SCORES OF LOCAL NIMRODS TOOK
TO THE WHEAT FIELDS
TODAY.
Slaughter Of Prairie Chickens and the
Toothsome Grouse Was Begun
in WaIIa Walla County.


The season when grouse and prairie
chickens may be killed in limited guam
titles opened today and several score
of Walla Walla sportsmen were hit
ting the trail bright and early this
morning for favorite wheat fields or
points in the mountains where grouse
are known to be plentiful. Several
nimrods left the city before daylight
this morning for points in the Eureka
Flat country where prairie chickens
are said to be so thick that harvest
hands have to wear a patent protector
to keep the birds from eating them up.
This is the story that comes from fiat
formers, but the truth probably is that
the hunter will tramp more miles than
he will get birds during the course of
a days hunting trip. Grouse are said
to be plentiful this year in the vicinity
of Russell Springs, back of Pixies peak,
and also along the breaks of Blalock
mountain, although the latter place is
almost inaccessible except to the
hunter who has plenty of time on his
hands to make the trip over the rug
ged country.
Walla Walla sportsmen are grum-
bling at the law being enforced by
the Oregon game wardens compelling
non-residents to purchase hunters Ii
censes at $40 per year, while the ma
tiyes are allowed to hunt at their own
sweet will at a cost of but 81 a year.
Walla Walla sports say that the Una
tilla county game wardens, especially
have a nasty way of cutting up wnen
they find a nonresident with a can
nom and without hunters license.

OF articles deposited were read by
Charles S. Buffum, acting grand secre-
tary.
Senator Ankeny Welded TroweI.
Immediately after the tin box was
safely deposited Senator Ankeny
grasped a trowel and spread a thin
coating of mortar over the box The
senator then gave way to an expert
enced mortar layer who proceeded to
put the cementing layer on with
mathematical precision. The stone
was then lowered and plumbed. The
ancient custom of pouring Oil, corn
and wine on the stone by the acting
officers followed. Mayor Gilbert Hunt,
selected to make the address Of the
day, followed and said in part:
Mayor Hunts Address.
THE principles taught by the order
of Free Masonry came into existence
when mankind first commenced to
consider the rights of his brother;
when virtue was first commended AMI
vice condemned; when the. widow and
orphan, the weak and helpless, were
protected and provided for; when ev-
erything that is good was first
brought to the light; then the princi-
Piles as taught by Free Masons were
first understood and engraved on the
hearts of mankind
The science of mathematics mas al
ways existed, but it does us no good
unless understood and demonstrated,
and we can demonstrate it just SO far
as we understand it. 1t is all a matter
of education. Step by step we receive
our education; we work out our lesser
i, problems before we grasp the greater.
Thus it is with Masonry. Little by
little we grasp the beauty and grand
eur of it's great principles. To be
lessons taught; we are admonished to
lift up the fallen, to give aid to the
widows and orphans, to be just, to be
charitable and to be true.
The true child of Masonry today
will unfold and develop as the rose un-
til ne reaches the bloom Of maturity,
becoming a Free mason in the larger
sense of the word; credit to himself
and an honor to mankind.
Free Masonry stands alone and
above all other fraternal orders: it has

,,at simple, ceremonies at 9 o'clock this
ming in the presence Of 200 Ma
ao,,s members of the two Masonic
,.soas of Walla Walla and a large
oo,bering of private citizens. The
leather for the laying of the stone,
which marks an epoch in Free Mason
N waIla Walla, was ideal. The sun
sbone brightly through a rift in the
clouds and a cool breeze swept across
tho foundation floor which was util-
ize1 for the ceremonies.
The Masons participating assembled
Of Masonic hall at S:45 and marched in
q body to the site where large crowd
had already assembled. When tine
building was reached open rank was
formed to allow the grand officers, led
nv Senator Ankeny, acting as past
grand master for the state of WASH
ington. TO pass through. The Ma
sons wore their regalia. Upon the
ground floor the Masons formed in a
huge semi-circle and DR.. Y. C. Bla-
lock acting as deputy grand marshal,
formally made the request of Sem
ator Ankeny to announce the purpose
of the gathering. This was followed by
invocation by Rev. Morton Gregory,

