RECEPTION HERESATISFACTORY Final Arrangcmcn(g for Entertain ment of Chief Executive Will Be Made Tonight Mnjor Clark Ar rives Today. The arrangements made by the Portland committees for the reception and enter tainment of President Theodore Roosevelt have been approved by three representa tives of the Secret Service, who have since gone over the route and Inspected the buildings the President is to visit In the Puget Sound cities. The entire route over which the Presi dent is to travel in his parade, the hotel he Is to occupy during the evening and the stand from which he is to speak at the City Park, were all inspected by the representatives of the Secret Service, and the arrangements were found to have been satisfactorily made by the local com mittee. The precautions taken by the Secret Service were not made by the President's orders, it Is understood here, but that branch of the Government service is mak ing every effort to guard against acci dent on its own motion. "With the Presi dential party and traveling ahead of the special train, and following it Is declared to be a force of Secret Service men num bering 45. These special agents are charged with the duty of investigating thoroughly .every arrangement made for the President's care, watching his party while in each city visited and aiding the police in every movement made by the officers. These are precautions which it has been declared to be necessary, in or der that carelessness may not be allowed to creep Into any of the reception plans. Every Precaution Taken. The value of the Secret Service agents' work was illustrated at Olympia, where the committee In charge of the Presi dent's entertainment had planned to drive him across a bridge which the townspeo ple realized was not perfectly safe. While It Is not likely an accident would have oc curred during such a drive, the possibility existed, and the watchfulness of the Se cret Service men prevented any possibility of trouble arising. While no statement as to the effect of the Secret Service agents' visit has been given out. it is understood slight changes were made In the programmes elsewhere In the Northwest at the suggestion of the Secret Service men. These alterations In the programmes were not of prime im portance. In Portland the Secret Service men were driven over the entire route to be fol lowed by the Presidential parade, and afterward made a trip themselves In a more leisurely manner. They inspected the new stand erected at the City Park, and gave instructions for looking after it during the days preceding the Presidential visit. The stand was found to have been erected in a manner that insured its safety. The rooms of the President at the hotel and the banquet hall which he will use were inspected by the Secret Service men and pronounced satisfactory. Elsewhere during the President's trav els there have been orders issued to the effect that admittance to the hotels where he Is staying must be by card. This plan will be followed while he is in Portland. Final Arrangements Made Today. The final arrangements for the enter tainment of the President will be com pleted at a meeting held In the Commer cial Club this evening by the reception committee. This will be the last gather ing prior to the arrival of the President, and all matters pending will be settled at that time. Invitations were sent out yesterday by the committee to the guests of the city who will ride in the carriages provided for the parade on May 21. There have been arrangements made for 32 carriages, in which the city's guests will be driven to the Park. The local guests will assemble at the Hotel Portland and be driven to the Union Depot to meet the special train. The carriages will be drawn up about the depot, and as soon as the Presidential party arrives the special committee will provide for .their seating, and the parade will be ready to move without any delay. At the Park those guests in carriages are to follow the Presidential party to the speaking stand, from which the city's guests will witness the celebration of the laying of the" corner-stone to the Lewis andtClark monument. Portland Guests Xnmlier 105. The list of guests who are to occupy the carriages numbers 105, exclusive of the 23 persons in the President's party. Under Instructions from the President, no pro vision was made for seating-any persons in. the fifth carriage, which will probably be filled by guests of the President, who may come here at the last moment. There have been 135 .acceptances received to invitations to occupy scats on the platform from which the President will speak at the City Park. This list will completely fill the stand. In addition the officials In charge of the President's en tertainment Issued invitations yesterday to 217 persons, who will be assigned posi tions in the enclosure Immediately sur rounding the stand. Major Clark Arrives Today. Word was received yesterday from Ma jor William Hancock Clark, grandson of the famous explorer, who Is to be a guest of the Lewis and Clark committee at the ceremonies at the monument site, to the effect that he would teach Portland this afternoon. Major Clark is accompanied by his wife, and their arrival today Is in plenty of time to participate in the cele bration. The work of decorating Portland's streets for the Presidential parade is be ing rushed by the decoration committee. Comparatively few of the business houses have been decorated, but there remains plenty of time for that work. About the Portland Hotel the decorators are busy arranging for the beautiful display of electric lights and National colors. The electric effect promises to be unusually brilliant. ISSUES SEW ORDERS.

