Prineville is to have s new
Masonic Temple. The initial
Hteps are being taken and its a
pretty safe conclusion that the
Masons will not fall down on any
thing they undertake. The build
ing contemplated will be a two
etory brick and stone structure 70x
100 and will be erected on their lot
corner of Second and A streets.
Two stores will occupy the ground
floor and the one above will con
tain the lodge rooms. The temple
will cost somewhere between
$17,000 and $25,000. Already
12100 has been raised and it is
not thought ttiere will be any
difficulty in securing the balance.
The Prineville Lodge, No. 76,
has issued the following circular
to its members:
Puisevili.e, Or., Nov. 29, 1907.
Dear Km and Bkothrr:
Ttie world moves. "Progress" Is
the watchword that has brought
about the supremacy ol the Caucas
ian race, and has advanced uni
versal knowlwlne and profound phll-
ohodv to a degree heretofore un-
d reamed of. Masonry, the noblest,
grandest and most apelent of ctvl!
Institutions tins not opy kept pace
with the rapid mutations of time,
but ha ninrkel succeeding ages with
the Imprint of Its beautiful precepts
and sublime philosophy. And today
It stands In splendor, the one uni
versal religion, teaching the brother
hood of man, the exponent of con
stitutional liberty enlightening; .the
world.
The Institution has ever been In
the van. Grand Jurisdictions have
continued to advance their powers
for good. Hubordlnate lodge must
tie the strong: pillars to support the
grand supenttructure. Individual
Maona should te progrcHlve.
This lodxe ha Ions recognised
the nceMlty of providing more
commodious quarters for IU com
munications, and in keeping In the
front of progretts and development.
Three years ago the lodge pur
chased the quarter block at the
southwest corner of Second and A
streets In PrlDevIHe, as a site for a
future Masonic Temple. This Is one
of the most desirable building site
In the city, and Is now worth
more than twice the purchase price.
The present lodge room was erected
by a handful of self-sacrificing and
enthusiastic Masons twenty-two
years ago, and at that time was
ample for all purposes; but with a
growth of membership from 12,
when the lodge was organised, to
over 70 at the present time, the
lodge feels that It should have a more
modern edifice. At -the regular
communication of September, It
was the sense of the members pres
ent that the time was now ripe to
take active measures for the erection
of a new Masonic Temple.
Under the constitution the lodge
is prohibited from building this
house as an Incorporated lodge, so
a proposition along the following
lines was considered feasible:
The building and site is presumed
to cost some f 16,000,00. Let there
lie a Masonic Building Association
incorporated with a capital stock
of that amount. Let the lodge sub
scribe S8.000.00 of the stock and the
Individual members the balance.
The lodge to convey to the building
association the site for, say, 15,000,00
as a payment on Its stock, and pay
in $.1,000.00 In money, which, wltn
the 8,000.00 subscribed by member
ship, will provide a building fund of
111,000.00 cash.
At the September meeting 13 mem
bers were present and $2100 sub
scribed, or an average of over f 150
per member. In order to raise
sufficient funds themembershlp will
have to subscribe an average of
$125.00 stock, but subscriptions can
be in amounts ranging from $50 to
1000 according to the subscriber's
ability. This, we think, can be
easily done. This Is not a donation
or contribution to the lodge, but an
investment In a handsome com
mercial and lodge building that
will In all probability pay dividends
after the first year. It is the plan
to have the lodge buy in the stock
at par value as soon as circum
stances will permit. A building
committee has been appointed with
Instructions to secure plans and
clflcatlon. It Is proposed to
erect a two-story brick . and stone
edifice, with lodge rooms on second
floor and commercial rooms on
first floor. This is agreeable to the
modem practice and will provide a
revenue.
CHARGED WITH
BURGALRY
Two young toughs named Ed
Ramusen and John W. Cocbrin
were brought in from Ash wood
Sunday by Sheriff Elkins, charged
with burglary. They broke into
ihe store at Ash wood on Thanks
giving night and helped them
selves to clothes and shoes, so the
complaint reads. The young
chaps are only about 20 years of
age. They drifted in here from
Washington about a month ago,
and have had a pretty good time
since. They have been working
some for T. S. Hamilton who gives
one of the boys a good reputation
but the other one he Js not so aure
about. The boys will board with
the sheriff until their case is dis
posed of after the holiday's.
TRIED TO
COMMIT SUICIDE
CHANGE IN
LAND RULES
Three important changes have
been made in the rules of the
United States land department
which are of interest to a number
of people in this county. One
change touches the rights of the
heirs of a successful claimant
against a homestead entry
Another effects the enlargement of
a desert land claim and the third
permits claimant to cease resi
dence on his land after the filing
of the final proof and pending the
hearing in the local land office
The secretary holds that the
same conditions are imposed upon
the heirs as upon any other home
steader; namely that both resi
dence and cultivation are neces-
eary
In recent instructions to the
general land office the secretary
John Ktam got tired of the hum
drum life on this terrestial sphere
and thought to make a change by
the razor route to the realms of
the nnknown. He didn't quite
succeed but had the satisfaction
of knowing that he had a close
call. It was laet Friday that John
took a couple of slashes at the
right side of his throat and nar
rowly misse'd the jugular vein.
He was found lying in a pool of
blood in a room at the Poindexter
Hotel. He had been lying there,
it was thought from the loss of
blood, .about an hour, before his
condition was known. A doctor
was called and the gash sewed up.
From the man's' own statement he
made two attempts to cut bis
throat. The first time he did not
think he had gone deep enough so
he tried again and came near
finishing the job.
John Stam had been a county
charge for a good many years but
last summer the county court
thought he was able to make bis
own living so turned him loose to
shift for himself. He got along
all right working at different places,
until he tried to end it all.
Stam has been adjudged insane
and was taken to the asylum at
Tuesday.
claims which are not of full area
as allowed by the act These in
structions were as follows:
"The enlargement of desert land
entries made for less than the
maximum area that may be made
by one person will be allowed only
in cases where the entryman could
not at the date of his entry as
originally made, because of the
filings or entries made covering
adjacent lands embrace in bis
entry the full amount allowed by
law, but immediately took approx
imate steps to clear the record as
to a particular tract of such ad
jacent land with the view to sub
sequently including such tract in
his own entry, and clearly indi
cated in his application for his
original entry that such waa his
