TJ313 : MOBNIN'6" bREG'O'glAN; SATUfiDLT, APBlCW,"" 1901: TREATED TO SALMON "FISITUfa SHRIKERS TASTE ROYAL CHINOOK. THE Caravan From Honolulu Partake of JPortland Hospitality and Enjoys a. Short Stay Here. The anxiously awaited caravan of Mys tic Shrlners, on their way home from a pilgrimage to Honolulu, rolled Into the Union Depot In a train of six magnificent Pullman cars at 9:15 o'clock yesterday morning, accompanied, by the committee sent out by Al Kader Temple, of this city, to meet them at Ashland, consisting of George H. Hill, H. L. Plttock, Henry Hoe, Ben Lombard, Thomas McCusker, Dr. George H. Chance. J. C. Moreland and H. Beckwith. The pilgrims were jiot al lowed to flight at the depot, but their train -was run up Fourth street to Morri son, where a large number of their breth ren of Al Kader Temple were on hand to receive and welcome them and escort them to the Portland Hotel, where an ele gant breakfast had been prepared for them, and to which they were prepared to do full justice. On arriving at the hotel they found in the parlors a lavish supply of roses, carna tions, lilies, -tulips and other flowers pro-, vided, which were distributed among the ladies, the men being furnished with car nations for boutonnleres. Introductions, handshaking and congratulations were In order ior a "few minutes, but all were hungry, and no reluctance was displayed when it was proposed to adjourn to the dining-room- The principal feature of the ropast was a handsome 60-pound chlnook salmon, which was brought Into the dining-room on a huge salver carried by four colored waiters, preceded by a plump head waiter armed with a huge scimitar, who marched around the tables to give all an opportunity to view the magnificent fish. As the salmon-fishing season has not yet opened, and Manager Bowers has relig ious scruples against violating the fish and game laws, being fully advised as to the penalty, he had declined to provide a salmon for the breakfast, but the Port land Shrlners were determined that their visiting brethren should sample the Toyal chlnook of the Columbia, the pride of Ore gon and the nsh par excellence of all fishes. How this was accomplished was explained preparatory to the fish being served by Potentate I. W. Pratt, of Al Kader, as follows: Toadies and Gentlemen, Potentates and No bios' I take pleasure In presenting to j ou this Roal Chinook. The flsh Is, as you well know, out of the season until the J 5th of this month However, "not wishing to hae you visit our state -without hatinc had the opportunity to sample one of our chief products, -we have se cured for you this specimen He was caught near the mouth of the "Willamette by an old descendant of Chief Concomly. of the Chinook tribe, confiscated by Fish and Game Warden Qulmby and sold to Temple Al-Kader. When captured, the name Al - Kader was found stamped upon Its side, and I hope you will ap preciate our successful effort to secure this flsh. Potentate Xiou B. Windsor was about to respond in his usual witty style, but hun ger was heavy on him, and a glance over hlR fellow-travelers showed him that this was no time for persiflage, so he merely returned thanks and remarked that the salmon was a fine, large flsh, and-hls as sociates would be pleased to put It where it would do the most good In the shortest possible space of time. His brevity was applauded, and all fell to with good will and keen appetites. Breakfast being over, the company ad journed to the parlors and enjoyed them selves for a time forming and renewing acquaintances. There were about 175 In the party of visitors, including over 50 women and a mascot In the person of a grandson of Dr. J. B. Barnett, and they TQpresented 39 different states, and many of them were prominent business men. They found many -friends and business ac quaintances among the Portland people, and a very pleasant time was passed. Owing to -the brief time at the disposal of the visitors, no programme of exer cises had been prepared. Hon. W. D. Fenton delivered a short and felicitous address of welcome, to which Imperial Potentate Windsor made a fitting response, and Hon. M. C. George followed with a few Temarks addressed principally to the women, which were well received. Carriages were In waiting, and as soon as the speaking was over the guests set out to enjoy themselves and see the town, accompanied by their friends. Some took carriages and rode around, some patron ized the electric car lines and went to Portland Heights or Willamette Heights, some climbed The Oregonlan tower, and some strolled about the streets. They were easily distinguished by their fez and badge, and every one treated them as old friends. The women Interested them selves In many things. A large saloon sign having a dozen or more Cupids sky larking around attracted a crowd of them; a chocolate-colored Infant, dressed in a fez, with eyes. In a fine frenzy rolling, and labeled "My Honolulu baby," pleased them Immensely, and s. steam wood saw delight-, ed a Kansas City woman, who had not seen one hefore, and she arranged