ROYAL ARCH MASONS "HELP" AN OLD FRIEND Seven members i of Enterprise chap ter, 'No. 30, Royal Arch masons, had the 'time of their lives' In La Grande, Tuesday night, when on special In vitation they saw the Royal Arch degree conferred on three candidates, one of whom was John S. Hodgln, formerly of thU city. The AVallowa county visitors were Judge J. B. Olmsted. C. E. Funk, D. W. Sheahan, W. R. Holmes, Ben Boswell nd Geo. S. Craig of this city, and Waldo C hase of Imnaha. One and all de clare they were royally treated and made to fesl at home and then some. The La Grande Observer tells of the Great Time in the Temple. There were great things doing at Masonic temple last night when the Royal Arch degree was conferred. Somehow, possibly by wireless tel egraph, it became rumored that a once prominent . citizen of Wallowa county was to be one of the ''vic tims," and when the Wallowa coun ty train pulled in there were eight or ten innocent looking individuals alighted and proceeded to let It be known that hey had come primar ily for the purpose of seeing this degrea conferred upon their . erst while friend and they did not want to be disappointed in not seeing the candidate duly and truly prepared In due and ancient form. In the Wal lowa constituency there was one or two old line campaigners and they soon engineered it so their friend was to receive the brunt of the spe:hl features, and, suffice to say, the visiting brethren were more than we'l pleased with the evening's en tertainment, which closed with, a banquet. This was the first offic ial occasion that gave the officers of Hope Chapter No. 9 an opportun ity to wear their elegant new uni form, which is acknowledged to be the finest in the state. It required very little fincy to make one be lieve that he had been viewing King Solomon's tenple with all the high court offtdila out to greet him. It was after midnight when the friends le!t the banquet table." HODGE HOMESTEAD BOUGH T $2400 SALE MARKS DISTINCT ADVANCE IN PRICE OF HILL LAND.
