Saturday evening. Two new members
were taken in, and judging from the
thorough manner in which the lodge goat
carried the boys through and finished
them up with "royal bumper" it is
agreed they will make frst-class mem
bers. The ladies gained access to the
upper floor of the hall building and
spread an elegant repast, and when all
was ready the goat was tied up at their
request and the members and visitors en-
joyed the good things set before them to
their hearts content. After supper an
open session of the camp was held with
the ladies in attendance. Steps were
taken to organize camp of the Royal
Neighbor. Zillah camp is to be congrat-
ulated on it's fine new hall and the active
interest taken in the camp by all the
members. They are now one of the ten
best camps in the state of Washington
