all over the country, all of whom were received with open-handed hospitality. The lodge has held regular meetings and, at this time, is in a prosperous condition. It has always exerted a good influence in the community. It has a membership of about forty.
Hope Rebekah Lodge, No. 38 .- This lodge was organized in Spokane, February 18. 1892. It was instituted by Zell M. Beebe, of Colfax. who had been commissioned as special deputy grand master for that purpose. The lodge was instituted in Odd Fellows Hall, in the Odd Fellows Temple on First avenue. This was an important occasion for Odd Fellowship in Spokane. Since that time the helpful influ- ence of woman has aided very materially in building up and extending the influence of the order in this city. The charter members of Hope Lodge were Brothers J. B. Krienbuhl, W. O. Fowler. E. L. Tubbs. G. W. Stocker and John M. Ellis, and Sisters Tillie C. Blakes- lee, Ida L. Downing. Jennie Shirley, Clara Ellis and Carrie L. Bringgold. Brother Ste- phen J. Adams, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Sis- ter Orpha E. Bowers, past noble grand, then a member of Morning Star Lodge, No. 24, of Cheney, were present as visitors and assisted in the services of instituting the lodge. Sis- ter Bowers soon after joined Hope Lodge and has ever since been one of its most active. faithful and efficient members. In 1894 she was elected secretary of the Rebekah Assem- bly of Washington, vice-president in 1895. and president in 1896.
Besides the ten charter members. there were forty-five applications for membership received on the night the lodge was instituted. giving the lodge a membership of fifty-five at its birth. Its first officers were: J. B. Krien- buhl, noble grand; Carrie L. Bringgold, vice- grand; Ida L. Downing, secretary: Jennie Shirley, treasurer.
.
Hope Lodge grew with phenomenal rapid- ity. Its popularity increased at every meet- ing and candidates for membership constantly
blocked its doors. This hive of "associated industry" soon became so full that a swarming occurred and in less than a year and a half sev- eral withdrew to form Imperial Rebekah Lodge. Since its institution Hope Lodge has admitted over two hundred to membership by initiation and twenty-five by card. It now has over one hundred and fifty members in good standing on its rolls.
Imperial Rebekah Lodge, No. 58 .- Soon after the institution of Imperial Lodge. No. 134. a number of its members urged the for- mation of a Rebekah Lodge of the same name. It was believed by many Odd Fellows that a second Rebekah lodge in the city would add interest to that branch of the order, and the proposition met with much favor. Imperial Rebekah Lodge, No. 58. was instituted by Sister Emma E. Shaw, past president of the Rebekah Assembly of Washington, assisted by LeF. A. Shaw, grand secretary of the Grand Lodge of Washington, on the afternoon and evening of June 27. 1893. The meet- ings were held in the hall of Imperial Lodge in the Symons block. The charter members of Imperial Rebekah were: Brothers .A. J. Smith, E. D. Sanders, F. P. Robinson. E. L. Powell and A. W. Strong, and Sisters Lizzie A. Gregory, Maggie E. Sanders, Dora E. Powell, Maggie 1. Blair, Mary L. Strong and Mary E. Smith.
On the night the lodge was instituted one hundred applications for membership were re- ceived, over fifty of whom were initiated that evening. the degree work being done by the degree staff of Hope Lodge. No. 38. who gen- erously tendered their services for this occa- sion. The exemplification of the work was very beautiful and a hearty vote of thanks was voted the members and degree staff of Hope Lodge for their kindness. The first officers of Imperial Lodge were: Lizzie .\. Gregory, noble grand: Mary L. Strong, vice-grand ; Maggie I. Blair, recording secretary: Dora E. Powell. financial secretary; Maggie E. San-

ders, treasurer, and Mary E. Smith, sitting past noble grand and captain of degree team.
