SACRAMENTO GIVES FRUIT
Delegates From Iyoeal Herd Have
Strenuous Day of Sightseeing at
Different Places Where
Stop, Are Made.
ON PORTLAND ELKS SPECIAL
Salinas, Cal., July 10. (Special.)
After a strenuous day of sightseeing
through California, during which the
Portland delegation was entertained an
hour each at Sacramento. Stockton and
San. Jose, the antlored aspirants for
the 1913 Elks reunion are resting as
much as possible prior to their arrival
at the Angel City.
California's capital met the Orego
nlans at the depot with the famous
Capital City Band, and the travelers
were escorted to the Elks hall, where
a short but most pleasant reunion was
held. On leaving Sacramento it was
found that the baggage car had been
stocked with a luscious supply of
fruits. 'Watermelons, grapes, peaches
and pears, all crated and marked with
the compliments of the donors, were
stacked high. The supply is more than
ample to last the excursionists on this
trip.
Sacramento Promises Aid.
Sacramento Is sending 300 to Los
Angeles and has promised to support
Portland's bid for the grand lodge
meeting in 1912.
At Stockton it was much the same,
for the train was met by a committee
from the Stockton lodge and a band.
After the usual greetings, automobiles
were put at the disposal of the ladies,
and they were shown the city. This
lodge has one of the handsomest houses
in the entire country, and the, Stock
ton bunch does not hesitate to boast
of their home.
San Jose was the next stop. 'and a
most appreciable one. The San Jose
Elks met the special train at the depot
and escorted the party to their hall.
Auto trips through the many parks and
driveways were had. and many of the
Portlanders have decided .to spend a
day at least In San Jose on their return
trip.
Old Friends Greeted.
J. J. Kelly, a former Portlander, met
the special at the depot, and met with
a most surprising reception, headed by
Gus Moser and Henry Griffin. Kelly
was rushed by a committee, hoisted on
their shoulders, and carried proudly In
front of the big crowd which had as
sembled at the depot.
The Portland excursion will stop for
one hour at Santa Barbara in the morn
ing before going to Los Angeles.
Portland, No. 142, will have four
votes at the Grand Lodge meeting, as
follows: Dr. C. W. Cornelius, Dr. Harry
F. McKay, John B. Coffey and H. D.
Grlfttn.
Miss Dottle, the young daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Shea, who Is accom
panying her parents, is the pet of the
party. She is the only child on the
train.
ANTLERED ONES THRONG CITY

Way In Los Angeles.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. July 10. Arrayed
In the gay uniforms of their drill corps,
thousands of the vanguard of the Elks
paraded the down-town streets tonight
and made merry with bands that played
ragtime quicksteps, adding a riot of
sound to the chromatic glare of many
colored lights shining on the purple ban
ners of the order which floated from
thousands of trolley poles, entwined with
the National red, white and blue.
Special trains from various sections of
the country arrived early, among the first
being the train bearing Grand Exalted
Ruler Rush L. Holland and Grand Secre
tary Fred C. Robinson, delayed for 24

MUST PAY ALL FOR WATER
New Irrigation Rule Will Cause
, Many Settlers to Lose Farms.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. July 10. It became known today
that un'der the new regulations recently
issued by the Interior Department home
steaders on Government irrigation proj
ects who have not made full payment for
their water, but who have completed five
years" residence, cultivation, etc.." in full
satisfaction of the homestead laws, will
no longer be per ml lied to sell their en
tries in whole or in part, as was per
mitted by order of Secretary Garfield.
Under the new regulation no settler on a
Government project can sell any portion
of his entry until he has made complete
payment for the water.
This modification it Is feared will be a
hardship to poor settlers who heretofore
have been allowed to seu out after satis
fying the requirements of the homestead
act. If unable to complete payments,
they will be dispossessed of their land and
forfeit all payments theretofore made.
YAKIMA LAND AGAIN OPENED

