George D. Ayers and Enlogy by
Frank E. Sanger

The annual memorial service O

temple was one OF the most beautiful
services ever held by the local lodge
and the attendance was far beyond
those of the past few years. The fea-
ture of the service was the memorial
address delivered by Dean George D.
Ayers. His address was highly tom-
plimented by those who heard him.
The beautiful and impressive ritual
service of the Elks order exempliiied
by Exalted Ruler w. E. Wallace and
the officers of the lodge, indicated
the worthy objects of the order. Ow-
ing to illness Miss Conner was un-
able to participate in the program.
The music by the Elks orchestra and
the quartet vocal selection by Mrs.
H. T. Lewis, Mrs. Joseph Aspray, Will
Bonneville and H. T. Lewis were most
fitting and appropriate to the occas-
ion
The eulogy delivered by Frank E.
Sanger of Pullman, a member of the
lodge, was most beautiful and
inspiring. Miss Cox's vocal number
was splendid.

tion to many left over. Continuation
of this session well into next sum-
mer is predicted by veteran legislat-
ors.

crowds in both senate and house gal
leries, representing the eyes of a
hundred million Americans. Today's
actual business was confined to the
routine of swearing in new members,
of both houses and no
tification of the president Of the new
legislative epoch.

IL at both ends of the capitol, offic-
lals and spectators were sobered by
