SONS OF ST. GEORGE

Royal Oak lodge decided at the meet
ing last Monday night to hold an old
fashioned British smoker next Monday
night at the lodge hall, and have the
thing entirely informal. the admittance
fee 10 cents and refreshments appro-
pirate in quantity to the occasion.
The committee on entertaining the
grand lodge from san Francisco, to be
here in July, reported progress, the en-
gagement of a hall large enough for
the deliberations, and correspondence
with Riverside, Long Beach and Pas
adena lodges regarding the receptions
to be given for the benefit of the grand
lodge.
1t is expected that an impetus will be
given to the growth of the order in
Southern California on account of the
assembly, of the organization in this
district.
1t is estimated that 10000 suitable
candidates for membership live in Los
Angeles. The Canadian, Irish, Scotch
and Welsh contingents of the British
empire residents in this vicinity all
have associations. and it is considered
right and proper that the British also
should assemble in union, and form an
organization that may be quite useful
in politics if nothing else. San Fran
cisco has two lodges of the order, both
increasing in membership.
