Hunting the VIA Do.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as It indiscriminately called, is a
species OF < game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not SO much because
of the difficulty OF killing the
animal, nor because Of lts actual
rarity. 1t is "a stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t ia not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
is in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out of ten.

the local lodges before the death of the
members. the lodge to be repaid from

due, was defeated.
A new law was adopted providing
that in the future all decisions of the
grand masters of the jurisdictions in
which some law of the supreme lodge
is interpreted must be reviewed by the
supreme lodge. This law was adopted
for the purpose of securing a more
similar application of the laws of the
order in the different sections of the
country, as the grand masters have
been in the habit of making conflict
ing interpretations of the supreme
laws.
