TEMPLE TO COST 130,000.
In 1S69 the Masonic Building A
sociatlon -was organized for the pur
pose of erecting a temple" at Third
and Alder streets, the present head
quarters of Oregon Masonry. A re
markable growth by the order
brought about the urgent demand
for a new home and in August.
3 90S. the site for the new temple of
which the cornerstone was laid yes- ,
terday was secured at the corner of
West Park and Yamhill streets for
25.000. ' '
The building as planned will cost
J130.000 and will be turned over
complete in every detail to the
building association next June. It
will be four stories In height. There
will be club, banquet and blue lodge
rooms on the lower floor and the
upper floor will be set aside for the
use of the Oregon Knights Tem
plar. Of the $250,000 capital stock
of the building association, the
Grand Lodge owns a controlling in
terest amounting to $130,000. The
present directors of the association
are: J. M. Hodson. president; A.
M. Knapp. secretary; M- S. Wood
cock. Corvallis, treasurer: Harry

There are 107 active lodges of
Free Masonry in Oregon with a
membership of TS69. according to the
latest directory. The first meeting of
the Grand Lodge of Oregon was held
In Portland. September 13. ISM.
Two days later the organization was
completed. ' The late Berryman Jen
nings was the first Grand Master of
the Oregon Grand Lodge.
Free Masonry in Oregon yesterday
marked upon the pages of its history one
of the most notable events since the or
ganization of the grand lodge in 1S51, by
the laying of the cornerstone of the mag
nificent new temple which is in course of
construction at West Park and Yamhill
streets. The strength and solidity of
tree masonry as it flourishes in Oregon
was splendidly exhibited when nearly. 700
members of the srand lodge paraded the
streets of Portland to the site of the
building where thousands gathered to
witness the vastly impressive yet simple
ceremonies. The exercises began , at 2
o'clock in the afternoon and were pre
s.tijd over by Most Worshipful Grand
Master Dr. W. T. Williamson.
The streets were lined with people yes
terday afternoon when the long proces
sion of masons marched from their pres
ent headquarters at Third and Alder
streets to the site of the new temple.
The grand commandery of Knights Tem
plar, with about WO costumed knights in
line, escorted the members of the grand
lodge. The procession was headed by a
band and swung up Third street to Yam
hill and thence to West Park. With the
exception of the commandery of the
Knights Templar, those in the proces
sion wore the Masons' white aprons. Be
fore the parade the grand lodge was
opened by Grand Master Williamson at
the old temple, where it returned to
adjourn following the ceremonies.
Crowd Witnesses Ceremony.
Several thousand people witnessed the
laying of the cornerstone, and the crowd
was thickly massed in the streets sur-
rounding the site of the temple. Many
sought points of advantage in the win
dows of the adjoining buildings and when
the ceremony began the streets were
rractically impassable, so dinse was the
crowd
Heads were bared while Chaplain T. F.
Byan. of Oregon City, read the opening
prayer, and Grand Secretary J. F. Robin
son read the list of articles contained in
a copper box which was placed inside
the cornerstone. The box contained
evidences of the civilization of today,
such as records of the proceedings of the
frand lodge, a list of the Masonic bodies
and its members, copies of the Portland
newspapers, coins, stamps and cards
bearing information about the temple.
Under the direction of Grand Master
Williamson the massive stone was swung
into position He was presented with
three vases containing corn of nourish
ment, wine of refreshment and oil of
joy. which he poured upon the stone.
"We are assembled here today in the
face of you all." he siid. reading from
the Masonic ritual, "to build a house,
which we pray God may deserve to pros
per, by becoming a concourse for good
men. and promoting harmony and bro
therly love throughout the world, till
time shall be no more."
With impressiveness and deep emphasis
he pronounced these words. The grand
honors were given when the white gloves
upon the hands of the hundreds of
Masons shone in the bright sunlight for
a moment as the sign was executed. The
benediction was pronounced; ' So Mote It
Be." answered from the many throats,
and the cornersTone of the magnificent
monument to the enterprise and to the
devotion of the Masons of Oregon to
their order was laid.
Following the ritual services Judge John
B Cleland, past grand master, delivered
the principal address of the day. The
others who spoke were Grand High Priest
Lot I Pearce." of Salem; Judge George
A Burnett, grand commander of the
Knights Templar, and Mrs. Robert Lutke.
past grand matron of the Order of East
ern Star. Following the addresses the
line of procession wan agiin formed and
the grand lodge marched to the temple at
Third and Alder streets, where it ad
journed. Judge Cleland in his address said in
rart:
Address of Judge Cleland.
This is a notable day in the history of
Masonry in Oregon It is an important one
to the Masons of Portland For tne third
time In the city, a building has been in
part, at least, designed for Masonic occu
pation. The square and compasses carved in
tone marks one at First and Burnside
streets, tne other is the oM Masonic Tem
ple at Third and Alder streets. It seems
unfortunate some memorial of each build
ing cannot be incorporated lr.to this tern-"

