MeSsana Billiard, who has represent
ed the grand lodge of Montana in the
sovereign grand lodge for the past
thirteen years, in the course Of an ad-
dress at Butte last night, said:
1.-THE world of Odd Fellowship is at
present mourning the death Of J..
Frank Grant, who for the past eight
years has been the able and greatly be-
loved grand secretary of the sovereign
grand lodge. His death occurred at
Baltimore, Md, on April II. Except
for the sorrow caused by this bereave-
ment, all branches of the membership
Of The Independent Order Of Odd Eel
lows approached with much comfort
and satisfaction the seth anniversary
of the birth of American Odd Fellow
ship.
odd Fellows have abundant cause
to celebrate the anniversary of he or
der's birthday. At no time in the his
tory of the fraternity, since its first
lodge was instituted by five humble
men at Baltimore, on April 26, 1873,
has Odd Fellowship been more pros
porous thar it has been today. The
last official reports show that in
twelve months there was a net increase
of SO,236 in the membership OF subord-
mate lodges, 12,015 in the encamp-
ment branch and 35,643 in the Rebekah
degree. Allowing for Implications in
encampments and Rebekah degree
lodges, the net increase in the number
of persons belonging to the order was
1O4 ,O57. The total number of persons
belonging to the order was 1,151,42l.
This is the largest membership yield
ing allegiance to one central authority
to be found in the world among frater-
nal organizations.
"As may we'll be imagined, it re-
quires a vast sum of money to carry
on the routine work and provide for
the b~enefactions of an organization Of
