I look upon these distinctions as belna- given, not to honor me. but to honor the htrhest power In the great order of which we are members. Since I have come to Portland I have come to love the city and I have come to love you. nobles, but I love you as plain Frank Treat, and I hope you love me as Frark Treat."

"I feel." he said, "that reference to me as a Democrat. In this gathering.

Introduced me as the temocratle warhorse of Jackson County.' Frateraal Orders Bladlag. "The penalty Of civilization." he con tinued, "la that It Isolates the Indi vidual. Our religious creeds do not bring us together on a basis of mu tual understanding: politics lesds us apart: business Is nothing better than organised brigandage, where each one tries to grab all there's In It for him; but our fraternal organizations are the great mediums through which all these forces are molded together. "This organization Is the cement that binds the best people of the earth to gether. The Kings of Kurope. through It. are your brothers and mine. 1 be lieve that the Shriners and the Ma sonic organisations are doing more for civilization today than any force on the face of the earth. I give my time to It as a religious duty. In these organizations Urs the secret that tells us why. in times when nations were In arms against each other, and Internal strife and turmoil held swsy. those na tions have still persevered In their courses, and have not perlahed."

Mo Eldowney, of Crystal Springs Farm, to Judge the harness horses, dairy cat tle and hogs. The third class, which proved to be the baby exhibit, Mr. Plummer has de- elded he will be the Judge of himself. Mr. Plummer hss arranged to put the baby show on strictly a livestock basis with American, English. Scotch, Irish and German classea. There will be prizes for the hast boy and girl under one year and over one year, also a grand champion of all classes, to be the ine best-bred baby In the show.
