that all present at the great gathering
Of the Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine at
Ell zagaI temple Thursday viii re-
member. There were over 400 Shriners
in attendance and it was one of the
greatest gatherings OF it's kind ever
held in the history OF order in this
state.
In the n~eighborhood of forty candi-
dates went through the mysterious or
deals of the evening and came out full
fiedged Arabs of the desert after
tramping over the vast sands of the
Sahara, across the land of the pyra-
rnids and learned the secret of the
sphynx. But they all felt, no matter
how much exhaustion was suffered,
that the trip was really worth the
trouble after it was all over, for the
after delights of the evening and ths
welcoming into the greatest mirthnnak-
ing brotherhood In the world indeed
repaid for much Of their anxieties and
other discomforts which We're expert
enced during the earlier part of the
evening.
Potentate e. z. Sarles of Hillsboro,
former governor of North Dakota, pre-
sided v the meeting with great dig
nifty and dispensed the features and
pleasures of the evening with much
consideration and at the same time inn
partially to ALL The degree team OF
Ell Zagal temple has been most highly
complimented on the able I'M IN
which the honors of the evening were
dispensed. 1t is said the team never
appeared to greater advantage than 1t
did last night and the Arab patrol gave
a splendid exhibition OF its art in drill
ing.
Following the ceremonial and the
ritualistic programme of the evening,
there was a most enjoyable social hour,
during which an elaborate supper was
served, followed by a vaudeville show.
The ceremonial Thursday night was
one of the most successful that has
ever been held at Ell Zagal temple and
every one attending and in connection
with the arrangements have expressed
great satisfaction at the n In
which everything went off.
