Local Py(hians Will Try to Secure

THE DELEGATES WILL WORK FOR IT
UNIFORM RANK COMPANIES WILL
ALSO HOLD ANNUAL EN-
CAMPMENT IN CITY.

At the last meeting of Columbia
lodge No. 8, knights of Pythias, the
delegates to the grand lodge, which
meets in Seattle in May, were in
structed to use all honorable means to
secure the meeting of the grand lodge
in Walla Walla in 1907 Last year a
majority of the members of the grand
body wanted to come to Walla Walla
this year, but the local knights did not
believe they were in a position to
handle the proposition and the dele
gates from Columbia lodge declined the
honor. Since that item this lodge has
increased it's membership to quite a
number and the organization feels that
next week it will be able to provide
for the grand body in proper shape.
If Walla Walla is successful in Sc
curing the meeting it will be the means
of bringing to the city fully 800 men,
bers of the order and quite a number
of Rathbone Sisters In addition there
will be a large attendance Of the uni
form rank, who will drill for prizes
during the time of the session.
