And the cry ls: Still they GOMEZ" Is
absolutely true OF the returning Elks
from the Denver meeting All the hotels
are filled and crowded folding beds being
at a premium. and the right TO breathe
being questioned. They are q jolly

Elk delegations a splendid success.
C. H. Ward, exalted ruler of the Pasa-
dena. Cal. lodge. is at the Kenyon and
with a large party Is In the swim for
lauding the Elks' convention. He said

known as the Eastern Nightingale" )"
I'VE had the time OF our lives, and
shall never forget the picture OF the Salt
Lake floats and bands. II you care to
say so, you may state that the Pitts
burg lodge expended S41 900 for uniforms
aud paraphernalia for that occasion, and
grand to see so many good men and wo-
men in the cause OF charity, and, after
all was said and done. the underlying
cause OF all was that these people were
