lndepsadsat Order Of Odd Fellows.
Tho meeting Of the Grand Lodge of
Washington at Olympia during the past
was the largest assembly OF the Three
linked brethren that ever met in this
state. One hundred and ninety repre-.
sentasivcs were present from member
ship OF about 237 of which tho Grand
Lodge is composed. The principal lcgisla-
tion done was change in the method Of
districting the state. The result OF this is
that every lodge is now a district and has
district deputy appointed directly from
the Grand Lodge. There is considerable
difference among the Odd Fellows as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of this change. 1t will
undoubtedly work well in tho cities where
members can easily post themselves on
lodge work. In the country, however.
this same opportunity is not to be had.
Considerable time Was taken up hy a
proposition 10 reduce the membership OF
tho Grand Lodge, but every movement in
this direction was frustrated. Ii Is be-
lieved, however. TO be a very general senti-
ment throughout the state that such n re-
duction Is advisable. II woald materially
reduce the expense OF the Grand Lodge, a
matter of considerable momen: in itself.
The Grand Encampment oil the state met
on Monday morning and carried through
somo important legislation. 1t amended
its constitution as To the high priests by
deprtving those officers of their member
chip IN the Grand Encampment. The rea-
son of this WAS that the grand camp was
bee oming too cumbersome a body.
4 new lodge has been granted 4 charter

The time for meeting os the Gfand Lodge
has been changed from tho first Tuesday
