ELKS GET QUARTERS Portland Delegation to Show Well at Atlantic City. 200 PLAN TO MAKE TRIP Local Lodge to Maintain Elaborate Headquarters and With $1CS, 000 Entertainment Fund Have Utile-Fear of Losing Fight. Their Invitation backed with a guaran teed entertainment fund of $125,000, Port land Elks will go .to the grand lodge convention at Atlantlo City next July PJO strong, determined to land the meet ing of 1911 and with promises to make It the most memorable In the history of the order. Headquarters for the Portland delega tion have been secured In the Islesworth Hotel, one of the most fashionable places on the famous board walk. Two adjoining rooms, 14 by 33 feet and 13 by U feet respectively, have been secured snd "open house" will ba kept by the Portland members from the beginning of the session to the end. All the candidates for grand exalted ruler have taken headquarters In the eame hotel and this will be one of the busiest spots In the convention city. The grand lodge meetings will bo held In the open air on tha steel pier near tbe Islesworth. so that the fact that Port land Is out for the 1913 meeting never will be lost sight of. Joseph II. Diets, chairman of the At lantlo City committee, already has se cured the assurances of nearly 100 local Hlks that they will take the trip, there by strengthening the csuse of Portland In the 1913 campaign. W. IL Apperson, exalted ruler, will be the official rep resentative of the local body at the meetings. .Gus C. Moser, Harry McKay and Ralph Moody, past exalted rulers, and members of the grand lodge, have signified their Intention of going and several score of others are sure of at tending. Portland Elks to "Camp Out." Detailed arrangements will not be made for several months, but by the time reservations are requested It Is ex pected the full quota of 200 will be en rolled. It Is planned to operate a special train out of Portland through to Atlantic City, where tha cars will be "camped" until after the grand lodge adjourns. Thla will preclude the necessity of se curing quarters at the Atlantic City hotels, which will be crowded, and will provide the added pleasure and conve nience of keeping the Portland delega tion Intact so that more effective work In tha Interests of the 1913 campaign can be done. After the grand lodge meeting the train likely will be split so that Portland travelers may visit separate portions of the Atlantic Coast. While the tentative programme pro vides for "camping" In the train, the center of activity, so far as the Port land crowd will be concerned, will be the headquarters in the Islesworth Hotel. A corps of clerks will distribute literature on Portland and Oregon and another staff will dispense verbal In formation on the numerous attractions of the city and state. Elaborate ban ners will proclaim the fact that Port land la a candidate for 1913 honors. Every Precaution to Be Taken. Although the success of the ambition to bring the antlered herd to this city one rmr hence already la assured, the finance committee will continue hard at work until the east dollar of the neces sary I125.0 Is subscribed. When they go to Atlantic City they will be prepared virtually to take the town by storm. They don't count on opposition, but they will leave very little room for any that may unexpectedly develop. rThe canvassing committees will con tinue at work until March 13. when the books will .bo turned In and the final reporta made. The fund. Including the fcS.OfjO given bv the lodge itself, now approximates I73.0U0. This leaves about ITACOO yet to be subscribed. Much of this has been promised in various forms but it will not be counted until It is actually In hand. However, the com mittee feela safe In counting HOo.OuO. The cash In hand and in sight may ag gregate 3110.000. This will leave a bal ance of 31000. The committee Is deter mined to have this mm before starting for Atlantic City and after March 15 will devise means of annexing It to the money already In the custody of W. O. Van Schuyver. the treasurer. mm sMSscoMwe RAILWAY OFFICIALS HERE TO PREPARE FOR IXFLVX. Northern Pacific Representatives Predict Heaviest Colonist Travel In Oregon History.
