Northwest Doings
In Elkdom

Wt<zN1z
Another week. Is here and it's
time for another column. The
most popular song of the week
is still "Back Back To Baltl-
more.."
The May festival and Dance at
Finnish Hall is one of the major
affairs planned to finance the Car
avian. Don't forget the date, May
End 1888, keep that date.
Now a public answer to several
questions that are In the minds
of more than one reader maybe
AS our California friends of ma
tive extraction would say, Who
Knows?
Many questions are asked about
the Caravan to Baltimore. An
swer number one: No, the Caravan
is not sponsored by Puget Sound
Lodge and Evergreen Temple. 1t
is sponsored by the Past Exalted
Rulers Council No. 20 and the
Eureka Past Daughter Rulers
Council. These groups are the
groups of Elks from which all
delegates to the Grand Lodge must
come from. They are self govern
ing bodies with their own Charter,
but the main requisite is that one
must be a member in good stand
ing in his subordinate Lodge in
order to be a member in the coun-
Gil. Council No. 20 takes in
Northwestern Washington, which
includes Seattle and Tacoma as
cities with an Elk Lodge.
Someone has asked if non men,
bers of the Order can go to Balti-
more by placing a car in the Car
avian. To date we have heard no
objections, and our personal opin-
ion is it would be a wonderful
trip for any one who could be so
fortunate as to be in Baltimore
during convention time. OF course
all cars will have to pass an ex-
animation to ascertain their abil-
ity of standing the trip before
leaving Seattle.
The Lodge is talking entertain
ment, Smokers - Jam Sessions =
Card Parties. The public was so
pleased with the Barn dance that
they are demanding another af-
fair. The Holding committee
which is virtually in charge of all
affairs of the Home should take
time out from it's laborious duties
and sponsor some form of enter
tainment. The public wants it.
The facilities are there. The Lodge
can use the money. SO our guess
is that in the near future some
thing will be forthcoming.
The sick are Brs. Hardin, 300
21st Avenue. Ed Payne, 525 29th
Ave. So. Felix Crane, Atlas Hotel.
Caravan Committees night at
the Federal Theatre, Atlantic and
Rainier Avenues, is Friday, March
25th The admission is only
rs cents, no reserved seats and
| tickets are on sale and count as
votes for the Queen of the Cara
van Contest F.. Buy a ticket and
vote for your favorite. Aside from
helping to finance the Caravan
to Baltimore, the support helps the
cast of the Negro Repretory Com
pany to be more secure in their
jobs. The play Flight" is pro-
duced with a mixed cast and with
this thought in mind, that the
lifting of the barriers to the Negro
actor will be helped by support of
the community. Once more we
urge you to buy a ticket for a
worthy cause, then come out and
support our own boys and girls.
The Herd is still talking Ball
teams. Brother West, Exalted
ruler reports that Brother Claud
Norris, Seattle Police officer and
star athlete is enthused over the
prospects of the Lodge sponored
team and has pledged his support
Claud is the manager of the Police
Basketball team that won the city
championship.
Mrs. Louise Boyer, wife of Bro
Their Gus Boyer, Puget Sounds
Poet Laurel, is slowly recovering
from four fractured ribs suffered
in a fall at her home on Main st.
