Grand Master Birdseye in his open
ing address at the Grand Lodge states
that curing the past year the subordi-
nate lodges in this state have made a
total net gain of $500 members, which
is most remarkable showing.
The erection of new building to
cost s45, 900 on the property at Walla
Walla owned by the Odd Fellows
was authorized. and it's construction
will be begun as soon as possible.
The Rebekahs desire to have a
building of their own which will be
used exclusively as an Orphans lone.
thus allowing the Odd Fellows the
use of their property for the aged and
destitute of their own order. The
plan adopted by the Rebekahs is to
take ten per cent of the money raised
bv levylng an annual per capita tax
of SO cents and it is hoped the build
ing can be erected and paid for with
in three or four years. The present
building is too small and the rapid
growth of the order requires addition
al room. The present plan is to erect
separate buildings for use as an Or
phans' Home and this work will be
Undertaken by the Rebekahs.
The Rebekahs appropriated 50, 500
toward defrsying the expenses of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge which meets at
Seattle in September. It is expected
that the Grand Lodge will appropriate
$40, 600 for the same purpose before
the convention adjourns tomorrow at
noon.

features of the entertainment pro-
gramme is to be an old-fashioned fish

provided for all who come.
'One OF the main issues before the
convention says the secretary, will
be the deciding as to the ways and
means to be employed to secure a
change in our present collection laws
IN South Carolina, so as to afford
some protection TO the seller. The
plan that will be worked out contem
plates bringing together every inter-
est effected by such laws, and to con-
centrate their influence i'm bringing

Mr.. Mcclure has also issued the fol.
lowing address to the hardware and
material men of South Carolina:
Since writing you on June 4, our
officers have decided it will be for the
best interests of the Association to ex-
tend the time for our. convention a

who had capitulated before a supe-
rior force.
There was no opportunity to COM
promise on gloves. The president said
the rates must not be advanced be-
yond the figures named by the senate
bill. which are the same as the exist
ing duties except for the fact that
Schmaschen gloves were reduced by
the senate from $1.75 a dozen to ST.
20. These rates were adopted.
| In lumber some concessions were
made. in spite of the fact that the
presidents instructions were complied
with to the letter. Rough lumber was
made dutiable at $1.25 per thousand
feet; finished on one side, $1.75; fin
ished on two sides or one side planed
and tongued and grooved, $2.15; fin
ished on three sides, $2.52 1-2; fin
ished on four sides. $3.50.
To conciliate Senators Piles and
Jones. the conferees adopted the SEN
ate rate Of so cents thousand on
shingles instead Of the house rate Of
80 cents.
In order to obtain the support of
Senator Hepburn, the industries of
whose State had been assailed through
the abolition Of the duty on hides, the
reduction in the differential in pig
lead in bars. the latter schedule was
reconsidered.
A rate Of Q 1-S cents pound on
pig lead in bars was fifixed.
A concession was made to the cat
tie industry today by taking tallow
OF the free list.
The rates on hosiery were increas-
ed about 20 per cent in grades valued
at from 81 to 50 a dozen pairs. This
Is an increase over existing rates. On
all other values of hosiery the Ding
ley rates were retained.
When the minority members ad-
5ourned tonight, 1t was announced
that the tariff experts they had called
In had proceeded far enough to show
that the new bill will be an increase
of from 1 to 3 per cent. over the ad
valorems Of the Dingley law. 1t is
understood that in making this calcu-
iation the experts did not take into
consideration transfers of articles
from the dutiable to the free list,
which the Republican conferees say
would reduce the average advalorems
considerably below those of the exist
ing law.
