Grand Lodge l. O. o. E.

According to Tucson papers, pre- parations are already under way for the entertainment of the Grand Lodge of the Order of Odd Fellows, which will be convened on the 18th of April.

At the session of the Grand Lodge the question of a site, with acreage to the extent of 20 acres, for an orphans home, will be discussed, it appearing that there is a flaw in the title to the land offerd near Stafford. The land and bonus in cash represented about $1O,OOO.
