It has fifteen more applications to act upon, and expects to increase to one hundred before the close of the year. Blaine Assembly is doing remarkably well, adding to its membership many who can only expregs themselves in the sign language. The manner in which the of- ficers of this assembly, “The Silent Workers,” conduct their work in a reve- | lation to fraternalists and is a first-class | object lesson to officers of other assem- blies. Oakland No. 2, one of the first assem- blies, while it has a large membership is always on the alert, adding to the assem- bly the best citizens that can be found. At no time do they shirk duties toward making it pleasant for those who attend the gatherings. It has formed a drill team, and the captain is known as one of the best drill masters about the bay. Oakland No. 2 will strive hard to hold its place in the ranks as one of the largest assemblies of the order.

Lewis, and then a most elo- quent address was dellvered by Judge George Samucls, speaker of the Senate, concluding with the delivery of the charter, which now makes Jefferson Assembly full ggown and eligible to transact its own Dusiness. It has passed the 100 mark and, with applications in sight, will reach the 200 mark within the next thirty days. Old Hickory Assembly No. 22, while not the largest in the order. is one of the most enthugiastic.
