THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1912. ELKS REUNION STORIES (f I r I could only mafce our folks be I lleve me when I tell them what I've seen I shall be satisfied," said G. S. Maxwell, of the Chamber of Com merce of Dallas. Tex. "The develop ment here Is beyond our highest an ticipation. The new buildings have ex pensive details in them that bring them op to date and right Into line with the best we can show our way or in fact anywhere in America. This certainly i.-- th. wnllest handled conven- n&3 utvu . " " " ' tion I have had the pleasure of attend ing. I am more than glad I came, and I shall come again." f(t AM not a man of many words." I said Henry Brie, of Juneau, Alas ka, "so you will not find me saying very much, when I do say anyininu, though, I mean it. Any city, I don't mind where it is. that can beat this will have to be going" some. The conven tion was the best I have ever seen." ((IX vold of Kraft from the r hotel and restaurant point of view at any rate." said Brother Billy Baxter, of Salt Lake City. "Thats what I find here. It is the only city where the hotels have not tried to ad vance their prices. As a rule I expect to spend, or rather I have had to spend about $500. while I have had a better time and done just as much here on $150. and that is going to make me come again. This city has established a precedent by the courtesy that has been extended to us. such as I have not experienced even when attending a National convention. And talking of politics, it is the West that will hold the political dictation in its hand in a few years. What I am telling you Is nothing but facts, and if my business was In a condition to permit of it I would move down here tomorrow. My wife is going to stop behind when I do go, so yon see she likes it Just as inach as I do." THE friendliness of the people and the entrancing kind of weather were two of the features of Portland which were first noticed by William K. Drlsland, district deputy of New Tork, and a member of the Albany lodge. "I Just hate to leave, for I have never experienced such a great time. ' There Is no city of this size to com pare with Portland, which, with its wonderful climate and the unlimited hospitality of its people, must attract people by the thousands in the near future. "Judge Addington, also of New Tork, was talking to me about It Just before he left. . I know he thought as I do, but he was also immensely pleased with the legal holiday given for the parade, a thing I believe that is un precedented in the annals of Elkdom." fflT IS very hard to tell your people I here what I , think, for it has all been so remarkable. The first thing I noticed on my arrival was the num ber of skyscrapers for the size of the place." Such were the opening re marks of D. H. Crowley, of Cheboy gan. Mich. "And if I have heard it said once I have heard it 200 times that this Western hospitality we have received in Portland makes us all wish to migrate to this part of the world. The 'news from home' feature which The Oregonian has been running has been appreciated by every Elk. and it has never been .carried out before by any other newspaper." AMONG the foremost of unique fea features of the convention was a Japanese parasol of unusual si, which was being carried up and down the. streets by C J. Hahn and C. H. Harder, members of Twin Falls. Idaho, Lodge, No. 11S3. The parasol meas ured approximately 16 feet In diam eter, and was being used "to preserve our complexions," one of the boys ex JEROME B. DAT, of Moscow, Idaho, f Lodge No. 249. is known as "Jerry by every one of the 200 Elks that came from that state, and all or wnom are at the Portland. Mr. Day is one of the owners of the famous Hercules mine. As soon as the party had been fixed for their stay, Mr. Day gave a check book, with every leaf signed in blank, to the secretary of the lodge with in structions to see that it should not be money that prevented all from having a. rood time. What tnis mignt mean. and probably does, can be understood ' when it is remembered that there are tOO In the party. THE same spirit of festivity that moved some two dozen visiting Elks to commandeer a city street sprinkling cart and "ride the water wagon uo and down wasningion street Monday night, led another bunch of visitors to attempt to put one over on Sergeant Carlson, of the first night relief. Carlson was keeping a watchful eye on Seventh street, when he suddenly noticed half a dozen heavy-set and mus cular Elks start a fight. Other Elks hastened to interfere, and were drawn into the fray themselves, until there was apparently a