schools-WILL have them-and are
willing to pay for them. Out with
the cowardly notion that the progress
and advancement of education, so
ciety and civilization is dependent
upon h return of a pittance of the
spoils of the robber business which
earns nothing and exists only as a
parasite and destroyer.
He was glad to greet the man whom
the Odd Fellows mad chosen as ora
tor of h day, both as a minister
and as a man who had taken a prom
inent part in cleaning out the dens
of vice in Roswell.
The special music of the service
was finely rendered and appropriate,
and we quote a stanza as character
istic:
From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness
down,
And win the we'll fought day."
After the church service, the Odd
Fellows marched to the lodge room,
where Col. d. G.. Grantham made a
brief talk in which the word dinner
was prominent. To avoid crowding,
some were sen to the Schlitz, some
to the Texas Hotel, some to the Le-
gal Tender restaurant, and elsewhere,
and all the visitors were told tt pay
for nothing. 1t was the same at sup
per time.
The ceremony of laying the corner
stone occurred at three O'Clock in the
afternoon. The Roswell band in the
meantime had given a brief concert
in IRON OF the Schlitz Hotel and an
immense assemblage mad gathered.
The new temple is adjacent to the
Schlitz, on Mermod street, directly
across the street south rom the court
house. The structure, already par
TALLY completed, is of brick, 50x90
feet, and will be two stories high.
There will be two store rooms on the
ground floor, and the lodge nall with
ante-rooms, wardrobe, ETC., will occu
Ply h entire upper story. The esti.
mated cost of the building is $1,000.
Eddy Lodge No. 81 has IS members,
and there must be some good bust
ness men among them, for the mon
ey to build the new temple was &C
cumulated from an original invest
ment of six hundred dollars in Carls-
bad real estate. 1t is figured, too,
that the store rooms of the new
building will rent for SIS each, so
that the temple is not being built
merely for show. By the way, the Ma
sons If Carlsbad have also recently
finished a fine temple facing on the
court house square on the east.
In the ceremony of laying the cor
ner stone, Grand Master iOgle and
Grand Marshal Bearup acted in the
positions which they hold in the Ter
ritorial Grand Lodge. The other mem
bers acting as such officers for the
day only. were: J.. w. Armstrong, of
Carlsbad. Deputy Grand Master; DR..
C. M. Yater, of Roswell, Grand War
den; Major Marx Howell, Roswell,
Grand T~reaSdrer; j. B. Leck, of
Carlsbad, Grand Secretary; Rev. Mr..
Gage, OF Artesia, Grand Chaplain.
With the prescribed ceremonies,
the following articles were deposited
in the box, which may be uncovered

being torn down to make room for a

Washington was a strong man and a
famous wrestler. He was never
thrown, which meant much, for wres-
ting was favorite amusement with
yirginians, many of whom were as
nearly invincible as the ancient Greeks.
Lincoln, too, could boast classic excel

ington's prowess was first brought to

The hour for the ceremony arrives,
and at the right moment the medicine

takes a seat in the opening of the

warriors and chiefs arrange them

rank. The ceremonial pipe is then filled

then makes an address, going over the

He concludes with prayer for the
continuance of this favor.
The great moment has arrived. With
impressive solemnity the medicine man
thrusts the sacred arrow into the sand,
