Before the national encampment at
Tanueil hall, Boston. Mass.
The department of California calls
special attention of the camps under
its jurisdiction 10 the tenth anniver-
sary of the declaration of war with
Spain. Commander Moulton, in gem
cl al order says:
April % is the tenth ami
Nersary of the declaration of war be-
tween the United Staes and Spain. It
seems fitting that the date should be
remembered and observed by all the
camps of this department in their re-
spective jurisdictions. Future histori-
ans recording the history of our coun-
try will give this date as the beginning
of an epoch, marking the introduction
of the United States of America as the
foremost nation of the age. To most
of us it marks the beginning OF our
service under tine flag of the great re-
public. To millions of people, on the
islands of the Atlantic and the Pacific,
il marks the end of savish subsection
Ia. European monarchy. and the be-
ginning of an era of self government.
rhe man is not born who can see or
fortell the result of that war; enough
is however known to fully justify us
in setting it aside as a date to be re-
membered and observed"

of California, Royal Arcanum, enter
tanned the members of Los Angeles
council No. 1889 and members of WIS.,
iting councils. The subject selected
by the doctor was Scientific Re
searches" a subject to which Brother

The members were very enthusi-
aStic In their praises on the able man.
ner in which he handled his subject.
Brother Boynton informed the members
and officers of the council that he was
ready at any time to serve them, that
he was always delighted to meet with
his brother fraters of the Royal Ar
csnum. Those of the members who
have heard the doctor know that what

The orator of Los Angeles council.
Brother Donnelly, states that this is
only a starter of what he has in store
for the council during his term OF
office.
The report of the supreme secretary
Of the several grand jurisdictions for
1907 shows that the grand council of
California stands at the head of the
list in percentage of net gain in MEM
hership. Grand Secretary Maloon has
just issued his annual report for the
grand council, year ending February
90. 1908. showing the percentage of
gains made by each council under the
jurisdiction of the grand council. San
ia Rosa council has again, for the third
time, won the prize banner awarded by
the grand council for the largest per
cent gain in new members initiated in
the order during the grand council
year The percentage made by this
council was 62.22. The banner now be-
comes the property of the council. The
members of this council are indeed
great hustlers for members. and other
councils would do well to follow their
example.
The minstrel troupe of Angeleno
council No. 1908 are soon to appear be
