A PYTHIAN HISTORY
CHAPTER THAT ADoRNS LODGE

B0URQUIN'S SPLENDID SPEECH
Glowing Tribute Paid the Men Who
We're the Builders Of the Pythian
Castle Dedicated Today-His-
tory of the Building.

At the dedication of the new Pythlan
Castle this afternoon, George NJ Bour-
uuin spoke on the history of the Pythlan
Castle, His brilliant address was re-
eume of the work done by the knights
of Pythas in projecting and carrying to
successful completion, the work OF max
ing for Butte the finest fraternal homo
in the Northwest. Mr.. Bourquin's ad-
dress was as follows:
1t is the desire of the committee that
should relate somewhat of the his
tory Of this Pythian castle. But It's
erection is so recent an event ana SO
speedily accomplished that its real his
tory is vet to be unfolded by the future
and at the present time there Is niue
can be said aside from a relation of the
inception of the idea, its crystalizatlon
into form, then development of the
scheme and the work of these-the COM
mittees and others, whose labors have
eliminated in this magnificent structure.
Before this hail was builded. the
Tythian lodges of Butte had long agitat-
ed the project of a home of their own.
II was a subject of discussion for years.
Finally their increase in numbers and
strength of membership, together with
Inadequate and immodern accommoda-
tons in rented halls, turned discussion
and agitation into decision and action.
Perhaps the one thing more than any
other that determined building at this
time was the suddenly presented oppor-
tunity to acquire suitable building site
a. an extremely low figure; this lot on
which this building stands For that
thanks are due ito Brother Geo. c.
Fitschen. And thus it came about
Brother Fitschen is very devoted to our
order and is always watchful for it's ad-
vantage In 1899 he secured an option
to purchase this lot at figure that
made it a bargain, and he offered the
option to the Pythian lodges. Brother
Fitschen made considerable money
sacrifice in this. but such benefits to
our order have often been conferred by
him. He may rest assured they will
never be benefits forgot"
When the option was offered them.
the lodges appointed committees to in
yestigate and report. The report was
favorable and it was decided to pur-
chase the lot and build a wall.
It was found that to form a corpora
ton would facilitate the business in
