Portland is a leading candidate for
the chairmanship of the board in op

One of the big events of the con

held this evening in the Armory,
where companies from San Francisco,
Fresno, Boise, Seattle, Eugene and
other cities will take part. The drills
are open to the public.
lrlttw for Visitors.
From eight to ten companies of the
uniform rank will participate. Local
companies will drill and their drills
are said to be exceptionally fine; but
the cash prizes, of which there are
several, will go, ns a matter of cour
tesy, to I he visitors. The -drill has been
arranged for under the direction of
Colonel William Reldt of Portland,
who Is an entluiflast and an expert
in such matters.

Other reports to follow during the
day are of the head banker, P. E. Snod
grass; head auditor, F. "P. Bertschy;
head physician, T. A. Hughes, board
of five head managers, of which Con
gressman Hawley is chairman.
Great Interest attaches to the re
port which will be made by the legis
lative committee, of which A. E. Sun
derland, Fresno, Cal., is chairman.
This committee during a week in
Portland considered 160 constitution
al amendments. One of the most fun-
damontal of these amendments is a
provision for doing awuv with the
accumulation certificate which per
mits the payment of only 50 per cent
of the policy If death occurs within
the first year, 75 per cent of the policy
If death occurs within the second
year.
The plan Is to make the policy pay
able at its face at any time after It Is
granted. The Woodmen of the World
have found that theirs Is the only
fraternal organization which has held
to the old fashioned accumulation
certificate.
Honk's ItecniuniPiHlnt Ions.
In the report of I. I. Boak. head
consul, which was made yesterday
afternoon, the following recommenda
tions were made:
That paid firemen In smaller com
munities bo admitted to membership
In the order receiving certificates of
not more than $500 each, Investigation
having shown that mortality among
firemen Is not greater than among
any other class.
That all future convention be held
lit Denver. The Woodmen of the
World being a financial institution
has Its records In vaults at the head
offices In Denver and meeting in
other places causes constant embar
rassment since It Is not possible to
produce these records whenever de
manded. That the Woodmen of the World
purchase a farm where old members
and widows may be cared for at small
cost.
Mr. Boak's report snowed that the
order was In sound and healthy con
dition. Twenty years ago, he said,
the order started with no resources.
Today the resources are $3,134,990,
with a per capita fund of $31.67.
