The new home of Tintic lodge is one

on 1t was commenced about year ago,
and after number Of delays the build
ing was finished and duly accepted by
the building committee about three
months ago 1t is constructed of white
pressed brick and surmounted with
handsome elkS head design
1t Is over three years since the Salt
Lake Elks last undertook a trip Of this
nature. The last time they visited an
other city in Utah was for the purpose
of taking part in the Elks' carnival at
Provo. The time-honored custom Of hav-
ing a live elk head all of their parades
will not be carried out on this trip, as
it was abandoned some time ago, when
their pet animal was killed. 1t is the
intention of the local lodge to revive this
custom, and accordingly several animals
will be purchased and entrusted to the
care of the park commission.

special train are being assigned by J. II.

sic on the trip. as Montgomery's band
of 20 pieces has been engaged by the
committee to accompany the party. The
big Noise" will also be on hand, which
means that there will be something do
ing every moment Of the journey.
