1t has brought together about rs OF
the leading, intelligent spirits of the
order. who assembled for the purpose
of transacting legitimate business,
which will. either in the present or
near future, advance. the order step
higher in this mountain country. When
true men get together and discuss the
affairs of Odd Fellowship. their labors
are not in vain. The grand lodge rep
resentatives have done a good work
and gone to their homes to carry out
the principles which are ever inculcated
in the breasts of true Odd Fellows.
Three appeal cases which came up
before the grand lodge were disposed
OF in an equitable manner, for the best
good of all. Several changes in the
constitution for subordinates and Re
bekahs were made to conform to the
sovereign grand lodge law.
II was a pleasure to see so many of
| the old veterans in the session and the
attention they received from the young
er delegates when they rose to adj
dress the grand lodge. An incident oc-
CURED which proves the above. A
young representative from a neighbor-
| ing town arose to express his Seni-
nents on certain measure which was
| being argued. His language stirred
up the sentiment of those near him,
until applause greeted him frequently
|
| the vote had been taken Immediately,
no one doubted what the result would
! be. But another rose to speak, a vet
eran in parliamentary usage and a de-
batter, and when the vote was an
nounced it showed that fact was
stronger than sentiment" The fiery
! zeal of youth cannot stand against ex-
| perience and knowledge.
The grand masters appointment of
D. ID. G.. NJ. s for subordinates and Re
bekah hodges gave universal satisfac-
ton, and there is no question of the
popularity of John NJ. Breeze as grand
master.
The retiring grand master, w. o.
Carbis, had the love of the entire jur-
isdiction, and even those who at the
beginning of his term had doubts of his
ability and fairness on account of his
comparative youth, had TO acknowledge
that the order never had better quail
flied or more conscientious presiding
officer over the affairs Of the grand
lodge than he. The presenting to
Brother Carbis of a splendid specimen
of the jewelers. art in the shape of
p q. MS jewel, was a graceful ac-
Acknowledgement on the part of his
friends of the hold he has on the affec-
tions of those with whom he has la
bored for year past. Though out of
office, he will not be forgotten.

master of Idaho and past grand mas
ter of Colorado were appreciated by the
visitors. who, we doubt not. will return
to their grand lodges and say that
they never witnessed a more harmoni- |
Gus gathering of representatives. Har- |
mony, love and truth were ever pres
ent during the session.
The resolution of Representative F. j
r. Christensen, requesting the grand |
representatives to use, their best en-
deavors in the sovereign grand lodge
to change the session of that body |
from annual to bi-annuaL, prevailed. |
By resolution the grand master was |
empowered to issue a dispensation to
institute a Rebekah assembly on the
petition of two-thirds of the Rebekah
lodges.
The resolution offered by Representa-
tive Snyder of Park City, congratulate
ing Past Grand Master z. D. Hoge on
his recovery from his recent severe
illness, carried unanimously. The re-
port of the committee on ways and
means, which was adopted made lib
eral allowances for the grand masters
expenses, grand secretary's salary and
other necessary expenses of the grand
lodge. Per capita. tax was fixed q S1.50
per year per member.
The Utah Odd Fellow received recog-
milton for its services in behalf of the
order, and its editor was by resolution
made official reporter for the session
In the grand masters report we find
