By reading the same, by J. H. Rathbone. After
taking OF the oath on motion it was resolved
that this order be styled the Knights Of Pythias"
Those who thereupon took the oath and &C.
cordingly became charter members, or In other
words became the first members Of this organi-
zation, were: Justus H. Rathbone, clerk in
Surgeon Generals ONCE; Joel n. woodruff,
clerk in Quartermaster Generals once; Joseph

from the beginning, it is said, the original
J intention was to admit to membership only
clerks employed in the several Government de-
partments, and with the exception Of Joseph
T. K. Plant this seems TO have been true Of
the charter members.

attended the meeting Of February 10, but not
mentioned here, were also invited to this
meeting.
Not having handy the city directory for 1864,
the writer looked in the following year, 1865:
but Mr. Champions name did not appear,
though he did satisfy himself ON one particular
point, namely, that $50 r street was the site
Of the old Herndon House. then being conducted
by p. @. Murray. The number OF the Model
House, opposite-S. w. Kipp proprietor-at that
date was 36S street, and it stood where the
old Masonic Temple Is now located.
1t was in the Herndon House where part,
at least, Of the Lincoln conspiracy was Matched.
After being remodeled, this old hotel was
turned into ONCE quarters and called the st.
Cloud Building. On this corner now stands
the handsome granite building Of the wash
ington Loan & Trust Co. All those mentioned
as being In attendance on February Is, with
the exception Of Robert A. Champion, were
members Of an old singing society then much
In demand and known Is the Arion Glee Club.
THE natal day Of the order occurred four
days later on February 49, 1864. in the
building known by many Of us as Marini's
Hall, stin standing at Ga e street northwest,
but which at that time was called Temperance
Hail. because it was erected by the Freeman's
ing laid in July, 1e43, and the building first oc-
cupied four years later. George Savage was
the president of the temperance society, Darius
Clagett, treasurer. and J. L. Henshaw, financial
secretary, and the lot upon which the building
was erected was donated by John p. Van Ness.
At this meeting "after the usual vocal re-
hearsa" of the club we are told mr.. Rath-
bone produced his ritual and small Bible.
Each Of the gentlemen above named was OBJ
Iigated upon this Bible not to reveal that

that can be traced to the progressive spirit and
business ability Of the people Of the District Of
Columbia
OF the fraternal organizations started here,
one which became world factor, and which
is still in healthy condition, is the Knights
Of Pythias. Born during the days Of the
great struggle between the North and the
South. its early days were not without trouble
and friction, and some of the lodges estab-
lished, including its very first one. surrendered
their charters or became merged with other
subordinate bodies soon after being organized.
But the order thrived here and elsewhere. and,
by December 81, 1868, had total enrolled
membership Of approximately S4.628. At one
time IN its history it had almost million
members.
Looking back over the records Of this wen
known organization, the writer finds that the
original meeting referred to as simply
friendly conference, ct which the formation
only was discuSsed-was held In the room Of
Robert A. Champion, 500 r street northwest
(old numbering), on February Is, 1854 and

assume, takes into considera-
ton the great handicap under which we live
and have our being he will undoubtedly say
that the residents of the Capital City Of the
American Nation are the greatest and most re-
sourceful people on the face of the globe
Knowing our own conditions so much better
than does any one else, naturally to us it Is
tragic to hear some outsider say that We do
not know what to do with our resources; how
to take advantage of our opportunities; how
to dispose Of the things we manufacture; nor,
perhaps, how to induce visitors to come here

our merchandise.

rectly or indirectly by the Federal Govern
ment; that all money collected for taxes Is
turned into the United States Treasury and
released therefroCn only by congressional
act; and that, however remarkable as It may
seem, even under these circumstances, the
people of Washington are now selling nearly q
hundred million dollars worth Of products
which they manufacture annually.
If the territory in closely Maryland and
Virginia were included-and 1t is largely occu-
pied by District people-even this big amount
would be considerably enlarged.
It is not strange that the nonresident
should lack information about our city, but it
is strange when, apparently without that
knowledge, he fails to give US fun credit tor
all we have done In the past; for what we are
doing today, and what we are planning to do
in the future.
Some folks hardly realize that many Of
the most formidable projects Of all time were
launched right here. Some Of the greatest
patriotic and fraternal organizations known TO
civilization get their start IN Washington, and
the greatest armada OF flying machines the
world has ever known-recently witnessed on
the Potomac River-would not have been pos
sible had it not been for the pioneer work IN
aviation Of Samuel P. Langley, conducted IN
this city years ago.

