THE FIRST LODGE
Relic of Old Masonic Lodge at
Oregon City
UNDER CHARTER OF MISSOURI
Corner Stone of Lodge Building Dis
turbed to Make Improvements
Revives Historical Interest

The Oregon City Star gives the fol-
lowing account of the disturbance of
the corner stone and records of the
Oldest Masonic lodge in Oregon,
Multnomah No. L, at Oregon City,
which was founded in 1S47:
After laying for 20 years inside the
corner stone of the Masonic temple
at Sixth and Main streets, the records
of the lodge aud other data that was
placed in the corner stone at the time
of the dedication of the building,
were brought to light recently. The
reason for the corner stone being dis
turbed was on account of the new
front that has been put on the build.
ing.
At the time when the corner stone
was laid none ever thought that they
would live to see the papers disturbed.
For 20 years passsrsby have brushed
close to the records that would tell
some day, if there should happen to be
any disaster come to the city or
country, what the building was and
what it was uesd for. It would tell
of the mysteries of Masonry and the
history of the country.
But the demands of trade made it

GRAIN ON WATER ROUTE
Vessels OF Open River Transportation
Co. Finds Business Lively.

When the embargo of wheat declar-
ed by the o. r. & N. company, pend
ng the settlement of the grain hand
lers' strike, the only part of the East
ern Oregon and Washington wheat
crop going to Portland was handled
by the Open River transportation
company, the steam boats of which
company are operated to their fullest
capacity between the Cello portage
and upper Columbia points.
Daily round trips are being made by
the steamers Mountain Gem and Re-
lief of this company, which connect
with the steamers Charles r. Spencer
and one or two of the d. P. g. A. boats
at the west end of the portage.
The steamer Relief went down to
Cello with her first cargo Of wheat
from Horse Heaven and Hover. Re-
ports are that long strings of teams
from the Horse Heaven country are
coming into the town of Hover daily
and unloading grain on the docks
there for steamers plying between that
town ana the portage road.
Captain Frank j. Smith, superin-
tendent of water lines of the Open
River company, has returned from a
visit to the upper country and reports
everything moving lively IN that vi
cinity.
The Mountain Gem, the largest YES
sci on the upper Columbia waters,
leads the river feet in the grain move
ments this year. She is making two
round rips week between Hover and
Cello. It is 115 miles between the
two points.
The Relief, built by the Open
River Transportation company, of
Portland, expressly for handling the
grain from Hover, was launched at
Blalock' s last week.
The Mountain Gem, Carrying 11O
tons of grain along with her other
freight, has been unable to handle all
the grain offered and the coming of
the Relief will assist greatly in reliev-
ing The congestion at Hover. In case
of necessity the steamer w. r. Todd
is available for service and may be
called upon at any time.
This is Hover's first year as a wheat
shipping point and the results have
been most promising, SO much so
that next year it is predicted the town
will greatly exceed the record for the
present season.
This season the river company has
outdistanced the o. r. g. N. road, and
next season the North Bank line,
now building through Hover, will be
in the field as the third bidder for
business. The o. r. g. N. runs along
the water edge on the south bank the
Northern Pacific follows the water
line on the north shore; the steamers
ply between the banks.

necessary for the old building to be
torn apart and the corner stone had to
go with it. 1t was torn out and the
records given to ]. r. Humphreys
who put them in the vault of the bank
of Oregon City for safekeeping. In
their long burial water had reached
some of the papers and they were a
little discolored. But new box was
procured and the original papers
placed back as they were placed years
ago.
The corner stone was sealed up and
placed at the corner of the building
where it will remain until something
now not thought of disturbs it, or it
is taken out for some similar reason
such as the present.
The new resting place of the docu-
ments aud coins will not be exactly in
the corner of the building, but will be
under the pavement and people pass
ing near the front part of the building
will be within few inches of the
records, which, by the way, are her
metioally sealed.
1t was an idea of member of the
Masons to have some services at the
replacing Of the corner stone, but as it
was necessary for the work to be done
at once the plan was given up. The
present lodge, Multnomah No. 1, was
instituted in 1S47, receiving its charter
from the grand lodge of Missouri.
Worthy Grand Master Stroud was
the first master of the lodge. One of
the relics that the local Masons take
pride in is ap old horsehide trunk that
crossed the plains in 1847 in which
their charter came, aud which they
have now in their lodOa rooma

An official of that company, who
would only consent to be interviewed
on conditions that his name be not

Aside from the above mentioned
conditions. the mining conditions in
West Virginia are said to be excellent.
All Of the mines, whether union or

orders are coming in rapidly from all

great deal of activity in the pur-
chase and sale of coal lands. Buyers
are now going father from the rail-
roads and are paying greater prices
for land than was paid a few years
ago on the trunk lines.
Conditions in this State, regarding
coal lands, are rapidly changing. Dur

acres have been optioned. and unless
sales are made an effort will be made
to continue the life OF the options,
otherwise the land will be taken up
by those securing the options. Bare
