lowship of Pretty Little Island
Regarding those ten “baby Elks”
roaming at large on Kodiak island
since the visit of Anchorage Lodge
No. 1351, B. P. O. E. delegation, no
finer specimens could be found any
where, in the opinion of Exalted Rul
er Carl Martin, who with H. H. Mc
Cutcheon, past exalted ruler and Lyle
Larsen, secretary, returned to Seward
yesterday from an initiatory trip
wliich they will forever recall with
happiness. Aside from the interest
ing work of guiding ten candidates
safely thru the channels of Elkdom,
the royal hospitality and entertain
ment extended them will never be
’ forgotten.
“Im certainly going to make ano
ther trip over there,” stated Brother
Larsen last evening, which just about
sums up the friendly feeling they
have toward Kodiak and its residents.
On Sunday night, November 7, when
1 the S. S. Admiral Watson arrived at
Kodiak from Seward, the Anchorage
Elks were cordially greeted and wel
comed by the Kodiak Elk delegation,
comprised of Brothers Otto Kraft, H.
J. Hunt and Judge Stowe. They
were then escorted to the Masonic
hall which had been beautifully de
corated under the skillful direction of
Brother H. O. White. There, where
the candidates were breathlessly
1 awaiting with eagerness, the coming
ordeal, and amid the elaborate sur
roundings, the lodge rituals officially
began with the following officers oc
cupying the chairs.
Carl E. Martin, exalted ruler; W. G.
Neville, lecturing knight; A. L. Roth,
loyal knight; Lyle W. Larsen, secre
tary and esquire; H. O. White, inner
guard; H. J. Hunt, tyler. The candi
dates were Vernon E. Hoffman, Chas.
E. Stark, Albert Kraft, Frederick
Mahle, Louis Thompson, Chas. A.
' Madson, Nels Christiansen, A. K. Hor
ner, Harry J. Grub and Fred A. Hen
ton. Visiting Brothers were Mr. Ne
ville from Ketchikan; A. W. Roth, Se
attle Lodge No. 92, and Mr. Crafton,
school teacher at Kodiak and also a
member of the Seattle lodge.
After the meeting all adjourned to
the Model cafe where a wonderful 12
course dinner was served. Regard
ing this dinner the Anchorage trio
I. smacked their lips with much gusto
in describing the menu. Never was
a better dinner in variety and taste
served to them anywhere, they said.
Past Exalted Ruler H. H. McCutcheon
during the course of the dinner, spoke
interestingly, choosing as his topic,
naturally, the B. P. O. Elks. Due to
numerous outbursts of brilliant ora
tory, given at various times later,
Brother McCutcheon was dubbed
“Uncle Joe Cannon of Alaska,” and
was thereafter introduced as such by
Brother Neville. Then followed the
history of the Order by Brother Lar
sen. This good-natured gentleman,
stuffed with the best in the land, was
in excellent spirits, it is related, and
delivered his bit with a marvelous
flow of English, rising to heights
which even his intimates never be
fore suspected. Then Brother Neville,
the live wire member from Ketchi
kan, rendered in a melodious tenor
voice, the very latest of New York
song hits. It might not be out of
place to mention at this point that
Brother Neville was formerly a mem
ber or the Stanford University, 1914
15 football team. And, according to
Brother Larsen, he looks it. Just
what he meant by that remark the j
reader must judge for himself.
Continuous Pleasure
Then the dance! Oh, Boy! What aj
wonderful time was enjoyed at the
dance Sunday night. The Kodiak peo- ]
pie had seen to every detail, not a 1
thing had been overlooked, so in the
face of their preparations, the affair I
was bound to be just what it was,j
the best and largest dance in attend-!
ance which had ever been held in
the beautiful and thriving island town.
During the dance, W. E. Pitts, stew
ard on the S. S. Admiral Watson, de
the Icebergs Nest Again.” Three en
lighted all with a tenor solo “When
cores were necessary before the crowd j
would permit Mr. Pitts to retire. The
I
Watson’s orchestra wrere thanked
i
particularly for their splendid music !
and efforts to please.
That night the three Elks from An- j
chorage were hospitably taken care ,
of at the residences of Dr. Pryor and j
Brother Grub.
Monday was a repitition of the day
previous, a continual round of plea
sure, winding up with another fine
dance in the evening. During the day
the Anchorage Elks enjoyed a splen
did repast with Brother Otto Kraft
and his charming wife.
Praise for Doe Fawns
Ah, the girls! “Be sure and say
something about tho$|. girls at Ko
diak,” one of the “Bills” said. “The
I
girls over there are not only pretty
but really beautiful and the many in
stances of their sincere efforts at hos
pitality and entertainment was one of
the outstanding recollections we took
away with us. They are wonders!”
As the Admiral vessel slow’ly pulled
away from the Kodiak wharf on Mon
day, with the gentle tinkling ship’s
orchestra playing, the departing Elks
sang numerous selections among
which were “Aloha,” “A Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight,” “He’s A Jolly
Good Fellow,” the iceberg song, and
also an original masterpiece, a brain
storm of one of the trio, entitled,
| “Will You be Waiting When We Re
turn. This latter piece brought forth
* r
great gobs of crocodile tears from
the multitude of Kodiak citizens on
the dock who were waving farewell.
The “Bills” felt blue in having to
leave so soon and, from the reception
and wonderful time accorded them,
they feel that the Kodiak folk were
reluctant to see them depart.
In behalf of Anchorage Lodge, No.
1351, Secretary Larson, asks The
Gateway to extend thanks to the citi
zens of Kodiak for the splendid time
extended them and that he personally
—and he felt he was voicing the sen
timents of the rest of the Brothers—
0
is already looking forward to another
visit to Kodiak. There is already
much material there for another class,
he said, and he for one, is going to
go back. At the present time he es
timates there are 32 members of the
B. P. O. Elks at Kodiak.
