ALL HONOR TO FLdJN HOYS
, The Observer' wishes to join Walter . Pierce in his
four-minute talk at the local theatres when he pays a
high tribute to the boys from Elgin who hastened to join
the colors when their life-long friend,, Terry Tnttle, was
' murdered by the Clermaii submarine. .
,' It is such sacrifices as brave Terry Tu'ttle made that
lis bringing the war right to our firesides. When after
; several days of suspense lOlgin people came to the sad
1 realization that one of her sons had been lost on the
vTuseania, the fighting blood of Elgin was kindled anew.
. jThe "eye for an eye and tooth for tooth" feeling spread
quickly, which by the way is the feeling w hich will prompt
I the winning of the war, and as a result the young men
who were Terry Tuttle's close friends jumped to the. front
one man to take the place of the soldier who was lost.
; Walter .Pierce never spoke on a subject before in
J his whole career that penetrated the heart of the whole
j community so quickly and so effectively.
. The names of the men from Flgin who hastened to
. offer themselves to fill Terry Tuttle's place constitut'
lllan honor roll that should be found in every Eastern
; Oregon home. "I J ere '-they are:

banquet, but best of. all was the neighborly mingling, the
hearty handshake, the cheerful address of one to the oth.'i.
Probably in many instances months had elapsed since they
had met.
The Elks lodge iii annual gathering makes these hand
shakes of friends and cheerful greetings possible. It is
the vehicle that brings the two counties and every com..
mnnity in either county in close touch, illustrating the
great benefit of tin"1 organization. " ' ,
It is very gratifying to those who have watched the
progress of the Elks order as an institution, in this com
munity and seen it grow to its present magnificent pro
portions to know that Washington's birthday was this
vear celebrated in the way it was, and to further realize IJ!
hat the order is growing rapidly.
IS IT HISTORICAL CAMOUFLAGE?

And now conies Orniond L. Moore of Pluff Point, New ij
York, in a sworn statement saying that the story ol'lji
George Washington and the cherry tree and hatchet isjji
untrue. He asserts that, according to a diary of the father:; ;
of George the tree in question was a plum tree and thejjj
hatchet was not a hatchet at all, but a saw which the old,; J
man prized very highly.
Mr. Moore may be correct in all that he says, but still!'
we think the citizens" f Philf Point should set the dogsjjj
on him and drive him from his happy home. Any man:!
who will attempt to upset as pretty a story as the old!
hatchet story should be driven out into the world with''
a label pasted on his back calling attention to his desire i!
to upset fine eld tradition. - ,
We know of no better' jury to sit on the case of this
man, Moore than such eminent school people as Super
intendent Churchill, E. E. 'Uragg, County Superintendent
Ivanhoe and City Superintendent Hampton, all of whom
have taught the story of George and hatchet for many
vears and with that story have crystallized in the young
the necessity for truth and veracity as cornerstones of
character. Ve believe that with such a jury Mr. Moore
would be handled as he richly deserves.

the Folev building, noting the 4.10 stars with 92 from this
r:ii rum division to mil erstaiu the ravages and waste i ,
of this war. And when the eye catches sight of the gold,
star placed there in honor of Bert Andrews, who will not

firmly impressed. That service flag is a benediction and;

Walter Glcason, one of the high officers of the Port

at snrcadinir truth about the east-of-the-inountains do-
