and A. NJ, had evidently been prepar-
ing for the occasion for some time, and
everything went off in excellent shape
according to the arrangements. The
officers of the grand lodge of the state
were present, as were many members
from different parts Of the state; The
Dalles sending solid delegation of so.
After the the dedicatory ceremonies in
the lodge room, the lodge adjourned
from labor to refreshments at the Mt.

1885, was responded to by its Worship
full Master, A. N. Rahm. The following
were his remarks:
"Mr. Toast Master and Breth-
rem: On behalf of Hood River
lodge welcome the brethren who are
our guests here tonight. 1t is our sin
cere wish and hope that whenever oppor-
tunity offers you will again exhibit that
brotherly feeling which prompted you to
meet with us here tonight; and, again
on behalf OF Hood River lodge, | pledge
you that you shall receive most cordial
and sincere welcome. From remarks
passed here tonight an idea occurred to
me, which, ii | may detain your kind
attention a few brief moments, / will at
tempt to explain. Brethren, and now
rem of Hood River lodge, we have,
all of us, more or less, directly or indi-
rectly, labored on our temple for more
than seven months, honestly toiled, en-
couraged and buoyed up by the pros
pect that when the temple was COM
pleted we should receive our reward.
Behold the temple is complete and the
reward is ours. Brethren, while it is proper
meet that we rejoice here tonight, let us
| alwayskeepthe memory OF him green
whose munificence, love and right con-
ception of Masonry have enabled us to
carry out the wishes that have been up
permost in the mind OF every brother of
Hood River lodge, No. los, since its insti-
tuition, namely, home Of our own.
While our temple is dedicated to the
great patrons of Masonry, the holy SITS.
John, submit to you the proposition
that we dedicate this occasion, this, the
eleventh day of November, now and for
evermore to the memory of our late
brother Tieman, and propose that the
eleventh day of November be set aside
and designated on the calendar of Hood
River lodge'No. 105, Ancient, Free and
Accepted Masons, as Tieman day."
Rev. Polling was called upon for song
and responded by singing ''ln Memory
of Home;" Clarence Gilbert with his
violin, j. Bunnell on cornett and Miss
Lizzie Roberts at the piano, furnished
| the instrumental music for the evening
Hon. +, L. Smith responded to the
toast Past Masters of Hood River. The
| following communication from the sick
bed of E. E. Savage was read by Toast
Master Brosius:
Brethren and fellows: regret very
much my inability to be with you in
body, as | am in spirit. The dedication
of one individual. Born nearly 100
years ago, in Denmark, of that strong
and hearty ancestry which traces its
ancestry back to Thor, the Thunderer,
following the inclination and family
traits for years, he early followed the
sea. When Commodore Perry battered
open the ports OF Japan to the commerce
of the world, he was one of the hardy
band of sailors that did yoeman service
and helped to show to the world the in
vine BILE spirit of the American marine.
Later, he became, and assumed the
duties of an American citizen following
more peaceable pursuits than those OF
the art of war, he settled in Hood River
valley, and engaged in the vocation OF
agriculture. 1t was here that he be-
came Mason. That event marked an
epoch in bis history for Masonry be-
came to him a'religion. He delighted
to read and study into the principles
and lessons OF the order and converse
with his brethren regarding the beauti-
full tenets OF the institution. When he
felt that his DAYS were drawing to o
close, being without kith or kin, he
sought out the best purpose TO which he
might devote the little possessions he
had accumulated. The result is the
neat and tasty hall this evening dedicat-
ed, truly home for the Masons of Hood
River valley. Brethren, let us, stand
ing, and in silence, drink to the memo
ry of Andrew Harry Tieman."
II was an impressive scene to see the
members rise and silently pay tribute to
the memory of their late lamented
brother, A. I'll. Tieman. Rev ]. L.
Hershner was called upon to speak Of
the sick and absent members, +. +.
Savage and A. p. Bateham, which he
did, feelingly showing their worth as
brothers in the lodge and as citizens
and the deep interest they had taken in
the work OF erecting Tieman temple and
