some to find ad equate reply to their humorous as well otherwise pleasant introduction. It would be impossible, with the space at command to give any concise j or intelligent resume of the gentle- i men responding to the toasts, hence we will omit it all, merely saying each and all did honor to themselves, j and to the company in its entirety, i Also, we simply speak of the music) interspersed by the orchestra, duet. \ quartet and quintet as surperh, and in perfect line with the occasion.

VIC SWANSON The House of Quality and Low prices j Wrestling Match Warren Miller liasa wrestling match on for tonight at Scotia with Geo. Kinney of Greeley. Kinney is said to be a mighty good man and the pride of the wrestling fans of his home town, who thinks him mighty near invincible. However, Warren Miller will likely take his measure tonight at Scotia. Runs Pitchfork Tines into Foot Dr. Carrie L. Bowman was called to the home of H. A. Jung, Jr., a few miles south of town, last Saturday evening, to attend the injuries re ceived by Mr. Jung, resulting from stepping on a pitchfork, which badly pierced the foot. She dressed the wounded member and at last accounts the patient was doing well, the only danger to be feared being blood poison ing, the tines of the pitchfork being badly rust eaten. Bouillon Trimmings Many amusing episodes occurred at the banquet, outside of the wit and humor provided by the toastmaster and speakers, and the good cheer, ! repartee and side remarks between ' guest at the tables was worth many i times the price of admission. A vex ed question of whether cream and j sugar should be used in bbuillon was settled in the affirmative by a number j ! of the banqueters, and their wives have decided that prior to future functions of the kind they will have schools of instruction for their hub bies. However, one particular ban queter, who had evidently been par tially “put next’’ by his better-half, and wished to correct his side-partner, called out in a stage whisper, heard the distance of a dozen guests either way: “This is not coffee, this issoup,” and was the last straw that broke the camel's back of reserve and the fun merged in a riot of humorous pas sages extending the length of the banquet room. ! The editor, in company with Col. Jack Pageler and John W. Long, took in the big public sale of Jacob Contor, four miles south of Ashton, Tuesday. It proved tiie biggest sale, the big gest crowd and one of the most suc cessful of any of the sales so far this season. There was a crowd estimated at 250 persons, and the bidding was brisk and generous. The stuff brought something like $5,000 and Col. Pageler had the great crowd in the best humor and bidding the high est one could wish. For instance, cows brought as high as $85 to $87, coming yearling calves at as high as $27.50, while sucking calves brought up to $13. Tiie hogs went lively at about $25 to $27, while the horses ranged from $60 to $140. In fact everything went at most satisfactory prices and Mr. Contor was immensely pleased with the outcome. Our Col. Pageler did hirasjlf proud in his sell ing even to the smallest items, and from all over the grounds could be heard words most highly commenda tory of his ability as an auctioneer. Jack is certainly forging to the front most rapidly. • Additional Electric Light Subscribers Following is a list of additional electric light users since our last ic port a few wee o* sim *: Hailey, E.

Proposed Law Knocks Printer s Here is some pleasing dope for newspapers, especially the last para graph, which as you see provides that no mercenary millionaire newspaper shall run any risk of becoming a multi-millionaire at the hands of any candidate or set of candidates, and if he says anything favoring any candidate lie must do it for love only. The first paragraph is that all politi cal dope favoring any candidate shall have at its head the words "Political Advertisement”. Yet in reading the two paragraphs, they seem to conflict, in that the last paragraph denies the right of the paper to receive any pay for political matter favoring a candi date, while the first paragraph defines the action to be taken when articles are paid for oi to be paid for. Evi dently the Fillmore man lias been too Heast.v in getting up his proposed law and has things somewhat mixed: "Ileasty of Fillmore has a bill which provides that no publisher of a news paper or other periodical shall insert in his publication anv political matter paid for, or to be" paid for, which will tend to influence any voter, unless that article has printed in pica typa at tho head, ‘‘Pvilitical Advertisement,” with a statement of the amount paid therefor, with the name and address of the candidate and also the person authorizing the publication and the author thereof. Any person holding an office who re ceives more than $300 salary or any candidate for office who owns any in terest in any newspaper shall file in the office of the county clerk a state ment showing how much financial in terest he has in any newspaper pub lishing any politial articles other than provided for above. No reporter, agent of a paper or editor shall receive any compensation from any candidate for office or prom ise of any kind for publishing anv article favoring his candidacy, and any fraction of the above act shal 1 cause the infractor to be assessed a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $500. Ford Automobile To Be Given away Beginning next week and running fora couple of months the Northwest ern places the gift of a Ford run about within the reach of some wom an, young lady or little girl absolute ly free. They can get the auto with out the cost of a dollar to themselves if they getoutand work. The North western has started a subscription contest, the first it has ever made, and all the winner has to do is to get out and hustle for the necessary sub scriptions that will give her the ma jority of votes in the contest. Let every one read the big announcement on the eighth page of the paper and find out what is necessary to secure the auto. It is certainly worth try ing for. Some one is bound to get the fine little Ford runabout, and why not you? The Ford has been pur chased of A. C. Ogle and is now to be seen at his garage. J ust think, win ning a $565 auto without a cent of cost for the same. And if you work for votes, if you should even come out second, third or fourth in the contest there will be special prizes, to be an nounced later, which will well repay you for any sacrifice of time and energy made. Next week we will give further information regarding the contest. In the meantime get ready to enter the contest and be the one who will be winner of an auto. Early Easter Easter comes this year on March 23, the earliest since the year 1858, or in plain figures, the earliest in 55. years.
