LEAVES FOR SOUTH
The thirtieth annual session Of the
grand lodge knights of Pythias of the
grand domain of Idaho came to a close
here this afternoon. One of the fina
acts of the delegates in convention
was to select Buhl, Idaho, located in
the famous Twin Falls district, as the
next meeting place of the grand
lodge.
Delegates from Buhl were said TIC
have made a strong inducement to the
grand lodge meeting there in 1928
and expressed themselves as very well
pleased to think that they had been
successful in their efforts in obtain
ing the sessions next year. Other
cities which made strong bids for the
convention were Blackfoot and Pay
cite, both in the south part of the
state.
Afternoon Session is Last
Routine business occupied the at
stentiOn of the representatives during
the closing day of the convention, ana
all we're tired and happy when the
proceedings came to and end during &
the afternoon.
Two special Pullmans were prOvfd-

this afternoon for South Idaho, and
were hooked onto the 4:45 O. w. r.

the delegates will not leave until Sat

friends or to rest after the strenuous
four days sessions the grand
lodges.
Everybody Pleased With Moscow
Many were the complimentary re-
marks made by the visitors as they
departed this afternoon. All express
ed themselves as having enjoyed their
stay in Moscow tremendously, and
all hoped that the grand lodge would
again be disposed to make Moscow it's
convention city.

as grand chancellor expires with the
closing of the session, said:
Hope to Come Back
1--WE are all glad to be here, and
we certainly wish to thank the cit
liens of Moscow for the way in which
they have received us. The delegates
and visitors I know all appreciate the
courtesy shown to us, and we hope
that we may be able to revisit Mos
COW in the not distant future. 1t is
always pleasure for us to gather
together every year and discuss the
progress of the order, and this year
has been doub1y profitable
Mrs. Olive Wilson, retiring grand
chief of the Pythian Sisters, was also
very well pleased with the reception
given them by the city Of Moscow and
its merchants.
'Our sessions this year have been
both pleasing and profitable The life
of the order depends on our holding
these yearly conventions, and the spir-
1t with which Moscow has received
us has done much toward making this
years convention the success that 1T
has BEEN"
