FEDERATION WILL
NOT COME TO YAKIMA
Tacoma Invitation ls Accepted by
Small Majority of Three
Votes

Delegates from the North Yakima
clubs to the State Federation of Wo-
mems clubs meeting at Olympia re-
turned yesterday afternoon, report
ing a fine meeting and splendid en-
tertainment. They brought back the
news, however, that the federation
did not accept the invitation of North
Yakima for the next convention. This
was something of a surprise since
the invitation was given under the
impression that the federation desired
that it should be given. The choice,
however, went to Tacoma by three
votes.
The North Yakima delegates made
no effort to induce the delegates to
vote favorably on the North Yakima
proposition, but they seem to feel
that the decision regarding to tnext
meeting place should come in as part
of the regular business of the session,
and not be left until the last moment
as was the case at Olympia People
were hurrying to catch trains, and
only Go were left in the room when
the vote was taken. The Tacoma del
egation, which was strong one,
waited till the end and came in on
the voting with a result favorable to
their city.
Governor as Waiter
Though the weather was mainly
favorable and the meetings, interest
| ing though they were, something very
much in the nature of hard work,
the hospitality of the Olympia women
was of the finest. The governor
ball was a most enjoyable affair, and
| though the clam bake had to be
abandoned on account of the wealth
err, the evening spent in the Woman
clubhouse was very pleasant. the
governor, the supreme court judges
and other high and mighty people
acted as walters during the serving
of refreshments and quite shone in
the capacity.
