From reports received by the general committee In charge or wag-lna- the his toric campaign at Atlantic City It looks as If Portland lodge will go to the con vention next July with the backing of several hundred lodges.

"Cpon Investigation the committee finds that Portland Lodge for the greater part of a year has continuously maln- talned a systematic campaign to secure the Grand Lodge meeting of 1913 for Its city: that as a part of such campaign It established and maintained headquar ters at the 110 Grand Lodge session In Itroit. Mich-, where with lavish hos pitality It entertained those In attend ance upon the Grand Lodge, and at great expense made known the merits of Ita candidacy by fr distribution of fruits, flowers, and other products of Portland and Its tributary country, as well as by circulation of artistically Illustrated literature descriptive of ita city and surrounding places of Interest ; and attraction: that both in writing and by oral presentation Its candidacy was duly and regularly made known to the Grand Lodge while In regular session, and the invitation thus extended waa ' made a matter of record: that ever since eu.-h invitation waa extended.

Portland Is Extolled. . "Tour committee, after careful consid eration of the matter. Is of the opinion that Portland is an Weal place for the Grand Ixdge to meet In Mid-Summer. From the standpoint of climate, acenlo beauty, convenience of access by rail and water, and facilities for enjoyable entertainment. It cannot be excelled. It has well-appointed buildings In which the sessions of the Grand Lodge can be held without discomfort to the mem bers or Inconvenience to the business. Its hotels and other accommodations are 'such as to amply provide for the com fort of all who attend. -The advantages arising from the op portunities to visit while en route pieces of world-wide attraction, like the great national parks In the United Ftates and Canada, are worthy of con sideration. That the grand lodge waa held In the Middle West last year and will be ' held on the Atlantic Coast this year. should be a factor In favor of Its going ' to Portland In 1911. v "Your committee would recommend tat St. Paul Lodge Indorse the can didacy of Portland aa the place of holding the grand lodge sessions of IMS. with the suggestion to its repre " tentative and other grand lodge mem bers that It would be pleased to have them support such candidacy by their votes at the grand lodge meeting at At lantic City."

Its correspondence Is almost as lavish in praise of Portland's great advantages as are those of the Pt. Paul lodge quoted above. So far. lodges all the way from the JCewT.ngland states, the Atlantic states, the South, the Southwest and, of course, the WeM. have been doing their best to bring the big convention here. The chief argument used In all In stances Is .the unstinted manner In whi-h Lodge No. 142. of Portland, went to the front during the Detroit con vention. The other strong contributing element la the lil.OOO subscription of the Portland Lodge and the free-handed pledges made by local business men. Another strong bit of publicity be ing worked up is the rollicking boost ers' song, which la dedicated to Port land Lodge In its t-ontt.u for the 191! convention and whl-h Is to be sung on the stages of local theatera the com ing week. The words and music are by local men. The song runs: . Portland Want lit In 191C.

For the remainder of the year the, regiment waa stationed In the barrarks at Cuartel de Espna. Early in 1M9 fighting around the city of Manila started, the insurgents beln? driven from their trenches by General Summers" men February i. Skirmishes and battles took place almost dally. General Summers leading his troops Into the thickest of the fighting, himself facing the enemies' bullets at times when expediency might have seemed the better part of valor. The fighting con tinued through the Spring of 1S99. the Oregon regiment taking part In no less than 6 engagements. Great Prals AVon. While General Bummers always haa attributed much of the glory that was won by the Second Oregon to the brav ery of his men. the correspondence that passed between General Lawton, Gen eral Merrltt, General Wheaton and others In higher command, reflects great credit upon him as a leader, aa a 'com mander and as a patriot. The regiment sailed for home Mar ;3. 1S9J. and wae mustered out the follow ing August 7. On the eve of his departure from the Philippines. General Merrltt wrote Gen eral Bummers a letter expressing In strong terms his appreciation of the manner In which he and his troops per formed the very difficult and delicate duties of acting as Provost Marshal and Provost Guard following the Capitula tion of Manila. General Lawton wrote In a similar vein at the time the regiment was re lieved from hla command. It was fol lowing the remarkable successful en gagements of Mallabon, Maasln, Bala Bridge and San Isldro that Colonel Bummers wae recommended by General Lawton for promotion to the grade of Brigadier-General, which rank was be stowed upon him by brevet. leader's Command Historic. The men who composed the Sec ond Oregon always spoke with rev erence and deep respect of their com mander. Their love and esteem con tinued even after the close of the war. As an illustration of his loyalty to hut men his famous command at the battle of Mallabon. March 2. 1S99. la oft repeated: "Give m hell. boys. I can't go ahead of you but I can go with you." he ordered. This was paased down the line and- Instilled the men with added seal and ardor. To this day It Is often heard at the meetings and reunions. Upon the return of the regiment to Portland the cltlxens of Oregon pre sented General Summers with a beau tiful Jeweled sword In recognition of his meritorious service at the head of the volunteers. The State Legislature passed a Joint resolution commending him and his men. General Summers' calmness in the face of danger and his bravery under trying circumstances were brought to light long before the late war, how ever. In Chicago. In the great fire of 1ST1. at the peril of his own life he saved not only the membera of his WARRIOR V f i "I .-;. . Si ''W.y ... . ; V. . 'V.' ' J ! ' ' -ft own family but those of two others.

In the meantime he received the ap pointment as United States Appraiser by the unanimous decision of the dele gation from Oregon and haa since filled that position. Besides his military and business activity General Summers found time for political affairs, aerving several terms In the State Legislature. It was through his efforts that the National Guard was reorganized In lfiSfi. It was after this reorganization that he was elected Lieutenant-Colonel of the First Oregon regiment.

Paris Hints That Baritone's Illness In Seattle Was Due to Karnes' Refusal to Marry Him. NEW VORK. Jan. 21. (Special.) From Paris, where Emma Eames Is now, and from Seattle, where Emllio de Gogorza lately was, come whisperings of trouble on the sea of psycho-musical affinity. De Gogorza was unable to appear in the Western city owing to a physical collapse. Was this collapse due to the refusal of the prima donna to unite her fortunes with a man whose name has so long been linked with hers? Eames has . nothing to ray, which makes the matter all the more remarkable. Friends of theirs are asking If Eames hss at last realized that perhaps after all she would do better to stop at the reported engagement between herself and the baritone and not allow him to lead her to the altar. When Mrs. De Gogorza brought the tilt a year ago to get a divorce and In cidentally to dlcover what a psycho musical affinity is. she openly charged Eames with robbing her of her hus band's affections. Before taking this step she declared she would not allow the divorce, assuming that. If she did, her husband would at once marry Eames. Then she changed her mind and pre served absolute silence as to what means the baritone had taken to make her do so. At any rate, now that Eames Is free to wed again and De Gogorza is like wise free, where is the hitch? AVIATOR THRILLS CROWD Taooma Yonth Makes Successful Flights Before Spectators. TACOMA.

Political wise ones have had it for some time that Judge Tazwell contem plated resigning from the Municipal bench and when Major Kennedy re signed as secretary of the Civil Service Commission, it was understood that he would aucceed Judge Tazwell February 1. This understanding la said to have been reached several days ago but the matter has been kept quiet. It Is said that Judge Tazwell has not been satis fled with the Municipal Judgship and has contemplated resigning for some time. Behind the resignation of Major Kennedy is said to be the promise of appointment to the Municipal bench. The resignation of Major Kennedy as secretary of the Civil Service Commis sion was as unexpected as the resigna tion of Judge Tazwell as Municipal Judge.
