The neighbors of Vernon camp adopt
ed three new members last meeting and
accepted the applications of four more.
Vernon camp has rattling, rollicklng
good time every meeting, and gets
out a percentage of their members
that would burst either of the big
camps with pride. 1t is difficult for
some of the bigger camps to have
enough out to transact the business of
the camps in an interesting way.
California camp had Neighbor j. o..
Burgess as guest of honor at its meet
ing last Wednesday night. Neighbor
Burgess has been out among the camps
of his district much lately and reports
that good work is being done by nearly
all the camps in his jurisdiction.

ties Charlie will show what can be done
with one good live one.

Herbelin last week, who was kept out
of the work by the serious illness and
death of his mother. Eight to sixteen
candidates have been the order each
meeting. Last wednesday night only
five showed UP and three applications
were presented. This demonstrates the
value of the deputy system by which

greatest of the fraternal beneficiary So
cieties.
The forester team of Golden state
camp has charge of the next open meet
ing, and it will be a hummer IT will
be the last Wednesday of this month.

woman of beautiful character and

missed by all the members of her
household and a large circle of ac-
ouaintances. Her three sons-Julien,
Victor and Marcelle-are members of
Golden state camp, and they have the
heartfelt sympathy of all the members.

WANT COOKS RECORDS FIRST.
Danes Not Willing to Waive Right tc
North Pole Data

Copenhagen. Oct. 5.-The announce
ment OF DR.. Cooks willingness to re-
quest the University of Copenhagen TO
waive its right to the first examination
of his records of the journey TO the
north pole caused keen disappointment
and whatever may be the reply of the
university TO the explorers request.
present indications do not foreshadow
graceful acquiescence on the part of
the general public The rector of the
university says:
mo such request has yet been re-
ceived from Dr. Cook and it is impos-
sible te say what attitude the nniver-
sity will take towards the suggestion
that American and other scientific
bodies shall first review the explorer
data. The action of the university will
depend upon the son DIR. Cook gives.
Strong influences may have been
brought to bear on DR. Cook in order
to cause him 10 prefer such request
The general public is inclined to be
annoyed al the suggestion that foreign
scientific bodies shall first see the rec
iords. The people consider the promise
TO give the university first opportunity
of passing on the records as nothing
but justice in view of the honors
heaped upon the explorer by both the
university and the Danish public, and
their ungrudging support and belief in
his exploits.
