a. isdiction, w. o. W., which
ARAM oconvenes at Portland, Ore,
hOM /July %, gives promise of
Y being one of the most in
<Nw%tk V1zV teresting in the history of
~se4zl1p% the order. Not only Is a
full representation of delegates from
the twenty-thr districts expected to
be present, but there will he a. large
attendance of those not there in an Off
Cial capacity. Many will go to advise
with and assist the delegates from
their respective districts, others will
be there for the information to be
gained by attending ahead camp meet
ing, while still others will go for the
pleasures of the trip. 50
The head camp session is the proper
place to intrC duce measures for the
betterment of the affairs of the juris-
diction. to change existing laws that
have proved inadequate and to enact
new measures which, experience has
demonstrated will better serve the pur-
poses intended. Among the important
subjects likely to come up for consid-
Grafton is the proposition to abolish
the cumulative certificate. Opinion
seems to be divided as to the wisdom
of abolishing the plan In toto, but
nearly all are united in the view that
modification at least is necessary.
The suggestion that the designation
'neighbor" as applied to member OF
Sovereign" to conform to the custom
in other jurisdictions will also prob
ably be given attention. The term
"neighbor" is not distinctive when
mentioning a Woodman of the World,
being also used by the Modern Wood
men of America, who, as matter OIL
fact, have a prior right to its use,
having been given to that order by
the founder of all Woodcraft, j. Gull
len Root, now head officer of the SOW
ereign jurisdiction.
I. l. Boak. present head consul of
the Pacific jurisdiction, is certain of
reelection, If he so desires, as out or
the twenty-three districts represented
nineteen will go to the convention In
structed in his favor, three uninstruct-
ed but counted as favorable and one,
the twelfth district uncertain. The
eminently satisfactory manner in
which the distinguished head consul
has conducted the affairs of his ex-
allied Office during the past five years
is appreciated by the membership as
whole and this appreciation will be
manifested by calling him to continue
in his position of trust and service.
The program of entertainment for
the delegates indicates that nothing
will be lacking to make the visit to
Portland a memorable one, including
an automobile ride trolley ride, steam
boat trip and numerous banquets.
