FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1924
I The Elks convention presents it-
I self at a myrid of varying angles.
I Every stratum of humanity looked
Lpon it from different Viewpoints.
I Comments were generally cast about
I promiscuously. Opinions differ and
ill of them seem to come sincerely
from the differently shaped minds.
I Business men were heard to remark
it the amount of money that was
taken from the city. A county offi-
dal was heard to remark that the
»hole thing was deplorable and the
public appearance of some of the
participants was outside of the
bounds of propriety. The peace officers
both county and city, handled the
situation admirably.
There were
fewer arrests in the county depart
ment on liquor charges than there had
been for some weeks. Chief L. V.
Jenkins of the Portland police depart
ment complemented Chief White of
Tillamook on the whole affair and
stated his doubts of being able to
handle next year’s convention in
Portland as well as this one was
handled. In fact he made known
his surprise at the manner in which
the police department kept peace.
Elks themselves are still voicing
their impressions left by the .wonder
ful work done at the association
meetings. Work of inestimable value
has been started. Men on local com
mittees spent many hours and sacri-
ficed their own welfare to help make
fhe convention a success.
Surely
fleir efforts were not in vain. The

played without the liquor. The few
that jeopardized the good name of
the order are merely men like a whole
lot of us that think we need some
artificial means of stimulant to make
anything look enjoyable.
Anyone who had seen state conven
tions in other towns would surely not
brand the recent convention In Tilla
mook as an extremely wild one, for
compared with others that are held
for various organizations this one
ranks with the quiet, orderly, busi
ness like convention with little play.
The fact that , tew had to play un
lawfully made it look as though any
one who played was over-stepping the
bounds of national lawfulness. Doubt
less there was many a boistrous act
perpetrated by perfectly sober per
sons, that branded them as villains
because they were not twirling their
thumbs. •
A lot of real work was accomplish
ed by serious minded, sober men, but

the darker side were probably hap

INSURANCE OFFICIAL HERE
H. R. Blauvelt, an officer of the
Oregon Life Insurance company is
at the Tillamook hotel. He drove here
via Seaside and Nehalem, and was the
guest of Governor Pierce and State
Treasurer Jefferson Myers at the
dedication of the new Nehalem
bridge last Sunday.
Mr. Blauvelt is making an official
trip through Tillamook county to re
new old acquaintances and confer
with many policyholders of his com
pany . “I would like to talk to every
policyholder of ours in Tillamook
county if it were possible, and I shall
be glad to see anyone at the Tilla
mook hotel,” he said.
Mr. Blauvelt is also vice president
of the Pacific States fire insurance
company and the Oregon under

Almost every day we read in the

sad fact remains that they do, and
in most cases they would have been
preventable through just ordinary

Last year the Exposition had over

over $90,000 in premium money. It
had an attendance of 125,000 people.
This year it expects to increase its
entries, its premiums and its attend

be there. Better accommodations for
the guests have been arrnaged and
more people will visit this fourteenth
