The regular monthly meeting of
the Sidney Board of Trade was held
in the Wesley Hall, Tuesday evening.
There wus a good attendance of mem-
bers of the Board, President Ed.
Blackburn took the chair.

“a The president reported on the an
nual convention of the Associated
Boards of Trade. He stated that Sid.
ney had a full representation presen:
and that the three resolutions sub:
mitted by the Sidney Board of Tradi
had been adopted, the gasoline tax,
arbitrary rates on lumber, and the
prohibition of importing clams in the
raw state.

The Auto Park and Ferry Whar!
committee gave a full report of pro-
gress, the completion of the construe:
tion of the arch, including the stain-
ing of same. The appreciation of the
Board for the generous donation ot
Mr. Carl Pendray, of shingling sain.
was voiced.

It is estimated that about six-
hundred parties have camped in the
Auto Park during the season and
many expressions of appreciation of
the tourists have been received, of
the - arrangements made for their
-comfort; plenty of dry wood, a clean
camp and fresh water easy ACCceSs-
ible being especially noted. It is
recognized that some arrangements
will have to be made next year to
have a caretaken in charge, and a
small fee made for the use of the

camp, as the work has got beyond
the individual efforts of the irein
bers of the camp committee.

On Tuesday afternoon the home
of Mrs. H. H. Shade, Fifth Street,
was the scene of a most enjoyable
social function when Mrs. H. H.
Shade, Mrs. Stanley Brethour and
Mrs. J. McLeod, were joint hustesses
at a charming garden party and
handkerchief shower in honor of
Mrs. F. G. Parkes, who is leaving
for Port Angeles shortly.

The afternoon was interspersed
with music rendered by Mrs. Geo.
McLean and Mrs. W. Whiting.

A competition for the best initial
embrodered on a tea cloth, for
which two prizes were given, was
won by Mrs. W. Whiting, married
ladies, and Miss M. Wakefield, sin-
gle ladies. The cloth, when finished,
is to be presented to Mrs. Parkes as
& rememberance of all who were
present.

A very dainty tea was then served,
after which Mrs. Stanley Brethour,
in an appropriate speech, expressed
her regret at the departure of Mrs.
Parkes, her very esteemed friend, in
which she was sure all the company
joined. Mrs. Parkes suitably re-
sponded.

Miss Dulcie Brethour and Miss
Barbara Parkes then presented Mrs.
Parkes with a splendid variety of
handkerchiefs, amounting in number
‘o thirty-one, two of which came
through the mail from Mrs. Harri-
son and Mrs. Mitchell.
