ON the steamer Idaho as a most
delightful event, and one which the
press gang would not have exchanged
for any other that could have been
planned for the delectation Of the
visitors. Truly the members Of the
association were royalty treated by
the citizens Of Occur d'AIene, and it
would certainly be the grossest of In
gratitude If any one who had the ex-
treme pleasure Of being present on
this occasion failed TO give express
Ion 20 the sentiment which a natural
being could not help but feel. - Koot-

The large delegation of Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs who attended
the grand lodge at Occur d'AIene
have returned and IL they ever had q
better time or were more royalty
entertained none Of them remembered
IT. From the time they arrived in
Occur d'Alene until they left, the
citizens and members OF the order
did everything possible TO make their
stay pleasant. A steamboat excurs-.
ion was one Of the principle features
in which over 400 Odd Fellows and
Rsbekahs spent the day on the beauti-
full lake and were treated to a magni-
ficent banquet. During their stay In
Spokane they were also entertained
by members Of the order and a big
banquet provided. The entire trip
was q most delightful one and all
are loud in their praises of the
hospitality Of their entertainers. -
