Charlie Kingler.. that reckless young Julian Eltinge of the Portland sheiks. ' .That the rare beauty of the spec tacle was enhanced by the magnifi cent music cannot be gainsaid. There was nothing chary about those Shrine bands. There were 16 of them in the parade and they played as if they played solely for the fun of it. And perhaps they did. Maybe they knew. too, that what was their fun was in tense enjoyment to the thousands who heard them. The bands were so spaced that their music blended per fectly into one harmonious whole. Length ' Ia Just Right. : The twin senses of sight and hear ing "were gratified, almost to excess, at the same moment, let not to ex cess. The pageant was just long enough.- None were tired. The bands that took part were those of the following temples: Al Kader-of Portland: Damascus, Rochester, N. . T.; Ismalia, Buffalo. N..Y.; Abou Ben Adhem. Springfield, Mb.: Afifi, Tacoma; Algeria. Helena: Al Malaikah. Los Angeles; KI Kalah. Salt Lake City; Ainad, East St. Louis Ziyara. Utica, N. T.; Aleppo, Boston Al Azhar. Calgary: Moolah. St. Louis; Aad, uuluth; El Karubah. Shreveport, and Abdallah,' Leavenworth. nut for the. almost delirious ex citement, the crowds might have been ored in the wait. They were not. That magnetism that animates great crowds possessed them and the per fect Oregon night added to the witch ery of the scene. A right royal thanks waa offered by the Shriners of the far eastern deserts by those who came from the lotus Isle of Hawaii, by those of the middle' west ' and by the thousands of faithful who give honor and obe- Biance even if in fun to Allah. Al Kader's' greeting. "Tell It 'With Flowers," was one of the earlier floats and it seemed almost desecra tion to call such poems in lights sim ply "floats. Tiny maidens, older ones, their cheeks flushed and happy ith the excitement of the moment. formed the heart of the perfect blos soms that unfolded themselves In lights. Kiicht Keys Are Struck. Dignified indeed, was the "Hitting the Hot Sands for Mecca." presented by an aged "ship of the desert." sway ing realistically as a youthful son of Al Kader sought the way to the oasis. Striking the right key. too, was the "Band of Friendship." a presentation of a Masonic ring, with all Masonic and Shrine emblems worked into the scheme of light and beauty. All the Masonic and Shrine insignia that the layman might have -access to were wrought into the perfect pic tures.. Anon were the imaginations of the lovers of fairies. For one had to become imaginative to get the spirit of the occasion; and. for that matter, most of those who saw and wondered and admired became chil dren again. - - . Pageants of all sorts, the caves of fairyland, the wildest animals, all conjured into shape and mysticism by the color schemes, became real for the moment. And when - the last spectacle had passed, when the last band had stop ped, then and ttien only did the wild fun of the night begin. Scores - of bands paraded. Laughing thousands danced and played and were children again. And now nothing is left but mem ory. - . The Halles Closed Tight. THE DALLES, Or., June 22. (Spe cial.) In order to permit local Shrin ers to attend the opeYilng of the an nual i national convention of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine in Portland to day The Dalles is closed tight. No store is doing business and the city and county offices are just skimming along to put in time. Streets are deserted and it is evi dent from the few pedestrians about that The Dalles, is celebrating in Portland. A big . delegation of locU Shriners and their ladies left early this morning for the Rose City mecca, where they hope to enjoy the zum zum waters of the big oasis, listen to the chanting of oriental maidens and enjoy, drills ol the several patrols. They came, they siw and they were, conquered," might be an apt phara- phrase of the ancient Roman adage, for yesterday saw the formation ot one of the greatest mutual admiration - societies in the history of either Port land or Shrinedom. Every means of transportation in the city was made use of and while numberless set-trips J have been arranged for the visitors and were generously patronized, many of the guests were taken in charge by friends or acquaintances and -shown the city environs and this sec tion of the northwest of which Shrine organizations have no record. At that. 