The office which attracted the greatest attention was that of clerk, which at the end of this term will be vacated by D. Oliver Jr.,, who has held it for ever so many years. The reason for the retire- ment of Mr. Oliver, who is admitted to be the best clerk that is to be found in any camp of the jurisdiction, is that he will have In the future to devote his at- tention to the editorship of the Pacifie ‘Woodman, to which position he was elect- ed at the last held camp session. The election resulted in the choice of the fol- lowing named: Willlam Carr, consul commander; W. D. Ferguson, advisor Heutenant; T. F. Quinlan, banker; J. T. O’Donnell, clerk; John Wisnom, assistant clerk; J. J. Donahue, escort; T. J. Thomp- son, watchman; David Brown, sentry, and William Spier, manager. n Another Innovation in Up-to-Date.
