OF CANADA AND NEWFOUNDLAND 3tories, although the first Masonic Constitution of the Territories declared thatthe Grand Lodge was formed in and for the Province of Manitoba . The Constitutionalso provided that in the absence of the Grand Master the Officer next inrank should assume the duties of that Office . In 1893, Dr . Goggin, of Winnipeg,was elected Grand Master, and Thomas Tweed of Medicine Hat, in what wasthen the District of Assiniboia, was elected Deputy Grand Master .During that year, Dr . Goggin was appointed Superintendent of Educationfor the Northwest Territories ; thereupon he removed to the capital city, Regina .This circumstance occasioned a peculiar situation . The Grand Master had leftthe Jurisdiction, and the Deputy who had been elected lived outside the Province. To add further to this anomalous position, the Grand Lodge had decidedto hold the Communication of 1894 at Banff, Alberta . Finally, to overcome thedifficulty, an amendment to the Constitution was proposed, whereby the GrandLodge of Manitoba would add the Northwest Territories to its jurisdiction,thus making it the largest Masonic Jurisdiction in America and the only GrandLodge ever to extend its boundaries after being once Constituted . Althoughthe proposal was at first opposed, it finally passed .The political changes which culminated in the division of the old NorthwestTerritories into the Provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, on September1, 19o5, also precipitated the division of Manitoba Grand Lodge . Hitherto,though it had long been considered by many Brethren that the large number ofMasonic Lodges in the Canadian Northwest, and their separation by hundredsof miles from the central authority, demanded a change, the spirit of loyalty toManitoba had proved so strong that nothing short of absolute necessity couldchange it . This necessity arose, however, when Alberta became an autonomousProvince . The event had been more or less anticipated and in consequence thereof,on March 21, 1905, Wor . Bro . the Rev. G . H . Hogbin, then Master of BowRiver Lodge, with Bro . Dr . George Macdonald as Secretary, received a letterfrom W . Bro . Kealy, who was then Master of Medicine Hat Lodge, suggestingthat a Petition be made to the Grand Lodge of Manitoba, requesting recognitionas a Grand Body, at their next annual meeting in June .The Lodges in the Territory that was assumed to be Alberta were circularisedto meet in Calgary on May 24 . At that meeting, nine Lodges were representedby a total of twenty-nine Delegates . After prolonged discussion, however, itwas decided to postpone definite action, since the Autonomy Bill had not yetbeen passed, and might possibly become a law on the following July i . Nevertheless,the whole matter of the formation of a Grand Lodge was discussed, anda Committee composed of Bro . Dr . Lindsay, Bro . Thomas Tweed, and Bro . E . N .Brown was appointed to consider the question of procedure . At that time Bro .Dr. Lindsay was the First Worshipful Master of Bow River Lodge, and Bro .E . N. Brown was also a Master of Bow River Lodge, while Bro . Tweed wasPast Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba . The latter would undoubtedlyhave been chosen as first Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Albertahad it not been for his deeply regretted death . Consequently, the meeting wasadjourned until July 6, when only eight Lodges were represented . As the Au-
4 FREEMASONRY IN THE DOMINIONtonomy Bill was still being debated in Parliament, it was decided to adjourn themeeting again, until one month after the Autonomy Bill came into force . ThisAct was passed, some time previous to, and became effective on, September i,1905, and the adjourned meeting called for October i2, on which day the GrandLodge of Alberta came into being . At that time there were eighteen Lodges inthe Province of Alberta and seventeen of these were represented by seventy-nineDelegates, who were responsible for forming and constituting Grand Lodge byadopting the following resolution" TO THE BRETHREN WHERE 'ER SCATTERED O 'ER LAND AND SEA "Whereas it has been made to appear by many Brethren of the Ancient Fraternityof Free and Accepted Masons in the newly formed Province of Alberta,Canada, that it is most expedient and desirable for the proper government of theCraft that a Grand Lodge of Masons shall be formed in the said Province ofAlberta .BE IT KNOWN, That at a convention held in the City of Calgary in thesaid Province on the izth . of October, Anno Lucis, 5905, in the sixth year of thereign of His Majesty King Edward VII, for the purpose of taking into considerationa proposition from the Medicine Hat Lodge No . 31, A . F . & A . M . (GrandRegister of Manitoba) with this object in view, it was unanimously enactedas followsWhereas, it is the unanimous opinion of the Masonic Lodges of Alberta thata Grand Lodge shall be formed for the said Province, it is hereby RESOLVED,That the Delegates now assembled shall, and do hereby constitute themselvesas a true and lawful Grand Lodge for the Province of Alberta, under the AncientLandmarks existing from time immemorial, to which adhesion is hereby given .The formation of the said Grand Lodge of Alberta being sanctioned by theMost Worshipful Grand Lodge of Manitoba, under whose jurisdiction the saidLodges have been constituted .Such is the direct statement, pregnant with thought, wisdom and understanding,regarding the genesis of the Grand Lodge of Alberta, A . F . and A . M .Proclamation was then made by the Grand Director of CeremoniesIn the Name and by the Authority of the "Ancient Charges and Constitutionsof Masonry " and the proceedings of a Convention duly called in accordancewith the same-I now proclaim this Grand Lodge by the name of " THEMOST WORSHIPFUL THE GRAND LODGE OF ALBERTA, ANCIENT,FREE AND ACCEPTED MASONS " duly formed and constituted .The first election of Grand Lodge Officers, which took place immediatelythereafter, resulted as followsR. W . Bro . Dr . George Macdonald (2.8), Grand Master .R. W . Bro . H . C. Taylo r (53), Deputy Grand M aster .R. W . Bro . T . F . English (66), Senior Grand Warden .
