of declaration of war, when there Is
a fair relationship among human ac

"But, coincident with that, a fair
price commission shall be set up to
make adjustments upwards or down

Masonry played an Important part
In early pioneer life in southern Ore
gon. Warren Lodge No. 10 was organ
ized at Jacksonville on March 15th,
1955 under dispensation from the
Grand Lodge of Oregon Territory,
which also Included Washington Ter
ritory In Ita Jurisdiction.
The meeting was presided over by
Thos. Mcp. Pat ton, who waa the
founder of the lodge. There were thir
teen Mastor Masons present, and the
by-laws of Salem lodge were tempor
arily adopted. Two petitions were re
ceived, the first being that of Wash
ington French, to whom goes the
distinction of being the first man in
Oregon, south of Salem to receive the
degrees.
The lodge was chartered June 15th,
1855. with Thos. McF. Patton as
worshipful master, Patric Dunn, fa
ther of Senator Geo. W. Dunn, as
senior warden, and h. A. Rice, as Jun
ior warden.
The lodge was named in honor of
Oenernl Joseph Warren, who was a
distinguished Mason, and a hero at
Bunker Hill, In which battle he lost
his life. In the early days the lodge
met In various buildings and In the
sixties owned a two-story frame

Reading advertisements is a habit well worth cultivating.

Jackson county as a court house. In
1875 the lodge built the building
which It now occupies, and was fin
