DETROIT WANTS NFXISTATE
CONVENTION SONS ST. GEORGE
Said That Upper Peninsula Lodges of
Order Vote to Hold Next Grand
Lodge Session in the Lower
Peninsula.

The grand lodge session of the
Sons of st. George in ,19l1 will i'm all
probability be held i'm Detroit" ac-
cording to prominent member of the
society, SAYS the Mining Journal. THE
Detroit ledge. which IL Ahe oldest in
Michigan, hhs been endeavorng for
three years to induce the grand lodge
officers and delegates to meet i'm that
city. It's representative made such a
strong plea at the last convention, held
in the copper country, that many Of
the members i'm this part of the state
expressed their approval of the propo-
sition. Fi1
Although the Detroit lodge is the
only one below the straits, it is en-
titled to this recognition on account of
its having been ograhized some years
before the older lodges in upper pen
insula were perfected. The next grand
lodge meeting will be held at Iron
Mountain the latter part of July"
While the grand lodge was in session
last year, six OF the grand lodge Of
ficers, who favor meeting in Detroit
next year, offered to pay their own
expenses. The chief objection to De-
troit was on account of the expense
the subordinate lodges would incur in
sending representatives TO the ses-
sion. 1t is now likely that n special
fund will be raised for that purpose
The question of levying a special as
sessment of five cents per capita will
be voted on by the lodges of the state
in May In the event this proposition
carries. it is certain that the grand
lodge will decide at its session at Iron
Mountain to give Detroit the next
meeting.
