The afternoon and evening sessions
of the lodge yesterday were devoted TO
the reading of reports of the grand lodge
officers n the transaction of routine
business presented before the gathering
for its attention.
From the report of the grand chancel-
lor a state of prosperity prevails
throughout the domain. He says:
So far as / am able to judge, / am
enabled to report prosperity throughout
this domain. Harmony and good will
prevail throughout the Jurisdiction, and
while l have not the exact figures as to
our numerical strength for the past
year, 1 think we la made a slight
gain, and know we are stronger hnan-
a number of the local lodges be-
ing in a much better condition thar one
year ago. During the year one new
lodge was instituted, n / found it
necessary to take up the charter of
old Rule No. 4.
"Broadwater Lodge-On Nov. 3, 1898.
/ Instituted a lodge at Townsend, Mont,
which was named Broadwater lodge No.
"a. There were 80 charter members,
and other good material in the COM
munity to draw from. In this work 1
was assisted by a team of 10 brothers
from Ivy lodge No. "a, and also p. G. c.
of the state of Washington, Brother
Agate, to all of whom l am under many
o obligations for assistance rendered and
take this occasion to publicly thank
them.
THE new lodge started out under most
favorable auspices, and inquiry from
to time has convinced me that the
surroundings are favorable for contin-
honor % request hat a charter be
granted ~broadwater lodge No. a."
OF the numerical strength of the or
der in the state, the following from the
annual repor of Grand Keeper of Rec
ords and Seal Jacob Loeb shows a menu
bership equal-in comparison to the
population-to the
or more staid Jurisdictions. The
report appended is certainly a source Of
qualification to the grand lodge:
