and Physician.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
WOMEN DISCUSS THE CREATION
OF A RESERVE FUND.

When the Woodmen settled down to
business yesterday forenoon they found
before them supplemental report of
the committee on salaries, recommend
ing that the salary of the head auditor
De continued at the present figure. The
report was unanimously adopted There
was considerable discussion over the
compensation of the head physician,
the report of the committee which
sustained the present system, allowing
the official 25 cents for each applica-
ton, being adopted. In this way the
question of salaries was disposed of,
that of the head consul alone being in
creased.
An effort was made by certain of
the delegates to suspend the regular
order of business and proceed with the
election of officers, and after heated
discussion the motion to that effect
was defeated. A similar effort to pro-
ceed with the selection of the place of
meeting of the next head camp was
defeated by narrow margin.
AT the beginning of the afternoon
session the reports of various commit
tees were taken up and discussed. The
night over the official organ began with
the adoption Of the first and second
paragraphs of the report of the COM
mittee having that subject in hand.
These reports were in favor of main
tanning the Pacific WO0dman as the
Omclal organ and of electing an editor
ana publisher at each session of the
head camp. The third section of the
report favored that the order enter into
a contract with the editor to issue the
publication, whereas heretofore the
publishing contract has been let to
others.
A great deal of discussion on the
manner in which the organ should be
published was the result. but owing to
the lateness of the hour no vote was
taken
The session was honored by a call
from Sovereign Clerk Yates of the
Sovereign jurisdiction, who made a
short farewell address, departing last
evening for Omaha.
Work of the Women.
The day with the women was one of
cares. The entire forenoon was taken
up with the report of the organization
committee, and it was finally adopted.
In the afternoon the important cues
ton as to the creation of a reserve
fund arose. and before it was tabled
the discussion became tropical. The
proposition is to make an additional
one and half assessment for the DUR
pose of raising several thousand dol
lars for the treasury. to hold in re-
serve. The WOodmen have such A fund
put the opposition was based on the
insufficient strength of the auxiliary to
stand the assessment. The committee
on equalization in its report brought
the matter before the circle. and the
session did not close for an hour after
the time intended because of the dis
cussion- Action on the question was
continued until this morning.
