The stop Of one hour and half at
Shasta Springs was one of the most
delightful events of the Seattle trip.
The scenery was heartily enjoyed by
all, and the cooling draughts from the
famous springs refreshed the weary
travellers.
The Seattle special party fell so
much in love with Portland that for
time it seemed as though the trip to
Seattle were in danger of being aban-
doned. However, when the appointed
time arrived for departure and noses
were counted it was discovered that all
had curiosity enough concerning the
exposition to cut short their pleasure
trips. display drills, etc, and board
the train at the last minute.
The ten boxes of fruit contributed
by the two lodges of Fresno proved
great treat to the travellers as they
wended their way through the San
Joaquin and Sacramento valleys. It
was but one of the many acts of kind
ness that were showered on the party
and for which it acknowledges lasting
gratitude.
At $3.50 Thursday morning. July o.
the special arrived i'm Seattle, and the
majority of the party remained on the
train right to the exposition grounds
as the uniformed bodies went into
camp at once. The day was passed in

it successfully met all corners and car
ried off first prize. Everybody is
happy and congratulations are pour

ly drilled team, twenty-four in number,
uniformed in white and gold, as they
went through maze after maze or IN
tricate evolutions, completely swept the
onlookers from their moorings.
The last meeting night of July, the
26th, was the open meeting for Hermosa
lodge, No. 80, and, despite the fact that
the smiling countenances and helpful
assistance of the escort team were
lacking the evening was pleasantly
passed and the attendance up to the
usual standard.
The lodges throughout Northern
California, beginning with those
which could jointly be represented at
Oakland and continuing on to Sacra-
mento. Red Bluff, Redding and Duns-
muir, all made it point to be at the
station and shower courtesies upon the
Seattle party. At many of the points
additions were made to the party and
the bond of fraternalism welded be-
tween members who for distance rea-
sons had heretofore been strangers.
The register showed quite a number
aboard from the San Luis Obispo coun7
try.
The evening of July "a ushered in
new set of officers for Gardena lodge,
No. Sc. Supreme President James A.

the guests of honor and the visiting
members from Moneta, passed very
deIightful evening.
