C0NS|STORY Of SCOTTISH RITE Will
4 Be ESTABLISHED N GRAND FORKS
Temporary Dspensation Will Be Delivered Tonight BY Dep
uty Inspector General Plumley-oives This City Three
New Masonic Bodies Now Have Them All

Acting favorably upon the petition
OF Grand Forks Masons for the es-
tablishment here of q consistory, H.
G. Plumley of Fargo, deputy inspec-
tor general of the Scottish Rite bodies
IN North Dakota, has issued q tempo
rary charter under which the Grand
Forks .Masons are authorized to pro-
coed with the organization of this
high branch Of Masonry.
With this action Grand Forks has
secured all of the different branches
OF the Masonic lodge that can be es-
tablished in the state and that fact
will tend largely toward increasing
this cttY's Importance on the Masonic
map.
Up :, the present time 1t has been
posr;'';;e for the Grand Forks Masons
10 nee only as far as the four
teen degree. or the Lodge of Per-
lection. Consequently many men from
the northern part Of the state who
might otherwise prefer to come to
Grand Forks to take their degrees.
have necessarily gone to Fargo, while
many others have not taken as many
as they would had there been an OPP
portunity of doing SO nearer home.
It is largely because Of this condi-
ton that the favorable action on the
petition was taken.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1910-09-13

Under the dispensation granted. and
which will hold good till the Scottish
Rite gathering at which the perma-
nent charter will be granted, the es-
tablishment Of the chapter Of Rose
Croix, the Knights of Kadosh and the
Consistory are made possible. The
Rose Croix includes from the fifteenth
to the eighteenth degrees. the Knights
Of Kadosh includes from the nine
teenth to the thirtieth, while the con-
sistory includes the thirty-first and
thirty-second degrees.
Deputy Inspector General H. G.
Plumley will be in the city this even
ing to deliver the dispensation and
an informal meeting has been called
for that time. .
With the establishment OF the con-
sistory. Grand Forks will have every
body Of the Masonic lodge that can
be had in the state. It already has
the Lodge Of Perfection, the Chapter
the Commandry and the Shrine.
The matter Of securing the dispen-
sations for the new bodies has, lone
been under contemplation and the
local Masons are enthusiastic over
their success. as it will mean added
strength to the order in this state.

Difficult to Determine Strength
Of Team Until Men Are
Seen in Field

Madison, Wis. Sept. 13.-"It Is i'm
possible to say at the present time
what kind Of a football team we will
have at Wisconsin this year," said
Captain Jimmy" Dean when asked
regarding prospects in the Badger
camp.
I'VE don't know how we stand un-
til we see the men in the field. There
is a likely quantity of material in
school but from what can learn
some of the most promising men are
laboring under scholastic difficulties
from which they may extricate them
selves before the playing season be-
gins. Upon their success or failure
depends our schances."
This statement, made by the only
Badger to be unanimous all-western
choice at end last fall, about sizes up
the situation at the University of Wis
consin. At the present time it looks
rather dubious but IL some of the men
who are at the present time under the
faculty ban can succeed in regaining
their eligibility at the time the fall ex-
aminations are given, things may

Material Is Lacking.
The thing that is troubling Coach
Barry most at the present time is the
lack of material to fill their places.
Captain Dean will be back at his old
position at end and he is expected to
complete his term of eligibility with
glory. Buser and Mackmiller, the two
guards of year ago, are expected to
hold down their old positions and Ar
pin may again hold down the center
of the line. He is light. however. and
If new man shows up. may be

that sid" Anderson, the sensational
Chicago player, may not be available
to the Badgers this fall, is causing
considerable worry The former
Mercersbury academy star is an I'M
certain quantity now. it being gener-
ally understood that the faculty will
have something to say regarding his
playing. In case he is not allowed
to play, Badger hopes will drop sever
al notches, for he had just begun to
round into form at the close Of last
season and under the new rules
should prove the sensation of the west

are taken into consideration.

Some change will necessarily have
to be made in the manner Of paving

Of the fact that the creosoted blocks