Imperial Lodge, from its first meeting, took an active interest in degree work. They procured an elaborate paraphernalia at a cost of nearly eight hundred dollars and were soon able to render the floor work and the ritual- istic work with systematic precision. At the .session of the Grand Lodge of Washington, held in Spokane not quite a year after this lodge was instituted, the degree team of Im- perial put on the work before that grand body, in competition with the well-drilled staff of Hope Lodge, and divided the honors with them.
Imperial Rebekah Lodge began the year 1900 with one hundred and twenty-eight members in good standing, and with the fol- lowing officers: Phœbe A. Burchett, noble grand; Emma Reinhart, vice-grand; Mary Lund, recording secretary; Mary E. Smith, financial secretary ; Nora Seehorn, treasurer.
Wayside Rebekah Lodge, No. 86 .- A dis- pensation for the institution of a Rebekah Lodge at Wayside was granted by Grand Mas- ter Jerry Fortain in January, 1896, but vari- ous matters delayed the organization of the lodge for about three months, and, in the meantime, several other Rebekah lodges had been established in the county. Sister Orpha E. Bowers, at that time vice-president of the Rebekah Assembly of Washington, was com- missioned to institute this lodge. She was accompanied by the degree staff of Hope Lodge, and a number of other sisters and brothers from Spokane.
The charter members of Wayside Lodge were: Jessie Chaney, L. K. Monfort. A. W. Vroman, Charles Long, R. F. Knight, Mollie Mayer, M. Wilson, Belle Huston, John Jones and Z. Lane. Twenty-five candidates were instructed in the mysteries of the Rebekah de- gree and admitted to membership in the lodge. The degree was conferred by the degree staff of Hope Lodge, in full paraphernalia. The
lodge was instituted in the splendid new hall of Morning Star Lodge and an elaborate lunch- eon was served in the lower room by the ladies of the new lodge.
Wayside Lodge was organized with the following officers: Mrs. M. Wilson, noble grand ; Mollie Mayer, vice-grand ; Lillian Gill, recording secretary ; Libbie Eichmeyer, finan- cial secretary; Tillie Jones, treasurer. The lodge now has a membership of nearly fifty and its affairs are in a prosperous condition.
Beacon Rebekah Lodge, No. 91 .- During the month of March, 1896, Grand Master For- tain visited the subordinate lodges in this part of the state and instituted Rebekah Lodges in many localities where none had before existed. Brother Fortain was an enthusiastic believer in the helpfulness of the influence of the Re- bekah lodge in the beneficent work of Odd Fellowship, and urged the organization of Re- bekah lodges wherever the subordinate lodge had been established.
On the occasion of the visit of Brother Fortain to Mead Lodge, No. 146, on the even- ing of March 17, 1896, a number of ladies were present to serve a lunch to the grand master and the large number of visiting brothers who were present from Spokane and elsewhere. The proposition of organizing a Rebekah lodge was advocated, and before morning dawned Beacon Rebekah Lodge, No. 91, was fully instituted and in working order. The charter members were: William G. Cushing. Ollie Cushing, George Bryan, Alice .A. De- weese. M. Austin, Blanche Klingersmith, William Deweese, Cora Lloyd. H. C. Clark. Mary E. Klingersmith, J. J. Piper, Eliza A. Bessey, F. E. Lloyd, Mrs. A. A. Kingston, J. W. Bessey, Anita Piper, A. A. Kingston, Bertha Johnson, J. C. Cowgill, Ruth Wells. G. F. Johnson. Kittie Doust. A. O. Jomes- land, Blanche Purvis, William J. Doust. Mrs. W. J. Albright, C. W. Lewis, Susan Tay- lor. W. J. Albright, Ida Coffman. William Seaton. William H. Coffman, R. W. Harding.

George Taylor, D. B. Roby, Uriam Deweese. The first elective officers of the lodge were: Ollie Cushing, noble grand; Eliva A. Bessey, vice grand; Blanche Klingersmith, secretary ; Cora Lloyd, treasurer.
The success of this lodge has been remark- able. It started with a membership of thirty- six. Every member seemed specially inter- ested in its welfare and its growth has been steady and rapid. At the present writing the membership is above eighty. It is an example for all the other Rebekah lodges in the county.
Siloam Rebekah Lodge, No. 93 .- This lodge was organized by Grand Master Fortain on the occasion of his visit to Medical Lake, March 21, 1896. The charter members were : Charles Maxon, Mary J. Maxon, Mae Maxon, James Glasgow, Ada E. Glasgow, Nellie Gray, Charles E. Ford, Ernest Stockbridge, Emma Graham, Minnie Vaughn, Mrs. J. C. Vaughn, Mrs. C. B. Goldback, Peter Bickelhaupt, Otto Busch, Mrs. Otto Busch, G. W. Maurice, Mrs. G. W. Maurice, Mary Lund, Ed. H. Maxon. The first officers elected and installed were: Miss Mae Maxon, noble grand ; Mary Lund, vice-grand; Emma Graham, secretary; Min- nie Vaughn, treasurer.
Siloam Lodge took its name from the lake on which the town is built, and whose waters possess such remarkable curative properties that it is known as "The Modern Pool of Si- loam." Soon after the institution of this lodge very many of the most active members moved away and the interest began to languish. This depressing state of affairs continued until finally a quorum could not be secured and for more than a year no meetings were held. De- spairing of reviving the lodge, the few remain- ing members packed the charter, rituals and effects of the lodge to be surrendered to the Grand Master.
Such was the condition of affairs in March, 1900, when Grand Master J. H. Davis visited Medical Lake. After considering the situa- tion he decided there was an opportunity here
for a good Rebekah lodge. Assisted by some of the brothers, he began work, and soon had a number of applications for membership. He arranged with the degree staff of Hope Re- bekah Lodge of Spokane to confer the degree on those candidates and such others as might be secured. In accordance with this plan nearly thirty Odd Fellows and Rebekahs from Spokane, including the degree staff from Hope Lodge, drove out to Medical Lake on Satur- day evening April 14, 1900, to revive Siloam Lodge. Several brothers and sisters from Morning Star Lodge, at Cheney, were also in attendance. Two members of Siloam who had been dropped were reinstated and twelve applicants were initiated. This gives the lodge again a good working membership and puts it in a position to do good work. It gives splendid promise of a prosperous and useful career.
Primrose Rebekah Lodge, No. 94 .- This lodge was instituted in Spangle by Jerry For- tain, grand master, March 24, 1896, on the occasion of his visit to Spangle Lodge, No. 50. The charter members of Primrose Lodge were: Dr. J. H. Hoxsey, William Heaton, Mary F. Heaton, D. A. Jones, D. A. Har- ness, R. W. Butler, Hattie Butler, R. C. Stan- field, Lessie Stanfield, W. Nelson, Georgia Parker, Eliza Harness, O. Gildea, J. H. Brooks, Mrs. J. H. Brooks, C. Hoffman, W. T. Milliken and D. U. Gildea. The follow- ing officers were elected and installed by the grand master that evening: Hattie Butler, noble grand; Mary Heaton, vice-grand ; Lessie Stanfield, secretary, and Georgia Parker, treasurer.
Primrose Lodge has had a very encoura- ging history. It has had the active support of the entire membership of the subordinate lodge and has enjoyed a steady and satisfactory growth. At its institution it had but eighteen members. It began the year 1900 with an en- rollment of fifty.
Pansy Rebekah Lodge, No. 95 .- Pansy
.
228
HISTORY OF SPOKANE COUNTY.
Rebekah Lodge was instituted at Rockford, March 25. 1896. by Grand Master Jerry For- tain, with twelve charter members. as follows: R. T. Walls, Maude Walls, S. R. Brockman, Ruby C. Brockman, A. H. Bugbee, Frances Burk, Bertha Burrows, Sophia Erickson. Fred Erickson, J. A. Vess. Cecil T. Thompson and Dora E. Thompson. The lodge was organ- ized with the following officers: Ruby C. Brockman, noble grand : Bertha Burrows, vice-grand; Sophia Erickson, secretary, and Maude Walls, 'treasurer.
