The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1909-10-20

Some who have attended grand lodge
gatherings elsewhere and in much
larger places, have gone so far as to
say that they have never been more
royalty received or had more enjoy
able time than they have experienced
at this gathering in the capital of
Idaho county. If this if true, the
local lodge and the people of Grange
vile feel more than repaid for the eff
fort they have put forth.
