Mr. HU1 Is a Put Grand Arctic

.?i.d during his resldouce lu Alaska,
durlug moat of which time ho resld
ed In Fairbanks, ho took an active
I art In all matter* pertaining to the
order. Ho la a Past Arctic Chief of
Camp Fairbanks No. 16. and ex-'
i rtssed his keeu regret at the act
ion of the Southeastern Alaska
Camps ot the Brotherhood at the
couveution held In Douglas last
March. - He Is confident that the
Interior camps will not ratify the ac
tion of the convention In Its rec
ommendation of a reorganization of
the order.
"Br the eloctlon of a Past Graud
Arcilc Chief said Mr. Hill, "It Is
my opinion that the delegatoa who
were In attendance at tho Douglas
convention hare gone beyond the In
tention of the subordinate camps.
The onl~ matter of contention that
existed between the Subordinate
Camps and the Grand Camp up to
tli? 1912 session was the place of
holding the Grand Camp meetings,
liy th- action taken at tho con
reutlon last March, through the
election of a Past Grand Arctic
Chief, all those loyal brothers who
have worked hard for the building
up of th- Brotherhood in tho early
davs. arc ousted from the order.
Fr>ra what I have been ablo to
learn the delegates took altogeth
er too drastic action at the March
conrentlop, and I am positive"
said he In clotting, "that the camps
of the Interior and the Yukon will
not stana for such action, and will
not ratlfr these unconstitutional
measures, and If the camps located
In Southeastern Alaska persist In
carrying out their recommendations
there will bo a division of tho
Brotherhood."