ment has canceled an order withdraw

nection with the Yakima irrigation
project In Washington, and the same

POKES FUN AT ASQUITH
Shaw's New Play, Suppressed by
Censor, Given Privately.
LONDON. July 10. The private produc
tion Friday of Bernard Shaw's prohibited
playlet, "Press Cuttings," seems to have
done more towards achieving the aboli
tion of the censorship of the drama than
all of the serious agitation. The morning
papers say they cannot understand why
the censor put a ban upon "such an in
offensive" sketch. The play Is clever and
amusing, one act being a burlesque of
current political topics, especially the suf
fragette agitation.
One of the most humorous situations
is where a suffragette, who has been
arrested and taken before the War Min
ister, doffs the disguise of women's
clothes and reveals himself as "Pre
mier Balsqulth" and admits that his
disguise Is the only means of passing
through the streets In safety from the
suffragettes.
BOLIVIAN MOBS PROTEST
Boundary Decision With Pern Said
to Involve Loss of Land.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 10. Thousands
of Bolivians attended the meeting in a
public square today to protest against
the arbitrary decision of Argentina in
the boundary dispute between Bolivia
and Peru, it is reported that the Bo
livian government will refuse to ac
cept the decision, claiming that It Im
plies the loss of national territory.
The government has apologized for
the attacks made by the citizens ou the
Peruvian and Argentine legations, and
has promised to prevent a repetition of
these attacks. The street mobs, how
ever, continue to be very disorderly.
$30,000 Fire at Reno.
RENO, Nev., July 10. The abattoir and
refrigerating plant of the Humphrey
Supply Company at the city limits of
Reno was destroyed by fire at noon to
day. The loss amounts to $30,000.
INSIST ON RIGHTS
American Bankers Demand
Share in Chinese Loan.
REFUSE TO COMPROMISE
Hold Out for State Department
Terms and Almost Break Off
Negotiations Lay Down
Law to Chinese Rulers.
LONDON, July 10. Representatives
of American bankers now In London
will leave for Paris early next week
to make another effort to reach an
agreement with European financiers
for American participation In the Han-kow-Sze
Chuen Railway loan of 27 -500,000.
The greatest reticence Is maintained
with respect to the meetings held in
London this week. It Is understood,
however, that the German and French
bankers came here under the delusion
that the Americans were prepared to
accept a compromise. They found, how
ever, that the Americans Insisted on
the acceptance of the State Depart
ment's terms and the breaking off of
negotiations was only prevented at the
suggestion, made by the continental
representatives, that they be given
time to consult with their respective
governments, after which further meet
ings would be held in Paris and Ber
lin If necessary.
It is certain that the Americans will
not receds from their stand taken at
the London meeting and. If necessary,
will insist that Cnlna shall not sign
the loan agreement until the Ameri
can claim is recognized.
CHANGE OF NATIONAL POLICY
German Sees Deep Significance in
x American Claims. '
BERLIN. July 10. The participation
of the United States in the Chinese
railroad loan is lengthily referred to
by the Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zel
tung in its weekly semi-official article
on foreign affairs:-
It says that the claim of the United
States to participate In the loan takes
the character of a well-considered step
of fundamental significance for a
change in the country's international
policy. It concludes by saying:
"President Taf t thus for the first time
has definitely shown that his opinion
differs from that of Roosevelt."
TEXAS SALOONS CLOSED
Over 100 Thirst-Quenching Parlors
Forced to Obey New Law.
AUSTIN, Tex., July 10. At midnight
tonight more than 100 saloons In Texas
closed operations because of the com
ing into effect of the law invalidating
all liquor licenses Issued after Febru
ary 20. 1909, limiting the number of
saloons In each county to one for every
500 of population, and barring new li
censes in conjunction with a hotel.
PUEBLO IS SUDDENLY "DRY"
Quarrel in Council Makes Colorado
City Unhappy.
PUEBLO, Colo.. July 10. Because the
city fathers cannot agree upon the list
of favored ones who are to receive liquor
licenses for the coming year. Pueblo to
day Is "dry" for the first time in its hls-
avery saioon was ordered closed
at midnight last night, and today drawn
blinds and closed doors greet the thirsty
wayfarers.
Under the new city ordinance, not
more than 100 saloon licenses can be
issued. The Councllmen have been un
able to agree on the favored ones in
their respective wards, and since July
1 all saloons have been running without
licenses. A special meeting of the Coun
cil will probably be called to relieve the
drouth.
