trtct templar, ard Miss Rose Lombard
acted - secretary pro tenn. The quarrel with
the powers that Be in the Good Templsr organ
f1ation was fully discussed, and IL was appar-
emit that those present meant business They
were thoroughly warmed up to the belief that
the district had not been treated properly by the
Grand Lodge, and definitely decided ",nat it was
impossible Tor them to harmoniss with the
Grand Lodge executive committee"
The action taken yesterday went no further
than this, - Mr.. Bushell said IL would be in
consistent to organize Sons Of Temperance in .
Good Templar lodge. But the organ sstiou OF
branches of the order of Sons Of Temperance,
UeSuu last week when Division No. Was ineti-
tuted. will b actively continued. K W. Ali
con. OF Vancouver. B. c., deputy most worthy
patriarch Of the national division OF North Amer
lea. Sons of Temperance, IL now In the
city and in company with Mr.. Bushell has al
ready made appointments for organizing .
division OF the order on each evening Of this
week. Tonight they will be at Lake Washing
ton lodge, on Market street. and institute Divis-
Ion No. z. On Thursday evening they have SINH
lar Arrangements, but for reasons best known to
themselves decline to make the place public.
On Friday evening they will organize division
In the walla walls addition, and ON Saturday
evening At Dogfsn bay. Kitsap county. This
indicates that those who are now Good Temp
lars and sympathise in tho movement will sim.
ply join the Sons OF Temperance aud continue
IN the same Temperance work IN which they
have heretofore been engaged. Heretofore there
has been no organisation OF the sons OF Temper
ance In this state. and BY going over to that or.
der the dissatisfied Good Tempiars will have q
society which they can control.

In recitation. There we're six contestants, and
the gold medal was won by Miss Cora Reed, of
Star Lake Lodge. Tho second contest was for
the district gold medal, which, like the former,
