AN UNSELFISH ACT.
Retiring Grand Master Dortch Set Com
nlendable Example.

The Odd Fellows of the State noted
that at the recent session of the Grand
Lodge in Charlotte, Mr.. w. L. Dortch,
the retiring Grand Master. was not cleo
ted Representative to the Grand Lodge.
Heretofore it has been customary to
grant this honor to the retiring Grand
Master. Mr.. Dortch is one of the most
popular Odd Fellows in the State, and
his brethren were anxious to send him
as Grand Representative. The reason
they did not do SO was because MIR.
Dortch would not permit it to be done.
In concluding his report, Mr.. Dortch
said:
1T is with infinite gratitude that l
herewith recognize the kind partially
that the noble institution of Odd Fellow
ship has manifested towards me. Since
the night of my initiation into its beauti-
full and sublime mysteries, it has with
kind persistence pushed me "a step
higher until the Grand Masters gavel
was placed in my hands. There l must
call halt. After careful and mature
deliberation Of years, / am convinced
that our system of electing the retiring
Grand Master, by virtue alone of that
fact, as our Grand Representative, is
10 our OTueT SuOuiu IN dDol-1
ished As evidence Of that, you will re-
call the fact that this Jurisdiction furn-l
ished the Grand Sire Of the World. We
achieved that distinction by putting our
best and strongest brother forward as
our Grand Representative, and by keep
ing him there.
IF we wish to keep up in the line of
progress with other Jurisdictions. we
must return to that system. Holding
these views in the matter, the remedy to
me is plain-some Grand Master must
break the precedent by declining to
stand for election as Grand Represen-
tative: and surely none can be found
who will more readily curb his ambition
for the good Of Odd Fellowship than /.
Please consider this determination ire
vocable. My duty in plain, and / have
tried to do it. Your duty is now to Sc
lect the proper one to represent you, and
i earnestly entreat you to make no
mistake. Please bear in mind that the
brother who talks the longest and the
lnudest on the floor at the Grand Lodge
frequently therein shows you the sum
total of his labors for the good of the
order, and may not be the best qualified
to serve as your Representative. l think
you deeply, and must ever remain your
debtor"

FINE ICE AT POYNTELLE.
The Harvest of the Chilly Crop Fur.
nslles Employment for Large
Number of LabOrers.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Poyntelle, Jan. 21.-The ice harvest
ing season is now on in full blast in
this locality, and many residents who
would otherwise be idle at this time of
the year are finding employment at the
lakes assisting in the work Of gathering
the chilly crop which is placed upon
cars and shipped away or packed in the
store houses on the shores. Lake
Poyntelle, which is the largest and fin
est of the bodies of water in this vi
cinity: is the scene of greatest activity.
The work of filing the immense store
houses. just completed, here by Messrs.
Stevens and Silsbee, of Scranton, has
been commenced and will furnish EN-
ployment for from sixty to seventy men
and many teams while the season lasts.
BY the aid of approved machinery ice
can be stored in the Stevens and Sils-
bee houses at the rate of three tons a
minute. The ice at present is about
twelve inches thick, remarkably clear
and entirely free from snow water or
sediment. AS Lake Poyntelle is fed en-
trely by springs and is situated in a
manner that prevents the water from
being polluted by drainage, it is easy
to understand that the ice cut from its
surface is uneXcelled.
Stevens and Sisbee. of Scranton, and
Mr.. Kramer, of Wilkes Barre, have CON
troll of the ice crop on Lake Poyntelle,
white the Consumers company and
several smaller concerns harvest ice
from other lakes in the locality. Mr..
Kramer ships all of his ice from the
lake as soon as it is cut, sending it over
the Ontario and Western railroad to his
ice houses in Luzerne county. Mr..
Kramer's men shipped 40 carloads yes
terday over the Ontario and Western.
While cutting ice at four o'clock this
morning one of the horses used at
Kramer's plot went though the ice. a
young man was on the back of the
horse at the time and both came very
near being drowned. The man was
easily pulled out of his perilous posi-
tion, but considerable difficulty was eX-
perenced in getting the horse out,
which was finally rescued by the aid of
another steed.
A party of Scrantonians including eX-
Sheriff A. b. Stevens, Fred +. Stevens,
Division Passenger Agent 7. Flitcroft,
of the Ontario and Western, and w. 5.
Palmer, visited the lake today and in
spected the workings of the Stevens
and Silsbee plant which has been
erected under supervision of Mr.. Sils-
bee and greatly admired the perfect
arrangements for rapidly harvesting
the ice. They took dinner with mine
host Simons at the Poyntelle hotel and
returned on the afternoon train.
Options have been secured on the ice
upon several of the smaller lakes here
about by other parties and from pres
| ent indications the ice business will
soon be one of the booming industries
of Poyntelle.
