A nnlwaruary of Pet Centre
Lodge, No. Tiff, 1. U. O. F.
The third anniversary of this Lodge was
celebrated by a plo nlo a' Oil Creek Lake,
on Tuesday, June 10, 1873. A real old
fashioned basket pic nlo.
Oil Creek Lake is a romaotio spot, just
tbejplace lor a pio nlo, altbonfh the accom
modations at present are not the beet, and
the proprietors are disposed to take at',
vantage of parties coming there. Oa tbis
occasion, however, the party overlooked
many things, and as far as known all seem
ed well pleased with the excursion.
On arriving at the Lake, the company,
numbering some two hundred, accompanied
by the Columbia Bsnd, took possession o1
the grounds and prooeeded to enjoy them
elves In a decidedly practical manner
Boating, danoing, croqueting, and strolllog
seemed to be the order of the day, uoti at
noon the well-tiled baskets were forth com
log, and io couples and groupes and all
justice was done to their contents.
One nocjseable feature of the occasion
was the fact that for the three preceediog
years the 10th of June has been visited by
a rain storm, and to avoid deviation from
the programme of the past the rain came on
tbis occasion, but not until alternoon when
tbe oompany finding that rain was the next
thing in order, all adjourned. tb tbe cars.
A lew Incidents worthy of note are those
ol tbe able and courteous maoner in which
Conductor Rawley performadjbls duty; o'
tbe Assistant Cooduotor who started tbe
train at tbe Centre,'' and then apparently
forgettlog tbe pio nlo started for his place
of business; of the ex. Com. who did all io
their power to make Ibe occasion a success;
of the two band boys who took their ladies
down tbe lake In sail boat, and bad to
row baok oa account of their lack of knowl
edge In nautical affairs; of tbe scamps who
went through the baskets la tbe baggage
car coming borne; of tbe different parties
who went fishing and caught a duck; of th
excellent must furnished by tbe Columbia
band; of the general good nature ol every
body, that served to make tbe occasion
bappy one, and not soon to oe forgotten.
Look out lor a tumbling over. A lectur
er In New York last week told bia bearers
that Lake Superior was formerly ibe north
pole, aod afterwards the Salt Lake region
became the pole; that It takes about thirty
thousand years for the loe to so accumulate
at pole aa to make II top heavy, when It
gives such a lureh, perhaps In a moment, as
to send the tropical seas rnsbtng over tbe
poles. Tbe ice and snow are Iben swept
down Into tropics on tbe other side, and in
Ibis way be accounted for tbe Noaobio Da
luge and tbe droves of elephants, Ac, found
lo nave been suddenly frozen at Ibe present
pole, which - was a, tropioal region when
Utah was the polo. Toat would account
loathe small logs chopped by somebody s
little batcbst which tbe "Polaris" people
found among tbe ice iu the very far nor'tt.
They were left over from tbe time when tbe
North Pole was a tropical regioi a trlfid of
a score-or inore thousand years ago. Tbe
earth bas shown signs of great disturbance
lately, whether by internal --convulsions, by
Ibe disturbing Influnnoe of tbe plauet Mer
cury, by runulog Into tbe debris of smash
ed comets, or by some other causebaa not
been satisfactorily delei mined. Possibly
tbe ice pile bas grown so big that tbe earth
is on tbe eve of flopping over, fcud that
makes tbe trouble. We must consult the
Oldest Inhabitant as to tbe date of tbe last
capsize and whether tbe thirty thousand
year period Is about expired'.

Petroleum Centre Lodge No. 715, 1 O of

anniversary, yesterday, by a pla-oio at Oil
Creek Lake. On starting at 7:30 a m, the
train three coaohes and a baggage car
prqved insufficient lo seat all. At Miller
Faro, however , tbe obliging cobductor,
Mr. Rawley, procured another coach.

reached tbe Lake at 10 o'clock, and lei I to
enjoying themselves at once, some boating,
others dancing ta tbe entrancing xtrains of
the excellent Columbia Siring Band, or
preparing lunch spots f r spreadiug tbe
bountiful supply of edibles which tbe bag
gage car disgorged. "All went mury as a
marriage bell" till noon, when the cruel
rain descended, and tbe pret'.y dickies,clotb
lined, and tbe dainty summer bats, muslin
dresses and imaculate skirts united in droop,
log and were soon innocent of starch. A
lair sprinkling ol umbrellas was along, but
entirely insufficient, due mainly to tbe re
pealed assurance Ibat tbe barometor stood
high and tbe Instrument oould not lie. Tbe
fickle ralo soon ceased, and all things look
ed favorable for a pleasant termination to
tbe affair. But in every case, no sooner
bad tbe fun been resumed In earnest than
the weather clerk sent another small re

fore drank Fox and Williams from one half
pint packages, it was good, nod helped shed
tbe rain. The supply b1 lemonade and lee
cream was more than ample, a notable ex
ception In the rule in such nutters. Most
of tbe excursiouists enjoyed tbeir dinner
previous to tbe shower. A Tew unhappy
oues enjoyed their's during tbe down puur
with tbe diversion thrown in of trying to
dodge the falling drops. By two o'clock all
united in abandoning ibo lie nl to ib e.oiin
spirits, and assembled in and around tbe
little station. The last boat sped over tbe
lake to tbe lauding plsee. Commodore
Waddell sprung ashore, aud breaking biB
waud of office turned over the miulilure
oavy of rotten, crazy tubs to the waiting
buckwheats, and started fur tbe station.
He was tbe last man to depart. Was tbe
fun ever washed out of a party of pleasure
seekers? Anyone of Ibe assemblage at the
station will deny It. Tbe laugh and merry
joke passed just as though, being soaked
to the skin was the best fun imaginable.
