"GRANTS PASS, Ore.—The Caveman has stood guard for years over this town, bolstering its claim to be the gateway to the Oregon Caves National Monument. A scowling, club-wielding fiberglass statue 17 feet tall, he stands on one of the town's main drags. But he is getting old, and a threat to his standing in the community has caused a rift among his principal allies, who are older still. The Caveman exists in honor of a men's group formed in 1922, the Oregon Cavemen, who for decades met in private for secret rituals and, in public, appeared in town events dressed in furs and carrying clubs."
