Hon. Hinger Herniaim.
The only work done on Uio Fed
oral building today was when Hon.
J. C. Fullerton. as Acting Grand
Master for tho .Masonic Grand Lodge
of Oregon, used the plumb, square i
and level of Masonry and at the cere-
mony held in the presence of several
hundred citizens and school child
ren this afternoon formally set the
corner stone and dedicated the bnild
inlt in accordance with the ritual of
the order to the use or the Nation
and the people of this city and the
surrounding country.
With clouds heavily laden with
moisture obscuring the sun. a larger
nowd than had been anticipated;
during the earlier part of the day.
ventured to brave threatening;
weather and fairly blocked tlioj
street until during the latter part of i
the ceremony, a majority were forced .
to seek shelter in the nearby stores.!
Only at noon was it finally deter-1
mined to cany out the plans, one of j
the heaviest rains of the season hav-
lug fallen throughout the morning.
At 2 o'clock the weather had;
cleared, and preceded by a parade
of the school pupils and the .Masons,
which was led by the Uoseburg Juve
nile Hand, the lodge officials and ot
iice.ru of the city and Federal Gov
ernment mounted the platform. An
Improvised derrick supported the
sandstone slab before which Mr. Ful
lerlon. as the Master of Ceremonies,
took bis position. Tho ritualistic
ceremony, as observed in the placing
of the stone, was brief and very im
pressive and interesting.
After tile stone had been placed,
it was then sprinkled with the corn
of nourishment, t lie wine or refresh
ment and the oil of joy. each of
which has emblematic significance,
destined lo bring forth good in the
future uses of the structure. The
various emblematic substances were
presented to the acting Grand Mas
ter, through the other acting officials
lor the Grand Lodge. These were It.
11. C. Wood, as acting Deputy Grand
Master, Attorney Dexter Itice. as Act
ing Senior Warden, and Benjamin F.
Caro, as Acting Junior Warden.
At the beginning of the ceremony
Rev. It. K. .lope, as chaplain, offered
a short prayer, folloyed by the sing
ing of America" by the crowd, led
by Prof. F. C. Fitzpatrick. The cere
mony was concluded by an able and
loquent address by Hon. Binger
Hermann, which is printed else
where in this paper.
Had the weather been more favor
able. It is probable the crowd would
have numbered more than a thousand
people. All present were well
pleased, however, and considered the
occasion a worthy tribute lo tho Gov
ernment for making the building pos
sible, and lo the local people through
whose tireless efforts the structure
was finally obtained.
One of the features of the pro
gram was the placing of a copper
box In the brick wall behind the
corner stone, until tho bulIRIng Is in
ilm distant future torn down or re
moved. In it were sealed copies of
local naiiers, various documents and
statistics pertaining to the city gov
ernment, provided by the Masons,
and a number of coins and cards of
local citizens,
1 here were over n Masons In line
as they marched to the building from
their teninle. manv being irom oui
or town. At the building site they
marched between the rows or
dents and formed a circle around tho
scene of tffe ceremony.
