The daily syndicated comic strip Dennis the Menace was originally
created, written and illustrated by Hank Ketcham. It debuted in 16
newspapers and was distributed by Post-Hall Syndicate. It is now
written and drawn by Ketcham’s former assistants, Marcus Hamilton
and Ron Ferdinand, and distributed to at least 1,000 newspapers 
in 48 countries and in 19 languages by King Features Syndicate,
usually running a single panel on weekdays and a full strip on
Sundays.

The Rosebuds, Portland’s first professional ice Hockey team, was the first United
States-based franchise to compete for the Stanley Cup. They began as the New Westminster (B.C.) Royals and moved to Portland in 1914 and were called the 
Portland Uncle Sams and played in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA),
playing their home games at the Ice Hippodrome, located between Northwest 20th
and Northwest Marshall.

The team played their first game (which they lost 6-3 to Vancouver B.C.) on
December 8, 1914.

The Rosebuds suffered through two losing seasons before relocating to Victoria,
B.C., where they became the Aristocrats. The name “Rosebuds” was resurrected
for a 1925 Western Hockey League team.
