HERD BROWSES AT TAVERN Distinguished Visitor Will Take In the Sifcht. Today and Biff Recep tion Will Be Tendered Him by Local Lodge Tonight, Grand Exalted Ruler Henry A. Melvin of the Order of Klks is being given a taste of the Portland hospitality "that faileth not.' no matter what the emer jcenry. Cominsf into town with but-a few hours no tire on Saturday niRht. but little opportunity was afforded for accord ing the distinguished Victor a reception worthy of the hiph position which he holds in one of the strongest fraternal or ganizations in America. But the brothers of Local Ixtdce No.- 143 have, made the most of th situation and forced an ad mission from JuriKC Melvin last night that he hadn't fared more sumptuously at the Lands of any of the lodges he has'visited on his extended trans-continental tour than he has during his. short and -wholly unannounced visit here. . Today, under the escort of a committer from the local lodpe. Judge Melvin has been taking In the sislite. that feature of the programme having been abandoned yesterday on account of the disagreeable weather. Tonight, at R 'o'clock, a recep tion is to be held in the grand exalted ruterB honor at the lodge and club rooms of Portland Ixtdge. and tt Is expected that the 1100 or more members of No. 142 and the several hundred visiting brothers from ether lodges now in the city will be present to meet Grand Kxalted Ruler Melvin. Xo official programme has been prepared for this mooting, but it will be in -the form of a farewell greeting- to the grand exalted ruler who is obliged, on ac count of urgent business, to leave for hia heme. Oakland, Cal., on the 11:45 o'clock train tonight. i Is Given a Banquet. Grand Kxalted Ruler Melvin attended but one function yesterday, and that waa purely social in character, though he had rather of a busy day of it at the Hotel Portland greeting the many local and vis iting members of the order that called to pay their respects. The function referred to was an elaborate banquet tendered him a the Ctaremont Tavern last evening-, and it was one of the most elegant func tions of Its character that has been given there in a long time. While Judge Mel vin was the guest of honor. Governor Chamberlain who Is a member of Port land Lodge No. 142. was also present and responded to a toast. The banquetting party, all of whom were Elks assembled at the Portland Ho tel at 4 o'clock, and left for the Tavern in automobiles a few minutes later. In the party were the following: District Deputy Colonel Charles B. McDonell, for the State of Oregon and past exalted ruler of Portland Lodge No. 142: Past Ex alted Rulers Ralph Hoyt. John Lamont and W. W. Robinson, of Portland Lodre No. 142: Exalted Ruler Harry F. McKay, vf Portland Lodge No. 142, who has planned the various functions in honor of Judge Melvin; Edgar Beard, George F. Small and Moses Fuchs. past exalted rul ers of Baker City Lodge No. ,T3R; D. Solis ' Cohen. Dr. C. W. Cornelius. C. K. Holmes. George 1 Hutchins. C. K. Burgess, Jay Upton and Sol Blumauer, all members of Xo. 142. As additional guests of honor there were preaent John O. Slemmens. an uncle of Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin. and Captain Robert E. Davis, Judge Melvin's brother-in-law. Ir. 3fcKay as ToaHtmastcr. Exalted Ruler McKay, in his official capacity as the head of the local lodge, acted aa toastma-ster of the evening, and while all speeches were informal and ex temporaneous, wit and mirth flowed free ly. One of the chief surprises of the evening was the splendid vocal numbers rendered by the grand exalted ruler who has a magnificent baritone voice and was one of the most famous choir singers in Oakland for a number of years, and while he doesn't admit it. it is said that he was once on the point of going on the stage In opera, but was dissuaded from so do ing. In a neat speech at the banquet he said that there wasn't a lodge in the country with a finer home than the one the boys of Portland have, though he added that the Oakland Lodge feels that it has ChQ very best one in the world. He related numerous incidents of the trip which he has just -made across the continent and said that without exception he found all lodges visited in a healthy and. flourishing condition and expected them all to make a splendid showing at the next Grand Txtdge convention to be held in Philadel phia in July. He said that some of the hotels In the Quaker City had already been reserved to the very last room for the Elks' convention, though it is still nearly four months away and that an in dications were that it would surpass any gathering of the sort ever held. The banquetters returned to the eity about midnight. No official itinerary for the