Great things are in store for "W. Freeland Kendrick, imperial poten tate of the Shrine of North America, w hen he arrives in Portland on Thurs day of this week for an official visit to Al Kader temple. He will see Ben W. Olcott, governor of Oregon, go through experiences far more thrilling and far more dangerous than any tumbling airplane ever gave him, when he ventures forth to tread across the burning sands which will lead him through the por tals of Shrinedom. He will see the Right. Rev. Wal ter T. Sumner, bishop of the Epis copal diocese of Oregon, get a taste of that region which he has long counseled his people to avoid. He will see theBe and other promi nent men of Portland and Oregon venture out on the most- .perilous pilgrimage across the red hot sands it has ever been .the . good , f.ortune of the nobles of Al Kader temple to arrange for a shivering class of novices. Festivities to Be Sample. All of which means that the spe cial ceremonial session which Al Kader temple has arranged for the special and sole delectation of Imperial Po tentate Kendrick will be by far the greatest Shrine gathering which the nobles of Oregon have ever planned. Then, too, the Shrine festivities this week will be but a foretaste of what the people of Portland might expect when the Imperial council holds forth in this city in 1920. bringing with it from 75,000 to 100,000 wearers of the red fez. Imperial Potentate Kendrick and members of his imperial divan will arrive in Portland Thursday Vnorning and from that moment until the party leaves for the south early Saturday morning the red fez of the nobility will be the predominant headgear on all Portland streets.

This will be a real circus parade with wild animals, clowns and all other features of the regulation circus much in evidence. The parade will wind up at the armory where the real fup- making festivities will start with the ceremonial circus. It is here that the novices, between 400 and BOO in num ber. will be given their first thrills attending a trip into Shrinedom.

On the Grand St. Bernard the monks are already using skis. Travelers are snowbound in the hospice and the life-saving dogs have hesrun their winter vieril. George R. Taylor, popular actor with Baker Stock company, eays he is "off for -life with the editorial paragrapher who conducts a "do your Christmas shopping early" campaign each year. This is George's third sea son at the Baker and last year he kept reading those little humorous "tags on the editorial page, but was not converted. Last season he neg lected his holiday buying however, until the last few days caught him with a heavy role to etudy and nearly drove him wild trying to catch up with the necessary gifts. Then he re called the several admonitions he had read from time to time and decided to follow the advice next time. So, the past couple of weeks George has been busy with highly gratifying results. A large collection of articles was gathered together in his hotel room, all in all about $150 worth, and he was beginning to feel some of those "peace, be still" sensations the propaganda had been promising to those who do it early, etc. But last Sunday while he was playing the role of the shrewd detec tive and crook grabber in "The House of Glass" at the Baker matinee. crook he had overlooked was busy with the Christmas presents and when ueorge arnvea home one look was enough. Not only the presents, but number of other articles, including a brand -new suit, were missing with out even a Merry 'Christmas for thanks. So the Christmas shopping early propaganda has lost one of its best little converts. Motorcycle Patrolm&s Calls West Side Companies Insurance Covers Damage.

Harper. af?ed night watchman at the plant, discovered the fire be hind the boiler In the plant about 1:30 o'clock yesterday morning. It had gained such headway at that time that it was impossible for him to ex tinguish it and. after ten minutes ef fort, he succeeded in getting someone to ring the bell for the volunteer fire department at Linnton. By this time the fire had gained -great headway ana was sweeping through the mill. West Side Companies Called. Someone on the east side saw the flames and rang the Portsmouth and Lombard alarm station at 1:69, there by drawing the east side companies to that box on the east side of the river, from whence the flames could be seen across the river. The companies were, however, powerless to render assist ance. It -was a motorcycle police officer patroling the Linnton district who finally sent in an alarm for- the west side companies, and engine 6, closely followed by engines 17 and 26. fire boat 1 and the harbor patrol, re sponded. The fire, however, at that time was beyond control and had spread to every section of the plant and lumber yard. The mill was a total loss and the companies expended their best efforts Jn preventing the- spread of the blaze to other buildings.

Other Plants Damaged. The proprietors of the box factory said that yesterday's fire was the first blaze they had experienced In their 15 years of operation at that place. The plant of the P. R. Howitt com pany was damaged to the extent of $100 as the result of a fire which started just after the day shift went on yesterday morning.
