A F A M Meeting
Regnlar meeting of McCook Lodge
No 135 A F A M Tuesday August
3 at 8 00 pm in new Masonic temple
By Order of the W M
C L Fahj estock Secy
Special Session Commercial Club
A special meeting of the McCook Com
mercial club was held on call Monday
evening
The matter of moving to the new
quarters in the Masonic temple theatre
building was placed in the hands of the
house committee for the completion of
arrangements purchase of necessary
furniture etc It is expected that the
club will move into its new quarters
about the middle of August
The matter of a storage plant and the
securing of a suitable location for the
same was presented to the club by H
G Phelps who is desirous of securing
a suitable place on which to build such
an enterprise for this city Locations
offered are located too far east not in
the business section and on land too
low for such a building Mr Phelps
desires a location on west 1st street near
the section house on high ground and
within easier access to the business of
the city To this end a committee of
the club was selected to bring this mat
ter favorably before the Burlington
company in the reasonable hope that
tie desired location may be accorded
Mr Phelps
A storage house is one of the needs of
McCook Mr Phelps proposes if suit
able location is given him on track to
build a storage bouse to cost at least
85000 with sufficient capacity to store
many carloads of fruits vegetables and
merchandise This would be of large
advantage to businessmen and shippers
in this part of the state
Mr Phelps desire seems to be a rea
sonable one and The Tribune hopes
that the company will concede him the
desired location
Such a storage house as that proposed
would increase shipments both to and
from this point and would doubtless be
a forerunner of the wholesale grocery
house which in due time will come to
this city

Not So and Some Facts
It is told by certain county officials
who seek renomination that I have
brought out a candidate for a certain
county office This statement is wholly
and absolutely false I have brought
out no man nor bad the least part in
bringing any out This is being told to
whiskey men and others to injure the
chanceu of some candidates who the
would be bosses ot McCook cannot use
in their dirty politics and therefore do
not want
We are interested in clean men for
office men whom the saloon and immor
al element do not control And it will
be well for the voters of Red Willow
county to know before the primary who
and what the men are who seek office
for the next two years by your votes
The business that is now fighting one of
the cleanest and most honest men that
ever held office has already cost the tax
payers of the county some 300000 in
court costs Because the present county
judge has been instrumental in prosecu
ting he offenders of the liquor law that
placed in the county school fund 75000
and the same parties are awaiting trial
in district court for a like offense that
will place a like or larger amount in the
county treasury These politicians are
seeking to defeat him for renomination
It is very necessary to have good men in
the offices whose power it is to execute
andenforce the law Further light will
be thrown on this subject later
