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.

vast areas of unsettled land in the
Northwest will be taken up and devel

and Hart for their stand on the bridge

offered his services to the County Court
yesterday, free, and with Attorneys John
F. Logan and C. W. Fulton will rep

Judge Cleeton even received offers of
cash yesterday, being assured that the
County Court would not be compelled to
pay the 31000 fine If It Is Imposed by the
United States Court.
Federal Judge Bean could give no Idea
yesterday when he would be able to take
up the county cane. It probably will not
be before April.
The information against the County
Court sets out that 65 per cent of Port
land's population lives on the East Side
of the river, and only 35 per cent on
the West Side, and that it la necessary
for large numbers to cross the bridges' to

BAD FAITH IS ALLEGED
Attorney Seeks to Have Default
-Judgment Set Aside.
To have the default judgment in
favor of the Frankfort Insurance Com
pany. In the suit brought against it by
the Wind River Lumber Company, set
aside because of bad faith on the part
of an attorney. George S. Shepherd pe
titioned Federal Judge Bean yesterday
morning, and the matter was taken
under advisement. The suit was one to
collect from the Insurance company
damages In a personal injury case,
which the lumber company alleged the
Insurance firm had not paid according
to an agreement. V
Shepherd is attorney for the lumber
company, and Ralph W. Wilbur Is at
torney for the Insurance company. Mr.
Shepherd has filed the affidavit of V. A.
Crum. to the effect that he saw Wil
bur, August 29, 1910, and asked him for
time in which to file his reply to Wil
bur's answer. He says Wilbur assured
him it would be granted. Then, after
the time for filing the reply had ex
pired, he saw Wilbur again, and was
assured, he says, no advantage would
be taken of this. But Mr. Shepherd
says Wilbur took a default Judgment In
favor of his client In spite of this.
Shepherd demands that the case be
tried.
