Forty-five representatives of the National Rotarlan Association have al ready arrived in Tortiand In advance of the official delegation of 200 that will be here early Monday morning, and the headquarters at the Perkins Hotel Is humming with the enthusiasm that will burst into its full strength when members of the Portland Rotary Club and the advance guard of the visitors throng to meet the special train bear Ins: the remainder of the crowd from the Eastern cities and from Seattle and Tacoma.4 The Eastern delegation, headed by Paul P.

With Imperceptible motion. Dr. But ler reached for a rifle, got sight on the deer and killed him the first and only shot. The effect within the tent was startling. The professor rolled on his back, legs threshing the air and whooped, while Mr. Ground rose to his feet and took the canvas with htm. "Ikta hyas plah!" , "Kloshe kalttan, you bet!" "Cultus hyas plshplsh!" The exclamations were simultaneous, one of exultation and the others of In dignation at the rude awakening. They fell on the offender and mauled him all over the camp through aheer envy at his luck. When the three meet since their re turn and the doctor begins his skoo kum warra, the others elevate their nostrils and say In unison: "Elite mowltsh!" meaning that the animal that the doctor killed was a pet deer with a rope around Us neck. But the doctor In all his hyas kloshe nem simply calls them sick tumtums. ;' 'i t . I '' A .
