HEADQUARTERS BULLETIN.

Close of the Observation-Disclosures for Last
Ouarter-New Camps Mustered.
The National Encampment is now in session at
Helena. Mont. The administration Of Barlow $.
Weeks as Commander-in-Chief of the Order prae-
tically ended with the closing up OF the National
Headquarters in New York City last week. Too
much cannot be said in praise of the work per-
formed by AdTt-Gen. Raphael Tobias and Quar-
termaster- General John V. b. Clarlsson. They
toiled day and night for the advancement Of the
Order, and they will turn to their successors
set of books, many of which they have issued. and
which far exceeds any the Order has ever pos
sessed.
The systematic manner in which Brother Tobias
kept the record of Camps and Divisions makes his
record not only correct and neat, but compact.
The system used by Brother Clarkson in the finan-
cial portion of the work prevented mistakes, and
of course absolute correctness. He adopted
a system by which in rearranging the supplies and
methods of delivery, half the time and labor here
tofore consumed was saved.
The Order owes much to these three gentlemen.
