IN THE SUPER
|OR COURT
CONDEMNATION CASE is NOW BE.
ING TRIED.-OUTSIDE CAPITA.
LISTS WILL SCRAP FOR AL.
LEGGED DAMAGES BY REASON
OF THE REGRADE.

The condemnation case began by
the city for the purpose of establish
ing the grade on Wenatchee avenue,
which had been continued until this
morning, opened with a whole array
attorneys representing the many in
terests in the defense.
In accordance with the usual pro-
ceeding in such cases some of those
who will be hurt the least are pre-
pairing to put up the biggest fight
and on the other hand, some who
will be inconvenienced the most are
willing to leave the matter largely 10
the judgment of the jury.
Many of the property holders iiv-
ing in Wenatchee, who are interested
in seeing the improvements made are
willing to abide by an equitable ar
rangement. Outside capitalists are
preparing to put up a hard fight.
Principal among these are the Col
umbia River Lumber company AMI
Sam ROsenburg. The Columbia Riv-
er Lumber company has already I'M
ported an attorney from Seattle, and
their case is now being heard.
Sam Rosenburg, whom the city
presented with the best corner in the
city, is also preparing to fight for
damages, which he says he will sus-
tain by reason of the change in the
grade.

EAGLES To MEET
IN SEATTLE
ORGANIZATION STARTED IN SPIR-
1T OF JEST IN SEATTLE TEN
YEARS AGO.

Fifty thousand members of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles will gather
in Seattle next August on the occasion
of the grand aerie session of the or
der, to celebrate the 10th anniver-
sary of the founding of the grea. or
gaDiZation.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles,
which today has 1900 lodges scatter
ed throughout the United States,
Canada, Mexico, Hawaii and .he Phil
ippino isls nds, with a membership; OF
more than 100000 had it's beginning
in Seattle just 10 years ago. Like
other great things it's origin came
about through trivial matter, and
it's founders had no idea of the mag
nificent and grand proportions that
the order was to assume.
The theatrical managers of Seattle
met on Sunday, February 6, 1898, to
discuss some business matter. The
half dozen men INDUCED in walk
and brought up on the tide flats.
Seated on a lumber pile near the Mo-
ran shipbuilding establishment the
handful of men were soon engaged
in banter
In spirit of jest officers were
elected of the Seattle Order of
Good Things and meeting was
called for the following Sunday.
Those who were present at the first
meeting and who are now members
of Seattle Aerie No. /, were John
Cort, John w Consiiine, T. J. Consi-
dine and Nose Goldsmith.
The order at the outset defed the
supposedly baleful influence of 13.
The first regular meeting was he'd on
February Is, with John Cort an pre-
siding officer. Four new members
were taken into the order at this
meeting, ana meetings were there
after held every Sunday afternoon on
the stage of some theatre.
Rough and Ready Initiation.
New members were given a rough
and ready initiation, with the aid Of
the mechanical devices Of the stage
and property room. The proceedings
of the meetings were never serious at
that time. Charges true or false were
fled against some member and he
was promptly fined. The proceeds
of the fines were spent for refresh
ments.
At a special meeting of the new
order on March u, 1898, the first
steps toward making the organiZa-
ton permanent were taken. 1t was
decided TO change the name, and
John Cort's suggestion of 'Fraternal
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1908-06-22

Order of Eagles" was adopted. The
picture of an eagle on the wall of
the hall gave Cort the inspiration.
The 13 superstition was given an
other jolt, when on May 13, 1898,
the charter for the grand aerie, Fra
ternal Order of Eagles, was issued
by Secretary of State VIII D. Jen-
kins at Olympia, Wash. On May
2S of the same year the first subor-
dinate aerie, Spokane No 2, was in
stituted. Within the mex. year aeries
were instituted in Tacoma, Portland,
San Francisco, Vancouver, B. c.,
Oakland, CAL, Sacramento, Cal,
Rossland, B. c., Butte, Mont, Victo-
ria, B. C., Everett, Nanaimo, B. c.,
Helena, Mont, Astoria, Ore, and
Anaconda, Mont.
Growth is RaDid.
According to the report of Grand
Secretary Partridge to the grand
aerie at Norfolk, Va, last summer
the order has paid out for sick and
funeral benefits ana the relief of
members since its inception $2,604,-
419.49. The total disbursements of
the order for benefits and other pur-
poses, according to the same report,
were over $11, 100000.
San Francisco has the largest num-
Der of members of the order of any
city in the country, its two aeries
embracing a total membership of
more than 5000. Pennsylvania and
Ohio are the states having the larg-
est number of aeries and members.
Elaborate preparations are being
made for the entertainment of the
grand aerie by the Seattle aerie.
About $25, 200 will be spent in the
entertainment of the visitors and the
decoration of the city. About 900
will be donated as prizes.
