Elli son Camp, No. 1, of Portland put on the Royal Purple degree at the skating rink, seven mem bers of Newport taking the de gree. Twelve hundred persons witnessed the conferring of this degree. The floor work was fine, almost faultless. The Mc Minnvllle degree team also con ferred the . Rebekah degree at the skating rink. This was also witnessed by a full house and the floor work was well done. The city of Newport was in gala col ors and the air seemed to be per meated with the spirit of Odd fellowship, notwithstanding the disagreeable weather, everyone seemed to be cheerful and happy) If there was a grouchy person he did not show up. The clam bake was given on bay beach. The meuu consisted of potatoes, clams, crabs and halibut baked In the old Indian way, with sea weeds and hot rocks. The Sup ervision of the baking was under the direction of Jesse Frey, who is an expert with this kind of work. When the clams, crabs and fish are properly cooked they will not offend the most delicate stomach. About 2000 persons partook of the feast. The menu was served by a doz en waiters in cafeteria style. Two narrow ways were fixed for people to pass through while be ing served. These narrow spaces were kept so crowded that it was hard to get through. Some small fellows nearly got the wind squeezed out of them. It seemed rediculous, but every one enjoyed the fun. The Rod and Gun Club gave two dances In honor of the Odd fellows. Both dances were well attended and all had a good time. The music was especially pre pared for the occasion. The next Grand Lodge will be held at Roseburg. A resolution was of fered by J. K. Weathereford and passed by the Grand Lodge thanking the citizens of New port, the railroad companies, the Newport, gasoline launch, Capt.
