Mystic Order Grand Lodge Holds Session in Lewiston Idaho
The Grand Lodge of Idaho Odd Fellows met in Lewiston on October 16 with about 85 officers and representatives. An estimated 200 visitors boosted the city’s attendance. The organization, founded November 23, 1883 in Boise City, now includes 43 subordinate lodges and 1650 members, plus 22 Rebekah lodges and 16 Encampments. Officers elected for the next year include Grand Master N. Price of Pocatello and Grand Warden Geo. Thompson of Cour d’Alens City. The next session will be held in Caldwell. A gavel embedded with a bullet from Lookout Mountain was presented to a lodge. The Grand Encampment day saw fresh officers chosen. The Daughters of Rebekah elected officers, and a Sovereign Grand Lodge resolution opened Rebekah membership to unmarried white women over 18. Grover issued 50 million in gold bonds. The note ends with election commentary and a remark that the Idaho legislature is Republican.
