Mr. Webster has seen considerable of the ups and downs of life. After leaving school he was engaged for a number of years with his father in the general mer- chandise and grain business at I*riceville, Ontario, and about 18&1 established himself in the saw-mill business, which he conducted with success for a year. Then he ran a brick -yard at Priceville for a year, leaving that to take charge of a farm for his father near Toronto. After eighteen months as a farmer he bought a saw-mill near Markdale. . He mskde fine progress with this business, for thirteen months, when a fire wi|)ed out the entire plant, leaving him almost [xinniless. He then engaged m. the real-estate business in Toronto for a year, going thence to Teeswater, Ontario, where he operated a saw-mill on shares for alxmt a year, putting in th*' following four years in doing bridge- work for the Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company in the Territories.

He carries a very large stock, complete in all grades of furniture, and has from the start enjoyed a liberal patronage, which is increasing every year with the growth of the city. Mr. Hutchings is something of a moralist, on the lines laid down by Solomon and other philosophers.

The number of charter members was 36. Meetings were held in Reefer's hall until the spring of 1890, when the present Castle hall was leased and furnished. During the same summer Granville I odge assisted in instituting Rathbone Lodge No. 7, in 1893 Mount Pleasant Lodge No. ii, and since then Crusader Lodge 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 on the 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 comparatively young organization and of American origin, it was looked upon by those of ultra-British notions with some disfavor ; and the first time a Knight in imiform, with sword 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- h\e(i for the safety of the state.

In 1886 he moved to Vancouver as manager for the cigar manufactory of Kurtz & Co., and ncteil in that capacity until February^ 1892. At that date he became a partner in the hrm, and now has charge of the business at this end of the line. J. H. Carlisle. The present chief of the Vancouver fire department was a charter member of (Granville I^odge, K. of I*., and of Pacific Lodge, I.O.O.F. His calling prevents hin> from holding office, liut he takes an interest in both of these Orders and is a valued member. Mr. Carlisle was lx>rn at Hillsboro, New Brunswick , Octol)er 4th, 1859, where he was educated, and spent his early manhood in the "healthful exercise of farming. In 1882 he left his home for the United Stites, sloj>ping three months in Idaho, and then locating in Seattle, where he remained two years and a half in the trucking business. In 1885 he came to Vancouver and followed the same occupation for three years. At the same time he was a member of the volunteer fire-brigade. He was chosen chosen chief in 1886, and served in this capacity until September, 1888, when the i)aid deimrtment was organized, and he received the appointment of chief from the city council.

If it has rred at all, it has been in overj^enerosity. It was insli- Ituted in may, 1890, and for the most part owes its exis- .ence to the exertions of Harry J.

In the niolter of membership Ralhbone Lodge has held its own, and has gathered in a few more mem- bers during the recent trying times. Rathbone Lodge has always stood ready to take its shaie of any work for the l)enehl of the Order, and several of its members are active supj^orters ol tlie Van- ■ ,uver Amplilied Tlnrd Rank team, which is ecpial to [any on the coast. Rathb«mecan remember with pride almost everyone cf its past officers, and many of them have shown alnlity and a splendid knowledge of what I'ythianism really means, in the (Jrand Lodge ami elsewhere.
