The installation of Lewiston lodge
of Elks, No. S96, which takes place
next Tuesday is the talk of the entire
through the various papers of the coun-
try that much preparation is being
made among Elks in the different
towns who are arranging their affairs
so that they may be able to attend the
installation of the lodge and incident
ally to take part in the exercises during
which number of local candidates will
attempt to brave the trials to the home
of Elkdom. 1t has been particularly
noticeable during the past week that
many of the prospective and hopeful
candidates are either feeling sick or
have been troubled with unexpected
accidents which they are in hopes will
appeal to the sympathies OF the Of
ficers in charge.
1t has been stated that many of the
local Elks have hinted that II would be
much easier to handle dead man than
a live one. The morning after will
show the results.

one hundred Elks will leave that city
to be i'm attendance and II is also an
nounced that many of the business
men there are endeavoring to get up
general business mems excursion and it
is possible that a special train will be
sent out from that city.
1t has been suggested that II the
business men of Spokane are contem-
plating making the trip here during the
same day with the Elks that the Com
mercial club of this city should at once
meet and send an invitation to Spo-
kane and also make proper arrange
ments to take care of the guests. The
following is the article which appeared
in yesterdays Spokesman Review:
I'm common with other points within
easy reaching distance from Lewiston,
Idaho Spokane has been given a spe-
cial rate OF one and one third fares for
the round trip by the Northern Pacific
next Tuesday. when a new lodge of
Elks will be instituted at Lewiston.
Spokane lodge of Elks has taken the
matter up and probably 100 will go to
Lewiston on that evening. 1t has also
been suggested that a business mems
excursion to the chief city of Northern
Idaho will be in order. AS yet nothing
definite has been decided, but there is

sue 50 worth of stock for every dollars
worth subscribed.
The action taken. by the club last
comment in the city today and much
enthusiasm is being shown by the peo-
pie since the matter has come to a
final issue. There can be no question
concerning the great benefit to be de-
rived by the city of Lewiston should
the proposed line be built. The coun-
try between here and Grangeville es-
pecially on the Craig mountains is very
productive and it's growth has in the
past been greatly retarded through the
inefficiency and lack of proper trans
portation. Now that transportation is
practically assured with the building
of the proposed line it will open to this
city increased business relations that
have heretofore been seriously handi
capped.
The board transacted much addition
al business after the matter of the
electric line project was disposed Of
The committee on literature stated that
they had not yet found time to make
their report owing TO the fact that
there were so many of them that it was
impossible to get them together. 1t
was suggested that a special committee
be appointed to arrange for getting out
suitable literature descriptive and IL
Illustrative of this section of the coun-
try which can be mailed or given to
those making inquiries
Messrs. Babb, Afford, Schleicher and
Cox were placed on the special COM
mittee to gather data and illustrations
in the way of photographs of different
scenes in and around Lewiston that
could be Incorporated into pamphlet
for distribution. 1t is proposed to have
at least from ten to twenty thousand
of these pamphlets printed.
The matter of making the CONNER
cial club a social organization as well
as a business one was brought up by
member of the board and generally
discussed. This feature will be looked
into more fully after the club gets into
their new quarters in the Masonic
temple. Steps are now being taken
by each member of the board to induce
new members to join the organization
which is destined to induce new men,
bers to Join the organization which is
destined to be one of the leading Com
