delegates attending" annual conven
tions." Choice of the 19 20 convention city
promises to present a contest of keen
rivalry between Salem and Pendleton.
Both cities will be represented at the
Klamath Falls session with large dele
gations, and both delegations " will in
troduce features in an effort to gain
support for their claims.
Portland lodge at its last business
session voted unanimous support to the
candidacy of Harry G. Allen, who is
now secretaray of the Oregon State
Elks association, and who aspires to
succeed the retiring president. Dr. Ken

other lodges of the state.
Reservations on the "de-luxe" special
to be operated from Portland with re
duced fares, are being made rapidly,
according to William J. McGinn, chair
man of the transportation committee.
In addition to the large number of Elks

Would Have Put Teutons Out
of War With Speed.
SAX FRANCISCO. Aug. 3. (Special.)
Comparative estimates made today
by Chief of Police White, following
a melee described as a riot at Mason
and Taylor streets, in the so-called
fashionable tenderloin, in which a
dozen service men were vanquished
by Policeman James McEachern,
led to the conclusion that with an army
of McEacherns, Uncle Sam could have
made good in the world war with less
than one-tenth of the forces that were
sent "over there."
Two soldiers opened hostilities with
Policeman H. T. Lewis, when the latter
undertook peace negotiations. Two
more soldiers arrived and went into
action. Then came other soldiers and
sailors until Lewis, assailed by a force
of about 15, fell severely beaten.
McEachern heard the summons from
his stricken comrade and "went over
the top." With fists and club he at
tacked on all fronts. After a couple
of howling. mauling minutes, the
marauders made unconditional peace
terms. McEachern arrested on charges
of inciting riot, 12 soldiers, who de
scribed themselves as former service
men or continuing in active duty.
Lewis was taken to the emergency hos
pital to have his wounds treated.

charge is made for the use of any of the

Government May Pay IOss From
Figure Guaranteed; Punishment
- for Extortionists Sought.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. Steps to
wards reducing the high cost of living
are expected this week.
While all government departments
are working toward the end of allevi
ating unrest by restoring a normal
level of prices, interest centers in the
meeting Tuesday of the conference
called by Attorney-General Palmer to
consider the best method of procedure,
especially with respect to profiteering.
The committee appointed by the con
ference has been engaged in an ex
change of memoranda which will be put
before the conference for recommenda
tion to President Wilson.
The presence of Julius Barnes,
director of the United States grain cor
poration, at the meeting Tuesday, will
give expert counsel to the cabinet
members and other officiris on the-
grain situation. A decision to sell wheat
a free market, the government ab
sorbing the difference between the
market price and the guaranteed price,
is believed certain.
There are indications that the at
torney-general is paying especial at
tention to cases of profiteering. He has
at his disposal a great volume of infor
mation collected by the federal trade
commission, showing production costs
in scores of industries. While there is
no law by which profiteering -may be
punished directly, Mr. Palmer has said
that there is a great deal of "good law"
on the statute books and it is believed
he will find a way to punish any cases
where there are evidences of extortion.
The average citizen is the man in
whose behalf the profiteering investi
gation will be pushed, despite the fact
that it was the new demands of the
railroad labor unions which precipi
tated it.
LANSING, Mich., Aug. 3. Attorney-
General Groesbeck's programme for
investigation and correction of the high
cost of living in Michigan includes a
plan for fixing the prices of all neces
sities of life by "a commission created
for the purpose, it was announced.
If found necessary. Governor Albert
Sleeper may be asked to call a special
session of the legislature to enact laws
to back up the proposal, it was said.
i he cost of living, it was learned to
day, will be one of the leading topics
to be discussed at Tuesday's cabinet
meeting.

ELKS' MEET TO BE LIVELY IF
OVER 5O00 VISITORS EXPECTED
AT KLAMATH FALLS.
Foleen Had Been Told an Opera
tion Was His Only
Hope.
'I have more faith in Tanlac thvin
any medicine I have ever seen, and 111
tell you why I say this," said C. J.
Foleen, a well-known mechanic who is
employed by the Southern Pacific Kail
way Co., and who lives at 801 East 20th
street. Portland, while talking to a
Taniac representative the other day.
I suffered from stomach trcu-ble for
three years or more continued' Mr.
Foleen, and when I commenced tak
ing Tanlac I was so weak and run
down that I was not able to do any
work at all. At one time I was in the
hospital for seven weeks, and after the
very best of treatment there I was told
that nothing but an operation would do
me any good, and that I would have
to submit to it if I ever expected to
be well again. I refused to undergo
the operation, and was told then that
they could do nothing more for me, so
I pulled up and -went home.- Well, after
I got home I began to diet myself,
thinking that might help me, but I
soon found that even milk and mush
and a soft-cooked egg would cause
gas to form on my stomach, and I
would have the worst cramping spells
you ever heard of. I just kept on suf
fering and getting weaker all the time
until I was just about all in.
"Then I heard about Tanlac and the
great things it was doing for so many
other people, and I bought a bottle
and commenced taking it. Well, sir, I
figured that Tanlac would give me
some relief, but I had no idea that it I
was going to make such a clean sweep
of my troubles and put me in the fine
condition X am now in. Why, I have
gained twenty-nine pounds and in a
short time I was as free from pain
and distress as any man on earth. My
stomach troubles all disappeared, and
my appetite came back in full force,
and up to this day I can hardly get
enough to eat. Everything I eat agrees
with me, too, and when night comes
on t can go to bed and sleep like a
rock right through until daylight. Now
that was ju-st a year ago when Tanlac
pulled me out of all that trouble, and I
haven't lost a day from my work since,
and my health has been just fine ever
since."
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl
Drug Co. Adv.
August 24, among the 500,000 shop em
ployes of American railroads. Infor
mation that the shopmen were not dis
posed to accept President Wilson's pro
posal to have congress create a spe
cial body to pass on their demands and
to consider them in connection "with
living problems took officials by surprise.
