GREAT GROWTH OF
H|BERNIAN SOCIETY

Among the many fraternal socities
in this city that have made marked
progress during the year that has just
passed il is estimated that the An
cient Order Of Hibernians occupies a
position Of foremost prominence.
One year ago there was in Spokane
only one branch of the great Irish
organization and the outlook of the
future at that time did not in any
way give promise of the wonderful
growth which was destined to take
place within the short space Of a
twelvemonth.
There are now three lodges of the
order in existence here. one OF which
is II ladies' auxiliary that numbers
among its members almost the entire
Irish Catholic population IN the city.

here with a new invention in the

In order to prevent this it is de-
signed to put in a system something
like the police have in all large cities,
where every patrolman is obliged to
ring up and report by telephone or
signal to the central headquarters,
where record is kept of the calls.
