Klamath Falls threw open her doors to entertain her guests and every contin gency had been planned to make the greatest day In the history of the city a success. Parade Typifies Past and Present. At sunrise blowing of whistles and .' booming of guns ushered In the day. Just before the parade, F. T. Sanderson, Mayor, and Judge Griffith, in short ad dresses, welcome the visitors and in formed them they were entitled to the freedom of the city. The parade was a spectacle unique in the history of the state. All types in the 1 mp.rch of civilization were represented. Typical of the "Wild West" days came cowboys, stage coaches and . freight wagons, with Indians from the Klamath Reservation, to represent the past. Mod ern times were typified by automobiles, liandsome horses hitched to fashionable turnouts and a streetcar. Prominent men Kraong the visitors were in line, as were the men most widely known throughout this section of the state. A feature that appealed in its peculiar ity was the barbecue, when two of the finest steers that could be obtained were , roasted whole and served to the crowd by the women of Klamath, who assisted ; tno Chamber of v-ommerce. Two mon ( strous coffee urns held the beverage, and the guests ate and drank till they could hold no more. Lakevlew Helps Celebrate. All through the day sports of varl . ous natures were on the card.

A party of business men came from Lakeview to make arrange ments to have all their freight shipped by way of Klamath Falls. Work on an automobile road between the two towns Is under way, and will be pushed as fast as possible. Where the 100 miles separating them had formerly to be traversed with the greatest difficulty and at certain seasons of the year not at all, a hard, smooth highway will re place the old stage roads. Ranchers and stockmen realize the Importance of the railroad. In the parade were freight wagons loaded with wool, typifying one of the indus tries that will thrive m this part of the state.

Colt, Edward Ehrman and William MacMaster, at a meeting held at the Commercial Club last night, concluded it would be imperative to dispense with all social formalities on that day.

The action of the committee abandons the services of the 18 hostesses selected several weeks ago to dispense hospitalities on Portland day. The committee is working hard to make the occassion a success, for that body estimates at least 5000 Portlanders will visit the Exposition then.

BROWN SLAVES BANISHED With Fogged Naturalization Papers, Japanese Conducted Marriage Bureau With Success, Taking Wives to British Columbia. VICTORIA, B. C, June 14. (Special.) It may very safely be concluded that S. Hirata, deported to "the land from whenec he came" by the steamship Monteagle, now en route for Yokohama, has all records for wholesale adventures In matrimony as a professional honey mooner secure against competition or challenge. Indeed, his enterprise a marrying man proved too much for the Canadian government to contemplate with equan imity, and hence his loss to this country. It Is announced that Hirata has been married some 14 times during the past two years, by far the greater portion of that period being devoted to honeymoon voyages from Yokohama to this port and returns without wifely companionship. Jurt at present the programme is a trifle varied, both Mr. Hirata and Mrs. Hirata No. 14 being westbound voyagers to the East, the former fleeing from prosecution as tho ringleader of a syndi cate In Interior British Columbia who have been importing Japanese women illegally for Immoral purposes. Hirata and his present consort arrived as passengers on the Aki Maru about the end of May. when Hirata produced naturalization papers which rfirported that he was naturalized as a Canadian 23 years , ago, his papers being renewed under date of February of last year. It was known that Hirata at that time was In Japan and further Information brought to light evidence that the papers were forged and that with them Hirata had been appearing periodically before the British Consul at Yokohama and other Japanese ports and marrying 'wives, who were landed as Canadian women un der the authority of the alleged natural ization papers, the wives being promptly sent to upper British Columbia, while Hirata returned to bring out others.
