AMERICA


large hall was uncomfort-
ably filled and the only
thing to mar the dancing was the fact
that there were too many dancers.
Johnson's orchestra furnished music
for dancing, and 1t was exceptionally
good. William H. Wachtel, the violin
list, certainly was at his best, whether
it was because BILLY" is called papa"
now because of that twelve-pounder
that recently arrived at his home, or
was 1t the crowd Of Woodmen and their
women who seemed to never tire of the
music that johnson and his orchestra
were playing for them. California camp
is becoming very popular, and es-
pecially It's social functions, since they
removed to Nine. Pico hall.
This camp meets every Monday night
and all Woodmen are cordially invited.

report at next meeting. Vernon camp
still thinks that the fraternal contest
piano would sound real sweet" in it's
camp hall, Vernon and Central ave-
nues That isn't all, they are going
after the piano, and already G. w.
Duzenbury has engaged a truckman to
go and take the piano from the music
house to Akeys hall on June %, so as
to have 1t In place by meeting night on
the 23d.
Golden State camp had a good ses-
sion last Wednesday evening and Con-
sui F. l.. Reynolds proved himself
splendid executive officer. There was
much important business transacted,
of which one of the most important
was the decision to take new hall in
the new Fra ternity building now in
course of erection on Grand avenue.
This is an important step for the camp
and will be means of placing 1t
among the most important lodges of
the city.
Col. c. e. Schroer, Past Consul c.
w. Allen and Advisor ]. A. Myers are
each pluming their feathers for the
trip to Peoria. Neighbor Myers is go
ing to look after the interests of the
camp and DR.. Allen will look after
Myers, while Col. Schroer will look
after both the others and incidentally
look for bride 90 in the Hoosier
state, but whether for himself or some
friend has not been made known.
All the camps of the city are pre-
pairing to participate in the memorial
services, which will be held Sunday,
June 6, at Rosedale cemetery. The
principal arrangements will be made
by Pacific camp, and every Woodman
in the city should attend the services,
as they will be very impressive. The
hour of commencement of the services

was made in the announcement of the

held the evening of June at 1861

place and date, as Neighbor Cooley
will have something good for all who
attend.
Golden State camp is preparing to
send its team to San Diego log rolling

along to see that 1t Is appreciated.
Captain Gregory is taking hold of the
team in approved fashion, and every
thing bids fair for Golden State camp
| team to hold its prestige as the crack
drill team of the southwest.
District Deputy J. o. Burgess made
flying trip to Pomona Wednesday
evening and reports the Woodmen Of
that ambitious little burg as being of
the right kind. He says they are
thrifty, prosperous and fraternal.
Sunset camp No. 1908, M. w. A.,
meets every Thursday evening at s
o'clock, S14 South Main street. Though
small 1t has the best attendance of any
camp in the city according to number
of members. Meetings are always
pleasant and fraternal. Last Thursday
night visiting neighbors were present
from three local camps and two
eastern camps. Deputy Head Consul

along fraternal lines. Adoptions nearly
every meeting night. Our first open
meeting and entertainment was held
