" 4 AXE pledSeQ TO give on THIS
wv page this week to the readers of
" The Herald the pictures of four
well known and representative Forest
ers.
Elliott E. Stevenson, who is the su-
preme chief ranger of the order, is an
attorney of national reputation, and is
recognized as a leader in the work of
fraternal beneficiary societies. He is a
man of fearless integrity and well quail
flied by training and temperament to
handle the responsibilities that attach
to the position Of supreme chief ranger.
His coming to Los Angeles is being
looked forward to by the thousands of
city and country Foresters, who will ex-
tend to him a true California welcome
in Blanchard hall on March 10, when
he will initiate a class of candidates
numbering five hundred.
The high chief ranger of the jurisdic-
ton of Southern California, DR.. c. B.
Dickson, is an old time resident of Los
Angeles, and has hosts of friends who
admire the excellent work he has done
in Forestry. He is serving his third
term as high chief ranger, which fact
alone indicates the confidence placed
in him by the membership. He is also
a member of the board of health, and is
interested and active in promoting the
citys welfare in many ways.
Brother Frank E. Hand is the super
! intendent Of organizers, and it is under
his leadership that the progressive work
| in Forestry is now being accomplished
He is a man Of action, and showed his
worth at the time Of the San Francisco
earthquake when he took charge Of the
Foresters relief work and made a rec
| ord that endeared him to the hearts OF
! his fellow members. He has charge OF
| the organizing work for the entire Pa
| cific coast and the northwestern states
and makes his home in Los Angeles. He
| is now finishing up the work Of the
| present campaign for more members
eliminating in the visit of the supreme
! chief ranger, and is to be congratulated
| on the results attained.
| We also present the picture of Com
| panion Franklin, who is president OF
| the companion assembly, an auxiliary
! organization Of companions that exem-
| plifies the ritualistic work and promotes
! the social features of the order The

| Miramar, and all Foresters are invited
! to attend.
A new court was instituted at Lam
| kershim on Friday evening with Dep
| uty Supreme Chief Ranger J. H. Jones
as instituting officer. Quite a few new
| courts have been instituted lately, an
| other index of the strides being made

disturbed by the descent upon the ma

The state banner has been awarded
to Golden State camp for the year 1903
for the largest camp in the state Two
years ago it was lost to the camp on
account of unfortunate circumstances
which reduced the membership about
$50 almost at one blow. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that at the beginning Of
the year 1907 the competitor and sue
cessful rival had $50 members more
than Golden State had on January
Golden State more than overcame this
great lead and by virtue of this splen-
did growth the coveted banner will
again adorn the walls.
The members of the camp are en-
thus1astic and there is no doubt that
the present year will be the banner
year OF the camp so far as growth is
concerned. The camp deputy, Neigh
Dor Julien A. Herbelin, is a Hustler
and is doing all he can to build UP the
camp. 1t is predicted that within
very few years Golden State will be
the greatest camp in the Jurisdiction

the last two years is maintained.
