Portland won the hearts of 147 members of Islam temple excursion party, San Francisco Shriners, and their ladies who stopped in Portland yesterday, marking the last leg of their homeward journey following a trip through Yellowstone park. The matchless scenery of the Co lumbia river highway, over which the visitors were taken, the hospitality of the members of Al Kader temple who served as hosts the delightful dinner served at Wau-Guiri-Guin falls. near Hood River, all combined in sending the San Francisco party j southbound, singing the praises of Portland. Just by way of a special feature of the programme came the formal an nouncement by Henry Thiele of the construction of a modern tourist ho tel on the site of the present Wau-Guin-Guin inn. This inn is but two miles west of Hood River on an un usually picturesque site. , Train Arrives In Morning. Tt was S o'rlnrk vpstprflav tnrtrninp that the" special train which had car ried the San Francisco party through Yellowstone park to Spokane, Seattle and. Tacoma reached Union station. The visitors were greeted upon ar rival by a special entertainment com mittee appointed by A. H. Lea, illus trious potentate of Al Kader temple, composed of the following: A. L. Tetu, chairman; Mayor George L. Ba ker, Harvey Wells, Roy Fike, Her man von Borstel and Hugh J. Boyd, recorder of Al Kader temple. Sixty automobiles left Union sta tion at 9 o'clock with the Islam tem ple delegation. The party was taken over the Columbia river highway, with 30 minutes' stops at Vista house and Multnomah Falls. ' Picnic Dinner la Served. When the party reached Wau-Glin-Guin falls members of the Al Kader hospitality committee escorted the San Francisco Shriners over the grounds, after which a picnic dinner was served by Chef Thiele. It was at this dinner that the only mis hap of the day--occurred. The sil verware had been forgotten in Port land. But this omissi'on did not deter the- Shriners. Celery was utilized in lieu of forks through the salad course, and before the guests had concluded this ourse two heavy boxes of silverware were delivered, in answer to a hurr.y call sent to Portland. And it was this diriner that first started the visitors in their song of praise.. Instead of the usual picnic unch, a regular course dinner was served. - Short talks were given by Mayor Baker of Portland, Mayor Smith of Hood River and J. A. Ulrich, chair man of the Islam temple party. Entertainment I Praised. -"When we left San Francisco we had no idea that any group of people of any city could entertain us as you succeeded in doing so well today," said Mr. Ulrich. "Although we had been looking forward with keen an ticipation to this trip over your mag nificent highway, we had not the slightest idea of what really was in store for- us. When the eastern Shriners came to San Francisco all we heard was of the wonderful manner in which Port land had treated its visitors during the Shrine convention. We know that this praise was sincere, for to day you 'have demonstrated that Port land Is in a cias by herself when It comes to entertaining her visitors.' Scenery Is Praised. Through the visit and the journey of the San Francisco delegation over the highway yesterday will likely come unlimited advertisement of the charms of Oregon s scenery. ihis seemed certain when members of the party boarded their train last night, exclaiming that never in their ex perience had they witnessed an ar ray of such wonderful scenery. Mavor Smith of Hood River, a mem ber of Al Kader temple, informed the diners that the visit to the famous "Wau-Guin Guin falls meant more than mere entertainment. "This is an event,'.' said Mayor Smith. Tt marks a closer union between Portland and Hood River, a relation ship made possible through the link Ing' of the two cities by the paved Columbia river highway." "And perhaps you will understand this relationship even better after you hear a few remarks from the man who prepared this wonderful dinner for you today" concluded Mayor Smith as he introduced Chef Thiele clad in his working attire of white, "Today," said Mr. Thiele, "I have the pleasure of formally announcing the transfer of this property from Mr. Rand, and my intention of con stiucting a modern tourist hotel. The plans are already being drafted by the architects, and the construction of the first unit to -include 40 rooms will begin at once." The architecture will conform to the wild grandeur of the scenic look out promontory, covered with native oaks and shrubs. Phelps creek crosse the site and leaps in a wild cataract 300 feet to the water level of the Columbia. The grounds were viewed today by scores who have visited re sort hostelries of California and Eu rope and all gave praise to Mr. Thiele on his choice of a site.

Company Held Entitled to Charge for Service Irrespective of Water Actually tTsed. OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. 8. (Spe cial.) The private water companies are entitled to make a charge for fire protection. Irrespective of the quantity of water actually used to ex tinguish fires, was the decision of the public service commission ren dered in the case of Pittock-Lead-better Lumber company et al., of Van couver, Wash.,' against the North Coast Power company. The commission in its findings held that a water system must provide two classes of service, first, water 'for domestic and industrial use: sec ond, satisfactory fire protection, and that to provide for the latter service calls for more elaborate and expen sive investment than for the former alone. For fire protection there must be a higher head of water, greater reservoir capacity and larger mains, the decision continued. Fire protec tion, the engineers estimated, re quires from 30 to 70 per cent addi tional to the cost of purely domestic service. If a special charge is not made for furnishing fire protection against those directly benefited, the burden of the cost of this protection would fall upon all domestic- water consumers, w hich the commission said would be unfair. The commission rejected the conten tion of the patrons that they should pay only for water consumed and that this is a general ruling of commis sions and courts. It therefore orders that the company charge for fire pro tection service in addition to the me tered rate for the water actually consumed. Washington Dedd for Arlington. SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 7.
