The troubles of the Port Orfocd
Orchard Tract Company which or
ganized In Portland about a year
ago to colpnizo Curry county have
flnnlly reached the courts and somo
startling revelations are promised In
. the litigation that is likely to devel
op. It. F. Crittenden, formerly of
Marshfleld and North Bend, has
been a leading figure in the com
pany's operations. Crittenden, It
will bo remembered, came to Coos
Bay as sort of an oil promoter,
claiming that he was at the head
of a syndicate that would develop a
great oil field here. Their colonlza-1
tlon plan In Curry seems to have
fallon through as considerable of
their operations were on a contract
basis, getting possession of largo
tracts on a contract and selling on
a contract. Some of the purchasers,
mainly from Northeastern Oregon,
around LnGrando, and from Wash
ington, who returned from Curry re
cently wero greatly displeased with
tho matter, to say the least.
Concerning the litigation, a Port
land dispatch snys:
'"Developments of Interest are
promised In tho affnlis of tho Port
Orford Orchard Tracts when the In
junction proceeding? and civil action
filed In circuit court by P. F. Crit
tenden president of tho company,
against tho Leo-Bowlder Co., J. C.
Leo, M. T. Loe, S. B. Reoder, direct
ors of tho Port Orford Orchard
Tracts, M. T. Lee, treasurer, and S.
B. Reoder, secretary thoreof, and
Lansing Stout, conios up for trial.
"Proceedings are brought by Mr.
Crittonden to restrain Lnnslng Stout
from disposing of cortalu shares of
stock In tho company, and a civil suit
nsks that Crittonden bo allowod a
fnlr share of tho receipts of tha
company, and that a contract bo
signed binding him to certain galling
conditions bo doclarod void by ardor
of the court.
"In connection is n suit filed
against tho Leo-Bowldor Co., by Phil
MotBclmn, Jr., for $3,873, it being
the amount of tho company's obliga
tions to Crittonden, so ho alleges,
and which tho latter signed over to
him.
"Tho Port Orford Orchard Tracts
owns 4,000 acres of land around
Floros Lake, in Curry county, Oregon."

Local Lodge Meets and De
cides On Date For Big
Initiation.
At a meeting of Marshfleld Lodge
No. 11 CO B. P. 'O. E. last evening
it was officially decided that the
formal dedication of the new lodge
and initiation of new members will
bo held on Tuesday evening August
31. i
There was somo sentiment in favor
of holding the Initiation during, the
meeting of the Oregon-Idaho Devel
opment Congress, but after discus
sion It was decided that It would be
tho part of wisdom to make the two
events separate. One reason was
that it was feared a consolidation
would result in such an influx of vis
itors would swamp both transporta
tion and hotel accommodations. The
Development Congress gives promise
of being a large and important affair
and tho Elks are making prepara
tions for tho entertainment and re
ception of about 200 visitors. Port
land, Astoria, Eugene, Albany and
Rosebiirg( lodges all promise to send
large, delegations and. Eureka, Cali
fornia promises to come up forty or.
titty strong.
Tho transportation committee of
which II. W. Skinner is chairman, Is
nlready at work tp secure a special
schedule from tho steamship com
panies for Elks' week.
Objeclh of tin Order.
The recent Institution of an Elks
Lodge on Coos Bay and the fart that
a iniiiili'T of prominent citizens of
Marshlleld and North Bend have ap
plications In to become members of
thU lends additional Interest to tho
following roport of the views of tho
newly elected Grand Exalted Rulor
of the Order who was chosen at tho
recent national convention in 'Los
Angelas. ' . '
.1. IT.ummls of LoMars, la., tho
now Grcuirt Exalted Ruler of the
Elk?, stands tor a better, If not a
blggOr order; and will liond nil his
entygleij durlng.the tenure of his of
fice flyon,r If ,nqed bo, nt tho exponse
of the quantity. To a reporter ho
said: i . .i .
''Naturally I 'am deeply gratified
b the result, of tho balloting in tho
grand lodge, and though I can
just that platform. For some years
now we have felt that in efforts to
increase membership perhaps some
of this order have overlooked what
is even more important its char-,
acter."
"Don't misunderstand me," he
continued rather hastily. "I love an
Elk as far as I can see or hear one,
and I Intend to do all that lies In my
power to help them all whenever I
have a chance, but I also intend to
see to it that our laws, which are
becoming more thoroughly under-,
stood, are even more broadly known,
and that those who might wish to
come Into this order through mere j
curiosity, or with the hope that some
pecuniary benefit might accrue from
joining, shall be warned off. This
order has a mission to accomplish,
and I propose to make that mission
the first object of my life.
"Those who have entered this or-.
der for any of the motives similar to
those I have mentioned will find
themselves in uncongenial surround- i
ings and will, I believe,' sooner or
later drop out. I mean to see to it
that the lodges of the order do more I
towards Impressing their members J
with the real worth of the order, and ,
that no matter what happens they '
are Elks, and that being Elks' they
are gentlemen and brothers and must
live ns such.
"Wo passed the 300,000 mark last
year. I shall not strive to Increase
that number largely during the com
ing year, for I do not believe that
It will be necessary. The order will
grow by Its own momentum. I shall
In other words, look more to qual
ity thnn to quantity."
