always succeeded in convincing the candidate that he had received full value for the money expended. In a short time Unique had out- stripped North Star in membership, and when the proposition to consolidate came, being the stronger encampment, Unique claimed, and was conceded, the right to retain its name and charter.
The consolidation of North Star and Unique Encampments was consummated on the evening of March 17, 1899. The exercises were conducted by Hon. Lewis F. Hart, grand patriarch of the Grand Encampment of Washı- ington, who made the journey from Republic to Spokane for that purpose. By this consoli- dation Unique Encampment added to its mem- bership forty-five patriarchs, replenished its treasury by the addition of several hundred dollars, and secured a handsome outfit of re- galia and paraphernalia. This consolidation did much to unify the members of this branch of the order, and was immediately followed by the most rapid increase in membership ever known in Spokane. During the six months ending December 31, 1899, the names of twenty-nine new members were added to the rolls of Unique Encampment. The ambition of the patriarchs in Spokane is to make this one of the largest and best working encamp- ments in the west. Its regular meetings are held on the evenings of the first and third Fri- days of each month.
Three of the members of Unique Encamp- ment, at the present writing, hold office in the Grand Encampment of Washington. Frank P. Robinson is grand patriarch, J. B. Krien- buhl is grand treasurer, and George W. Stocker, who was the first to be made a past chief by Unique, is grand scribe.
The present officers of Unique Encamp- ment are : J. J. White, chief patriarch; Walter Q. Webb, high priest; J. T. Rubican, senior warden; W. F. Parker, junior warden; John Hearn, scribe; Frank P. Robinson, financial scribe, and J. H. Cotter, treasurer. This is

BENEVOLENT AND PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS.
A profound mystery confronts the his- torian who attempts to explain the amazing growth that has resulted from so small a be- ginning as that of the Benevolent and Protec- tive Order of Elks.
Some thirty-two years ago a little band of theatrical and musical people, with bohemian tendencies, used to gather in various places- presumably restaurants and dressing rooms- around the city of New York, their principal object being to have a good time. That they should have founded an organization which to- day presents in numbers, in wealth, in public esteem and popularity so marked a distinction from nearly every other order in this country, is certainly wonderful and grand. To trace its progress step by step is but a short and simple story.
Fifteen comprised the original list of those who at first, under the name of "Jolly Corks." formed the nucleus of what has now reached nearly sixty thousand in over five hundred cities of this great country.
The prime mover in the formation of this little society was Charles Algernon Sidney Vivian, the son of an English clergyman, who had but a short time previous landed in New York, and who was at the time singing in the old American theater on Broadway, and whose memory is now honored and revered by the thousands of Elks throughout the land, as the founder of the order.
So popular did the "Corks" become among the members of the profession, and so_rapidly did the society increase both in numerical and financial strength, that it soon became evident that it should be placed on a firmer basis and given a more dignified name. Vivian, as "Im- perial Cork" of the organization, was chair- man of a committee appointed for that pur-
pose, and suggested the name of "Buffaloes," the title of a social organization of which he had been a member in England; but the ma- jority were desirous of a name that was purely American in its suggestions, and at a meeting on February 16. 1868. the name of "Elks" was adopted by the close vote of eight to seven. and that date has since been regarded and ob- served as the natal day of the Order of Elks.
At this time there were two degrees of the order, the chief officer in the first degree being known as the right honorable primo, and in the second degree as exalted ruler. These titles were used until the adoption of the ritual of 1883, when all the titles of the first degree were abolished, and those of the second degree retained throughout the entire work.
Constitution and by-laws were adopted in March, 1868. The constitution contained fif- teen articles, and there were twenty-one rules and regulations. The committee which pre- pared the document was composed of Messrs. Geo. F. McDonald, Wm. Sheppard. Charles Vivian, E. N. Platt and Thos. G. Riggs. The able manner in which these gentlemen per- formed the duties assigned to them will be best realized when it is remembered that, al- though the growth of the order has rendered necessary a number of additions and some changes, the constitution as adopted thirty-one years ago is substantially the basis of Elk jurisprudence to-day.
Mr. Vivian, as right honorable primo. pre- sided at the first session of the newly reorgan- ised order, but on his leaving New York and Philadelphia he was succeeded by Richard R. Steirly. New members were enrolled at each succeeding meeting, and more suitable quarters were soon obtained on the upper floor of Mili- tary hall at No. 193 Bowery. On April 16, 1868. the first ball of the order was given at Farraro's assembly rooms, at the corner of Broadway and Twenty-eighth street, on the site of the present Fifth Avenue theatre, The first annual benefit was held at the Academy of

