.ELKS PAY TRIBUTE
TO OLDEST MEMBER
CHARLES CLUSKER PASSES
CENTURY MARK
Helped Organize San Bernardino
Lodge at Age of 93-Absent
from Ceremonies in
Honor

SAN BERNARDINO, March 27.-The
Elks of San Rernardino today did hon
er to Charles c. Clusker, tile "Oldest
Elk on Earth" whose hundredth birth
day was today. Mr.. Clusker is a char
ter member of San Bernardino lodge
No. $3.50, being one of the men who as
sisted in organizing the order in this
city in 1903. At the time the local
lodge was instituted he was SO years
old, and from that time has been the
oldest Elk
Uncle Charlie" as he is known by
the Elks of San Bernardino, is now re-
siding at San Diego, he having recent
ly moved to that city.
Mr.. Clusker first sattled in San Ber-
snardino in 1852. AT the outbreak of the
Civil War he left the mining claims on
which he was prospecting and went
east to join the Union army. At the
close of the war he again returned
here, making this his home until NOV
ing to San Diego about a year ago.
He was born on March p, 1910, of
Scotch and Irish parentage. His par
ents were also long-lived, his father
living to the age of SO and his mother
S4. When the Mexican war broke out
he left Cincinnati, where he was en-
gagged in the jewelry business, as a
member of Company A, First regi-
ment, Ohio infantry. He participated
in the battles of Vera Cruz. Chapulte-
pee, Cerro Gordo, Buena Vista and the
siege of the City of Mexico. At the close
of the war he came TO California over
land with four companies. settling first
in Los Angeles.
1t was planned that Mr.. Clusker
should observe his hundredth anniver-
sary in celebration with his brother
lodge members in San Bernardino, but
the arrangements miscarried.
When the city of San Bernardino oh
serves its anniversary next May, at the
San Bernardino Valley centennial cele
bration, Mr. Clusker will join with the
pioneers in the event.

ton of the board of trade which has
resulted in the appointment of this
committee by President off. The most

in the expression thus made of the
strong undercurrent of desire for the
road.
"eThere is much that such a commit
tee can do that will tend toward the
speedy completion of the road, and !
shall be glad to meet with the commit
tee and go over the matter as soon as
Mr.. cary finds ii convenient to get his
committee together.
Just as soon as 1000 more shares
of the road have been sold we viii be-
gin work and this should not take long.
In our offices we are shaping things
to this end. You can say that | am
very much gratified indeed at the
action of the board of trade"

PLEASURE BOATS SEEK
SHELTER FROM STORM
Service Between Long Beach and San
Pedro Interrupted by Tur-
buIent Ocean

LONG BEACH. March 27.-The ocean
was so turbulent today that all the
pleasure boats scurried for the harbor
at an early hour, and no attempt was
made to carry on the usual Long
Beach san Pedro service. The sea was
extremely choppy and the efforts OF
the crews to reach launches in sklfts
came near resulting in more than one
bad spill.
The swells were heavy and the
breakers rolled high. The action of the
swells broke in twain the lifeline run
ming out into the ocean in front of the
bath house. Several rowboats broke
from their mornings near the outer
wharf and floated ashore.

II you are determined to write.
don't hang around home. Go off to
some place where nobody else has
ever been or wants to go, then write
about that place. Romance about 1t.
lie about 1t, fabricate improbabilities
about 1t. No one will know better
and you will be considered great.
Don't write about anything that ID
well known. You will be laughed at
and. worse, not read. People will know
at once how great you are not.
Or. II you cannot afford to go away
at least you can buy an encyclopaedia
