knights of Pythias.

The five lodges of this society have
met as usual on the regular meeting
nights. The summer heat and poll
tics have had something to do with
lessening the attendance of late, but
withal the work is moving onward
and upward, and many poor untor-
tunate sends his blessings and prayers
heayenward for the workers in the
cause of humanity under the banner
of friendship, charity and benevolence
There are now thirteen lodges in
this domain, and all in splendid condl-
ton. Perfect harmony exists IN the
ranks of the workers, and the coming
winter will be one long to be remem-
bered because it is going TO be one OF
good deeds and intellectual progress.
The members of Eagle lodge No. Is
of Castle Gate are building a Pythian
castle.
The hall is on Main street, a very
neat two-story frame building. The
lower floor is a large hall, with en-
frances and the necessary adjoining
rooms will be used for concerts, halls,
suppers. etc. The ground plan is thirty
feet wide and seventy long. The up
per story will be used for lodge pur-
poses, being suitably arranged there
for, and is so by 80 feet. The building
will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000
and will be a great credit to the mem
bers of the lodge.
Well may the American eagle
scream, perched upon a Pythian castle
located within the majestic Castle
Gate in Carbon county. On the 9TH
of September. the new hall will be
dedicated to the cause of universal
peace and eternal good will among
the children of men.
Grand Chancellor John p. Meakin
will have charge of the ceremonies,
assisted by a number of grand lodge
officials. In the afternoon, a. grand
parade will take place, headed by the
Castle Gate band. After the exercises,
a concert, ball and banquet viii be
given. All knights of Pythias are in
vited. Special rates have been made
by the R. G. W. Railway. of $50 for