Music on June 8th, and in the announcements there was an apparent effort to give to the order an exclusively theatrical feature: the original notices announcing the first annual benefit of the "Performers' Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks."
In April. 1870, arrangements were made for the occupancy of Masonic, now Clarendon hall. on Thirteenth street. and the initiation fee which had been raised by small amounts to ten dollars, was now increased to twenty dollars in consequence of the great additional expense to be borne. . At about the same time a pass-word, to be changed semi-annually, was adopted, and at the meeting of May 24, 1870. the word "integrity" was appropriately se- lected as pass-word for the ensuing six months. On November 27th it was determined that the lodge set apart an evening for the purpose of inviting "Our mothers, wives, sisters and fe- male friends to our social session, and that no male friends be admitted on that evening." On Christmas day the first ladies' social was held. and reports, still in existence, indicate that it was a great success.
It was not long before the fame of the young organization began to spread and create a desire for the propagation of its principles, which had also broadened, upon other soil. In order to accomplish this it became neces- sary for New York Lodge, which had become an incorporated body, to surrender its control of affairs to a Grand Lodge, which was done in February, 1871, the Grand Lodge being composed of the fifteen original founders of the order and all the past and then present officers of New York Lodge. On March 10, 1871, the Grand Lodge was given a charter by the state of New York, with power to issue charters to subordinate lodges throughout the country. On the same day New York Lodge. No. I. was chartered by the Grand Lodge, and two days later a charter was issued to Phila- delphia Lodge, No 2.
Ever since the organization of the Grand
Lodge the annual conventions of the order had been held in the city of New York, but as the order grew larger year after year, a strong sentiment developed in favor of making the annual conventions migratory. For several years New York Lodge was able to sustain her contention that the Grand Lodge should meet in that city, but was finally forced to suc- cumb to superior odds, and the annual meet- ing of 1886 was held in the city of Cincinnati. Twenty new lodges were chartered during that year, and the total membership increased from thirty-nine hundred to fifty-five hundred. That settled the question, and since 1886 the conven- tions have not been held successively in the same city, excepting 1894-95 during the split of the order, when one faction of the dual Grand Lodge met in Atlantic City in 1894, and the reunited elements again met there the following year.
The Elks are a decidedly unique organiza- tion in the sisterhood of fraternities. There can be but one lodge of the order in any city. no matter how large, and lodges can not be instituted in places of less that five thousand inhabitants.
The Order of Elks has relieved suffering with open-handed generosity, but without over- whelming the recipients of its charity with an exaggerated sense of thanks due. It has es- tablished a feeling of brotherhood between resi- (lents of the east and west, and in the north and south. Sectionalism is unknown in its ranks and the order has been as cordially welcomed in the sunny south as in the extreme north. There is probably no order in existence more strictly national in its character, or which has clone more with less parade of success or self- gratification or which has before it a greater certainty of prolonged and vastly increased usefulness.
The Spokane Lodge, organized in 1891, is now the largest in the state. The home lodge owed its conception and formation to a number of resident Elks from other lodges who were

in Spokane during the winter of 1891 and 1892. The records show that on the applica- tion of John E. Kline, Charles P. Chamberlain, Charles Ross, Fred Gottlieb, Alva Titus and John S. Barnes, a dispensation and charter were granted February 2, 1892, by Edwin Barrett Hay, then grand exalted ruler. On February 13th, Judge Reed, with members of the Tacoma lodge, came over and instituted the lodge in the Daniels hall, now occupied by the Eagles. Among other features, Brother Chapman brought along a billy goat,, who acted well his part in the initiation ceremonies. Sen- ator Turner had the honor of making the first trip over the range and was aided in his passage by Brother Fred Gottleib, who was said to be an expert in hurrying up matters of that kind. The following were the charter members who went in that day, and there were quite a few who were down to pass tlirougli who were unable to be present : Geo. M. Fors- ter, WV. McConnell, J. N. Beggs, N. E. Nuzum, F. W. Smith, W. W. D. Turner, V. M. Mas- sey, Jacob Goetz, Ed. Little, S. G. Allen, T. B. Ware, W. J. Gregory, Nelson Martin, H. A. Ganke, Louis F. Baer, Will J. Ross, Alex. H. Tarbet, Robt. M. Woods, Ralph Clark, C. W. Corringe, W. D. Knight, B. H. Bennett, Eugene Fellowes, Frank O'Connor, W. H. Adams, F. H. Greene, Dr. D. J. Russell, Chas. H. Wolf, W. J. C. Wakefield, A. H. Myers, C. S. Scott, H. W. Greenberg, George Turner, O. V. Davis, C. B. Hopkins, Dan McGuan, T. C. Griffitts, F. A. Wills, Dr. R. S. Harvey, Homer R. Sibley, A. P. Curry, R. W. Nuzum, H. C. Hayward.
The ceremonies wound up with a great banquet at the old Cœur d' Alene restaurant in the evening, which was embellished with some good speeches by many of the brothers.
The lodge continued to occupy these quar- ters for a year and a half, when it moved to its present home. Shortly after its organiza- tion it was called upon to assist at the birth of a baby lodge in Moscow, and the story of the
trip would fill a volume. Dave Fotheringham gave the lodge a goat and "Dutch Jake" took along his old St. Bernard "Judge," and there was a parade in which the goat was supposed to be kept concealed, but Jake had a way of exposing him occasionally and then making frantic efforts to hide him. Among the spec- tators was Judge Piper, lately deceased, a can- didlate for the order, but when he got sight of Billy he said : "Not for me, boys." and he backed out. He afterward persistently refused to join. The goat is roaming now at Morri- son's ranch, in· Fairfield, as his services are no longer required in the new order of things.
