Bisbee daily review., 1911-12-10

In local lodge circles election Of officers has been and is the interest ing feature. Several lodges have al- ready held their elections and others win do so soon for the year end is in most instances the election period. Thus lodge elections have vled in interest with the first state election of Arizona In some Of the lodges there have been friendly contests in others there have been no contests, in none has any bitterness been aroused. Fol. lowing these elections there will soon be held Installation ceremonies and each order has it's own custom in re- gard to these. In many instances it will mean social functions in all 1t means an added interest to members in the work of the new year. From most OF the orders in the city there are coming reports of increases fin membership, of elections of members and limitations. From this it can be judged that all of the lodges in Bis bee are enjoying a season of pros perity. This is as it should be for in no city in the southwest have the lodges figured so importantly in the past as they have in Bisbee.

 In Elkdom, now that Memorial day has passed, preparations are under way for Christmas Before dismiss ing Memorial day with it's services it should be stated that those of last Sunday were the most beautiful and the best conducted in the history of 6I1. The stage decorations won admir- ation from all, the lighting effects and novelties introduced were novel, striking. pleasing. the singing was beautiful, the music by the band lent to the perfection of it all. The ora tions were truly splendid efforts and the attendance was so large that every seat was taken, many stood and still others regretfully turned away. Plans for Christmas have not been announced in full but it is learned that there will be services and that Santa Claus will wear an. tiers this year for the Elks will give a Christmas tree for the poor child. ren of the city and will dispense oth- CT charity in true Elk fashion. At the regular meeting which was held or Tuesday night there were elected five new members and a special meeting for the purpose of initiation will be held next Saturday night when horns will be bestowed upon these new lawns.
