ROYAL ARCH MAsoNs.
Movement Started to Organize Chap ter For Imperial Valley and Date
 Set For Next Meeting.

It is probable that as the outcome of a movement now on foot a chapter of the Royal Arch Masons will be es- tabished for Imperial Valley.
 4 preliminary meeting for this pur- pose was held last Saturday night in the Masonic Hall at Imperial, with Dr. q. NJ. Bumgarner presiding and w.. R. Stevenson acting as secretary, to discuss the situation, and the senti- ment was in favor of securing the in stitution of a chapter
 The secretary was instructed to cor respond with the proper officials, and it was decided to hold a second meet ing at Imperial, on the night of April 10, to which all Royal Arch Masons in Imperial Valley are invited.
 A committee composed of w. H. AL len, Imperial; A. Nj. Shenk, Calexico; and J. J. Carr, Imperial, is to secure the names of all Royal Arch Masons now residing in the Valley.

GRAND LOOSE MAY COME
Possibility of Bringing to Imperial Val ley Fifteen Hundred Odd Eel
 lows and sebekahs.

Imperial Valley may secure the meeting of the Grand Lodge of Cali fornia. Independent Order of Odd Eel lows. and the annual session of the Rebekahs. it's auxiliary order. for 1910. if the proper efforts are made. say local Odd Fellows who are in touch with the general situation.
 It is mainly a question Of whether the valley could adequately provide for such a gathering. it is said and the prospect is that El Centro may be able to act as host for this great gathering which represents all parts of California.
 At the Grand Lodge sessions some times as high as 1000 men are iB at tendance. The order has 407 lodges in the State. and several of these are entitled to from ten to twelve dele gates each. The gathering of Rebek- ahs numbers from 200 to 300 women.
 It is believed that the combined use of the Holt Opera House and Ma sonic Hall would accommodate the Grand Lodge and it's committee meet ings, while the Rebekahs could be ac- commodated in Blackinton Hall.
 The Grand Lodge will meet in San Francisco next May, and at that time the proposition of making that city the permanent place of meeting will be considered. Heretofore the ses- sions have been held at various places throughout the State, and it is said a sentiment largely prevails through out Southern California lodges that this method should continue. The Odd Fellows have q strong membership in Southern California, and it is believed they would center on proposition to hold the 1910 meeting in Imperial Val ley if an invitation is extended while it is known that some of the Grand Lodge officials are already in favor of such action.
 It is probable that the proposition of extending an invitation will be pre- sented to the various civic bodies of the county, for their consideration, as the entertainment would be too much for any one valley town at present to undertake alone. and the visit of such a body would be of general benefit to all parts of the valley.

NEW HOTEL MANAGEMENT.
Management of "King Edward" in Los Angeles, Passes to Dunham &
 Smith.

Col Edward Durham, for years con- nected with the hotel business of Southern California, is again in posi- tiOn where he expects to meet his hosts of friends. He and w. E. Smith, who was with the J. R. Newberry Company for fifteen years, have be- come the proprietors of the King Ed ward Hotel, on Fifth street, between Main and Los Angeles streets, in Los Angeles. This is one of the best popular priced hotels in Los Angeles, and has become more and more the headquarters for Imperial Valley folk during the past year.
 The King Edward is a six-story fire proof building owned by John Parkin- son, a Los Angeles architect, who planned for himself a building that would withstand the ravages of either fire or earthquake. The hotel was opened little more than two years ago by the Tousley Company, which AiA6Ao6Ch IL ouNCGoolullJB anu lIOlil lu6 start 1t has been constantly increas- ing it's volume of business from South ern California people who wish com fort and convenience and degree of elegance without being held up for sky-scraping prices.
 Col Dunham's Los Angeles hotel connection has been long and varied, In the early days he was manager of both the Old Pico House and the St. Elmo Hotel. when they were the best hOstelries in the city. Later he was in charge of The Palms. the Nadeau, the Anaheim Hotel, and for season managed most successfully the Hotel RedOndo. at RedondO Beach.
 He extends a cordial invitation to all his Imperial Valley friends to call on him at the King Edward when ever they are in Los Angeles. 5l-lt

VISITING ODD FELLOWS
Grand Lodge officers Come to Fl Cen
 tro and Install imperial Lodge.

Fl Centro Odd Fellows were hosts for officers of the Grand lodge of Cal irornia on Friday evening of last week. An open session of the El Centro Lodge was held on that evening, at which many citizens were present to listen to the visitors and to extend the greetings of the valleys metrop- oils to them.
 In the party which visited El Cen tro were Grand Master John E. Raker, of Alturas; Grand Secretary H. D. Richardson, of San Francisco Grand Representative w. w. Phelps, of Riv- erside, and A. A. Piddington, of River side, a member of the Grand Lodge. Each of these visitors made short ad- dresses at the meeting here.
 Saturday forenoon was devoted to a drive 10 places of special interest in the vicinity of Fl Centro, and in the afternoon the party, accompanied by local odd Fellows, went to Imperial where they joined the excursion breth- ren from Los Angeles and Riverside. The special train brought to the val ley eighty-fve people, siXty-fve of whom were from Riverside.
 The occasion of this visit was the institution of Imperial Lodge, No. 4O7. District Deputy Grand Master F. H. sherman, of El Centro installed the new officers, while the crack degree team of Riverside did the floor work. This team is said to be the finest odd Fellows team in California, and one of the best in the United States.
 The Imperial Lodge started with eighteen charter members from other lodges, and twenty four new members were given the degrees.
 After the ceremonies a banquet was served in Woodmen's Hall
 Within about three weeks a new Odd Fellows Lodge will be instituted at Brawley. Fl Centro has been the pioneer lodge of this order in Imperial Valley but it's members gladly vel comed the institution of the Imperial Lodge and will assist in the estab- lishment of the new lodge at Brawley

 Washington. March .2s.-When the tariff bill was laid before the House today, Mr. Humphrey. of Washington, took issue with some statements made by Mir. Payne in his opening speech regarding the number of Orientals en. gagged in the lumber mills of British Columbia.
 MT. Payne. he said, left the impress sion that there were fewer orientais working in such mills there than were in the State of Washington. That statement was erroneous. he said. He declared that over fifty per cent. of the men engaged in the lumber and shingle mills of British Columbia were orientals, were paid lower wages than American mill laborers and that there- fore the cost of production was less. ]
 MT. Humphrey, in pleading for an increased duty on shingles. warned the Republicans that they could not es- cape their responsibility insofar as the problem of Oriental labor was con- cerned.
