GATES REWARDS
AGED PASTOR
GIVES $1,000 TO THE MAN WHO
MARRIED HIM THlRTY-FouR
YEARS AGO.

Seattle, Sept s.-That John w
CBet -MiilionD Gates II not sor-
~ he was married thirty-four years
ago il attested BY $1,000 bill which
a Seattle minister guarded all last
night until the banks opened this
morning.
Mr.. Gates. who is here on busi-
ness trip, met the pastor who married
him In st. Charles, ILL.,, on Feb. rs,
1874. Though he had not seen the
minister for twenty i've years, Mr..
Gates remembered his face instantly.
seizing the pastor by the hand, Mr.
Gates said:
Bless your old heart, Pm going to
pay you somewhere near what / owe
you. / couldn't give you much OF q
fee back in St Charles. thirty 1--we
years ago, but here's a little interest
on the debt"
Taking his famous roll OF bills from
his trousers pocket, Mr.. Gates slipped
of a $1,000 bill, pressed 1t into the
surprised parsons hand and, with a
thank you again" was on his way.

ficers under the dispensation are at
the present time unattainable How
ever the records of Minnesota as shown
in the grand secretary's offices here
show that the following were the cleo
tive officers under the charter granted
by the grand lodge of that state:
Worshipful Masters. q. Roberts.
Senior Warden-C. w. Rossiter.
Junior Warden-W. d. Maddocks.
ecretary--Andrew McHench.
Many Quarters Occupied.
AS is Of necessity in growing COM
munity frequent changes of meeting
places were made. Just prior to the
fire the lodge occupied the hall on the
second floor Of q building located
where Prizes hall now Is. Immediately
after the confagration the Masons Of
the city gathered in Island park and
petitioned their landlord to erect a
building on the same site. This was
done and until the construction of the
magnificent temple now in use and
dedicated entirely to Masonic purposes
the lodge occupied this hall.
From the earliest time IL is shown
by records and tradition that the lodge
met regularly and had in addition
many social gatherings that have lived
In the memories Of the pioneers of the
order in the city.
The Present Lodge.
Shiloh Lodge No. A. #. & A. M. is
today made up of the best men in all
walks OF life-men bound together by
the strong ties of brotherhood and who
earnestly strive not only to build up
their order but to develop the country
and city in which they live and to
strive for the betterment of all man
kind.
Meeting regularly in the beautiful
temple which they have built, they
transact the business of the order and
strengthen their forces by many init
iations. Shiloh lodge like all Masonry
being founded firmly will live through
out the ages and 1t is safe to say that
as long as there Is a Fargo there viii
be a Shiloh lodge No. 1.
The officers of the lodge at the pres
emit time are:
Worshipful Master-Jas. H. Morrow
Senior Warden--AIbert A. Comrie.
Junior Warden--Clarence G. McGregor

!. History Of the Blue Lodge in Fargo

All Masonry is based upon the first
three degrees or the Blue lodge as it
is called. 1t comprises al that there
is of ancient craft Masonry. II has
the distinction of being the oldest
fraternal organization in existence and
Is practiced over practically all OF the
civilized world
Fargo is distinguished by having one
OF the largest and strongest Blue
lodges OF Ancient Free and Accepted
Masons in the west For city of its
size IL would be hard, IL not an i'm
possible matter to find SO strong an
organization of Masons I'm a town of
the population. At the present time
this order numbers 569 members in
good standing.
Started Thirty-seVen Years Ago.
Masonry started in this city on Nov.
20, 1872, when it was given a dispen-
sation granted by the grand lodge A.
r. & A. M Of Minnesota This was
long before North Dakota was state
being at that time Dakota, territory
and comprising what is now North
and South Dakota.
While a very small village at the
time there were a number of Masons
here who had been taken into the
order in the east. These desired to
continue in activity in the lodge and
this lead them to ask for dispen-
sation from the neighboring state.
Under the dispensation the lodge
continued to work until Jan. IA. 1874,
when it was granted charter by the
grand lodge Of Minnesota and was
called Shiloh lodge, No. 105, beginning
its work as a fully constituted lodge.
1t is notable fact that there are still
q number of the original members of
the lodge still living in Fargo and
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1909-09-03

affiliated with it.
During the following years Masonry
grew more rapidly in the territory Of
Dakota. In fact so much so that 1t
was possible and almost became a
necessity to form a grand lodge for
the territory. This was accomplished
in 1879 and Shiloh lodge affiliated with
it, receiving the designation Of Shiloh
lodge, No. 8.
Still further along in history--to be
exact in 1SS9-the territory was dt-
vided and North Dakota became a
state. After this division the Masons
of the state did not tarry long but at
once set to work to form a grand
lodge for the commonwealth and ac-
eomplished the purpose the same year
This required a change in the charters
Of the subordinate lodges and Shiloh
lodge was given a new charter as
Shiloh lodge, No. l. 1t is under this
charter that 1t Is operating today.
Has Grown Rapidly.
The growth of masonry in North Da-
kota and especially in Fargo has been
as phenomenal as that of the popula-
ton Of the state and city. This is
evidenced by the fact that when the
local lodge was granted it's charter by
the grand lodge of Minnesota it's mem
bership just numbered twenty. Com
pairing this with the present enroll
ment of $50 some idea can be gained
OF how this fraternity has grown. The
same can be said OF Masonry all Ger
the stavte for there is not town in
the state OF any size whatever that has
not Blue lodge with a good member

1893, the Masonic temple and practi-
cally all of the records OF the lodge
were lost and as consequence the Of

A practical cotton picker has long
been one Of the most urgent needs
Of the south, and many devices have
been invented to satisfy the demand
None has in the past proved sue

It to be- so entirely satisfactory ID les

backward movement Of the elevat6t

movements create the third Or per-
