Cnnipnlgn for Additional Membership
Elicits Knthusliuiin of local
.Members of ihn Onlor.
The members of La Grande Camp
No. 7703, Modorn Woodmen of
America, enjoyed a very interesting
program and stag party last evening.
The purpose of thq meeting was to
welcome neighbor A. P. Martin, the
newly appointed Deputy Consul for
the etate- of Oregon. About thirty
mombe,r3 of La Crando Camp gather
ed at the lodge room and listened
to a short address by J. G. Tate, one
of the head auditors of the society,
who InuioduccU Deputy Martin to
the, members of La Grande Camp,
outlining his plans to som- extent
for the building up of the society in
this slate. After the remarks of
Neighbor Man tin, tho discussion was
declared dpen by State Consul U.
E. Dixon, who was presiding, and
different members of La Grande
Camp made short speeches, all of
which reflected a determination to
assist Neighbor Martin in his work.
After the speeches were over the,
members adjourned to the banquet
hall and cyijoyed a lunch as prepared
by the social committee. A resolu
tion was unanimously adopted wel
coming Neighbor Martin to the city
and to the state, and pledging him
the support and cooperation of the,
La Grande Camp.
The new state deputy has been
engaged in wejik for the Moderp
Woodmeji for a number of years, and
for several years last last was en
gaged in special work in western
Nebraska. He made a splendid
ecoid while, so engaged and from the
expression of those who knew the
topographic features of the sand
hills of western Nebraska, he sure,
was BOine hustler to snow resuua
In a country inhabited mostly by
piairio dogs, coyotes, and kincaidors.
Tho Modern Woodmen have re
cently made a raise In rates, which
Deputy Martin explained, puts the
rates to an adequate basis, and a
basis to which all fraternal societies
will have to come within tho next
two years or be legislated out of
business. Tho now rate also do
away with the patriotic assessments,
which were levied during tho con
tinuance of the War, and except for
the, new rate would still be levies,
as there ae forty-four thousand
Woodmen remaialaf ia I'ranci)- and
