islation in the interest of the
Oregon Livestock Association.
He says that the movement to
put the food and dairy commis

striving to hold the present law,
which is more effective and
more economical than the pro

LOCAL CAMP0AININ0 MINY MEMBERS
Membemhip Contest Siill Swinging,
With Many Additions
Feb. 1st marked another epoch
in the Hillsboro Woodmen of the
World affairs, when at their reg
ular meeting in Moose Hall, a
large clasi initiation was ton
dutted by the local officers of
Hillsboro Camp, assisted by O.
W. T. Muellhaupt, a district
manager of Portland. In addi
tion a number of applications
for membership of Killsboro
business men were bal lotted up
on, and the regular business
transacted. Much merriment
was created when "The Fetch
urns, under the captainshiD of
J. M. Kay. stole a march on The
Getums.' whose leader is Rov
L. Heater, and who had secured
the applications of more friends.
This proved a double surorise.
trom the tact that at a former
meeting "The Getums" were
. m . . -
well in the lead. A big farewell
banquet will be given to
all local Woodmen when the con
test ehses. The initiation fee.
which includes the doctor's ex
amination, is $3.00.
lhe Woodmen of the World is
a true Western Society for West
ern people. In these nine North
western states its great Reserve
Fund, which is all invested here
in the best schoii and municipal
bonds, amounts to $8,000,000.
Of this amount $1,620,857 is at
work in Oreeon. building ud all
sections of the state. Since this
society began business, it has
paid out to widows, orphans and
dependent ones over $23,000,000
in deaih benefits alone, not tak
ing into account the vast social
and fraternal good extended its
members.
The membership of the North
west is over 115,000. with an
income last year of $2,670,730,
and added to their ever growing
reserve fund $806,670. Thus it
will be seen what a sound, well
managed society is accomplish
ing right in our own midst.
After the initiation, the doors
were opened to the general pub
lic, and the Women of Wood
craft and iheir friends joined in
a much enjoyed program, social
dance and refreshments. The
gathering yoted the evening one
to be long remembered.
The program follows:
