Elks lode No. 336. and an, active worker at all times for civic and industrial betterment, for the growth and prosperity of this city "the greatest place on earth where a man can live and 'work and prosper," as he puts It. "I was born in the middle West, the Eat as It is called oH here." he a!d, "but give me the Wet evry time, rnd tho Willamette Valley all the time. The Has! is nUe place, but the oppoitunlty for the young man of small mrans is lackinr. Here In the West the young fel low with a Kttle capital and lots of ambition and capacity for wotK is welcomed, he has a chance to climb the lad.lsr which is somewhat lacking in more settled centers of pop . ulation."
