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 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 those spectators who were looking for the darker side were probably hap­ pier at having found it ** THE man WHO HAS TILED ^ llamook --------- WORKS clay NO NAMES MENTIONED IN THIS ONE ation in connection with its educa­ tional work, is effective and thought­ provoking slogans.

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 writers.

Not only one child but three, four and five are burned at a time in a single house. It seems almost impossible that such accidents can occur, but the sad fact remains that they do, and in most cases they would have been preventable through just ordinary carefulness.

This year it expects to increase its entries, its premiums and its attend­ ance. A bigger and better plant will be ready for the opening day. More and better livestock of every kind will be there. Better accommodations for the guests have been arrnaged and more people will visit this fourteenth annual event. FEATURES 3rd.
