Kem's Best Day at Rochester.
Grand Forks shriners, like the
Arabs, are silently returning one by
one from the scene Of their eastern
hilarity and as they are becoming
rested and awakened from the dreams
Of the good time Rochester gave them,
they are taking time to tell the home
folks Of some Of the glorious things
they missed by not being in Roches-
ter. Their description is quite enough
to convince those who had to miss the
pleasure that they had "some kind Of
a time" but the pictures they have
brought home tell still more interest
ing tales.
But all are agreed that there was
one best day for KEN and that was
afforded by Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Buhr,
prominent and wealthy residents Of
Rochester who had particular inter-
est In the Grand Forks shrine. Mr..
Buhr Is member of the Rochester
temple and he and his estimable wife
had looked forward to the Imperial
gathering with unusual interest for
the reason that they had planned to
entertain Mrs. Buhr's uncle, N. b.
Black Of this city and his wife who
had given them much interesting
news about the Grand Forks shrine.
At the last minute, however, business
cares prevented Mr.. Black from join
ing the caravan and their host and
hostess we're quite as disappointed as
they. But Mr.. Buhr, so all the Grand
Forks shriners say, is a prince of a
good fellow and his delightful wife is
a perfect entertainer so they were de-
termined not to let their one disap-
pointment spoil all their plans for
meeting the western folk. So just as
soon as one KEN could be found in
the thousands Of visiting shriners Mr..
Buhr made himself known and from
that moment on no shrine was as
royalty and lavishly entertained as
KEN temple.
In speaking Of the elegance Of the
treatment received from Mr.. and Mrs.
Buhr John D. Woods who was one Of
the party said: There were not only
steamers, gasolene launches and troll
ley cars at our disposal but there was
champagne Of the very best served
at all hours and the dinner could not
be surpassed" Mr.. Woods then told
of the day at Ontario Beach where
Mr.. Buhr owns a magnificent hotel
and where the party was entertained
from early morning until time to re-
turn to the city and attend the I'M
perial ball.
At IL o'clock on the morning fol-
lowing the meeting when Mr.. Buhr
entertained at his German garden In
the city the Grand Forks party and
a few from Osman temple, st. Paul.
gathered at Mr.. and Mrs. Buhr's city
home and went by trolley to Ontario
Beach, a fashionable summer resort
and amusement park. The first pleas
ure was taking in the amusements
and this was followed by an elegant
six course dinner served at the hotel.
/ AS soon as this pleasure was over q
large pleasure excursion steamer was
in waiting and the early part of the
afternoon was given over to a six
mile trip up the lake and back. Gaso-
lene launches then took them to New
port, another resort, where they re-
NAMED long enough to see all the
sights and take several pictures. An
other gasolene launch trip was taken
from here to Glen Haven where an
other stop was made and the same
jmerriment and indescribable pleasure
held sway. There was fun and frolic
all the time and Mr.. and Mrs. Buhr
did not allow one moment Of quiet Of
seeming rest. Their hospitality has
