. - Beginning early in the evening and
continuing long after midnight, the visiting-
Elks and -their friends, accom
panied by newly-formed acquaintances,
thronged the streets embraced by the
Court of Honor. How many times the
revelers made the circuit of ths bril

aching feet will testify this morning.
The grouch, and be did not. have to be

J.' Elk Takes Role of Clewa. '
'Good-natured 'jesting was freely In
dulged In and nobody was offended.
Several bands paraded and played the
latest popular numbers. The music
transformed sections of the marching
pedestrians into animated dancers. One
lone Elk became particularly conspicu
ous by donning the costume of a clown.
It was a uniformly happy assemblage.
" Early in the evening the streets sur
rounding the Portland Hotel were filled
with thousands of the. pleasure-seekers,
who gathered to hear the concert by
the Idaho band and to witness the
antics of the mule mascot which ac
companied the delegation from Oregon's
sister state on the east.
Even the considerate patrolmen were
hot exempt, from the jokes that were
perpetrated. . One Jovial Elk, weighing
probably 300 pounds, meeting a po
liceman, less than one-half his size,
on Seventh, street near the Iperlal Ho
tel, spoke in the following serious
vein: ' " '
"I thought I told you fb Keep on
the curb . and not again get out in
the street where you might be, struck
-Guess you did." came back the pa
trolman, who stood for the "call down,"
,"and I am aware you are big enough

COLONEL FRANK J.' PARKER. . t
Portland,": who served asr advance
agent for the : Elks' convention in the
Southwest and who is responsible for
bringing many Elks here from that dis
trict, yesterday entertained a group of
delegates with a good-luck story.
AND THEIR DOINGS
"Tears ago," said the-Colonel. "I was
prospecting in the Arizona desert and
was looking for copper, when l ran
out of water. I then met a roan who
had run out of food. He showed me
Where there was a water hole and I
gave him grub. He was broke and he
sold me for S35 some rough uncut
sapphires. Not long ago I sent them to
Tiffany and had them cut. Tiffany
pronounced them the equal of any In
the world. One Is worth over $600. I
have seven in all. red, blue, morganlte
pink-and yellow. The yellow sapphire
Is held In high esteem as counteracting
the influence of an evil eye." With
that Colonel Parker dove into his
Docket and produced the ' beautiful
sapphires before the admiring group.
"I am very well pleased with -my 835
investment," concluded Colonel Parker.
(7rLL alone from Hudson, Mass., No.
f 895," was the reply made by An
drew J. Robinson, when asked whether
he knew where another Hudson Elk ;was"
located. Brother Bob 7 may have been
all alone -when he started,, but-it's a
certainty that he couldn't have been
alone, very-long in Portland with that
smile of his and a sort of friendly at
mosphere emanating from everything
about him. "Yes." sir, I'm the only one
to make -the 'trip,-but I promised the
bdys that I'd do my best not to disgrace
them."' .-- .: - ;" , ,:
OIR I am grievously disappointed
O In Portland. X am annoyed; I am
angry.-in fact" :
."What's the matted, old chap?"
"Why.. I tell you. I have traveled
for 24 years In different parts of the
world, and it is only When I get back
to' Portland that I am asked where
Klamath Falls is, .Its positively ridic
ulous. . Everybody else, - everywhere,

POLITICAL economy and sociology
discussed in- a mixture of the Igor-
rbte language and the new Interna
tional tongue of Esperanto, la tne spe
cialty put on every evening this week
and before crowds of
Elks anywhere, by P. J. Kelly. When
Kelly gets up to speak the crowd be
gins to yell before he has said a word
and although they do not understand a
single line of the speaker's talk, they
give the lecturer th "glad hand" until
he is through. The finale to Kelly'
speech is always the best. The police
thought at first that he was crazy,
but when thev found out the facts they
made no more attempts to arrest the
entertainer.
Kelly Is one of a number of young
fellows who are putting up a Duriesque
on street sneakers. He does tne plat
form work and the others lead in the
cheerlnar over his nonsensical chatter.
He- is a Portland Doy.
FS. RATLIFF, of Idaho, who is
e going to compete for the prize for
the heaviest, or biggest Elk present at
the-convention.' is on a strike, and last
night he said that he was not going
to march In any more parades until
today, because. If he did, he would
perspire so freely that his weight
would be reduced -ana this would oe
tract from his chances of winning the
coveted honor of being "the biggest
Elk" In the convention. His friends
wanted him to take a walk around the
block later, but he absolutely refused
and said he was going to conserve his
weight and win the prize.
THERE is one delegate here who
1 has a grievance. He is a Cincin
nati man, and .he registered his com
plaint with Drr Harry F. McKay, chair
man of the reception committee, yes
terday morning.
He declares that the Portland com
mittee has been derelict In its duty in
one respect. They neglected to pro
vide barbers to shave the visitors while
they sleep. No one has time to get
shaved after once they awake.
JUST a touch of pathoB was added to
the general festivity at Seventh
and Stark streets laBt night, , when, as
the big bell In one of the court of
honor arches was ringing its 11 strokes,
a wagon of an undertaking firm
passed. . Somebody In the crowd re
marked, with levity, that the bell was
tolling for the dead; but a number of
Elks, standing near and overhearing
the remark, rebuked the speaker by
silently removing their hats and stand
ing bareheaded .while the conveyance
passed with its still burden.
POSTMASTER MERRICK desires th
visiting Elks to understand that
the mail received at the Elks' head
quarters Is arranged alphabetically, and
It should be inquired tor in that way.
and, also, it is not deemed best that an
Individual shall call for the mall or all
of his lodge members. When mail Is
addressed In care of a hotel It is de
livered there instead of at the Elks'
postoffloe.
WHEN S. B. Irvln stepped up to
George H. Lewis, the Salem hop
buyer and visiting Elk. and tried to
take away a unique badge that was
suspended to his lapel by a silk thread,
he pulled the tall off a live lizard.
There was great mourning on the part
of , Irvin when he saw his favorite
decoration thus decimated

