Of course, Portland could not pass
by quietly her own Al Kader nobles
. over 4000 of them in the most immac
ulate, spicK and span dress suits
and the worthy Portland Shriners re-
ceived an ovation that was given In
generous measure also to the Al Ka

Tripoli of Milwaukee had two score
of the most dapper "young men about
' town" ever seen outside of a musical
comedy. With their immaculate spats,
their buttonhole orchids and their
natty canes, they made an immense
'hit, a hit that was all the more wor
thy because of the perfect nature of
'" their formations.
Drill Evolution latrlcate.
From a platoon front they swung
Into the initial "M" and back again,
and they did evolutions on the street.
Every patrol did itself proud. The
maneuvers were varied and intricate,
, ranging from Murat's pyramid to Ra
jah's drill evolutions performed and
illuminated by shoes bearing red, yel
low and grreen lights, the Shrine col
ors, Rajah's Reading potentate rode
" in a magnificent electrically-decorat
ed automobile.
A wild west touch was given by
Pendleton's cowboy Shriners. They
reared and they bucked to the heart's
content of the crowd.
Harem Scene Impreaaive.
Short of El Zagat's mosque, Lu Lu's
palatial harem scene was the most
impressive in the parade.
Escorted by a snappy mounted pa
. trol. the Lu Lu nobles presented to
Portland an insight into the inside
harem life of their potentate. Noble
Charles H. Bair.
Anyway, Potentate Bair was shown
on a wonderfully illuminated and
decorated float, shewing the inside of
the temple gardens. Between elec
' trie pillars could be seen his favorites.
reclining on the grass, while two
gigantic eunuchs stood guard. Great
flagons of the potentate's favorite
liquid refreshment stood waiting for
him on a nearby table.
The Lu Lu chanters extolled the
" fame of Freeland Kendrick in "Free
land Kendrick 13 the Man." The Lu Lu
patrol in their white suits and white
umbrellas marked "Lu Lu" made a
decided hit.
Oriental Dunce Performed.
In the midst of the patrol Adolph
Whlttrock did an oriental dance.
Quite a contrast was furnished by
Algeria temple, ol Helena's wild west
band.
They played! Zowie, how they
played. . And when for a moment
things got tame they fired, a few thou
sand rounds into the air or into, the
crowds.
Moslem of Dettoit took a flying
leap into the far east, swinging clean
around the world, and presented Po
tentate W. J. Murray in an electric
lighted rickshaw, drawn by a six-foot
negro. Moslem j chanters did not ne
gleet a singing moment, either.
A dainty little Arabian morsel hid
herself in the midst of Al Koran of
Cleveland. She did all the oriental
wiggles and hootchies that were pos
sible and some that seemed impos-
siDie.
"Her" name was R. J. Selzer and
she was gowned in an oriental cos
tume of batik that drove every wom

a perfect 36, "she" boasted.
Old Port iiebnllt.
A perfect replica of old Fort Dear

Long Distance Traveled.
We have traveled 10,000 miles to

far to come to the Rose City as the

erously to the mobilization of dress

ing dress, never in the history of
Portland has there been such a dis
play of "soup and fish." It looked as
though all the "first part" minstrels
In the world were marching, and all
the starched shirt bosoms ever made
were brought out for an airing. Also
Afifi offered a float with desert

Buns Memories Revived.
Memories of Bobbie Burns and the
banks an' braes o' Bonnie Doon were
revived when the tall, stalwart nobles
of Al Azhar temple, Calgary, Man
marched by in their brilliant plaid
kilties with snow-white blouses. The
bagpipe bandsmen played the old
familiar Scotch airs as the Arab
patrol swung down the streets,-their
kilties flapping in rhythm in the
evening breeze. ,

plause as their band and patrol
stepped along tire pavement with huge
sashes of Portland roses draped
about them. It was " an effective
tribute of deep praise to the Rose City
and the dense crowds quickly caught
the spirit of the testimonial and
shouted themselves hoarse in ap
preciation. Marching at the front of
the Tulsa temple squad was a color-
bearer carrying aloft a huge floral
piece of Portland roses. The color
effect of the rose sashes and the rich
scarlet uniforms of the marchers was
one of the features of the parade.

