PORTLAND DAY TOMORROW
FEZ WEARERS GONE
trrort to Elect W. C. Bristol as Im
. prrlal Outer Gnard Being Made
at Conclave and Many
States lycnd Support.
Tt required the exercise of a lot of
self-restraint for a Ehriner to remain
In Portland yesterday, and few there
were who remained.
All who had ther time and the cash
departed the night before for Seattle,
where a week of joyous entertainment
Tnas been prepared for them.
While only a semi-occasional fez-
crowned visitor was apparent yester
day, members of Portland's Al Kader
Temple further . accentuated the ab
sence of the (rood fellowship and gaiety
that prevailed here on Sunday by ab
senting themselves from the streets
almost entirely. Most of them got out
the nipht before and landed In Seattle
early yesterday morning.
The few stray nobles who visited
Portland yesterday were here "un
officially," as they explained, and made
liaste. soon after arriving, to hie them
selves to livelier scenes on Puget
bound.
"Portland Day" la Tomorrow.
Those hapless Portland Shriners who
were compelled to stay at home yester
day made arrangements to get out not
later than tonight. Tomorrow will be
-Portland day" at the big conclave, and
as this also will bo the "big day" of
the week, the honor that has been be
stowed upon Portland by the Seattle
committee became apparent.
Now all that Portland needs to make
ner share of glory from the big Beat
tie meeting complete Is to have W. C.
Brrstol elected imperial outer guard.
Me is said to have the Inside track, in
asmuch as the field is badly split up
against him. The Pacific Northwest Is
solid behind him. as are the New Eng
land temples and Xew York State.
Portland presented many Strang
contrasts to the visitors from the Far
Kast and the South who were here
Eundaj".
Chinese Garb ston lakes Gnestn.
For instance, some of the Texas vis
itors had never seen Chinese children
in their native costumes. When a
Chinese woman and her year-and-a-half-old
baby, poked their heads curlouslv
out of a window near the North Bank
station some of the women tra-ellng
with Ilella Temple, of Dallas, Tex.,
were much excited.
Mrs. Karle Goodenow persisted on
having her picture taken holding the
Chinese baby. Her interest was al the
more keen because her own baby, about
the same age. was traveling with her.
His name is George I. Goodenow. and
he wears a Hella fex with as much be
coming style as any of his elders.
Among the prominent people In the
Pyramid Temple party which left Port
land early yesterday morning were W
A. Braum. ex-Mayor of Danbury. Conn -George
E. Hill. Police Commissioner of
Bridgeport, Conn.: W. M. Wi:i!m .
Justice of the State Supreme Court,
and J. A. Marflnr Probate Judge at

Sunday. He Is potentate of Abdallab
Temple at Leavenworth. Kan., and one
of the most popular Shriners In the
state. He is chief of staff to Governor
Capper, the Progressive Kansas Gov
ernor. One of the most disappointed
Shriners In Portland yesterday was J.
O. Freck. one of the most active tneir.-'
bers of Al Kader Temple. Noble F'eck
is connected with the purchasing de
partment of the Great Northern Pacific
Steamship Company, and late last week
had to go to San Francisco on business.

REGIMENT IS LAUDED
REPRESENTATIVE M'ARTHfR BACK
FROM GUARD EXCAMPMEXT.
Third Oregon la Declared "Prepared to
Give Good Account of Itself" In
Case ot Emergency.
That the encampment of the Third
Regiment, Oregon National Guard, at
Camp Jackson, Gearhart, Or., is highly
creditable to the State of Oregon U
the opinion of Representative C. N. .Uc
Arthur, who returned to Portland last
night after a two days" visit at the
camp and 'Port Stevens.
'I was most favorably impressed
with the encampment." said Mr Mc
Arthur. "The discipline is of a high
order, sanitary conditions are excel
lent, and the different drill formations
and exercises are killfully executed,
fcsotn officers and men are comfortably
quartered and well fed. and all realise
that the business of the encampment
demands the best thought and atten
tion. "General White. Colonel McLaughlin
and the other officers of the Third
Regiment, deserve the greatest praise
for the splendid organization that they
have perfected. I hope that the United
States will not go to war. but. If war
is necessary, the Third Oregon is pre
pared to give a good account of itself
"During my short stay at the beach
I walked from Camp Jackson to Fort
Stevens, a distance of about 15 miles,
and was shown over the Government
fortifications by Colonel H. H. Ludlow
the commanding officer. Colonel Lad
low made some suggestions relative to
strengthening the defenses of the fort
Dut these will be taken up with the
proper authorities at the proper time."
Before going to Washington in the
Fall. Mr. McArthur expects to make a
thorough inspection of the Columbia
River channel and bar, as well as the
north Jetty construction.
Church Party Is Coming.
Ninety-two Baptist young people from
different parts of the East will be In
Portland today as guests of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce and of the

