.ELKS To HAVE
THEIR OWN HOME
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
AT LAST NIGHTS MEETING
VIII Make An Investigation and Re-
port Their Findings at Future
Meeting-Some Main Street Prop
erty Owner May BE Induced to
Provide Quarters for the Lodge.

That permanent Elks home will
be established in Pendleton was the
movement made last night at the reg
ular session of the lodge. A commit
tee was appointed to make an inves-
tigation in regard to the securing of
location and consisted of the fol-
lowing members Frank Frazier, A.
l., Knight, j. X. Dickson, DR., f. w.
Vincent and e. j. Murphy.
These men will consult with other
members and decide what can be
done in regard to the proposition and
make a report at future meeting. 1t
is the present intention Of the mem
bers to induce some property owner
to build another story on one of the
one-story buildings of the city and to
form this into an Elks hall and club
room. In nearly all of the other
chapters of the state, the lodge owns
its own hall and the club rooms and
an effort is to be made to have the
same conditions here.
Three new members were initiated
into the lodge last night. These were

BANKS OF NORTHWEST
IN SPLENDID CONDITION

Claude Catch, national bank exam
iner of the banks Of the northwest,
passed through here today upon a
professional visit Mr. Catch says that
the banks all over the northwest are
in an excellent condition and as good
as he ever saw them. Business in
general, however, he says, is very dull,
the dullness extending to every class
of business.
"The recent financial furry" said
Mr.. Catch, "has not been without it's
good effects. Banks are more care
ful than they were and the result is
a general clearing up. Better re-
serves are kept on hand, better Sc
curities are demanded, the notes are
kept fresher and banking in general
is done in a more careful and conser-
vative way.
