City Masons Contemplating
Renting Quarters In New
fremont Building
COMMITTEE TO SECURE PLANS
Meeting of the Masonic Temple Asso.
citation Held Wednesday Evening
to Consider the ACCESSIBILITY of New
ouarters-PIans to Be Submitted to
fremont Block Syndicate.

From the present indications 1t APP
pears as tho the Masons of the city
would decide to rent quarters in the
new fremont Block, which is to be
erected during the present season by
a syndicate composed of local capital
lists. A meeting of the Masonic Temple
Association was held Wednesday night,
and if the Masonic bodies of the city
decide to take the quarters in the new
building, a third story will be built to
accommodate them.
AT a meeting of the temple associa-
ton Wednesday evening, a committee
composed of Byron Webster, Captain
c. II. Shaw, and |. T. Forbes was APP
pointed by the directors to have plans
for the rooms drawn, so that they may
be submitted to the syndicate and from
them the basis of rental for term of
years may be determined. There Is
some talk of the Masonic bodies taking
stock in the new building, when it is
put on the market, taking enough to
build third and fourth story. This
does not meet with general approval,
however. AS soon as the plans are
drawn they will be submitted to the
different Masonic bodies for either ac-
ceptance or rejection.
The idea of the Masonic Temple AS
ISOLATION to erect building Of its own
has been abandoned owing to the high
price of material and the uncertainty
of securing labor at right prices. AS
the lease on the present rooms occupied
by the Masonic bodies expires Jan. 1,
it is necessary to take some action, and
1t is thought that the present move
ment will result most advantageously
for all concerned.
The company which will build the
fremont Block will be incorporated
before many days, and work of secur
ing plans for the building begun. 1t
will be two stories at any rate, with
12O foot frontage. If the Masons decide
to rent quarters the building will be
made three stories high, and should
some other lodge or society decide on
apartments fourth story will be
added,

Tense and it is understood that the lat

This applies to some of the parti-

"hangman's" session Of the legisla-

I'll we see what mistakes have been
made and what mischief wrought
The brevity Of its session was due
to the promise wrung from its mem

virtue.
It will be found that no session ev.

No virtue in that
It restored a defective taxation law
under which taxes come due when the
people are least able to pay, and
many farmers are forced to the banks
to borrow money to pay taxes. No
virtue in that.
It trifed with the nat salary, and
deliberately talked II to death on pre-.
tense of wanting to consider It. That
was not a cardinal virtue to get to
heaven on.
II allowed the gambling bill to be
stolen, and ninety men sat with fear
and trembling for twelve hours, lest
some one would call attention to what
nearly all the members knew had
happened. How virtuous!
The shippers Of the state asked re.
lief from car shortage (that has
caused Western Oregon to lose hun,
dreds of thousands of dollars) and
from increased freight rates that kill
the sawmill business.
Under the influence of a powerful
corporation lobby the members were
whipped into voting against their con.

THE MEN WHO DON'T ADVERTISE

There are active, would-be bust.
ness men who don't believe in adver.
tising. and turn down the newspaper
solicitors with contempt
Such men overlook the fact that the
newspaper to live must be in touch
with the living, vital mass Of the com.
munity.
1t is themselves who, in their all.
wise contempt for the newspapers are
getting out of touch with the general
public.
Probably all their original success
was due to the fact that they, by
some hook or crook, we're well ad.
vertised.
Having succeeded by this very
means they make the mistake of des.
pising and kicking from under their
feet the ladder by which they climbed
to success.
We have observed many such per.
sons in twenty-five years Of newspaper
work, and they all end with as great
failure as their beginning was
marked by success.