for having plans and specifications for one sent to her. The men made themselves sociable, fraternized with everybody, and noticed the old shacks on some prominent streets on which more in the way of im provements was being spent than the buildings were worth, and wondered that this was allowed. At 1 P. M. the pilgrims began gatherings at the Union Depot They were ail In the best of humor, and expressed themselves as highly gratified with the warmth and geniality of their reception and much pleased with the city and the views they had from the heights. The only regret was that the clouds had not allowed them to see Mount Hood and the other snow peaks. Several members of the caravan said that their pilgrimage had been a perfect pleasure trip all the way. They had been accorded enthusiastic receptions every where. They were sorry that they had not planned a shorter stay at the Ha waiian Islands and taken more time to visit some of the Western cities. They said the islands were booming, and the sugar business looking up. Their acquisition was a good thing for the Untied States, and the Kanakas were be ginning to realize that it was a good thing for them. They were In a major ity In both Houses of Parliament, and were Inclined to run things their own way. but this would be remedied. They had been allowed to have everything their own way so far, but by the next election they would be made better acquainted with the American style of politics and elections, and they would be inducted Into the cus toms of the higher civilization. It was remarked hy several that the party had received more general notice and attention here than in any other place they had visited. Usually a reception committee met their committee, and the welcoming and jollification was mostly confined to the committees, while here the committee had fraternized with the entire party, and everybody had been made ac quainted with everybody, and all had had a good time. Many Tegretted that they could not stay longer here. The women were delighted with the flowers presented to them. Several of the party who had come ahead had visited Vancou ver and Mount Tabor and had seen the snow mountains, and their tales of what they had seen made the others envy them. While the party were sightseeing, their effects were transferred to a train of six Great Northern sleeping-cars, and the long banners, bearing mottoes in Arabic and everything else but Chinook, had been attached to their sides. Ten boxes of se lected Hood River apples, raised near the snow line, and a number of dainty little boxes of Oregon prunes for the women, had been placed in the party commissary by the Shrlners here, and "200 copies of the Beautiful souvenir published by the O. R. Iff Ho ,nK,lnlnr m,,ef ? I 1 v. VtVYvV. o -"" "" most beautiful bits of Oregon scenery, had J "been provided for distribution among the pilgrims. While the party were strolling on the platform, a rather touching Incident oc curred. Colonel J, C. Herkimer, who served through the Civil War as a Cap tain, recognized In a crowd James M. Eg gleston, of this city, as a. member of his company. The men embraced each other like two Frenchmen, and exhibited the most lively pleasure at the chance meet ing after a separation of so many years. Some one found a genuine camel In a stable near th'e depot a regular ship of the desert and a young son of Dr. Palln, of Grand Haplds, was placed on his back and about 30 pilgrims gathered around the camel and had their pictures taken. Just before the train started the party gathered at the end of the platform and was photographed by McAlpIn. Finally the hour of leaving 2:45 P. M. arrived, and amid waving of 'hands and handkerchiefs and general good-byes the train rolled out, just as the sun had rolled away the clouds and Mount Hood came forth In all his glory to see them off. The caravan started from Chicago February 25, and, notwithstanding the pleasures of the pilgrimage, most of the pilgrims are becoming slightly weary and look for ward with pleasure to reaching Chicago on the 17th. Return Over the Great Northern. 4 The Shrlners were scheduled to leave Seattle at 1 o'clock this morning over the Great Northern. They will have a train of 11 cars, their own baggage-car and commissary car, and nine cars of the Great Northern equipment, namely, six sleepers two -diners and a library observ atory car. They will reach Spokane at noon tomorrow and remain there until 4 P. M. They will then make the run from Spokane to Fargo, N. D.,1230 miles,, with out a stop, except for coal and water. The train will be under the personal charge of C. E. Stone, assistant general passenger agent, who will take hold at Seattle and remain with the caravan until they reach St Paul. The Great Northern has prepared a special dining-car menu, richly Illustrated with scenes emblemati cal of the Order of the Mystic Shrine. These will serve as pleasant souvenirs of the return journey across the continent over a very popular line. RECEPTION TO M'KINLEY. General Features Adopted by Ex-, ccutlve