The decorating of the city for the Pres ident's visit will be completed today. Al ready the entire route to be traversed In this city by Mr. Roosevelt is gay with flags and festoons of bunting, and every window nearly has Its picture of the famous man. Even the Presidents best friends would not call him a strikingly handsome map too much of the old Dutch ancestry allied with tho most forceful Americanism for that perhaps but copies of his portrait are displayed by practically every dwelling and shop win dow In town. It is a fact that tho por drait of no other public man has ever been so much in demand in this town as that of Mr. Roose'elt. It Is estimated that 15,000 to 20.000 pictures of him have ben sold here recently at prices varying from 5 cents to SO cents. Even In Chinatown numerous pictures and flags glvo evidence that patriotism and public spirit are not lacking there al together. Seld Back, Jr., captain of the company of American-born Chinese, has been as busy as a bee of late getting his com pany ready to do Its share In the greet ing of tho city's guest. The little band expects to make a very creditable show ing. Of course the "button" man is abroad. From various much-frequented street corners one hears the vociferous solicita tions to buy a "Rough Rider hat badge," a "strenuous pin." a "Roosevelt button." And as regards flags and bunting gen erally Independence day hero never saw a greater display. Certainly no other single guest of the city ever passed under so much of It here aa will the President tomorrow. To Decorate the Postofflce. Nothing has yet been done In the way of decorating the Postofflce building In honor of President Roosevelt's visit to this city. Postmaster Bancroft was seen yesterday looking over the west front of the building and was asked what he was going to do in the way of decorating it. He said he intended to ornament the west front, opposite tho Portland Hotel with evergreen and flowers. He had at first thought of tearing down the old porches on this front of the building, but finally Programme of music to ba rendered by De Caprlo's band .at the Hotel Port land, on May 21, from 7:30 to 10:30 P.

Fidelity Band. PORTLAND. May 19. (To the Editor.) In the report of the President's parade, a mistake has been made In the name of one of the bands, which was given as the PRESIDENT'S CHORUS MUST HAVE TICKETS. The only entrance to the music plat form on the occasion of the laying of the corner-stone of the Lewis and Clark monument, by President Roosevelt, on Thursday, will be at the bead of Park avenue, which can be reached by taking the Washington-street car to St. Clair street, and thence up St. Clair street to Park avenue. No one will bo admitted without a ticket. Those who are to sing In the chorus can obtain tickets admitting to the mu sic platform, on application to tho con ductor, Mr. W. H. Boyer. at his studio, 402 Marquam building, oa Wednesday, May 20, from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M.. on Thursday morning, from 10 to 12. or at the Taylor-Street Church, Third and Taylor streets, on Wednesday evonlng, from S to 0:30. All members of the chorus must be in their seats on the music platform not la'ter than 4 P. M. on Thursday. Industrial Band, but this should be "Fi delity Band," and the band has asked that this be kindly corrected, which we have pleasure in requesting, as the mis take was ours. PARADE COMMITTEE. Colored Citizens. All of the colored citizens wishing to tako part In the Presidential parade will meet Thursday at 1 b'clock P. M. at Bethel Church, on Tenth street, between Davis and Everett. From there they will march to Sixth and Gllsan. NEED THE PORTAGE ROAD E. IT. Test, of Ontario, Speaks for Eastern Oregon. E. H. Test, of Ontario, a Democratic warhorse, and a member of the Lower House of the Legislature, said yesterday that his part of the state wanted the por tage road, and would resent any action to beat It "The effort to get a referendum on the corporation tax," said he, "will not suc ceed, but it may be different with the por tage road. I don't know that man Cow gill, but I have heard of him, and from what I hear he's no philanthropist. You may be sure that he's working for some body, and 'that he's not wasting his own money. "But if the railroads knock out that portage road, they may find the initiative invoked for lower freight