ELKS ARE LOUD IN
LAUDING PORTLAND
Returning Delegates Declare
Visit in This City Is
All Too Brief.
SPECIAL TRAINS GO NORTH
Hundreds of lodgemen Are Yet to
Pas Through on Return From
Los Angeles Local Herd
Still In the South.
Th cxodiw from L6 Ar.geleft of th
n tie red herds engaged in the annual
roundup, which began last Friday and
Saturday, was flrst noticeable In Port
land yesterday1 when over 1000 visitors.
Including Elks and their wives and fami
lies flocked Into Portland en route to
their Eastern homes.
The large Influx of convention people
caused the Elks' home, at Seventh and
Stark streets, to resemble a bee-hive,
for during the day and until the special
trains leaving late at night departed, the
reception committees of Portland Lodge
No. 112 were kept busy entertaining visi
tors and giving Information as to points
of beauty In and about Portland.-
Many of the visiting Elks, who were
not numbered among excursionists travel
ing in the specials had too little time In
Portland to make this side trip and much
regret was expressed.
Booster for Portland 11J.
Edward A. Laing, a prominent Elk of
Plainfleld. N. J., is one of those who
voiced thto regret and announced him
self as a booster to secure the grand
lodge for this city in 1911
"I sincerely hope that you are suc
cessful in securing the grand lodge re
union In 1912," said Mr. Laing at the
Elks' temple last night. "I am very
much dissappolnted at not being able
to see .the Columbia River and its scenic
wonders, and on that account you may
be assured of one booster for Portland
In New Jersey. I attend every grand
lodge reunion and I shall be pleased to
boost for Portland in 1915.
"I believe Portland should be In line
for that year, and If you campaign hard
enough for It you should get it. From
what I have seen of your city you are
amply able to accommodate the grand
lodge and I do not know of a more ideal
city in this Western country."
Two hustling young newspapermen
from Birmingham, Ala., are members of
the excursion party on the Cotton States
rpeclal which arrived here yesterday
morning. They are Burr Blackburn, of
the starf of the Birmingham Age-Herald,
and Clyd W. Ennls. of the Birming
ham Ledger. Both are delighted with
Portland and Oregon, and while they put
in most of their time telling of Birming
ham, they aro not loath to express their
appreciation of Portland and the hospi
tality shown the visiting parties by the
Por-Jard Elks.
I
Milwaukee Ruler Here.
D. tv. Wlndfelder, exalted ruler of
the Milwaukee herd, and a brother of
Otto Wlndfelder, of Portland, headed
the Milwaukee delegation which ar
rived here yesterday morning. While
he was feeling the effects of a bad
cold contracted while touring San
Francisco Sunday, Mr. Wlndfelder was
unstinted in his praise of Portland and
the climate of this vicinity. He In
formed his brother that he would re
turn to Portland In the near future
and remain hers several weeks, for he
Is anxious to investigate this section of
the country.
The special trains arriving yesterday
were as follows: Conkers-Brooklyn,
Boston-Salem (Mass.), Cotton States
(comprising two sections). Pennsylva
nia. New Jersey, and Plttsburg-Gettys-burg.
All these trains remained in
Portland from seven to fifteen hours,

Northern Pacific Railway to Seattle.
From that city some of the specials
will return east over t.ie Canadian Pa
cific, white others will pass through
Montana and Wyoming, stops to be
made at the principal points en route.
Comparatively few of the Portland
excursionists have returned. Some con
template visiting San Diego and South
ern California, while others are visit
ing friends and relatives In the new
San Francisco. The Portland members
can be expected to drift in one by one
during the next ten days.
There are still several eastern ex
cursion trains now en route to this
city. The New Tork. Montana. Chicago,
Ienver. Arizona. Cincinnati and other
specials will pass through Portland

