Visiting Elks to
Spend Two Millions

Members of the Elks' lodge in Den
yer have organized a soliciting com
mittee, which is making efforts to
raise that part Of the 100000 needed
to entertain the Elks at their reun-
ion in July which has not already
been subscribed. Out of town resi-.
dents have been very generous in
their subscriptions to this fund, and
members of the lodge in that citv.
have also come forward with yolun-
tary contributions, tor, as an invest
ment, it is believed that the Elks will
spend $4,000. 900 in Colorado. This
statement is verified by the experience
Of cities that have entertained the an
uual reunion of Elks In former years.
It Is certain that Denver will have
one OF the largest crowds that has
ever attended such a gathering. Al
ready enough rooms have been con
tracted for at the hotels and rooming
houses to absolutely guarantee an at
tendance which will be greater than
any similar gathering In the history
OF the order. There is hardly a room
in any Denver hotel which has not
already been engaged for the week IL
which the Elks will be there.