HIGH COURT GUIDEl
Land Grant Decision Applied
in Coos Bay Case.
96,676 ACRES INVOLVED
Judge Wolvcrton Allows Soutliern
Oregon Company $2.30 an Acre,
Halts Sale and Invites Ac
tion "by Congress.
Principles of the law laid down by
the Supreme Court in deciding: the Ore
Ron & California land grant case vera
followed almost precisely by Judge
Wolverton in the United States District
Court yesterday, in deciding the case
of the Government against the South
ern Oregon Company, owner of 94.676
acres of land In the old Coos Bay
waeon road frrant.
The court, while rulinjr that the pres
ent owners have title to the land, hald
that they must not realize more than
$2."0 an acre -on any part of it.
Judge ' Wolverton also Issued a re

straining order enjoining the owners
from dli-pOKln of any of th: property
or any of the timber thereon until Con
gress has had time to determine the
final disposition of the land. If Con
cress does not act within eirht months,
according to the court's rulme. the de
fendants can ask fur a modification of
the order.
Coats Assessed to Coaananr.
Costs of the suit are to be assented
apalnst the Southern Oregon company,
under the decision.
The circumstances surrounding the
ownership of the land Involved In the
suit were almost Identical with those
governing; the Oregon St California
case. The lands were granted urtglnally
to the State of Oregon for use as an
Inducement to private Interests to build
a military wagon road from Roseburc
to Coos Bay in. the early part of 1M.
The Government's cram provided that
the odd numbered sections each side
of the road ahould Zo to ihe company
buildinn the road, on condition that
these donation sections were to be sold
to actuai settlers at not to exieed li.it
an acre.
In October. 1870. the State Legisla
ture deeded the land to the Coos Bay
Wagon rtoad Company and It built
what in those times may have answered
as a road, but which pre.ent-day
settlers characterize aa nothing more
than a trail. On this showing the com
pany got possession of the land, agre
aatinz approximately 105.000 acres. In
the subsequent few years It sold about
7000 acres under the terms of the
prant. but In May, 1S78. made a contract
to sell 3.676 acres to John Sillier. It
actually deeded to Miller 31. 511 acres
and title to the road.
The property was 4 tie eubject of fr-
nuent transfers In the following few
years, but In list the powerful band of
CoMis I. Huntington, nimtrr of the
Southern Tactile, was felt in the ne
gotiations, and he and his historic as
sociates Crocker. Stanford and Hop
kins came into possession, not only of
the lands held by Miller but or the re
maining seres which the original com
pany had airreed to deed to Miller, but
which, up to that time It retained Id
Its possession.
Th Southern Pacific Interest made
a quick ' turnover" and passed the tlt'.e
on to the Oregon Southern Improve
ment Company, which. It was assumed
at the time, was a Southern I'sclna
subsld iary.
Anywav. It became apparent to the
Government, after a few years, that the
terms of the original grant were not
being complied with and about tea
years ago the TVpartment of Justice
started a forfeiture suit.
I'nr Sails niseonttaeed.
Previous to this action, four separate
suits had been started by the Govern
ment but were discontinued on various
technicalities.
The company claimed exemption from
action against S3.000 acres on the
ground that flnat disposition of this
area tiad been determined by previous
court proceeding. Judge Wolverton
ruled that this earlier court action
could have no effect upon his ruling.
Whlie these various suits have been
pending the lands have remained Idle
and undeveloped. Fome time following
the transfer to the Oregon Southern Im
provement Company the lands were sold
to the Ho'JT'iern Oregon Company, the
present holders.
The property has an estimated value
