BOOSTS LODGE HERE

Copy of lx-ttcr Received by Vernon
A. Forbes in Which State Ex
ecutive 1ralMa lleud as a ,
What Is deemed to be a highly im
portant factor in securing an Elks
lodge for Bend, was made known
this morning when Vernon A. Forb
es, of this city received a letter from
Governor James Wlthycombe stat
ing that he has written the grand
exalted ruler of the order furthering
the petition which is to be presented
from Bend. Mr. Forbes believes
that this will be of Immense value
in securing the desired charter for
this city.
After receiving the letter, he
stated that In the neighborhood of
100 Elks would sign the petition
here. Based on schol census figures
just taken in Baker county, where
the population of the county seat Is
estimated at 9000, with those of
school age fixed at 2200, he declar
ed that there would be no doubt
that the population of Bend would
exceed 6000, the minimum tor a ci
ty which is granted an Elks charter.
It is intended to :end in the petition
before the end of the year.
Governor Wlthycombe's letter to
Mr.. Forbes, and that written to the
grand exalted ruler, both dated De
cember 14, are as follows:
Hon. Vernon A. Forbes, '
Bend, Oregon.
My dear Mr. Forbes:
In compliance with your request
I have today dispatched a letter to
tho grand exalted ruler. Brother

thering your petition for the estab
lishment of a lodge at Bend. I am
inclosing herewith a copy of that
letter. I sincerely trust that it may
prove of assistance to you.'

Honored Brother:
It has come to my attention that
mombera of the Brotherhood resid
ing In Bend, Oregon are petitioning
for the establishment of a lodge
there. I am writing this letter on
bohalf of these petitioners, adding
to their -request this expression of
my earnest hope that their desires
tuny bo granted.
I am well acquainted with the
Community of Bend, and with its
oltizonship, and 1 know many of tho
active Brothors residing there. The
town whtlo probably now having a
population of about five thousand,
is crowing "very rapidly and Is ex
traordinarily promising and pros
perous. It Is in the midst of a very
large territory, without any other
Elks lodge. '
, I venture to write this lotter be
cause nf my sincere Interest in the
proposition, fooling that perhaps It
may not bo nmlss from a member of
