i Grand lodge officials -were busy yes
terday closing up the business of the
convention. Most of them Joined in
the riTer excursions in the afternoon
end as they had been relieved of the
strain of the convention proper, they
enjoyed this feature as much as any
thing of the entire -week.
Probably the busiest man in Port
land yesterday was Cary L Applegate,
the new secretary of the board of
grand trustees. Mr. Applegate was the
first snember of the board to arrive in
Portland and "will be one of the last
to leaves. Alfred T. Holly, of Hacken
ack, N. J., senior member of the
board, which consista of five members,
was elected chairman at yesterday's
meeting. Mr. Applegate was made sec
retary. Arrangements were made for
folding another meeting within the
rext few weeks, probably at Chicago.
', Faulkner Sheds Coat.
! John J. Faulkner, of East St. Louis,
ITl- who was elected to the board, as
sumed his active duties yesterday and
with bis coat off and sleeves rolled op
was about as active around the grand
lodge headquarters aa any of them.
, On account of his elevation to the
office of grand exalted ruler, Thomas
B. Mills, the retiring ' member, was
unable to devote his usual amount of
work to the duties of the board and
the new organization bad Its bands full
of business. Mr. Mills yesterday ap
pointed as his private stenographer
Mlsa Emma Scholl, who has served as
stenographer to the grand exalted ruler
for the last seven years. She formerly
was employed in a like capacity in the
office of Mr. Applegate when he was in
private business at Owensboro, Ky. She
was "discovered" "there by Robert W.
Brown, of Louisville, when he became
grand exalted ruler in 1905. Since
then she has been stenographer for
every man who has held that office. Mr.
Mills considers her services are indis
pensable and she will take up her
duties at once.
Big Elk Praises City.
Host of the grand lodge officers re
mained in the city but are preparing
to leave this afternoon. Grand Exalted
Ruler Mills, Grand Secretary Robinson,
Grand Esquire Nicholson and other
officials will return via Tacoroa and Se
attle. "There is nothing too good to be
said about Portland." said Mr. Mills
last night. "Every condition here has
lent itself to the most successful, re
union. I have enjoyed It probably
more than any other I have attended.
While this may be due to the great
honor that was bestowed on me here,
I believe that it naturally was pro
ductive of enjoyment. Every grand
lodge officer with whom I have talked
has passed a happy week. '
"Residents of Portland are entitled
to much of credit for the way they
handled this convention. When I speak
of the residents of Portland. I don't
mean the Elks only, but every resi
dent of the city. The Elks, of course,
are deserving of their full share of
glory, aa it was they who secured and
handled the convention, but they could
not nave done it so successfully had not
everyone in the city come to their
id."
i Exalted Ruler to Return.
Mr. Mills said that he hopes to visit
Portland within the present lodge year.
Immediately after he returns home he
will go on a brief vacation, at the con

conduoting the Important work that has
been assigned to him. Meanwhile, the
present appointive positions in the
grand lodge will be filled by the in
cumbents. He will not De reaay to an

mitteemen until September 1.
Under the organization of the grand
lodsre the country is divided Into 90
districts, each in charge of a district
deputy grand exalted ruler, wno re
ports to the grand exalted ruler. It is
the purpose of these deputies to visit
each lodge at" least once within the
year. Each state has at least one
deputy and those states in which the
Elk population IS neavy are oiviuea
Into two or more districts.
Alfred T. Holly will be the last grand
lodge official to leave. He has been
secretary of the board of trustees
during the lodge year just closed and
it will be his duty to remain on the
ground and to close up the business
of the grand lodge, paying hotel bills
and other expenses contracted. It Is
estimated that the expenses of the
present session to the grand lodge
alone for hotel bills, traveling expenses,
salaries of employes and all other Items
will exceed $150,000.

Supplemental proof of the tameness
of the trained elks that were exhibited

In Thursday's parade, was supplied by
the animals themselves last night. Led
by their owner, L A. Olsen, and their
keepers, A. M. Logan, W. D. Hoover
and Fred Goble, all of Aberdeen lodge,
three of the five animals entered and
passed through a number of down
town business blocks and hotels. They
were restrained only by cloth 'halters,
made from strips of bunting embracing
the colors of the order, which any
fractious colt would sever readily.
Streets thronged with noisy revelers,

other bedlam - producing implements

which walked into - The Oregonian
business office, preceded by their
trainers. Businesslike, one proceeded
to holp himself to the contents of a
convenient pastepot, all the while wel
coming caresses from the hands of a
hundred spectators who surrounded the
pair.
Later, without offering the slightest
protest, both animals entered the el
evator in the main corridor and were
taken to the eighth floor of The Ore
gonian building where a flashlight
photograph was taken. It was then
that they showed almost heroic fortlj
tude. Both elk they are only-yearlings

