Sporadic band concerts, springing
from the enthusiasm of the moment;
impromptu parades that began with
the first band and patrol that had
the incentive and ended only when
it tired; the continual rolling of
drums and the air filled with scraps
of melodies that ranged from the
latest in "jazz" to the earliest in
classical these were the features of
yesterday.
"Bombs bursting in air,", noise,
noise and then more noise, all the
effervescings of laughing, jolly
crowds that wandered hither and

PORTLAND'S FOOD UP 1
17 PER CENT IN YEAR
COST FOR AVERAGE FAMILY
REACHES XEW HEIGHTS.
Increases in Sugar, Flour and Po
tatoes Account Largely for .
Jew High Mark.
WASHINGTON, June 21. The food
budget of the average American fam
ily attained a new high record in
May, the department of labor an
nounced today, the cost of 23 articles
of food having increased 3 per cent
over April and 7 per cent over Jan
uary. Recent increases In sugar, flour
and potato prices largely accounts
for the increase, the review said.
In comparison with the April figr
ures, today's review showed sugar
had advanced 26 per cent, corn meal
14 per cent, flour 7 per cent and po
tatoes S per cent.
From May, 1919, to May, 1920, the
greatest increase, 22 per cent, was
shown in Springfield. 111. The next
largest increase, or 21 per cent, was
in Butte and Chicago. In Salt Lake
City the average family expenditure
for the 22 food articles increased
during the year 20 per cent; in Omaha
and San Francisco, 19 per cent; in
Los Angeles and- Portland, Ori, 17
per cent; in Seattle, 15 per cent; Den
ver, 12 per cent.
, Wholesale prices also advanced
during May, the department's review
showed, the "index" in this case being
M per cent over that of April.
"The group of fuel and lighting
materials again furnished the most
notable example of price increase,"
the statement says, "due mainly to
the recent sharp advance in both hard
and soft coal and coke. The index
number of this group rose from 213
in April to 235 in May."

60 SPECIALS BRING
IN 50,000 NOBLES
Record Train Movement
for Day Reported.
SHRINE HOST JOURNEY ENDS
Trains Handled With Little
Confusion or Delay.
AL KADER ABLY HELPED
Boy Scouts and Groups of Citizens
Assist In W elcoming and Guid
ing Guests From Afar.
Multi-colored, caravans of steel
came yesterday to their Journey's
end from across far-off sands and
unloaded their happy, laughing hosts
of sheiks and ladies at the sheltering
oasis of Portland.
What railroad men universally as
serted was the greatest daily train
movement in any American city, .with
the possible exception of New York,
was Portland's yesterday ' between
midnight Sunday and midnight last
night.
More than 60 special trains "from
practically every state of the union
chugged their way into Unjon station,
bringing with them' nearly 50,000
nobles and their wives and sons and
daughters to " the premier imperial
session of the Mystic Shrine.
Little Confusion Noted.
Due, in a large measure, to effi
cient railroad management, there was
a minimum of confusion and delay
in the handling of these Shrine spe
cials. As fast as one of the special
trains arrived on its alloted track,
the visitors were received by waiting
delegations of the faithful, and within
10 minutes switch engines rushed to
and fro shunting the trains off to
nearby sidetracks in order that other
specials might have the right of way.
The railroad officials, however,
oould not have functioned so auickly
and efficiently; ..but . for the splendid
co-operation' of the Al Kader recep
tion committee, the Boy Scouts and
other groups of citizens who are
assisting as ' general guides and
walking bureaus of information.
Awtos la Readiness.
As trains arrived at the yards, the
Al Kader nobles took the visitors
in charge; the Boy Scouts would tug
at heavy grips and suitcases, and
other ribbon-bedecked citizens would
help guide the visitors ' to the sta
tion entrance.
And there a vast array of automo
biles always was In waiting to rush
those from other lands to registration
headquarters, and thence to their
hotels and rooms.
Practically every temple brought
with it a band or drum corps or a
patrol or a group of chanters, whil
a majority of them brought all these,
and more. Never since the present
Union station was reared has there
been such a musical demonstration
as was given yesterday beneath those
railroad sheds where ribbons of steel,
stretched away for miles in the dis
tance. The Arab patrols and chan
ters also helped to enliven the oc
casion and proclaim to the. world that
tke .Shrine,' this week, has a quit
claim deed to the City of Roses.