Committee. Three features of President McKlnley's reception In Portland were practically de cided upon at yesterday's meeting of the executive committee, Mayor Rowe pre siding. These are: May 22, afternoon Parade from the Union Central Station to the Portland Hotel, with reviews by the President In front of the hotel, and by the school children at the park blocks, conclud ing with a drive about the city. Evening Public reception. May 23 Leave at 7:30 A. M., by boat for Kalama, Wash., via "Vancouver and the mouth of the Willamette. At Kalama the Presidential party will find a Northern Pacific train waiting to take them to Pu get Sound. The foregoing programme Is subject to change. It may be that President Mc Klnley will not feel like arising at 6 A. M., for a river ride to Kalama, after a reception In Portland the previous day. More definite arrangements will be made by the sub-committee on programme, which will meet at the Commercial Club tomorrow morning. This committee con sists of H. C. Breeden, General C. F. Beebe, Henry Hahn, John H. Hall and A. B. Stelnbach. In the meantime an ef fort will be made to Induce the Presi dent to prolong his stay In Oregon. Eleven of the fifteen members of the executive committee attended yesterday's meeting at the Commercial Club. George Taylor, Jr., sent word that he would be out of the "city, and would be unable to serve. Mayor Rowe will make an ap pointment to fill the vacancy. H. C. Breeden was elected treasurer and E. C. Masten assistant secretary. In reply to Henry Hahn'o Inquiry whether the President could 'not be In duced to make a longer stay In Portland, John H. Hall said the matter had been laid before Secretary Cortelyou by Sena tor Fulton of the Legislative committee, and a reply had been received that the Itinerary could not be changed. It was subsequently decided to make another ef fort with the President, and a telegram was sent last night to Blnger Hermann, H. H. Gllfrey, ex-Senator McBrlde and other Oregon men In Washington, asking them to take action. Mr. Hall said that Mr. McBrlde Is very close to the Presi dent. "Senator Mitchell being 111," said Mr. Hall, "Mr. McBrlde is our next best man." When the discussion on plans of enter taining President McKlnley was opened, H. M. Cake spoke strongly for a visit to the mouth of the Columbia. He said the trip would show the President what a great highway the river Is, and the im portance of Improving It for the benefit of the constantly growing commerce of the region tributary to Portland. A. B. Ham mond, president of the Astoria &. Colum bia River Railroad, would make arrange ments, Mr. Cake said, and the Presiden tial party would be just as comfortable in a night ride down the Columbia as If they remained In Portland. The ride on the jetty, he added, would be novel and interesting. Henry Hahn and others agreed that the river trip would be a fine thing, but the general opinion was that It would dis commode the party, Mr. Hahn said that the wish of Secretary Root to see Van couver should nod be Ignored. Mr. Bree den was for giving the President the best that Portland is able to afford. This could be accomplished, he thought, by a trip to Vancouver. On the way to Kalama the President could see Port land's shipping and form a good Idea of the Importance of the Columbia. Mr. Breeden was specially anxious that the school children should have a good op portunity to see the President. He said they should be congregated on the park blocks to give them an unobstructed view. A. B. Stelnbach. E. H. Kilham nnrf Messrs. Hall and Cake advanced, a num ber of Ideas for entertainment. Incorpor ating all but one of the suggestions, Mr. Cake moved that there be a parade from the Union Station to the Hotel Portland, review in front of the hotel by. the Pres ident review at the Park blocks by the school children, a drive about the city, a reception i nthe evening, and aMver trip the next morning to Kalama by way of Vancouver. Mr. Hall moved as an amendment that there be a banquet at the hotel in the evening. W. W. Cotton thought the 'banquet feature would keep -the President con stantly on the move, and would give him no chance for rest The result would be, he said, thatthe President would" be dis commoded, and he would go away if rom Portland very much fatigued ,and outT3f sorts. j t Mr. Hall's motion for a banquet1, was voted down, and Mr. Cake's plan of En tertainment accepted. The committee on programme was di rected to report to the executive commit tee Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. General Beebe said tba,t members 4of the Grand Army of the Republic are plan ning to make up a car to meet the Presi dent at the state line. They wish to have their car attached to the Presidential train for the return trlp o 'Porland. The request was referred? to" the Legislative committee. , All organizations wishing to take part In the parade in. Portland are requested to communicate with Sanderson "Reed, sec retary of the executive commitee,. whose office is In the Chamber of Commerce building.

