Sir Knight Walter H. Graves, of Denver,
member of Rio Grande Del Norte Command
cry, of Alamosa, Col, has been in the city
during the past week and speaks in glowing
terms OF the preparations which are being
made in Denver for the conclave, which, it is
unnecessary to state, are being carried out on
the broad-gauge Western style. An immense
building will be erected, as large as the Chi
cago Auditorium, in which the meetings of the
Grand Encampment will be held, and which
will be arranged with a series of rooms sur
rounding the central hall, in which every visit
ing commandery can establish headquarters
for the transaction of official business The
hotel Accommodations will be ample, several
mammoth structures already approaching
completion will add to the already large list
of hotels, and an item which will be good
news to the Washington fraters is the fact that
during this year 900 will be expended in
laying new pavements
The committee of sir knights from De
Molay Commandery No. 4, who visited Den
yer, Col, recently to obtain accommodations
and horses for the commandery during the
next triennial conclave, have returned to the
city, not only enthusiastic over the success
full result of their mission, but brimful with
enthusiasm over their courteous reception
and hospitable entertainment in the hustling
Western city. The committee consisted Of
Sirs Frank Schwarz, Senior Warden; James
NJ Hodges, Generalissimo; Thomas Somer-
vile, Past Eminent Commander; e. q.
Schafer, A. Leffler, John Vogt, and James M.
Ford. They left Washington on Saturday,
May 9, in the palace car "Wildwood," ;" which
is one of those railway palaces fitted
with all the conveniences of modern
travel. The journey West was broken by
stop at ST. Louis of one day, which was
pleasantly spent in viewing the sights of the
city under the escort of congenial fraters.
The arrival at Denver was the occasion of
genuine ovation from the big-hearted Western
templars and when all the arrangements
were concluded OH the 10th, and the party re-
sumed their journey, 1t was with many re-
grets that their visit could not be prolonged.
After leaving Denver one day was spent in
the s'Garden of the Gods" which was tho
roughly enjoyed, and on the return trip one
day In each city was spent In familiarizing
themselves with the attractions of Kansas
City, Chicago, and Cincinnati. In speaking
of the trip James M. Hodges remarked that
sit was the happiest twelve days of his life
