GOOD INCREASE IN 1905
6. A. r. of this State Does
Very Well Last
Year .<.

The campaign which Commander
q: +. Macdonald and Adjutsut O. 5.
Clark began last summer for an in
crease in the membership Of the
Grand Army, Las brought good re-
suit judging by the reports of the
membership committee of the depart
mont for the lsst six months of the
last year. For the first time in many
years the membership of the depart
ment shows net gain. and this in
the face Of large loss by death.
Last summer after 1t has been de
Oded that the national encampmept
was to be held in Minneapolis this
year the department officers set about
10 bring in q number Of the veterans
who were not members and increase
tho membership 80 as'to make a good
showing at the encampment. By
comparing the census records with
the membership rolls they found that
OF 0,798 soldiers and sailors of the
Civil war in the state only 5.497 were
members of the order MANY mad
never been members and others had
been suspended.
Inc complete reports for the SIX
months from July to Jan !, show
that the membership of 5, 497 has been
added 286 members. The loss In that
time has been 50 by death, II by hon
orable discharge, As by transfer and
100 suspensions, total Of 260. This
makes q net gain of rs and leaves q
total of 8, s23.
On Jan. /, 1906. the department
had 6,612 members and until July /,
1905, gained 100. During this time the
i9ss was 105 by death, IL hoDorably
discharged, 26 transcend, 1874 sus.
pended, making total loss of 9O5
and a net loss of ID, leaving the
membership of 6.497, July /.
The net loss for the wear was
eighty nine, but the officers expect
that the increase for eome time will
90 at the rate of the past few months
md that before the encsmpment next
fall several hundred new names will
be added.
