The officials of this gigantic
scheme arranged for two eXcur-

after which Jos. F.. Smith placed
in position the corner stone )
the second sugar factory IN the
state of Idaho.
Governor Morrison announced
that there was receptacle in
the corner stone where tho-e
who desired might place mo-
mentOeS.
Governor Wells of Utah was
to have accompanied the party
but at the last moment he was
detained in Salt Lake City.
The city council of ST. An
thony attended the exercises in
body and a set of resolutions
were offered by Mayor Jamison
protesting against the action Of
State Auditor Turner in refusing
to issue a warrant for the first
bounty due the first Idaho sugar
factory under the law Of the
Idaho legislature.
STATE AUDITOR CRITICISED.
Naturally the main topic of
conversation among all classes,
irrespective of their connection
with the sugar factory, was the
action of State Auditor Turner
of Boise in declining to issue
warrant for the payment of the
first bounty due the Idaho Sugar
company under the law. In not
single case could a man be
! found who was prepared to en-
dorse the position taken by the
auditor, all were unanimous
against the action and outspoken.
1t was the sentiment of the other
Idaho officials, WHO were present,
that it was an act of bad faith
after the governor and legis-
lature had passed the measure.
1t was the sentiment of all re-
gardless of politics that the state
of Idaho could not afford to
repudiate the bounty, and even
if such an action were seriously
: contemplated, that it would be
bad policy to enforce it, as it
would have the effect of soaring
) away capital seeking to inves
, in the state.

Jonas Brown was the second grand
master, elected first in 1868, and once
again since that time.
He has been the prelate of the com
mandery in Boise for more than ten
years and has held high offices in the
chapter also. He is at present the vice
president of the Masonic Veteran associa
| tion of The Pacific coast for the state of

Mr. Browns entire Masonic career
has been an illustrous one, and be is
