LOCAL LODGE HISTORY
Sketch of Order That Will Have
Honor of Chief Executive's
Membership.
The coming of Governor Chamber
lain to this city In a few days, chiefly
for the purpose of joining the local
tribe of Redmen, will excite no little
comment over the entire state. Many
tribes In Oregon have exerted every
effort to secure his membership, not
excluding the Redmen of Portland,
but all have failed.
The members of Koos tribe se
cured the governor's application to
the lodge some months ago, and since
that time several tribes of the state1
have been awakened sufficiently to
want him as a member of their
lodge.
'' The tribe at Portland even went
so' far as to ask Koos tribe No. 33 to
relinquish Its application that Mr.
Chamberlain might be made a mem
"ber of their tribe.
in iew of the fact that Governor
Chamberlain is to be made a member
of Koos tribe No. 33 the following
short sketch of the tribe and lodge
at large will be of interest:
IUSTORY OP THE REDMEN
As Told by One of tho Coos Bay
Hraves.
In the fall of 1905, Past Sachems
Geo. N. Farrln and Ira Chapman who
were members of the order In Cal
ifornia, took steps to organize a tribe
of Redmen In Marshfleld. They were
ably assisted by Past Sachems Albert
Beollg and Brother J. W. Chapman
also of California and the result of
their labor was the organization of
Koos Tribe No. 33, on October 30,
with the charter list of fdr'ty-seven
of the leading busines and 'profes
sional men of Marshfleld.
The tribe was instituted by Great
MIshlnewa Andrew Birch of Astoria
acting Great Sachem assisted by Past
Sachem Charles Gamble l and Lee
Herring of Astoria and Past Sachems
Geo. N. Parrln, Ira Chapman and Al
bert Seellg of California.
Tho first officers of the tribe were
Sachem Albert Seellg, Prophet Geo.
N, Parrln, Senior Sagamorre J. W.
Chapman, Junior Sagamore W. E.
Kardell, Chief of Records C. H. Cod
ding, Keeper of Wampum P. E.
Hague.
After paying the expenses of or
ganization, the tribe was left without
any funds. However, they at once
ordered a set of costumes at the cost
of three hundred and fifty dollars,
and took up tho trail looking for
worthy palefaces whom they could
adopt Into tho trlbo, and by the time
tho costumes had arrived they had
captured twelve palefaces whom they
proceeded to adopt in true Indian
style.
They thon proposed to get up a
large class and to adopt tho largest
claBs of palefaces adopted by any
trlbo in tho reservation of Oregon.
Then camo the meeting of tho
Great Council of Oregon In Portland,
Geo. N. Parrln and Albort Seellg
were tho delegates from Koos, and It
was through their efforts that Mnrsh
flold secured tho Great Council;
meeting last Juno. Brother Farrln
also secured tho appointment of a
special commltteo of propagation of
.tho order, tho chairmanship of tho
commltteo of tho degree of Pocahon
tas, and also tho appointment of
Groat Sannap, and at the, lost Great
Council held In Morshflold, Brother
Farrln was advanced to tho stump of
Great Senior Sagamore. That Marsh
fleld received a great deal of benollt
from the meeting of this body of men
Is obvious.
Koos Trlbo has continued to grow
Bteadlly until tho presont time they
number about two hundred and fifty
members, besides Sacujawea Council
of tho Degreo of Pocahontas, with
ovor ono hundred members. Tho
trlbo has parapanalla to tho valuo of
$1,200, and a goodly bank account.
Ono of tho achievements of Koos
Trlbo and of which -tho members
nro Justly proud is tho application
of Governor Goo. E. Chamberlain
which waB secured during his former
vUlt hero, by Geo. N. Farrln and
i. R. Colgau,
Koos Trlbo Is especially proud of
their dogrco team. It Is pot only ono
of tho best In tho state but ono of
tho best In tho United States. The
pro icnt offlcers bt the tribe are
0
SILB
Sachem F. A. Sacchl, one of our lead
ing grocery merchants, Senior Saga
more Hugh McLain, a member of the
firm of Masters and McLain, promi
nent contractors and proprietors of
the rock crushing plant, Junior Saga
more C. L. Pennock, justice of the
peace, Prophet S. B. Cathcart, county
surveyor, Chief of Records Geo. N.
