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."
