''ON TO NORTH YAKIMA"
Roslyn Lodges Making Preparations For Big
Excursion To This City

Some time during the fruit rippening
season in this valley the people OF Ros-
Ign, Cle-Elum, Thorp and Ellensburg
will make an excursion to this city.
Preparations have already been begun
for this event and the people of the
west end of the valley look forward with
great anticipations to it. The Cascade
Miner, published at Roslyn, made the
following announcement last week.
"a movement is on foot among the
lodges of this city to have big gala
day some time during the summer, and
hire an excursion train and spend the
day in North Yakima. The initial steps
have already been taken by some of the
lodges and all the others will soon
fall in line. At their last meeting the
Odd Fellows lodge took vote on the
proposition and it was carried unani-
mously; the same result will almost
certainly follow when the vote is taken
by other lodges in the city. The agent
of the Northern Pacific at this place has
already been consulted to ascertain the
probable cost of the train and the thing
is being talked OF industriously Roslyn
alone can furnish over 900 lodge peo-
pie, almost every one of whom will only
be too willing and anxious to take trip
to the fair queen city of the Yakima val
ley. and to enjoy view of her fruit and
flowers. Besides the lodges of Roslyn it
is more than likely that the lodges of
Cle-Elum, Thorp and Ellensburg will be
glad to take day off and join the pro-
cession to North Yakima. OF course
any one who wishes will be at liberty to
go and it is probable that great many
will avail themselves of the opportunity.
1t is thought at the present time that
about the time fruit is ripe in the Yak
ina valley will be the best time to take
the trip, but that question will be deter
mined later on.
In view of the fact that the mines
in Roslyn have worked continuously for
the past two years, the people feel in
need of a rest and day of recreation,
and therefore the idea OF trip to North
Yakima was evolved. The arrange
ments will soon assume definite shape
and as soon as the time arrives the fact
will be announced in the Miner. J. Y.
Patton has been made the secretary and
wishes to open correspondence with some
of the leading citizens of North Yakima
i'll regard to making arrangements.
From this time forward the watchword
will be, "On to North Yakimau'
In view OF the above the Commercial
club of this city should at once take steps
to cooperate with the people of the
above named cities with regard to the
excursion, and nothing should be left
undone to make the event grand sue
cess. Inasmuch as the lodges OF those
cities have been instrumental in start
ing the movement, all the lodges OF this
city should at once take action on the
question and extend the neighboring
cities hearty invitation, and when
they come down give them a cordial
welcome. There isn't lodge in this
city but what can throw open its doors
to the visitors and make them feel at
home while here. Preparations should
be made for the entertainment OF these
people. The farmers should be asked
to contribute fruits and vegetables to
make display in some one of the vari-
GUS halls of the city and also to furnish
a banquet to be arranged for theirenter
tainment. Let the people stir them
selves now that the citizens OF Kittitas
county have signified their intention of
coming down, and make it one of the
warmest welcomes ever extended by a
thriving populous to an invading host
of well meaning people.
