-The work" of .policing the parade

"IX was a big job,"- said Captain

Captain Moore and his officers had
to oversee the work of forming the
parade, had to patrol the parade lines

' .That the rare beauty of the spec
tacle was enhanced by the magnifi
cent music cannot be gainsaid. There
was nothing chary about those Shrine
bands. There were 16 of them in the
parade and they played as if they
played solely for the fun of it. And
perhaps they did. Maybe they knew.
too, that what was their fun was in
tense enjoyment to the thousands who
heard them. The bands were so
spaced that their music blended per
fectly into one harmonious whole.
Length ' Ia Just Right.
: The twin senses of sight and hear
ing "were gratified, almost to excess,
at the same moment, let not to ex
cess. The pageant was just long
enough.- None were tired.
The bands that took part were
those of the following temples:
Al Kader-of Portland: Damascus,
Rochester, N. . T.; Ismalia, Buffalo.
N..Y.; Abou Ben Adhem. Springfield,
Mb.: Afifi, Tacoma; Algeria. Helena:
Al Malaikah. Los Angeles; KI Kalah.

nut for the. almost delirious ex
citement, the crowds might have been
ored in the wait. They were not.
That magnetism that animates great
crowds possessed them and the per
fect Oregon night added to the witch
ery of the scene.
A right royal thanks waa offered
by the Shriners of the far eastern
deserts by those who came from the
lotus Isle of Hawaii, by those of the
middle' west ' and by the thousands of
faithful who give honor and obe-
Biance even if in fun to Allah.

Dignified indeed, was the "Hitting

by an aged "ship of the desert." sway
ing realistically as a youthful son of
Al Kader sought the way to the oasis.
Striking the right key. too, was the
"Band of Friendship." a presentation
of a Masonic ring, with all Masonic
and Shrine emblems worked into the
scheme of light and beauty.
All the Masonic and Shrine insignia
that the layman might have -access to
were wrought into the perfect pic
tures.. Anon were the imaginations
of the lovers of fairies. For one had
to become imaginative to get the
spirit of the occasion; and. for that
matter, most of those who saw and
wondered and admired became chil
dren again. - - .
Pageants of all sorts, the caves of
fairyland, the wildest animals, all
conjured into shape and mysticism
by the color schemes, became real for
the moment.
And when - the last spectacle had
passed, when the last band had stop
ped, then and ttien only did the wild
fun of the night begin. Scores - of
bands paraded. Laughing thousands
danced and played and were children
again.
And now nothing is left but mem

