man of the Membership Committee
and President of the Salem Chapter;
Tom Edwards, Vice President, and the
Board of Directors including Ivan and
Mrs. Dakin, Portland; Edward Chid-
sey, La G rande; W. P. Laws, Coquille,
and Forrest Cooper, Redmond. The
talks given by these men were enthu­
siastically received and we hope to be
fortunate enough to have them with
us again.
The "tumult and the shouting,”
caused by the annual invasion of the
Oiling and Paving Crews has about
subsided in the Bend division. Walt
Greene has returned to La Grande to
rest and hibernate until next May. Leo
Kirkham is to spend his winter vaca­
tion playing ping pong with Tom Ed­
wards. Harry Melton was last seen
groping around in the fog, mist and
rain in Benton county trying to find
Corvallis. Buster Gibson has been un­
able to get his plant stopped and in­
tends to run the year around in the
salubrious climate of Klamath and
Lake counties.
Our boss, W . E. Chandler, has been
visiting his mother in Spokane. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Chandler, their
daughter and granddaughter.
Rumor has it that Ed Pease is head­
ing for Eastern Oregon ostensibly to
hunt the great horned buck, but actu­
ally to obtain a few sagebrush plants
for his yard. Incidentally, we wonder
if Lin Koons ever got sagebrush to grow
in Astoria.
A ll w ork in Division 4 stopped Sep­
tem ber 30 th for an indefinite period
due to an epidemic of Buck Fever.
Those th a t don’t get shot (literally ),
should be back in the saddle and fairly
well rested by Christmas.
Charley C lifton has organized a la­
dies’ bowling team and they challenge
any and all comers. The team is cap­
tained by Em m a N an Peden, Treasurer
of Chapter 3.
H om er B rantner of Santiam Ju n c ­

since its organization has transferred
his membership to Tillamook.

The poets praise the old west days
A nd drug store cowboys croon
"G ive Me a H om e W here the B uffalo

O r "U nder the W estern Moon.”
They w rite of the joy of the free cow ­
boy
W hen the camp-fires glow at night.
O f his wild "Ki Y i” as he races by
A nd his life seems all delight.
In picture and p rin t the cowboys stin t
Is all romance and fun,
