The remarkable success OF the enter
tainments given Tuesday evening by
QuInlin Lodge No. lsO.. b. p. o. E.. has
led to several probable results which

The principal object OF both enter

should be a nucleus for the necessary
monies 20 be raised with which 10 meet
the expenses OF Quinlln 10 the national
next summer. The fondest hopes Of all
were more than realized. rhe Stan
ford University boys were royalty re-
celved. and carried away with them a
fair amount Of revenue for their trou-
bic and artistic work. while Quinlin
Lodge realized a handsome net profit.
Astorians one and all helped Quinlin to
properly entertain the visitors. and at
the same time roll up a goodly sized
nest egg for Quinlin's future plans.
Now. when Quinlin's members reach
the East next season II is one Of the
most reasonable things TO suppose that
every man OF them will lose no oppor-

Chinook salmon of the Columbia which
IS the king Of fish and superior to any
Ither food fish produced in the world.
Every man in the order who goes to
