Early Days Of Bismarck Lodge.
The first charter to Bismarck Ma
sons was granted by the grand lodge
of Minnesota. Jan. IL. 1876, and it was
designated as lodge No. 100. The
charter was regranted to the local or

held its sessions in various rooms over
places of business and elsewhere in
the city. For several years past it
held its sessions in the Pythian hall.
In 1902 the first step was aiken toward
securing a home for itself, when two
lots were purchased on Third street,
between Main and Broadway, in a de-
sirable portion of the city. 1t was not
until 1909 that the preliminary con-
struction work was commenced. Work
on the temple proper was not begun
until the spring of 1911. The corner
stone was laid in July, 1911, and the
edifce was ready for occupancy late
in December. Ehe Mason orders took
possession of the temple early in Jan
uary of the current year.

Since the retirement of A. l.. Spence

Belding is entitled TO representation

the strength of the ticket He is re-
ceiving strong support from all parts of
the county and we believe his nomina-
ton is practically assured.

Tuition Rates Raised

The Ionia schools have raised the
tuition rates for nonresident pupils in
high school from $40 per year TO $50.
This is due to general advance in teach
er's salaries. The board has gone over
the estimates of cost carefully, and
while the advance in rates hardly pays
actual expenses, it was though-that a
greater raise was not advisable. OF
course the main attendance of non-resi-
dents is in high schools, and no advance
has as yet been made in lower grades,
although this is under consideration.
The Portland school board has been up
against the same situation, and has
advanced tuition rates as follows
High school, from $50 to $50; grammar
school, from 1852 to $500 and prim.
ary, from $ll.40 TO $15.00.-Portland
Review. 1t has been found necessary

Republican National Commit
tee Meets In Chicago To-
day---Remains Till End
Of Convention
SCENE OF ACTIVITY
Taft And Roosevelt Forces Are Both
Confident OF Winning Out.
Dark Horse Not Likely
To Develop

There is great activity i'm Chicago
this week with the meeting OF the
Republican National Committee which
will remain in session every day until
after candidates for President and
Vice President are named by the Con-
vention which meets there June 18th.
1t is expected that the committee
will settle all contests over delegates,
but there is much talk that IL the
Roosevelt faction do not get the best
OF it, or a "square deal" as they term it,
from the committee the leaders will
carry their grievance into the Conven-
tion. And so political battle lines for
the coming conflict for domination Of
the convention were sharply outlined
when leaders of the Taft and Roose-
welt forces arrived on the morning
trains. First came Congressman Nc
Kinley who is assuming charge OF his
headquarters stated that Secretary
Hilles, as the personal representative OF
the president, would be on hand during
the day and that he would aid Senator
Charles Dick, OF Ohio, contest manager
for the president, in getting the Taft
evidence ready for presentation TO the
commituee when il meets. Senator
Dixon also arrived and took charge
of the Roosevelt headquarters where
the feeling is even more bitter than
at any time since the former president
announced his candidancy, because of
the outcome in Ohio.
The result in Ohio was peculiarly q
disappointment to the Roosevelt forces,
who had expected victory following
the success of w alter Brown in secur-
ing his reelection as state chairman.
1t was stated at Roosevelt head quarters
that the selection of Taft delegates-at-
large from Ohio, following the Roose-
welt victory at the popular primaries.
emphasized the difference between the
Roosevelt LEADERS" and the Taft
"Bosses" and the talk of bolt should
the Taft people control the national
convention was even louder than ever.

That the Roosevelt forces are certain
that they will have y majority OF the
uninstructed delegates TO the conven-
tion was made plain when the leaders
analysed the roll Of delegates In the
light OF the expected action Of the
national committee in seating the Taft
claimants. They pointed out that
when the roll is submitted for confirm
alton there will be with IL a minority
report brought in by William l.. Ward,
Col. Cecil Lyon and the Roosevelt
committeeman and that they will then
have the opportunity TO demonstrate
for the first time just how far their
strength goes.
1--WE will demonstrate Immediately
that the Taft claims are absurd" de-
clared Ormsby McHarg, "and we will
show that we have the votes 10 control
the convention"
At Congressman McKinley's head
quarters the claim Of the Roosevelt
force was characterized as absurd.
LAS matter of fact" said Senator
Dick, If this were true, why would the
Roosevelt leaders be SO anxious TO i'm
press the national committee with the
strength of their absurd contests II
they have the votes to overthrow this
result? Whether Mr.. Roosevelt comes
here or stays at Oyster Bay, the Re
publican party OF the United States
will demonstrate during the next three
weeks that II is still the party Of the
people and not the organ Of any one
individuals ambition"
Vice President Sherman at the
White House declared he belived Pres
ident Taft would be nominated by the
Republican National Convention.
81 have not the slightest doubt that
Mr.. Taft will be nominated" he said.
ale will have at least hundred more
delegates than Roosevelt l would not
like to name the exact figure, but that
will be Mr.. Taft's majority"
Republican National Committeeman
John w. Rlodgett, Of Grand Rapids,
has engaged the large English psrlor
of the mezzanine floor OF the Hotel
Congress for Michigan headquarters in
Chicago during the national conven-
ton. Mr.. Blodgett's assistant, James
+. McGregor, Of Detroit, has already
left for Chicago, and will be in charge
Of the headquarters. The Michigan
delegates will have rooms in different
hotels, no attempt having teen made
10 locate them all in one hostelry.

RAILROAD CUSTER SUIT FAILS
SUPREME COURT RULES JOINT
OWNERSHIP is LEGAL.
Missouri Pacific and Other Compa-
nies Not Acting in Violation of
Antitrust Law In Missouri.

Jefferson City, Mo.-The suit Of
the state to invoke penalties or even
custer upon the Missouri Pacific, the
Wabash, the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
& Southern railroad companies, the
Pacific Express and American Re-
frigerator Transit company, under
the antitrust law, was practically dis
missed by the supreme court.
This suit alleged a joint ownership
of stock between these companies
which amounted to control, all in
violation of the antitrust law 1t also
alleged that the Wabash and the Mis-
souri, Pacific were controlled by a
joint ownership of stock and were
operating parallel and competing
lines in violation of the law. The
court holds that as the Wabash owns
eastern connections it is not paral-
lel' and competing line of the Mis-
souri, Pacific.
The court finds that the Pacific Elk
press company has 10000 shares of
stock. OF this the Wabash owns "a
900 and the Missouri Pacific 10000,
and which does not constitute con-
troll of this property; that the
Wabash has 331, ITO shares of COM
mon stock and 100000 shares of pre-
ferred, of which the Pacific Express
company owns 10000, the st. Louis,
Iron Mountain & Southern $4,000
shares and $5,435,000 of debenture
bonds, which ownership does not con-
stitute control.