PREACHER'S MINE TIED
PAPERS SERVED OS REV. PA EX
liADER AS HE BOARDS TKAIX.
Jiult Relates to Water Rights
Claimed by Minister and His
Company to Work Diggings.
Rev. Paul Rader. pastor of the Has-salo-Street
Congregational Church, and
formerly president of the Oregon Anti
Saloon League, was served with papers
in the suit brought against him In Grant
County by the Wethere 11-Oregon Mim-s
Company. Just as he was leaving Port
land for Seattle and Tacoma on a vaca
tion trip. The suit is an effort on the
part of the company to secure for itself
the water rights claimed by Rader and
three others, who are made parties to
th suit. They are: F. a Wilson, a local
real estate dealer, Gustav Pineon and
T'tus Davis.
Rader was also served br a repre
sentative of Sheriff Stevens" office with
a cpy of a temporary Injunction granted
by Circuit Judge Davis, of Grant County,
in which the four defendants are re
strained from using the water In 11
miles of ditches while the suit Is pending.
They are also restrained from cut
ting the ditches or damming them.
Tl-.e water enters a ditch StO feet above
the Gold Bug Quarts Claim, on the south
slie of Bahly Mountain, and Is conveyed
to the Griffith mine, five miles away.
From there the ditch runs to the Gold
C-nter group, tlx miles farther on.
The pastor of the local East Side
church, it la understood. Is a part owner
In the Sumpter Placer Mine. This mine's
right to the use of the water has been
contested for some time, and it was
thought the matter had been settled in
favor of the preacher and his company.
Now the fight waxes hot again with an
Injunction suit which prevents the mine
of Rader and his associates from being
operated.

J. B. Groat Lays Instigation or Dl
' Torce Suit to Wife's Sister.
J. B. Groat, a millwright and carpen
ter, who Is now working upon the new
Simnyslde schoolhouse. denies the charges
of Mrs. Minnie A. Groat, his wife, in her
suit for divorce that he failed to pay
her doctor bills, and compelled her to
work for her board when he was able
to pay It himself.
"I refused to keep .some of her rela
tives." said Mr. Groat last night, "and
that is one cause of the present diffi
culty. My wife's sleter, Mrs. Lottie Ray.
burn, secured a divorce three years ago,
with $30 a month alimony from her hus
band, and now my wife thinks she can
get l-W a month from me. My sister-in-law
was remarried to her former hus
band about two months ago.
"Through my attorney I have filed . a
demurrer in the Circuit Court to ray
wife's complaint, and if this fails in
quashing the suit. I intend to file an an
swer to her charges. I do not ask a di
vorce myself, but expect to prevent her
from securing one.
"For six months I have expected this
divorce suit would be brought. But the
first real evidence of it was when, two
weeks ago next Friday. I went home ex
pecting to meet my wife, and found a
note Baying she thought we had better
part. At no time during our married life,
whether my wife was sick or well, has
she been obliged to work for her board.
I have always treated her as a husband
should."

of the estate Is In the neighborhood of
$7000.
' Cannot Build Above Pipeline.
Circuit Judge Gatens has Issued a
permanent injunction restraining D. W.
Metzger, of Gresham, from building a
shed over the Bull Run pipeline. The
city brought the suit to have Metzger
restrained, alleging that he was inter
fering with the operation of the tele
phone line In connection with the water
system. Metzger alleged In defense
that his predecessor had given the city
a right of way to construct the pipe
line, but that he had a right to the
property above ground. Judge Gatens
held that the right of way gives the
city the privilege of using the prop
erty both above ground and below the
surface.