EN ROUTE TO SAN FRANCISCO.
June 21. (Special.) The dispatches
which come out here from the entour
age of Senator Harding at Washing
ton, or which reflect the spirit of re
publican circles elsewhere, are uni
formly optimistic. - The tenor of all
of them is Illustrated by one widely
circulated through the newspapers of
the west under the headline "Hard
ing cements party." -
So far as this represents an at
tempt to create morale ana, an ef
fort to create an atmosphere' of har
mony and solidarity at the outset of
the campaign, U is an intelligent and
not illegitimate device of political
strategy. Bat so far as it represents
the real beliefs of republican leaders
and managers in the east, it must
be set down as a case of at least par
tial self-hypnotism.
Phrmme Called Mere Words.
An observer who Is without oblii
gatlons to further party plans is com
pelled to record the fact that in this
country west of the Mississippi the
Harding nomination contributes noth
ing toward cementing the factions of
the republican, party. " To Say that
"Harding cements the party" is mere
words. As long as the schism of 1912
remains at all, the Harding nomina
tion does nothing toward curing it.
It Is idle to pretend that any part
of that rift which .refused to be
placated by. the nomination of Hughes
in 1918 will be remedied now by the
nomination of . Harding. It is sheer
self-delusion to assutne that any old
progressives who were Irreconcilable
enough o remain out of the. .party
even after Roosevelt personally tried
to lead them, back, wilt' how return
because of Harding's nomination.
It would be hard to prove that
there are greater qualities of ce
mentation in Harding than there were
in Hughes and Roosevelt combined.
Such progressives as resisted ce
mentation In 1916 are not likely to
yield. to it in 1920 because of Hard
ing. : ..V
It is true the dispatches tell of
one after another of the old progres
sive leaders calling on Harding- and
(promising him their support, but it
remains to be shown just how far
these leaders are. able to. speak for
the distant voters of the old pro
gressive party.
Your correspondent does not mean
to say that there is in . these trans
Mississippi states any violent outcry
against, the Harding nomination. But
most decidedly there is total lack of
enthusiasm. More strongly than this,

NON-PARTISAN RACE
IN MINNESOTA CLOSE
REPUBLICAN" GUBERNATORIAL
VICTORY IX DOUBT.
Two Candidates, One Indorsed by
League, Lead AH Rivals in
Early Returns.
ST. PAUL, Minn.. June 22. Two
candidates, one indorsed by the na
tional non-partisan . league, led the
field for the republican gubernatorial
nomination when returns on yester
day's primary had been received early
today from one-sixth of the state.
It became apparent that not until
virtually complete returns had been
received would the outstanding issue
of election be determined, whether the
non-partisan league, sweeping down
from North Dakota, would capture
the republican state ticket nomina
tions. J. O. O. Preus, indorsed for the
nomination by the state-wide party
elimination convention in May and
now state auditor, had a lead of more
than 7000 votes over Dr. Henrik Ship
stead, non-partisan league choice, in
the republican gubernatorial contest,
when 450 precincts out of 3195 in the
state had been reported.
The count from these precincts was:
Preus 27,687, Shipstead 20,080. with
the other four candidates trailing, the
nearest of the quartet commanding
10,000 votes. The returns, measured
In precincts, were about one-half from
the rural communities, with the other
from Hennepin and Ramsey counties.
In which are located Minneapolis and
St. Paul, respectively.
The returns on the democratic gu
bernatorial contest were slower and,
while L. C; Hodgson, recently,, .re
elected mayor of St. Paul, held a nar
row margin lead, he was crowded by
two other candidates, and the nom
ination was in doubt.

LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 21.
Two earthquakes tonight shook Los
Angeles and five nearby towns in
Los Angeles county. The first
tremor at 6:57 o'clock lasted for sev
eral seconds and did' extensive dam
age to buildings and homes, falling
bricks from a structure at Sixth
