ll WORK FOR CHANGE urtain nmi Local Woodmen Would Bring Headquarters Here. . THE SUJNDAr 'JKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, AUGUST 11, 1907. ijevortz j NOW LOCATED AT DENVER Contend That This City Is Most Cen. tral of Any in Pacific Jurisdic tion of Order Others " in the Race. At the next tri-ennlal session of the Woodmen of the World, to be held In Portland In 1910. an earnest and united effort Is to be put forth by the local members of the order to have the gen eral headquarters moved from Denver to Portland. It is believed by the Woodmen of this state that this city is the most central location for the head camp, two-thirds of the entire membership of the Pacific Jurisdic tion. Including all territory west of the Missouri River. being In Oregon, Washington and California. On this theory it Is argued that the seat of government should be near the homes of the great majority of the mem bers. The. Woodmen, from their general headquarters, transact a great mall order business, employing constantly CO clerks and using several hundreds of dollars worth of stamps every month. As the membership increases this business is of course augmented Large amounts of printed matter are sent out each month to the various lodges throughout the country. Although other Pacific Coast cities will endeavor to secure the headquar ters, the "choppers" of Portland feel that they will easily win from superi ority of location. It is also expected that they will be able to point with ' pride to the great progress and growth Of the local lodge. As a move to this end local Wood men have persuaded General Organizer Peter F. Gllroy to bring to this city IT of the best field men at his com mand. He is to address the members Of the various camps about Portland on the following dates, the meetings be ing open to all members of the order and their friends: August 12, Pros perity Camp.

Fire Truck Called Out to Save Puppy Dojr Imprisoned on Window Ledge High Above Street Found by Janitor as Fire Ladder la Being Raised. ONE man stopped and then another, arid in two minutes about 73 earnest eyed men were gazing last night at a ledge over a third-story window of a big department store, and on the aforesaid ledge walled a black and white puppy. One step, and Re would be dashed to pieces below. It was just light enough to see what was doing. "Poor fellow..- Wonder how that dog got up there?" was the universal in quiry, and a fat man suggested that the puppy had probably wandered into the store with his owner in the course of the day, and had found himself on the ledge to get a breath of air. "Then," said the fat man, "the janitor closed the windows for the night and the pup was marooned. See?" SomeboUy raced to the headquarters of the fire department, told the story of the marooned puppy, and around the corner swung a big hook and ladder apparatus. Excitement grew and all hands felt that & thrilling rescue was about to be at tempted. Just then, however, the janitor of the building in question became "wise" to the fact that something out of the ordinary was going on, and he stuck out his head from a third story window, grabbed the frightened puppy by his neck and hauled him to safety, just as the big ladder was being placed In position. The disgust of the crowd was great. "Say." asked the fat man, "was this a real show or an advertising scheme?" Will Speak at Y. 31. C. A. Rev. J. J.
