Elkdom fairly outdid itself last
night in the "bon voyage" session
which was held in honor of John Din
ME, who with Mrs. Dinnie leaves to-
morrow for a several months trip
through Eupore. The local members
were out in force. and number of
prominent Elks from outside the city
were present, including Ex-Governor.
Sarles, of Hillsboro, and Congress-
man GrOnna of LakOta. More than
two hundred sat down to the sumptu-
GUS banquet which was spread in the
banquetting hall of the lodge room.
The spread was the most elaborate
ever made even by these famous en-
tertainers. When ample justice had
been done to the things which make
the inner man satisfied, the flow Of
oratory and good will began. Cover
nor Sarles was POSTMASTER, and in
his happiest vein, which is certainly
the best ever, kept the events moving
in the liveliest fashion possible. Re-
spOnses were made by Congressman
Gronna, State Senator Taylor, Judge
Fisk of the supreme court, o. NJ.
Hatcher, J. D. Bacon. S. Collins, A. C.
Reinecke and j. r. Church. The
speakers all paid a high tribute to
Mr.. Dinnie and spoke of the work he
done in building up the city, and add
ing to its commercial prosperity. Now
that he is retiring from active bust
nd fob
heartiest wishes of his fellow citizens,
those who have known him longest
and best go with him, and If their
wishes for his prosperity can have any
effect on his voyage and pleasure trip
which begins tomorrow, there can be
no question as to its success.
Mr.. Dinnie responded to the talks in
feeling address in which he ex-
pressed his heartfelt appreciation of
the good wishes of his fellow citizens,
and while he admitted that he was
leaving the burden of business cares
to younger shoulders, he was still
identified and always would be with
the prosperity and development of
Grand Forks. A social session fol-
lowed the banquet and the meeting adj
journed in the wee sma' hours of
the morning. Norman B. Black sang
few selections, among them Bull
lard's "Stein Song" annie Laurie"
and several which were truly Scotch.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dinnie will leave tomOr-
row night with large party of North
Dakotans for trip through Europe,
which will occupy nearly all the sum-
mer and will include tho most noted
and interesting places in the old
world. The party will spend three
days at st. Paul, from which place
they will go to Boston, where they will
take another three days in looking
over the places of interest in the city
of Beaneaters. They will sail from
that port April q, on the Romantic
of the famous White Star line direct
for Europe. The first stop will be at
Gibraltar, the famous English fortress,
where sufficient time will be given the
tourists to inspect that famous de-
tense, and they will then sail for
Algiers in Africa, and from that port
for Naples, at which place they will
leave the ship and travel by land.
After viewing the wonders and beau
ties of the famous city of Naples, they
will spend a few days amid the ruins
of POmpeii and an ascent to the top
of the noted Vesuvius, from which
place they will look down into the
fiery regions that gave the ancients
their ideas of the fires and sulphuric
flames of the lower regions. Seven
days will be spent at Rome, where a
call will probably be made on the
Worlds Sunday School convention,
{n1 },, hot Mt
At Rome the party which Mr.. and Mrs.
Dinnie will be with, will leave the
route of the steamship company and
will travel the rest of the way through
Europe on their own iniative. They
will pass through Switzerland, and in
so doing, will pass through the longest
tunnel in the world--fourteen miles
in length, piercing the Alps beneath
the road over which Hannibal carried
his army into the plains beyond.
The art galleries and the historic
places in Italy will be inspected as
we'll as the scenery of Switzerland.
The trip will then carry the party
down the Rhine through Germany and
Holland, and then across Belgium and
France to Paris, where several days
will be spent in looking over the
treasures of art and history Of the
historic though wicked city.
From Paris the party will go direct
to London where they will be joined
by DR.. Westeen and family who have
been spending several months in
Europe, and DR.. Gislason, who has
also been in Europe for some time,
and the party will then tour Norway.
Sweden and Denmark, stopping at all
the points Of interest, and going SO
far to the north that they will be able
to see the midnight sun. Returning
they will stop for ten days in Ireland,
spending the greater portion of the
time visiting and STUDYING the coun-
try. From Ireland they will cross to
Scotland, where two weeks will be
spent. Mr.. and Mrs. Dinnie will visit
an uncle of the former, living near
Edinburg. The home and scenes of
Burns experiences will be visited as
we'll as some of the famous castles
and scenes which have made Scotland
rich in historic. and romantic lore.
Two weeks will be spent In England,
and nearly all of this will be in tho
country. Mr.. Dinnie is planning to
travel in an automobile. One of the
places to be visited, is the home of
Gladstone, of whom Mr.. Dinnie was a
great admirer. In London he will visit
JOHN Burton. formerly Of this city.
The return voyage will be made from
Liverpool, and the party will reach
Quebec about September 10. The Din
MES will then visit the points of in
terest in Canada, including the
CrySler farm battlefield of the war of
