Leading Members of the
Order in the State.
The palatial Elks' Temple was dedi
cated last night. The occasion was the
crowning event in 17 years of remark
able achievement. It gave to Portland
Elks the most imposing, most magnifi
cent and best appointed lodge and club
rooms of any similar lodge in the "West,
if not in the entire United States.
Every Elk in town was on hand, and
scores came from various points of the
state, and there was a hundred or more
guests not of the brotherhood prominent
city, county and state officials. These
were admitted freely to the ritualistic
ceremonies as well as to the dedication
services and entertainment programme.
Simple, but Impressive.
Simple but most impressive were the
ceremonies attendant upon the formal
dedication of the temple The ceremonies
were conducted by officers of the Grand
Lodge. Promptly at S o'clock Elks and
visitors formed in procession in the club
rooms and filed slowly to the sanctuary
above. The spacious lodgeroom was com
pletely filled when all had been seated.
Exalted Ruler C. E. McDonnell rapped for
order.
There were several minutes of silence
and then a loud knock at the door an
nounced the arrival of the Grand Lodge
representatives, who marched to their
stations amid lively applause. Grand Ex
alted Ruler Charles V. Brown then took
charge of the ceremonies. Grand Chaplain
Frank C. Baker asked divine blessing of
the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Universe.
Setting Up of Altar.
Then came the ritual of setting up the
altar a pyramid of four large stones,
representing charity, justice, brotherly
love and fidelity, the basic principles of
the ordci.
The first stone, that representing
charity, emblematical of duty to fellow
men, was brought forward by Grand
Esteemed Loyal Knight George C.
Blakcly, of The Dalles. The choir sang
an anthem as the stone was solmenly
et in Its place. The brown stone of
justice, offered in the name of fraternal
justice, was next brought forward by
Grand Esteemed Lcadhjg Knight E. B.
McDanlels, of Baker City. Grand Es
teemed Lecturing Knight W. H. Byrd, of
Salem, brought forward the emblem of
brotherly love, symbolical of the motto
"Do Unto Others as You Would Have
Them Do Unto You." The stone of
fidelity was put in place by Grand Esquire
E A. Beard, of Baker City.
Exhibition of Patriotism.
Then came a stirring exhibition of pa
triotism and devotion to flag and country.
The grand exalted ruler directed that the
paqred pyramid . be surmounted by the
Stars and Stripes, and as the glorious em
blem of liberty was 'broughtvforward, the
big assemblage arose reverently as one
man. "When the familiar red, white and
blue flag was raised to Its place a tumult
of applause and cheering broke forth.
The assemblage very appropriately re
mained standing while the choir saug the
"Star Spangled Banner.
Above the flag was placed the Bible,
the choir singing "Nearer. My God, to
Thee." Above all the emblem of the
order was put in place to the singing of
"Auld Lang Syne." Next came the sing
ing of the opening ode, "America," in
which all present Joined. The keys of the
lodge, two large gold and silver orna
ments. were turned over by Grand Ex
alted Ruler Brown to Trustee William IL
Upson and the building was declared dedl
rated to the uses and purposes of the
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
In the name of charity, justice, brotherly
love and fidelity.
Governor Chamberlain delivered the ora
is
tion of the evening. He was greeted by
continued applause, which he rofuoed to
accept as bestowed upon himself, but
rather as a mark of loyalty to the state
on the part of those present. Governor
Chamberlain spoke briefly, giving it as
his belief that the occasion was one in
tended for getting acquainted and not for
long speeches. He paid a fine tribute to
the members of the building, furnishing
and house committees who have devoted
so much of their time and energy in per
fecting the temple. He closed his re
marks with a general invitation to guests
of the evening to become affiliated with
the lodge at as early a date as possible.
The singing of "Home, Sweet Home"
brought the dedicatory ceremonies to a
close.
Following an Interlude by the Elks or
chestra the programme of entertainment
was announced. George L. Hutchin was
in charge of this part of the exercises.
The .first number was a contralto solo
by Mrs. Max M. Shillock, who sang "My
Ain Folks" with pleasing effect. She was
received with Hboral applause and an en
core was insisted upon. The quartet,
composed of. Mrs. Perkins, Miss Shea
and Messrs. Goodwyn. and Monteith, .sang
two numbers effectively. Mrs. Rose
Bloch-Bauor won thunders of applause
with her solo "Nocturne." Dom J. Zan

number was the duo "New Life," by Mrs.
Shillock and Mrs. Bloch-Bauer.

