Lodge of Odd Fellows Dead

Gen. j. Frank Grant, Grand Secre-
tary and acknowledgement of the Sow
ereign Grand Lodge, Independent Or
der of Odd Fellows. died at 4.3O
O'Clock Wednesday morning at the
Union Protestant Infrmary. General
Grant has been a patient at that insti-
tuition since March 81, and for the
past two weeks had been in a state of
coma, from which he never awakened. il.
He was 81 years old and was we'll
known to Delaware Odd Fellow and
frequently a visitor to the Grand
Lodge.
General Grant had been i'll since
February 20, when he was seized with
an attack of gout. It was at first
thought that it was only case of rheu-
matte gout. and the removal of Gen
eral Grant from his home, 1925 Bolton
Street to hospital was not deemed
necessary. The patient grew steadily
worse however, and he was removed
to the Union Protestant Infrmary,
where he was operated on by DR.. J.
M. I. Finney. From the beginning
his condition was considered critical,
and when it was discovered that SER
ious kidney trouble had developed his
life was despaired of.
During his illness. General Grant
was visited by his two brothers-Dr.
H. Horace Grant, and DIR. W. Edward
Grant, of Kentucky and his sister,
Mrs. D. J. F. Strother of Welsh, W.
Va.
In accordance with his wish the fu
neral will be very quiet. 1t tool

the river in a row boat propelled by
two negroes. Reaching Blair's Wharf
after sundown, he walked three miles
through strange woods to the lumber
camp where his brother, W. L. Downs,

section. While there he purchased a
yoke OF oxen weighing about 1900 and
1900 pounds apiece for 800. Mr..
Downs says he was impressed by the
honesty of the colored folks there.
The natives told him that the bad

KY. General Grants old home, where
lnterment will be made in the family
burying ground. During the Generals
last illness letters of sympathy had been
received by his family from all parts
of the country. while number of mes
sages from Odd Fellows were received
yesterday.
General Grant was born in Ken
lucky in 1843, being the eldest of the
four sons of DIR. E. L. Grant. His
early life was spent on his fathers
farm, in Boone County. At the age
of q, Mr.. Grant gave up farming and
entered the mercantile business with
his next younger brother, becoming
the part owner of the principle store
in Petersburg, neighboring town of
about 1000 inhabitants. He did we'll
in business for a number of years. In
1871 he became interested in the good
work which was being done by a small
band of Odd Fellows in Petersburg,
known as Morning Star Lodge, No. 16
and he became member of this lodge
IN September of that year. It's pur-
pose; teachings and practices appealed
to him strongly and he at once became
active in the work of the order. In 1874
he was, sent to represent his lodge in
the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, then
meeting in Frankfort, the capital of
the State, and in that body he found
both work and friends, Ten years
later he filled the Office of Grand Mas
ter of the Grand Lodge of Kentucky,
and in 1899 became Grand Patriarch of
the Grand Encampment of the same
State.
General Grant first appeared in the
Sovereign Grand Lodge at its session
held in Los Angeles, Cal, in Septem-
Der, 1888, as a Grand Representative of
the Grand Lodge of Kentucky, and
with the exception of the year 1889,
when he was Grand Patriarch, he was
member of the supreme body contin-
uously until 1896 when he resigned the
position of Grand Representative to
accept the position of Grand Secre.
tary and Adjutant-General, to which
he was elected by the Sovereign Grand
Lodge at its session in Dallas, Texas
The holding of these offices made it
necessary for General Grant to move
to Baltimore, and he, with his family
went there in 1897.
During his term of office be has rem
dered important service to the order.
Through his work and that of Mr.. Ell
win j. Curry, who has been with him,
the Sovereign Grand Lodge has greatly
prospered. When his administration
began it was $4,000 in debt. Now it
is in an easy state of independence.
His loss will be felt by Odd Fellows
all over the world, aud it will be diff

Wheat for Arid Land.
Boise Statesman. J

The Colorado experiment station at
Fort Collins has been distributing
wheat for semi-arid lands. This va
riety is called the durum, and 1t Is
claimed that it will yield good crops
on lands of the kind designated. The
authorities of the experiment station
are so we'll satisfied on that point that
they purchased a large quantity OF
seed and distributed it all over the
state at the actual cost, from 25 TO 100
pounds being sent to each farmer sup
piled. The railway companies carried
the wheat free and through them it
has been placed in the hands OF the
farmers in every portion of the state.
AS a result the exeriment station will
learn what can be accomplished with
it under varying conditions presented
in that state.
The result of the comprehensive ex-
pertinent will be Of much interest to
the people Of Idaho. We are already
growing wheat on semi-arid lands
here. but it is possible that we can
learn something from Colorado that
will enable us to extend the crop over
a very large area. Hundreds OF thous-
ands of acres of land can be found
in the southern portion of the state
that is extremely fertile but which
cannot be irrigated Much of this lies
high enough to be we'll waterer during
the early part Of the season. and some
OF 1t is already being used for the
production Of grain. If Colorado can
teach us something on the subject we
may be able to cover the now barren
hills Of many of our counties with
wheat fields
