SPOKANE MASONIC ORDERS

An Epic Pageant Calling for Cast Of
One Hundred With Another Hun
bred in Chorus.

All the Masonic fraternities of Spo-
kane unite in sponsoring and present
ing to the general public "The Crafts
man." beautiful spectacle conceived,
written and staged by James w. Ev-
ans. Those who have read the manu-
script and have heard some of the in
spring anthems from the production,
describe it as being on a par with
"The Wayfarer," Seattle's great epic,
If not better.
The cast of a hundred people and
the chorus of like number will be
sumptuously costumed and Spokane
and the Inland Empire can look for
ward to a treat in the staging of a
great play in most cosmopolitan
manner, using all the modern stage,
lighting and technical equipment af-
forded by the new, up-to-the-minute
Masonic Auditorium.
The dates as set forth in the con-
tract with Mr.. Evans, just recently
signed, are April Is to % inclusive,
and it is the plan to give two perform
ances each evening, using a double

is the biggest production ever attempt
ed by Spokane talent and rehearsals
are now intensively under way.

Thebes casts a spell that is hard to

been two baths I'd had, so grand had
it all been. You see, baths are extra
seven lire each-both baths and tea

The auto took us to the train for
Pasture as the roads were too poor
to drive further and waited for our re-
turn at Vetrix, another good stopping
place.
Between opportunities and attempts
to appreciate the monument before us,
| told my erstwhile knight about my
adventures with Arab and camel on
the way out. We were almost more
anxious to escape the Arabs than to
see more of the Sphinx, so we were
glad to remount and start back. My
camel man still looked a bit put out
and when my escort said something
about keeping his wife's camel close
to his the poor Arabs face expressed
questioning doubt followed by disgust
and resignation, and he fell in line
and doggedly plodded back to Mena
at the heels of the other camel.
The morning after restful night
in our spacious room started another
clear bright day. The Temple of Luxor
was only block away, and under the
guidance of a hugely fat Arab, whose
head was wound with a thick white
turban, our group explored the many
halls of the temple. There were the
marvellous columns, the statues of an
cient monarchs, the reliefs on the
walls, among them one of King Tut
ankhamen pouring out libation. In
side one of the halls of this ancient
pagan temple are the remains of the
arch and two Greek columns of the
apse of a Christian church and built
on the high ground above one of the
pylons is a mosque from whose min
aret a muezzin was calling Moslems
to MONDAY prayer. We succumbed to
the guides alluring suggestion of
cooling sail boat ride on the Nile be-
fore luncheon and sailed up past Bella
Donna House made famous by Robert
Kitchens.
In the afternoon carriages took us
to the Temple of Karnak about five
miles away. The extent of the area
covered by the temple in its entirety
is astonishing. The construction of
the whole extends over quite a Pc
riod of time, comprising the work of
several kings. A single huge lotus
flower column perpetrates the men,
DRY of the Ethiopian ruler, Taharka.
In the great hypostyle hall is the stone
framework of the windows which of
old admitted light from above into the
mysterious darkness of the temple. In
cluded within the temple precincts are
several sacred lakes. At little dis
lance from the most famous portion of
Karnak is a small chapel still rooted,
consisting of one very dark chamber
adjoined by another containing a
statue of the cat-headed GOODIES Sech-

junction obtained six weeks ago by
the United Hebrew Trades against
the Retail Grocery and Dairy Clerks
Union.
In refusing to continue the order
Justice May rendered what is consid-
cred an important decision.
mo injunction can be granted to
restrain any organization from
proselyting to develop it's numerical
strength" his decision said.
Decision Qualified.
Certain qualifications are contained
in the decision, however, by which the
injunction may again be issued ain
the event the defendant resorts to
illegal methods"
The members of the Retail Grocery
and Dairy Clerks Union of Greater
New York recently began an active
organization campaign. When the
officials of the United Hebrew Trades
sought to dictate the policies of the
union, the grocery clerks removed
several of their followers who had
been operating against the interests
of the union. Thereupon the right
wing attempted to organize a dual
union.
