Oregon Elks contributed their full
hare to the auccesa and magnificence
of the unparalleled a rand lodge pa
rade yesterday. Every one ot the
lodges in this state. Including the herd
at McMinnvlUe. which was organised
IX days ago and has a membership of
15. was represented in the elaborate
pageant. Ashland and Klamath Falls
were the only Oregon lodges, other
than HcMtnnTlHe. that did not send
an organised delegation representing
at least half of its membership.
Aside from the variety of rich and
attractive costumes provided, several
unique features' were Introduced by
the different lodges of this state which
afforded the thousands of Easterners a
splendid opportunity not only to get a
glimpse of the real Western life as It
was exemplified by the delegations of
Indians from Pendleton and The
Dalles, but to contrast that period with
the present state of development and
civilization of the Pacific Northwest
as it was reflected by the more elab
orately costumed delegations of "pale
laces" that represented other of the
Oregon lodges.
T These features proved both instruc
tive and entertaining to the visitors
from the East, who furnished satis
factory evidences of their appreciation
throughout the line of march.
Fortlamd Elks Lead Parade.
To Portland Lodge No. 142 came the
distinguished honor of serving as es
cort for the officers of the grand lodge
and the imposing parade. And the
borne lodge discharged the function
with the same measure of credit to
itself and the big order of which It is
a part that the privilege to serve in
that capacity was eagerly cherished.
Preceded by Grand Chief Nicholson
and his aides, the 600 members from
the Portland Lodge were headed by
36 members of the lodge's Teceptlon
eommlttee, who presented a decided
military appearance In attractive suits
of blue with caps of the same ma
terial. Following the Teceptlon com
mittee, the uniformed members of the
Portland Lodge, marching four abreast,
extended over eight blocks. They
were in charge of Dr. E. A. Marshall,
of Portland Lodge, and Dr. J. M. Ed
wards, of Mankato Lodge, mounted
aides, under Grand Esquire Nicholson.
They wore white straw hats, with
purple bands, on which were printed
the name and number of the lodge;
bine serge coats, purple neckties, white
flannel trousers, white canvas shoes
and purple socks. The marching by
the Portland delegation was particu
larly noticeable, the large body mov
ing with the precision and accuracy
of a highly trained military organiza
tion. Pcadletoa Boys Make Good.
The Pendleton Lodge gave the East
erners a taste of primitive life In Ore
gon 60 years ago. Much had been said
in advance of what the Pendleton
bunch" would do and they made good.
Riding in advance of a mounted cow
boy band of 25 pieces, attired appro
priately, was Miss Reolota McMox, a
dainty little miss from the Umatilla
County city. Following the band came
Major Lee Moorhouse, costumed os a
cowboy scout, at the head of a band
of 10 other mounted members of the
Pendleton Lodge, who were dressed in
the full regalia ot the Indian as he
roamed through Eastern Oregon halt
a century ago. Every horse was rid
den without a bridle. ' .
- The costumes were genuine, having
fceen furnished by. Major Moorhouse
from his extensive and valuable col
lection of Indian curios. .The war paint
nrtth which the faces and limbs of the
"spurious redskins were bedaubed was
not carelessly applied, either. The
Pendleton delegation brought five real
Indians to Portland and it was their
task to see that the paint was put on
according to the approved scheme of
facial decoration as it was followed by
their antecedents. They also were In
charge of the 280 Indian ponies that
-were used by the delegation in the
parade.
jck Keith, secretary of the Pendle
ton Commercial Club and also secre
tary of the Pendleton Round-Up,
brought up the rear of the fake In
diana He impersonated a squaw and
rode a horse to which was hitched a
travols, the contrivance used by the
native redskins in transporting their
personal effects from one camping
ground to another.
-Weatera Atmospkere Applied.
t Dressed as cowboys direct from the
range, 150 members of the Pendleton
'lodge followed, riding spirited Indian
ponies. The Western atmosphere of
the exhibition was further contributed
to by three of the old overland stages
that saw service on the frontier 80
and SO years ago. Circuit Judge
Phelps and Dr. W. G. Cole, formerly ot
Pendleton but now located in Portland,
were among the company of mounted
cowboys.
If the Pendleton delegation over
looked any Indian-like feat that would
remind the pioneer of the early "60s.