Pansy Lodge started with a small mem- bership and its early growth was not rapid. The "faithful few" held firmly to their pur- pose, in spite of discouraging circumstances. and kept up the regular meetings of the lodge. During the year 1899 systematic efforts were made to revive and arouse an interest in the Rebekah work, and these efforts produced very flattering results. New members began to come in and Pansy Lodge took on new life. The degree staff of Hope Lodge, Spokane, were invited and came down to confer the (legree on a class of candidates secured for the occasion. This exemplification of the degree work and the most approved methods of floor work gave an impetus to the lodge such as it had never before received. Since that it has had constant prosperity, and is now in better condition than ever before. Pansy Lodge is one of the live lodges of Spokane county with a splendid roll of fifty members.
Constant Rebekah Lodge, No. 96 .- The last lodge instituted by Grand Master Fortain. on his trip to Spokane county, was Constant Rebekah Lodge, No. 96, at Latah, on the even- ing of March 27. 1896. On his visit to Latah Lodge that evening, his suggestion that a Re- bekah lodge be organized met with a prompt and hearty response. Twenty-four charter members for the new lodge were secured in a short time. Their names were: S. W. Da- vidson, Elizabeth Davidson, E. C. Thompson, Elizabeth Thompson. John Anderson, Vir-
ginia Anderson, Monroe Hanshaw, Amanda E. Hanshaw, John Bozarth, Caroline Bozartli, John Havlick, Nellie e Havlick, Charles James, Rhoda Anderson, Charles Campbell. May Harvey. J. W. Jameson, Nora E. Wat- son, L. H. Thayer. F. L. Tomlinson. Joseph Corwin, Thomas Link. W. M. Poteet and Mahlon Poor.
On the institution of the lodge. the follow- ing officers were elected and installed: Eliza- beth Thompson, noble grand; Elizabeth Da- vidson, vice-grand: Nora Emma Watson, sec- retary. and Rhoda Anderson, treasurer.
This lodge was established under what seemed to be very flattering conditions. It had a splendid membership and seemed to pos- sess an aggressive spirit. Important results were hoped for, but. for some unknown rea- son, its affairs have been allowed to languish. The lodge closed the year 1899 with but nine- teen members. . \ revival is being talked of. and before the year 1900 closes it is expected that Constant Rebekah Lodge will have taken on new life and energy.
The Patriarchs Militant, Canton Spokane, No. 2 .- The Patriarchs Militant branch of Odd Fellowship was introduced into Spokane by the institution of Canton Spokane on the evening of April 22, 1890. This was the sec- ond canton organized in the state of Wash- ington. Walla Walla. No. 1. having been in- stituted but a short time previous, but Canton Spokane was the first body of Odd Fellows in the state to secure their military suits and to appear in the regulation uniform.
The Royal Purple Patriarchs who peti- tioned for the right to be chartered as a canton and who composed the charter members of Canton Spokane, No. 2, were: William A. Woodruff. R. N. Mclean. J. F. C. Abel. E. 1 .. Wilson, Harry F. Baer. George T. Jameson. William J. Shaner, Benjamin Scheeline, An- drew P. Orr. William D. Valentine. A. C. Ed- wards, Lynden A. Robinson, J. B. Krienbuhl. Ole R. Nestos. E. P. Gillette. F. P. Robinson.

HISTORY OF SPOKANE COUNTY.
A. G. Ansell and J. Landis Miller. The can- ton was instituted in a hall then used by the Knights of Pythias in the Daniel block, on the corner of Howard street and Main avenue. The instituting officer was Hon. C. S. Scott. past grand patriarch, then holding the posi- tion of lieutenant-colonel on the staff of Lieu- tenant-General John C. Underwood, then the commander-in-chief of the Patriarchs Mili- tant. Col. Scott was very proficient in the work of this branch of the order and made these services most impressive. There were eighteen who received the degree on the night of institution and several others joined soon after. Nearly all of them ordered a hand- some uniform and the canton made a very striking and beautiful appearance whenever called out on public parade.
