Mdrshfelders Bring
Cocktails for Gang;
A Snap In Euery One

Early this morning the special
train OF five Pullman sleepers rolled
In from Coos Bay bearing nearly 15O
members of Marshfield lodge No.
l160, b. p. O. E., all cooked and
primed for the three big days of the
convention. The delegation from the
coast spent the night training the
crabs in the baggage car which are
to be served in special Coos Bay
cocktails to the antlered brothers
from over the state. Having had no
sleep they figure they can go three
nights more without being sooth I'd
by Morpheus and are ready for any
eventuality. If things do not eventu-
ate fast enough the Coos Bay stunt
committee has few little tricks of
its own which will be turned loose
during the dull moments
You'll Know 'Em
Many other Coos county Elks are
motoring in for the convention but
those who arrived by rail will live
In the cars while here. All the Marsh
field brothers may be detected by a
miniature double button badge which
they wear modestly showing where
they are from and intimating that the
next state convention will be held
on Coos Bay. Since the Marshfield
lodge received unanimous compli-.
mentary vote for the 1921 meet at
the session in klamath Falls last
year and as many of the lodges over
the state have recently renewed their
pledge there SENS littl doubt but that
the herd of good fellows will seek
the cooling zephyrs Of Coos a year
hence.
The Marshfield lodge now has a
membership Of $50 scattered from
the Siuslaw river to the California
new $S0,000 temple which is the
pride of the town. Preparations are
being amde now for the dedication
OF the new temple in September and !
this occasion will be made a curtain |
raiser to the state convention next |
year. Portland and Eugene lodges
have already promised to attend the
dedication with their bands and there |
vii be representatives from all parts
pf the state at the southwestern Ore
gon metropolis for the opening do
