Over 500.., Masons are in attendance
"at the sixty-second annual communi
cation of the grand lodge of Iowa, A.
F. & A. M., which formally opened at
Davenport Tuesday morning "at Tur
ner hall. The opening was a quiet
but impressive ceremony.
The hall had been beautifully deco
rated with the Masonic white and blue,
and the stage where the grand lodge
officers, and local xe.eption committee
were seated, was a literal bower of
floral bloom, huge bunches of roses
being flanked by masses of peonies,
and other-bright bued flowers.'
Grand Marshal K. T. Lamb of Olln
was the first official to open the lodge,
and after a brief ceremony with mys
tic symbolism, plain only to those of
the faith, Grand Master Sumner Mil
ler, of Guttenberg, was introduced and
took the large chair of state in. the
center of the stage, after he had been
saluted three times by hand clapping.
After a selection by the Davenport
military band the grand master intro
duced Mayor Harry Phillips, who wel
comed the 500 and more visiting Ma
sons to the hospitality of the city.
Mayor Phillips spcj:e with bis usual
warmth and enthusiasm.
Presents Certified Cheek,
-Before the formal response to the
welcome of. the. local masons and
mayor of Davenport, W. F. Fidlar
Btepped
forward and presented a
large scroll to the grand master. The
grand master on opening the parch
ment smiled, and handed it to the sec
retary, who was directed to read it
aloud before the grand lodge.
The local Masons had introduced a
novel feature in lieu of the usual hand
ing over of the keys of the city. They
had presented the graad lodge with a
certified check on the Davenport Clear
ing House, good for $45,00 payable in
good will of the people of Davenport.
The check was formally drawn up and
signed by the mayor, city clerk and
president of the clearing house asso
ciation, and after reading it the secre
tary was ordered to place it in the ar
chives of the order.
•h Makes GlOwlfig Response.
Past Gtknd Master ,W. L, Baton of
Osage, was then called upon,by. the
grand master to respond to the wel
come which had been extended the
grand lodge." The past gran master
paid a glowing, tribute to the local
Masonic bodies in bis address.

Preceding the formal, opening of the
granA lodge at Turner hall, over 500
Masi^ took part, in-an immense pa

streets of ..the city and were heartily
applauded by-the-crowds along the
line of march.
The procession formed at Masonic
temple at 9:30 o'clock and headed by
a platoon of police, the Dayenport Mil
itary band and St. Simon of Cyrene
commandery of Knights Templar in
full uniform, the long line of delegates

':A Afternoon Session. mmt
The Masonic grand lodge recon
vened at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at
Turner hall, and listened to the reports
of the grand secretary and the report
on charity fund. Both reports were
received with a great deal of interest
and were listened to with deep atten
tion.
Grand Secretary Newton R. Parvin
of Cedar Rapids, after reporting the
usual routine matters concerning new
lodges formed, changes in membership
and similar matters, announced that
the lodges of the state are preparing
to celebrate the semi-centennial of the
order. He recommends the issuance
of permanent lodge records and com
mends very highly the work of certain
lodges which have already started on
this work.
General improvement of the Masonic
Library building and offices at Ced&r
Rapids, and the fitting out of the fire
proofs vaults in the building so that
records can be kept in them, are both
recommended by the grand secretary
in his reports.
The master of clandestine lodges is
touched upon and Masonic brethren
are cautioned to examine the pub
lished list of fraudulent lodges and to
examine visiting Masons to be sure
that they do not hail from one or an
other of the clandestine organizations.
The grand secretary appends to his
report brief death notices of the fol
lowing deceased grand secretaries
John Davis Vincil, Samuel Manning,
Todd, Olive A. Whittemore and Henry
F. Pickles. Following the secretar's
report the grand charity fund report
was given by the trustees of the fund.
Charity Fund Report.
The total charity fund is shown to
be $11,687.48, nearly all of which is in
vested in gilt edged, interest bearing
securities. The sum of $8,500 is in
vested in real estate security, worth
in each instance from two to three
times the amount of the loan, and
$3,000 is invested in Iowa city im
provement bonds.
The fund is being used continually
for the relief of 31 cases and the trus
tees have paid out $6,367 for relief dur
lng the past year. The trustees also
submit a list of appropriations which
they deem necessary for the keeping
up of the relief work. The trustees
add that although the demands upon
the grand charity fund are increasing
each year, through the liberal contri
buttons of the various Masonic bodies
they have been able to meet each de
mand. The report was signed by
Thomas Lambert, James D. Gamble
and George W_ Ball, the three trustees
of the fund,-.. .,....
Concert at Park.
The grand lodge will end its business
sesion late this afternoon, and this
evening the rme will be given over to

