"Finis” was written to the Benton County Court House controversy on the 5th of July, when
the cornerstone of the new $100,000.00 building was laid by F. &L.A- M. Grand Lodge
the impressive Masonic ceremony. Walter F. Meier, Most Worshipful Grand Mister »1»
ington State Grand Lodge, presided at the ceremony, and was assisted by Grand Secretary Tyler of
Tacoma, and Grand Lecturer Atkins. L. T. Campbell, Master of Euclid Lodge No. 125, Prosser, was
Deputy Grand Marshal.
At the conclusion pf the-cornerstone laying ceremony the celebration was turned into a Fourth
of July gathering. The day was exceedingly hot, but the crowd entered into
occasion. Ball games, field events, vaudeville programs, a sham battle by Company
fantry, and a fireworks program followed by a free street dance closed the dav s activity. lhe
crowd was estimated at 10,000.

Two men, Andrew Holm and Sam
Paulovich, were very seriously injured
as the result of a collision of ore
trains in the Alaska Juneau mine last
week. Holm’s right leg was crushed
to a pulp below the knee and both
of Paulovich’s legs were badly bruis
ed but no bones were broken. Holm’s
leg was amputated at the knee at
St. Ann’s hospital. The unfortunate
man was reported as resting as well
as could be expected this morning.
Holm is an oldtimer, a Swedish
Finn, and is reckoned one of the best
miners in the country. Paulovich is
a Serbian. He was at Juneau for
several years ago but returned from
his home country only two weeks ago.
