Referred to the superintendent of water and electrics.

we have no live automobile club here. ''Why." says he. "up in a small town like Niles thc.y have a dandy organization. They have club rooms supported by nearly all the automobile owners and the garages, and when a tourist comes in and wants to knowwhere to go to eat, or take a rest, or get acquainted, they send him right up to the club. The result is that the average tourist gets a very good impression of Nibs ami stays longer than he would under other circumstances. And too. they all spend a little money that way. I certainly think we all ought to get together and bolster up our club here and when such a movement is starred, they can count on me to do my part." Charles Coonley furnished some of the foliage used in decorating the Commercial-Athletic club for the anniverpary reception held last evening. And George Horn made the coffee. L. C. Bishop is exhibiting the photograph taken by camp-five light at the Oxbow picnic several de.vs ago. It is a remarkably fine specimen.