as agent of the Illinois Central rail
road, died Tuesday at his' home, 207
Forty-fourth street'.
.Mr. Ramsey's, de^th resulted from
pneumonia which .'.developed from a
lingering, case of grip. Early last Feb
ruary he suffered'a Severe attack of.
grip which so weakened him that he
was never able to return to his work
at the Yards. The fatal complication
developed about ten days ago, and in
his weakened condition, there "was no
chance for recovery.
Jaihes Ramsey was born in Scotland
and had reached the age of 65 years.
He came to the Yards as a young man
shortly after the opening in 1865 and
in 1873 was appointed freight agent of
the Illinois Central road in which po
sition he continued constantly until
his death. John Mack, live stock
agent of the Burlington line, who has
known him well for the last quarter of
a century, said: "He was a careful
and faithful employe of the Illinois
Central and never did an unkind act
in his whole career at the Yards."

Line Will Probably Be Bujut In Near
Future Unless Complications Arise.
Burlington, June S.—Tfte final sur
vey lor the Muscatine North and South
line from .Elrick Junction to Burling
ton is rapidly approaching completion.
Engineer McDonald and his crew are
now but a short distance north of the
city, and expect to terminate their
labors by the end of the week.
The line will probably be built In
the near fjiture on the route now be
ing laid out, unless unforse^n events
interfere. And there are many slips
between a survey and the arrival and
departure of trains.
Something that may be belong in
this category, came to light yesterday.
The engineer and his men have driven
fine oaken stakes in the fieldB to mark
out the proposed line. A number of
these stakes were set in meadows
which are to be invaded by the hay
makers today. The owners of several
of these meadows called on Major Hol
steen yesterday to get his opinion.
As secretary of the Commercial Ex
change and as a public-spirited citizen,
he favors the now route and will do
anything in his power to help it along.
But he was consulted by the respective
land owners as their attorney. The
question arose, suppose a reaper
strikes one of those stakes and brejks
a sickle or some other part of the ma
chinery, who will be good for the dam
age. The major believes in keeping
on the safe side and advised his clients
to pull up the stakes. And when the
construction gang strikes that portion
of the line, they will be up in the air,
so to speak, and the line may wander
off in any old direction instead of
coming direct to the best city in Iowa.

GREAT NEW GAME PRESERVE.
Quebec, Jun6 8.—American sports
men will be interested in the recent
action of the Quebec government in
setting apart a great fish and game
preserve in the Gaspe peninsula. It oc
cupies the entire central part of this
peninsula, and contains a million and
a half acres.
Of the whole of that large tract of
country included between the Bale des
Chaleurs and the Gulf of St. Lawrence,
scarcely anything is known beyond a
few miles from the shore. The settle
ments are all by the waterside and the
inhabitants are almost wholly in the
fishing industry.
The interior is without either roads
or settlements. It is about to be opened
up, however, by a railway, and this fact
has aroused the government to the ne
cessity of taking steps to prevent the
destruction of the forests. Were these
to disappear it would mean the ruin
and destruction of most of the remain
ing salmon rivers of the province of,
Quebec on the south shore of the St.
Lawrence. As a matter of fact, be
tween a dozen or twenty of these riv
ers take their rise from the high lands
of the new preserve, and Int-ny of. these
streams are fished, and* often owned
as well, by American anglers.
The surveyors who pushed their way
through this country for the proposed
railway describe it as simply alive
with large game, moose being so abun
dant that they had no difficulty in kill
ing all the game they could use for
food. Caribou and red deer are also
numerous, while the headwaters and
smaller tributaries of the salmon riv
ers were swarming with speckled
trout.
This sportsman's paradise, while be
ing carefully preserved for future gen
erations is not to be by any means
closed to present /day hunters or
anglers.. But nobody will be permitted
to fish or shoot within its borders,
whether native or visitor, without. a
proper permit, for which there will be
a smail charge and at the some time
it is the intention to lease fishing and
hunting territories within tlve limits of
the preserve to American and Cana
dian sportsmen or clubs who will un
dertake to see to their proper preserva
tion.
It will probably be some time before
the railway will be constructed over
the mountains of the interior of this
peninsula, but in the meantime the fish
and game districts of the interior may
be reached by following the courses of
the rivers from the coast to the heart
of the country, by canoe in summer
and by snowshoe in winter.

afternoon in the district court. The
