HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT.
The Department Of California, ranking tenth
in seniority. effected its permanent orgaaiza-
ton and held its first annual encamprnent at
San Francisco February 81, 1868. Its terrific
rial limits now comprise the states of California
and Nevada and the Sandwich Islands. For
merly Oregon, Washing ton. Idaho and Arizona
were attached to this department and posts or
ganized in each, but these have since been or
ganized into separate Departments and the posts
transferred. For several years after its organi-
cation the department struggled for existence,
and in 1877 it numbered but three POSTS with n
membership OF less than 100. At this time the
tide began to turn and increased interest was
shown in the work of the order and gains began
TO be made. 1t now numbers lis posts, g. 295
members in good standing. representing nearly
1000 regiments and batteries and 1875 ships en-
gagged in the civil war, and every state and ter
ritory that furnished troops, while its disbursc-
ments in the way Of charity compare favorpbly
with departments much stronger numerically
than this one. Present officers are: J. b. Full
Ter. department commander; Z. c. Seymour
senior vice commander; c. ]. Boskowitz, junior
vice commander; T. C. Masteller assistant ad-
jutant general; Eugene Wiegand, assistant
quartermaster general; DR.. p. J. Aiken, medi-
cal director; Rev. A. d. Morrison, chaplain:
George A. Grail, inspector; J. NJ. Walling,
Judge advocate; A. W. Barrett, mastering Off