These elk have been in actual' cap

riod of 40 days. They were obtained
by Mr. Olsen in the Quinault Valley of
the Olympic Mountains where from the
time of their birth they had enjoyed
unrestricted access to an 80 - acre
fenced wooded tract. Exaotly 40 days

OREGON CITY ELKS GLAD
Lodgemen G4ve Credit for Victory to
. Esquire Log-as. , .
OREGON CITY, Or, July 12. (Spe
cial.) Members of No. 1189, Oregon
City Lodge of Elks, were Jubilant to
day over the victory of the representa
tives of the lodge who participated in
the big parade Thursday. While it
was expected that the uniformed dele
gation would win a prize. Inasmuch as
It was known that other lodges had
obtained much more expensive suits It
was scarcely believed that the local
antlers would be the winners of sec
ond prize for "the best appearance in
line," which was $250.
However, there is no question as to
the delegation having made a line ap
pearance, and there were no suits worn
in the parade that attracted more at
tention, and the suits worn by the Ore
gon City men were not only "made in
Oregon," but were made In Oregon
City. William Logus, esquire of Ore
gon City Lodge, had profited by his
years of military training and drilled
his men to the limit of' perfection. It
was noticed all along the line of march
that the Oregon City men indulged In
no bantering conversation with the
audience, which was directly due to the
Instructions given them .by Esquire
Logus. -
Beveral hundred visiting Elks who
came to the city today were enter
tained by a committee of Elks and
members of the Commercial Club.

"Portland has made Itself famous all
over the United States. There is not
one whit of exaggeration .in the state
ment when I say that no other city in
the world has ever entertained a body
of men so royally as Portland this week
has entertained the Elks."
Andy Curry, of CoffeyviHe, Kan,
made this statement.
"I have talked confidentially . with
delegates who have been to every big
affair of the kind ever held," continued
Mr. Curry, "and they all say that noth
ing like it has ever been seen in the
history of Elkdom. Nowhere in the
United States have they ever held open
house as you people on the Pacific
Coast have done.
"Tour restaurant keepers and hotel
men have sacrificed their legitimate
profit by keeping everything at ordi
nary prices. This is a source of won
der to me. I can't account for the
wonderful liberal-hearted community
spirit of the thing. Back EaBt we all
think our own little town and county
is about the whole show, but there Is
not another state in the Union that
can boast the record of Portland a
people unitedly working for the wel
fare of the city.
T have a room at the Oregon Hotel
that cost me only $2 a day. I can get
good meals anywhere in the city for
85 and 60 cents, and for Elks who
drink the drinks are free. You have
future candidates for the convention
scared. They know they cannot com
pete with you. I understand that a
number of men subscribed as high as
15000 to the fund, and that many went
up to 600. Even in-our big cities back
East we couldn't get anything like
that. Either we are more stingy or
are not so prosperous.
"I'll wager no man ever saw such
street decorations.
"I .don't understand it. I don't see
where you get all your money, all your
unselfish fellows and all your hard
workers that have made this affair
possible."

