WELDED THE
ANTLERS ON
Lewiston Elks Do Satisfactory
Job of Initiation for the
Grangevillians.

from the reports OF the Lewiston
papers, as well as the confessions of
our returned citizens, the Lewiston
Elks spared no pains in giving the
candidates from here scientific, and
abundantly satisfactory run for their
money last Thursday.
The first thing the Grangeville can
didates discovered on landing in Lew
iston, was that they had, through the
treachery of Conductor Morris, and
home traitors, been locked water
tight in their private car. When re-
leased the candidates were marched
out through double column of hard
featured Elks across the depot plat
form into heavy wire cage arranged
on hay wagon, and were driven
down through the main street of the
town under the escort of delegation
of wild west COW boys and bull Elks
to the number of over one hundred,
headed by the brass band and followed
by the cheering riff-raf
On reaching the hall the prisoners
were left confined in their cage while
their inhospitable entertainers INDUCED
in an elaborate feast in their banquet
hall; later feeding them sandwiches
and accompanying beverages through
their prison bars. After this feat, a
procession was formed in which Frank
McGrane and Fred Carsten, envel-
oped in buffalo overcoats and deco
rated with immense helmets on which
were loud placards, played the role of
Peary and Cook, the polar heroes.
carrying and imitation north pole be-
tween them, while Billy Ingram was
logged out in appropriate costume and
carried banner bearing the legend:
Chief of Police of GrangevilIe;
/ Am 1t.
This parade marched from the hall
down through the main street and
across the river to the Charleston fair
ground. and afforded great deal of
amusement.
A special program had been ar
ranged for the occasion which in
cluded race in which the two polor
heroes took prominent part. We
quote the language of the Daily Tel
Ter:
Due to the splendid driving of Frank
McGrane, the honors of the mule
race, trot, pace or walk, went to the
Lewiston lodge entry, Bill. The
Moscow lodge entry was the famous
Maud and she was driven by Fred
Carsten. Hiram and bis pig also ran.
McGrane and Carsten were candi-
dates for initiation in the Elks lodge,
and the formers helmet proclaimed
him to be Peary, while Carsten in a
similar manner resembled Cook.
The Elks initiated were: Frank
McGrane, Fred Karsten, VIM. In
gram, j. A. Freeborn, Ed. Knorr and
L. M. Harris, of Grangeville; R. P.
Nash, of Whitebird; Q. f. Gwynne,
of Reubens, and Fred Sheehey, Gus
Larson and Bruce Burns, of Lewiston.

State institutions Are ClamotinJ
for More Money.
Lincoln, March 29.-Probably the
hardest scramble which will occur in
the legislature this week will be over
the senate bill placing public service
corporations in the hands of the rail.
way commission. Those opposed to
the measure have made the open
declaration that it is fathered by the
very corporations it affects, who wish
to get away from local control, and
also to prevent new concerns of q
similar character securing a foothold
in the cities where they are located.
Several mayors of the larger cities
have taken the matter up and declare
they will fight the measure to the last
ditch.
Just what action will be had on the
bill is in doubt. The present week is
expected to see the end of the legis-
| lative session and those most strong
ly opposing the bill express the feal
| that an attempt will be made to rush
1t through during the closing sessions
of the two houses. Extraordinary
| pressure is being brought on Governor
Shallenberger to veto the bin in the
event of it coming to his desk, but the
chief executive has not indicated what
he will do in the matter.