and appreciates the labors of the pioneer

th advantage and privilege afforded by tne
opportunity these apartments will supply
for social intercourse and friendly com
panionship. This temple has become a possibility
through the labors of earnest brethren who
patiently and faithfully supported the causa
of Masonry through the trying days of fron
tier life, undaunted by the disadvantages
and hardships they encountered. They were
determined to establish their beloved order
upon a substantial foundation. They may
have missed a measure of the fam to
which tneir zealous service was entitled
but they did not fail to win success.
Many of these brethren are dead, and U
Is impossible to make up a." roll of honor
without incurring the danger of omitting
names of some equally worthy of distinc
tion. On this day of congratulation Masons
of Oregon will offer the tribute of sincere
praise and brotherly commendation to the
memory of these unselfish and devoted
men. Gratitude is also due to the living.
It is fortunate some of the loyal, devoted
band of early Masons are still able to go up
and dawn among the brethren. To them the
craft offers assurance of appreciation and
eternal commendation of their valuable la-'
bors.
Requirements of Masonry.
No man who can look abroad over the
earth, perceiving the beauty and grandeur
of the laws which govern the processes of
nature, and contemplate the immensity and
harmony of the universe stretching through
the limitless realms of space, without be
lieving in his heart that this perfect order
is the work of one great architect, can be
come a Mason. The responsibilities of life
are so solemn that one who will not rever
ence the great creator is unfitted kj assume
the performance of Masonic obligations. The
novitiate must in sincerity profess belief in
God. but beyond this great fundamental
thought, the creed of Masonry is one that
has never been written. Each member is
left to learn it for himself.
The ideals oX Masonry are so lofty, the
morals it inculcates so pure that the just
and upright Mason in his life should ex
emplify that which is thus defined: Pure
religion and undefiled before God and the
father is this, to visit the fatherless and
widows in their affliction and to keep him
self unspotted from the world.
Operative Masons in their labors were
guided by the counsel of skillful men. in
the application of the principles of archi
tecture to the undertaking in hand. Specu
lative Masons engaged in the development
of mind and character are taught to model
their work after the most lofty standards
and establish it upon the great verities ap
proved by the wise and good. A building
designed, built and adorned In exact con
formity with a clear beautiful and complete
design, may Indeed furnish an example and
type for tne emulation of those workmen
who do not build with stone arid mortar.
King Solomon's Temple presented to spec
ulative Masons a combination, of wise de-
stcn, harmonious construction and magnifi
cent decoration, and thus furnish an exam
ple of excellence which all Masons might
aspire to equal.
Masonry's Cardinal Virtues.
and deceit has been the teaching of wise
and thoughtful men In all ages. The rela
tions of men to each other in all the asso
ciations of civilized existence must b reg
ulated by this spirit of candor and sincer
ity, or the very organization of human so
ciety will be imperilled and destroyed. Truth
Js one of the tenets of a speculative Mason
One of the cardinal virtues of Masonry is
justice, and the initiate is constantly ad
monished to conform to the laws and prin
ciples of rectitude in the lodge, among the
brethren and with all men. To practice
these homely but fundamental virtues faith
fully, is to perform acceptably the highest
duties men owe to society and to each other.
Because many fail in performance, the
greater the necessity to patiently teach the
honor of bravely, fulnling the full measure
of a good man's duty .

