ELKS'lANCEWAS
A BIG SUCCESS
Over 100 Couples Gather
For the Happy
Occasion
From the Grand March, which be
gan at nine o'clock, until the remain
Ing couples glided In rbythmio motion
to the popular strains of "Alexander's
Ragtime Band,"at 4 :30 in the morning,
the Elks dance was one continual
round of pleasure. The music was de
ligthful, tbe floor perfect, the crowd
one of the most affable congregations
ever assembled in Lakeview. With
these constituents the auocess of the
dance was assured and everyone enioyed
themselves to the fullest extent.
Over one hundred couples were in at
tendance and the spacious maple floor
in the new opera house was crowded.
In addition to the sale of the tickets
the treasury was swelled about $100
from fines imposed upon Elk members
by Master of Cermonies H. L. Benson,
which brought the total receipts of tbe
dance to about $300. The ball was
tastefully decorated and the large dial
of the clock which was made to chime
at tbe sacred bour of eleven o'clock
afforded an impressive spectacle. At
this hour Hon. Benson delivered a short
address and W. Lair Thompson gave
a toast In honor to absent brothers of
the order.
. . . . t i
there was an ample amount ot puna
provided to refill tbe bowl when it be
came necessary. Tbe popular mixoll
gittt "Whitey" of the Inn saloon, who
prepared tbe punch, added laurels to
his already glimmering reputation aa a
past master in this art that will never
be forgotten.
Tbe music for the occasion was tar
nished by Chaa. E. Rice, Jecae Dar
nell, Chaa. Wallace, Cbaa. Volk. John
Drury, of the Margaret lies Company,
and Mrs. C. E. Rice, and this combina
tion ot musicians providede the beat
music that waa ever danced by in tbla
city.
The marked air of harmony and un
ionism which prevailed throughout tbe
dance was keenly apparent and showed
that all bad turned out for a purely
social time and tbey bad it.

Wear Sprig of Evergreen
President Taft, on a suggestion of
J. W. Hamilton, of St Paul, haa joined
in a movement to make general through
out tbe country the wearing of a sprig
of evergreen or a knot of the national
colors Memorial day, May 80.
In the President's indorsement, he
says in part: "I earnestly hope the
suggestion will become a custom. It
ia but a small recognition of a great
sacrifice." This indorsement ot tbe
President is expected to aid in popu
larizing a movement that haa already
gained headway in the Northwestern
states.
This is a plan that should be heeded
by every citizen of our land, aa the
time is eadly drawing near when the
brave men who so gallantly served the
cause of their country will be but a
memory, and we should take aome op
portunity to manifest recognition of
their remembranoe as well as their
deeds.
Destroying FlSh
Hundreds of trout on their way to
spawning grounds at the headquarters I
of Silver Creek have been battered to '
death at a dsm just north of this town. ,
Aa many more, leaping from tbe water
in a vain effort to clear the dam and
make their way up stream, have land
ed on the bank, here they were pick
ed up by anglers or eaten by birds.
There ia no fish ladder at the dam
and the water at trie outlet ia so swift
it is impossible for trout to overcome
the current. The pool lust below the
dam laterally swaima with thousands
of trout ranging from six to eighteen
inches. These battle with tht swift
current until exhausted, then try to
jump. Invariably they are swept back
and beaten against the rocks urtil they
