We understand that business has taken Judge Prindle to Florida, where he is basking in the smiles of new potatoes, green peas, and other garden sass, and swapping yarns with Paw Perkins at “Pam Beach’*. A Big Timber saloonkeeper and a Sweet Grass rancher engaged in a poker game a few days ago, the sa loon against the ranch, and the rancher won. The game Was a short one, each taking .$2.00 worth of chips. The saloonkeeper immediate ly turned over the place and left for New Orleans to begin life over again. In making the new start, it might be just as well if he left both the saloon and stud poker out of his calculations. THIS IS YOUR TOW N. This is your town'. Your interests are here.

Lewis, Iowa, Jan. 24.—The seven- year-old son of L. Breckerbauer amused himself while, waiting at the family mail box -for • the carrier by licking frost from the box. Hir. tongue stuck fast to thfe cold metal and he was unable to cry but or free himself. He became exited and jerked away, leaying part of his tongue sticking to the box. It was most encouraging to note the enthusiasm1 and willing spirit shown at the regular weekly Com mercial 'club dinner Friday evening^ The club is gaining momentum right along. With an effective organiza tion of this character there is no limit to what can be accomplished for the* betterment of this commun ity. ~ Nam* is Changed. ' ' —It—was—voted-to-chahge_the_name_ from Chamber of Commerce to Ba ker Commercial Club,' this title be ing deemed more appropriate for a city of .this size. It will be embodied in the articles of incorporation, Since the retirement o f ' Formc£. Secretary Bamford-the club has hail somre—diffrculty^locating ~the—boolrsr and records, but it was said they had been found at Mile.s City. Secretary Amundson will take steps to procure them. Sites Important Theme. W h e n 'the committee on- building site was asked for a report, C. P. Silvernale said: “I think the matter of a site should be deferred until we raise the money and should not be argued at the present time. There are three or four splendid sites we could get here in this town, outside of our own.” Jos. Hodgson, also a member of this committee, went into more de tail mentioning certain desirable building locations, among them the Kierle property on Montana avenue, opposite the Midland yards; lots south~of the—Fire—station which—itr was thought could be obtained front the Milwaukee as a gift; the space used for a highway adjoining L. Price’s hardware store. The lot sbuth of Jasperson’s plumb ing shop on West First street was also mentioned, but some doubt was expressed whether a firm founda tion. .could be obtained for .a -brick building. Mr. DuBois, the civil engineer, was asked to report on this matter. Best None Too Good. P..“L- Prichard strongly favored building on the best lot obtainable. He was opposed to putting a first class building on a second rate lot. He favored the lot which the club owns and mentioned as second choice the Kierle lots. Within Fire Limits. All of the lots suggested being within the recently established fire limits, excepting those in the - city park, there would be no recourse but to build of brick. Brick was in favor, especially could it be furnished by our local plant. Seeing Into the Future. It was suggested by J. Y. Creel that if we sell the lot we now have and put the money into a foundation, the latter wbnld cost three times as much as we ootain for the lot. - He predicted the barn on the corner of Kierle’s property would not be there six months from today; that a modern building would grace that corner. Will Draft By-Laws. The executive committee was in structed to draft a set of by-laws. This committee is composed of the following members: Geo. Daugherty, J. L. Barstow, Horace W. Sparks. Henry Schmidt, C. J. Dousman, R. E. Morris, W. G. Lang. Plans for $20,000 Building. Upon request Contractor John L. Pratt presented plans for a three- story club house, combining splendid features for the purpose intended. He estimated the cost at $20,000. 'It would be of brick, 50x75 feet in size. Raised a Few Dollars. he matter of money having been brought up, an assessment of $1.50 per member was levied for incidental expenses prior to permanent organ ization. President Price will act as tempor ary treasurer until the regular elec tion of officers. Boosters Who War* Thar*.

WIBAUX-BAKER BASKETBALL SATURDAY The Baker high school basketball team will try conclusions with the Wibaux boys at the Owego theatre Saturday night. r There will also be a contest be tween the east and west side busi ness men which ought to be a hum dinger. Official announcement has been made of the annual basketball tour nament to be held at Bozeman March 7 to 10. The local boys will probably re ceive an invitation and it will prob ably be an added impetus to their enthusiasm. There is no reason why they should not make a strong bid for the state championship. The Times is glad to see Prof D. L. White encourage athletics in the schools. Basketball is a splen did form of indoor exercise that promotes a friendly competitive spirit betwen contending teams, brings the boys-and girls in contact with rival teams from distant towns and _ciiies\\ahd “promotes good fel lowship generally.
