Yeomen brothers and sisters came
in from neighboring. places and all
seemed well pleased.
The fame Of Pioneer Homestead is
nation wide. The team puts on de-
gree work in a manner that is most
instructive and entertaining to broth
ers and sisters, and to make a pleas
ant evening still more delightful,
gram of some As minutes which is

both members of the degree team, are
especially pleasing.
Senator T. j. Grose and Capt.
George F.. Gordon are largely respor-
sible for the 3,4O0 membership Of
Pioneer Homestead No. ITO. This is
the largest Yeomen lodge member
ship in the world and is something to

Dickinson Homestead, presided and
during an intermission called upon
E. G. Coils of Mandan, state manager,
for remarks. Manager Coils called
attention to the fact that tie Yeomen
order, now 18 years old, has men,
bcrship in America of 100000. Of
this number nearly 10000 reside in
North Dakota. Minnesota has 81 ,OOU
members, and Mr.. Coils hopes to
bring the North Dakota membership
up to that figure within few years.