sight-seeing tour today has been mapped out, but Grand Exalted Ruler Melvin will be es corted by Exalted Ruler McKay and two or three other members of the local lodge, and it is expected that a number of trips through, the city, to the- heignta and suburbs, will be taken if the weather permits. Dr. McKay requested the Ore gonian to extend through its columns an invitation to even Elk in Portland, whether a member of the local lodge or not, to attend the reception in honor of the distinguished -visitor at the Elks' club rooms, Seventh and Stark, tonight. TWO HUSBANDS DESERTERS Lonely Women Ask Aid of Police in Finding Them. Two women came to the Police Sta tion yesterday with tales of desertion by- their husbands. Mrs. Vinson, who is staying at the Hotel Hood, reported her husband left her room yesterday at 3:20 P. M., and stated he was going to the depot to buy tickets for Briggs. Or. He has $700 In his possession and had been drinking. He did not return during the evening. Another case more pathetic than the first was that of Mrs. MeNaulty, of 702 Thurman street. Her husband, an ex member of the Fire Department, has disappeared, leaving his wife in a deli cate condition. MeNaulty is addicted to drink, and lost his position in the Fire Department because of this. Mrs. McNaulty's mother died a few weeks ago. and the young woman is left in the icity without a friend or relative.

WILL TAKE NEEDED REST He Expresses Satisfaction That Ore gon Has at IjblM, Full Delega tion at Washington and Praises Bourne. Charles W. Fulton. United States Sen ator from Oregon, tired and worn from his long Winter's work at Washington, arrived in Portland at 1 o'clock yester day morning and left laot night for his home at Astoria, where he goes to take a well-earned rest. On his arrival. Sen ator Fulton went to the Portland Hotel, and in spite of the fact that his arrival was unannounced hw entire day and up almost to the hour of his leaving for home was taken up in receiving' calls from his friends and from politicians of pasf and present greatness. t Senator Fulton showed unmistakable signs of having passed through a hard Winter's work. He was In good health, but there were lines on his face which only come from hard work and much burning of midnight oil. The Senator from Oregon confessed he was tired, and at the name time he quickly added that he was supremely and contentedly happy, for now, for the first time since he took his 'seat "In the Senate, Oregon is-being represented by a complete delegation. This. Senator Fulton declared, is indeed cause for. great rejoicing, for now he can shift some of the responsibility of the care of Oregon upon the shoulders- of hie colleagues. Senator Fulton refused to talk politics. He stated he had not made up his mind whether he would be a candidate to suc ceed himself or not. In the rush and hard work at Washington, the Senator said he had had little time for keeping track of things political in Oregon. Before he commits himself on this important move ment he will first take the rest that he came home fdr, and fhen he declared It would be time enough to consider his plans for the. future. Bourne Is Well Liked. Senator Bourne will, according to Sen ator Fulton, remain in Washington for at least two months. Senator Fulton spoke in high praise of the splendid Im pression Senator Bourne has made in Washington and expressed aa b opin ion lhat Senator Bourne will accomplish great things for Oregon at Washington Ex-Senator Mulkey was also compliment ed toy Senator Fulton. Senator Fulton at this time has only planned for two things. First, the re3t he will take, and next for a tour of the state. During the Summer months Sen ator Fulton, unless he should have cause to change his plans, will make a per sonal visit to every section of Oregon. This intenaed trip is not a new Idea with Senator Fulton, but one he had planned a couple of years ago, but has never, on account of being alone in Washington been able to accomplish. "It was one of the many promises that I had made to myself, when I was elect ed to the Senafe." said Senator Fulton yesterday in discussing his plans for the Summer, "to make a tour of the state, meet the people, see what they wanted and study the conditions. My duties have been such that I have never been able to accomplish this, but now that I have a complete delegation to share the work with me, I will be able to carry out my original plans. I want to be in closer touch with the actual needs of the state. There is onlywme way to do this, and that is to see things for one's self and to talk with fhe people. Works Hard During Winter. 