So far as possible, a cloak of b.w recy was throw nabout tho affafr with success that beyond those vital ly Interested In the facts connected with tho step placing the grand lodg of Oregon on an independent piano have not become known until 16 daya after tho called meeting wan held.

Membership FhIIh Awnjr. Various meetings of the officiate wero held and conditions wore look ed squarely In the face. It was found that undor the word ing of tho system proposed by th Su premo Lodgo tho membership In Ore gon hnd dwindled from 11,000 to about 3500. This reduction In mem bership placed tho Grand Lodge of Oregon In the enviable position of being tho wealthiest fraternal or ganization of Its kind In tho United States, and It wan to conserve Itsr funds and maintain this hkh finan cial standard that tho action ultim ately taken was decided upon. Tho reservo fund of tho Grand Lodw consists of $120,000 In boniL and $0800 In cnnh. To th credit or the interest fund In $3HC; of the benefit fund, $34,000, nnd of fh general fund, $1900.
