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.

STIRRING UP PORTLAND.
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.
