petitioned him to join hands in the
effort to stay tho threatened pro

Spencer is reported to have extend
ed tho more willingly for tho reason
that tho secession of the grand lodge
of Oregon, the richest In proportion
to membership In the jurisdiction,!
meant a heavier burden for California
to bear. j
So far as possible, a cloak of se-j
crecy was thrown about tho affair, j
with such success that beyond those
interested the facts connected with
tho step placing tho grand lodge of
Oregon on an lndpndnt plane have
not become known until 16 days after
tho called meeting was held. Not only '
do grand lodge officials declare that I
tho action was perfectly Justified, In
fact inevitable unless the Oregon jur
isdiction was willing to bow its neck
under the yoke of taxation and watch
a constant stream of its coin flow out
of the state, but they assert that
sln'co tho secession a livelier interest
has been awakened in lodge affairs
in this Btate, and the outlook for the
future on an Independent basis Is
roseate.
