The much coveted charter for an Elk
lodge in Hoquiam, has BEEN denied by
that order, much to the chagrin of oul
local members. On what ground the
charter was refused, we do not know
but suppose it was owing to the con.
tiguity OF the two cities, which will soon
be be one, if Hoquam's phenomena
growth continues. The building OF the
new and beautiful Elks hall no doubt wal
instrumental in saving the Aberdeen
lodge from being divided. - Hcquiau
