"With the inauguration of service
over the Oregon Electric Railway to
day. Albany, already well named the
Hub City,' haa a most Important spoke
added to the 'Hub,'" said Joseph H.
Toung. president of the Oregon Elec
tric and the Hill line In Oregon, on
bis arrival In Albany today. "The
opening of the Oregon Electric," he
continued, "is the forerunner for a net
work of electric lines radiating to and
building up the city and its rich sur
rounding country.
The completion of the.Jline from Sa
lem to Albany, thus giving direct serv
ice between Portland and your city,
means a great deal for Albany and
Linn County. The story of high-class
electric . railway transportation the
country over is not only that of fast
and frequent service for persons and
products, but Is the more vital story
of intensive development of the coun
tryside tributary to cities and villages.
"Oregon's total population of about

greater proportion living In the cities

Rags, Gunnysacks and Papers Used
by Men and Women to "Save"
- Waxed Tennis Court.
Mops, rags, gunnysacks and newspa
pers were brought into play last night
by Irvlngton Club men and women
when a five minutes' rain ruined th
waxed surface of the club tennis court
and threatened to spoil the big neigh
borhood dance that was to be held on it.
The Irvlngton people had Judiciously
rubbed 25 pounds of wax on the cement
court, bought 1000 Ice cream cones and
arranged for the entertainment of the
entire neighborhood, when the unex
pected downpour reduced their ballroom
floor to a puddle. Without regard to
clothes or station in life the club peo
pie rolled up their sleeves and by use
of plebeian house-cleaning Implements
soon put the court into condition again.
Some of those who wielded the mop
for the cultivation of the terpslchorean
art were County Clerk Fields, O. M.
Plummer. John L. Bowman. Eugene
Billings, H. P. Palmer, J. E. Caldwell
and John F. Bell. They had the floor
all fixed again before many hours had
elapsed, but everyone who had labored
declared perspiringly that if Jupiter
Pluvlug again turned on his sprinkle
they woujd hold the dance in the club
ballroom. W. F. Woodward, president
of the club, raked up 25 pounds more
wax to replace that which had been

Pasadena Man Announces Candidacy
for Grand Esteemed Loyal Knight
Place for Which Others
Also Are Seeking.
Two of the Elks' grand lodge com
mittees are now in session in Portland
and the grand lodge officers, delayed
35 hours by storms in Montana, are
speeding to the city on a special train
and will arrive here about 6:30 this
evening.
The Judiciary committee, which be
gan its sessions on Wednesday, . con
tinued its business yesterday In hopes
of having this work completed in time
to present a full report Jto the grand
lodge next Wednesday morning.
The ritual committee began business
last night. Much Interest centers In the
proposed report of this committee. Fred
Harper, of Lynchburg, Va., chairman of
the ritual committee, said last night
that although the committee had only
begun Its work. It certainly would have
some Important recommendations to
make to the grand lodge. The full com
mittee is in attendance. The other
members are: Charles Beecher Lahan,
of Chicago, and John C. Futrall, Fay
ettevllle. Ark.
Sunflower State Arrives.
James L. King, of Topeka, Kan.,
grand esteemed lecturing knight, who
Is an ex-member of the ritual commit
tee, also arrived yesterday and went
into conference with this committee.
His past experience In the work made
his presence desirable and his advice
valuable. Mr. King is state librarian of
Kansas and has made a careful study
of ritualistic work for the Elks.
It is predicted that the report of the
ritual committee probably will cause
as much discussion as any other feature
of the entire convention. It is report
ed that there Is a demand on the part
of the smaller lodges for the restora
tion of the lodge "goat," which was
eliminated by the Atlantic City conven
tion.., Many of the larger lodges, how
ever, are content to allow this part of
the ritual to remain In its present form.
Another candidate for grand lodge
office entered the Held yesterday. He
Is W. H. WelBhar, past exalted ruler
of Goldfleld, Ne v., Lodge, No. 107!, and
he seeks the office of grand esteemed
loyal knight. He will have the sup
port of all the Elk lodges In Nevada
and will come to the convention next
week with 50 members of his home
lodge to exploit his candidacy.
Pasadena Maa Oat.
Charles H. Ward, of Pasadena, Cal.,
already has announced his candidacy
for this office. In fact, he has been
in the Held for the last three or four
months and has almost the solid Cali
fornia delegation behind him. He has
the support of numerous Eastern lodges
also.
E. M. Dickerman, of Tucson, Am.,
and L. R. Maxwell, of Marshalltown.
Ia.. are In the race for grand esteemed
lecturing knight, but Judge George
Addington, of Albany, N. Y., seems to
have no opposition for the grand es
teemed leading knight's position.
Raymond Benjamin, of Napa, Cal.,
who Is presiding over the sessions of
the Judiciary committee, formerly was
Grand Esquire , of the Elks and had
charge of the parade at Los Angelos
three years ago. He had 18,000 mea
In line at that time.
Mammoth Parade Expected.
I look for the Portland parade tto
be bigger than that at Los Angeles,"
he said last night. "The people are
anxious - to come to the Coast, and
we'll find that this convention will be
attended not only by all who were
present at Los Angeles, but by many
thousand others."
Mr. Benjamin is Chief Deputy Attor- '
ney-General of California and declares
that nearly every lodge In that staie
will be represented In the big parade.
Santa Monica lodge. whlqji already
had engaged 40 rooms, yesterday tele
graphed to headquarters for 20 addi

Much disappointment was expressed
last night over the enforced delay i.i
the arrival of the Grand Exalted Ruler
and his party. They are held by wash
out on the Milwaukee main line in
Montana. They are due to arrive In
Portland at 6:30 tonight. The Welcoma
Squad, the Administration Band, the

delegation of Portland Elks will go to
the depot to meet them.
Immediately upon their arrival, the
business of the Grand Lodge will be
taken up In earnest.