The first officers were: Andrew P. Orr. captain : Harry F. Baer, lieutenant ; O. R. N'estos, ensign ; E. P. Gillette, clerk: William D. Valentine, accountant : William A. Wood- ruff. standard bearer: E. L. Wilson, guard : R. N. McLean. picket ; and F. P. Robinson. sentinel.
Canton Spokane had a very prosperous ex- istence until the coming of the financial depres- sion when so many suffered such severe finan- cial reverses. All branches of the order suf- fered during this period, but the Cantons most of all. This feature of the order was regarded as largely ornamental and was usually dropped first. The faithful few of Canton No. 2. who had learned the true lesson of patriotism and universal justice, taught in this degree, held firmly to the organization and to them is due the credit of keeping it alive and perpetuating Patriarchs Militant Odd Fellowship in Spo- kane. A large number of members from time to time ceased to answer to their names at roll call. but earnest work secured enough others to keep the Canton alive.
Soon after its institution Canton Spokane purchased a very handsome banner, one of the most beautiful ever exhibited by any order in
this state. All the other equipments of the Canton are in keeping with this beautiful Can- ton badge. Since 1897 Canton No. 2 has taken on new life. A large number of new members were secured, old ones were reinstated and the meetings grew more interesting and were bet- ter attended. Major Robert A. Muhs, the de- partment commander of Washington, is a member of this canton. Major Muhs ob- tained his first military experience as a mem- ber of Col. Joseph Bobletter's crack company of the Minnesota National Guard at New Ulm Later he served nearly three years as a member of Company B. Second Regiment, Washing- ton National Guard, of Spokane. being hon- orably discharged when the regiment was ordered into the volunteer service of the Uni- ted States at the beginning of the Spanish- American war.
In 1896 a second canton was organized in Spokane, in the hope that fraternal rivalry might be an incentive to more rapid growth 1. this branch of the order. It soon became ap- parent that the desired results could not be reached in that way. So small a percentage of Odd Fellows join the canton that it would be difficult to maintain two separate military companies in Spokane with sufficient members in each to make a creditable appearance when on parade. Consolidation of the two cantons was proposed and finally agreed upon by unan- imous vote in each body. By the terms of this agreement Canton Fortuna surrendered its charter, name and number, and became a part of Canton Spokane. The consolidation oc- curred on the evening of February 23. 1900. The services were in charge of Major R. A. Muhs, department commander of Washington. A large number of canton members were pres- ent and the evening was one of the most en- joyable ever spent in the circles of Odd Fellow- ship in Spokane. For the interests of the order. the consolidation of Cantons Spokane and For- tuna was one of the most important events that has ever occurred in this county. The

military rank, being the highest in the order, is regarded as the most representative, and to the extent in which it shows strength and vigor will its influence be felt. This consolidation gave Canton Spokane a membership in excess of eighty, and placed it among the strongest organizations of that character in the west.
At this writing, the officers of Canton Spo- kane are: Ben F. Davis, captain; W. T. Horr, lieutenant; . T. J. Rubican, ensign; Wm. F. Conners, clerk ; G. A. Kline, accountant.
The Encampment Branch-North Star En- campment, No. 6 .- The encampment branch of Odd Fellowship was established in Spokane by the institution of North Star Encampment, No. 6, on October 28, 1883. This encampment was instituted by H. E. Holmes, grand repre- sentative, on a dispensation granted by the Sovereign Grand Lodge and signed by Eric J. Leech, grand sire. The charter members were: J. B. Kreinbuhl, J. F. C. Abel and G. Palmtag, all members of the Royal Purple de- gree, who joined by card, and James A. Baird, J. E. Sipe, Charles Wilson, J. J. Piper, Robert Doty, Frank Zeigler and J. Landis Miller, the last seven being members of the Scarlet degree who were given the three encampment degrees that evening, in order to join in the petition for an encampment and to become charter members thereof. These proceedings were had under a special dispensation granted by Grand Sire Leech, as authorized by the Sov- ereign Grand Lodge held in Providence, Rhode Island, in September, 1883. Grand Representative Holmes had taken with him to that session the petition and application for an encampment in Spokane, and, through his ef- forts, the petition was granted, and he was commissioned special deputy grand sire to in- stitute the encampment. Bro. Holmes commu- nicated with the brethren in Spokane, appris- ing them of his success, and arranged to stop off in Spokane on his return from Sovereign Grand Lodge and organize this encampment, which plan was carried out.
