means BUILDING OF HOME
Tulsa one of the Best Masonic Cities
In the Counlry-Akdar Temple
Now Has over 600 Members.
LOS ANGELES. Cal. May 7.-(Spe-
cial. TULSA and Muskogee were both
granted charters at today's session OF
the Imperial Council Of Shriners.

The foregoing indicates that the
Tulsa and Muskogee Shriners will
cease to operate under the special
dispensation granted them at Roches-
ter n. Y, last year. The Shriners'
organization in either city has made
good, although the Tulsa shrine has
outgrown that Of Muskogee, and now
numbers about coo in its membership,
exceeding the membership Of Bedouin
temple at Muskogee by over 100. Ak
dar temple Of Tulsa has held but two
ceremonial sessions, but now has a
waiting list Of some 30 candid ttes.
Cercmonials are usually held twice a
year, unless the list OF candidates is
large enough to permit holding them
oftencr.
The real significance of Tulsa hay
ing been granted a charter Is In tho
fact that it means splendid temple
building for Tulsa in the near future.
Tulsa is one Of the best Masonic cities
in the country, in proportion to size,
and there are over 1000 Master Ma
sons in the city. Every branch OF
Masonry Is represented here in both
the Scottish and York rite work and
II Is expected that there VIII be
large growth in membership following
the announcement Of intention and the
actual building OF home for Masonry
In Tulsa.

school BOARD
IS NRANGLING
CAN'T AGREE ON THE MAN TO BE
ELECTED SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS.
STAR CHANDER Session
Members Refuse TO Give Any In
formation to Newspapers
the City.

Dissention is brewing among the
members of Tulsa recently electeu
school board which last night met
at the High school building and
wrangled for two hours and hall
without accomplishing anything, ac-
cording to their own statements.
The meeting was scheduled to have
been held Monday night but at that
time one member was absent and
adjournment was taken until last
night.
When newspaper men arrived at
the meeting place late, the members
were preparing to leave. A reporter
picked up sheet of paper lying on
the table. and bearing the written
minutes of the meeting. He started
to read it but one of the members
standing by snatched it from his
hand.
Would Suppress News
lOu uOH want " PRINT lldl, ne
said. I'VE want you to keep every.
thing concerning this meeting out Of
the papers,
The board members were informed
that nothing would be suppressed.
Another reporter stepped into tho
room and casually asked to see the
minutes of the meeting.
There are none" exclaimed three
or four board members, almost in
unison. Didn't do a thing. Haven't
got any information for you"
Challenge Kendall Members.
one of those present followed him
into the hall and informed him tina,
all that had transpred was the filing
of a challenge against Messrs. knepper
and Davidson. from near Kendall col
lege and outside the corporate limits
of the city. The rights of these men
to hold positions of the board is ques-
toned. They were placed on the bal.
lots at the last minute and elected
without opposition, making ten mem
bers on the board instead of eight as
prior to that time. 1t is claimed that
no one residing outside the city can
hold a place on the board. A meeting
will be held at s o'clock Thursday
night at which time the members in
question will be allowed to present
their claims for recognition. After
that the new board will be organized.
The board is in a deadlock over the
matter of the appointment of city
superintendent, and the present fight
centers around that.
There promises to BE- lively happen
ings at Thursday nights meeting.

Scarcity of Boats.

There is a scarcity of every kind Of

can be steercd and carry passengers

constructed in the upper districts
wherever timber is available. These
will be used in scouting over mum
dated sections where only light
draught vessels can navigate.

Clear weather and sunshine was

all those points up and down the river

 As twenty of these votes re- present a dollar instead of 100 as usual it can be seen that the girls are doing right well, it also shows that the merchants in this con test have been doing good bus mess, especially Prescott Hdw Co.,, w. B. Waller and Hesterly Drug Store. Counting the other contestants the votes represent about 1850 in trade cash, it is a short time till Christmas and the one that wins this piano has got to get after the votes with both feet and run some, the time is too short to expect to win this piano by working one day in the week, you must stay on the job.
 Don't get in this contest if you don't think you will get square deal and second if you cant stand to loose don't try to win. If you are not willing to abide by the decision of the contest manager don't get in it, because that is what you will have to do, it does not cost you anything to get in and you are welcome, your votes will be announced each week and the one that gets the most votes will get the piano, this applies to old contestants as well as new. Contestants must hand in their votes every Friday morning.
