VoL t Forest Grove, Washington County, Oregon, Thursday, April 7,1904. Forest Grove Commercial Club Being Organized to Evade the City Liquor Ordinance A new feature has developed in our city life. A Club is now organized oilled the Forest Grove Commercial Club, whose object is to open club rooms with a bar attached where the members can obtain liquid refresh ments, play games and read the papers and periodicals. A billiard parlor will also be opened. Other features will be added from time to time. The government liquor license will be paid semi-annually. These priveleges will be open to members only as a violat io n of the city liquor ordinance would result should it be extended to per sons other than members. The site will be the Iron House remodled to accomodate the club. The Joke is on Chester Last week we called at ention to Chester Johnson’s ability with the brush and owing to the embarrasing position it might have placed him in we refrained from stating the exact limits of his talents. However he was not destined to remain an unheard of artist, as the Sunday Oregonian asks the pertinent question “ On canvass or shoes?” We leave it to Chester to explain. Sunday School room which in turn opens into the auditorium with Flexir fold doors. The seating capacity of the main room is about 800 and of the Sunday School room 175, making when combined, a room seating 475 people. The building will be heated by 2 furnaces and ventilated with the hot air stock. The cost is estimated to be about $7500. The Norman style of architecture will be followed and the view will be pleasing from all directions. Two main entrances will face the east, while south and west exits will add to the convenience of the church. We can well be proud of the structure if built along the lines now adopted. No. 47. HON.