'My work in Washington this Winter was extremely hard. In fact. It has been so ever since I went back there. But once during the S'sselon did I take an evening off to go to a theater, and I did not during the Winter accept invitations out more than half a dozen times. I feel, however, that my time was well spent, for in the matter of appropria tions Oregon has fared extremely well. I cannot at this time give the exact amount of the appropriations, but it must amount to something over $3,500,000. In short, Oregon got about everything that was asked for. Senator Bourne will remain in Washington for at least two months. There are a great number of important Oregon matters pending be fore the departments which Senator Bourne will look after while he is there. "Senator Bourne has made a splendid Impression in Washington. Already he has established.a wide acquaintance. His ability to meet people and hla quick grasp of detail is a constant surprise to those who come in contact with- him. I look for Senator Bourne to accomplish more for Oregon than any Senator that has ever been sent to ( Washington ,from Oregon. Senator Mulkey has also made a most favorable impression in fact, this same thing can be said for Oregon's del egation in Congress." In speaking of the new officiate of the Interior Department. Senator Fulton said he felt sure Secretary Garfield and Commissioner Ballinger would prove to be most efficient officials. -.He' is also- of the opinion that it is Secretary Gar field's intention to lift the embargo upon the thousands of patents to Oregon lands that are held up at the present time. The new Secretary of the Interior and the new Commissioner will soon make a tour of the West for the purpose of looking Into the land question, and one of the places they will visit will be Ore gon. Senator Fulton left on the Astoria train for- his home last night, but during the hours that he was in the city he met and ; talked ' wifh many people. Among those who called upon the Senator at the hotel were A. A. Jayne, of Hood River; G. A. Westgate and w. S. U'Ren. enthusiastic union spirit. " It is believed that by April the entire craft will have been organized solidly and the benefits of co-operation appreciated. At a meet ing of the executive board Friday after noon a committee was appointed to en gage permanent headquarters and reading-room. Until new quarters are se cured meetings will be held on the first and third Sundays of each month at Drew hall, 162 Second street, at 2:30 P. M., sharp.

AL.PHONSK OAUTEAR, one . of the charter members- of the Tongues of Fire sect, gave a free musical entertain ment and delivered a masterful sermon yesterday morning when the Becker gar age and seven big automobiles were going up in smoke. He was among the first on the. scene and immediately fell on his knees and began to alternately play hymns on a mouth organ and pray. "O Lord, sta.y the names, so that we may all se thy power," he wailed In high treble. . Every little while he would stop his prayer offering to plajyupon his mouth organ. His exhibition was so interesting that the fire was soon a second object of curiosity, as Gautear had a monopoly on the crowd. Everything was progress ing lovely for- Gautear until Detective John Price, happened. "That man must be crazy, declared Price, after he had seen the perform ance. Gautear was taken to the Police Station, where be was confined until late In theafternoon. While his mind if un doubtedly ttnbalanced on religion, Gau tear can talk rationally upon any other subject. He Is a janitor at the Canyon Hotel. Before he was released he was told that seven automobiles had been destroyed in the fire and he was much perturbed be cause he had prayed for divine interfer ence. He characterized automobiles as flying devils of destruction, and declared that because of his mistake he would have to fast for two weeks. 231 WASHINGTON ST. ' PORTLAND OREGON. MAKER OF MENS CLOTHES One year ago Smith was a strictly wholesale butcher, selling direct to the retail meat markets of this city. At the request of the Beef Trust, who wished to control ALL the meat trade of the city, the retail butchers boycotted Smith. Smith turned to the public and offered meat at wholesale prices. The people came to Smith, and thus did the Beef Trust fail to monopolize the meat trade of our city. The people have stood by Smith, and Smith will stand by the people. FRANK L.

It is a strong remark, but a true one, that there does not exist today never has existed in Portland, a market with Government inspection. All this "scream" about it is a regular Beef Trust fraudulent practice. Some markets may get a dab of Government inspected meat for a show, and at the same time they are cutting over their , counters meats that the Government Inspectors have never seen.
