ELks INITIATE LARGE CLASS.

The Durango lodge of the b. p. o.
Elks held initiation ceremonies last
night Some forty-five applicants were
ready for the all-importaut ceremony,
but according to the bylaws OF the
order, but twenty candidate may be
received at one time.
Twenty persons were put through
and judging from the remains. the
Elk who superintends all such pro-
ceedings, must have butted good and
hard. We believe the Elks do not
have a goat, If we are mistaken we
beg to be corrected. The said Elk
was feeling in excellent trim last
night, just before lodge opened, and
doubtless felt like cutting up with
the candidates.
District Deputy Grand EXALTED Ruler
Thomas A. Rucker of Aspen was there
to see that the candidates got what
was coming to them. As limited above
we believe they did. There were IA
number of visitors from the Denver
and Canon City lodges. and stray
Elks from Silverton, the Montezuma
valley and Chama, and The rest of
the United States. Twenty other can
didates will ride the Elk who is gen
tie, but peculiar, next Wednesday
applications of candidates who are
ready 10 be initiated when the oppor-
tunity presents itself. From indica-
lions we are safe in predicting that
there will be membership of 500 by
July /.
Things moved pretty lively last night
and win Hart, the genial secretary,
was kept jumping sideways in order
to keep in the procession. and let
nothing escape his eagle eye. Elks
swarmed-or to be more exact-trot-
out any locking of horns or any other
unpleasant proceedings such as the
antlered tribe sometimes indulge in.
