windows most be ready this morn
ing. To the tune of "Everybody's Doing
It." played by the famous Coast ArtU-
lery band of San Francisco, the en-
tire convention mob. assembled at the
Multnomah Hotel . yesterday, 'was
turned Into a writhing, surging, dan
cing mass of humanity. Everyone In
i. the lobby, women as well as men.
' caught the air of the popular song
and began to "rag." It was no place,
for a man or woman with chronic dys
pepsia or for those fossilized beings
who stand on ceremony, dignity and
conventional! ty.
"Come Join our human Tace!" was
the cry shouted by the Texas Elks,
wh filled the southern end of the
corridor and who were the leaders In
the animated crowd. They meant to
imply that those who were too "stiff"
to Join In the fun might Just as well
be dead.
This la the spirit of the Elk convention ;
this Is the spirit that causes Judges,
doctors, college professors, newspaper
- men. preachers and even Governors of
; distant states to leave their work teni
j porarily and come to a place where
they can forget for awhile serious
' duties.
, Men who have no time for frivolity
( for SO weeks in a year take this oo-
raslon to lay aside their cares and
; their burdens and to Join in happy re-
pnlon with their brother Elks. From
i their actions and their playfulness it
' Is Impossible to distinguish them from
even the youngest and most enthu
, siastic of the bunch.
, The order of Elks was born to bring
! Joy and happiness Into life, and this
they do whenever they congregate for
j their annual convention. They bring
lpy and happiness Into the lives of
I their own members, but they do even
! more than that they Instill pleasure
' and delight Into the minds of those
' whose privilege it Is to look upon and
o participate In their varied forms of
; amusement.
i Elks' Fa la CoartaugfoiM.
i This spirit of frivolity seems to be
contagious whenever the Elks gather.
i It certainly waa contagious there at
' fhs Multnomah Hotel yesterday. It
t started when the La Grande band
.' marched through the corridor playing
- stirring airs and stopping for awhile
i oserenade the grand lodge officers,
t Tien came the San Francisco crowd.
accompanied by their well-equipped
drill team. Followed then Log Angeles,
t only to be followed in turn by the
' Montana and Idaho state bands and
..various other organisations from -near
, and distant states. A happy crowd it
was that gathered there.
Fred Harper, of Lynchburg. Va,
chairman of the ritual committee, at
i tired in a fresbly ironed linen suit,
) was a conspicuous figure for awhile.
Soon other attractive garments made
thsir appearance. Mr. Harper says he
waa responsible for the beautiful
'. weather with which the convention
was blessed yesterday. His suit did
f the work.
i The La Grande and Baker bands
then proceeded on a round of sere-
nades. stopping, among other places,
i.at the office of The Oregonlan. where
' their music waa much appreciated.
A nnlque pair around the hotels yes
v terday was R. K. Hoke, of Hanover,
j Pav, and H. B. Carmany. of Allentown,
Fa. They are on their honeymoon trip,
they say. Carmany Is the bridegroom
and Hoke the bride. The "husband"
Is wearing a great big sombrero hat
'--which he. has haA with him to every
grand lodge meeting In . the . last ten
I'veara. He has. it decorated with pur-
i pi and white ribbons, among which
f one beating the name "Allentown,
Pa " la the most conspicuous. The
"bride" Is attired in becoming gar
mnts of purple and white and carries
a bunch of purple and white sweet
peas, as well as a purple ana wnue
parasol. "She" also wears a rose neck
'. laoe and a pair of dewdrop earrings,
: all the gift of the "bridegroom."
. One of the prettiest special badges
,Jbelng worn at the convention Is that
of James P. Healey, past exalted ruler
i'of St. Paul Lodge No. 69. He was
. nnuntKil with the badge by the mem
1 bers of bis lodge for the valuable work
he did in building the new home, which
; was recently dedicated there. It is

WORDS OF COMMENDATION.
Wonderful Growth in Past Two
Years Is- Source of Much
Favorable Comment.
"I have been, an Elk for, over 25
years." said George C. Hale, of 1 Kan
sas City, .Mo., "and. with few excep
tions. I have attended every grand
lodge session that has been held since
my Initiation. But I wish to say that
Portland has outdone any other, city
in the United States by at least .50 per
cent. The decorations surpass all ex
pectations. The hospitality of the Elks
here could not be improved upon.
"Our visit at this time is not only
a big surprise as showing your, en:-;
prise, but the wonderful growth of
your city. Since arriving In Portland
I have taken occasion to inspect your
Are department, which, I have to say,
bears a most favorable comparison
with any other in the United States.
It is well organized and its equipment
Is the best. Of it you have every rea
son to be proud.

the fire department of Kansas City

that cltv. It was Mr. Hale who was in
charge of the fully equipped firemen's
organisation that was sent from this
country to attend the international
Fire Tournament at Lonaon in is.
Seven rears later he took the tame
kind of team to a similar tournament
at Paris. It consisted of a full crew
of 27 men and complete apparatus for
nsrhtinar fire. From both tournaments
Mr. Hale returned with first prizes, in
eluding a worlds record in tne test
for responding to an alarm of fire.

Kansas City, who accompanied Mr.
Hale, "and a I am astounded at me
marvelous growth of Portland since
mv last visit. While I come from a
great city myself Kansas City I take
hat off to Portland. The progress
of your city in tne snon penou ui
two years has not only been Immense,
but I " would not have believed It if
some one bad told me what has taxen
place. It must be seen to be realised.
The hospitality that is being extended
to visiting Elks has not been surpassed
by any other- , city in the United
Ktatpn that has' entertained the grand
lotisre In the last 15 years. And I
guess I ought to know. I have at
tended all of them."
