The Loyal Order of Moose, founded as it is upon the
true manhood theory, is surely an organization that ap
peals to the person who is interested in the uplift of hu
manity and the betterment of conditions along all lines.
This order is one whose great endeavor is the amalgama
tion of the better element of each community into one
Big Brotherhood whose objects and aims are the advance
ment of social, educational and moral development, and in
view of this fact the Order solicits all men of the Cauca
sian race of good moral character to join its ranks and as
sist in the great work that has now advanced from the
stage of theory to realization. The world admires a man
who is willing to sacrifice for others, but when the sacri
fice is a pleasure and brings benefits directly to him it
then becomes a business proposition. The Order has now
passed the million mark in numerical strength and is mak
ing wonderful strides in the fraternal world. We are pre
paring for the future of our membership by building Vo
cational Schools, Homes for the Widows and Orphans and
Homes for the Aged. Each member contributes $1.00 per
year for the maintenance of these institutions Think
what one million dollars will do to provide for the help
less. It will sweep away pain from countless sickbeds and
bring hope to the aged and homeless. We accept all men
of the Caucasian race between the ages of 21 and 55 years.
Men over the age of 55 years may join as non-beneficial
members. There are Moose Lodges in nearly every Alas
kan city and Valdez will soon be in line with the others.

Organizer.

Portland, Ore.—The cares of office,
I nu exacting one, too, lie lightly on the
shoulders of probably the only wo
man private secretary to a governor
of any slate in America.
Miss Fern Hobbs lias won fame and
honor as the "right hand woman" of
Governor Oswald West, Oregon's un
usual Democratic executive.
Witness her trip to the rough min
ing regions of the state, when she
stood to the utmost height of her five
feet Hire# Indies and read the gover
nor's proclamation that ordered closed
tile saloons run by the accused Copper
field officials—and incidentally divest
ed the same eity officials of their au
thority.
"I truly did feel rather timid when
I read in a morning paper that 1 was
to be sent to Copperfleld, but it's part
of my job, so I trotted right along."
Outside of that Miss Hobbs refused
to say any more about tier trip—that

had heard that the men were a law
less element, but found many respect
able people. When I arrived they were
quiet, kind anil considerate.
"There was absolutely no noise to
speak of while I read the governor's
message. These men, who had vowed

heed my message, stood peacefully by

the track ami listened to what I had
to read. Some of them even shook
hands with me, and a number of wo
men carrying small children came to
me with teurs in their eyes and thank
ed me for coming to their town witli
la if and order back of me. Yes, I will
admit that I did dread it at first What
woman wouldn’t? Hut when I got
there I just got up and told them
what I had come for—and it wasn’t
bad at all.”
All the pleasing prominence that her
recent appointment tins given her has
not “turned her head,” as our grand
mothers would say. She is just the
same sweet, clever little girl who left
Hillsboro, Ore., several years ago to
accept a iiosition as stenographer in
the office of an attorney in Portland.
Her father Is J. A. Hobbs, who lives on
a farm near Hillsboro, and her mother
is—just her mother.
She always studied, and she put her
heart and soul into her work. When
she went to Salem as a stenographer in
tile office of the governor she enrolled
as a student in the Willamette College
of Law and was graduated in the class
of 11)13. Several months ago, upon the
resignation of ltalph Wutsou, who wan

secretary to the governor to that of

was appointed to succeed him. Sin; is
tlie only woman in tin* world who

At Copperfiold Miss Hobbs stood out

i»d by an interested crowd of citizens,
some in rags and most of them wear
ing great top hoots and bandana hand
kerchiefs tied about their necks. Greet
ed by a silence that at times seemed
almost ominous, the little woman, who
would scarcely tip the scales at 110
pounds, fearlessly warned the city otli

at once or action would be taken by
the Oregon state militia. It is said that
a number of threats were* made among
a few. hut as a general tiling tin* gov

the utmost respect. However. Miss

she was not disappointed.