THE largest card party of the year
was held last evening In the Scot
tish Rite Cathedral, and it proved
to be as well a social and financial suc
cess for the ladles of the Patton Home
Association, under whose auspices it was
given. About SW persons enjoyed their
favorite same of cards whist, bridge and
five hundred. To scat this numerous
company, and to serve refreshments
without accident where ovcry available
square foot of space was occupied, called
for a goodly exercise of executive man
agement, and the ladles in charge of
the affair, under the able lead of Mrs
Theodorc Nicola, deserve unstinted
praise for the smoothness with which
everything was carried out.
The ladies who formed a receiving line
to greet guests as thoy came In were:
Mrs. Theodore Nlcolai. Mrs. A. H. Wll

Povey. Mrs. George W. HoyL. Mrs. Alice
Shannon, Mrs. II. W. Goddard, Mrs. L.
G. Clarke. Mrs. J. L. Rurascy and Mrs.
Robert Lutkc. Each of these ladies had
charge of a section of the big hall and
had arranged the tables In advance with
the names of players thereon. This sys
tem proved very satisfactory. Five hun
dred was the most popular game, there
being about four tables for this game to
one for whist. Only three tables for
bridge were formed, these being by Mrs.
Laldlaw. Mrs. Clarence Scwell and Mrs.
Frank Freeman.

crowded into a few short years. In" fact.
17 years has witnessed the evolution of a
band of 40 Elks without a definite homo
or funds into one of the powerful lodges
of the West. There are 10CO members on
the roster today, and applications for
membership arc handed to the secretary
dally. The roster Includes hundreds of
representative and Influential citizens,
united in furtherance of the cause of char
ity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity.
The organization of the lodge dates back
to 1SSS. On the afternoon of November 3
of that year about SO prospective Elks got
together In Turner Hall. With them was
W. C Turner, organizer sent up by the
San Francisco. lodge. Not until night
was the membership rolls, opened. Most
of those who signed were of the theat
rical profession. During the first part of
its career the lodge was not rceclvcd with
the serious respect Jt Is now accorded on
every hand.
At the first election of officers George
River was chosen exalted ruler; Ward S.
Stevens, esteemed leading knight; Dr. C.
W. Cornelius, esteemed lecturing knight;
Charles Sliter. esteemed loyal knight;
Louis Dammasch. secretary: C. B. Farle
man. treasurer: Elmer Quimby, tyler.
Within a couple of weeks quarters were
secured In the Knights of Pythias Hall,
and here the infant lodge spent its first
year, attaining a membership of 203 dur
ing this period. Another six months and
more suitable quarters In the Red Men's
Hall were secured, and here the lodge
spent the next four years. From here
the lodged moved to the Marquam build
ing, obtaining the use of the entire top
floor. The membership at this time was
4E0. and the lodge was now established on
a firm footing, with fine prospects for the
future. It was not long before the Idea,
of a great new Elks' temple presented
itself. The principal obstacle to be over
come was a lack of sufficient funds for
purchasing a site and constructing the
building.
The first notable enterprise for railing
funds was the street carnival of 1SSS.
The festivities extended over 14 days, and
w-rc a tremendous succcs3. both as an
amusement feature and from a financial
standpoint. Something like 2,0 was
raised on this occasion. Two years later
the club took a similar enterprise off the
hands of the Multnomah Club, which
had Inaugurated It, and again realized a
good profit.
Six years ago the building site was
bought for about J3,0:0. A j'car ago
plarv for the Elks' temple were an

Mrs. W. VL Prudhommc, Mrs. La Rowe,
Mrs. J. W. Sutton, Mrs. R. P. Graham,
Mrs. A. R. Draper, one table each.
Many handsome gowns were seen, those
of the receiving ladies being perhaps the
most noteworthy. These were as fol
lows: Mrs. Nlcolai. light gray silk, with
very handsome silk embroidery to match
and lavender chiffon scarf; Mrs. Wlelctt.
black chiffon, with white lace insets;
Mrs. Wesley Ladd. couvrc-rouge silk,
with white lace: Mrs. Laldlaw. cream
lace; Mrs. Ncppach, black silk and lace;
Mrs. Rand, white, with trimmings of blue
silk and handsome rope of pearls; Mrs.
O'Brien, tan crepc.
Owing to the largo number of score
cards to be counted it was found impos
sible to announce tho prize-winners last
evening, but;these will bo given out In
a day or two In tho columns of The Orc
gonlan. Six prizes were provided. Those
for gentlemen wero water-color paintings
done by Mrs. ArH. Willetts, the subjects

commenced without delay.
Weeks and months of patient care and
study have been put into the disposition
of clubrooms and furnishings. The re
sult has surpassed even the most san
guine expectations. Without any dis
pute, the temple is the finest of any on
the Coast. There are many who say It
is the finest Elks lodge In America, and
lils has not yet been disputed, except
that a visiting Elk from Grand Rapids.