The Halles Closed Tight.
THE DALLES, Or., June 22. (Spe
cial.) In order to permit local Shrin
ers to attend the opeYilng of the an
nual i national convention of Nobles
of the Mystic Shrine in Portland to
day The Dalles is closed tight. No
store is doing business and the city
and county offices are just skimming
along to put in time.
Streets are deserted and it is evi
dent from the few pedestrians about
that The Dalles, is celebrating in
Portland. A big . delegation of locU
Shriners and their ladies left early
this morning for the Rose City mecca,
where they hope to enjoy the zum
zum waters of the big oasis, listen to
the chanting of oriental maidens and
enjoy, drills ol the several patrols.
They came, they siw and they were,
conquered," might be an apt phara-
phrase of the ancient Roman adage,
for yesterday saw the formation ot
one of the greatest mutual admiration -
societies in the history of either Port
land or Shrinedom. Every means of
transportation in the city was made
use of and while numberless set-trips J
have been arranged for the visitors
and were generously patronized, many
of the guests were taken in charge
by friends or acquaintances and -shown
the city environs and this sec
tion of the northwest of which Shrine
organizations have no record.
At that. 'official headquarters for
the varied assortment of pre-arranged
trips reported last night that some
14.000 guests took advantage of their .
service and the best estimates show
that at least another 6000 were cared
for by private citizens. Late estimates
from registration headquarters agree
that there are 7S.00O guests here, who
will want to view the sights, both in .
the city and vicinity.
Columbia Migrh way Fopalsr, -By
far the most popular trip from
Portland is that up the Columbia
highway, but. in addition to this, there
are the river trips, the "Arrow boule
vard trip" to view Portland, the trips
to the sawmills and also numbers of
others to interesting points. All of
these attract their share of attention.
Yesterday 8000 Shriners were taken
out on the highway. Nearly that many
more were disappointed, owing to the
lack of accommodation. Noble Ira F.
Powers has charge of the sightseeing
section of the convention and literally
bugs Portland for more cars. Fifteen
hundred autos reported yesterday for
duty at the Sixth and Yamhlll-streets .
headquarters and twice that number
could have been used to good advan
tage. Today the highway and city
trips will start at 8 A. M. Owners
who will assist in caring for the visi
tors, can report from then on during
any hour of the day. driving north on
Sixth street from Taylor street and
picking up those ready for them.
The greatest need ia for cars gen
erally all during the day as the at
tendants at this busy headquarters
find that their guests come ir a steady
stream. Just at the evening dinner
hour, when mnay of the business and
professional men complete their day s
work there are plenty of cars on hand
as many of these men ortve past ana '
pick up a crowd before going home. .
Chairman Powers thinks that if some
at the employers of the city would re-
lease some of their employes who own ,
machines this might tend to reduce -.
the number of disappointed visitors. . .
However, he wants it understood that -the
Shrine sightseeing committee is .
on the Job as "bitter-enders and will
see their work through to the finish '.
and will , make certain that all the .
nobles and their families see all there
is to be seen, if they will only stay
with it long enough.
Four thousand were carried yester- ,
day on cars furnished by the Portland
Railway, Light & Power Co. both on
their round trip over the heights and -through
the rose growing sections
of the city, and on the specials to the
lumber mills. Both trips were equal
ly popular and tomorrow they will
have just as many cars on the job.
Trips Take About One Hour.
Either, of these trips takes about -an
hour and both have their particu
lar appeal. The sight of real fezzed
nobles riding the logs as they are ;
sent through the huge saws possibly
is the most unique that many of the
guests hav viewed in their western
trip.
The Harkins line steamer Hassalo
took a capacity crowd out yesterday -afternoon
and their glimpse of the
flags of nrjany nations of the world
flying from the huge cargo carriers
was one that they will not likely for
get soon. Yesterday this trip went
to Vancouver to see the launching ot
the Antinous and the fleet river
steamer hove to while the huge SS00- .
ton cargo craft first kissed the wat
ers. Today the river trips will again
be a feature of the entertainment, the
boats leaving the foot of Alder street
at 2:30 P. M.
The street car trips will continua
along the same lines, the cars stop
ping at almost any point downtown
to pick up Shrine passengers. All of
these trips are free and are carried
on continuously except during the
period when parades interfere. It has
been pointed out by the men in charge
of the care of visitors that operators
of cars and autos should bear in mind
that, while it is not meant to make
any discrimination in the matter of
handling passengers - entitled to the
accommodation, the uniformed mem
bers of the bands and patrols should
be given the preference in the mat
ter of seats, because they generally
only have a limited time at their dis
posal, as their duties only release
them for short periods.
A "dignified" Shriner from Boston '
and another equally "dignified" from
Texas last night had a brilliant in
spiration. They saw a dump cart
wending its way. through the 8treet3
making ready to do a little street
cleaning. The ' visitors and half a
dozen friends captured the dump cart
and singing merrily "We're on our
way," soon had a procession follow
ing them. The good-natured anver,
a big. kindly Dane, without a mur
mur led his horse up street and down
as the Bostonian directed. He seemed
to relish his chance to lead a pa
rade. AITOS WANTED TO CARRY
VISITORS SIGHTSEEING.
Noble Ira F. Powers desires to
give all Shriners and visitors to
the city a glimpse of Portland
and the Columbia river by
means of his sightseeing autos,
and he has Issued an appeal to
the citizens to help in this work
by bringing their cars and tak
ing their share of the guests on
either the Columbia highwiy or
the "Arrow boulevard route" in
the city.
Yesterday 8000 persons were
given one- or the other of these
trips, and nearly that number
could not be cared for. The in
dications are that today will
Ehow an even greater number
on hand expecting to be carried
around. "Portland must not
fail," said Noble Powers. "Give
your employes who have ma
chines and will help a day off.
and come today yourselves. Re
port at Sixth and Yamhill
streets any time from 8 A. M.
on."
