at Baltimore.
WILL TAKE A DRILL TEAM
WORK OF REMOVING STREET
DECORATIONS HAS BEGUN.

THE SALT LAKE ELKS have al
ready begun TO lay their plans TO
go to Baltimore next year. The
success of the grand lodge and annual
reunion in Zion has stimulated an in
terest in conventions, and the boys
now propose to go east in 1903 and add
other laurels to their wreath by cap
turing prize or two
Those who are inclined to the mill
tary are casting around for a drill
team to take to the Oyster City and
bring back an award. A number of
the members of the local lodge belong
to the national guard, and they have
expressed a willingness to drill a corps
until they will make a creditable show
ing
The badge which the Elks want to
take east will be emblematic of the
resources of the state; something
which will call attention to mining,
irrigation, stock and fruit growing.
The suits to be worn by the drill team
viii be Identical with those the lodge
ordered for the last convention They
were voted the most becoming and
attractive in the parade.
Removing the Decorations.
Slowly. but surely. the adornments
all over the city in honor of the visit
ing Elks and their friends are being
taken down. By Tuesday it is thought
there will not be a trace of the dec
oratjons which added so much to the
attractiveness of Salt Lake last week.
The Salt Lake Electrical Supply COM
pany. which was awarded the street
illumination. had several gangs of men
at work all day yesterday removing
the miles of extra wires and the 1000
incandescent globes. IL will require
several days to take them down.
At s O'Clock last evening the Elks
headquarters at 131 South Main street
in the Spencer Clawson & Co store,
were closed The turning of the key
in the lock was the last official act of
the chairman of the executive COM
mittee, to whom. as much as any other
single individual, is due the success of
the grand lodge and annual reunion.
Wins Mounted Elk
The $1,000 mounted elk goes to the
Omaha lodge, of which Grand Exalted
Ruler George P Cronk is a member.
The number which won the specimen
was 30s. held by Thomas F. Balfe. a
plumber of that city. When notified
that he held the ticket. he said he
would present the elk to his lodge.
The animal was killed in the Jackson
Hole by Captain Smith.
Before the grand lodge officers left
Salt Lake for their respective homes
they assured the members of lodge No,
IS that the first Elk to be admitted
TO the Elks' National home at Bedford
City, Va, should be a Salt Lake man,
in recognition of the success of the
reunion. The home will be opened
about Oct. /.

The office Of county treasurer was

the convention to endorse Mr.. Dou-

to his feet with an emphatic protest.
Mr.. Keith said that he never heard of
but one Democrat who had the temer-
ity to endorse a Republican for office
and he was now dead. This put a
quietus on the endorsement business
