first and later funds sufficient for
the full $500 reward for each case
will be available.
According to the state game war
den the chief importance of this
move lies not in the fact that large
reward is to be offered but in that
several thousand prominent citizens
throughout the state are directly
contributing to a fund for the protec-
ton of elk and will therefore have a
personal interest in the several small
bands yet remaining in different
parts Of Oregon Mr.. Finley says
this cooperation will result in the
arousing of a public sentiment which
will make possible full and complete
protection of this, the noblest of all
game animals. He also believes the
good effects will not be confined to
protection in general.
This is the second important move
made by the La Grande lodge along
the same line and both are directly
due to the importation of the famous
Oregon Herd" of elk from Jackson
Hole, Wyoming to WallOwa county,
oregon. The first was the sending
! out of personal letters to each of the
lodges 500 members in Union and
Wallowa counties. calling upon them
10 cooperate to the fullest extent with
with the state game warden and his
deputies in their efforts to prevent
the annihilation of oregon's game.
1t is believed by those most inter-
ested in the matter that the bringing
of this herd of elk to Oregon by the
joint efforts of the state game de-
partment and the Elks lodges has re-
suited in the awakening of greater
sentiment in favor of game protec-
ton throughout Oregon than has
heretofore existed

Governors Trowel Not Stolen.

Governor Oswalt West is still in
possession of his silver trowel with
which he spread the mortar at the
cornerstone yesterday, reports to the
contrary Notwithstanding. according
to Sheriff T. ID. Taylor who declares
that the chief executive informed
him late last night that the trowel
was safe in his grip Reports were
circulated on the streets this morn
ing that the trowel had oeen stolen
as a souvenir yesterday and they
grew so strong that the name of a
well known Pendleton lady was link
ed with the theft. Sheriff Taylor
was credited with having seen the
lady in question pick up the trowel
but he denies having witnessed any
such transaction. The sheriff states
that he heard the rumors last night
and made 1t point to inquire of the
governor who dispelled the rumors
by stating that he himself had made
away with the gift of the Commercial
club.

B. P. D. {. TO AID
IN PROTECTING ELK
LA GRANDE LODGE STARTS
MOVEMENT IN OREGON
VIII Urge other Organizations to Join
in Raising Fund for Rewarding
Capture and Conviction of Slayers
of Adhered Animals.

What is considered by State Game
Warden Finley to be the most i'm
portant move ever made for the pro-
lection of game in oregon will be
made by the La Grande lodge of Elks
tomorrow evening, according to ad-
vices received here today. 1t will be
the adoption of a resolution calling
upon the other Eiks' lodges of the
state to contribute toward a fund to
be used in assisting the state game
department. in securing convictions
against those who kill elk in this
state, contrary to law.
There are IA lodges in the state
and included in the resolution will be
a motion that the La Grande lodge
appropriate its 5000 or 500 neces-
sary to raise a fund of $4,000 or So
900.
1t was the original intention of the
La Grande Elks to have this fund used
by offering rewards of $500 each for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of anyone killing an elk
in this state. At the suggestion of
State Game Warden Finley, however,
the fund, if raised, will probably be
made permanent and only the inter
est used in the rewards. Though this
will not give a very large sum at first
Mr.. Finley has offered to supplement
it from the state game fund so that
a reward of $3.50 could be offered at

The train was running along at
80 miles an hour when the front truck
of the tender left the track, this being
the beginning of the trouble. Within
the twinkling of an eye almost the
baggage car and the coach for negroes
had left the rails. The connection
between the tender and the baggage
car was broken. The baggage car and
the negro coach were, turned over and
fell down a 10 foot embankment.
