From Thursdays Daily.l
The Brothers Of the Mystic Tie Pro-
pose to Incorporate
For the Purpose Of Building a New
Temple.

When The pioneer Masons of Montana in
stltuted their first lodge in the Territory, their
numbers were few. Masonry has kept pace,
and the Order now fiourishes in all the towns
OF Montana, but in none to a greater degree
than in our own city of Butte. The Masons
of thisc city have for a long time sorely felt
the heed of a new Temple, their present hall
being in every respect inadequate to accom-
modate, in proper shape, the wants of the
Order. Desiring to provide for their &C.
commodation and convenience, the
different lodges of the city agitated the mat
pointing of committees from the lodges who
were to come together and incorporate to
raise the required amount of money to build
a Temple. Yesterday these committees met.
They represented Butte Lodge No. %.
Mount Moriah Lodge, No. "a, Deer Lodge
Chapter, No. 3, and Montana Commandery,
No.3. The committees concluded to incor-
porate under the laws Of Montana. with a
capital stock of $50 900, in shares of S25 each.
The incorporates are Jos. A.. Hyde, DR..
James Thompson, John d. Thou Is, A. IL.
Barrett and W. A. Clark. The gentlemen
selected to incorporate are active men and
jealous Massns and the business Of di,posing
Of the stock and raising the required $4,000
to erect the Temple will be speedily accom-
plished if the earnest cooperation of the
brethren is extended in the proposed work.
This will doubtless be unanimously done, for
Masons, IL over the face of the earth, take
pride in unfolding the mystic order to which
they are 50 deyotedly attached. i,etthe pres
ent lodges build a Temple and those that
come hereafter will count the times of their
meetings as ''peasants do by holy days and
maidens by trysting hours

What want to protest against, lie this thing in

about by few men, who are determined to use the