HUGH IS EXPECTED
OF PARIS COUNCIL
Citizens Look to New Munici
' pal Body to Spend $180,
000,000 Properly.
VAST CIVIC WORK PLANNED
Improved Water Supply, Hospitals,
Sanitary Dwellings and Traffic
Aids Among Projects In
volved In Programme.
PARIS, July . (Special.) A new
Municipal Council' has been elected for
Paris, and much is expected of its ef
forts in using the balance of the $180,
000.000 loan still at disposal. Out of
this sum $14,400,000 was ear-marked
for schools, $25,000,000 for Improved
water supply, $8,000,000 for slaughter
houses, $7,000,000 for hospitals, and $6,
000,000 for fighting tuberculosis and for
the construction of cheap sanitary
dwellings. A substantial sum was thus
left for opening new streets and gen
erally Improving the aspect of Paris,
the facilities for traffic, and the de
velopment of Its population. The needs
of the metropolis may be divided under
two principal heads the creation of
the Greater Paris and the clearing of
the center.
M. Delanney, the new Prefect, at
taches the greatest importance to the
abolition of the fortifications which is
necessary to give more room to the
congested 20 odd arrondlssements. From
a sanitary point of view the lessening
of open spaces and the perpetually In
creasing density of the population,
which are the consequences of the rise
in the price of land, have favored the
spread of infectious diseases and kept
the death-rate at a high figure.
Poor Are Driven Oat.
Gradually the poorer population Is
being driven out to the suburbs and
the surrounding little towns without
appreciably diminishing the conges,
tion. and at certain hours of the day
at certain points, in spite of the multi
plication of means of transport, it is
quite impossible to free the traffic and
meet the demand for conveyance.
There are many other financial and
administrative considerations which, in
the opinion of M. Delanney, render It
of the first Importance to do away with
the fortifications and have the enor
mous superficies they now occupy at
disposal for opening out new quarters
and creating fresh open spaces. This,
however, is a question that the Munici
pal Council cannot decide by itself.
The negotiations with the state have
not yet made progress, and until the
matter can be brought before the
Chamber and voted upon nothing can
be done except to make vague plans
that can never be certain of realisa
tion. Meanwhile the commission has ex
pressed an opinion that the extension
of Paris does not necessarily mean only
Its development beyond Its present lim
its, but includes a methodical devel
opment of the city as It now stands.
What is lacking in modern Paris is
great transversal avenues connecting
Its extremities, and radial arteries to
empty the points where the affluxion
is greatest. The original scheme of
Baron Haussmann aimed at this, but
Is no longer applicable, and a fresh and
much larger 1 scheme Is necessary, and
is already in embryo, for attaining
this object. It will require, however,
an immense sum of money, and the
balance of the last loan will barely
suffice to liquidate what Is left of for
mer projects. It is hoped, however,
that before the four years' mandate of
the newly-elected council expires It
will be able to raise some millions
more to execute at least a few of the
more urgent works.
New Projects Contemplated.
These are already sketched out ' as
being (1) the completion of the Boule.
vard Haussmann; (2) the prolongation
of the Rue de Rennes on the left bank;
(3) the relief of some of the central
quarters by a large new street running
from the Madeline eastwards to the
Boulevard Beaumarchais, and (4) an
enlargement of the City Hall for all
which the plans are already drawn up.
There will always, however, be the
money difficulty, and a number of
councillors deprecate the piercing of
great new avenues Instead of simply
beautifying more elaborately the im
mediate centers which are the quar
ters that attract strangers. There is
no disputing the fact that Paris de
pends very largely on the enormous
sums left by foreign visitors, and there
Is. perhaps, too much disposition to
cater for their tastes rather than to go
in broadly for gigantic works which in
the end would render Paris Infinitely
more beautiful and agreeable for its
own inhabitants, but which meanwhile
might somewhat spoil the great exist
ing attractions it possesses. .
IRISH SUFFRAGETTES BUSY
Woman Speaker Points Out As
quith's Alleged Inconsistency.
DUBLIN. July 13. (Special.) At a
meeting which was held In Phoenix
Park this week under the auspices of
the Irish Women's Franchise League,
the speakers were subjected to a good
deal of heckling. At one period a sec
tion of the meeting treated a male
supporter of the suffragettes to some
unpleasantness. The arrival of a po
lice inspector and some constables
saved the situation.
Mrs. Sheehy Skefflngton said they
only broke windows that were the
property of the government. When
they heard that Mr. Asqulth was com
ing to Dublin in July they wrote ask
ing him to receive a deputation from
their league. Before the militancy
took place, he replied, refusing to re
ceive the deputation. If he persisted
In this refusal he must take the con
sequences. The Theater Royal would
be carefully packed by a select crowd
who would have to pay $2 each to
hear Mr. Asqulth, who knew perfectly
well that he dare not address a meet
ing of the Irish people in the Phoenix
Park. She challenged him to do it
Mr. Asqulth's reply referred to above
was received the day before the re
cent window-breaking in Dublin, and
runs as follows:
"In answer to your letter of the Sth
Inst., the Prime Minister regrets that
his engagements will not permit of
his receiving a deputation during the
course, of his visit to Ireland, which
will be only of very short duration.
Mr. Asqulth, who wishes me to point
out that Mr. Blrrell received a deputa
tion from your society on February
20 last, and he does not, therefore,
think that any good object would be
served by his receiving another depu
tation on the same subject, as he has
nothing to add to what Mr. Blrrell then
said to you." '
To this letter the Irish Women's
Franchise League has responded by re
minding Mr. Asqulth that Mr. Blrrell's
advice was to concentrate on the con
ciliation bill, and as since then the
suffrage situation has completely
changed, it again urges the Prime Min
ister to receive the proposed deputa
tion. MODEL FOR COIN IS DEAD
Mile. Adeline, or France, Whose
Form Adorns 5-Franc Piece, Dies.
PARIS, July 13. (Special.) An in
teresting though forgotten figure has
Just been removed by death In Paris.
Mile. Adeline, who died a short time
ago at the advanced age of 84. has
been, although unknown to them, a
familiar figure to the French peopls
for more than half a century.
In 1848, when the monarchy of Loutf
Philippe was overthrown for the re
public, it was necessary to find an
emblem for the new coinage. Mile
Adeline, who was then 20 years old,
was remarked by Oudine, the artist
charged with the task of designing the
5-franc piece, and was employed by
him to pose for the familiar Ceres
crowned with ears of corn and laurels.
Up to the last Mile. Adeline preserved
her likeness to the figure of the re
public. Falls City to Enjoy Band Concerts.
FALLS CITY, Or., July 12. (Spe
cial.) The business men of this town
are making arrangements to have the
local band give Saturday night open
air concerts. The band of 16 pieces
Is better organised than ever.
