a structure as soon as possible which
should be used exclusively for Masonic
purposes. During that year some of the
pTeliminarIes were worked out-among
which being the mode Of raising the

Scott.

From that time things moved along
rapidly. Plans were consumated by
Architects Hancock Bros. and M. e.

tract for erecting the superstructure
was let to r. Fl. Bowers for $2T,
On June Z Of the same year the cor

Grand Lodge of he state. On March

month an award was made for fitting

the next year the Blue Lodge, Chapter,
Commandry and Eastern Star occupied
their respective quarters in the mag

wood work was completed in April,
1902.
Such is in brief the history of the
splendid building situated at the cor
north-a building that would be q
credit to any city and is the pride Of
every Mason in the state.
A Monument to Energy.
Not only does this splendid ediflce
stand as reminder of the greatness
OF Masonry In North Dakota, but also
as monument to the energy of Ma
sons and especially to that of the
board Of trustees which had charge
of the project
Prior to the purchase Of the lots the
board had consisted Of three, but in
view of active building this number
was increased to nine They were

was organized by the election of Major
Fleming as president. B. F. Spaldine
as vice president, FL. c. Plumley as
secretary and W. A. Scott as treasurer
No changes were made in the board
until the death of Major Fleming
when L. B. Hanna was made member
tof the board and b. F. Spalding was
made president and Mr. Williamson

resigned and Mr.. Williamson was made

aiding in preventing the misuse and
abuse Of power, and putting down
tyranny and OPPRESSION"
The foundation of the entire edifice
OF Masonry is the Blue Lodge-the
first three degrees of Entered Appren-
tice, Fellowcraft and Master Mason.
Emenating from this main trunk are
two branches-one designated as the
York Rite and the other the Scottish
Rite. The former embraces the Chap
ter of Royal Arch Masons and the
Commandry of knights Templar while
the latter includes the Lodge Of Per-
fection, the Chapter of Rose Croix, the
Council, knights OF Kadosh, and the
Consistory. In addition there is also
q social organization which. while not
classed as Masonic, is bound closely
to that order by the requirement that
in order to become noble in the
Shrine one must have previously TAX
en- the degrees in either the York or
Scottish Rite.

The Masonic Temple.
The strength and enthusiasm OF
Masonry in North Dakota Is well ev-
idenced by the numerous lodges over
the state, but there Is probably nc
other material thing which demon
strates these things more fully thar
the Masonic temple in Fargo.
For many years the members OF the
order in Fargo had felt that some
structure should be erected. Fargo Is
the largest city in the state and az

Architecture Of Building.
Some idea Of the extent OF the
building can be gained when 1t Is
known that the measurement around
the building is $50 feet; that the
ground surface is 1900 square feet;
that the floor space Of the building is
55,I55 square feet In its construc-
ton 5000 cubic feet of concrete, H.
5000 bricks and 100000 feet of lum-
Der were used
The structure cost $se, 900, but con-
sidering the price Of building material
at the present time, 1t could not be
replaced for less than $4,000. The
style of architecture conveys at once
the impression of strength and grace
fulness, being Of classic renaissance
design. There are massive pilasters
on both fronts, terminating in Ionic
capitals. A rich stone cornice and
balustrade extends around both fronts,
Both fronts are faced with red
pressed brick trimmed In granite The
main entrance is on First avenue and
is composed of massive arch sup

In North Dakota Masonry is espe-
cially strong All Of the larger cities
and towns of the state have lodges,
of what is termed among the frater-
nifty the Blue Lodge. Some OF the
other towns have lodges of the higher
branches while in Fargo every lodge
to and including the SO degree may be
secured. This lodge is not an idle
combination Of mysteries. 1t stands
for something not only in the life OF
its members but In the every day ex-
istance OF community. state and ma
ton and even the world.
The best explanation Of what Ma
sonry is, was published In q souve-
mir Of the Masonic temple in 1903.
1t says:
The Masonic order does not rest
simply on ceremonies and mysteries;
It Is a code Of morals, system OF
philosophy; it is not religion, still it's

hood of man, and the Fatherhood OF
Gods
