TIIE 3IOKJTIXG OREGO.MAN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 191G. K v PIEDMONT INVADED BY HOST OF ELVES Fairyland Appears in Chil dren's Parade Carts Are Beautifully Decorated. INDIAN WARRIORS FIGHT King: and Queen Ttide in State as Throng: l'ays Homage and Are Followed by Fantastic Pro cession of Carriages. People of Piedmont rubbed their eyes last nig-ht and wondered if a. fragment of the Midsummer Night's Dream had somehow or other strayed into their orthodox community. For In the witching- hour before day light slips quietly into Its kimono of Invisibility, all the population of Fairy land suddenly appeared on Cleveland avenue, advancing in an elfish pageant of flowers and color. Of course the papas and mamas and sisters and brothers, and also the aunts and uncles who rushed out and assem bled along the curbing to watch them pass, knew that it was in reality the youngest generation of the community, and not a procession of jolly little changelingrs or a parade of the Amal gamated Order of Gnomes and Fairies, for under the chaplets of flowers and the Improvised masks and daubs of lampblack in which sonve appeared they were still able to distinguish certain unmistakably familiar clusters of curls, or tight little "pigtails" or groupings of freckles. lOO Children Participate. The parade formed at Cleveland ave nue and Highland street, moved down to the Piedmont Presbyterian Church, counter-marched and disbanded, and immediately thereafter Piedmont was pervaded with the scattered host of elfin characters with their decorated go-carts and other vehicles. A hun dred children participated. Jack Schwartz, John Slusser. John and Edward Bellinger entered the march as Indians, hauling a miniature tepee float, and moved through vast applause until they came to counter march. Then a controversy arose among them as to who should lead in the traces and in a moment a small Indian war developed- When they were disentangled from one another, three of the "redskins" disappeared in three several directions, their wails dying away in heart-broken recessional, while the remaining chieftain tugged the float through the remainder of the march alone. Kin tc and Queen Are Viewed. John Goldthwaite and Mary Gold thwaite headed the procession costumed is Uncle Sam and Columbia, and Robert Vosper and Virginia Hathaway, two chubby youngsters no bigger than Spring cherubs, rode in state in a decorated pony cart, as king and queen of the children's festival. Dorothy Hesseldenz was maid of honor and Lang-ton Hose escorted them in soldier costume, as a guard. Bobbie Johnson was hauled in a float buiH like half a gigantic egg shell, and assisted vigorously in the applause that marked his passage and Betty Goldstein pedaled a marvelous blue and white velocipede, canopied with flowei-s. Alice Glover drove with white streamers a jolly little dancing blonde elf that answers ordinarily to the name of Clara Garrow. There were two little humble bee fairies tugging a floral cart In which was enthroned little Catherine Dekum, and after them came an endless train of decorated doll carriages and carts with "real, live" babies in them and the end of the procession was closed with a motley mags of elves and gnomes and brownies and Charlie Chaplins of all sizes and complexions.

PATRIARCH OF TUMALO FLATS VISITS PORTLAND Benjamin Franklin Nichols, Who Carries His 91 Summers Lightly and Who Recalls Mexican War of 46, in City for Pioneers' Reunion. YOU folks who date every important! happening from the 18-year-old I Spanish War. or even you who J think that the Civil War was the di- j viamg line in a more or less eventiui existence, how would you like to be in position to revert to the first Mexican War, back in "46, or the gold rush to California in '49 as the milestones of your young lives? Such is the unique distinction of Ben jamin Franklin Nichols, the patriarch of the Tumalo flats in Central Oregon, a man who bears the weight of his 91 Summers as lightly as the boys now starting for the Mexican border carry their knapsacks and rifles. "Uncle Frank." as he is known throughout the length and breadth of the state, is here to attend the pioneers' reunion which opens tomorrow. He expects to meet many latter day friends but not many old friends. Most of his old friends are gone gone forever. He is one of the last of his day and generation. Trip to Oregon Made In 1S44. The Nichols family were among the early settlers of Missouri. They moved there from Tennessee as a. protest against slavery. When slavery invaded Missouri they came to Oregon, crossing the plains in 1844. The father of "Uncle Frank" was engaged, soon after his arrival, to build a gristmill for Dr. Marcus Whitman, the missionary, near Walla Walla. Subsequently the party had a perilous trip down the Columbia in an improvised canoe. They landed near Oregon City late in June, 1845. The young Nichols had learned the car penter trade such as it was In those days from his father, and got a job building a house for "Father" John McLoughlin at Oregon City. He hewed and planed the boards by hand and fitted them in position. The next year, though, the family settled near Rickreal, Polk County, and young Nichols, in his temporary ab sence from home, was elected Sheriff of the county. He was not quite 21 years old then. But ho became Sheriff in fact as well as in name. While he held this office, one Adam E. Wimple was arrested by him and convicted on a charge of mudering his wife and concealing the body under the floor of his house. Each county performed its own hangings in those days and the young Sheriff disposed of this particu lar man himself. He wanted to do the job right, he says. Part Takes in Gold Rosa.
