Rose City Lodge No. Ill, I. B. P. O. E. of W„ will hold its election for officers for the semi annual and annual terms. The offices which It is thought will be most hot ly contested for, are those of Exalt ed Ruler. Secretary and Treasurer. This election differs much from that of six months ago. At that time. It was a foregone conclusion just who the Exalted Ruler would be, the Sec retary and Treasurer being hold over offices. So tar as we can learn, no aspirant for the office has as yet developed a following large enough to assure his election to the office of E. R. It Is hoped the majority of the two hundred and more members have decided to do the wise and best thing by letting the offices seek the men. Thu local order has a big pro gram mapped out. If It hasn't. It ought to have. That Is, to get a hall and club rooms of Its own and then It will be In keeping In tact and in truth with the pace that Is set by the Order of Elks in all parts of the country. NOTICE Dr. J.