ple at that point is quite the e-tual- of

LIVESTOCK 3IEX DECLARE FOR
FEDERAL CONTROL.
Convention Approves ISoosevclt's
Forestry Policy and Alsb
Urges Reciprocity.
DENVER, Feb. L Railroad legislation
was the first subject discussed at today's
session of the American National Live
stock Association's Convention. S. H.
Cowan, of Fort Worth, Tex., made the
principal address.
Mr. Cowan's topic was "Regulation of
Railway Rates and Charges." In opening
he said:
We are starting to build up in this
country a great feudal system, the like of
which has never been seen by the power
of wealth." He said he was not opposed
to wealth, but it was necessary to control
Its power. Referring to the Hepburn bill.
he said:
"If the railroads can defeat this meas
ure, that will be the darkest day of their
lives, because it means a power which
must not exist. This does not mean we
will not give them Justice. That they
shall have."
After Mr. Cowan closed. President Mac
kenzie announced that the report of fric
tion between the sheepmen and cattle
men was untrue. The National Wool
growers wished to retain their organiza
tion, but ther were heartily In accord
with the cattle men and there was abso
lutely no friction.
Edward T. Tildcn, of the National
Packing Company, was introduced and
made a short talk.
J. M. Boardman. of Helena. Mont., was
unanimously elected second vice-president
of tho organization.
The executive committee, to which has
been assigned the work of .drafting reso
lutions, reported resolutions Indorsing
the Hepburn rate bill now under discus
sion In the. House of Representatives and
urging Representatives and Senators to
support this measure, "to the end that
the duty which the Government owes to
its citizens to protect them against un
just, unreasonable or discriminatory
rates, regulations and practices of the
great railroads of this country will be
performed by a competent and expert
body of men. without leaving it to the
hopeless task of litigation."
The resolutions "further commend and
indorse the President ot the United States
in his untiring efforts in behalf of the
people, to secure such legislation."
The resolutions were adopted.
Other resolutions reported by the Ex
ecutive Committee and adopted demand
an extension of the time In which cattle
may be held In cars in transit without
unloading from 2S to 36 hours and thank
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson for ad
vocating such an extension; denounce ex
cessive commission charges at Missouri
River and other points; favor reciprocity
in accordance with section four of tho
Dinglcy Act: oppose the pure food bill
now before Congress In Its present form;
pledge support to agricultural colleges;
request a liberal appropriation for tho
Bureau of Animal Industry; commend the
general course of President Roosevelt and
rcpucst Congress to unhold him.
Frank J. Hagenbarth, of Salt Lake, in

Chinese Boycott Causes Fear of .Re
newed Boxer Outbreak'. -
VICTORIA, B. C, Feb. 1. Advices re
ceived by the Empress of China yester
day tell of fears of an anti-foreign rising
in China. A Pekln dispatch says wide
spread feeling in Chekiang cannot longer
be ignored and the foreign consuls at
Shanghai are afraid of growing ant!
foreign tendencies. "
Applications for the 'suppression of the
rioters are twlng raadeby the Pekln
legations, but the Chinese authorities
appear indifferent and have taken no
steps other than to issue a formal notice
to the Provincial Governors to quell the
rising. A rising In the Yangtso valley is
also feared.
Meanwhile the Chinese officials are ap
proaching the foreign ministers, with re
gard to the evacuation of China by for
eign troops. The Chinese army, they say,
has been greatly Improved and can fully
cope with any rising. '
Japan is firmly objecting to evacuation.

Idea tho only way to overthrow the pres
ent dynasty Is to start another such anti
forelgn disturbance as that of 1S0O, be
lieving the foreign countries would then
depose the present rulers. The writer be
lieves all anti-foreign feeling has the
hearty sympathy of those in .official posi
tions. The boycott la not altogether an anti
American movement, it is thoroughly
anti-foreign.
