OREGON
The District Convention ot the
Knlfchts or Pythias, which was held
at lieumond last Tuesday evening,
January lth, was one of the largest
attended affairs of its kind that has
occurcd In this section In a long
time. A special train was run from
i'rlneville to the Jifhctlon to accom
odate the members of Lima Lodge,
No. 65. The train was met at that
place by a string of autos from Red
mond and the whole rollicking buch
driven to the beautiful and commod
ious castle hall, where the meeting
was to he held. Before passing on
to a further description of the big
meeting, It is only fitting that men
tion be made of the new home of the
Itedraond K. of P.s. It Is one of the
largest and best arranged fraternal
halls that It has been our pleasure
to Inspect in a good while, and Is
Biade up of dining rooms, kitchen,
club room ante rooms, regalia and
property rooms, the latter1 being fit
ted with lockers, hangers, dust
proof closets, and everything that is
necessary to protect the elaborate
regalia and paraphanalia which is
used in the exemplification of the
benutiful story which is the founda
tion ot this grand order. In addi
tion to the above, the building is fit
ted up with all modern sanitary ap
pliances, and is electrically lighted
and thoroughly ventilated. It is
certainly a big addition to the town
in which It is located and reflects
great credit upon the local lodge who
are its owners.
The convention was attended by
about 500 members from all the dif
ferent lodges in the district, aud ev
ery item in the whole program as
pulled oil with a vim and snap that
left not a dull moment tor anyone
present. The work wasihtersperced
with vocal and Instrumental selec
tions, furnished by the best local tal
ent, and was, in every instance, re
warded by deafening applause by the
large body preseut. The banquet.
which was served at eleven o'clock
was ot such a qualitx and abundance
as to make it Impossible to properly
describe, suffice it to say that it was
simply wonderful in every respect.
It was gotten up, served and presid
ed over by the Pythian Sisters.
One of the maiu features of this
meeting was the contest which was
to determine which of the lodges in
the whole district was most profi
cient in exemplifying the work in
the Knight rank. The teams to com
pete were Bend,- Madras Redmond
and Prineville, aud the prize tor the
team winning was to be an article to
cost $30. This prize announcement
caus&l each team to make big pre
parations aiftl a great deal of work
in preparing fliemselves to carry oil
the "bacon", and naturally resulted
in exhibitions In each case ot won
derful team work and perfect deliv
ery. Bend was the first to come on
the floor in the contest, aud her elab
orate costumes and perfect conduct
in drill showed much preparation
for the occasion. Next came Prine
ville, who worked through the con
test arrayed inthe uniforms ot the
Redmond lodge, (they having taken
no paraphanalia with them). After
the banquet Redmond team came
on the floor and finished the contest
The Judges were composed o t
three Grand officers including among
them the Grand Chancellor Com
mander. After a number of wonderfully in
structive talks were made and much
music enjoyed, the Grand Chancellor
urose and announced the name ot
the winning team and gave the num
ber of each team's points, as lollows:
Bend, 800 pouits; Redmond," 370
points; Prineville, 376 points; mak
ing Prineville the winner by six
points. The decision was a hard
one to arrive at, owing to the exceP

m www n
lence of the work In each of the
three cases, but was Impartial and
j proved entirely satisfactory to all
I present. Tbe following are the
J flames of tbe participants from
Luna Lodge No. C5 of Prineville in
the order lu which they come: K.,

Mon., H. Maker; Pyth., Dr .H. G.
Davis; Her., T. L. Quinit. The can
didate who received the work from
the team of Luna Lodge, was, Adrian
Yancey, of this city, who was taken
along for the occasion.
Master of Work Will Trunkey of
Luna Lodge, is deserving of great
credit for the manner In which his
team put pn the work, as are all the
members taking part in the drill.
The entire membership of Luna
Lodge might well be proud of the
team which represented them so well
at the convention.
The Grand Chancellor and Grand
Keeper of Records and Seals will vis
it the local lodge sometime In the
future for the formal presentation
of the trophy won.
The Redmond Knight are cer
tainly royal entertainers and deserve
a great big tiger for the treatment
of all those who attended.
About fifty Knights atended the
convention from Prineville.

Enthusiasm in 'the girl's division
of basketball is beginning to slacken.
Being merely confined to practice,
not a great deal of Interest can be

BAD LUCK CAUSES
When C. J. Wolf, of Chicago, fath-
i er of Mrs. Fred Hoelscher, drove Into
Prineville last Saturday he got
stuck in the road, and his car had to
be pulled out. In the mixup, he lost
a very valuable diamond ring, be
tween two and three- carats, along
the road, and mourned the loss as aa
incident which coult not be reme
died. ' . '
On Monday, when he was return
ing to the ranch from a trip to town,
i the front wheel ot the car came off,
perhaps 50 feet from where he was
j stuck on Saturday. A number ot
people stopped to help him and after
considerable delay and trouble the
car was fixed with the aid of a gar
age trouble car. Mr. Wolff happen
ed to mention that he had lost the
ring, and it was found in a few min
utes close to where the car had stop
ped the second time, which proves
again that seemingly bad luck often
turns out to be the forerunner ot
good fortune.

and brought up tbe subject of relief
tor the Armenians. A chairman ot
each class was chosen tq receive sub
scriptions from the members. Each
