Members of the subordinate lodge,
1. o. o. F., before joining other secret
societies, should make some inquiry into
the merits of the encampment branch
of the order. If you are satisfied with
Odd Fellowship, so far a syOu have
learned its secrets and observed the
outward application of it's principles to
the affairs of life, you cannot fail to
find additional qualification in studying
what are termed the higher degrees.
When properly set forth the lessons
there presented and illustrated cannot
fail to make a lasting impression and
leave a salutary influence on mind and
character. Having crossed the doorsiH
of the subordinate lodge and learned its
initial teachings, if the insight there
gained of its aims and objects is in ac-
cord with your inclinations, and COM
patible with your convictions of duty
toward God and your fellow men, you
should not rest contented until you
have traversed the wilderness, found
the shelter of the Patriarchal tent and
been placed in full possession of all the
rights and privileges of the royal pur-
pie degree-the highest degree of Pat
riarchal Odd Fellowship"
Canton ColfaX No. l, Patriarchs Mil
liant, of this city had installation of
officers on Tuesday last. w. s. Gels,
commandant; W. ]. Moore, lieutenant;
c. A. Walker, ensign; c. o. Farms
worth, clerk; George Virden, account
ant; Department Commander Baum
gartner and W. H. Butcher, major on
the staff of the grand lodge were in at
tendance and made some good re-
marks on the best way to increase the
interest of the chevaliers and build up
this branch of the order and place it
where it belongs.
Oquirrh encampment No. 1 meets to-
morrow night, and will have work in
one or more degrees. Members of this
encampment have made it their bust
ness TO interview subordinate members
at every opportunity and urge upon
them the advantages of patriarchal
Odd Fellowship. Many brothers have
a different opinions and ideas of the
encampment branch than what it really
is, and by telling them the truth they
frequently become applicants for en-
trance into the higher part of the order
The subordinate lodges have had their
regular meetings the past week, and
are marching along in the right way to
build up the order in this part of the
west.
The members OF the A. o. y. w. or
der are still actively at work, increas-
ing the membership of the local lodges.
Eagle Gate lodge, No. 10, had one can
didate for the junior degree and five
for the Workman degree, initiated at
the meeting last Wednesday, and there
are four more candidates for the junior
degree next Wednesday night.
While Salt Lake Valley lodge, No. u,
did not have any degree work at its
meeting Thursday night, the members
had an interesting time, and they will
be heard from later on, as they have a
number of prospective members in
view, who will be initiated ere long.
Temple lodge, No. Is, had several ap-
plications for membership at its meet
ing Friday evening, and there is some
talk of about 20 or 80 who will join
that lodge just as soon as one of those
now examined has received the degree
work and pronounces it all o. K,
which he undoubtedly will.
The committee having the fraternal
visit to Park City in charge is expect
ing a big turnout. To give all chance
who desire to go on that occasion, they
have changed the hour of departure
from the Rio Grande depot to o'clock
p. m. Remember the date, Wednesday,
May H. The committee would urge on
those DESTROYS of going to purchase
to enable the committee to make ar
rangement for the visitors comfort
Tickets can be had from A Brown
Auerbach's store; George Teasdale, T.
c. NJ. l.; John Harrington, under Walk
er's bank; T. G. Lewis, j. B. Taylor
and Joseph S. Darke, and also S. w. R.
Brown, at the Syndicate store.
Locally, the order of the Knights of
the Maccabees is progressing finely
Salt Lake City tent, No. 2, is building
up it's membership as rapidly as COM
ports with the best interests of the
organization, its membership being
made up of simply a first-class lot of
men.
March last, is also in a fair way to ma
terially increase it's membership with
in the next few months. The tents
throughout the state of Utah are doing
well, and when it is known that the or
der has written and now has in force
in the state, over a half million dol
lars worth of insurance, only having
commenced business here in 1895. it
speaks for itself. AT Beaver and Mil
ford, in the southern portion of the
state, the members are awake to the
interests of the order, and new men,
bers are the order of the day.
In Nevada the order is just starting.
At De Lamar a tent was instituted
last fall. AT Phoebe a fine tent of 20
members was organized last month,
and this tent is the first in the state
to receive a charter. OF this tent State
Senator James A. Denton was elected
past commander; DR.. John d. Camp
bell; commander: Robert H. Burt, lieu
tenant commander; Wilkes J. Camp
bell, record keeper, and so on through
the list of officers.
The general deputy supreme COM
mander, Mr.. Wright of this city, goes
to Carson City today in the interest
of the order, to be gone perhaps 80 or
60 days.
Sir Knight Taylor. the state deputy
of Idaho, is pushing the work in his
state, having instituted some six tents
within the last three months.
In Montana the order is making good
progress, and is rapidly gaining in
membership.
So far the state of Utah is in advance
