At the conclusion of the program,
the Woodmen were invited to the
Banquet room, where a beautiful
spread of good things were shown on
nicely decorated tables, with spray
of cedar beside each plate. About
eighty persons were served and the
Woodmen made merry at the festal
board.
While there is no ''Grove," or ladies'
auxiliary to the Woodmen, in Shelton,
the ladies took great interest in their
Surprise and worked hard to make
it the success it was, for which the
Woodmen give them the Camp hon
ors" with pleasure, We regret that
number of the out-of-town members
could not be present, they missed
treat. The Woodmen of the World is
one of the best of the beneficiary or
ders, besides having practically all
the good features of the strictly fra
terna1 organizations. and is growing
very rapidly on the Pacific Coast.
Cedar camp now has a membership of
65, carrying about S175,000 insurance
and is becoming very strong camp.

| Last Friday afternoon fire was dis
covered in the Hotel Dipman, and the
Fire Company responded promptly to
the alarm. Although smoke was COM
ing ont IN many places from the West
wing of the building the blaze was
finally located in the room occupied by
Supt. Gunderson and put out, but not
before that part of the house was
flooded with water The room and its
contents were destroyed. including
books and personal effects of Mr.
Gunderson, and the bedding, carpets
and wall paper on several other rooms
damaged by water. The fire caught
from the flue, evidently dropping from
one of the openings to the floor behind
a partition, and snouldering away un-
til it filled the house with smoke, and
bursting into flame before it was
noticed by the occupants. It is FORUM
ate that the damage was not worse.
The Hotel is insured in the American
and Phoenix companies, and B. B.
Broomell, of Tacoma, adjusted the
loss Tuesday, allowing Mr.. Dipman
SIPS for his damage by fire and water.
