There is still_the cry that the business men of Washington do not yet seem to efore the Shrine eye. to Washington itself of the big con- vention. finances, but one which calls for the best endeavors to put Washington this country, for Washington, distance from here, it ig said, is less known than most people imagine.

Lawrence Walker and Imperial Representative Capt. C. E. Flather of hendsome traveling case: the gift of the Washington deleg: tion that visited San Francisco last June, as & mark of gratitude and ap- preciation for most. valuable serv ces rendered. It was almost a token of sympathy, too, for no men ever worked more unceasingly for the comfort and welfare of a large party almost wholly dependent upon them jnot jonly for ‘the mecessaries of the trip but for many other things that served to make it enjoyable. It was a common thing for his fellow nobles - to literally force Larry Walker to take the sleep he needed to keep going, while Cap Flathers singing voice was almost permanent- 1y impaired by the scores of offictal announcements that had to be made to inform the big party of excursion- ists what to do and where to go on a trip punctuated with many diver- sions and side courtesies. Illustrious Potentate W. Bayne Gibson, of Yaarab Temple, of At- {lanta, Ga., was the guest of Potentate Steuart of Almas, during the week and accompanied him and the party that left Friday for Atlan- tic City to attend the Crescent cere- ‘monial.
