Governor Pinkham is Guest Of Elks
~ ~ =
800 Attend Brilliant Lodge Function

d . u
The Eksl slreception tendefed to
Governor Pinkham at the Elks home
on King street last night was a great
success. The decorations, consisting of
the national eolors, red, white and
blue, together with the Elks' purple
and white, we're arranged by Brother
Stanley Stephenson and were most
elaborate and beautiful. The floral ef-
feets were planned by the cunning Of
a master hand in horticulture, Brother
Donald Mcintyre, of Moanalna. In the
hallway was a huge picture Of "Uncle
Pink" as the Governor is known in
Elkdom, framed in purple and white.
The portrait was presented to the lodge
by Mr.. Stephenson and will probably
remain IN its place Of honor. In each
corner of the hall were the antlers, the
emblem Of the order, and majestic aud
silent stood e Brother Bill, the gigan-
tic Elk, almost completely surrounded
by a Jungle Of tropical foliage. The
women's dressing rooms were festooD,