Flynn was granted a divorce from Michael Flynn, on fthe grounds of cruel treatment and desertion, and was restored to her maiden name, Brown. The evidence of Mrs. Flynn was that her hus band, from 'the time of the marriage In this city In September, 18S8, until March, 1S89, when he abandoned her, continually used abusive and offensive , language to her, and since he left her she has been compelled to support herself by her own labor.

ClBfewoBieH Show How aa Ideal City Mar Be Made. , V 1 k TheljWoman's Club, at Its regular meet higCyesterday afternoon, discussed "What MakeTslan Ideal City? Portland's Needs." WJhen'one comes to the subject of mu nicipal improvement, It Is surprising how muchhalf a dozen members of a wom ansclub pan say In 10 minutes. Madame Bauerdvanced the Idea that Portland couldVj be made an Ideal Summer iesort. Only ji few hot days occur during the seasop, and for those we are within three hours of the coast. After dilating upon our.scqnlc splendors, forest reserves and other advantages, she broached the plan of building a palatial Summer hotel on Portland Heights and establishing bath houses, swimming schools and boathouses op 'either side of the Willamette. - Mrs. Peter H. Ward welcomed this Idea with .enthusiasm, saying that, as for our hot days, Easterners do not feel the heat herefaa thin-blooded Oregonlans do. Last Sunimep she said some Eastern friends Were -visiting her, and she found them outr'hv?the yard, sitting In the sun, on one .of. our warmest days, complallng that they were nearly frozen. Mrs. Stears then read a letter bearing onthlsrtop!c from Mrs. E. W. Bingham, wholsJnow In California. She earestly advised in view of the fact that Port lad was to have a great exposition in 1905, that the members of the Woman's. Club .should Inaugurate a movement to pave ' and otherwise Improve the streets ot .the- city, which at present are a dis grace to al! self-respecting citizens. Dr. Mary Thompson We have the finest scenery; in the world, the purest water, and jo: "club of 200 women. What cannot be accomplished with such a combina tion? 1 Mrs. A. S. Dunlway As clubwomen we are today dealing with great topics that a few. years ago would have scared the life out of us. We have become parlia mentarians. But now let ua bend our efforts ttoward matters of practical util ity. Jtls true that the. virgin resources ot Oregon are unrivaled) and I sincerely hbpe some steps will be taken to put this great movement on Its feet, of transform ing Portland Into an Ideal Summer re sort. JLt nis have a committee of sensi ble," earnest, conscientious taxpaylng women,- such as will command the re sje"ct of our business men, to take prelim lnary steps for making1 Portland a model Summer resort. This will do more than anything I know of to awaken the sterner sex from their Rip Van Winkle slumber. Previous to this discussion, which oc cupied the closing 10 minutes of the pro gramme, the club was entertained for nearly two hours by Miss Mabel Lankton Carter, dean of oratory at the Willamette University. Miss Carter recited In delight ful fashion the quaint village Idyl "Tim othy's Quest," a poem by Robert Brown ing; -two stories by Richard Harding Davis, and Tennyson's "Mermaid." FOR RIVER IMPROVEMENT. f Data to Be Laid Before niver and Harbor Coinniittee. The1 urgent necessity of action being ,taken by the commercial bodies of the 'inland; Empire to secure recognition at the hapds of the river and harbor' com mittee of Congress, which vlelt this Coast In June, was brought to the attention of the "Chamber of Commerce yesterday by the receipt of a letter from a special com mittee appointed by the Commercial Club 6f Iewlston, Idaho. The. committee was appointed for the purpose of enlisting the support of commercial "bodies of other cities in preparing data to be presented t othe committee, setting forth as vividly and yet as briefly as possible the Im mense good to be derived from the open ing! of 'rivers In the district, ana particu larly' by Improvements of the Columbia and Snake Rivers. -.TJie, letter states that it Is the committee's- desire to secure the co-operation of, the commercial bodies, of Portland, Spokane, Walla Walla, North Yakima, "Colfax, Pendleton, Astoria.
