VANCOUVER LODGE. No. 8,

I. O. O. F.

[KY I). MKNZIKS.]

Vancouver Lod^jc, No. 8, was instituteil on January,,

27th, 1887, in (Cray's hall, dn Cordova slret-t, by I). I).

I Ci. M., K. S. Scoullar, of New Westniinster Thecharier meml)ers being, William Vivian, T. C. Ciray, T

^B. Draper, W. Heavis and Daviii (iray. Afler the lodge

• was instituted, William Vivian was elected N. G.;

Thomas C. (iray, V. G.; T. B. Draper, Rec. Sec: Wm.Beavis, Per. Sec. and David Gray, Treasurer. Thelodge, having got fairly started in the business of Friend-

ship, Love an<l Truth, flourishe<l so well and increased

its numbers so rapidly that in a shor» time it was deemedexpedient to remove to more commodious cjuarters, and

the lodge moved into what, foi a number of years, was

known as Oddfellows' Hall, in the Springer and Van

Braemer block, corner of Cordova and Cambie streets.

In this hall, very good work for 'he order has been accom-

plished. In this lodge-room, many a fine young n»an has

learned the divine lcsst)n of humanity and become a solid

landmark amid the waves of (action, thestormsof passion

and the conflicts of error. Vancouver Lodge, No. 8,

does not pay as large a weekly benefit as some of the

other lodges of the (.rder. It pays eight dollars per

week, and although it pays $2.00 a week less than most

of the other lodg.-s in this Province, yet the wisdom of

their financial management is. clearly shown by the com-

parison of the receipts of dues with the total cost of

running the lodges of this Province where it is clearly

proven, that a lodge cannot continue to pay ten <lollars a

week for sick benefit and receive only twelve dollars a

year for dues. The average cost per member for relief

and current expenses for the ten years, 1884 to 1893

inclusive was $15.81 per annum. The dues received per

member was $12.00 per annum. See proceedings of

(irand Lodge of B. C, page 1298- 1299.

4 I.ODC.K HISIolsV.

On the first of July, 1893, Vancouver Lodge, No. 8,

again moved, an<l is now in their hall, on the corner of

HtMiier and Hastings streets, thtir new home heing the

largest and finest hall in the province. Owing to the

wave of finaniial depression that has swept over this con-

tinent the last two years, N«> S. has not increased in

membership as we would have liked, hut "like the city

from which she look her name," is destined to be in the

very front of the battle for the principles of our grand

order. Friendship, Love and Truth, the relief of the

distressed, the burying of the dead, the education of the

orphan and the care of the widow.The officers chosen to guide and lead the lodge in these

benevolent and charitable institutions for the term endingDecember 31st., 1895, are j. A. McKay, N. G. ; A. R.Foxley, V. G.; H. IL Davis, Rec. Sec; Wm. Lyman,Per. Sec; T. F. Neelands, Treas., all of whom are able,

active and intelligent young men. Vancouver Lodge,No. 8, pays $8.00 per week sick benefits. On the deathof a brother, $75.00 funeral expense. On the death ofa brother's wife, $35.00 funeral benefit, and trnthe tleah,

or a brother in good standing at the time of his deaiththe lodge contracts to pay to his widow a sum, ecjual to

one dollar for each member in g'XKl .standing, and shouldsuch brother leave orphans and no widow, the trustees

shall expend said sum for the benefit of the orphans.

PACIFIC LODGE, No. 26,

I. O. O. F.

From various causes and for various reasons, Pacific

Lodge has held a prowl position in Odd Fellowship in

Vancouver as well as in tKe province during its existence

ol a little more than a year and a half.

The Lodge was instituted in MarcK, 1894, the numberof charter members l)eing eighteen, but at the first meet-

ing about one hundred members of the Ix^yal Pacific

Lodge which up to this time, had afifiUiafed with theCanadian order, joined the New Pacific in a body, andsince that time recruits have come in steadily and rapidly

until an the present lime, the membership is two hundredand sixty, making it by far the largest in B. C. Thedisatisfactiorj of the n^embers of the old Loyal was welV

founded. The Canadian order was smviU in numbers,and the cost per capita was more than double that of the

Independent order, an<l to -.nake the situation still moreunsatisfactory the Grand Lodge, thiough carelessness orother motives, failed to comply with many reasonable

and necessary re(juests made by this particular subor-

dinate lodge, until patience ceased to be a virtue. So-

in February, 1894, the meml)ers got together in a kindof indignation assemblage, the result being a transfer

one month later of nearly the entire membership—or abundled out of one hundned and twenty-six—to the

Independent order. The first officers were :—G. L.Center, N. G.; A. McKenzie, V, (i ; J. Tite, R. S.

;

Jas. Stark. P. vS. ; Jas. Co|)erland, Treas. The lodge^

Lodge, No. 26, at Vancouver, in 1894. In the mean-time he joined the old Loyal Pacific in the CanadianOrder in 1892, but on the transfer of that lodge to the

Independent Order on the lormation of Pacific No. 26,

he withdrew from Columbia, joining Pacific by card, andbeing chosen its first Noble Grand. Me is also a charter

student, and the knowledge jjnined served him well in

after yenrs. In 1865. just previous to the great Fenian

raids, he removed to St. Catharines, (Ontario, joining

the volunteers and serving during 1866 in the defence of

his newly adoi)ted country. He then resided in Torontofor a short time, removing thence to Hrantford, wherehe was employed in the drygoods business for six years.

In 1872 he went to St. (ieorge, where he established

himself in the general merchandise business, remainingthree years. In 1875 he returned to Toronto, opening a

large drygoods house on \'ongc street, which he con-

ducted for six years, renioving in 1881 to Ayr, Ontario,

where for eleven years he was engaged on an extensive scale

in the general merchandise business. During this time

he erected a handsome block in the town, and enjoyedgeneral prosi)erity until the chief industries of the place

began to collapse and he was ol)liged to seek a newfield ; so, during a visit to Vancouver in 1 89 1, hedecided to make this his future home. lie removedhere with his family in March, 1892, and fifteen dayslater opened up his present ' iness at 226 Carrall

street, known as Stark's Glasgow House. Being a live

he has enjoyed a large trade from the start, and is pos-

sessed with the progressive, liberal spirit which gives

healthy growth to cities.

of charter members was 36.

Meetings were held in Reefer's hall until the spring of

1890, when the present Castle hall was leased andfurnished. During the same summer Granville I odgeassisted in instituting Rathbone Lodge No. 7, in 1893Mount Pleasant Lodge No. ii, and since then CrusaderLodge No. 19, all of which are now in a flourishing

condition and refl-ct credit upon the parent Lodge,Granville No. 3.

To the men who laid the foundation of l^ythianism onthe mainland of British Columi)ia belongs, to a great

extent, the credit of the advancement the order has

made since that time. At Hrsi the new society was not

received with much enthusiasm. Being a comparativelyyoung organization and of American origin, it waslooked upon by those of ultra-British notions with somedisfavor ; and the first time a Knight in imiform, withsword and belt, appeared upon iIk- streets of Vancouver,he was regardetl as a representative of a Nihilistic or

Fenian organization, and some of the timid ones trem-
