The camp has been in an unsettled
condition for a few weeks on account
of the dissatisfaction felt by many
Of the neighbors with the new quar-
ters. This discomfort crystallized into
action at our last meeting, and it was
decided to secure another hall. The
board of managers and w. H. Taggart
and ]. I. Taylor were appointed to Sc
cure a suitable hall. They were very
fortunate in securing the large hall in
the l.. A.-P. building on Hill street,
between Fourth and Fifth streets. They
have secured for the camp the absolute
control of this hall, and will fit it up
and sublet it to other lodges. 1t will
be ready to move into about the 1st Of
March, and will be one of the finest
lodge halls in the city. The office Of
the clerk will be on the second floor.
Golden State camp will have the dis
tinction of being the banner camp OF
Modern Woodmen again in California
this year. In the last year it has made
record Of which it may well feel
proud, for, Notwithstanding the dull
times, it has added to the membership
roster full 700 names. On the 1st day
Of January, 1907, the membership ros-
ter showed even 1850 names in good
standing. 1t now has over 1850. In the
last year more memebrs were adopted
by Golden State camp than by any
other camp in the state.
That the last two have been strenu-
Gus years for the camp many of the
members could testify, for many ad-
verse conditions had to be overcome.
But now that it will soon be settled In
it's own hall it may be expected that
the same amount Of energy will do
much more toward building up the
camp.
