 Golden Rule Lodge has arranged for complimentary social to be given on the evening of the 9th of June.
 Last Tuesday Empire Lodge consol- dated with Pacific Lodge, and in the fu- ture the two will be known by the name of the latter This was done in the pres ence of number of members of the or der and of the grand officers. Grand Pro tector Mrs. L. J. Wheelock commended the consolidation as a move in the light direction, and she said there was no doubt in her mind that the increaseu membership of the Pacific would instill new life into the lodge and arouse the members to renewed activity. Grand Sec retary H. w. Quitzow followed in very interesting address and expressed the opinion that the consolidation, which il- lustrated that in union there is strength, would result in the upbuilding of the lodge, which is part of, as he said, 'one of the best of all fraternal orders" Mrs. Francis ClOdi, the retiring protector of Empire Lodge, was, by the grand pro tector, on behalf of the members of Elm pire Council, presented fine jewel ex- pressive of their admiration of her.
