 Important Matters
 "One of the big questions that will come up before the Grand Camp" Grand Arctic Chief Reed said this morning, will be the problem Of making the Arctic Brotherhood more of social force among the men of the North. After the first of next year, the Territory will so dry; men will need a place to congregate and enjoy the companionship of one an- other. and 1t seems to me that the subordinate camps of the Arctic can become of valuable service in this matter by promoting the club room idea in their respec- tive communities.
 Many other matters of importance are to come up before the Grand Camp. In this period of great de. in Alaska, an admirable opportunity is offered to serve the greater good of the Territory, and the Arctic Brotherhood can become more of a force than 1t has ever. been."
