Club Plans Courtesy to
Visiting Lodgemen.
PROGRAMME TAKES SHAPE
Automobile. Horse I laces. "Ronnd-
Cp" and Masque Carnival Only
Part of Lavish Entertainment.
Delegates Begin to Come.
Every day will b ladles' day at the
Portland baseball park when the Elks
are here If Judge w. w. .Jicureaie.
owner of the Portland club and one of
the most enthusiastic Elks in this part
of the country, has his way aooui it.
The Judge has Informed the Elks'
convention commission that he Is eager
to admit all ladles wearing an tins
nffirtal badge every day of the reunion
period If he can secure the consent of
Al Bum, president of the Pacific Coast
Lanue. and of J. Cal Ewlng, owner
of the San Francisco team, which plays
here that week July 8 to 13. As Ewing
4s one of the prominent members of the
Ban Francisco lodge, his consent to
the arrangement Is considered a mat
- ter of course.
Now that the convention is drawing
near, numerous forms of entertainment
are being added to the programme.
The free admission of visiting women
in h baseball games is only one. It
1 nrobable that two days of automo
nil. racing at the Country Club
grounds will be staged while the Elks
ara here. Arrangements nave oeeu
romnleted for holding a "Roundup,"
similar to that at Pendelton last Fall,
on Multnomah Field every afternoon
and evening of Elk week excepting
Thursday, when the field will be used
by the Elks in the afternoon for their
eomnetltive drill contests and In the
avenlns- for their final prise band con
certs. While neither tho automoble
races nor the "Roundup" will become
a part of the free entertainment pro
vided by the Elks, each is likely to at
tract additional crowds to tne city.
Racial Matinee Arranged.
Complete arrangements already have
been made for a racing matinee at the
driving park on Saturday afternoon,
July 13. Saturday evening- will see
the close of the reunion. It will be
marked by a regular old-fashioned
inasaue carnival on the streets, punc
tuated with confetti and serpentine
showers and general good-natured sport
and frivolity.
Registration headquarters will b
onened In the new Oregon Hotel build
ing on Wednesday, July 3. All Portland
Elks are urged to register as soon
thereafter as possible. No member ot
the Portland lodge will be registered
after Saturday, July 6. In addition to
the registration booths this room also
will accommodate a branch validating
office for railroad tickets, a branch
DOBtofflce. telegraph and telephone of
flees, baggage offices and free infor
mation bureaus.
More than 100 information booths
will be established at .various places
In the business district. Large pur
Die and white cards reading "B. P. O.
Elks Free Information Bureau" will
Inform the visitors where they are lo
cated.
Fred C. Robinson, grand secretary,
probably will arrive in Portland on
July 1. He now is preparing his an
nual reports to the grand lodge and as
soon as he has it completed he will
prepare to start for Portland. Rooms in
the Multnomah Hotel now are being
prepared to accommodate him and his
office force.

is urged to have representation In the
big parade on Thursday, July 11. If
a lodge is represented by but two,
three or halt a dozen members those
members are expected to get In line
and share In the distinction of making
this parade the greatest in the his
tory of Elkdom.
Portland lodge will head the proces
sion by reason of Its position of host to
the grand lodge. It is expected that
fully 1000 Portland members will be In
line. Tacoma will probably have 7o0,
while Seattle and Spokane promise to
have 500 each. San Francisco will
bave 200 or more.
After Portland will come New York
lodge No. 1. The other lodges will take
position according to number, Phila

aril halt frequently to give the men
In line an opportunity of resting.

Candidates for grand lodge offices
ire becoming numerous.
Thomas B. Mills, of Superior, Wls,
grand trustee, probably will have no
opposition for the office of grand ex
alted ruler. Fred C Robinson, of Du
buque. Ia., will be a candidate to suc
ceed himself as grand secretary, but
will be opposed by David McArron. of
Port Huron, Mich. Judge George
Addlngton. of Albany, N. Y.. will be a
candidate for grand esteemed leading
knight. Charles P. Ward, of Pasadena,
Cal.. for grand esteemed loyal knight.
E. M. Dlckerman. of Tucson. Ariz., and
L. R. Maxwell, of Marshalltown, la,
for grand esteemed lecturing 'knight;
Edward Leach, of New Tork City, for
grand treasurer to succeed himself,
and L. P. Leveronl, ot Keene, N. H.. for
grand inner guard to succeed himself.
John J. Faulkner, of East St. Louis,
I'L. la out fur the office of grand trus
tee. Thus far no other candidate has
been announced. The grand lodge law
permits a man to serve but one term
as grand trustee. Mr. Mills, whe re
tires tbls year, was elected at Phila
delphia five years ago, receiving the
highest number of votes in a large field
of candidates, and now is chairman of
the board.

Pioneer
Week
OST Thursday Oregon's old
settlers gather for their 40th
annual reunion. This week all
Oregon pays tribute to these brave
pioneers who aided In the. "winning-
of the West."
The Oregon Historical Sooiety
has loaned us many interesting;
relics, on exhibit In our Fifth
street window. Old settlers will
also recall these Incidents:
The first weddlns; on the Pacific
Coast was June 16. 1837. The wed
ding parlor was the outspreading
branches of a fir tree.
The first printing; of any kind
done In the Oregon country was
on May 18, 1839.
The first brick house In Oregon
was build by George Gay In 1841.
The first Fourth of July Cele
bration on the Pacific Coast was
on July 5. 1841, and the first In
what is Oregon of today was at
Oregon City, In 1848.
The first floor mill In what la
now Oregon was built In 1847.
The first store of any kind In
Salem was In 1847, and the goods
were hauled acros the plains.
The Meier Prank Store was
established on Front street In 1867.
In 1849 flour was $14 a barrel In
Portland.
- In 18S0 there was great rivalry
for the commercial ascendency be
tween Portland and Mllwaukle,
with a fair prospect of Mllwaukle
taking- the lead.
The first steamer to arrive In
Portland was the Columbia, on
June 8, 1850.
The first daguerreotype gallery
In Portland was Opened on June
25. 1862.

