EASTERN STAR CHAPTER
Celebrates Its First Meeting in New
Masonic Hall With Banquet at
Which Masons are Guests.

Canyon City Chapter, order of
Eastern Star, celebrated its first
meetingin the new brick Masonic
Hall with abanquet the spread of
which, in quality, variety and the
grace with which it was served,
has not been surpassed, if equal
ed, by any in the past history of
the town. All Masons were in
vited guests and right royalty
were those present entertained.
A table richly spread in regal mode.
With dishes piled, and meats OF no.
blest sort,
Red salmon from the great Column

And bass from native streams:
Oh fowls, the chief. our own Thanks

Then salads, cakes and pies;
Ambrosia finished the cOurses-bar

But, why tell all the tale.
Marcellus Jared no better in his mar
bic halls:
Than we-the guests OF this occasion.
And we-the guests. were not
slow in giving our kind hostesses
evidence Of our thorough appre-
citation of their generous and
thoughtful consideration. Some
of our Masonic sisters, viewing
the brethren at the table. NAV
have applied to them. the breth-
rem in feasting, the poetic verse:
Their various cares in one great
point combine.
The business of their lives. that is
to dine"
1t was not all feasting, howev-

ated six new members.
The ladies of the Eastern Star
are doing noble work: The News
is not talking of feasting the
brethren now, but of business.
and with the removalin our beau

be even greater than before.
That their good deeds may con-
tinue and that the choicest bless

upon them is the prayer of every
true Mason.

statistician at New York was re-

afternoon to push the market up

market to these low estimates is be-
coming greater as they continue to
follow each other.
Among the reports current was
one to the effect that Mr.. Price has
closed out his short holdings and
taken the long side. Bulls are much
more numerous than week ago and
it is reported that pool has been
formed to run in the uncovered

Liverpool was due to come 6 to 9

CLARK & CO.'S COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-(SpeciaD
A complete change of sentiment seems
to have come over the market, trad
ers who have been persistent bears
now buying for an investment on a
scale down, and predicting ultimate
ly higher prices for the South's great
product.
News from the spot situation re-
veals a better feeling and buyers who
have been idle for the past month
are now eager for cotton and paying
from 3-16 to IA above the market
price.
Statistically the position of cotton
is gradually but surely growing
stronger and many shrewd operators
are predicting that after the issu-
ance of the government report the
market will show a marked inn
provement Liverpool still con-
tinues to look upon the situation on
this side with disfavor and cables say
that spinners have ample supplies
for some time to come. However,
restored confidence in the financial
situation on this side will at once
give the market a strong bullish
undertone and once the south enters
the market on the bull side there will
be a different light thrown upon the
situation. The market will likely
continue purely professional until af-
ter the government report is out of
the way.