Chick Ferguson To Be
In w. PIT Stampede Week

The many friends of Chick Fer
guson will be interested to know
that he is going to be in Vol
Point during the Stampede. He
just recently returned from the
far north where he has spent
three years trapping. He and Mrs.
Ferguson are visiting at their old
home in Tioga. N. Oak. In making
the trip from the north they flew
1000 miles, traversing in III hours
territory that would have taken
80 days to cover by other means.
They had many interesting ex-
periences in the Northland, some
of which Mrs. Ferguson described
in magazine articles.
During Stampede Mr.. Ferguson
will be at the Loveioy Studio and
may possibly have charge OF the
studio while the Lovejoys are
away on a vacation later. He was
formerly proprietor of the studio
here before going into the north.

GEO. H. FLINT
STATE AGENT
ASSUMES DUTIES, AMERICAN
GROUP FIRE INSURANCE
COMPANIES

George H. Flint, we'll known
banker and business man of long
residence in this city, is now
Montana state representative of
the American Group of standard
fire insurance companies and has
entered upon his new duties.
The position is virtually a state
agency and carries with it many
responsibilities arising from the
relations between the companies
and their local agents and risks.
The territory includes besides the
whole of Montana, sections of
northern Utah and eastern Idaho.
The position taken by Mr.. Flint
was filed for many years by Fred
Merrigold who recently died at
his home in Kalispel1. There were
more than forty applications for
the job but it was offered to the
local man, who has had long ex-
perience in insurance, without his
having made an application. A
distinct tribute to Mr.. F1int's re-
cord as a successful business man.
Entering this new field in no
way affects the local business in

Flint who will continue as a stock.

BARELY ESCAPES FATE
OF HIS PREDECESSOR

The operating room of station
KICK, last Monday morning,
came near to being the scene of
another tragic death as sudden as
that of Stuart Beeman last sum-
mer.
Announcer George Bairey, who
has been with the station several
months, believing that one of the
batteries was not functioning
properly stepped into the operat-
ing room to Investigate. While
swapping a finger against a bat
terry connection he thoughtlessly
supported himself by holding to
something that has a ground con-
nection. Three thousand volts, or
more than passed through Bee
man, was the shock he received
for a fraction of a second. A
finger on one hand was deeply
burned and a fame of fire flashed
from the other hand. He walked
out of the room but had some
anxious minutes wondering what
the consequences might be. The
shock that Beeman received did
not affect him fatally for several
minutes. Bairey says it will not
happen to him again.

pleasant picnic Saturday after
noon at the bridge site. MFR. and
Mrs. Charles Eggers of Shawnee,
Okla, and the Poplar Women's
club were the honor guests.
Mr.. Eggers, former superinten-
dent of the Fort Peck agency at

describing his work in the Okla
homa district. Mrs. Eggers also
told of the various activities of
the women. Games were played
and egg and peanut races were
run. A bountiful lunch was then
served. Mrs. Robert Granger,
president of the Indian Women's
at Poplar, extended a cordial
invitation to the Wolf Point club
to attend a social meeting in hon

FOLKS WANT TO COME;
NEW FEATURES

Inquiries from the farthest
parts of the United States is
ample proof of the popularity of
the Wolf Point Stampede, and the
thoroughness with which it has
been advertised. We have every
reason to believe, said o. c.
Johnson, secretary of the Siam
pede committee. that the 1881
show will eclipse all others Sn
point of attendance, and that it
will be fully up to the standard
of excellence that has made the
Stampede so widely popular. The
management has spared no means
as its command to make the 18th
annual as full as possible of a di-
versity entertainment.
New Stuff
There are several new and out
standing attractions this year.

MONTANA DEPRESSION
BEATS SOME PROSPERITY
AFTER $500 MILE TRIP HOME
STATE LOOKS GOOD TO
j. n. COFFEY

]. H. Coffey and family return
ed Sunday morning from &
months trip which took them as
far as Stuttgart, Ark, Mrs. Cor
fey's old home. They also visited
relatives in Kansas. At Tulsa they
had a nice visit with j. B. Mont
gomery. They travelled about
$500 miles on the trip.
In Kansas they went to the
place where Knute Rockne met
his tragic death. Mr.. Coffey said
he was told that after the crash,
visitors took away so many SOU
venirs of the wreck, that there
was little left by the time govern
ment inspectors came to check up
on the accident.
Crops from Fargo on looked
fine, said Mr.. Coffey, but in spite
of that he found in the midst of
seeming abundance a depression
such as has never been known in
Even with conditions
as they are this year." Mr.. Coffey
said, "I'd rather be here than any
place / visited" He went on to
say that one good crop with a fair
price for products would put this
country on its feet. but that many
Of the states farther east would
not recover from their depression
for many years.
The business quiet was particu-
larly noticeable in Oklahoma oil
dehs, which during recent years
have been favored with an unus-
nal boom. Many employees have
,een laid OF and others who have
been earning, perhaps $3.50 a
month, are glad to work for 800.

America is responsible tor this
