be here from Rock Island, 111., on or
about November 2 to preside over the big

camp, 125V4 South Spring street, Tuesday
I A meeting of the a good attendance of,
was held at the office of Golden State
camp, 125tf South Kprins street, Tuesday
night. There was n good attendance of,
delegates and a great deal of activity re
< ported from the various camps of Wood-
{ men.' ¦ :•¦.¦¦ .-....•.....¦..
Consul L. F. Colo nf Watts had the fol
lowing to say of his camp: "Our boys
are getting candidates lined up In great
shape for the big class adoption. We
have already obligated eleven and have
some more under way. We have a small
membership, but are growing rapidly.
One of our members, a man who 1 is now
lame, is around on crutches after ellg-
Ibles."
Watts camp Is certainly alive. The
members there will have about twenty
live new members for Consul Talbot to
adopt.
Out at Garvanza they have the spirit
all right, and are getting ready to show
their loyalty to the cause. They will
have a lot of new members to help swell
the class to be adopted in November.
Borne time ago Highlands camp dlsbancled

Increasing the membership of the latter
camp very materially.
South Pasadena was represented at the

Foster and Clerk -George Sanford, the 1
latter % belng also the treasurer of tha
head consul entertainment committee.
Tho two Illustrious delegates reported
great progress in their camps. They have
divided their, camp into two sides, the
"Whites" and "Blacks." The members of
the opposing sides will start a big con
test next week and the side getting the
most members during the month of Octo
ber will feast, at the expense of the losing
side. This should create a grettt deal of
interest and be the means of bringing a
large number of delegates into the fold.
Live Oak camp, which is the name of
the camp at South Pasadena, was organ
ized last January by S. D. McDonald,
who is deputy head consul with Golden
State camp. The camp was Instituted
with about thirty members, and now It
has nearly one hundred. The boys started
In right off to run their membership up
to the hundred mark, and have almost
attained their desired end.
They do things at South Pasadena, and
the Modern Woodmen camp has more
members there now than any other secret
order.
Pasadena delegates reported that their
camp was working with all its might and
that they would have about fifty mem
bers to add to the roll for the big class
adoption. They have a good camp at
Pasadena and are alive at all times to
the interest of Woodcraft.
Pacific camp of Los Angeles Is endeavor
ing to put on 150 new members for tho
claBS adoption. They have* grown won
derfully in the past and will be apt to
- reach the desired number before the com
ing of the head consul.
Vernon camp, which me"ets at Forty
fourth street and Central avenue, was
represented at the meeting and declared
emphatically that it would have lots of
timber at the class adoption. Vernon has
about 300 good members and the camp is
growing rapjdly. There was an opening
meeting at Vernon camp last Tuesday
night and a large number turned out.
The delegates from the head consul meet-
Ing went over to pay the Vernon Neigh
bors a friendly visit after the committee
meeting broke up.
California camp, which has more than
200 good members, meets every Monday
night at 814 South Main street. The Cali
fornia boys declare that they will have
thirty or forty members in line for the
big adoption. California camp has one of
the best drill teams in the state and Is a
thoroughly alive organization.
Compton, Whittlcr, Ocean Park, Glen
dora, Lordsburg; Artesla, Glcndale, Co
vina, San Dimas, Gardena and other
camps tn the Jurisdiction have all signi
fied their intentions of having a big rep
resentation at the class adoption.

camp will hold a big open meeting to
which the general public is invited. There
will be singing, speeches, feasting and
other entertainment for the visitors.
Golden State team will go to Monrovia
and give Borne exhibition drills. There
will be a street parade, headed by the
Golden State band, which will also go out
for a little "time" that evening. The
I team will drill during the parade and will

