GRAND MASTER
 H0N0RS LOCAL,
 LODGE MASONS

Mount Mckinley Lodge No. 183, F. and A. M. had the honor last night of officially receiving James H. Begg, Grand Master of the Most WOr- shipful Grand Lodge of Free and Ac- cepted Mason of the State of Wash ington. The third degree was con- ferred by the Grand Master, an un- usual privilege and distinction for the brothers concerned, as it was the first time that a degree has been con- ferred in this lodge by a grand mas ter. The trip of inspection and visi- tation now being carried on by Grand Master Begg is the first time in the history of Alaska Masonry that the Alaska lodges have been visited by a grand master.
 An informal reception will be given for Grand Master Begg this evening at the Masonic hall. Ar arrangements are being made jointly by Mount Mckinley Lodge of Masons and Cordova Chapter No. 4, o. E. S. All masons in Cordova as we'll as their families are invited to be pres ent and meet the grand master. Refreshments will be served by the ladies and a pleasant time is as- sured. The meeting will be address ed by the grand master.
 Saturday evening will conclude the official ceremonies of reception to Grand Master Begg, when special meeting of Mount Mckinley Lodge will be held, at which all masons in ithis vicinity are expected to be pres ent, and at which Grand Master Begg will deliver his official mes sage to the masons of Alaska.

C0RD0VAN IS IGNORED BY
 REPUBLICANS

Attorney Frank H. Foster, of this city, has been appointed Divisional Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee of the Republican Nation al Committee by Territorial Chair man R. E. Robertson, of Juneau, and the selection meets with the ap- provaI of the local members of that party. In his letter to MT. Foster his duties are outlined by Mr. Robert son as follows:
 ''As Divisional Chairman of your division, I presume that you will ap- point a local chairman for each of the several communities in the third division, so that we can arouse as much interest as possible in Republi- cans assisting to raise funds with which the Republican National Com mittee will be enabled to make a pro- per campaign this fall and place Senator Harding in, the presidents chair.
 T take the liberty of calling to your attention the statement of Sen ator Harding in his speech of accep- tance, i. e.: Alaska, alone, is rich in resources beyond all imagination, and needs only closer linking, through the lines of transportation, and a gov ernmental policy that both safe guards and encourages development, to speed it to a foremost position as a commonWe rugged in cit izenship and rich in materialized re- sources"
 Chairman Will H. Hays has laid down the policy that contributions will neither be solicited nor accepted for larger amounts than $1,0O0 The Saturday Evening Post of the 7th inst. contains a very commendatory editorial on this policy of MT. Hays, and we need have. no hesitency of collecting small contributions. I pre- sume that most of our contributions will be in sums of from $1.OO to $500, but we ought to obtain a goodly number of $2500 contribu- tions, and possibly some even larg- CT than that.
