F, & A. M. of this provinee, from which the local delegates have just returned, is described as having been most satisfactory. The convention was held in the new Masonic Temple in New Westminster on Thursday and Friday of last week. There were about two hundred in attendance, repre- senting all parts of the province and Dawson City. The reports showed that the craft has been flourishing throughout this wide jurisdiction. The members of the Grand Lodge were enthus- iastically in favor of coming to Prince Rupert for their next meeting. It is anticipated that a boat will.be specially chartered to bring from 250 and 300 Ma- sons and their wives to Prince Rupert in June next. Even the members from the far interior look forward to making their appearance despite the distance which they will have to travel. William Henderson, of the Public Works Department, of Victoria, was elected Grand Mas- ter for the ensuing year, with James Stark, of Vancouver, as the Deputy Grand Master. W. ¢ of the Ditmars, who visited Prince Ru- pert a few months ago in his capacity of District Deputy for this distriet was elected Grand Senior Warden, and William Astley, of Vancouver, Grand Junior Warden. as When starvation stares a wo- man in the face she may start a boarding house. AULD REEKIE LADDIES STRONG TO THE FORE Caledonia Club Has Selected its High Kickers for Hazelton Championship. The Prince Rupert Caledonia football club at a committee meeting _ last night selected a mighty strong team to go up against the Hazelton boys on Do- minion Day, but it was thought that among so many good play ers one or two might not be able to get away, so the list is with- held from publication until all have definitely “signed up” for the trip. Strong team, however, is a justifiable adjective in any event. Most of those selected have played as members of the lead- ing teams in Seotland, and for the last month have done some pretty strenuous practice work, even though they had the dis- advantage of having no better ground to play on than _ the street. Rich Strike Reported. Officers and passengers on the steamers Vidette and Nasutlin, which arvived yesterday morning from Dawson, brought word of a rich placer strike having been made in the country between the heads of the White and Tanana Rivers.
