Report's from the Grand Lodge showed a wonderful gain In member ship throughout the country. Ln Grande Lodge was one of the stib crdjnate lodges showing the larg"st gain in membership, considering the population of its jurisdiction.

"Tho fact that Salem iB on the railroad and Is near to Portland makes it more convenient for all of the Elks throughout Oregon to ut tend the State Convention. Commit tees will soou bo unpointed and plans begun for a record delegation from hero to Sr.lem. Our membership now exceeds pine hundred, and we have sufficient talent to put up a wonder ful ontortalnmont as La Grande's part of the big show next year. No effort will be spared to maintain tho position of La Grande Lodge us one of the largost and best In Oregon.
