Eleven O'clock
Toast

The founders of our order divided
the meetings into business and social
sessions. Refreshments We're provided
Frequently a few Of the members
were absent, although refreshments
had been procured for all. The meet
ings generally broke up at about
eleven o'clocN There was no cere-
mony at the leave taking. The mem
bers before departing would joking
ly consume the refreshments pro-
vided for those who were not pres
ent-the absent brothers.
One night, on May 81, 1868, Bro.
Geo. f. Mcdonald filling his glass
from an absent brothers portion,
proposed a toast. Little did he think
that the words about to issue from
his lips would live throughout eter-
nifty; that all Elks with respect and
reverence for all time to come would
repeat the classic he was about 10
utter. Then and there was inaugur
ated one of Elkdom's prettiest SEN
most cherished ceremony,

the acceptance of r. H. Huffman,
delivered at the school July 16

Both the board of control and the
superintendent of the state school

ter to Judge Wade states, adding
that it is unfair for any judge to take
undue advantage of conditions for

A letter that is being forwarded to
every county judge in the state by
the state board Of control calls atten-
ton to the state law relative to COM

quires that notice of readiness to ac-
commodate additional patients at the
institution must be given by the su-
perintendent before the patient can

First Lodge Of
Elks Organized
Fifty Years Ago

The Benevolent Protective Order
of Elks was organized on February
16, 1858, in New York city,
To Charles Vivian, an actor, born
in England, in the year 1912, is cred
tied the distinction of organizing the
lodge-for it was not yet an order,
despite it's name.
The founders of our order were
members of the theatrical, minstrel,
musical, equestrian and literary pro-
fession," to quote from the pream-
BILE of the original constitution. They
were first banded together under the
name "The Jolly Corks,' for social
purposes only, and as the meetings
grew more successful and benevolent
charities, and business were under
taken, the Benevolent and Protect
i've Order of Elks was finally born.
Three years later on, in 1871, Phil
adelphia asked permission to organ
ize a branch" lodge. Ways and
means were discussed, and, as a re-
suit, the legislature of the state of
New York granted a charter to Grand
Lodge, B. p. o. Elks, on March 10,
1871, and on the same day the grand
lodge issued a charter to New York
lodge No. 1. Two days later a char
ter was issued to Philadelphia lodge
No. 2.
So slow was the growth of the or
der that it was not until 1876, or five
years later, that lodges at San Fran
cisco, No. 8, Chicago No. 4, and Gin
cinnati No. 5, were instituted.
Today there are 1880 lodges, COM
prising more than 650,00O members.
No order in our country does so much
to promote true patriotism - pure
No order on earth does
more in the interests of charity, be-
nevolence and brotherly love. The
Elks have no patent, no divine right
to these principles not possessed by
ALL The only difference is that Elks
as individuals, practice them, and,
as an order, have the strength to un-
dertake and execute any private or
public benefaction.

University City Sends
Educated Herd With
Band to Proue Talent

With joy in their hearts and songs
on their lips 200 members of Eugene
lodge No. 357, b. P. o. E., headed
by Exalted Ruler Fred e. Smith
and decorated with one of the finest
bands Of AZ pieces in the northwest,
arrived early Thursday morning, to
participate in every feature, of the
state convention of the antlered herd
Eugene lodge does not want
thing this year but good time and
the boys are looking forward to the
greatest gathering in Salem this year
that has ever been held in the state.
However, at no distant date Eugene
expects to have the honor of enter
tanning the Elks Of the state and the
live ones who are making the trip ex
pect to show the Elks that they can
give their brothers a good time at
the university city.
Band Some Enortcr
The Eugene Elks band is repute1
to be one of the best in the north
west, and the members have been
diligently practicing for the state
convention for some time. Last year
the band was newly organized when
it visited klamath Falls and they
promised at that time to have a ..rize
winner at Salem, and all indications
point to their keeping their word.
But the band is not going to be the
whole show for Eugene. The rest Of
the members are preparing several
stunts that will make things lively
for while at least. Neal Frye, chair

chairman of the pep committee cf
the lodge, but who is also day fore
man of the Southern Pacific yards
there, made arrangements for Chief
Christensen to ride on the front end
of the COW catcher of the engine
hauling the Eugene lodge to Salem.
This, claims Chairman Frye, was TO
give the officer chance to IL the
first to see trouble ahead.
Mayor Peterson and lack Rodman
took sleeper accommodations In or
der to rest up on The trip for they
do not expect to sleep for three days
thereafter.
