There were present visitors from Boston, Sacramento, Stockton, Grass Vailey and from all of the local councils. It was admitted by all that Manzanita is “the it” in the Degree of Pocahontas in San Francisco, and that if any other council wishes to surpass it, in business methods and floor work, it will have to work steady and hard and secure a better, drill master than George Wheeler. The new tribe of Red Men that has been organized by Speclal Organizer Wheeler will be instituted October 12. Owing to the illness of Pocahontas- elect Nettie Wilson the new council organized by G. H.

General Deputy Wilson has been quite busy in his new headquarters during the past two weeks answering a circular sent out by an insurance company to each member in this city attacking the order.

Since the present deputy has been in office, only a few months, he has created a degree of enthusiasm to the extent that in the local councils one hundred and twenty candidates have been initiated.
