After the adoption of .he resolutions. an
expression was had from quite . number of
the Fraternity in regard TO various sites,
suitable for Building purposes, character of
building, etc. There was but one sentiment
regarding the project-its timeIiness and ad-
visibility. There is no question that the Or
der will be enabled to raise the necessary
funds Co erect one Of the finest build
ings of the kind in the West,
and that they will do il. which one
Of the numerous sites offered, viii be accept
ed, depends upon the situation, sdaptation
and the terms az which they can be had. The
Order will be in no haste in determining, and
the Trustees appointed will give the matter
thorough consideration before deciding. We
regard this as q valuable and coDmenable en-
terpriss for the entire city, as well as the Or
der. and trust that st an early day the Ma
comic Temple Of Helena will have laid its
cornerstone, tquare and level and perpendic-
ulAr, amid the bounties of corn and wine and
oil, typical alike of good things for the An
eient and Honorable Order and this land of
"high mountains and low valleys" On the
crest of one its 6rst Lodge was opened; in
the bread mesds Of the other may It's Breth-
ren ever dwell together in peace, plenty, good
will and harmony.
