DISCOVERS WHALE FOSSIL

A rare fossil, that of a mioscene
whale. has been found by DR.. Earl L.
Packard, professor of Geology at the
University of Oregon.
The relic of prehistoric times, which
was found in the cliffs along the beach
at Newport, is, DR.. Packard believes,
the finest specimen Of fossil whale
which has been found in North Amer
lea. Such petrifled skeletons are very
rare and the extreme age of the recent
find makes it Of particular interest to
scientific men
Only the skull Of the creature has
been exhumed from its rocky bed and
DR.. Packard is now preparing 1t for
addition to the Condor Geological
museum of the University. The bones
are rather small, indicating that the
creature was young, or, which Is more
probable, that the leviathans Of the
mioscene age were markedly smaller
than those Of the present day.

BOOSTER
MEETING HELD TUESDAY

About twenty-five of the local bust.
ness men met at the Court House
Tuesday evening in response to
call issued by G. b. McCluskey, with
view to forming a commercial club.
Messrs. Allen, Crowley and Hawn,
representing the State Chamber Of
Commerce were present, and address
ed the meeting.
DR.. Hawn is a most eloquent speak
er, and kept his audience spellbound
for more than hour, MIR. Hawn is a
Southerner and when it came to tell
ing "Nigger" stories he was certainly
there with the goods. Mr.. Allen fol-
lowed him with a short talk in which
he outlined the workings of the State
Chamber, and the urgent need of a
local Chamber OF Commerce or Com
mercial Club
The State Chamber of Commerce
has set out to raise the sum of $780,
900 to be used in advertising the state
and Toledo's quota has been placed
at $400.
Immediately after the speaking G.
p. .McCluskey was elected temporary
chairman, and j. E. Cooter, temporary
secretary for the purpose of going
ahead with the forming Of local or.
ganization. A committee Of five was
appointed to draw up a constitution
and bylaws. This committee consists
of: ]. b. Booth, G. w. Trommlitz, Ira
Wade, j. w. Dunn and Conrad Christ
Jansen.
The meeting adjourned to meet
again next Tuesday evening when the
constitution and bylaws will be adopt
ed and the organization completed.
Mr.. Allen recommended that the year
ly dues be placed high enough that
the members would feel that they had
an investment to look after, rather
than have the dues so low that the
same be considered in the way Of a
donation.
If we are going to have a CONNER
cial Club everyone should turn out
with the eXpection of putting their
shoulder to the wheel and seeing it
thru to a finish. Ii you think we cont
want or need q Commercial Club don't
go to the meeting next Tuesday even
ing.
There is no doubt but that good
live club could do u lot Of good in the
community and would perhaps be in
strumental in securing new industries
for this city. The membership will be
open to women as we'll as men, and a
large, strong club should result.
Secretary Cooter is trying to ar
range to have DR.. Hawn with us again
for the meeting Tuesday evening and
II he succ eds, there is nc doubt but
what the attendance at the meeting
will be large.

the mcst beautiful in the county, be-

Within three miles of Elk City three
logging camps are established. This
makes Elk City one of the most lively
little burgs in the county. Another
distinction it has worthy Of note, M

lives here. Some of his wise sayings
have already been published in the

his sanctum and disperses wisdom
He is a distant relative of Samuel L.
Simpson who wrote the Beautiful
Willamette, one Of the most charm
ing and beautiful poems ever writer
Mr.. Simpson is great fisherman and
one who knows as much about the
angling art as Sir Isaac Walton. He
probably has caught more fish in the
rivers that run by Elk City than any
other man in Oregon. He is one of
the early pioneers Of this place hav-
ing located here more than half a
century ago. He says "A rolling stone
never gathers any moss"
