 We cannot but express our apprecia tion of the service rendered Western Lolge by the ladies and gentlemen who took part in the entertainment.

Watkins, May Bell Blakely and Kate Taggart, the Misses Bertha Beecher and Grace Overman, Messrs. Walter Abrams,
 - Carr, Richard Taggart and Lew Blakely, who all gave their services free ly and voluntarily. In the hearts of every member of Western Lodge will their memory ever be enshrined
 Wednesday evening the grand ball took place. Lake Hall had been hand somely decorated for the occasion and everything movable taken from the building. The big veran1a had been thoroughly oraced up to accommodate the crowd that made it's appearance long before the grand march was announced. The room was too crowded, but every body enjoyed the josiling and pumping. It seemed as though everybody within a radius of fifty miles was there, all bent on having happy time.

The greater part of the town was at the train last night to see the visitors aboard the train. With their departure ended one of the most successful sessions of grand lodge ever held in Arizona.
