what the Last Report of the Commander
in-Chief khows.

m-Shiet snOWe
The last report of the commander-in-
chief shows that forty-tnree camps,
with membership Of nearly 900. have
been established since his prsvious re-
port.
The COMMUNICATIVE chief. in circular
letter, calls especial attention TO the sub
ject of Revenues and Finances of Past
Commander in-Chief Weeks's report, as
found in full on PAGES 20 and "a, Pro
ceedings OF the Eleventh Annual En-
campment," hell at Helena. and TO the
souuduess of his recommendation No. ii
und r. that head. The evidence ut these
headquarters proves that the much dis
cussed project of decreased dues from
divisions TO the commandsry can be
surely secured by the adoption or the
plan of biennial sessions OF the COM
mandery. A reduction OF % per cent. is
assured. Further, there can De no ques-
tion as TO the increased stability this sys-
TEN will give our order. IL is apparent,
also, that The sys.em o. quar- erly r.
por,s can be amended TO the great bene-
fit of the order by substituting semi
annual for quarterly reports. 1t
is not practicable Within the
limits of this circular to rehearse
ala the reasons proving the ad-
visibility of these changes. bu all broth
ers who have conducted or are now trans-
acting the business OIL the order Tor dlvl-
sions, will sec the reas onableness and adj
visibility therefor This order is issued
TO cali attention TO these important mat
ters. that they, with the three degree
ritual. iusurance feature, and Sons Of
Veteran guards sys .enl, may have full,
tree aud fair discussion, no only at the
division encampmeBts yet To DE held
prior 40 the meeting of the commandery-
in-chief at Cincinnati, but by the rank
and file OF the order. Let intelligent de-
sire TO arrive at such conclusions as shall
best promote the interests or our order
govern all discussions, and the result OF
the deliberations a Cincinnati Will car
tanly bring about firmer establish
ment of our ORDER and better methods in
conducting its Official affairs.
The quarter closing March 81 last has

Fosters Forecasts.

Prof. Fosters next storm is to be
here from the 4th to 9th. He says
that a very considerable change will
come with MAY weather.
Rainfall will be better distributed
and the extreme temperatures of April
will not occur in May. The month
will average cool for the season. Most
places where drought occurred in
April will have fair rains and much
better crop weather in May.
The cool wave will cross the west
ern mountains about the 9Th, the great
central valleys about the 9TH and the
eastern states about the 9th. The
second storm wave of May will reach
the Pacific coast about the Sth, cross
the western mountains by close of the
9th the great central valleys from 10th
to 10Th and the eastern states about
the 18th. This disturbance will be of
more than usual energy about the
18th and 18th in the Mississippi valley.
The cool wave following will cross
the western mountains about the 18th,
the great central valleys about the
18th and the eastern states about the
18th. Some danger of frosts in the
northern ATTITUDES from this cool wave.
