tive committee was not selected yes
terday. President .MoMullen stated
he was under the impression many
nw members would be enrolled soon
and, inasmuch as the executive com
mittee fs appointive and not elective,
he was desirous of holding the mat
ter over for a few weeks so as to
have a larger selection of members
to choose the committee from.
The chairman appointed Leon Ur
bach and Wm. Erwin, as captains of
the membership drive. The captains
were given the privilege of selecting
their own team. It was decided that
the losing team would have to pay
the penalty of providing a dinner
for the winning team. The date for
the drive will be announced in a few
days. The fees will probably be the
same as last year, $10 per annum.
The hospital resolution, drawn up
by 'Captain O. A. Johansen and May
or L. V. Ray, was read, whereupon
it was regularly moved, seconded
and carried, the resolution be adopt

the purpose of the committee to per
sonally thank Mr. Smith for the
large amount of publicity given Se

nouncements of the expedition. The
committee will also endeavor to as
sist the party in whatever way they

Local Tailor Sends Out
For Pleating Machine
Jordan’s tailoring establishment has
sent to .St. Louis for a pleating ma
chine, which news will no doubt be
gratefully received locally. Mr. Jor
don stated yesterday .there was only
one other machine like it in the
Territory and it was due, solely, to
the large number of calls for this
class of work that he entertained
any notions of purchasing the ma
chine. Accordion, knife, box, and
one way pleating is turned out by
the machine in perfect condition, Mr.
Jordon looks for the machine within
the next few weeks.