North Star Encampment was organized in a hall in the upper story of a frame building on the east side of Howard street and just north of Riverside avenue, where the Tell block now stands. After the work of putting the new encampment in working order had been accomplished, a splendid banquet was served by Bro. W. S. Mack, who then con- ducted Mack's restaurant in the Zeigler block, near the lodge room. The first officers of the new encampment were : J. B. Krienbuhl, chief patriarch ; Frank Zeigler, high priest; J. F. C. Abel, senior warden; Charles Wilson, scribe ; G. Palmtag, treasurer; J. E. Sipe, junior war- den.
The organization of North Star Encamp- ment was gladly welcomed by the other five in the state, as it gave assurance of a Grand En- campment, which was organized in Walla WValla May 14, 1884. Odd Fellowship was not strong in Spokane in those early days, and North Star Encampment had but a limited growth for several years. Being the first en- campment organized north of the Snake river, it drew a few members from lodges outside of Spokane, but these were not able to attend its meetings regularly and were of but little ben- efit in building up the interests of the encamp- ment. Of the home members, many were called away to other fields, owing to the then tran- sitory character of the population of this sec- tion, and North Star had a struggle for its ex- istence. Spokane Lodge, No. 17, treated the new society with much leniency in remitting rents and giving it all possible hall privileges. Four or five years after the institution of this encampment, interest in Odd Fellowship in Spokane began to awaken, and North Star shared in the prevailing prosperity. Its mem- bership roll began to grow, and the regular meetings were full of interest and work. It was a period of growth and prosperity which placed the encampment on a substantial basis.
In 1893 a number of Odd Fellows in Spo- kane thought it would be to the interests of the
231
HISTORY OF SPOKANE COUNTY.
order to establish a second encampment, and Unique Encampment, No. 32, was organized. The two encampments worked along together for nearly six years, when it became evident to a large majority of the members that the wel- fare of the order was not being best served by having their energies divided in this branch of the work. A joint committee was appointed from the two encampments, and their deliber- ations took form in an agreement for consoli- dation. This agreement was ratified, and North Star surrendered its charter and was merged into and became a part of Unique, No. 32, on March 17, 1899.
Unique Encampment, No. 32 .- This en- campment was instituted on the afternoon and evening of June 16, 1893, in Odd Fellows' hall, in the temple of Spokane Lodge, No. 17, on First avenue. A dispensation for the or- ganization of this encampment was granted by the grand patriarch, A. F. Hoska, of Tacoma, who commissioned J. B. Kreinbuhl as special deputy grand patriarch for this occasion. A large number of the members of North Star assisted in the institution and conferred the three degrees on the twenty-nine candidates who presented themselves that evening. The charter members of Unique were: J. H. Cot- ter, P. C. P .; W. P. Harris, Benjamin M. Howe, C. M. Poor, G. W. Stocker, E. L. Pow- ell and D. W. Montgomery, who were patri- archs of the Royal Purple degree. A large number of encampment members were pres- ent, an elegant banquet was spread, and Unique began life under the most favorable conditions. Though started in the midst of the most depressing business conditions, the encampment grew and prospered from its in- itial meeting. Its promoters were active and aggressive, and were possessed of the most abiding faith in the new encampment. They made a specialty of putting on the degree work in an attractive manner. In exemplifying the principles and teachings of the Patriarchal degrees, the members of Unique Encampment
