Grand Chancellor Grant and
the Grand Vice-Chancellor
Wrightman HereYesterday.
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

HE WIS IN ALBANY
Prisoner However, Slipped One
Over on the Police
Yesterday.
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 he was confined in jail, in
default of a fine, as usual the officers
searched him. 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.