TO SELL
Court Orders Sale of 29,000
Acres Near Irrigon.
DEBT- WILL BE SATISFIED
Property of Oregon Land & Water
Company Will Go Tnder Hammer
Satisfy Claim for $500,-
040 Held by R. S. Howard.
to
In a decree covering ITS closely
typewritten pages, which Federal
Judge Wolverton signed yesterday, he
gives to R. S. Howard authority to sell
all the property of the Oregon Land &
Water Company. The sale will be
made to satisfy a debt of about $500,-
000, whioh the company owes Howard
as receiver of the defunct Title Guar
antee & Trust Company.
The property to be sold amounts to
about 28,000 acresaand is near Irrigon,
In the region of the Umatilla Irrigation
project. It will probably be sold
within six or seven weeks and if there
are no bidders Receiver Howard will
buy it In for the debt. The court's
decree provides that notice of the sale
be advertised for six weeks. W. R.
Walpole, Jr., manager of the tract at
Irrigon, is named as the person by
whom the sale shall be conducted.
The decree clears the title to the
land and makes' sale possible.
One Deal Blocked.
"I had a buyer for the property
once," said Receiver Howerd yesterday,
"and had taken a deposit on the land,
but J. Thorburn Robs refused to 'sur
render his Interest without legal pro
ceedings, so it was necessary for me to
put the whole matter through the
court. - Mr. Ross came to me after
ward and offered his interest,- but it
was too late. .
"This corporation, the Oregon Land
& Water Company, was formed by Mr.
Ross to further his manipulations. The
debt of the corporation to the Title
Bank exceeds 1500,000. Ross had vir
tually all of the stock in his own
name and In the names of W. W. Reld
and the McCoys. Through them he
manipulated affairs. .
"Now the court has set all conten
tions aside and the property will be
offered for sale In a legal manner.
What It will bring I cannot say. It Is
under the West Umatilla Government
irrigating extension and If the Gov
emmen ever puts this project through
tho land should be in demand. It can
only come Into demand, however, when
we aeoure. the necessary amount of
water. There now 1b a ditch 10 miles
long, with laterals.
Bonds Sold to Ministers.
"The Title Bank held $:!69,50O in
bonds of the Oregon Land & Water
Company. ' Twenty-three thousand
five hundred dollars' worth of the
bonds are outstanding In the Bast.
Rosa sold them, for the most part, to
aged, retired ministers. One of these
ministers, 80 years old, died soon after
the bank failed."
Ross' various manipulations are set
out In the voluminous decree.
The defendants in the case, besides
the Oregon Land & Water Company,
were Bailey Ditch Company, Columbia
Land & Irrigation Company, Bingham
Land & Water Company, Columbia
Desert Land 4V ' Irrigation Company,
Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany, Northern Pacific Railway Com
pany, I. H. Bingham, F. B. Holbrook,
J. Thorburn. Roes, A. A. Lindsley and
John W. Cook. Some of these
eexe-l-w:
named as defendants because they held I returning the cash. ' He was arrested
riahta of way and pieces of land In the fin Siskiyou County, California, follow-
tract and it was necessary to determine
where the title rested.
UHLMAN JURY RETIRES
Ca&e Involving $SOOO Is Expected
to Cause Disagreement.
A jury which heard In Judge Phelps'
special department of the Circuit Court
the evidence for and against T. J. Uhl
man, charged with the larceny by
bailee of $3000 belonging to the owners
of the Weinhard brewery, retired for
deliberation at 2:40 o'clock yesterday.
A disagreement is expected. Deputy
District Attorney Dennlson was assist
ed by Isaac D. Hunt, who waa em
ployed by Paul Wesslngsr, of tha
brewing company.
The defendant's attorneys, E. Men-
denhall and Sam White, contended
throughout the trial that the difficulty
should have been settled by civil suit
between Uhlman and the brewery peo
ple. The evidence showed that on July
16, 1911, the defendant, who bad a sud.
lease on the Hoyt Hotel from the
Henry Weinhard Brewery, secured an
advance of $3000 from the brewery to
cash checks, and that he left the state
ithout furnishing an accounting or
; 1
lng the return of an indictment and
the Issuance of a bench warrant.
Uhlman said on the stand that he
received no consideration for a power
of attorney over -his saloon license,
which he executed to Emll Glutnch, a
representative of the Henry Weinhard
Brewery; that he bad purchased 19000
worth of furniture on the Installment
plan for the Hoyt Hotel, and that Paul
Wesslnger ordered him out of the place
on the day that he had perfected ar
rangements to sell his Interest for $10,
000. Wesslnger testified that Uhlman was
heavily In debt to the brewery and that
he was allowed $1200 on his account as
consideration for executing the power
of attorney. He said that Uhlman had
been put In tp run the hotel with a
guarantee that the brewing company
would meet his obligations. If reces-s
sary, and that the defendant wa,
therefore, virtually an employe, his
lease on the hotel being from month
to month.
