The Grand Encampment of Ontario
1. 0.0.F. met in Brockville in their 36th
annual convention last week and the
Grand Lodge held its fiftieth, annual
meeting. Mr. F. R. Blewitt, of Listo-
wel, who last year held the office of De-
puty Grand and who is well known
throughout the province as an enthusi-
asts° and hard-working member of the
order took a step udwards and is now
Grand Master, the highest office in the
order in Ontario. At the Grand En-
campment, which is a distinct organiz-
ation under the jurisdiction of the order
a former Listowel boy, Mr. Geo. C.
Mortimer, of Toronto, was elected
Grand Patriarch. Mr. N. R. Jennings,
of Palmerston, was elected Senior Grand
Warden of the Encampment and Mr.
T. J. Elliott, of Wingham, Deputy
Grand Patriarch for District No. 13.
For the higher offices of the Grand
Lodge the contest is over the Grand
Wardenship, the other steps being usual-
ly taken by acclamation. This year Mr.
R. R. Brett, of the Essex Free Press was
elected. The Grand Encampment has
nestle steady progress during the past
year. The total number of members at
last report was 3,980. During the year
387 were initiated, 21 admitted by card
and 24 reinstated, making the total 4,412.
During the year 145 withdrew, suspend-
ed or died, making the total at present,
4.267. The report of Edmond Beltz,
grand treasurer, showed the receipts for
1904 to have been $2,035,29 and the ex-
penditure $1,718.98, leaving a balance of
$316.21,
This year the golden anniversary of
the Grand Lodge was celebrated in
the cradle of its birth. August 23rd,
1855, 1)r. Thos. W. Reynolds succeeded
in securing the attendance of thirteen
representatives from seven different
lodges. Dr. Reynolds who was a Brock.
villian, presided, and at the election of
officers was made first Grand Master
an office he held until his death in 1859.
Thus, fifty years ago there was gathered
at Brockville but a small band of war-
riors, last week there is present a solid
phalanx, armed with the weapons of the
Order -Friendship, Love and Truth.
Over 500 delegates, representing a total
of 34,000 members, were in attendance at
the sessions. "In 1901 there was a net
increase of 886 members; in 1902, 1,190;
in 1903, 1,661; in 1904.5, 1,843. The
extra large increase in membership this
year is practically due to the exertion
put forth by the lodges to make this,
our fiftieth anniversary one of the most
prosperous in the history of the Order,"
Grand Secretary Joseph B. King, of
Toronto, reported: "In 1855, seven
lodges represented at the organization
of this Grand Lodge by 13 representa-
tives; to -day 306 lodges, with 463 re-
presentatives, having a constituency of
34,000 members. Total benefits paid
out in 1856, the first year reported, was
£74 16s, $299.00; last year, 1904, $65,404..
78 paid to 3,178 eiok brothers. The total
expenditure for relief for the year was
$107,664 43, or $294.97 for each day of
1904. The relief paid out each day in
1904 equalled the total paid out in the TORONTO
year 1856. The total amount expended -
ed by the Order, including its auxiliarixs, August 2$th to Sept. 9th
in the past 48 years has amounted in
round figures to the very large aggregate
of $3,410,654,41. This magnificent sum
does not include all the money paid out
by the relief boards, which have an ex-
istence in our several large Oddfellow-
ship centres, which is not recorded in
the returns of the several lodges."
For the year ending June 30th, 231
veteran .jewels were issued. The re•
ceipte of the Oddfellows' Home for the
year were $6,594.74, and the total dis-
bursmente, $6,353.06, leaving a balance
on hand of $241.67. The total assets are
$20,586,47, and the liabilities are none,
Peterhor° was chosen as the place for
the next annual session,

To the Editor of the TIMgs:—
DF,Ali SI1
i, Can you answer the fol.
lowing conundrum? The Town Coun-
oMllors are elected to deal out evenhanded
justice to the ratepayers; but in this we
think they fail to do their duty. -For
what purpose was the eleotrip light
plant purchased?. -The first requisite
was to light the streets, but negligence Accounts Bents and Notes Collected, Cop -
Hero, is a case in point; -Two. streets OFFICL-In Vanstone Block,
run psrallel, Minnie street has only one Open Saturday nights from 7 to 9
building where the public assemble,
viz: the Methodist church. This street
is brilliantly lighted from end to end.
Contrast this with Edward street. where
five places of public resort exist, viz; the
Baptist church, the Salvation Army Bar-
racks, the Orange hall, the Firemen's
hose tower and the corporation Weigh
Scales; and the whole rear portion of the
market square and Town Hall are all in
total darkness, all the way from Victoria
street to the Town Park withouti a
spark of light! Why is it thus? Our
town fathers may plead as an excuse
that saints dwell on the streets, that
light is a superfluity, But the sinners
demand light -their just right and
must have it. A vote from this for-
saken street will weigh as heavy as
any other street -if the scales are
properly balanced, Why should the
ratepayers of Edward VII street be
forced to pay taxes to light foreign
streets of less importance? Mr. Editor
you will confer a favor by causing
light to shine where darkness exists.