Farrln, a member of the law firm of
Farrln and Farrln, Keeper of Wam
pum, Albert Seellg, Secretary and
manager of McPherson Ginger com
pany. The Redmen Is the oldest fraternal
organization If purely American iri
glan. It was born in patriotism,
nurtured In freedom, inspired in
friendship and consecrated in char
ity. It Is tho lineal descendant of the
Sons of Liberty, who, for wore than
ten years prior to the declaration of
Independence, had by their active
work paved the way for that im
mortal act. When the Sons of Lib
erty in many localities merged into
societies if St. Tammlns from 1771
to 1800 the love of country and the
conservation of liberty were still the
guiding Impulse. In 1813 It took on
another form in the society of Red
men formed at Fort Mlflln, as shown
in the historic achieves of the order.
Under this name it existed for nearly
twenty years, with a proud record
of ' fraternity and benevolence.
For causes in like manner affected
all similar organizations of that
period, from 1828 to 1832 the society
of Redmen languished and become
nearly extinct. In 1833 brothers
who had been active therein gathered
a few of the smouldering embers of
the dimly burning council brand and
kindled the council fire of the Im
proved Order of Redmen in the hunt
ing grounds of Baltimore, Maryland,
and lengthened the chain of friend
ship by adding to Its patriotic and
fraternal features the charitable and
benevolent work of Its present minis
trations. It is a remarkable fact, which may
be used to substantiate our claim
that earlier societies were followed
in direct lineal descent by the society
of Redmen in Baltimore, that the
costumes and manners, and Indeed
some of the Identical ceremonies,
have descended in the ritualistic
work of the order. Coming down
from the Sons of Liberty, by whom
the republic was founded, our order
can be nothing less than Intensely
patriotic and broadly American and
all who come within its council
chambers aro taught loyalty to the
government which our ancestors
founded. Prom 1776 to 1783,
through seven bitter years of heroic
suffering, they struggled, determined
ot be free. The annals of those
times contain some of the most bril
liant deeds that blazen the pages of
human history.
To their declaration of independ
ence they pledged their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor. Un
dismayed by temporary misfortune,
undaunted by tho greatest sacrifices,
they fought to the end. At length
the great spirit spoke to the whirl
wind and it was still; a clear and un
interrupted, sky appeared; the path
of peace waB open and tho chain of,
friendship was once moro made
bright. The American Republic was
born and acknowledged among the
nations of tho earth. The Sons of
Liberty and the Tammlna Societies
frequently referred to each other as
the Indians and the well-known fact
will be recalled that, on a certain
important date, a party of men dis
guised as Indians, rushed down the
wharf by tho water side and pushed
into Boston harbor tho tea which had
been imported but which the colon
ists refused to receive and pay taxes
upon.
The men who constituted the fa
mous "Boston Tea Party" were sons
of tho members of the Sons of Liber
ty of Boston and vicinity. The pri
mary object of our affiliations are
patriotism, fraternity and benevol
ence. In tho Degree of Pocahontas
of necessity, tho Ideal aboriginal
princess has been exemplified rather,
than the matter of prosaic squaw,
Tho adventures of Captain John
Smith, who was ono of tho colonists
who settled at Jamestown, Virginia,
aro familiar to all. Ho had intelli
gence, tact, and Indomitable courage,
and yet these would have availed
nothing to secure from tho Interpos
ing humanity of the Indian Princess
Pocahontls, who, at tho moment
when tho uplifted club was about to
oxecuto Its commission of death,
threw hersolf upon tho bound victim,
and by tho olequenco of her looks,
tear and her languago, softened her
father's heart, and turned aside tho
blow.
