Rainier Lodge No. 1876 had one of the
most interesting sessions in It's history
at its new hall in New York Block on
Wednesday evening. The hall was well
filled with enthusiastic members. After
an interesting business session, during
which ten applicants were elected to
membership and two initiated, the re-
mainder OF the evening was devoted to
sociabilty. Visitors were present from
a number of other lodges, among them
being Sister Steers of San Francisco
Lodge No. 80, who made an interesting
address, telling the members of the
growth and progress OF the order and
the good it had accomplished in other
localities. Refreshments were served
during the evening and everybody had a
jolly good time. Rainier Lodge expects
to initiate at its next meeting the lar
gest class of members handled at one
time for some months. Seattle Lodge
No. 23S will have a big time on next
Wednesday evening. A large number
of applications for membership will I've

campaign draws to a close, and there
will be lively times from now on. FIRE.
