FridayC1ght send.kaa presided over
by Hanr Asa 81. witeher. The object
of theGeespS was tq arrange for
special excssPion to Ogden, leaving
hers-sa- February 16, 80 as to arrive
in the big Utah city in time for the
initiation ceremonies of the B. p. O.
E., which will take place on the
night of the 17th. and when about
fifty baby Elks from McGill, which
is under the Jurisdiction of the Ogden
lodge. will be held to slaughter.
According to present arrangements
the business men of the district will
cooperate with the Elks' lodge and
1t is estimated that upwards of 125l
people will enjoy the excursion. The
Weber club of Ogden has extended an
invitation to the business NEE to join
with them on this occasion, and elab-
crate preparations have been made
for the entertainment of those who
may be able to accept.
A committee of Ogden business
men. cinsisting of Albert Scowcroft
Gus Wright, p F Kirkendall, w &
Wilson, w II Williams and T F Row
lands, arrived in Ely on FRIDAY
Fulton, assistant general passengei
agent for the Southern Pacific, witt
headquarters at Reno. The object
of Mr.. Fultons visit was to join Mr.
/ Rowlands, vino is superintendent o.
the Southern Pacific in Ogden 81
thai matters of detail as to the trans
porta, on might be cscussed.
The meeting was also attended BY
Colonel l. u Cannon. general man
ager of the Nevada Northern railway
70 that railroad officials covering t.e
entire route were on hand to thor
oughl, discnss Al matters witt fhe
Committees apDe .nted by the e.. $
and the busin. 50 men.
/ There WAS considerable discussion
as to whether the boys should be car.
rled in luxurious chair cara or by
Pullman. which is a still more ex
i iers sive method of :rav slino. but the
officials we're assured that the mere
matter of dollars was not to inter
fere, and there was nothing too good
for the Aggregation OF good fellows
who would make the "trip. The
special Pullman cars were hen de
cided upon.
Time for departure came up for
consideration next, and 1t seemed t.
be the general sentiment that i
would be better to leave about Il
O'Clock on the night of the 18th
which will land the party in Ogder
about o'clock on the morning o
the 17th. This will afford the boys
an opportunity to set their watches
and avoid the loss OF any time, az
well as look after the inner man II
the manner for which the Elks ar,
noted.
The exact terms upon which ths
transportation can be furnished couA
not definitely stated, but this was
left entirely with Colonel Cannon
who stated that he would make the
best possible arrangements for accom-
modations and rates that the laws by
which the railroad companies ar
governed will permit.
Upon arriving In Ogden, the com
mittee from that city stated, ar
rangements have been made to meet
the special train with enough auto
obiles to carry all the excursionsti
about the city and show them tn
points of interest. Perhaps all thai
happens on the trip win never b.
told. but there is sufficient in sigh
to make II so attractive that no maj
who can possibly avail himself of tn
opportunity, will miss the trip.
Yesterday the visitors from Ogdei
we're taken in automobiles and show.
about the mines and smelter, AM
with Mayor Witcher heading the 10
cal committee, they were entertaine,
as such guests should be.
The trip is now well under way an
minor detail arrangements will b
duly announced later.
