ARE ALL PREPARED Local Committee Has Every thing in Good Shape. STARTING TOUCH AWAITED Arrangements Made Insure Accom modations for Visitors, No Matter How Numerous. Tf some all-powerful person in that ancient Arabian ordrr of the Shrine were to drop into Portland this morn ing: and say: "We've prot to switch plans. Portland must hold the Shrine convention this week. the leaders pre paring for the reception and enter tainment of from 60.000 to "100,000 visitors, depending on the number of persons who flock in from the north west, would simply press a few but tons, make a few telephone calls, send at a few letters, and presto! every thing would be r-ady." Last niffht W. J. Hoffman, the general chairman, decided to check oo on Shrine features. He found that not a single feature was lacking or delinquent. Tortland and the Shrine committee are ready. Decorations, parades, organizations, all could be. polished up and assem bled in 48 hours, to such a stage has preliminary effort"becn carried. Preparations All Made. Every committeeman was instruct ed to be ready for action.. June 5, although the convention Is still more than two weeks distant. Now the wheels are all pressed, the motor is ready to be started and nothing .re mains but the touch of the' starter. Here are some of the thousands of features cleaned: There will be In Portland 8 march tnjf patrols, 74 bands, 15 chanter or ganizations, five jazz bands, 16 drum corps and one gun squad. And these are not circus press agent features, but the honest-to-noodness real thing, proven by the Shrine com mittee from its records. Do you like lisurcs? Well, here are some more: There win be 39 special trains, parked on specially laid tracks around the park blocks, on and close to Jlisan street and other tracks of easy access to the city. . That is, 39 spe cials that will be used as hotels, with thousands of quests sleeping oil them when they find time for sleep and eating on them, if they ever can find time for such a detail. There will be II more special trains, with the equipment parked away till the Shriners leave, although it may be Called into service should it be needed. Tho special trains will have tele phones put aboard by the Shrine committee. There wfll be 160 telephones on fcoard the 39 trains. The telephone number is Broadway 8000, and there will be a special Shrine switchboard with 12 tratned operators who know Portland like a book able to tell Shrine guests where they can get anything from a haircut to an am bulance and with the precise details of the programme at their fingers' ends. Information booths all over Port land w ill be hooked on to this special Shrine switchboard, so that all a vis itor will have, to do will be to take a. telephone off the hook and ask for what he wants. Guy M. Morris of the telephone company has handled this stunt. Hotel Rooms All Reserved. Kvery room in 61 hotels has been reserved and from two to four vis itors will be dispatched to every room. Then a few more folks will be hidden away as follows: Multnomah club Irrington club .............. . they have learned -the details of tha Portland entertainment by all odds the greatest ever offered at a Shrine convention. AatomobUe Are Restricted. No automobiles, save those for com mercial houses for de'livery purposes, will, be allowed Inside a certain re stricted downtown area. Downtown will be transformed over night into an oriental city, with mosques, minarets and the other fea tures that Arabian Shriners know so well. No streets -will be torn up. ' Street flushing will be done at night and the city made sweet and clean every morning. Wood must be removed from in front of residences "by official order. On the highway will be a service car every two miles. Drivers will not need to change their tires if they have punctures. It will be done for them. A woman driver will be per fectly at ease. The festival center will be several times better than ever before. The electric parade will outstrip the hap piest hopes of the past. And this is but a sketch of the real thing. Every Shriner has his Job. Every man is on his toes. The Shrine turn. tnittees are getting restive waiting ior me siarrjng wnistle. "Ready T' they say. "Ton bet we're ready." In the slang: of the day: ItTl be some show! 'Booze" Found to Be Word of Ancient Lineage. Professor Discovers Simrre as Vera and Noun In 1.1 OO. SINCERE HOSPITALITY SHOWN CLUB WOMEN Eastern Oregon Homes and Hearts Opened to Delegates. COUNTRY IS BEAUTIFUL CLEVELAND, O, June 5. "Boois" has had its ancient and honorable ancestry In the English language un covered here recently by Professor. William H. Holme of Western Reserve university. Labeled for' generations aa an ety mological outlaw and branded as such with quotation marks. Professor Hulme finds "boose" has a. pedigree longer than that of most kings. Its earliest spelling, according to Pro fessor Hulme, was "bowse." Later writings showed it was "bouse" and finally "booze." "Both as & noun and t-h , word," Professor Hulme said, "written bowse' in middle English literature as far back as 1300. had the meaning to annic" to excess.' About 1600 the word lost the honorable character it had and became a slang word. The particular 'bousing' is recorded as early as 1529. and 'boused was used in i.nslish In 1611." Watershed Is Restricted. THE DALLES, Or., June 5. (Spe cial.) A measure barring all camp ers, fishermen and stock from the watershed of The Dalles water sys tem was enacted at the last meet ing of the city council.