'official headquarters for the varied assortment of pre-arranged trips reported last night that some 14.000 guests took advantage of their . service and the best estimates show that at least another 6000 were cared for by private citizens. Late estimates from registration headquarters agree that there are 7S.00O guests here, who will want to view the sights, both in . the city and vicinity. Columbia Migrh way Fopalsr, -By far the most popular trip from Portland is that up the Columbia highway, but. in addition to this, there are the river trips, the "Arrow boule vard trip" to view Portland, the trips to the sawmills and also numbers of others to interesting points. All of these attract their share of attention. Yesterday 8000 Shriners were taken out on the highway. Nearly that many more were disappointed, owing to the lack of accommodation. Noble Ira F. Powers has charge of the sightseeing section of the convention and literally bugs Portland for more cars. Fifteen hundred autos reported yesterday for duty at the Sixth and Yamhlll-streets . headquarters and twice that number could have been used to good advan tage. Today the highway and city trips will start at 8 A. M. Owners who will assist in caring for the visi tors, can report from then on during any hour of the day. driving north on Sixth street from Taylor street and picking up those ready for them. The greatest need ia for cars gen erally all during the day as the at tendants at this busy headquarters find that their guests come ir a steady stream. Just at the evening dinner hour, when mnay of the business and professional men complete their day s work there are plenty of cars on hand as many of these men ortve past ana ' pick up a crowd before going home. . Chairman Powers thinks that if some at the employers of the city would re- lease some of their employes who own , machines this might tend to reduce -. the number of disappointed visitors. . . However, he wants it understood that -the Shrine sightseeing committee is . on the Job as "bitter-enders and will see their work through to the finish '. and will , make certain that all the . nobles and their families see all there is to be seen, if they will only stay with it long enough. Four thousand were carried yester- , day on cars furnished by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Co. both on their round trip over the heights and -through the rose growing sections of the city, and on the specials to the lumber mills. Both trips were equal ly popular and tomorrow they will have just as many cars on the job. Trips Take About One Hour. Either, of these trips takes about -an hour and both have their particu lar appeal. The sight of real fezzed nobles riding the logs as they are ; sent through the huge saws possibly is the most unique that many of the guests hav viewed in their western trip. The Harkins line steamer Hassalo took a capacity crowd out yesterday -afternoon and their glimpse of the flags of nrjany nations of the world flying from the huge cargo carriers was one that they will not likely for get soon. Yesterday this trip went to Vancouver to see the launching ot the Antinous and the fleet river steamer hove to while the huge SS00- . ton cargo craft first kissed the wat ers. Today the river trips will again be a feature of the entertainment, the boats leaving the foot of Alder street at 2:30 P. M. The street car trips will continua along the same lines, the cars stop ping at almost any point downtown to pick up Shrine passengers. All of these trips are free and are carried on continuously except during the period when parades interfere. It has been pointed out by the men in charge of the care of visitors that operators of cars and autos should bear in mind that, while it is not meant to make any discrimination in the matter of handling passengers - entitled to the accommodation, the uniformed mem bers of the bands and patrols should be given the preference in the mat ter of seats, because they generally only have a limited time at their dis posal, as their duties only release them for short periods. A "dignified" Shriner from Boston ' and another equally "dignified" from Texas last night had a brilliant in spiration. They saw a dump cart wending its way. through the 8treet3 making ready to do a little street cleaning. The ' visitors and half a dozen friends captured the dump cart and singing merrily "We're on our way," soon had a procession follow ing them. The good-natured anver, a big. kindly Dane, without a mur mur led his horse up street and down as the Bostonian directed. He seemed to relish his chance to lead a pa rade. AITOS WANTED TO CARRY VISITORS SIGHTSEEING. Noble Ira F. Powers desires to give all Shriners and visitors to the city a glimpse of Portland and the Columbia river by means of his sightseeing autos, and he has Issued an appeal to the citizens to help in this work by bringing their cars and tak ing their share of the guests on either the Columbia highwiy or the "Arrow boulevard route" in the city. Yesterday 8000 persons were given one- or the other of these trips, and nearly that number could not be cared for. The in dications are that today will Ehow an even greater number on hand expecting to be carried around. "Portland must not fail," said Noble Powers. "Give your employes who have ma chines and will help a day off. and come today yourselves. Re port at Sixth and Yamhill streets any time from 8 A. M. on." !-8a.--.-----u----:-' .U - i- : 1 : t-:.
