PURPLE RE|GNS At
OGDEN CELEBRATION

Special to The Tribune.
OGDEN, July 4-By combining an In
dependence day demonstration with their
annual observance Of Purple day, the
EIks of this city furnished Fourth of
July celebration for the general public
which will be regarded as one Of the
most successful ever given in Ogden. So
far as Ogden city and the conyon We're
concerned, the Elks reigned supreme
indicative OF the Bills who put
"thuse' in enthusiasm.
With the principal celebration staged
in Ogden canyon, the people Of the city
sought the entertainment provided by the
fraternal organization rather than out
of-town celebrations, The crowd that
canyon was probably the largest which
has ever gathered in the mountain re-
sort: Even the officers of the Ogden
Rapid Transit company could not esti-
mate tonight the thousands who had
made the journey on the electric cars
while hundreds of others made the trip
in automobiles.
The reception 10 the visiting Elks and
at II o'clock were the only features OF
the celebration not held in the canyon
Several hundred members of the Ogden
lodge, the Federation band and zoo
school children carrying American flags
which was at tho Bamberger depot TO
welcome The eighty Elks from Salt Lake
and other cities when they arrived al II
companied by the Fort Douglas military
band. Before the line moved tows rd
Washington avenue, the wild Indians
from the reservation" according TO the
placards worn by members OF No s..
presented a very realistic war dance
After traversing the business district
there was an informal reception to the
visiting Elks at the Grant avenue CLUB
house.
