F. H. GANTY
There were 5,285 official "dele
gates attended tlie Sliriuers' coun
cil held in Seattle last week and
there were probably 50,000 more
including their wive3, who went
Mong with the delegates to see
that ihey behaved themselves and
upheld the 'dignity of the greatest
fraternal gathering that ever as
sembled in the Spirit City.
It costs something to become a
Shrintr. It can be done for some
thing like $400, if one is inclined
that way, but one usually isn't.
It usually costs about ten times
that amount, in one way or anoth
er. One must be a 32nd-degree Ma
son before he is eligible to the
Shrine—didju know that? And by
the time a man reaches the 32nd
degree he's usually cut his eye teeth
abou* being a tightwad and finds
doligLt in spending a penny now
and then.
So, it costs money.
It's reasonable to presume that
the average wealth of a Shriner is
$10,000, though 6ome of 'em are
•.vor'h considerably less, and some
astonishingly more. There ■ were
two or three millionaires amongst
t'aos3 fellows who were seen pack
ing around tin spears and things
in Seattle—if that makes any dif
ference to you.
So, it doesn't take a wizard in
mathematics to figure that the big,
orani-Shriner is a pretty wealthy
guy, that is, if you'd call $52,850,
000 any money.
After the adjournment there was
a bunch of Shriners, includiug the
newly elected Imperial Potentate, J.
Putnam Stevens of Portland, Maine,
Past Imperial Potentate Lou B.
Wiusor (33d degree) of Reed City,
Michigan, newly elected Imperial
Treasurer \V. S. Brown of Pitts
burgh, Penn., W. Owen Gandy, of
O. Gandy & Co., bankers. Fort
Wayne, Ind., and H. E. McLain, of
Pittsburgh, Penn., and about
twenty others, who made up
their minds they would visit Alas
ka, 'and when that conclusion was
reached the act was as good as ac
complished. Catching the Princess
Alice out of Vancouver, B. C., on
Saturday night the party reached
here this morning, accompanied by
the following ladles, Mrs. WInsor,
Mrs. and Miss McLain.
At G:30 this morning, about a
half hour before the arrival of the
Princess Alice, the local Shriners,
consisting of Max Gutfeld, W. 'C.
Wright, Wm. Bunting, E. J. Shaw,
G. G. Miller, J. A. 'Nettles and Geo.
Mattes, the latter a visiting Shriner
from Odebolt, Iowa, bearing ' the
"Alaska Camel Banner," on which
was emblazoned a camel standing
til the burning sands of the desert,
and below it the Inscription,' "The
Alaskan Smiles with Nile, with Her
Arctic Camel," and accompanied by
the Skagway brass band, proceeded
to the dock, reaching there in time
to welcome the visitors with out
stretched hands and the latest popu
lar strains of music.
The time was short 'for anything
except greetings, as the visitors
had to catch the 9'30 train for
Atlin and Whitehoree, bo all furth
er ceremony was waived and they
were escorted up town 'and looked
after until the time cr.me for them
to leave. '
Tomorrow afternoon the party
will be met at the train by the lo
cal Shriners and shown over the
town before their departure for
the south.
J. Putnam Stevens is the first
imperial potentate who has ever
visited Alaska.
