To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and
Brethren OF Hiram Lodge, No. q, f. & A,
NJ: Y our committee on memorial and obitu.
airy OF our late brother, DR.. John Boswell, most
respectfully report as follows:
By the death of our dearly beloved brother,
we are again reminded that our stay in this
world Is but feeting one, a. that one by
one we are called upon to sever the ties that
bind US to our loved ones here, and be pre-
pared for our eternal home IN the temple with
our Supreme Grand Master
We, who knew our departed brother, in the
different stations that he was called upon to
I'LL IN our lodge, and especially as our chap
lain, will cherish his name and memory as one
OF our most priceless treasures He was al
ways ready with kindly words of wisdom and
counsel, with warm, genial and kindly ma.
ture.
His entire life was that of a consistent
Christian, always ready to console the sorrow
ing, and help upbuild his fellow man All
Masons look up with generation to his noble
life, and mourn his departure with sincere re-
greet; but, while we have lost his presence
amongst us in this earth, we can initiate his
many virtues, and be ever reminded that our
brother is with us still in spirit
While we as MasOns feel deeply the loss of
our brother we know that those that were
bound to him by the greater and more loving
ties OF kindred, suffer the great loss more
keenly, we can Onl y tender to them our deep
sympathy. and offer to them the consolation
that he whom we all loved is now resting ON
the cares and troubles of this world and is
now enjoying communion with his Master in
the celestial home above. Respectfully sub
mitted-DavId II. Shaw, r. L. Banker, j. ohm

WASHINGTON WHEAT.
A Great Deal Of it Being Shipped
TO the East

The surprising statement was made u
few days ago by heavy Chicago wheat
operator that there were 1000 900
OF Washington white wheat" in store
in puluth owned by his firm, says the
Tacoma Ledger This statement was
made in explanation OF a report of the
amount OF wheat held in storage at that
point. The designation of Washington
white wheat is a common one and is
applied indiscriminately to the Oregon,
Washington and Idaho product to dis
tinguish it from the red wheat of the
states further east.
The announcement that million
bushels of Washington wheat was held
at Duluth would not be surprising to
local grain buyers, but that this amount
was owned by one firm or one operator
was an astonishing revelation, and the
inference is drawn that eastern wheat
buyers have purchased far more heavily
of the Washington product than had
been believed. The amount of wheat
raised in the country tributary to this
port which has gone east could not be
definitely estimated, but it is probably
far in excess Of a million bushels
The plan has been advanced by a New
York wheat buyer to purchase in the
Washington market for shipment to the
Atlantic seabOard. Plans for the opera
lions OF the New York buyer have not
yet been fully matured, but, unless
wheat advances sharply it is probable
he will enter the market. Coast export
eTs could, if charter rates go down,
easily drive the easterners out OF the
market, but with stiff charter rates pre-
vailiDg they could not bid against the
figure he proposes to offer.
It Is proposed to purchase Washing
ton wheat and ship it TO Duluth. The
wheat would be held in storage at that
point and shipped, when lake navigation
opens, by water route to the Atlantic
seaboaTd, The heavy railroad charges
from the head OF the lakes to New York
could be avoided in this manner, and it
is believed the scheme is feasible.
There Is prospect, local grain dealers
believe, OF better prices on the coast
which will prevent further operation of
Eastern buyers in this market, Charter
rates have shown gu inclination to
weaken and have dropped several points.
This is certain to result in bringing a
number OF vessels here, seeking and to
afford exporters an opportunity to make
the charters they desire. Wheat under
such circumstances, would begin to
move more freely.
Ii charters weaken and carriers become
more plentiful a corresponding increase
in the prices paid to the growers is GER
tain. An advance of ) cents, it ia be-
iieved, would effectuaIly bar eastern ex-
pOrters, especially as the eastern mar
ket is not active at present. The local
market, though, shows little indication
OF advancing.
1t is estimated that there are nearly
two and half million bushels of wheat
in store at Tacoma. This includes
about 800 cars standing on the tracks
in the local yards This number was in
creased somewhat by yesterdays re-
ceipts, and the shipments to this point
are increasing, but the condition of the
market and charter rates do not indi-
cate any heavy shipments for some time.

