TOOK A TROLLEY RIDE
Members of WOodmen Head
Camp Pay Visit to Murray.
HAD ENJOYABLE TIME
BUSINESS TRANSACTED BY TWO
BODIES YESTERDAY.

Citizens living along the quiet thor
oughfare between Salt Lake and Muir
ray, commonly known as the State
road, were thrown into state of ag-
gravated insomnia last night by the ap-
pearance of a half dozen Illuminated
street cars running in a string. From
25$ pairs of lungs came shouts of
laughter and bursts of song, and the
din wasn't lessened any by the con-
tinual whirr of the motor carried b.
each car
The WOodmen were responsible for
it ALL They quit business early
enough in the evening to get aboard
the cars on State street and were taken
over the line of the Rapid Transit about
as fast as the average chopper cares
to travel. The run down to Murray
was made in five minutes less than
the schedule time.
Upon their arrival the visitors De-
came the guests of Murray Camp at
the 0pera house, where an elaborate
reception and BANQUET was served,
with short speeches and Misunderstanding
in between. The good people returned
at midnight with many words Of
praise for the splendid reception ac-
corded them by the Murray neighboTs
and the jolly trolley ride rendered by
the Salt Lake entertainment commit
tee.
Session of Head Camp.
The head camp held a session yes
terday afternoon, a photograph being
made of the distinguished gathering
previous to the beginning of the meet
ing. The introduction of resolutions
consumed the greater part of the time,
and a motion to the effect that each
speaker in debate be restricted to ten
minutes carried. The remainder of the
session was devoted to the reading of
reports of committees.
One of the resolutions acted on fav-
/ Orably asked the head council to ap-
point a committee to visit the Grand
Grove, Women of Woodcraft, and ex-
tend TO that body the compliments of
the WoOdmen of the World. The fol-
lowing were named as members of the
committee: Head Banker Cooper, Past
Head Council Keith, NeighbOr Oliver
of Golden Gate camp, Neighbor Stem
house of Denver and Head Sentry Ell
lott. Neighbor Oliver was elected
chairman of the delegation.
The committee was greeted with
grand honors by the Women of Wood
craft, after which its members were
serenely introduced. Neighbor Oliver
made a neat and appropriate speech,
expressing the sentiment of the Wood
men towards the auxiliary. Then
l Neighbor Bill Elliott talked in a happy
vein, and Neighbor Keith was still
happier. He explained that the COM
mittee would have called earlier but for
fierce wrangle arising as to who
should be chairman. 1t had been I'M
derstood that the hest-looking man
should be given the honor. DIR. Sten-
house evoked considerable applause by
his address. which contained character
iStic witticisms.
Held Two Sessions.
The Women of Woodcraft held two
sessions, their entire time being taken
up with the Introduction of resolutions
and the referring of them to the va
rious subcommittee Partial reports
from some committees were also heard.
The visit of the committee from the
WoOdmen was the pleasant feature of
the meeting in the afternoon.
The Wow Vows, those lads who made
such a hit around the Knutsford and
at the lake with their drill, left last
evening over the Rio Grande Western
for Denver. Their departure was wit
messed by the grand officers of the
WOodmen, who shook hands with the
boys before they boarded the car. The
team is not lacking in lung power and
the responsive cheers for the order, the
officers. Salt Lake and everybody else
made the hotel corridor ring.
There is no set programme for today.
The visitors will distribute themselves
among the various churches and make
il a day of rest.