As an added feature to the parade,
came the Vancouver, B. C, police
band, marching as escort to Al Azhar
temple from Calgary. It was the first
time in history that the band com
posed of active members of the Van
couver, B. C, police department had

The tallest no an in the line of march
was J. Harold Blackney, drum major
for the Elf Khurafeh temple of Sagi

6 feet 7 inches in his stocking feet,
and with his tall plumed head-dress,
he loomed as a modern Goliath. "
If ngrr- Anplanse Provoked.
Portland has become aecustomed to
seeing men in formal dress, especially
after watching thousands of .men who
paraded last night, but even so, when
the 44-piece band of Abou Ben Adhem
temple of Springfield, Mo., appeared
in the evening attire, it provoked
tremendous applause.
It matters not to members of the
Oasis band whether it is night or day
when they are called for parade, be
cause by 'the aid of batteries they
have arranged for illumination of
their bass drum, and what matters It
as long a3 the drum can be seen
plainly.
Hpnolnlu Memories Broazht.
With a royal leis about each of
their necks, the members of the pa
trol of Aloha temple of Honolulu
brought memories of the pleasant life
on the sunny isle of the Pacific. Sev

SALEM. Or., June 23. (Special.)
"We like Portland; but, oh, you Sa-
lam." With these words set to
catchy music ana expressed in con
cert, more than 2500 Shriners and
their ladles in attendance at the na
tional conclave of the order now in
progress in Portland reached here
between 10 and 11 o'clock thla morn
ing and passed four hours enjoying
me many entertainment features ar
ranged by the local Shriners' club and
the hospitality of Marion county citi
zens.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
visitors they were taken in tow by
waiting btinners and escorted to the
statehouse, where they were riven
an opportunity to inspect the various
governmental departments. Sam A.
Kozer, secretary of state, had given
orders that the interior of the build
ing should be in its best attire and
hundreds of flags, bunting, Shriners'
emblems and roses were in evidence.
Near, the north, entrance of the
statehouse a receiving line was
formed, where Mr. Kozer, John Coch
ran, deputy secretary of state, and
a half dozen pretty girls dressed in
white welcomed the visitors. They
were then shown through the state
department, treasurer's office and
later to tables arranged in the corri
dors, where they were supplied with
bouquets of roses. Mrs. Edward Pat
terson presided over these booths.
assisted by a number of ths charming
women empioyea in tne statehouse.
They then were escorted to the sec
ond floor, where It is estimated Gov
ernor Olcott, Don Upjohn, private
secretary to the executive, and Mis
Violt Welborn, stenographer, per
sonaiiy greeiea more man 3900 o
the party. Many of the Shriners had
read of Governor Olcott's flying
activities and he was compelled to
exhibit his collection of photograph
taken on his recent flight from Blaine,
W ash., to ban Francisco. Each vioilo
was given an attractive card, bearing
the name of the executive Shrine
mblem and the wording "Al Kader
temple," of which Mr. Olcott is- a
member. Pictures of Crater Lake,
Multnomah Falls and the scenic moun
tains known as the "Three Sisters'
attracted special attention.
Under personal escort of the gov
ernor and secretary or state hundreds
of guests inspected the senate cham
ber and house of representatives, and
Invariably spent several minutes
viewing the portraits of the various
Oregon governors.
At noon they were taken to Wilson

luncheon was served under the direc
tion of the home shrine club, as
sisted by members of the Y. V. C. A.
ai.d matrons of the city. The rays of
a perfect sun, bubbling fountains and
the brilliant .uniforms of the .patrols
blended in making a scene which will
long be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to be there
Following the luncheon, many went
through the state hospital under the
personal guidance of Dr. R. Lee
Steiner, superintendent, while others
went to the state penitentiary. Crde-s
cad been Issued that ail the state in
stitutions should be open and the
officials joined in making the Inspec
tion tours complete and enjoyab.e.
Many of the Shriners and their
ladies visited the statehouse dome
where they were given an opportunity
to view the entire city. Others were
guests on street-car trips, wh'ie still
others visited the nearby orchard dis
tr'.cts. . Not a few took occasion to
inspect th stores and shops, while in
several ; instances they met friends
whom they had known in distant
parts of the country.
.There were 645 automobiles in the
procession and not an accident oc
curred to mar trie pleasure of the
trip. The journey from Portlanl to"
Salem was made over the east side
highway, while the return trip was
on the west side of the Willamette
river. With only a few exceptions the
cars were, donated by residents of
Marlon county.
Although the visitors exceeded in
number the expectations of the hosts,
plenty of cars were assembled and
the programme was carried out ac
cording to schedule. As they departed
from the city they expressed the be
lief that Oregon hospitality cou:d not
be excelled, and that the people of
Marion county rivalled those of Port
land.
Media temple of Chicago probably
sent the largest number of nob.es to
Salem, while Lu Lu temple of Phila
delphia, Damascus temple, Rochester,
and El Jebel temple, Tacoma, were
well represented. Scattering delega
tions from practically all orner
temples In Portland also helped to
swell the number.
One outstanding feature of the pro
gramme was a concert by the oOth
Gordon Highland pipers of Victoria,
B. C.
Special mention was made by the
visitors of Salem's pretty girls, its
wide streets, well-kept lawns and
beautiful homes.
Governor Olcott returned here from
Portland this morning to assist in
entertaining the visitors and departed
for. the metropolis tonight.

