termined to make the team a Success, and

"A very pleasant surprise was rendered
Brother Dunkerley, high secretary, Fri
day noon at the City dye works. where
he was formerly employed. He was lured
to the works under the pretense of writ
ing UP one or two of the employees who
have not yet seen the light of Forestry,
but while in the department Of which he
was formerly foreman, the gentle fair
ones, with faces agiow gathered around
~ nd fad h TN, xxyit6 odd
and a beautiful watch fob OF Forestric
design, as a farewell token of the esteem
III which he is held by them, his former
coworkers. Brother Dunkerey was so
taken by surprise that he was dumb and
opened not his mouth; but a speech was
demanded, and after turning all the diff
ferent colors known to the facial meta
physics, and swallowing Adams apple a
few times, he responded with words of
thanks. appreciation and fond and lasting
memories.
The City dye works has in it's employ
about fifteen Foresters, including E. E.
Eastin. the popular manager and stock
holder.
Court temple held its regular meeting
Tuesday evening with a large attendance
OF the members. A committee is being
formed, to be known as the 510 member
ship commfttee with the object of rails
ing the membership of the court to that Of
the court number, 3d. during the year
1903. A meeting will be called this week
to make arrangements. Come to the
meeting Tuesday evening and nearn more
of this work. A team for degree work
and drill is also forming. and any young
member wishing to be one of the team
ehould be on hand Tuesday night and be
enrolled. Next Tuesday night will be our
regular social night for the members and
their friends, but the above important
matters will be discussed.
Court Pomona, Pomona, CAL, held
Halloween social Wednesday evening and
was honored by visit of the high sec
retary, S. c. Dunkerley. A large num-
ber were in attendance and a very pleas
ant time enjoyed.
Court Los Angeles at the regular meet
ing Thursday night passed an amend
ment to the bylaws reducing its local dues
cents per month, commencing with the
payment for the month of December;
therefore the members will have a de-
crease of cents in their total payment.
This is but another instance Of what can
DO done by numerical strength and CO.
operation. This court having large
membership, and local funds rapidly in
creasing, decided to give the members the
direct benefit by reducing their local pay
ments. Money may be scarce In the
banks in the Union, but not so in the
independent Order of Foresters We al
ways have it for those who are entitled
to it, and they get it Johnnie on the spot.
Court Morris Vineyard initiated forty
five candidates during the month of Oc-
tober, with the prospect of fifty during
November, very largely due to the efforts
and faithful work of Brother Sam Reed,
ably assisted by a number Of the men,
bers.
Court Harmony held very interesting
and enthusiastic meeting Friday night,
large number of members being present;
also the high secretary graced the meet
ing with his presence. The committee on
promotion reported and the outlook for
large limitations Is decidedly good and
encouraging. Court Harmony being a
young court, has the advantage of a
youths vigor, aspirations confidence and
determination. Where youth, experience
and might unite pothing can resist 'em.
Brother Hand visited Court Cotton Fri
day night He also called on the breth-
rem at Riverside. He is now going to Los
Banos, Cal, to institute a new court.
Brother r. G. Doyle gave housewarm-
ing Saturday night for the entertainment
Of his Forester friends. AS is always the
case when Brother Doyle is at the helm,
a good time was enjoyed.
We are receiving good reports from
Brother Slusser, D. S. c. r., at Paso
Robles and Salinas. where, under his
guidance, Forestry is making itself known
and appreciated.
The popularity of the Independent Or
der of Foresters never was greater than
at the present time. This is especially
true in California, for from every quarter
we receive word of not only enthusiasm,
interest and intentions, but good large
limitations and additions to the member
ship.
when a person or combination of per-
sons become we'll know and favorably
known they command respect, confidence
and patronage by such reputation. This
h especially true Of our order, which,
having been known for thirty-three years,
and of which nothing discreditable can be
said, is now reaping the benefit of sound
principles, material and adequate bene-
ats and honest and judicious manage
