Brief but impressive ceremonies
marked the laying of the corner stone
Of the Masonic temple at the corner
Of Fifth street and Bruce avenue in
this city Wednesday afternoon. The
stone was put in place at exactly 5:32
o'clock in the northeast corner Of the
huildign. Walter l.. Williamson OF
Lisbon, grand master of the grand
lodge Of North Dakota, acted as mas
ter of ceremonies. Walter L. Stock
we'll, grand secretary. was also pres
ent. Mr.. Stockwell was also present
at the laying of the corner stone OF
the old Masonic temple on DeMers
avenue and yesterday he gave an in
teresting review of the progress made
by the local lodge and showed the
great improvement of the new struc-
ture over the old one. Grand Senior
Deacon F. H. Sprague of Grafton and
Grand Junior Deacon c. N. Barnes
of this city also played important
parts in the ceremonies.
Over 100 members Of the local
Masonic bodies marched to the build
ing. The line of march was formed
in front Of the First National bank.
In the preliminary part Of the pro-
gram several lodge officers participat,,
ed. H. NJ. Wheeler, deputy grand
s ~ ~ HhSI 61o
the North Dakota lodge, handled the
square, D. NJ. Holmes, grand senior
warden, handled the level and Grand
Junior Warden D. G.. Moore used tie
plumb line. These officers first meas
ured the stone and made all prelim-
mary arrangements for the laying
and then pronounced everything
ready. Grand Marshal Clarence A.
Hale and Frank Kent, with the as
sistance of several others, then put
the stone in place. The grand officers
Of the lodge then proceeded to scat
ter orr and to pour oil on the stone.
The former is a sign Of abundance
while the latter symbolizes peace.
The ceremonies were delayed for
some time because the stone did not
arrive on time. 1t finally came by ex-
press and the charges for shipping
from the quarry amounted to more
than the value of the stone itself.
