Tertiary, went unsolicited to the home of
Rev. FINS Idleman here, gave him his kit
of burglars tools and asked his help to
lead a better life. Marsh was penniless.
He visited a saloon and while watching the
drunken jewellers there and considering
his own plight, he realized what a failure
his life had been. He determined to try
the better way. His change or neart was
worked out within himself. 1t required no
evangelistic services to help him. On the
wall of the saloon was an advertisement
of the Central Church OF Christ inviting
all to attend, 1t was signed by Rev. Finis
Idleman. So Marsh went to the preacher
and asked advice. His wrong was pointed
out to him; he was assisted in finding
work on the Ice at $3.50 per day and has
asked the preacher to help him trace down
the names of the people he has robbed
He has expressed the determination to re-
pay all.

springs are automatically compressed

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
total net gain of $500 members, which
is most remarkable showing.
The erection of a new building to
cost s45, 600 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 Home.
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
un ndertaken by the Rebekahs.
The Rebekahs appropriated 50, 500
| toward defrsying the expenses of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge which meets at
Seattle in September. 1t is expected
that the Grand Lodge will appropriate
$40. 900 for the same purpose before