rates. The in itiative would pickle them. Lots of peo ple would sign petitions to Initiate a law for lower freight rates, whether they had anything to ship or not. Lower rates are popular, you know. "Eastern Oregon needs that portage road. We all need It. Nobody dares go through our county circulating petitions for a referendum, either against that road or the corporation tax. The legitimate mining. ventures don't object to the tax; It's only the 510 mines incorporated for Jl. 000,000. The Jim Crow mines are all In corporated for $1,000,000, and they're the ones that can't afford to pay a $25 tax. The grafters and the blackmailers don't want tho tax. I'm financially interested to a small extent in the mines myself, and 2 don't approve wildcat schemes. That's why I favor the tax." Predicts Hermann's Election. Claud Gatch, of "Salem, who was Her mann's chief rival In the race for the nomination for Congress, predicted yes terday that Hermann would be elected by between 3000 and 4000 votes. "Of course, Hermann will win." remarked Mr. Gatch. "He will carry Marlon County by between 300 and 500 votes. Reaxnes may get a strong support in Southern Oregon, but the northern counties will pull Hermann through by a handsome plurality." Oregon.

GREAT SOCIAL SUCCESS SCORED Guests Hear With Delight Mnslc In Auditorium of Perfect Acoustic Properties and Dance in New Ballroom. The cathedral of the Scottish Rite Ma sons of Oregon was opened last night with a feast of music and dancing which gave the people of Portland and vicinity a fit ting opportunity to see and admire this beautiful building under the most favor able circumstances. The members of the order, their families and friends were there in Just enough force comfortably to fill the auditorium and ballroom without crowding, and the several committees looked so well after their comfort that everything ran smoothly as possible. The concert was given from the stage of the auditorium with a background of woodland scenery and filled the audience with delight. The most remarkable thing about the hall was the wonderful acoustic properties by which the faintest tone of the organ was carried distinctly to every corner. M. B. Wells drew from the organ such harmony as the ear could never weary of hearing. Dom J. Zan and Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, the soloists, filled the hall with a great volume of sound or sank their voices almost to a whisper, but one was as clearly audible as the other and that they won merited applause goes without saying to those who know their powers. The choral num- bers were rendered in such manner as showed both careful selection and careful training on the part of W. H. Boyer, tho director, and good vocal powers and study on the part of the chorus. The auditorium was devoid of decora- tlon specially for the occasion, and it needed none. The bright glow of the elec- trie lamps around the walls and dome and In front of the balcony showed its chaste whiteness and perfect proportions all the better for the absence of palms and tropical plants. A bright new National flag to the left of the stage was the sole exception to the rule. The concert was no sooner ended than the audience wandered all over the build ing to see and admire the beautiful fin ish and artistic furnishings. They lingered In the memorial hall, the library and the ladles' parlor until the band struck up In the ballroom and summoned them to the dance. The ballroom, like the auditorium, was most adorned because unadorned. A soft lignt lrraaiatea tne nan. nut mere was not a lamp of any kind to be seen. Light was supplied by 400 electric lamps con cealed along the sides of the heavy white beams In the celling. As one watched the dancers from the doors he seemed to see still other dancers through open dpors on the south side, but this was simply the reflection in the mirrors which are so built into the wall as to counterfeit doors. Nor was the inner man forgotten, for long fetbles in the large refreshment room were loaded with all that is tempt ing to the appetite, and as the guests be came heated and weary with dancing they renewed their flagging energy with cooling and bracing drinks and other things more solid. Among the guests were: Senator and Mrs. C. W. Fulton, Governor and Mrs. George .E. Chamberlain, Representative and Mrs. J. N. Williamson, Mr. and Mrs. John H. Hall.