small-sized street riot in progress. Sergeant Carlson had sen the nrellrainaries to tn deal, now- ever, and. in spite of the excellence of . the staging of the fracas, refused to Interfere. Seeing this, the Elks desist ed, remarking that Portland policemen seemed to be too wise to be caught napping. EORGE MC AKTHT, of Tacoma VI Lodge 174, who is in charge of Ta coma headqu-rters in the Portland Ho tel. Is perhaps one of the best-known telegraph operators on the Coast. He was sitting in his headquarters enter taining some visitors, when he sudden ly pricked up his ears and listened in tently. A moment later he excused himself and dashed out into the hall way, returning in a few seconds with a friend who was carrying a cane, whom he at once led to the refreshment counter. Then he returned to his duty of entertaining guests. "What made you leave us so sudden ly?" asked a young woman in the crowd. McCarthy laughed. "Emergency call." he replied; "that was another operator, and he was standing out in the hall way tapping out distress calls in Morse with his cane. I heard the ticks and rescued him. My. but he must have been thirsty: look at him punishing that punch over there. WOWEN screamed in dismay and - W pity, drivers brought heavy cars to a sudden halt and solicitous in qnlrles were made last night when nearly a score of puppies, crusnea under the wheels of the vehicles, uttered their dvintr velDs and howls. It was . the Kansas City crowd of young men, putting on their stunt. There were no dogs, no crushed and mangled bodies and no need of pity. The howls that died out in a last feeble expiring yelp came from one of the Missourians stationed immediately be hind the car and the crowd that gath ered about were accomplices of the "show me" delegation. W TELEGRAM was Just received by J- August Menn, Jr., from San Jose, CaL. Lodge No. 622, B. P. O. Elks, stat ing that they had let the contract for their new building, to cost 135,000. ex cept furniture. The site, purchased at a cost of 160.000, is located in the heart of the city, southeast corner of First and St. Johns streets, facing St. James Park on the north. The old shacks are now being torn down to make roomj for their beautiful three-story building. Blx years ago at the time of the oarthauake. San Jose lodge went down, and nearly out That never-fall spirit of Elkdom took hold of the boys, ana with a $1500 note staring them In the face they purchased the old Methodist Church property and went in debt over $35,000. The mortgage on that prop- Ai-tv was burned some four weeks ago, and they have now started on their new building, which, when completed, will call for an Investment of $150,000 or more. E. HOLCOMB, . designer of San Francisco cadge, is such the clever sleight of hand performer that whm he nut on a series of stunts on the train coming to Portland, all the women gave their Jewelry into the care of the porters. GRANT - Pauley, who designed the classv watch badge of the Musko gee, OklaJ, delegation, is the exalted ruler of that lodge.

They were distributed to the members as they passed out. Special boxes were given to the of ficers of the lodge and members of committees. COAL-BLACK pickanlnnys, Just like tha "niggers" way down In Missis. .inni in ornoA water melons and the whole lot set in a natural cotton boll, is the official badge of the jnerioan, miss., delegation of three men. There are only 100 of the unique badges In exist ence. The three Elks are Sol Suger man, Ike Rosenbaum and S. C Moseley, all of Merldan. The pickinanny has black, curly hair and regulation chocolate-colored skin, and he rests serenely In his favorite fruit. The watermelon is cleverly ar ranged in the center of a cotton boll, and the thorn or stem of the boll is left for a handle. The Mississippi Elks think they have the only badge in town. THE Idaho Elks' Band rendered an Interesting concert last night at the Portland Hotel. Features were a cornet solo by Professor C. J. Carey and a tenor solo by Claude Heard. The Drorramme was brought to a close by a ragtime concert. tj V ATCH Tacoma grow!" exclaimed VV a bystander, plagiarizing some, what on the Tacoma slogan, as the delegation from that city passed down Alder street In Thursday's parade. "Yes, and we did not bring them all over with us, either," retorted a Taco ma Elk in the line. "Well, you have surely grown some, then, since the last census," replied the first man as he craned his neck up the street In an attempt to get a glimpse of the final line of four stalwart Ta comans that was passing. - , FOR YOUR HAIR Here Are Facta We Want Too o Prove at Our Risk.