Offerings at the Opera House Dur
ing December,


On December 10th the Florence HYDE
Jenckes Concert Company will give one
OF their high class concerts This com
pany includes some of the best talent in
that line of work, and as we have had
nothing OF the kind, we bespeak a full
house for them. The Boston Record
says: mime. Florence Hyde ,Jenckes is
recognized as one OF the leading oratOrio
and concert singers of today. Her
voice, a pure mezzO dramatic soprano of
wide range and full of distinct carving
power, raises her at once to the rank of
thorough artist. Personally Nine.
Jenckes is magnetic; her stage presence
is charming, and she dresses with ex-
cel!ent taste"
The D'Artot, Paris, France, says:
"Mme. Jenckes' diction is remarkable.
alike in English and French, for its
purity and elegance"
On Dec. 22nd we will have John W.
Isham's best of all colOred shows king
'Rastus." This company includes some
OF the most noted cOlOred performers in
this country, and the press is unanimous
in it's praise of the performance The
celebrated Billy Kersands is with the
show, and will be cast as the king.
On December 9th we have Delcher &
Hennessy' company in an entire new
makeup of Browns in Town" This
will be remembered as being here last
December, and OF giving such universal
satisfaction. This we consider to be
one of the best companies it has been
our lot to witness, and like last season,
the performance will be interspersed With
up to date speclalties including that
prime little favOrite, Jessie May Hall.

BubOniC Horror Said to Be Rag
ing at That Place.

SAN FRANCISCO CAL, Dec 2S.-The
army transports Centennial and New
port, which arrived here last night
from Manila, via Honolulu, bring the
startling news that the bubonic plague
is raging in the capital city of the
Hawailn islands. 1t is understood that
the scourge was brought into Honolu-
la by vessels from one of the infected
ports Of China.
The news of this breaking out of the
plague in Honolulu brought here by
the transport Centennial has created
some alarM among the state and city
health officials, and every precaution
is taken TO prevent possible admis
sion of the disease into the city.
The transports Cen tennial and New
port, " hich arrived last night, and the
Tartar, which arrived from Manila to
day, are now at the quarantine station
undergoing fumIgatlon and will be de-
tanned at Angel Island for some time.
The steamer Gallo is due here tomor-
row from the orient via Honolulu and
will be held at quarantine until all
danger is passed.
News from reliable sources in the
orient is to the effect that the disease is
prevalent in China and Japan to an un-
usual extent and that the officers at
Mani!1 have taken precautions to pre-
vent the plague from getting a footing
thereA News from Bombay is to the eff
feet that the plague is rampant in India,
and in view of these onditions, the au-
thorities 10 this city and every port on
the Pacific coast will take strenuous
recautons to prevent the intr due ion
of the bubonlc plague on this coast.

A SCENE OF DESOLATION.
EARTHQUAKE WROUGHT HAVOC IN
CALIFORNIA TOWN.
Great Damage Was Done to All Kinds of
Buildings and Several People
We're Killed,

San Jaclnto, the California town
which was visited by a destructive
earthquake Christmas morning, IS de-
scribed by the dispatches as scene of
desolation.
The people are beginning to recover
from their terror, and some estimates
of the damage wrought can now be
made.
near there dance had been held the
night before and large quantities of
whiskey were Consumed by the In
dians, most of theio beng IN a drunk
eD stupor before the shock came. A
number of squaws had huddled togeth-
err in an old adobe building and were
sleeping off the effects of the liquor.
The heavy walls fell in upon them.
Six were killed outright and two died
later, while score more are badly in
Jured. Those killed were horribly
crushed.
Main street presents a sad appear
ance. 1t is impossible to walk along
the sidewalks because of the heaps of
debris and overhanglng walls. Two.
story brick buildings were RACED with
thousands worth of merchandise bur-
led underneath. There is not busl-
ness house in town but has suffered.
Electric wires are down and some of
the power houses have fallen in. The
walls of the county hOsDital erected
recently at cost of $4,000, are badly
damaged. at Hemet the hotel was
damaged to the extent of $4,000;
Bingham's -four mill $1,000, and the
walls of numerous stores were badly
