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. Officers were then elected as
follows: Rev. E. A. Child, Venerable
Consul; Wm. T. Fogle, Advisor; Wm.
D. Arnold, Banker; B. F. Wilhoit,
Clerk; S.M. Bailey, Escort; Orange
F. Hodges, Watchman; E. C, Craw
ford, Sentry; Dr. J. H. Rosenberg, J.
. Campbell and A. H. Kennedy,
Managers; Drs. H. P. Belknay, E. 0.
Hyde and J. H. Rosenberg, Camp
Physicians. 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. Hulin, and the twelfth
camp organized by himself during the
year 1902. Mr. Hulin has labored earn
