had never written her except once in

And. thinking or these things, he
shut the book wearily and lay back In
the shadow of the faded curtain, clos

where an impromptu feast was spread
in honor Of Brother ]. W. Colby, one
of the old members, who leaves next
week for Vancouver. Wash. Brother
Colby made q short but earnest speech
appropriate to the occasion aud all
pesent joined in wishing him all
sorts of good fortune in his new
home. Several visiting brothers were
present aud spoke, but .the speech Of
the evening was made .bv Brother
Coutant, late arrival in our city.
He is an old wheel horse in the order,
and the talk h gave us warmed the
cookies Of our heart and made every
one present GLAD and proud that he
was an Odd Fellow, 1t is a pity that
those on the outside who are hesitat-
ing about coming into the lodge could
not have heard this speech.
1t certainly would have turned their
hesitation into determination TO be-
come an Odd Fellow at the frat op-
portunity. These impromptu ban
quets are to be feature In future
and any brothers who are irregular in
attendance will run a chance of miss.
ing some Of the most enjoyable OF the
many good things in Odd Fellowship.

party to whom he desires TO talk, is
expected sometime during the present
year. The new line to Ashland and
Glendale has already been decided
upon and the construction work will
be begun within few weeks.
The officers left Tuesday morning
for Roseburg. They had been
through California and had left the
Califoria division officials at Yreka.
Messrs. Smith, Gilkeyson and Moore
are en- routs to Portland, from where
they will ship their touring car by
boat to Yreka. and after visiting
Marshfield and Yreka, will again take
their car and return to California.
The adoption of the central energy
system by the Grants Pass exchange
will be great convenience to patrons
But the fact that the company is
greatly behind with construction work
all over its system makes the date of
installing the new system somewhat 1
indefinite.
