formed the lodge that he had met and
conversed with the grand master work

signified his intention of visiting Eagle

there to greet the distinguished visitor,
and a special invitation is hereby ex-
tended to the brothers of every lodge

The past week has been somewhat
quiet in A. o. U. w. affairs. It was
stated that the weather, which has
been hot and oppressive. had an in
fiuence over the members and kept
them from the lodge looms. But
whether it has or has not the result
has been that the attendances have not
been heavy. But those interested in
the good of the order have been on
deck. as usual, and the routine bust
ness has been attended to by the
faithful few just the same.
Salt Lake Valley lodge was to have
had a Junior initiation on Thursday
evening last. but the applicant, who
resides at Sandy. did not materialize.

This action will be appreciated by the
majority of the members of No. II, who
realize that dollar saved now-a-davs
is a dollar earned. There are no mem
bers on this lodges sick list just now,
and that is a cause for congratulation.