An unusual opportunity for the people of
this city and the Willamette Valley to become
part owners and participating partners in the largest,
best and most profitable apple orchard on Pacific Coast
THE
FAMOUS
?Sv TT T3 T7 TT IX TTJ) TTN (C3
(Reorganized and Iricorpof ated)
The ownership of this magnificent property has been divided into
DIVIDEND-PAYING AND PROFIT-SHARING BONDS
THE LOWNSDALE PROPERTIES consist of
649 acres; 300 are now in full bearing, the trees 18
years old. This orchard is in its prime as a pro
ducing proposition. Of the. remaining 349 acres,
some is partially improved and the balance heavily
wooded. It is proposed to improve the unproductive
land and plant it to fruit as soon as possible. Upon
the wooded tract there is $20,000 in standing timber.
THREE HUNDRED ACRES OF ORCHARD is a
magnificent sight. Every tree is healthy and has
-attained the highest degree of cultivation. In
vigor, productivity and certainty of crop, the entire
orchard is unsurpassed anvwhere. Furthermore, the
LOWNSDALE ORCHARDS have been developed
upon business principles, and, for a great many
years, have been a splendid income-producer. A
bearing orchard yields enormous profits to its owner.
OWNERSHIP HAS BEEN DIVIDED into indi
vidual parts, each one of which is represented by a
Profit-Sharing Bond. Valued conservatively at
nearly $300,000, the total issue of bonds is only $275,
000, covering the entire 649 acres. The division of
the ownership into bonds of $100 and multiples of
$100 enables a large number of investors to become
part owners and thus participate in the great profits
that annually accrue.
EACH BOND IS A DEFINITE OWNERSHIP of
that portion of the property represented by the
amount invested. These bonds may be recorded,
transferred and assigned as collateral. Under this
method of ownership, the property can be worked
economically, impossible in small tracts, each under
different supervision. Furthermore, it affords an
opportunity for one to reap the profits of an orchard,
without the attendant labor and worry.
MEN OF SMALL CAPITAL, therefore, are permit
ted to engage in the fruit-growing business on a large
and scientific scale. Lack of money, ability and
knowledge of the fruit industry does not enter into
consideration. Salaried men, unable to buy and spend
all of their time in maturing a fruit orchard, here
find an exceptional opportunity to invest, knowing
that their small capital will produce greater results
than if invested alone. -
M. O. LOWNSDALE HAS AGREED, for a period
of five years, at least, to train superintendents and
assistants to maintain the policies which have
marked his successful management of the orchards
for the last eighteen years; policies which have made
this property the most highly-developed, splendidly-kept
and enormously profitable fruit ranch on
the Pacific Coast if not, in fact, in the entire
United States.
THE MOST SUCCESSFUL APPLE -GROWER on
the Coast, is Mr. Lownsdale's reputation. He will
retain a substantial interest in the property. His
brands and methods of packing, alone, are a valuable
asset. These will be continued. Mr. Lownsdale s
packing-houses, the most complete in the world, to
gether with his entire equipment, for the care of the
orchard, will be held for the use of the LOWNS
DALE ORCHARD COMPANY.
THIS ORCHARD IS NOW PRODUCING and
should appeal strongly to those who have contem
plated the improvement of a ten-acre tract, requiring
careful and laborious work for upwards of five or
more years before any income whatever is realized.
During all of this time, too, heavy expenses are met.
Investment in this enterprise finds one in complete
possession of a fully developed orchard, producing
fruit and profits in amazing quantities.
AS COLLATERAL SECURITY, the Profit-Sharing
Bonds of the LOWNSDALE ORCHARDS become
annually more valuable, in proportion as the profit
accruing from the orchards increases, and the land
becomes more valuable. These bonds are safe, earn
big dividends and may be used with the same facility
and with the same independence as any individually
owned piece of property. Their greatest advantage
lies in the fact that they profit immediately.
THE AMOUNT INVESTED depends entirely upon
the investor. The purchase of bonds to the value of
$100 reaps the same percentage of profit as an invest
ment of $10,000. The larger the investment, how
ever, the larger the profits. These bonds may be
obtained either upon a full cash payment at the time
of purchase or upon the periodical payment plan, if
more -convenient to the purchaser. It is the first
proposition of its kind ever offered.
A FEW VITAL AND IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS
Three hundred acres of bearing, profit-producing apple orchard, 18 years old,
Conservatively valued at a little less than $300,000; "sold to bondholders for $275,000.
Dividends begin to accumulate immediately upon investment, payable May 15, annually.
Increase in value of property constantly adding to the worth of the bonds you hold.
Bonds offered in multiples of $100, for cash, or upon favorable monthly payments.
- Bonds rapidly increase in value as collateral security for loans.
! Enable small investors to identify themselves with successful ORCHARD IZING.
Uncultivated land to be developed as rapidly as possible. Some ready for planting.
