ELKS CONVENTION
Members of the Lodge Greatly
Pleased With Its Progress.

i The Elks who are going to Denver
next July to attend the annual re-
union and Grand Lodge session of the
order are very much interested in
the proceedings of the highest body.
The order has grown so rapidly with
in the past few years that there is
some agitation in favor of having. the
Grand Lodge meeting only once in
four years, the same as a national
convention; or at least every other
year. The membership now amounts
to a half million, and the lodges
extensive has become the work of
the Grand Lodge Exalted Ruler that
it is suggested that at the meeting in
Denver he be voted a salary, and di-
directed to givegall his time to the
work of the organization. 1t is pro-
posed to make HIS salary at least
$4,000 per year, iIrorder that he can
leave his customary business and de-
vote enough time to the orders in
terest to justify the payment of more
than the customary expenses and
mileage which he now receives.
Elks are>veryS greatly interested
in the meeting in Denver in July, for
the reason that the meeting is to be
held in a western city, and a western
tone and flavor will be given to the
proceedings. 1t seems that all the
Elks OF this section of the state are
arranging to go to Denver, as much
for the amusement features of the
annual meeting as because they are
members of the order. There will
be many thousands of excursionists
Journey to the capital of Colorado at
the time the Elks reunion meets
there-taking advantage of the spec
ial rates that will be given.
Elks of Colorado have arranged to
spend 10000 in elaborate enter.
tainment of the visitors. They are
planning to, give a. great wild wes'
show and have a parade of snow
from the nearby mountains through
the streets of the city during the re
union, and give the greatest illumin
alton of fireworks and electric lights
that have ever been arranged for the
edifcation of the visitor to an Am
erican city. A solemn promise has
been made that no prices will be
raised during the convention, an6
hotel accommodations will be plenti
full and convenient. i

NEW BUILDINGS
BEING ERECTED.
San Francisco Sees Encouragement
in the Progress Being Made
on Every Side.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jun 9:-The
Announcement of plans for rebuilding
has certainly had favorable effect on
the condition here. 1t will only be a
few months before the principal
streets will be Genes of tremendous
activity. On Market street the num-
Der of class A Office buildings include
the Magee building, near Geary;
Adams and Kibbe, corner Kearny;
Head and Morrow, near Suffer; Del
ger, corner Sixth; A. A. Moore, Jr.,
corner Second; Croker Estate, west
of -Crocker-Woolworth Bank. These
buildings will range from five to
twelve floors and will cost from
5000, 900 to $750,000.
On Montgomery street the Mills
building will be first ready for occu-
pancy, since the steel frame Is intact,
and only the walls and interior need
restoration. Between Pine and Bush,
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, Jr., is plan
ming the erection of a fo~urteen-story
structure, and the valuable frontage
on both sides of this street will be
rapidly built up.
On the corner of California street
the restoration of the Kohl building
is proceeding with marvellous rapid
ity. All elevators are running and
the facilities for transaction of bust
ness are centering important interests
here.
Kearny street will be greatly bene-
fitted. The lower end of the street,
which had degenerated sadly, prom
Uses to blossom out as a district OF
sky-scrapers. George Fife has an
nounced his intention to construct a
ten-story Office on the northwest r
ner of Pine and Kearny-the Mars
ton building, corner Hardy place, will
be hurried to completion, and others
planned include a handsome nine
story block at corner Suffer, owned
by Burke & Toolman.
On Sansome the pace will be set by
the Sloss building-to be one of the
finest in the city. Henry Sonntag
will rebuild on the northwest corner
