: Mexican Border Service Has Thinned
Uniform Rank.
1 Portland, July, 27. Next to the
symbol of the cross, the double tri
angle has stood among all nations as
an object of veneration. The equali
ties of the equilateral triangle were
the basis of the teachings of the great
'Democrat, Pythagoras. -
In modern times the Uniformed
Rank of the Knights of Pythias have
'become known as the "Knights of the
Triangle.". It is the basic principle of
thoir teachings and with the flag of
tV United States of America as their
rallying center, the Uniformed Rank
ha become a great reserve force for
tli defense of the country.
Portland is about to be invaded by
a" section of the Northwest division of
that body of trained men. They are
coming to attend tlio convention of
the Supreme Lodge of the Knights,
whicji opens its convention in this
city August 1.
Some of the companies which will
participate will bo thin in numbers.
Their members are serving the coun
try along the Mexican frontier.
But such as are left will assemble
at Vancouver, Washington, where
their camp will be pitched in City
Park. During the 10 days the differ
ent companies will come over to Port
land to participate in the events
scheduled for the entertainment of
tho public.

Nl-.cn Christy's dead a hundred years, the fans wiil still
discuss his play, and sigh, while' shedding briny tears,
'"There are no men like him today I He used the brains
;faehind his brow, and gave the foe a grievous jar; the
chroniclers have told us how he
was for years and years a star.
Great pitchers came and cut some
grass, and died, and then forgotten
were; he saw them come, and saw
them pass, and still kicked up a"
mighty stir." The chroniclers will
also tell how Christy, when a game
was played, filled up the pipe he
loved so well, to soothe his nerves,
all tired and frayed. He smoked
Tuxedo every time, the critic's
smoke, the mild and rare, Tuxedo
Vagrant and sublime, the cool,

parade on the first day of the conven

t : :.oon, August, ;!, a competitive drill
will bo held m Multnomah Field. The
prizes aggregate $500 in cash. Com
panies from Oregon and Washington
will display their efficiency and will
be judged by army officers from Fort
Vancouver.
Cvneral J. II. Junett, of Washing
ton, will be in command of the camp
at Vancouver. It will be maintained
under strictest military discipline.
Wlu-n not participating in events on
tho program of entertainment the dif
ferent companies will be given field
drill. , '.
Tne Uniformed Rank is one of the
largest trained bodies of men on
which the government at Washington
can rely in time of need. Its men are
trained to discipline, their yearly en
campments teach them the principles
of sanitation unci personal attention
required of soldiers in the regular
army, and it is certain that when en
listed, these men could go into the
field on shorter notice than any other
body of civilians.
Under these conditions and because
of the interest in the army that is now
rampant all over the country, it is ex
pected that tho camp of the Uniform
Rank will be a popular resort during
their stay in Vancouver.

INVESTIGATE NOW
Portland, Jurf 26. During the
past week the headquarters have been
selected for the various Pythian or
ganisations which will assemble in
Portland between August 1 and 10,
and the fortunate hotel men are bus
ily planning ways and means for car
ing for the distinguished visitors who
will be their guests. 1
. The officers of the Supreme Lodge
of the order have been sent to the
Portland Hotel, Supreme Keeper of
Records and Seal Fred E. Wheaton
having made the decision after re
turning to his Minneapolis office. The
Portland is understood to have won
out because of its close proximity to
the Masonic Temple, where all ses
sions of the Supreme Lodge are to be
held.
Tho Hotel Imperial will quarter the
officers of the Grande Lodge of Ore
gon, which body will be in annual ses
sion at the same time that the Su
preme Lodge holds its convention.
Tha selection was made by Grand
Chancellor Willard Marks of Albany.
Manager George Ober of the Hotel
Portland has arranged to provide ade
quate committee rooms for the uses
of the Supreme Lodge and has'prom
ised that whenever meetings of any
sort are required the place to hold
them will be ready. Supreme Keeper
of Records and Seals Wheaton will
occupy Parlor C t the end of the
main hallway. The office of the Su
preme Chancellor will be close by.
The Portland arrangements com
mittee has undertaken to supply type
writers and stenographers for the
uses of committees r.t the Mlasonic
Temple, the parlor and reception
room being used for this purpose.
By action of the Boar d of Directors
of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce the general arrangements com
mittee y will be reimbursed for the
money expended in providing the
meeting places for the Supremo
Iodge and the Supreme Temple, Pyth
ian Sisters.
Frank :S. Grant and Gus C. Moser
returned yesterday from a visit to the
Grande Lodge of Idaho, to the mem
bers of which they bore an invitation
to attend the meeting in Portland in
August, and to extend a similar invi
tation to the members of subordinate
lodges of that domain.
"Idaho will be here in force," said
Mr. Grant. They understand that it
will be unlikely that men of the .pres
ent generation will again hSwe the
opportunity to fraternize with the
biggest and most brilliant men of the
order, and they do not intend to miss
it.
"Hundreds of people are interested
in the Columbia River Highway, and
other hundreds SDeak of the chance
J j to visit the beaches. Apparently they
i jare going to use their vacations to
make these trips. .
"The committee is receiving splen
did encouragement about attendance
from Oregon points and from Wash
ington. "It will be up to thetbusine.ss men
of Portland to see to it that the city
is properly decorated and put in
shape to extend a fraternal welcome
to the visitors. It should be planned
now and not put on until the last
minute.