¦* monthly social next : Wednesday night.
I The program for the meeting will be quite
I "elaborate and .will be made up strictly

ilies. The general public is invited to the
social and no charge will be made. The
band will be on hand to enliven things.
•John Myers will give one of his famous
¦ clog and Jig : dancing exhibitions, whHe
¦ ' the Ross "boys" will sing several ; old
' Scotch songs In their inimitable manner.
The boys arc familiarly called the "Scotch
¦'„_ terriers." >
i Music for the dance, which will wln,d up
the affair, will be furnished by members
of Golden State camp. The first Wednes
day night In each month is always cele
brated l>y Golden State camp with a big
social, affair. Sometimes refreshments are
served. Tho affairs aro becoming so pop
ular that the hall will hardly hold the
people that attend.
Last Wednesday night Golden State
camp held a regular business meeting.
There were fifty applications for member
ship for the week, eleven initiatlpns and
seven admitted by transfer. A big time
was had and some fun gotten out of the
newly made members. Golden State will
be represented at the class adoption by a
large number of newly made members.
Golden State has just purchased a fine
Diebold safe for its office. The safe cost
1260 and is the largest safe owned by any
Woodmen camp in the state.

drill team at Whlttier August 10 is on
exhibition at Nickel's, 137 South Spring
street, where a large photograph of the
members of the team is also exhibited.
Tho beetle, ax and wedge, emblems of
the order, are fashioned In a floor of
sugar in front of the cup and picture.
The team, having won the cup twice in

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
- ¦ofc,^ ' Marathon lodge ; members
*sßf were saddened ,to learn of
t £jm ¦ the death of Brother B. F.
I _JJ'^ Orr last week. Brother Orr
was one of the old time
'*^{WSr* r members, who became iden
*^^"s(fir* tilled with the order many
\T** ' years ago. ' ¦ .
The uniform rank team of Marathon
lodge at' the request ot Interdomain lodge,
last night Initiated five candidates in the
third degree at the lodge rooms of Inter
domain on Hill street. After the business
of the evening was concluded a banquet
was tendered the vtsltors and felicitous
addresses were made on behalf of both
organizations. The occasion was of a
character to exemplify the fraternal fel
lowship which permeates this order.
At. the suggestion of Past Chancellor
Robert G. Loucks of Pomona lodge sev
eral months ago the idea of offering a
trophy to the lodge most proficient In the
Initiatory work was favorably considered
by trie Knights of Pythias lodges of tho
county and the immediate result was that
a committee of three from the city and
county was appointed. This committee
adopted rules and regulations to govern
the Knights of Pythias association of
Los Angeles county. The plans were
eagerly assented to by ten Knights of
Pythias lodges of tho county and all
began immediately to get busy. The idea
that a friendly rivalry would have a ten
dency to stimulate the work and bring it
to a higher state of efficiency, especially
in the rank of Knight strongly appealed
to them. A beautifully designed silver
loving cup was procured as ttio prize
for the winning team, which team, in or
der to permanently retain the trophy,
must win It three years in succession
against all comers. Already five prelim
inary contests have "been held and the
rivalry Is keen. The first semi-final con
test between Los Angeles and Long
Beach lodge was won by the latter. The
second seml-tlnal contest will take place
in Los Angeles at the castle hall, 10S
North Spring street, on Tuesday evening,
October 15, between Marathon and Po
mona lodges, both of which are very
well up in their work. In the preliminary
contests Pasadena was defeated by Los
Angeles, Long Beach defeated Santa
Monica, Marathon of Los Angeles de
feated Alhambra, Whittler defeated
Gauntlet of Los Angeles, Pomona de
feated Samson of Los Angeles.
Chancellor Commander H. L. Dunlap
of Marathon lodge, who in every day life
is deputy clerk of the superior court, is
busy preparing the supreme court cal
ender, which Is to be considered by the
seven" judges at their fall sitting in Los
Angeles beginning October 21.
Members of Marathon No. 182 are ob
serving with interest the contest Earl
Rogers, a brother member, has on hand
in Ban Francisco, w-here he has a little
business with the astute Francis Heney
In the graft trials. The opinion prevails
that Rogers can go some and will give
the best kind of an account of himself.

