If there are any dobuts that B. P. O. E. does not stand for Best People on Earth, they would have been Quickly dispelled had their possessors attended the stag party given by the an tiered herd last night in their hall at the comer of Main and Cottonwood streets. It was an event which has long been awaited by local Elks and the realization fulfilled to a complete ness all anticipations. The lodge room was packed to the doors and from one end to the other and from the first minute to the last, merri ment held absolute sway and melan choly was banished to the shades of oblivion. While the real festivities did not be gin until about 11 o'clock on account of the appearance of "A Stubborn Cinderella" at the Oregon theatre, till a large number of the local herd assembled prior to that time and were entertained by a troupe of musicians from the Grand theatre. Shortly be fore 11, Frank Hennessy, one of Port land's most popular Elks, assumed a Judicial dignity and opened a mock court. Frank Frailer and C. E. Roose velt, attired in all the regalia of Irish coppers, proceeded to round up vari- our offenders and, before the op erations were ended, most of the Elks present had been forced to deposit a few shining kopecs into the treasury. The fines ranged all the way from fifty cents to five dollars. George Darveau and A. Buckley being assess ed the heaviest, the one because he permitted a "prizefight" to be con ducted in his building and the other for failing to ever dispatch a train on time. Much sport was derived from this proceeding and the revenue secured was sufficient to defray all expenses of the smoker. Following the mock court, an ex cellent program was put on by talent of various kind. Through the cour tesy of Manager Smith of the Grand theatre, a troup of splendid musici ans were present and rendered several selections during the evening which were greatly appreciated. The "Stubborn Cinderella" company also sent over a few of their troupe who added greatly to the features of th evening. The local quarter, compos ed of George Baer, Elmer Storie, Glenn Scott and Brook Dickson, fur nished one of the best numbers on the program, their medley and their parodies In which the B. P. O. E. was Delicacies That Aid the Hostess The well posted housewife knows that this is the place for dainties and delicacies 4.

Jack Keeie, the prince of all entertainers, was as usunl one of the principal contributors to the program. Hen nessy, himself, besides proving him self to be the right man to preside over a stag affair, also demonstrated that as a songster he is something of an entertainer and his takeoffs on certain prominent members of the order brought forth great laughter. Among others who added consider ably to the general enjoyment were Charles Walsh and Jim Estes, the for mer with his singing and dancing and the latter with his "buck and wing." Walsh also figured in a lively two round boxing bout with .Charley Bond which bout Referee Hennessy declared a draw. Among all of the members, however, none aroused more enthusiasm than the Strand- Nelson wrestling match. Both grap- piers displayed considerable clever ness in the game and when time was called the honors were about evenly divided. Altogether, the affair was one hugh success and will long be remembered as a tribute to the local Elks' abil ities as entertainers. JUDGE BEAU RENDERS HIS FIRST OPINION Judge H. J.

On the ground floor there are now two rooms, both of which are occupied, the north room by the Walsh grocery store and the south one by the Cosy theater. Both rooms are well adapted to the purposes they serve, the fronts being particularly attractive. In the Walsh store is a back balcony which has been fixed up by the proprietor as a rest room for farmers and their families. It Is supplied with chairs, ! sofas, tables, a toilet and many other conveniences which will make It ex tremely popular with the country folk. The new story which has been add ed, Is divided Into thirteen 'office rooms, each of which Is well lighted, well heated, well ventilated and sup piled with all modem conveniences. There Is hot and cold water through out the building and each room Is con nected with both the" electric lines and gas mains. One of the most no ticeable modern features Is the type of skylight Installed, prism glass be Ing'used which gives a soft light and one that Is not affected by the sun's rays. At present there are seven out of the IS rooms engaged, Dr. Temple himself using two for his offices, E. T. Wade, the real estate man, havng two more and Mr. and Mrs. Will Mc Cormmack having three back rooms for light housekeeping.
