thought that 125 candidates would be
a big showing for the two months

with but slight help from one or two
Others but with the cooperation or
every lodge in the city, when the
eventful evening arrived, instead OF a
class of 1875 there were 225 who present
ed themselves at the altar to take the
obligation of membership. The work
was conducted entirely by supreme of
fcers aided by the escort teams OF
various lodges, with Golden Eagle es-
cort team seating the officers. Those
in position to know declare 1t the
most satisfactory work ever done in
this city, and claim it was an index OF
the growth and popularity of this So

more representative class of candidates

gratified.

VOORHEES, have been appointed surgeons

Yosemite The interest and health of
every member attending will be in
their hands, and will be most thor
oughly looked after.
The little Yosemite campaign coupons
are about the most desirable paper in
circulation among T. F. B. people these
days. Eight of them are good for a
trip to the Yosemite valley, and those
who were not fortunate enough to
secure the required number through
obtaining members, are purchasing
them from the more fortunate ones
who have a surplus. The fact that
they have been negotiable has encour-
aged effort among all.
