LOCAL LODGE SPiRIT AND GROWTH WAS PRAISED i Handsome New Building to Be Dedicated Sometime in January. Continued from Friday, November 7 That Albany will have one of the grandest Knights of Pythias temples in the Pacific Northwest, upon its completion, and that he would not miss the dedication exercises under any avoidable circumstances, was the statement of Frank S. Grant, grand chancellor of the K. P. lotige of Ore gon yesterday afternoon, who in com pany with Dr. A. E. Wrightman, of Silvertou, grand vice-chancellor of the lodge, stopped off in the city for a brief visit with L. M. Curl, supreme representative and V. L. Marks, grand tribune of the order. Mr. Grant resides in Portland. He and Dr. Wrightman left on the 5:30 Oregon Electric for Eugene, where they paid an official visit to the lodge of that city last night. Dr. Wrightman and Mr. Grant were of the concensus of opinion that the local temple now under course of construction at Lyon and Third streets, was one of the most elaborate in the northwest and would be a creditable institution to the city. "The construction of this magnifi cent building." said Mr. Grant, "means enterprise, growth and spirit among your local lodge members. It is not only of significance to the city but to the state at large, because it gives individuality to the city and to Laurel Lodge Xo. 7. It is significant in many other respects. It goes to show what a substantial lodge you have here, what a remarkable growth it has enjoyed and what spirit it is endowed with. It gives enterprise to the citv as well as individuality. It is just as significant to the outside ter ritory as to Albany. "The main reason that we stopped off here," continued Mr. Grant, "was to consult Mr. Curl and Mr. Marks relative to tlie dedication of the building. I don't want to mis it and i warned to ascertain when they con templated the exercises, so I could lay my plans accordingly. I wouldn't be absent for almost anything and 1 .will be proud to attend that event and see the Albany lodge assume that errand structure for a home, that is so justly hers, that tile lodge so mstlv dc-erves. According to the tentative plans. the dedication ot the building will take place sometime in January. The plan is to have everything in readiness, the Ijuildinu to be fullv completed and fur nished before it is dedicated. The event will be an elaborate affair. It is probable that all of the grand lodge officers will be present and the full ritualistic service will he used. Of-iicr-; of t!e local lodge will partici pate. Mr. Grant, in connection with his of fice has elaborate plans for the fu ture, some of which he outlined. He is an enthusiastic and faithful work er, aside from being a congenial and wholesome hearted man. It was at the recent session of the grand lodge in Portland that he was advanced from the the office of errand vice-chancellor to that of grand chancellor. During his tenure of for mer office, which was during the past year, he travelled in official capacity throughout the state of Oregon. 53. 00 miles, visiting the various bulges. During the past three weeks he has held the new office. Mr. Grant has visited six lodges and plans to visit 25 before the first of the year. The trip to Eugene was Dr. Wrightman's first visit to the lodge in an official ca pacity. He is a practicing phyisician ai Silvertou. Last year Mr. Grant vis ited 28 lodges and this year will visit ?0. Dr. riL'htm.m is an energetic and enthusiastic worker and is thor- onirlilv interested in the work. Xcx summer Dr. Wrightman and Mr. Grant, in company with other grand lodge officers, will journey in the. docor's automobile through Cen tral and various other sections of Ore gon, to visit lodges in tho-c locali ties. Mr. Grant will go to Tacoma on Xovcmber 24. by special request of rvthians of that city to deliver his lec ture on the "History of the Order." Among the many plans that Mr. "ran: has decided to carry out, in the event it is approved, is a novel way in which all of the Oregon lodges will participate in the observance of the fiftieth anniversary of the order, which will be celebrated at the "Golden Ju bilee." to be held at Washington, D. C, February 19. 1914. L. R. Stinson, ffrand keener of records and and r.il will attend the event in Wash ington as the representative of the Oregon odges. On that date Mr. Grant will be in Baker City. His plan is to have all of the Oregon lodges in session in the evening of that day. At the stipulated time, each lodge is to wire to him, that tney are in session and in turn he will wire to Mr. Mm son at Washington, who will report it to the "Golden Jubilee convention It is pointed out that this will be an impressive ceremony, wtien it is an Justice Shedd Has Presided on Board Continuously for ! 15 Years..

That he was so drunk that he did not know whether he was in Salem or Albanv, is the belief, rela live to the case of James Carter, who was hailed in the police court yester day morning. Carter slipped one ov er on the officer however. The belief that the man was tagled as to where he was, when arrested is based on statements he made in the police court. He said be got the booze on Commercial street and that he was going to get on the train when he was arrested. The truth of the matter is he was arrested after landing in Albany and it was some time before Carter was conviuved that he was in this city.

When Chief Austin went to the jail yesterday afternoon to put the prisoner to work on the streets, the chief noticed thet Carter was more intoxicated than when confined. investigation developed that he had been imbibing freely from a bottle of whiskey in the pack. a SOCIETY NOTES S S The University of Oregon and Ore gon Agricultural College football game, coming off this afternoon, brings a great many out-of-town peo ple to our city, hence week-end parties are in evidence.

I Staff Correspondent United Press) Throw out the old cigar box, Give me my pipe of clay; For the tariff has raised the price of cigars And the.se prices 1 cannot pay. Apologies to Mr. Kipling. Washington, Nov. S. If Kipling had waited until today to write that poem in which he made a lot of wo men dislike him when he declared, "For a woman is only a woman, "But a good cigar is a smoke." it would have been necessary lor him to replace the cigar with the pipe, to make it appeal to the average man, for the Democrats tie;. ted t'.'c ei.jar :i::d cigarette as luxuries, which means that instead of reducing import dutie on them, they either remained the same or were increased. M y Ladv Nicotine received few favors from the new tariff law, Devotees of the weed do not stand much chance of saving any money under the new law, unless thev smoke it in pine form. If he smokes a clay pine, he'll be able to save more. The same old import tax of $1.S5 per pound on tiller tobacco is m et fed todav. American smokers paid $6,120.1)00 last year on this grade of tobacco. Likewise the old dutv of .15 cents a pound on unteinuied filled tobacco prevails, $17,00,00 "went up in smoke, literally last vear, as the "indirect tax" on that article, and $2,l)85,O0 more' in taxes on stemmed tiller.

AtA however, slightly lower the import taxes on cigar bauds, especially l he fancy varieties which may interest the lavel collectors who paste tip vases, jars and ash trays in a riot of labels. While the nc w law imposes a tax lower by one half, on cheap clay pipes, the regular penuv clav pipe will sell for the same amount. "T. D.'s" however, and other more expen sive clap pipes, will sell cheaper. For men who use "inakins" no tariff sav ing can be seen, unless it will be that he can get a far better grade of paper for the same or slightly lower price. The import tariff on "pa pes" is re duced 16 per cent. Republicans, how ever, declare the importers will gel Ihe difference. The "pipe fiend" who bums tobac co incense al the srine of "My Lady" with costly imported briar-root or meerschaums, may be able to save a quarter or a half dollar when he fin ally discards his old, lime-stained fa vorite ami buys a new pipe imported since October 3. The 16 per cent tar iff reduction on the fancy imported pipes will, it is believed, cause some di"ht reduction at the tobacco slores. dorse the movement on iffiud to hae a city park at the present site of the Central school and Court i lou.-e. . very interesting and comprehensive paper was g'veu by Mr;.
