Strong efforts will be made at the
coming session of the Sovereign Grand
lodge of Odd Fellows, which meets in
Richmond, Va, during the week of
September II, to have the lodge meet
in this city in 1901. If these efforts
arc successful, It may be said at the
outset that the event will be the big
gest of it's kind in the history of
Scranton.
Ed. c. Deans, who Is the delegate
from the state encampment of Pa
triarches Militant to the Sovereign
Grand lodge, conferred yesterday with
q number of the leading odd Fellows
of the city and it was finally decided
to send out circular to each lodge
in the city, requesting that a delegate
be elected from each to attend a meet
ing to be held in Mr.. Deans Office on
September Z, for the purpose of con-
sidering ways and means for the cam
paign.
Mr.. Deans stated yesterday to a
Tribune man that there was every
reason to believe that IL Ia little en-
thusiasm were displayed, Scranton will
be selected as the place of meeting
In 1901. Last year, he said, those be-
hind the movement to secure the prize

ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS.

He said that Pennsylvania has one
eighth of the total membership of the
organization in the country and that
Sovereign Grand lodge session has
not been held within her borders since
1876, when one was held in Philadel-
phia This fact, alone, he says, will
undoubtedly have the effect of WIN
ming next years session for Scran-
ton.
The Sovereign Grand lodge may be
said to consist of the cream of Odd
Fellowship, inasmuch as it contains
only one, two, three or four represen-
in this country, and each province in
Canada. There are also nearly every
year representatives present from
Mexico ana the Central American re-
publics.
The total number OF delegates Is
generally about 300. all of whom are
the representative members of an or
ganization that has in its ranks some
of the brainiest and best men of the
country.
The delegates, however, always con-
stitute the very smallest part of the
crowd which assemblies at a Sovereign
| lodge session. There is alwoys a big
parade of the Patriarchs Militant, or
\ uniformed branch Of the organization,
and when the session Is held in an
| eastern city. the number of these who
are in the line is never less then 10000,
| and sometimes reaches as high as 49,

A BIG PROCESSION.

1t may readily be seen that such a
procession would surpass anything
ever witnessed in this city, both from
the point of size and from a spectacu-
lar viewpoint. as the uniform of the
ratriarchs Militant is especially elab-
crate and attractive, resembling
somewhat that of the knights Tenn
plar.
The expense entailed in entertaining
such an enormous throng is estimated
by Mr.. Deans as being somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, but he feels
confident that such a sum could be
easily raised. There is now no hall
or auditorium in the city capable Of
accommodating the delegates, inasmuch
as each must be provided with large
desk, and as there must be ample room
to accommodate the thousand or more
members of the organization, high in
the ranks, who generally attend the
sessions, and who are admitted to the
meetings.
Those having the scheme in charge,
however, have their eyes on the new
armory, which will be finished by that
time. and the drill hall OF which, they
believe, will be just the place. to con-
vene the Sovereign Grand lodge.

climatic ci,a1srs.

y q.
A writer from the lower Arkansas
valley regarding climatic Influences
says:
Great changes have taken place in
the climatic conditions of Bent county.
Twenty years ago rain after June
elapsed was startling occurrence.
In those days, when irrigation was al
most unknown here, our moisture
was from the SHOWS in winter and
rains in May and June. We then de-
pended entirely upon stock raising.
Our ranges were green from April
until August Then . yellowish cast
would gradually appear, like unto .
wheat field ripening for the scythe;
though not of hrittleish nature like
wheat straw. but soft and pliable like
well cured hay in q stack. 1t was
then that stock during August, Sep
tember, October, November and De-
cember, took on their loads of fat to
such an extent that January, Febru-
ary and March had to be uncommonly
severe, snow falling to unusual depth
and water holes freezing up, that
stock did not do well the entire year.
Range feeding the year around is
fast becoming thing of the past
owing to the range being kept green
by rains until frost, and it then drys
up and blows away or is rotted by
showers in the late fall. We are not
condemning irrigation. or regretting
that our once free pasture is turned
into homes for thousands of people
homes that are second to none in the
known world We predict for this
valley, if we can judge the future by
the past, that in twenty years more
this will be one of the most season
able sections in the moistened
by rains. these great irrigating canals
can be used for drainage purposes
and the water manipulation can send
the water of the river down below to
make another paradise inhabited with
farmers. flies and mosquitoes
