j. /. Taylor have been planning some
thing new for the members of Golden
State camp in the way of prizes for
writing up new members. This was
limited at in the article two weeks ago,
but at that time had not been thor
oughly worked out. The plan as ma
tured is to give first, second and third
prizes each month until January 1, 1910,
to the members who stand highest in
point of numbers for the adoptions Sc
cured by them in each month. The
clerk has promised to wind up the cam

for the entire period, April 1 to De-
cember 81, 1910, valuable gold watch.
Sunset camp team of Foresters made
an attack on the Golden State fort at
431 South Hill street last Wednesday
night, and after a furious skirmish
with the outposts captured them and
carried everything before them, and
took the fort without resistance by the
garrison When the commander-in-
chief of the forces of Golden State
camp was informed of the nature of
the attack and the results of the foray
on the outskirts of the forest, he or
dered that arms be stacked and the
attackers be received and treated as
honored guests. This was done, and

Mr. Blackwood has had this produc-
tion in mind for several months, but 1t
was not until the arrival of Edgar
Walch, the new tenor of the organlza-
ton, that the project was possible. In
Chicago, with the international opera
company, Mr.. Walch alternated with
Dominica Russo in the role of the poet
Hoffman, and critical reports from the
Windy City were so Gathering that Mr..
Blackwood quickly decided to give Los
Angeles theater-goers their first hear
ing of this undeniably beautiful work
of Offenbach at the earliest opportu-
nifty. 1t will not only serve to intro
duce Mr.. Walch in line of operate
endeavor in which he Is at his very
best, but 1.-The Tales of Hoffman" also
will permit dainty Christina Nielsen to
contribute some notably fine singing TO
the performance.
1.-The Tales of Hoffman" has been
sung in but three cities in this country

pany. Chicago and San Francisco. The
opera was originally produced in Paris
