investment of about $500, 900 at Nor
man. The building is fireproof, has
every modern convenience, and has
been planned according to the latest
ideas for the accommodation of stu
dents. 1t accommodates 120 boys at
a nominal rental.
Too much, however, should not be
said about the material side Of Masonry
and 1t sbuildings, for that might give a
wrong impression of what it is seeking
to attain. All Of these structures are
but a means to an end, and that is the
uplift of humanity. Throughout Okla
homa today Masons are engaged In
activities everywhere for the better
men of schools, for the education par
ticularly of illiterates and foreigners.
Masons everywhere are strong support
ers of the churches. II is law OF
Masonry that politics shall never be
taken into Masonic lodge, but Masons
do not interpret that to mean that Ma
sons should not take part in politics
and in the use of the word politics
here. il is not in it's ordinary meaning,
but in the meaning of good govern
ment. In numbers Of communities IN
Oklahoma, Masons and Masonic lodges
as such have taken part in the cleo
tions-not as the advocates Of any party
or faction, but as the advocates fol-
the election Of better men-and In
many of these instances, they have
overturned corrupt administration Of
city and county affairs.
The criticism has often been made
made of Masonry in the past that II
had beautiful ideals, but nothing prac
teal ever came of them. Masonry II
Oklahoma is negativing this statement
now, for the Masons of Oklahoma foi
the last few years have been very earn
est into carrying the teachings the,
receive in the lodge into evryday busi
ness life,, and none can doubt that The
result is better cities and bettei
state.

WEST VIRGINIA OIL
FIELD OVERSTOCKED

( PARKERSBURG, w. Va.-Taking
Of oil from the fields of West Virginia
has practically been stopped by an Or
der of the Eureka Pipe Line company
which was issued from headquarters
of the company here to the effect that
all tankage is overcrowded and that
the receipts of oil during the past three
months have so greatly exceeded the
deliveries that 1t will be possible, in the
immdiate future, to only take oil from
leases where the tanks are filled and
there is danger Of an overflow.

Masons and Masonry seem so much
part of the life of Oklahoma today
that one is apt to think of it rs hav'
ing always been so. In every commu-
nifty of any size in the state, much as a
in matter of course that little thought
is ever given to the days when Ma
sonry started in oklahoma; and yet
those days are not so far in the dis
tant past. Three Masonic lodges were
established in old Indian Territory in
the latter part of the fifties, the first
one being at Flint in the Cherokee Ma
ton, the second one near the present
site Of Eufaula in the Creek Nation,
and the third at Doakesville in the
Choctaw Nation. These three lodges,
however, had barely gotten started
when they were broken up by the war.
Most of the members having enlisted
in the army. the lodges went out OF
existence, the buildings in which they
met were all burned and the furniture
all destroyed They were revived, how
ever, after the war was over The first
lodge to be organized after the war
was at Boggy Depot in 1869. Father
j. S. Murrow Of Atoka was the first
master of this lodge.
The grand lodge Of old Indian Ter
ritory-now the grand lodge Of Okla
homa, was formed in 1874. Only three
lodges We're represented at that meet
ing( being Muskogee lodge located al
Eufaula, Doakesville lodge, and Caddo
lodge G.. Mcpherson was elected the
first grand master and r. p. Jones the
first grand secretary. Muskogee lodge
of Eufaua, which became No. l In
the grand lodge, evidently was in fail
financial condition at that time, for in
the minutes OF this meeting is found
resolution authorizing the officers tC
borrow $4,000 from Muskogee lodge
No. / at Eufaula for the purpose ol
purchasing a seal and defraying the
other expenses Of the grand lodge. II
is a far cry from that day to this wher
the grand lodge Of Oklahoma has in
vestments in government bonds ant
other securities and real estate to az
amount of $500, 900; when the Blu'
Lodge at Bartlesvllle occupies a build
| ing costing a half million dollars, II
which II has what is said to be thu
finest Blue Lodge quarters in the Unit
ed States; and when from one end o
Oklahoma to the other, the lodges have
already built and continue TO built
quarters for themselves, the aggregate
of which will run into millions Of dol
lars.
The Scottish Rite bodies at Guthrie
are building. and have well along to
wards completion, a building which
when completed and fully equipped
will cost 81, 900, 900, and will be one O
the finest Masonic buildings in the en-
tire world The Scottish Rite bodies
at McAlester have built a magnificent
temple there which they have out
grown, and have the foundation in fol
a new temple to accommodate the in
creasing membership. They have bull
fine dormitory building, which fur
nishes sleeping quarters for more thar
a hundred members. which Is used fol
| the active workers who attend the re
unions: but probably OF more moment
than all this is the dormitory building
which the McAlester bodies have bull

Believe Skeleton
That of Officer

Orlando, Fla, Dec. 21.-Belief that
a skeleton found in swamp "a miles
west of Orlando this morning by three
hunters is that of former army off,
Ger was expressed tonight by Francis
karel, sheriff of Orange county.
Sheriff Karel said that the body had
evidently been in the swamp at least
year. The only mark Of identified
ton found was collar button In
which the initial "B" was carved.
Boots, such as are worn by cavalry
officers and an officers cap yere found
Ecar the skeleton.
The sheriff brought the skull to
this city in the belief that he may be
able to identify the victim through
teeth found. There were two gold
teeth evidences Of bridge work on
others and several filings. If the
skeleton is that of an army officer, the
sheriff believes it may be identified
through the war department.
The sheriff also advanced the
theory that the officer may have
met with foul play, as rib was found
broken and the clothing had appar-
emily been stripped of insignia.

tain Cooper announced that the men
