One of the most elaborate and
interesting affairs in the history
of the Scottish Rite Masons, of
Oregon was the mortgage-burn­
ing celebration held at the
Cathedral at Morrison and
Fifteenth streets last Saturday.
With the customary rites of the
body th e $55,000 mortgage which
has been against the cathedral
since its completion in 1902 was
burned with ceremony on the
altar, while the members of the
Scottish Rite sat about and
looked on.
After the formality of wiping
out the last remembrance of the
debt the members of the body
and visiting Masons from all
over the state joined in a ban­
quet held on the second floor of
the Cathedral. This was one of
the most elaborate of formal
banquets ever held by the Ma­
sonic bodies of Oregon. The
mortgage burning was the
climax or the wind-up of the
twenty-eighth, semi-annual re­
unions of the Scottish Rite bodies
of
Oregon.
Forty
Master
Masons received the degree of
the Rite during the reunion of
the Masons. Those of the broth­
erhood from this city who went
down Saturday to help burn the
mortgage and enjoy the banquet
were: E. W. Haines, Allen Rice,
W. H. Hollis, C. O. Roe and
Harry Goff.
