After little discussion it was resolved
| to dispose of the tabernacle in Chau-
tauqua, if anything like what it was
worth could be had for it, and
| the following committee was appointed
to inquire into the matter: George +.
Cotterill. Chris Carlson, J. McGarvln.
| The reason given for this decision was
that the place is isolated from the rest of
the state and has no Geographic COM
munication and poor transportation. The
committee is to report to the executive
committee, which has power to dispose of
| the building.
Thir:y-one members of the Grand Lodge
| took the Juvenile pledge, and the District
| degree was conferred on nine delegates.
The grand chief templar announced the
| following appointive officers:
Grand chaplain, A. Macarthur, Davenport:
| grand messenger. J. f. Whitfield. Spokane;
| grand marshal, w. S. Kellogg, Olympia; grand
| deputy marshal, Clara wikley. Seattle; grand
| assistant secretary, Anna A. Saladay. Ellens-
| burg; grand guard, Alice Hayward, Spokane:
grand sentinel, F. II. Mckay. Spokane.
| The officers were installed by d. r. w.
| G. r. Jonas Busheil. of Seattle, assisted by
G. NJ. Blakney as installing marshal, Miss
Lucy Pratt as installing deputy marshal.
| G.. L. Haggard was elected grand vice
| chancellor and Oscar Abbott. of Spokane,
grand electoral superintendent.
The Grand Lodge adjourned at 6:l5 p. IN.
| The session was a very interesting one,
! and one in which great deal of business
| was transacted. The largest list of dele
gates ever at a grand lodge in this state
! STAYED the entire session. Most of the
| delegates came home on the steamer Grey
| hound. The balance will come today.
The Good Templars speak well of the
| Chautauqua Assembly Association, which
did all in its power TO make every one
comfortable.
The matter of dividing the big Fourth
| district was left to the grand executive.
| although it is known that lodges Seattle,
| No. G.: Pacific, No. "a; South Seattle, No.