stood the test of time; nation after
nation has arisen, passed to the zenith
of its glory, declined and passed away
soon to be forgotten. Free Masonry
however. still exists, stronger today
than ever before, welding an influence
for good that reaches from the north
to the south. from the east to the west;
grand and noble order.
I'VE know not the length OF time ope-
rative Masonry has been practlced.
Some claim that it existed at the time
of King Solomon, and that the order
originated at that time; but this we do
know, that King Solomon was Ma
son in the greatest meaning of the
word, because history informs us that
the temple he built mas never been
equalled nor excelled during all the
ees before or since his time, and ira
dition informs us that neither envy,
,discord nor confusion existed among
the thousands of craftsmen; perfect
harmony prevailed. We are also in
formed that the work was so accurate
ly planned and each stone and timber
so perfectly wrought that when all
were assembled together the building
was so perfect and SO complete that 1t
had more the appearance of being the
handiwork of the great artificer of the
universe, rather than the work of hui
man hands.
"Masons are taught that their first
duty is to God. their next to tnelr
country then to their neighbor, and
lastly to themselves. All over the land
temples are being erected by the Ma
sonic order-appropriate places in
which to serve God; in which to meet
in social intercourse and carry on the
work of the different Masonic orders.
Today we are making history in the
LAYING of this corner stone; future
generations will look back and COM
mend our work. Many years have the
Masons of Walla Walla desired tenn
plea suitable home for their own
We need not dwell on the many causes
that delayed the work but shall all
rejoice in the final fruitiOn Of ardent
desire. May the order of Free and Ac.
cepted Masonry from this day take on
new life, new hopes, new aspirations;
may the good work and deeds of the
Masonic order continue, expand and
develop until the whole world shall
say Amen
Following Mayor Hunts address,
Rev. Morton Gregory said the benedic-
ton and the ceremonies were over.

Democracy, with it's entailed mixing
of all classes, public schooling with
its very attainable level of culture and
other attendant benefits, has this
evil-that they spread broadcast a
great deal of common sense that fits
men for concerted action under a
leader, but robs them of individuality
When common sense preserves us from
cranks, fools and cheats, it is good
thing, but when it cuts us off from
thinkers of distinction it is a bad
thing.

A PLACE OF ENDuRlNe~cH
Physical Features of the Everglades
Of Beauty Beyond Description.

PHYSICAL Features OF the Everglades
Of a Beauty Beyond Description.
No description of the physical fea-
l4ures of the Everglades can possibly
convey any true idea of their beauty
and their charm. Both are indescrib-
able and indefnable, yet the one is as
clear as the sunlight which brings 1t
into view. the other as keen as the
touch of an awakening love. Both
charm and beauty blend in strange,
sweet sense Of mystery, which even
one least responsive to this new mood
of nature cannot possibly escape. AS
far as the vision can compass, grasses
of gold wave over fields of silver,
reaching away to sky line of cobalt
blue. Green islands. SO dream-like
that they seem to float in the tremu-
lous sea of sleep just ready to wax
en-, open arms of welcome to their
enchanting shadows. Across the
matchless blue of a summer sky the
children of the storm chase each 9TH
er IN scudding lusters of feathery
cloud; but they are only children at
play, for at their WORST they break
into soft showers which seem to have
no purpose save to make broken bits
of rainbow and to add little to the
sum of the life that is everywhere.
For life is everywhere in this enchant-
ed region, where earth and water and
air, plant and tree and sky, all seem
to culver and throb with it's birth
throe. The edge of an active crater
compels the thought of the suppress
ed anguish of creating nature; the
smoking sea at early dawn suggests
the menace of death held in the leash
of life, the desert and the prairie tell
of life which, though it has passed,
still fingers on the edges Of it's old
arena. But here, in the lake of mys-
terry, with it's islands of enchantment
and it's untold story, life is alive.
Over it all and through it broods
tnai; informing spirit of Che. essential
life which is the heart of all things.
Here one pardons-eVen applauds-
the Spaniard, who so often gave the
sacred name to the unhallowed OBJ
ject Here he. was not guilty. Here,
mastered by the charm and beauty,
and filled by the. overwhelming, sub
tie life of it, he whispered, "Laguno
del Espiritu Santo," christening the
Caloosa's Lake of the Sweet Water
by its new name, "the Lake of the
Holy Spirit. From "The Everglades

but there was really no place for an

Dorothy but to throw herself on the
