ALGERIA TEMPLE
NOT TO TAKE PART
IN BIG CEREMONIAL


Apparently the announcement, made
last week by r. Il Robertson Of
Three Forks, pOtentate Of Bagdad
temple, Butte, Of plans for a joint
state Shrine ceremonial to be staged
in BOzeman at the time Of the Round
up next August was a trifle pre-
mature.
At Helena Monday evening the gov
erning body Of Algeria temple, the
largest in the state, decided not Of
ficiaIly TO participate in the event
'accOrding to word brought TO BOze-
man Wednesday by a member Of that
organization.
Algeria, it was explained, has al
ready scheduled a ceremonial for May,
at which time a large class sof caHdi-
dates viii be~initiatea. It-is the pin
ion Of Algeria's officers, it was de-
clared, that to participate in another
ceremonial here in August would in
volve an unwarranted and needless
expense.
In taking its action, however, AL
geria threw no cold water en- Mr..
Robertson's project, and if his pro-
pOsals materialize it is expected 4
number Of Algeria's members will be
here in the role of visitors.
So far as known here at present
Bagdad temple is the only one Of
Montana's Shrine organizations that
has formally approved the PROPOSE
tion. While no word has come from
the Al BedOo temple at Billings, un-
officially it is said that in view Of
Algeria's action, prospects Of its join.
| ing In the venture are somewhat dim
Local hackers Of the plan to stagt
the big ceremonial here at the time
of the Roundup, however, are not dis
cOuraged. They declare that if A
BedoO temple should decide to par
ticipate with Bagdad in the affair
Algeria might be induced to recon
slider its unfavorable action Of Mon
day night. That would insure th
success of the ceremonial and Civ
Bozeman an opportunity to be host t
one of the biggest gatherings in it
history.
Until, therefore, the sentiment o
all three Montana Shrine temples ha
crystallized, all plans fer the pro
posed event are necessarily merel
tentative. 1t is certain, nevertheless.
that Bozman boosters viii be on til
job, and if this community can d
anything to help the project along
viii be done.
A joint ceremonial such as pr
posed would bring, it is estimate.
more than 5000 visitors to Bozemai
including Shriners from nearby state
and others who might be auto tom
ing the Northwest. It is siucerel
hoped that Mr.. Robertson, who hs
devoted much time and energy to Il
plan, win be able to work it out.
doing so he win be given every Al
sistance possible by the business me
Of Bozeman.

New Golf
Colony Suburb
Ocean City Harb0rs Has
Been Almost COntinu-
ally Active
John ]. Foster Developer

Ocean City Harbors, the new
golf colony suburb of Ocean City.
will attract the greater part OF
realty activity foreseen for the
district next season, according TO
the opinion of its realtors. Inc
development was not opened I'M
til the latter part OF last season,
but has enjoyed almost continual
activity since its inception. Sales
in the project are expected TO eA-
coed all previous records, accord
ing to John ]. Foster, founder OF
Ocean City Harbors.
Realtors are almost unanimous
in predicting that real estate &C
tivity in Ocean City during the
coming season will surpass all
records for the state, and rival
those of California and Florida.
The trend of the movement this
year is toward investments in the
new off-shore tracts. The great
activity experienced along the
beachfront last year is expected
to lessen somewhat in favor OF
the more recent developments.
"Since the announcement OF its
opening was first made, ocean
City Harbors has received the IN
terested attention of the shrewd-
est investors and realty operators
in this district" Mr.. Foster SAID
today in discussing the coming
season. Situated at a point OF
unrivalled beauty where every
dream of BODYBUILDING may be
realized, yet within five minutes,
motor drive from the heart OF
Ocean City, the possibilities OF
this unique colony are recognized
by those whose business 1t is to
anticipate realty enhancement
and community growth. y
