ALLY ENTERTAINED BY THEIR
BRETHREN IN UTAH TOWNS.

With a record breaking attendance
TO give the noyitiates a rousing send
of. the Elks of Salt Lake initiated
into their lodge eighteen prominent
residents of Ely district Wednesday
night. The class represented the
balance of thirty-seven candidates.
who arrived in the Utah capital Tues
day with an excursion party.
The train was met at the depot
Tuesday night by delegation of Salt
Lake Elks, who escorted the visitors
To the club house. Nineteen of the
neophytes, accompanied by eighty
members of the order from Zion,
boarded a special train at the Bam-
berger depot. and went to Ogden
where the candidates were presented
with horns by the officers of the
ogden lodge. A feature of the initia-
tion was the presentation of gayel
to the Ogden lodge by their brethren
from Salt Lake. A short social
session followed. The remainder of
the "Sagebrush' herd were round
ed Wednesday evening by the Salt
Lake lodge.
The lodge had made extensive
preparations for the auspicious event
The rooms were handsomely decor
ated with palms. cut flowers and
potted plants. II was, indeed,
brilliant affair During the initia-
tion ceremony Rev Elmer o. Goshen,
who has been a member of the order
in Salt Lake for many years, intoned
Bryan's Thanatopis.
After the ritualistic work had been
duly carried out all present sat down
TO a banquet. This put everyone In
a good enough humor for the speech
es. songs and jokes that came next,
interspersed with music by a string
orchestra.
While their husbands were being
put through the PAGES. the wives Of
the visitors were entertained at a
dinner given in their honor by the
wives of the officers of the Salt Lake
lodge. at the semloh hotel and a
theater party at the Salt Lake
theater. This was followed by d
supper at the Hotel Utah which was
given by the lodge.
The excursion brought thirty
seven new members for initiation
and because OF a law prohibiting
more than twenty being made ac-
quainted with the mysteries of the
order from receiving the degrees IN
the secret organization on any one
night, il was necessary for the
ogden lodge to assist ON account of
the class being so large. All those
who became baby Elks in ogden Will
retain their membership in the Salt
Lake lodge. Fifty members of the
ogden lodge went to the Utah capital
Wednesday night, when the antlers
we're placed upon the balance of the
Ely herd
1t is believed that some of the Ely
delegation will take advantage of
the excursion to Los Angeles, and
will join the Elks on their trip
February 3 to various southern Cali
fornia points.

dance" was given Thursday night
at the club house in honor of the new
