There is a wood in the Philip
pines bo hard that the natives use
it for nails in building houses. For
want of a better name the Ameri
cans oall it "bullet wood.". It is
made into nails five inohes long.
It is said the natives have been us
ing bullets made of this wood.
The people of the United States
are determined that the Nioaraugua
canal shall be built. This nation
has a compact with the countries
through which the canal will be
, constiuoted, empowering the United
States to build it. This country has
jthe right, the means and the de
termination, and will dig the canal
in spite of all opposition. Of course
it will be open to the commerce of
the world and the ships of all na
tions on equal terms, but build it
we will, and control it. A sugges
tion has been made that an inter
national congress be held at Wash
ington might prove the means of
- harmonizing the differences and
- bringing about a common ground
of understanding. Out of such a con
gress grew the Suez canal conven-
, tion, which controls the usage of that
waterway. There is reason to be
lieve that the project of an inter
national congress at Washington
would meet with favor of the sev-1
eral European maritime powers
which have not up to this time
taken a prominent part in canal affairs.

Medford is certainly bound by Btrong
ties of fraternity. It might well bo term
ed the city of lodges, the banner lodge
town of the state, or indeed, of the Pa
clfio coast, ot its size. Here slxteou
organizations are flourishing and more
ooming, doubtless. The mystics ties of
love and fellowship bavo a powerful
hold, and these organizations are stead
ily increasing their membership and
finanolal strength. By personal inter
views with members and officials of
those various organizations the follow
ing data was Boourod by a MAIL representative:
Talisman lodge, No. 31, Knights of
Pythias, was organized in thia otty
March 11, 1390, with a charter mem
bership of thirty-one. Today It is one
of the strongest and most influential
secret organizations in the county, and.
Its membership has increased to eighty
active young men, alt loyal to their or
der and proud of Its success. For the
past year its growth has been greater
than for any previous decade since its
incipienoy, seldom a meeting night
passing when there is not work in one
or more degrees. Their finances are
at high tide, and within a short time
they expect to own their own hall.
Later: Since the above was put In type
the K. of P.'s have purchased the S.
Childers two-story brick building on
Seventh street, near the bridge. They
will rent the first floor and the second
will be fitted up for lodge rooms. They
expect to have one ot the neatest lodge
rooms in the city when completed. The
price paid for the building was 3150.
The lodge of Odd Fellows, represent
ing the broad principles of hope, faith
and charity, was organized July IS,
18S6, with a small charter membership.
On January 1st of this year the books
ot the lodge shows a total of eighty-six
members in good Btanding. They own
their own hall, the best in the city,
and also own the Medford cemetery, on
which they have expended over $1300.
Their relief and charitable gifts during
1900 amounted to nearly $500, and their
total assets at the present time amounts
to the neat sum ot $3776. 15.
Rogue River Encampment, I. O. O.
F., No. 30, was organized May 17, 1892,
with eight charter members. They
now have thirty-five and the lodge is in
a very prosperous condition.
Another branch of the Odd Fellows is
the Olive Rebekab lodge, No. 28, with
fifty-seven members, and all earnest
workers for the order. As is well known
the ladies have charge of this order and
control its destiny. Sociability and
charity marks the conduct of this or
der. Their social entertainments are
always a source of pleasure to those who
are fortunate enough to be in attend'
ance. The never overlook anything
that will afford enjoyment and amuse
ment and an evening spent with them
is followed by many pleasant memories.
It was this branch ot Odd Fellowship
which was largely Instrumental in es
tablishing the Orphans' Home in Fort-
land for the care of orphaned children
of Odd Fellows and old and disabled
members of this world renowned order.
Their charity extends to all quarters
of the globe and is not as "sounding
brass and tinkling cymbals."
The A. F. and A. M., composed of
representative business men of this
city, has a membership of about sixty-
five. ThiB order was organized about
tea years ago, under dispensation, and
from the date of its organization It has
steadily grown in strength.
The O. E. S., Reames Chapter, No.
00, was organized April 27, 1900, with
forty-four charter members. Seldom
has an order made such rapid strides
to popularity and influence as has this
chapter. Its rapid growth Is due to a
great extent, to the sincerity and ear
nestness of the representative ladles of
this city who go to make up its mem
bership, which has grown to sixty-five
during the few short months of Its ex
istence. A the rnerrt official visit of
the worthy gr:i"d matron of the order,
Mrs. Jessie Vn':, of Pendleton, she was
exVemely pro.'. e in her corinmndulion
of the active w k prosecuted in
the ranks of the lodo, rvud predicted
that it would y anong tbo lead
ing cbapte: s of tin im
Triumph Tent, No. 14, Knights of
the Macoitboe , ; , another strong r.rder
and Bteadlly grci'ug Br;tiger. It is
benefioiary and social In its ptirpoue.
It was orfranusnd, here about seven yeaia
ago with a smU tnemVrshlp. Today
thirty-four families are r.roteci.eu' by it.
T hi Bee Hive, their ofQcinl organ, in
Ljts lant issue says, "Wo huartlly rec
ommend Triumph Tent, No. 14, into
the list ot the most progressive Teuts
in the jurisdiction."
The Woodmen of the World is pre
eminently an insurance ot i'er. It was
oi'gani.od in 1800 vith abovit.twealy-Bye
momboi 8. It liao unloved a phouominal
increase iu mtnifcor-.bJu during the past
five yoars, tbo total now being ninety-
eight. A remarkable foaturo of this
order is that there has not boon a death
in its ranks since It was organized.
The A. O. U. W. Is the oldest lodg
In thu city, having boon orgauizod
December, 1884. It hits grown with the
city and now has an active membership
of seveuty. Tbo regular uieotluir
this lodge was held Wednosduy of this
week, and it is safe to predict that this
session will long bo remembered by
thoso In attendance. At the oonoUislon
of tho business ot tho evoultig the mem
bers were preparing to hlo themselves
to their respective homos, when tboi
preparations wore suddonly iutorrupted
by the arrival of what at first appeared
to be a whole regiment of Salvation
Army lasses on ouo of their churitablo
missions. The situation was soon clear
ed up and the Degree of Honor mombors
who had planned a little surprlso for
their brother members, were heartily
welcomed and a couple of hours wore
spent In enjoying the toast which the
good ladles had proparod, Tho em
prise was cleverly planned and the ro
suit was all that could bo wished.
The A. O. U. XT., Degree of Honor,
Esther lodgo, No. 50, meets ovory second
and fourth Wednesday of caoh month
(t is an auxiliary ot tho ancient order of
United Workmen. Tho last weok a re
newed interest and activity in this
order has been manifest. Post Grand
Chief of Honor, Mrs. Mamlo Brlggs,
was present at their meeting Thursday
evening and delivered a very Interest
ing address. Tho hall was filled with
members of the order and visiting
Workmen. Twelve accessions wore
made at this meeting.
ThoG. A. R., Chestor A. Arthur
Post, No. 47, and Its auxiliary, tho
Women's Relief Corps, both maintain
good organizations. They are benevo
lent and social in their nature, and tho
meetings of these old boys of the Grand
Army of the Republic are productive
of much pleasure.
The Fraternal Brotherhood lodge
was organized last July. It Is an in
surance and fraternal order and is pros
pering.
The Modern Woodmon of America is
the last lodge which has been Instituted
in this city. It was organized about
three weeks ago with twenty-eight
members. Since then twelve new re
cruits have been taken in. Should it
continue to grow as rapidly as it has
during its brief existence it will Boon
be one of the strongest Insurance lo;l
In the city.
