occasion being the institution of a new Lodge
of the Order in our midst. Prominent mem-
bers OF Tho fraternity from Eureka and Ham
ilton came over to assist in putting the new
organization on a working basis. The now
Lodge starts of with a charter membership
of sixteen, which will doubtless be increased
TO six times that number within the NEXT
twelve months. There Is ample material. Of
good quality, IN our owl and the surround
ing mining camps to warrant such an in
crease. The Order is one Of the most benev-
olent and benefcient institutions that is to-
day TO be found on the face of tho earth. and
Is eminently worthy Of the good will and
confidence Of all men. CHARITY. which like
the doWs of Heaven, fall alike on the just and
on the unjust" Is tho foundation stone upon
which tho edifce Of Odd Fellowship rests.
Friendship, Love and Fidelity" are the
syn eols the Order uses In its private and
public i~ilnreies. Il is confined by no narrow
creed or dogma. II is broad enough to enroll
among it members all who would adopt tho
Golden Rule, do good 10 all men"