Strains of Stirring Harmony
Fill Streets Two Hours.
"Veni, vldl, vicl" wrote the great
Caesar, after one of his famous vic
tories. Change It a trifle to "We. came,
you heard, we conquered" and the story
of the massed band parade yesterday Is
summed up in a few words.
For two hours yesterday morning
thousands listened enraptured to the
strains of the "Star-Spangled Banner."
"Marching Through Georgia" and "Auld
Lang Syno" played by a massed band
of 200 performers recruited from the
ranks of the Band of the Fifth Regi
ment. National Guard of California, the
Idaho band, the -musical corps from
SUverton and the Oregon CoaBt Artil
lery. But for the fact that the Instru
ments were tuned to a lower pitch, the
fine Coast Artillery band from San
Francisco would also have been there.
The players lined up at 9 o'clock.
At the signal from Charles E. York.
Instructor, the men swung smartly off
to the Imperial Hotel. There the play
ing of the National Anthem was the
signal for the removal of every hat.
It was at" this point that the Idaho
band, 35 strong, marched up to take
their positions behind the others. Very
cool they looked In their white silk
shirts and their duck trousers, and
their music was not one whit behtnd
their appearance In point of excel
lence. '
Seattle Makes Sbowlaer.
A diversion occurred at this Juncture.
Everybody moved to one side to allow
the passage of white uniformed Pot
latch Bugs, Just arrived, who were
whirled through to the accompaniment
of Wagner's band. Then the ranks
closed again, the band took up the
march and moved on along the path
way of the Court of Honor.
All along the route men and women
cheered to the echo. Time and time
again as different National airs were
played the vast throng cheered.
Crowds marched betore and followed
after, keeping step, humming, whistling
or singing the airs and all combined
to make the parade around the Court
of Honor a big success.
A halt was called at each corner. At
the corner of Seventh and Alder streets
members of the bands closed up their
ranks, but later on they deployed again,
taking up the entire width, of the
street.
Down Yamhill the procession wended
Its way, making a stately sweep
around, halting before the Portland
Hotel, where visitors crowded at the
windows, on the balconies and in the
court attracted by the music.
It was- when a halt was called out
side the home of the. Portland Elks
that the enthusiasm was .the greatest,
and th band had to play each air more
than once before separating Inte com
panies and departing to their own
headquarters. .
First to step smartly off was tn
Fifth Regiment,- playing one of their
favorite marches. "Celebrity." They
were followed by the SUverton or
ganization, then by the Idaho band.
Circling Into the Portland Hotel court,
they played for some time, thundering
out the "Legend of the Stars" and
receiving a shower of carnations from
the crowd above. '
Last to go were the members or tn
Coast Artillery Corps, which swuns
down Seventh street, to the cheers ot
the crowd gathered about the Elks
headquarters.
Bands Go te Onks.
During the afternoon every band
was at the Oaks, either serenading the
gathering or participating in the pre
liminary contest for the large prizes
offered by the Elks. The Coast Artil
lery Band, from California, gave a con
cert in the Multnomah Hotel from 1:S
till 3 o'clock. While the other bands
were resting last night preparatory to
the big parade today the Coast Ar
tlllery boys were working overtime a I
the grand ball given by the San Fran
cisco lodge. - They furnished music un
til a late hour, because, as one of them
put it, "we knew they wanted us."
Last evening the bands again "tuned
up" and "ragtime," which had no place
in the massed parade of the morning,
captivated the throngs in the streets.
At the Portland. Hotel there was a
musical festival. T he Idaho and Kal
(spel Bands, playing in the court, vied
with the Fifth Regiment musicians
within the hotel. At the Multnomah,
La Grande musicians kept every one In
a good humor.
A band from Los Angeles regaled
visitors at the Oregon Hotel during the
evening. One of the newest arrival,
was the Sherman County Band, which
arrived toward evening, playing before
the Elks lodge immediately atter leav
ing the station. Many others are due
