America Or. faal4. On Monday evening Dec. 8, a camp of The Modern Woodmen was insti tuted in Priueville by Dist, Deputy 8. A. Hulin. The charter list was com posed of 49 names, among which were soma of Prineville's most respected and prominent citizens. At 8:30 o'clock the meeting was called to order and after the election of charter members they were all obligated and instructed iu the secret work of the order.

The installation -of offi cers followed, which owing to the beautiful charges given the officers, and the earnestness displayed by the Deputy in so doing, made it very im pressive and effective. On taking the chair as presiding officer neighbor Child made a few well chosen and appropriate remarks, which brought forth hearty applause from the entire membership. Other officers followed with brief remarks. Recess was then taken and the members accepted and signed their certificates and partook of light refreshments, furnished by the Dist. Deputy, and prepared by neigh bor Bonncy, and greatly appreciated by the neighbors of tho camp, if we are to judge by the manner they, (the refreshments, not the neighbors) din- J appeared. After recess the initiatory work of the order was exemplified by the Dist. Deputy acting as Chief For ester, and with all officers in their stations. Neighbor W. C. Black was appointed Chief Forester and expects soon to have a' well drilled forestry team. There was great interest mani fested by the members and the camp has bright prospects ahead. Several visiting neighbors were present and rendered much assistance. This is the eighth camp of the Modern Woodmen, organized since last June in this county, by District Deputy 8. A.