with the magnificent entertainment pro
vided for our visitors, practically bank
rupted our treasury, but for your infor
mation I would state that not one dollar of
the treasury of Al Malaikah temple was
used, and your potentate has saved suffi

"President John W. Edwards of the AJ
Malaikah Auditorium association has is
sued preliminary notices for the opening
of our mammoth coliseum, October 24,
and from the inside I have learned that
It Is to be positively the swellest ball over
given in Los Angeles. Naturally, affairs
of this kind must be conducted most care
fully and the greatest possible scrutiny
given to the names of those outside of
our shrine who desire invitations.
"From the plans that have been un
folded to me It would seem that this as

electric lights, and a sight never to be

#The several committees
appointed to make ar
rangements for the high
court meeting at Redondo,
October 10, 11 and 12, are
doing everything in their
power to make the coming
session one long to be remembered. For
esters' day, October 12, will eclipse all
previous events, beyond all doubt. The
plans* are elaborate, and all details are
being carefully and systematically worked
out; nothing is being left undone that
will make October 12 a day of continu
ous enjoyment. The prize committee!
has secured an aggregation of prizes that
for number 'and value Is too great to
describe, and can only be apreclated by
a personal observation and Inspection.
They are on display in the Redondo rail
way office window on Second ttreet, and
at 309 West Fourth street. Go have a
look, and if there is any sporting trait
in you, you will at once go Into train-
Ing, for you will realize tha" there are
enough prizes for all, and of such value
as to stir up the sporting blood of a
professional.
Tho barbecue October 12 will be on a
gigantic scale and designed to fill, fat
ten and tickle tho palate. Brother Doyle,
professional barbeculst, who has charge,
has secured 12,000 pounds of beef, not
sole leather, but young, tender, juicy
meat, the kind that causes you to loosen
a button or two before you are satisfied.
The professor is still buying beef. Every
body come, we will feed you, and do it
systematically and expedltlously.
Brother Kennedy, D. S. C. R., Initiated
a large class of candidates into Court
Redondo Friday night.
Brother Blusser, D. S. C. R., led twen
ty-five canditdatcs through the paths
of the forest at Paso Robles last week.
Court Morris Vineyard has a 1000 mem
bership button for the lapel of each
member's coat; they are good o.nes and
are suggestive and inspiring; get one,
boys. Brother Stedman says the figures
on the button are not high enough, as
the membership of th# court will pass
the 1000 mark before the members have
become fully acquainted with the button.
Have you seen the delegates' Redondo
button? It Is a beauty, and is designed
to Identify the delegates, and to boom
Foresters' day.
Old Court Temple last Tuesday night
again surprised and entertarffed Its mem
bers and the visiting brethren with some
thing new in initiatory work. Brother
Dunkerley Is always working on some

of his schemes.
Brothers Dunkerley and Eberle have
completed the nudit of the books of
high secretary and high treasurer.
Court Occident is again on the war
path for recruits, and has> Issued a neat

preciated by the visiting official.
The dance given by Court Los Angeles
Thursday night waß a decided success,
the soul-stlrrlng strains of the Fetsch or
chestra seemed to nil the air with life
and enjoyment, and to dispel the gloom of
melancholy; nothing like a first-class or
chestra to rclnstlll the elixir of life and
to bffnlsh dull care. Besides having an
eujoyab'.e evening, a very satisfactory
number of applications were written for
membership in this old reliable court.
At the last regular business meeting of

the exalted degree to one member in a
very impressive and entertaining manner.

