PREPARE FOR FIESTA
Work Starts This Week on Buildings
for Elks' Big Carnival.

A crew of men started work this
week arranging the Lobby for the
Elks' Fiesta which opens February
23. Guided by the experiences Of
two years ago, the arrangements
will be such as to give greater space
to certain of the attractions and to
relocate them at more convenient
points.
All of the buildings that caused
such favorable comment at the last
Fiesta will be improved on in design
and the street scene given q more
natural and at the same time more
elaborate appearance SO that patrons
may be assured that they will see
nothing just like it was before. The
further assurance is given by the
committee that the making of money
will be q secondary consideration,
the prime object being to give an en-
tertainment the like of which was
never before offered to the people
of Olympia.
C. e. Allen, who will manage the
side show, left this week for San
Francisco in the interest Of the Fl.
esta and will wire the Fiesta com.
mittee the result of his inspection OF
some strange freaks Just being
brought into this country on tramp
sailing vessel which has been In far
southern waters for q number OF
years. He proposes to have the hrst
choice Of anything worth while and
the distinction of having it first ap-
pear in Olympia.
The Fiesta buttons are meeting
with a ready sale. the popularity OF
the Dodge Brothers car that is to be
given away in connection with the
sale of the buttons. continuing to
grow the more the car is inspected.

PIONEERS TO MEET SOON
Annual Reunion and Dinner Of Local
Society to Take Place March 2.

The annual reunion and dinner ,of
the Thurston County Pioneer and
Historical society, to take place at
noon on Tuesday, March 2. at the
Woman's club rooms at Washington
and Eleventh streets, will be the
next, or one of the next. events OF
local interest in Olympia.
HJudge Charles D. King is to deliver
the annual address. his subject being
"The Trail Blazers" One OF the
numbers on the program will be an
original poem to be read by Mrs. w.
Scott Shaser. entitled "The Good
Old Pioneer Days" Inasmuch as
Mrs. shaser was In an immigrant
train that crossed the plains from
the Middle West and experienced the
vicissitudes Of frontier life with all
its discomforts and actual trials, her
poem will naturally breathe the
genuine pioneer spirit.
The success of the Womans' CLUB
heretofore in handling similar anairs
is ample guarantee that this reunion
will be no exception to the uniform
acceptability of the event. A number
OF interesting features of the oc-
casion are being planned, but most
important Of all will be the jolly,
whole-souled spirit that always
makes these gatherings SO success
full. The report of Secretary Allen
Weir will contain review OF the
happenings Of the year past OF spe-
cial interest to pioneers. including
the long list Of pioneer dead that
have passed away during 1914. and
plans recommended for the future
of the society.
"The dinner will be popular al
fair" says Secretary Weir, the
price having been fixed at 90 cents
per plate, and the public will be IN
vited to participate. Klonas hyu

The old timers are expected to at

opportunities for attending such
gatherings are diminishing with eacn
succeeding year. II you miss 1t TINS

LONDON, Jan. 23.-People do not
go to church to knit, but to take part
in the service" said the secretary OF

work for the men in khaki might not
be relaxed, it was proposed that the
women be allowed to knit during ser
mon time,
