| walton. The discourse was very interest
| ing and was closely followed by the many

! peculiar inscription had great privileges

| ed hall and around a laden board saw
| many men. They were dressed in no odd

| men--were there. Men whose faces are
| familiar in Seattle and on the Sound and

/ cping interests. II was the first annual
! banquet OF the lumbermen, and was held
1 In the dining room Of thu Rainier-Crand
| hotel. The lumbermen are the Hoo Hoo,
/ and vice versa.
Nearly all present wore the emblem OF
! the order. a black cat rampant and the
| few invited guests were easily dfstin-
! guished by absence Of this badge. It was
| hard to recognize Ia the fovial crowd
mon known in everyday life as hard
/ workers whose time and attention Is

! OF social enjoyment These threw aside
! business aspects last night and let their
faces shine with good fellowship and con-
/ VITALITY. The workAday world was
