on st. Andrews night, 1873. The men,
bership was limited to Scotchmen, sons
or descendants of Scotchmen or Scotch
women. Consequently the order has
never figured as one of the large or
ders. It's history is, however, one of
continued progress. The membership
is more than $4,000. There are 1913 clans
scattered over the United States and
Canada.
One of the objects of the order is to
establish a fund for the relief of the
sick clansmen and TO extend to them
success and sympathy and to institute
and maintain a fund for the benefit
of widows and orphans of deceased
clansmen. Another object Is to culti-
vate fond recollections of Scotland, it's
customs and amusements and to keep
alive the memory of Scotland's glorious
history, replele Win QeeQS Oh uaunJ-

resolution, heroic and patriotic sacri-

liberty.
The chief and father of Clan Cam
eron No. 10 is NJ. c. Meikleiohn, we'll
known in Scottish circles and resident
of Los Angeles for twenty-five years.
He is true son of Scotia, having been
born in the historic and picturesque
town of Sterling in 1864.
The physician is DR.. Tom Davidson,
well known to all Los Angelenos. He
is from the far north, from Caithness.
The district deputy, representing the
royal chief, is Peter T. Anderson.
The clan has a membership of sixty
eight and is doing a great work in
bringing together Scotchmen for their
mutual advancement, improvement
and enjoyment, and the future of the
organization is very bright.
The clan has sent out invitations,
limited to 400, for attendance to a Sc
lect dance to be held next Tuesday
night at Kramer's hall, Grand avenue.

held aloof from the commission, but
intends to take up the proposition once
more. If the commissioners max East
Orange an equitable proposition it may
enter the scheme.
