Visitors From Far and Near Arrive Help Initiate
First Glass in the Mysteries of Elkdom-
City Gaily Decorated to Honor
the Many Visitors

The purple and white is very much
in evidence today all over the city
These are the emblematic colors o.
Elkdom and the occasion of the deco
ration is from the fact that tonight
the first class of local Elks will be
initiated. Some 40 Elks from Spo
kane will arrive this afternoon. A
carload will be here from Everett
and Seattle to do honor to the frs!
class. At short intervals during the
spring other classes will be initiated
Those scheduled for the buffeting o!
the goat tonight are:

The list above Is the names of
those who are candidates for Elkiom.
What they are at present is very hard
to tell, but If they live through the
night they will be Elks by dawn.
To convert them from what they
are, into what they are going to be
requires the help of all the Elks that
can possibly be assembled. 1t is no
easy task and the work will last
throughout the night and be at its
height at that mystic hour when
churchyards yawn and graves give UP
their dead" Then will the candi-
dates receive the full degrees. The
exalted goat will put them through
$50 degrees at least and possibly
some more.
