them into Pacific camp
California camp has secured the ser

Colorado, who has started in to dong
business for that camp that will soon
bring it to the front of the really ac-
tive camps of the jurisdiction. Sunset

ICvery night they meet something IS
doing there, and Neighbors Getchell,

Interesting for any visiting memper
who pretends to get sleepy while spend
ing an evening in their meetings. They
are getting the members, too. East

ing fayorably and are doing their snare
toward building up the society in Los
Angeles.
Golden State camp, the Old Reliable,
is in the points for best work II mas
ever done. There is never night that
II does not adopt a good class of new
members, and the men that are joining
now fully maintain the high standard
Of membership that has always made
Golden State the most progressive as
we'll as one of the most fraternal
camps in the jurisdiction of Wood
craft.
The genial deputy of the camp re-
ported yesterday that the stork had
Visited his home and had left another
Woodman there. He did not say
whether the customary fee for new
members was left at the same time or
not. The members congratulate Neigh
bor Herbelin and hope that the new
Woodnaan will do we'll and Will soon
he able to ride the camp goat.
A whist party will be given at the
cann hall. 431 South Hill street, next
Saturday night to the members OF
Golden State camp and their families.
These whist parties are becoming q
nonular thing with the members, and
| II is predicted that they Will become
a permanent feature.