Any one visiting the Toung Women's
Christian Association rooms any morning

the opening of the Bible and educational
work every available room is utilized for
class purposes. There may be seen a
company of girls trying industriously to
make old hats look "a'maist as weel as
new," while in the rooms adjoining, oth
ers are looking into the beauties of
Tennyson's "Idyls of the King." Thfsound
of a mandolin comes to us down the long
hall, and following this sound one passes
a band of girls earnestly studying Old
Testament characters. In the long dining
room a class of 11 is learning to handle
their voices - in reading and speaking,
while across the hall a group of for
eign girls are conquering the difficulties
of "English as she is spoken."

Xegro Resort Raided.
Because of the report made by John
Q. Calvin, a stranger in Portland, that
he had been robbed of $50 by a woman
in a negro resort at 307 Couch street, a
raid on the place was made last night
by Sergeant ot Police Cole and Acting
Detectives Hill and "Joe" Burke, and
four negresses were arrested. Ida Wil-

Dr. Francis H. Truth, physician, spirit
ualist, palmist, general good fellow and
other things too numerous . to mention,
dropped into Portland several months ago
and dropped out again last week, leaving
enough bills behind him to pave a street.
There are about a dozen merchants In
Portland who would very much like to
know where he has flown, and detectives
are searching all the cities along the
Coast in the hope of finding him. So far
as is known, at least a dozen Portland
business 'men were victimized, and it is
said that their losses will aggregate more
than JMOO. George Jabour, the Turkish
rug man, who furnished Truth with sev
eral splendid specimens of tapestries, is
so anxious to learn his whereabouts that
he Is willing to hand $50 to the person
who will give him the much-desired in
formation. .
Portland merchants who were jolted by
Dr. Truth declare that he is about the
slickest individual that ever struck town,
and expect that as soon as it is generally
known that he has skipped town that
many more debts will develop. When he
came to town he immediately made a de
posit of several hundred dollars in the
First National Bank and began to run up
bills.
He made a big showing and when asked
goods. He talked so suavely and was so
convincing that he was believ;d by all.
and he was allowed to buy as much as he
wanted.
When' making a purchase he always
made part payment, presenting a check
on the bank, which was honored. This
gave the merchants confidence in him.
He promised to pay all his creditors last
Friday when his check was due to arrive,
but it was Friday that he disappeared.
It is said that he bought enougn new
clothes to last him for several years, rie
was accompanied by a woman whom he
introduced as his wife, and he also pur
chased for her all the fine clothes that she
could conveniently and safely carry away
in her trunk. He bought the most ex
pensive silks and furs for her, and before
he left town it is said that she was the
best-dressed woman in Portland.
His great specialty was to display dia
monds. Persons who have seen his
"drops" say that they are genuine and
that they are worth at least $10,000. He
had a braeelet containing 16 stones and
possessed rings and studs galore. When
he wanted to make a second purchase at
any of the stores he had a habit of going
around and flashing h:s diamonds. This
renewed the confidence of the merchants
and he" was given a free rein.
The merchants say that "polished" does
not half describe him. They say that he
has a thorough education and speaks sev-
that the color of Morrisey's eyas does not
agree with the circular. Other - minor
details were lacking and the man was
allowed to go. Throughout the interro
gation Morrisey seemed dumbfounded,
asking what all of it meant and declar
ing again and again that he never was
in Nebraska. After the officers found
their mistake they showed Morrisey the
circular. Morrisey studied the . circular
with the picture closely for several sec
onds and as he walked out of the sta
tion declared to the officers
"If not for the printing on the circular
I . would swear it vwas my picture
Thunder." he said, "that was a close call
Me to the woods."
And with this tie vanished to make a
hurried trip out of the city. The police
authorities declare that if there are
doubles in this world Morrisey and Soren-
son certainly belong to that class.

Coffee.

Coffee does certainly hurt many per

thing to know it and another to devise
som-e way to change the habit and still

Thousands of persons all over the world
have found it easy to quit coffee because
they use Postum Food Coffee.
"For years I've felt the harm of drink
ing coffee," writes an Iowa woman, "but
I liked it so well I stuck to it until about
two years ago I quit coffee, and tea, too,
and began to drink Postum.
"I made it, not like coffee, but boiled It
according to directions on the package,
and the first time we had it we all liked
it. We have it now. morning, noon and
night, and all feel healthier and happier
for the change.
"I never have heartburn nor indiges
