"Welcome to our oasis," said Gov ernor Olcott, "and may your voices be raised in peans of thanksgiving that you are with us; If -you are unable ' to uncork nothing else, un cork your Joys and iet them be un confined.

The caltope stopped and Ararat s Jasz band emerged from the train and gave a serenade. Befor6 the train was ready to leave a motley throng crowded the station platform.

GOOD R I D T J G M MS EXHIBIT OF HUNTERS Flying Fox Takes Blue Ribbon in Women's Class. SHANNON KING SECOND NOBLES TO VISIT SALEM Nobles of the east met chiefs of the western Indians yesterday. Proud leaders of the Umatillas, clad in the full paraphernalia of their tribal rank. held dignified converse with sheiks from the far deserts. The streets and palaces of the Mecca of all Shrlnedom echoed with music strange to many ears. Those who came from the des erts, bringing their dulcimers and utes, . exchanged harmonious greet- ngs with bearers of savage tom-toms. with those who played the resonant gong and vibrant flute of the orient, with the Kanaka chiefs who strummed their ukuleles, or the scions of proud Scottish clans who piped and drummed. Dressed in robes of flowing white. Bedouins. their beards trimmed in spade-shaped patterns, listened, mute with amazement, as strains such as their ears had never before neara floated and flooded the clear air of Oregon. Thousands of skilled musi cians, expert in their own land, dis coursed their native strains for ap preciate ears. It was a feast of music of all climes and periods. Banda Regale Hosts. Pausing only long enough after the completion of their fatiguing parade of the forenoon to refresh the inner man with the delicacies of the west ern feast, the almost innumerable bands of the assembled hosts who have captured the city regaled tne willing slaves of their conquest and their allies with a concert of such magnitude that it would tax the skill of the most superlative of scriveners to portray it all in words. The pean of joy that was lifted to the skies was an amazing one, and it is estlmat ed that there were over 2300 musi cians engaged in coaxing harmony from their instruments during the afternoon. They were divided into more than 65 groups and distributed about the city, every prominent cor ner or rallying point having its set of skilled heralds or bandsmen and their attendant coterie of entranced auditors. There was too much in the aggre gate to try to select any ona or dozen organizations as deserving of especial praise. Some outfits pleased one set of people, others again at tracted yet more until it wns bewil dering to pick favorites. Most or the crowd just were entertained, drifting from one set of artists to another as fancy dictated. It was a case of "I could be happy witH any were the other charmers only away, and dul cet Btralns or Irresistible measures would y draw the ever fickle crowd f r.-.m one section of the city to- an other. r , T. .

Members of the volunteer CANADIAN POLICE COMING Company of Northwest Mounted Force to Take Part In Fete. Word was received yesterday by Governor Olcott that a company of the Canadian northwest mounted po lice will take part in the Rose Festi val. They will arrive tomorrow morn ing and will march in the afternoon parade. This is the first time in the history of their organization that they have ever received authority to lessve the dominion and participate in a civic function in the United States. For several months Eric V. Hauser, president of the board of governors of the Rose Festival r.ssociation, has been making an active campaign "to get the Canadian government . offi cials to tear up the red tape and allow the mounted police to come to Port land. He made two trips to Vancou ver. At one time he seemed success ful,' and the officials announced that they would allow the detachment to leave Canada. Then they experienced a change of heart and backed down. Finally Governor Olcott was appealed to, and the message of yesterday was the result of their combined efforts. The Vancouver (B. C.) police band will also come to march in the parade Thursday afternoon. Premier among the week's social calendar of. Shrine events was the imperial potentate's ball last night at the Scottish Rite cathedral. Because of tho large crowd at tending, the Broadway dance pavilion, Chrlstensen'a and Cotilllan balls also were used. Imperial Potentate and Mrs. Kendrick led the grand march in each hall. They were followed by other Shrine officers. The ball waa strictly formal. Many beautiful gowns were displayed by the women. A feature of the dance was the per formance of a group of eight tiny fairy maids, who appeared in a ballet under the direction of Mrs. Elsie Centre. Earlier in the evening the banquet room at the cathedral waa the scene of a dinner for officers of visiting bands and patrols. This was in charge of George Mettler.
