The best session over recorded in
the minutes of the Commercial Club

ness inen'H club room. F.veryono

or a professional man ami they
evinced a keen interest in all the

by spirited discussions aid propo-

a business like manner that speaks
well for the future of the club.
It shows thai real and abiding
interest has at last been aroused
among the business men. There
were over sixty present and many
important matters wcro discussed
at length. The reading of the mtii-
utcs of the last meeting recalled
the fact that at the last session the
club had deposed the old advertising
onnniiteoand appointed a new one.
'he president W. R. Dutlon ask-
!d why this step was taken in his
ibscnee and stated that it looked
like a disoouttesy to the chair and
i reflection upon the work and
bility.of the old committee. Fred
.'faff one of the most earnest work-
ers in the club in a neat but point-
ed speech tpiiekly disabused Mr.
I I)utton's mind of any suspicions or
injustice intended toward the old
committee lie stated that the
change had been mado because two
of the old committe had never at
tended any of the club meetings and
two others had begged to be reliev
ed from the duties of committee-
is iiiun ucuuunu uii-ir uwn jwini.iii.ii .ti
ll fairs occupied all their tunc and
attention. Fred further illustrated
ho t ''visibility of a change by as
serting and offering to prove that
xei.W committee had accomplish
ed more practical rceults in one
meeting than the previous commit-
tee hat! since its appointment. The
chair replied that he simply deiired
to know why the change had been
made. Under the head of new bus-
less L. W. Vivion urged the club
' . . . ..
to again emphasize to the city conn
cil the urgent necessity of better
sanitary regulations. A. T. Boys
seconded the suggestion' while 1I
Bhaw defended the attitude of
the city council stating
that the sanitary measure which
they had passed was as strong as
law and common sense would per-
tnit. Uu then reverting to the
order of new business spoke of the
uiagniiicant proposal made the city
by Lieutenant Colonel Randelett
to the effect that ho would reoom
mono to the secretary of the Interior
hat all that part of tho government
reserve lying west of and adjacent to
the city townsito and north of the
Otto Wells allotment running wen

to the river be given to the city of
Anadarko as a park. Mr. .Shaw of-
fered a motion that the chair ap.
point a committee of three to tlraft
resolutsons to the Secretary of the
Interior asking that he use his in-
fluence with Congress to secure the
passage of an act giving this pro-
: posed park site to the city. The
motion was seconded and carried
and the chair appointed P. 1'. Shaw
Berry Randolph and A. T. Hoys as
the committee.
A committee of three composed
of A. T. Hoys Assistant County
Surveyor Odell anil Randall Live-
say were appointed to confer with
Mr. Hhorcr owner of the Great
Hock Island Saloon relative to fix-
ing a fair compensation for the use
of his hall as a meeting place for
the Club. Several other matters
were ably discussed. It was a
pleasant and prolitablu meeting and
should greatly encourage the Club.

The Commercial Club is not and
should not be a "mutual adminis

"getting there" followed up by not
only staying there but let it be
known that you are "itV'and where
you are at.

nothing succeeds like success and
if you win you are a patriot while
if you loose you arc a relic!. The
Commercial club wants your name

councils and your dollar in its treas-
ury. Our list at present shows a
membership of 114 thirty three of

The Philomathio club met in
court room Saturday afternoon.
There was a good attendance of
Anadarko's literary ladies. Tho sub.
ject of wit and humor of different
countries was discussed by several
members in a creditable manner.
Any man who haB any complaint
to make about another one will
make it direct. Only cheap un-
worthy folk air their private griev-
ances in public print. A fair good
tempered talk with tho person you
hold a grievance against is almost
certain to bring about an under-
standing which will lead to correc-
tion and better feeling.
