While zero weather is unusual
in the Palouse country, the recent
old spell has not been unpleasant
and is much better than what they
have been having in other less ia
vored sections. In New Mexico
md Arizona the temperature went
away below zero and Arizona re
oorts three feet Of snow with a
temperature Of 81 degrees below.
alifornia has experienced the
heaviest snow in the history Of
the orange belt. Even many see
lions of Washington report severe
wind storms and billiards., but
the Palouse country has been hay
inc almost ideal winter weather.

The proposition to substitute
Rugby for football is not taken
with any degree Of enthusiasm in
Pullman. When Washington State
College is able to have the cham
pion football team for five or six
years in succession and there has
never been a serious accident in
the game here, it will be a hard
field in which to relegate football
to the rear in favor of the more
effeminate game Of Rugby.

MAJOR J. A. ROVER

looked forward to with great pleasure.
The ceremonies attending the insti-
tuition of Anaheim lodge No. 105 were
impressively eXemplified. Gantlet
lodge No. 129 had full charge of the
Amplified Page rank, and gave cor
rect rendition of the lessons of that
rank.
Marathon-Los Angeles lodge No. 1872
had charge of the ceremonies attend
ing the esquire and knight ranks. I'm
stinted praise was given by all the
members present.
The lodge was instituted by James
G. owen, special deputy grand chan
cellor, who was ably assisted by Past
Chancellors Charles V. Stansbury, D.
C. Caselman, C. C. Crawford, A. L.
Rhyman. Fred c. Williams, Andrew
Francisco, w. II. Esdohr, A. F. Nor
dyke, Kenton A. Miller, Robert Car
rett, F. A. Rott, Capt. J. C. Fowler,
NJ. F. Oliver Robert G. Louks, and
many others.
Members from Whittier, Santa Ana,
Tustin, Highland Park, Inter-Domain,
Moneta, Santa Monica, Hollywood Po-
mona and many other lodges were in
attendance.
Special train service was provided
by Brother Royer to convey the mem
bers to Anaheim and return. A cafe
was kept open all night by the Ana
helm committee and a splendid re-
past was provided for all visitors from
p. m. until a. m. New Years day.
Members of the entertainment COM
mittee were voted past masters in the
art of entertaining.
1t is a source of qualification to all
members that the grand lodge officers
are now working out plans to estab-
lish Pythian homes for the aged men,
bers and widows and orphans, and in
this respect Brother Roger is an able
ally, and to aid the good cause has
already made a substantial donation
and will not rest content until a beau
tiful home has been established in
Southern California. and it is safely
predicted that Anaheim will be the
proud possessor of such a grand in
stitution in the near future. No bet
ter or more beautiful location could
possibly be secured, and it is hope it
will be dedicated to the order that
stands for the principles of Friend
ship, Charity and BeneVolence.
Arrow lodge (sizzling)) No. %,
knights of Pythias, will soon begin
the preliminary work of organization
The knights OF Pythias having in
charge the work Of organizing have
determined to close the list with 800
charter members. More than $50 mem
bers have already signed up. The
committee in charge desire all knights
of Pythias who reside in Los Angeles,
who are not affiliated with lodges in
Los Angeles to send in their names
and addresses to 41O Broadway Cen
trail building at once, or call up over
phones 10739, or Main 1904. This is a
good opportunity to get into the livest
lodge ever established in California
Those who are not in good stanGing are
requested to confer with the committee
to be placed right in the order.

Fyy HE most important function ever
held in Pythian circles in Cali
u fornia took place at Anaheim
New Years eve when Anaheim lodge
No. 105 knights of Pythias was tnsti-
tuted with 250 charter members.
The organization of this peerless
lodge was directly through the tireless
efforts and splendid work of Major j..
o. Roger of Anaheim and Los Angeles,
who began his successful efforts No
vember 2S when he had as his guests
at his palatial home in Anaheim the
staff officers of the Third regiment
and companies 25, 40 and 80 Uniform
Rank knights of Pythias. From that
event ates the great enthusiasm and
interest taken in the Pythian order in
and around Anaheim. The natural
sequence was the enlistment of all the
leading business and professional men
there and at Fullerton, and their uit-
ed efforts made this the greatest event
ever held in that vicinity.
Brother Roger provided a special
train to convey the Los Angeles men,
bers to Anaheim, and more than 200
local members availed themselves of
the opportunity of witnessing the
beautiful ceremonies.
The following officers were elected
and installed: J. o. Roger, B. V.
Beebe, w. M. Rose and E. r. Barnes,
past chancellors; Richard Melrose,
chancellor commander; Virgil u.
Simpson, vice chancellor; Philip H.
Krick, prelate; Jay c. Idlor. master
of work; Edgar j. Hartung, keeper Of
records and seal; Virgil A. Holbrook,
master of finance; Gerald w. Sunda-
lands, master Of eXchequer; Norman
B. Tedford, master at arms; w. G.
Mason, inner guard; o. Lagman, outer
guard DR.. w. H. Wicket, +. A. Yung-
bluth and A. S. Bradford, trustees.
More than ninety strangers are
awaiting to be initiated in the mys-
teries of Pythian Knighthood in Ana
helm lodge, and Brother Roger has
promised the grand lodge officers to
see that this lodge has 400 members
on it's roster before the next session or
the grand lodge in May. All who
know him appreciate his splendid
work for the order
Major Roger has secured 100 recruits
for Company 20. Brigade initiation
will be held at Anaheim January 29,
at which time General j. A. Drlfnll ana
his entire staff will be present, as we'll
as the grand officers. The prediction is
freely made that Company 25 will re-
cruit $50 members from Orange county
in Nav when all of the members of
this company from Orange county are
invited to accompany Major Roger to
the next encampment at Santa Cruz
as his guests. This will afford them
an enjoyable outing and an opportunity
of meeting the next grand lodge mem
bers. After the adjournment he will
take them all to Napa, his old home,
to attend the annual ]. o. Roger ban
quet given by Fidelity lodge No. %,