LABOR NEWS
I -~Kmßn^ (, Tho ¦ • Labor ; Union : < .
_^^^^=._ headquarters !on South ¦ '
; < Jg^j^|l#^>Ban Pedro ; street 1 , was r,
.' . l^**3HsCS^^ ' ! the scene ' of .' a hearty ;
demonstration yesterday of J labor . union
men. ;¦ who • gathered In ;. the * ; hall Xof {, the -\
building and congraUilated each other on', ..
the remarkable success which the unions
have so far met with In the construction . ¦'
of their building on: Maple avenue, be
tween Fifth and Sixth streets. •¦¦"'., '¦;'/. yJ'ii; ;'
There were all in all about 800 persona
present, many of whom were women, tho
wives of union men.
A number of addresses were made, nota
bly one by \/. A. Engle, the secretary of
tho publicity committee. Central Labor
council, and by Stanley B. Wilson, chief
political organizer of the Union political
party of Los Angeles.
The new Labor Union temple has al
ready reared Its steel skeleton work as;
high as tho fifth story, and the unions
are in hopes that the two remaining
stories of steel work will be added in as
many weeks. It is thought that the
structure will be complete by the first of
the year, at all eve"nts. It will ba
throughout a representative, modern, fire
proof building, finished on the exterior
with granite, stone, and brick, and the
interior will be equipped as comlpetely as
any office building In the city.
No financial difficulties have been ex
perienced so far by the building commit
tee, and the union men have showed ex
ceptional enthusiasm In meeting the de
mands .of the committee when called
upon. Labor day enough receipts were
taken in to continue the work until Its
completion, and last Sunday the building
fund was swelled by the Seal Garden pic
nic, at which a good sum was secured
through the selling of tickets.
The building, with the exception of the
first floor, which will be rented out for
stores, etc., will be occupied by the Union
Labor Central council, the offices of tha
various unions, a library, smoking- room,
lounging rooms, bath apartments and
other accommodations, for the use or
pleasure of the labor union men. It Is
the Intention of the Central council to
establish a second home for the working
man, where he can while away an hour
or two of pleasure each day, and make
use of a!! the privileges of the building.
The object is to make the union as much
of a social organization as political and
business, as they are mostly at present,
and to get the workingmen better ac
quainted with each other and thus solid
ify the unions by furthering social rela
tions among the members.
Mr. Wilson \a.a repeatedly applauded
in his address. He said in part: "AH the
labor union men of this city and aH over
the state, as far as that Is concerned, are
congratulating us on the new Labor
Union temple, which will mean a great
deal more to the unions than merely com
fortable headquarters. If I am not mis
taken we will have the best headquar
ters when our building is completed of
any central labor council of any city west
of Chicago and St. Louis.
The present quarters have proved inad
equate ever since the first day of their
occupancy, but the Central Labor coun
cil felt that If It secured our present
quarters It would be under less expense
and could lay aside the surplus otherwise >
expended for additional rent for the pur
pose of the erection of the labor temple
at present under construction.
"The new temple will have a vast audi
torium in it, with a seating capacity ofl
over 1000 people. When our meetings are
held in that place we hope that all the
union men will be present, but I am
afraid if that should be the case there
would Jiot even be standing room in tho
auditorium. Especially is this true since
all the unions as such have been Increas
ing wonderfully In the last few months."
Comments were then made upon tha
private business of the Central Labor
council, and when Mr. Wilson ended his
speech the business committee resumed
Its work and the minutes were read of
the last business meeting. After tha
meeting nearly all of the members pur
chased tickets for the performance which
was held last nl&at at the Auditorium for
the benefit of the striking telegraphers,
with whom the union men are In sym
pathy.
The Carpenters' union, No. 158, reports
a constant Increase of members, chiefly
eastern workmen, who are flocking to this
city by the trainload. .The union has in
curred heavy expenditures the past week
In the way of Insurance payments and
other necessaries. Yet this feature is set
off by the continued prosperity of tho
union from an Increase In membership
point of view.
H. C. Palmer, a well known union man
of this city, is confined to a local hospi
tal, having been operated on his right ey»
in an attempt to regain his lost sight of
that eye. Ho Is reported as doing well.
