Want New Lodges
One lodge under dispensattOn at
Litchville will ask for q charter. This
will probably be the only addition this
year. Inquiries have been received
BY Grand Secretary Stockwell from
Deering, New England, Flasher, Hat
ten, Crosby, Jud and Grandin, and it
Is understood that temporar y0rgani-
cations have been perfected in several
of these points. Growth In member
ship of charter lodges seems TO have
been substantial and the net gain
ought to exceed that Of the past two
years.
The question Of erecting a cottage
for Masons and their families on the
grounds of the state sanitarium for
tuberculosis at Dunseith, will come UP
for some definite action.
There is every reason to believe
that the twenty-fOurth annual com.
munication will be full OF interest.
The Royal Arch
The grand chapter will hold its
twenty-fOurth annual convention with
its latest chartered chapter, Riamarck
No. 10. Most Excellent Companion
Clarence A. Hale will preside. There
is some prospect Of a visit from Gen
eral Grand High Priest Bernard G.
Witt of Henderson, Ky. Two chapters
under dispensation will probably ask
for chapters namely, Damascus. at
Rugby, and Edgeleyn at Edgeley.
There will also be a report OF the
triennial convocation of the general
grand chapter held last September in
indianapolis, at which the grand high
priest and grand secretary Of North
Dakota were IN attendance. The grand
chapter will be in session. one day,
June &c.
