ELKS' TRACKS
L. H. Zegler, who belongs to Rose
burg lodge but lives at Lexington,
v.'as here in the flesh (luring the en-
lire proceedings. Zegler got into the
habit of browsing around with the
Heppner herd quite frequently a year
or more ago and perhaps by way of
working out his pasturage bill, he
formed some sort of combination
Willi Lew Holmes, also of Lexington
at that time and the pair rounded up
about, all the available candidate-; to
be found in the Lexington bailiwi'k.
That's one reason why the Hoppner
boys all love him so and the other
whys are simply that they love him
because he's himseir. While not
rustling new members for Hoppner
lodge, Zeg helps run the Burgoyne
tstore.
H. A. Amy was another of The
Dalles bunch who took in the Hopp
ner show anil he didn't fool away a
minute trying to sell harvesting ma
chinery. He was too busy having a
good time.
Ed Russell, one of Gilliam county's
russelling sheep men came In Friday
evening and stayed through all the
trouble. Ed defines that word
"trouble" when applied to Elks as
meaning exactly the opposite from
the dictionary definilion. "It means
Hiniling all the time, laughing a good
deal of the time, dancing as long as
the music lasts and eating whenever
occasion offers," says Kd.
L. J. Slocum, former Lexington
boy, now of The Dalles, where he
helps to run the 0. W. R. & N. rail
road, rt'as here helping represent The
Dalles lodge which, by the way,
claims the distinction of being
"mother" to Hoppner lodge. While
It has often been said that a fault, ot
the general order of things In this
universe is that we are not allowed
. the privilege of choosing our own
parents, it. may be said that had
Heppnor lodge,, while yet proto
plasm, been allowed that privilege I
could have done no better than Miss
Fate drew from the wheel for us.
The Dalles,, by tho way, has had a lot
to do with "mothering" most of east
ern Oregon and it may be said her
children do her credit.
George Ferguson, another Bcion of
rendleton lodge came early and
remained till everything was oyer,
but the resting up part and that,
George said, could be done as wei:
at home as in Heppner. Only for that
he might be here yet. Mr. Ferguson,
at home, is one of the managers o
the Peoples Warehouse store in the
Round-up city and if he had been
talking business while here, which he
wasn't, he'd have told the world
something about his town and store.
J. H. Kinney of La Grande, who
also helps run Oregon's biggest rail
road, was also here giving the glad
hand to numerous old friends.
Jerry Foley, another La Grande
boy was also here for the fun. One
of Jerry's claims for distinction is
that he is a brother of Pat, the hotel
magnate, but aside from that, you
can take it straight that he is some
Irishman himself.
J. A. Wiidanen, who now lives in
Hoppner but belongs to The Dalles
lodge, was on hand greeting his old
friends from Wasco and Sherman and
making many new ones in his pres
ent home towns. Mr. Wiidanen is a
wheat man in a big way even if the
price is in a rather small way this
year. , ,
Jimmy Wilson, who is one of Hepp
ner's favorite sons and a member or
this lodge, Is now a resident of Pen
dleton and he never slept nor frown
ed for three days and nights. Jimmy
would be an, Irishman if he wasn't
such a strong American, but like all
the other Erin lads, he swears he is
both. The last heard of Jimmy he
was singing that good old song, "I'll
Nlvor Deny the Land from Whence
Me Father and I Came."
Judge R. R. Butler of The Dalles,
never misses a chance to come to
Heppner or to say nice things about
Heppner and Heppner people. Wit
ness his remarks at the banquet Sat
urday evening. The judge possesses
the rare quality of combining golden
thought with silver speech and in
these arid days an after dinner
speech from his lips thrills his hear
ers something like the sparkling nec
tar of bygone days.
Speaking of dinner orators, how
ever, Butler was not "the only pebble
on the beach Saturday night, when
Frank McMenamin, in his usual hap
py manner acted as toastmaster.
There was Galloway, another silvery
throated one of The Dalles, McKin
ney of Portland, who made every
body listen, Shorty Mite's from Med
ford and of Pendleton, who used to
star In Medford's best ball team but.
