SO the business OF the organiza ton under
his administration had been opened without
difficulty. He found that the supplies on
hand amounted in value to S3Gai9i
Continuing. the adjutant general said:
The following are the standing ana num-
bers of all camps so far as l have been
able to enumerate from reports which have
been sent in to the national headquarters.
The discrepancy between the total number
of camps on my report and that Of Past
Adjutant General Harmon l.. Hutson is due
to the fact that my list contains several
camps that were chartered this year but
whose application had been approved by
the former administration, and also camps
that were practically dead a year ago but
that have been reorganized this year:
Total of New Camps
The total of new camps since January 1,
1905, is nnety-four. To this number, how
ever, one more should be added-the camp
recently organized in the District of Column
bia.
The new camps by states are as follows:
Arizona, /: California, 4 Connecticut, 1;
District of Columbia, ,; Georgia, 1; Idaho.
=: Illinois, II; Indiana, S; Indian Territory,
l; Kansas, 4; Iowa, l; Maine. }: Massachu-
sets, >; Michigan, >; Minnesota, - Mis-
souri,, =: Montana. 2: New Hampshire, L;
New York. 9; Ohio Z; Pennsylvania 5;
Rhode Island, l; Tennessee 3: Texas, :;
Utah, /; Vermont, l; Virginia l; Washing
ton. 4: Wisconsin, 6; Philippine Islands 1.

soldated camps, u.
ITO date the organization has thirty-one
departments, is entered In forty-three
states, including the Philippine Islands and
Hawaii and has 435 camps, of which 800
are in good standing and 100 delinquent and
dormant The list of delinquent and dor
| mant camps. so far as l have been able to
determine, totals approximately $500 men,
bers. No doubt this amount should be
much larger. but inasmuch as some of the
camps have not reported since December
81 1904 1t is impossible to accurately de-
termine just what this number should be-"
Receipts for the Year.
The adjutant general pointed out that he
had purchased furniture during the year
to the amount of sl76.35, that the supplies
a hand amounted to $s29.35, and that the
ret ipts for the year had amounted to
IS, so. and the expenditures to $5S15.77.
No money was received from the former
administration, but as the balance at pres
ent in bank amounts to 81, 1852 81 a very
creditable showing, in his opinion, was
thus presented.
The adjutant general closed his report by
saying that many camps had difficulty in
preparing the muster rolls, owing to in
complete records but that he hoped to
finish that important work before he turned
his Office over to his successor
