delegations expected from the Pacific coast
will not be at the encampment this year.
according to telegram received at head
quarters yesterday, because of the refusal
of the railroads running through the
States of California, Oregon, Washington
and other extreme Western States refusing
to give a rate which would make 1t possible
for anything like a representative gather
ing of uniformed Knights. This has been a
keen disappointment to the officers, as
much was expected from the CaIifornians
in the way of drills.
