On Monday evening next, sharp at six o’clock the Board of Trade will fittingly celebrate the opening of the new handsome railway station which has been erected at this point by the Canadian National Railways.
Covers for some 75 persons will be laid and the guests of the Board will be prominent officials of the railroad. After the banquet the premises will be thrown open for public inspection and following this the several offices and departments are to be transferred from their "box-car homes" where these have been carried on since the destruction of the former premises by fire.
The building is a most handsome structure ranking among the highest type of premises for even much larger towns than this and will indeed proved a valuable aquisition to the the twon buildings as well as form an attractive aighting spot for the thousands of travelllers who pass through annually.
It is replete with every detail and fully modern in its appointments and everyone connected with its erection is due for commendation upon the completion of such a railway stration for Wainwright.
Mr. G. C. Siddall, president of the Board of Trade will act as chairman of the gathering and among the speakers will be Superintendent W. Devenish, Mayor Forster, Mr. John Blue, of the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce and others.
In connection with this opening the C. N. Recreation association will hold their first annual dance in the theatre and it is expected that the officials present for the opening will also grace that function with their presence. An augmented orchestra is being arranged for the occasion and a splendid supper provided so that all in all Monday next should stand out as another red-letter day in Wainwright history.
