Here is what the San Diego Elks
think of US. as related by the San
Diego Union:
Enthusiastic over the royal recep-
tion accorded them by the Imperial
Valley Elks, the San Diego delegation
of Elks returned home at 1880 O'Clock
yesterday morning, and spent large
part of the day telling those who were
unfortunate enough not to have been
able to make the trip just how much
they missed There was a class of
135 initiated into the order at Ell Cen
tro, 1872 being from the Imperial Val
ley, one from San Diego, one from
Sacramento and one from Los An
geels
One of the principal features of
the initiation ceremonies was the
work of the Elks' Chanters put on
in musical form, which was declared
by many prominent Elks to be the
most impressive work they had
ever heard. Their singing made
big hit with the Valley Elks. Egg
bert Banks received many congrat-
ulations for his orations.
RECEIVED BY 500
When the San Diego & Arizona
special arrived at Ell Centre at 7:30
| Saturday evening, the local men
were received by 800 Elks and citi-
zens of the Imperial Valley, who
were lined up in crescent shape in
front of the station with the Fl
Centro lodge band in the center. As
the train stopped. the band played
Hail, Hail, the Gangs All Here, -
and the fun began.
! During the lodge meeting. which
was held at the high school audi
torium, the exalted ruler of Ell
Centre asked the visiting Elks to
rise and tell wheer they were from.
The answers included practically all
of the states of the Union, besides
Honolulu, Manila and Alaska.
BARBECUE AND BOXING
A reception was held at the lodge
following the initiation, and at II
o'clock the next day the visitors
were taken to Will Fawcett's ranch.
where barbecue was enjoyed and
boxing exhibitions were put on by
Harry Woodbury., formerly of San
Diego, who was initiated into the
Ell Centre lodge Saturday evening.
In two Of the bouts, the San Diego
lodge boxers won. Kid Julian and
Battling Sweeney defeating their
opponents. Moving pictures were
taken of the frolics at the ranch By
motion picture concern, and Jean
Stromberg, local photographer, took
the panoramic scene.