At the depot the visitors will give to an information desk a card giving the telephone number of their hosts, previously supplied them, and duplicate records will be available.

Practically all of them have renewed them since Scenes of Convention of Federation Around; Wallowa Lake Said, to Be Unsurpassed. BY EDITH KNIGHT HT1.T The word "hospitality" took on a more sincere meaning when the peo ple of Enterprise entertained the Oregon Federation of Women's clubs June 1. 2, 3. 4. In that wonderfully beautiful Wal lowa valley way up in the corner of the state, there are people whose generosity and kindness could not te surpassed. They opened their homes and their hearts to their visitors. They gave them the best they owned. Hospitality Spirit Noted. The spirit of hospitality was noted at La Grande where the club women had prepared a breakfast of the choicest sugar cured ham. fresh eggs fried Just right, fruit, coffee, biscuits and delicious conserves. Music, sung by fresh-voiced young women, and wild flowers, yellow and blue lupins from the hillsides, were artistic addi tions to the repast. At Wallowa, the next stop, there was a lunch served by just a small club of about 18 women, but women of tremendous energy and splendid ability. Their president is a typical western woman, if one could choose the ideal as a type strong, vigorous, keenly alert mentally, capable, a woman who can write a story, make pie or bread or give an address with equal ability. Only one person In Wallowa seemed to be disappointed with the club women guests. As they got off the train singing "I'd Like to Leave the World Behind," a small lad of about 10 years looked the women over care fully and in disgust said, "Aw, I thought they wuz a-goin' to foe good lookin' and these are what they are makin' a fuss over! Heck, not a one of 'em under 60." Mrs. Charles H. Castner told this little Incident at one of the impromptu programmes later on at Wallowa lake. bpeaking or age. there was one president, Mrs. Mary Dlsosway, of a Pendleton club, who celebrated, her 80th birthday yesterday and she climbed some of the most strenuous steps to the falls above the lake. And there was Miss Alta Mentzer, presi dent of the women's league of Ore gon Agricultural college, who is still in "her teens and who represented" 900 college girls, members of the feder ation, and there was Nancy Dickson, president of another Pendleton club, a young woman in her twenties, I should guess. Maybe the weight of office made these two qualify with the others In the small boy's esti mation. Enterprise Seta Pace. Enterprise has set a pace for enter taining. Its doors were opened wide. Its tables -were laden with all the delicacies of the season served in good wholesome, generous style. The people of Enterprise know the art of entertaining. They let their guests do as they like. The people of Joseph, too. another gem of a town in most picturesque surroundings, are well versed In the accomplishment of dis pensing hospitality. Theirs was the part of serving a luncheon of 1000 trout with all sorts of home-made pies and cakes and salads and bis cuits, at the lake shore. And after the lunch the delegates gathered un der the evergreen trees in an ideal grove, with chummy little streams flowing on either side, with steop snow-clad mountains towering near hy. with a roaring waterfall just half a mile off and with the clear blue sky canopying all. and held a pro gramme in which the Indian legends were recalled and everyone joined in singing "Auld Lang Sync." There was jollity and good cheer in plenty. On the trip homeward, the special had a jolly time and everyone pres ent, including the dignitaries and some university and college faculty folk were Initiated into a secret order to which delegates only are eligible. Not only the hospitality and the repasts and motor trips delighted the delegates. A speoial word must be said for the' music at all club sessions. They have some excellent singers and pianists in northeastern Oregon and they know good music LIBRARY IS ON WHEELS "Poblic Library Inaugurates Dc livery to Country Patrons.
