California Assembly No. 1 held a short business mgeting, which was fol- lowed by a pleasant entertainment, on September 13, in celebration of its mov- szl srAN | EIGHIOR S5 crecis | W B E3 - ing into new quarters in the Red Men's building. McKinley Assembly has secured quarters in the Alcazar building. South Berkeley Assembly initiated five strangers at its last meeting. e Independent Foresters. The indications are that the session of the High Court of the Independent Order of Foresters, which is to be held in San Diego during the early part of October, will be one of the most inter- esting that has ever been held in this State. A large number of members signified their intention to be on hand during thé& session, and for the first time the encampment of Royal Foresters of this city, to the extent of not less than twenty-five, will attend the session in new uniform. The indications are that G. Q. Stew- art, at present high vice chief ranger of the order in this State, will be ad- vanced to first place, that of high chief ranger, have in recognition of his earnest and valuable services. Mr. Stewart, thirty-second-degree Mason, past master of Pentalpha Lodge No. 202, F. and A. M., dnd member of Los Angeles Commandery, Knights Tem- plar, has been a great worker for that fraternity, as well as for the Foresters in which he holds his membership—in Court Diana No. 1132. He was ap- pointed a district deputy high chief ranger in 1900 and served two terms in that position. In 1962 he was appointed by then High Chief Ranger Cooper a general deputy high chief ranger, and while filling that position was selected as chairman of the San Francisco board of deputies. In the latter part of the year last named he was, by the supreme chief ranger, appointed a dep- uty supreme chief ranger and placed in chaxge of an office in The Call An- nex in the interest of the order in the rorthern half of the State. At the High Court session in Stockton last year he was elected high vice chief ranger by acclamation. During the time he was chairman of the board o? deputies he brought out the fact that he is a strong man, firm to a remark- abie degree, but who before he makes up his mind considers all circum- stances and conditions of a proposi- tion. This was evinced when occupy- ing the charimanship of the board of deputies, when his dominant power wag the factor that made it possible to in- duce the Supreme Court of the order, whieh was holding its session in Los Angeles, to hold one day of that ses- sion in San Francisco. He is a good judge of human nature, listens pa- tienUy to suggestions and advice for the good of the order, and is ready at all times to act favorably upon all that will redound to its benefit. He has, in various positions, displayed good exe- cutive ability and shown qualifications for strenuous work, and he has time and again stated that he does not want any one to work harder for the order than he is willing to work himself. He is”a great admirer of Dr. Oronhy- atekha, the supreme chief ranger, and .enjoys his full confidence. Court BSeal Rock at its last meet- ing initiated two strangers and re- ceived several applications. On that occasion the court was visited by offi- who is a ment during the winter months. It will also reorganize its Oriental Degree team and make it one of the best in the United States. The local encampment of the Royal Foresters has been presented by Nerney with a handsome silk Ameri- can flag. Companion Court Diana at its last session initiated two candidates. Companion Court Golden Gate is ar- ranging for a sqcial in October. Dr. W. Murray Johnson of Los An- geles, past high physician of the or- der, who came to this city to attend the session of the Knights Templar on Admission day, accompanied the For- esters on their picnic to Los Gatos. e T R \ Native Daughters. A distinctive feature of the parade in Oakland on Admission day was the part taken by different pariors of Na- tive Daughters of the Golden West. The display by Aloha, Piedmont, Alta, La Estrella, Orinda, La Vespero, Gen- evieve and Keith parlors were particu- larly noticeable by their attractiveness, particularly that of Alta Parlor. The Keith girls rode in buses and had as special guests Past Grand President Keith, for whom the parlor was named, and members of the Association of Pi- oneer Women. In the carriages provided during Ad- migsion day parade in Oakland for the grand officers of the Native Daugh- ters there rode in one Grand Presjdent Ella E. Camineiti, Grand Secretary Laura J. Frakes, Founder of the Or- der Lilly O. Reichling-Dyer and Grand Inside Sentinel Agnes McVerry, while the other was reserved for Grand Treasurer Emma Gruber Foley, Grand Trustees Anna F, Lacy and Corrine Lenhayt and Karoline A. Murray, ~grand organist, author of the “Native Daughters’ March.” Copies of the constitution as revised and adopted by the Grand Parlor will scon be ready for distribution to the various subordinate parlors. The grand president has directed the parlors to supply themselves with the new fun- damental law and destroy those which have been in use for some time past. The ofiicial march of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, com- posed by Karoline A. Murray and pub- lished by the Grand Parlor, is ready for distribution. Ali the delegates to the last held Grand & Parior pledged themselves to take a copy. It is a catchy march and it is expected that there will be a great demand for it. On Admisgion day in Oakland Mrs. Sarah G. Sanborn kept open house in the Foresters’' building for all Native Daughters. Past Grand Presidents C. K. Witten- meyer and Mariana Bertola, M. D., were in attendance at the Oakland cel- ebration. Miss Julia BE. Tanner, who recited an original poem on' California day at the World’s Fair at St. Louis, is a native of Sutter Creek, Amador Coun- ty, and is a remarkably fine elocution- ist, who on many occasions has de- lighted large audiences in Keith Par- lor, kwhlch she holds her membership and lfke audiences in other parlors. She is a graduate of a grammar school in the county in which she was born and of the Lowell High School of this city, of which school she was the histori- n. The poem she delivered was writ- en by another native of this State, Miss Anna Raphael, a graduate of No- tre Dame of San Jose. E The grand president and other grand officers will pay ‘an official visit on October 8 to Minerva Parlor in this -eity. % Among visitors to the office of the grand secretary during the early part of last week were: Lizzie Riester and S e SR E PomrnvELs SweTo, + TTRE.

Keith during her term as head of the order and which has . been issued by the Grand Parlor for the guidance of subordinates, will shortly be sent tc the various parlors, It is probable that each deputy grand president will be advised to secure a copy, so that the work of the order may be carried on with uniformity. Any member of the parlors can obtain a copy at g very small cost from the office of the grand secretary. At the grand ball given by the Native Sons in Oakland on the night of the Admission day celebration the grand march was ied by Grand Presi- Caminetti and L. M. Cob- rman of the executive the general committee, *d in the line by Grand Sec- retar Laura J. Frakes and J. R. Knowland and Past Grand President Eliza D. Keith and Charles A. Bolde- mann. oty 1 S D Knights and Ladies. The several lodges of the Knights and Ladies of Honor are interested at this time in making the Knights' and Ladies’ day and night at the Chutes a success, One of the most energetic workers for Aurora Lodge No. 202 is Chaplain Minnie Luton, who since she has been a member of the lodge has done much to increase the membership, and in view of what she has done she is being advanced from one position to another and it is,probable that before long she will be given the highest office within the gift of the lodge.
