Elks' "High Jinks"


Elks assembled at the opera
house prepared to have the time
of their lives at their seventh an
nual social session. This year a
poverty ball was on the pro-
gram and it is but fair to say
that the occasion was the most
pleasurable in the history of the
local organization. Prizes were
given for the most appropriate
costume, Mrs. F. w. Nelson Win
ming first prize for ladies, and R.
L. Moore succeeding in captur
ing the gentlemen's prize.
Waite's orchestra furnished the
best of music and aided in max
ing the affair the hugh success
it proved to be.
The grand march started
promptly at 9 o'clock led by
Mr.. and Mrs. Langowsky and
then started a carnival of fun
that lasted until the wee small
hours.
Among the hits of the evening
was the Mexican stump speech
delivered by l.. Kavanaugh of
the Albuquerque lodge who ap-
peared in the regulation Albu-
querque costume.
The parade of the Elks lead by
the "Bill Drum Corps" +" the ses-
sion of the Kangaroo court, vo-
cal solos by Miss Ruth Hesser,
Miss Rice and Mrs R. L. Moore
enlivened the intermission period.
The lunch was served by mine
Host Smith of the Harvey house
and filled the "Bills" in every
way.
Every credit is due Messrs
Langowsky, Sewers and CHS
holm for the manner in which
they conducted this social ses-
sion as it will prove a landmark
in the doings of the local lodge
which is noted for it's good times
and affable style.
The programs were a work OF
art, embracing not only the
dance order, list of committees
ETC., but likewise a menu that
was the limit in the line of weird
eatables.
At the Elks' dance Col. Thurs
ton seeing nothing but disaster
ahead of him departed just be-
fore the session of the court, but
when he finally returned to the
hall he was haudcuffed hard and
fast and he took the treatment
with smile thinking that the
Joke would last bat a few min

Yesterday afternoon the Santa

freight train met in a head on
collision at the sharp curve at
Cliffs, about five miles this side
of Flagstaff. There was no one
hurt on either train, the usual
luck of the road having been on
hand. Although only meagre
details can be obtained, it is
thought that the wreck was
caused by the freight train not
getting in on the siding in time.
The engines of the trains were

Talk With Harvle Jordan.

Birmingham, Ala. Jan. 15.-ID
speaking about the fight being made
to secure fraud order against the
New York cotton exchange, Presi>
dent Harvte Jordan, of the Southern
Cotton association, said: "It is be-
ing carried on as rapidly as possible,
and will, no doubt, result in forcing
the New York cotton exchange to do
a legitimate business, or else ad.
nit to the world that they are main
tanning game of pure speculation y
When asked if the New York cotton
exchange would bring any means to
oppose his reelection, Mr.. Jordan
said: Undoubtedly they would be
glad to see me defeated. AS the pres
ident of the Southern Cotton associa-
ton, l have made myself conspicu-
Gus in the past few years. Their
wires ramify the south. They are
able to subsidize newspapers and pre-
iudice the cause against me.

Scheme of Chicago and Middle West

Washington, Jan. 15.-If a scheme
which was formulated Monday is sue
cessful, there will likely be no riv-
ers and harbors appropriation this
year.
Chicago and other middle west del
egations here in the interest of a IA
foot waterway from the gulf to the
lakes, are trying TO inaugurate a
movement for putting their provisions
into the rivers and harbors bill, by
amendment on the floor of the house
In other words, to go over Mr. Bur-
tons head and the heads of the other
members of his committee, to the
house.
Mr.. Burton and all the members of
the committee will resist this to the
ottermOst, for the well es established
principle of allowing the rivers and
harbQrs committee to determine these
matters is considered a good one, and
if the bill is mutilated in this one
particular, il may be amended all
throughout, and rather than allow this
ii is considered not unlikely that the
friends of Mr.. Burton and of the prin-
ciple which has prevailed, will cause
the whole bill to be killed,
