BYRON L. OLIVER
Whole Week of Fun Planned by the
Local AntIered Tribe for En-.
tertainment of Mormon
City Guests

Five hundred Salt Lake City Elks will
receive the high sign from. almost as
many Los Angeles antlered brothers to-
night when the Salt Lake City special
trains roll into the Salt Lake station
with their loads of merrymakers. The
Los Angeles delegation, with Byron l..
oliver, the exalted ruler. at it's head,
will wait at the station till the visit
ors come, after which the strangers will
be conducted to their hotels.
The present visit is a direct result
of the jolly time shown the visiting
tribe on the occasion of their junket
to the Angel City last year. At that
time the country looked so good to
them that they decided to repeat their
visit. The delegation from Salt Lake,
No. S5. which will come in today al
most 500 strong, is not coming official
ly; but when Elks meet no questions
are asked about formality. Suffice to
say the visitors will be kept moving to
take in all the entertainment provided
for them.
In addition to the regular train which
left Salt Lake at 8 o'clock Saturday
night, two specials left at IL o'clock
These were made up of fifteen Pullman
sleepers, dining and baggage cars.
peding herd from the great salt sea

local Elks do not expect them much
before midnight A prominent Elk said
last night: THE party will stop for two
or three hours at San Bernardino, and
Riverside will hold them for an hour
and a half If you know Elks you will
appreciate the fact that when once
they are turned loose in the orange and
lemon groves and among the violets
and flowers they won't break away
very promptly.