In all ages the poet has sung, and
tho historian has written of the In
fluence of women upon the destinies
of tho world. Hor asslstanco has
made success possible, where without
It , failure was Inevitable. Her re
fining influence has lifted man from
tho base and sordid passions Inher
ent to his nature and brought him,
If not to perfection, yet a llttlo nearer
tho Ideal, What Is moro appropriate
thuu that Bho should bo called upon
and her influential co-operation pro
cured In any organization like ours,
whose mission Is to visit the sick, re
lieve the distressed and bury tho
dead and ducate the orphan? On
woman falls the chief burden which
trials and tribulations of th erwld
trials and tribulations of the world
visit as a seemingly inevitable legacy
upon mankind. Like gold from the
crublle, she emerged from sorrow
and become at one the guide and
consolation of man, guiding him to
a better life and consoling him In
misfortunes and distress.
Death has an added pang If the
last hour Is filled with the bitterness
of thoughts that there Is left behind
an orphan unprotected and thrown
upon the cold charity of the world.
Mindful of this, our order has es
tablished an orphand's guardian fund
sustained by the contribution of all
its members in tribe and council, de
stined to build up the grandest mon
ument of benevolent relief for the or
phans of our members known to the
fraternity. Not the isolation of an
asylum, far removed and more or
less humanely managed, will the or
phans our members cared for but
under the loving, watchful care of
the tribe at the hands of the guard
Ian appointed by its careful selec
tion. Those who have never been in con
tact with suffering, who live In finan
cial security, with curly little heads
nestling on their pillows fall to
sleep at night, certain In their child
ish faith that want can never come to
them, they do not realize the hard
ships and privations that comes to
the unprepared for the battle of life,
and upon whom fall, often without
warning the affllcatlon of orphanage.
What the world is demanding is a
better man today, and the teachings
of the Improved Order of Redmen
will make him better In freedom,
friendship and charity.

There is a plan or. foot In this city
r.mong some of the leading business
men to get Tom Richardson, secre
tary of tho Commerci.il club at Port
land, who will arrive on the the buy
this week In company with Governor
Chamberlain, to st-iv a few days In
order that he may b shown over the
entire county. It Is also the Inten
tion to get his assistance In organiz
ing a chamber of commerce. A com
mittee of three representative busi
ness men have circulated a petition
and raised sufficient money to defray
the expense of the plan.
It Is the general opinion that the
work of tho chamber of commerce
organization here has been re
tarded because of a certain amount
of friction among the members. It
Is the wish to organize a body of the
business men who will work together
for the interests of the bay country
and for the development of the
southwestern outlet to Oregon.
Though the money has been raised
it Is not yet know whether Mr. Rich
ardson can be Induced to remain in
this section of the country long
enough to carry out the- plan formu
lated. The Redmen lodge has made
plans to entertain the governor and
his party, and It is thought Mr. Rich
ardson can be prevailed upon to re
main a few days, at least.

MISSES BERTHA AND
ELLA CAMP RESIGN
Management of Marshfleld Hospital
to Ho Under Supervision of
Miss Mary Black.
Misses Bertha and Ella Camp,
who have had charge of the Marsh
fleld General hospital for the past
several months, have resigned their
positions, the latter that she may
finish her studies as a medical ex
pert, while Miss Bertha will go to
Honolulu to recuperate and visit with
relatives.
Miss Mary Black has been secured
to fill the vacancy, and will operate
the hospital In the future. Miss
Black Is recognized as ono of tho best
surgical nurses on the Pacific coast,
having been formerly 'employed for
a number of years In the surgical
ward of the Waldeck hospital at San
Francisco, from which place she
came to Coos Bay aoout three years
ago on account of poor health. Dur
ing her stay on" the bay Miss Black
has done but little nursing.
While in San Francisco a few
weeks ago the management of tho
Clara Barton hospital, San Fran
cisco, tried to obtttta Miss Black's ,'
services In the surgical ward, but she
refused on account of the fact that
she would be continually away from
home. ,
The local management feels very
fortunate In being able to secure her J
services.
