How Is that for solvency?
The ten largest camps in the Pacific
Jurisdiction had an aggregate mem
bership on November 1, 1908, of 1898.
There are over 500 camps in the Pa
cific Jurisdiction with q total member
ship of 100,S57.
Word has been received, unofficially
as yet, that Organizer Luther Flood
may be sent to Los Angeles for three
months campaign. Floods friends
and they are legion-will be rejoiced
to learn of his anticipated visit and
every member will vie with every other
member in making his campaign a
success. Flood is beyond doubt the
only organizer in this section that has
ever produced results. and his pres
ence in the city of Los Angeles will
restore confidence and bring about a
closer feeling between the members
and organizers.
The movement seeking toward
series of monthly union meetings of
the camps and circles inaugurated by
Eastlake camp has crystallized, and,
beginning with the first of the year,
there will be held under the auspices
of the joint orders high class enter
tainments with the purpose in view of
building up the membership.

Mrs. Kate Wirtenberger, whose hus-
band died about five weeks ago, and