Terminal Will Be Taxed to Capac
ity in Order to Care for
City's Guests.
The general Shrine committee and
the management of the Northern Pa
cific . Terminal company have joined
in a request to the public to wish
their guests a safe Journey homeward
and bid them farewell outside the
union station precincts. The depart
ure of the hosts of Shrinedom will
tax the facilities of the. transporta
tion lines more than did the Incom
ing specials, for the reason that at
the same time that the special trains
are being moved from parking spaces
into the yards, with their occupants
arriving from all directions, and as
individuals rather, than as organiza
tions to board the cars, there will
also be a flood of visitors who cam's
on specials and are leaving for side
trips and. taking reservations on reg
ular trains.
Therefore, compliance with the re
quest will materially benefit visitors
in making it eaer for them to reach
their trains by avoiding congestion
at the union station. The Portland
depot is exceptionally arranged to
receive pasengers, because they can
be passed through and to the waiting
automobiles or carlines with rapidity,
but in passing through the gates for
outgoing trains the limited area
within the train shed inclosure,
where the gatekeepers must Inspect
tickets, makes It important that con
gestion be avoided.
Validation of tickets has been han
dled with Kreat satisfaction to most
of the visitors. Only on rare occa
sions have there been waiting lines,
and then for a "very short time.
With the tickets checked up an 1
reservations made for the throng that
will leave the city in the next 3t
hours, indications are that the start
of the return trip to the temples of
North America will be made as aus
piciously as was the arrival handled
by the transportation lines.
Ararat temple is doing its derndest
to let the world know that Kansas
City, Mo., is still above the sod. With
its fast-stepping jazz orchestra, its
patrol of 48 members and TS-picce
band, it has been on the move ever
since it pitched its tent - in Mecca.
About 600 pounds of Kansas City
candy Vjyre distributed among the
dense crowds after the big parade
Tuesday, while Kansas City balloons
and buttons also were scattered with
a lavish hand.
Among the Ararat delegation of
nobles are James E. Chandler, past
potentate and imperial oriental guide
of the imperial divan; Frank H.
Cromwell, potentate of the temple;
Percy A. Budd, officer in charge of
the Arab patrol, and H. O. Wheeler,
leaders of the temple band. Ararat
sent 258 nobles to Portland and would
have sent double that number had It
been able, to procure transportation.
"Where are your overalls?" was a
common remark addressed to mem
bers of the Za Ga Zig temple drum
and bugle corps of Des Moines all
week long. These Iowans staged a
burlesque parade in overalls after
their arrival at Mecca Monday night,
but they've been conspicuously miss
ing since then. In their "rube" re
galia the Des Moines bunch had a
big time entertaining the crowds
with their famous war song: "We're
a bunch of corn-fed Shriners from old
Iowa."
"Tripoli temple has been sending
delegates to imperial council sessions
for 35 years, but never before have
its representatives expressed such
great admiration of hospitality and
genuine, whole-hearted spirit of wel
come as in Portland," asseverates Dr.
Chester M. Echole, potentate of thi
Milwaukee temple.
"We had heard much, and we were
told frequently before leaving homo
that if we ever visited this beautiful
city of roses we would never want to
go back home. I am beginning to
think our informant was right. It
will be difficult, indeed, to leave this
wonderful city at the close o
, session."
