Glllan. of Chicago. After a little ointment was applied, he. was named Bill III and will remain under this alias until July 14. - - " DDITIONAL, MARKET INSPECTOR SINGER, was standing In the lobby of a downtown hotel ' yesterday con versing with an acquaintance. At tached to his coat " lapel was a 1912 Elks' button which probably attracted We haven't mapped out any lntrl- tne attention of a congenial . out-of- an associate editor of the St. Paul Dls patch and later was private secretary to ReDresentatlve Tawney, or Minne sota, also serving as Washington cor resDondent for Chicago and Omaha pa pers. If was -after his experience- in Washington that he entered a theo logical seminary. He is now pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church of Du buque, la. cate campaign," he says. "We're just going to get It that's all." And his companions back him up nobly in his declaration. . . A portion of the party is In Seattle at present, but they will come to Portland todav or tomorrow and the Atlanta del egation will then present a solid front for "Atlanta, Georgia, in 114 COVERED up to the eyes t. -th striped canvas blankets, the two elk that had been placed on the awnings at the entrances of the Multnomah Hotel last night, might have been mistaken for nothing more entertaining than a cou ple of stuffed ponl . had It not been for the antlers that branched grandly forth- from the folds of their swathing of canvas. ....... The two elk were put In place only yesterday, and It was feared that the night dews might have a damaging ef fect upon their' fur. Arrangements probably will be made soon so that the antlered pair my stand free and un- blanketed at all . hours or tne aay ana night' during . the week of the conven tion.. it A NDREWS gave me ' the - inside dope' today on how you got elected to your office. Colonel,"- said J. C. Futrall, of Fayettevllle, Ark., to Cary L. Applegate, of Salt Lake City, one of the grand truster i oi tne tins, yester day. "Don't a-Ive it away, whatever it was, warned Applegate. But Futrall refused to be Intimidated. "He says he lined up the Southern delegations and told them that you are a Mormon with 17 - wives, and that cinched the whole bunch of them." "You ought to be shot at sunrise,' grinned Colonel Applegate. "That's just as much of a libel o the Southern dela sratlons. however, as It Is on me. so I'm not going to take the trouble to move out of my calr to aemana , sausiac tlon from you." Colonel Applegate refers to Billy Bax ter, the "baking powder man." of Salt Lake City, as his especial bodyguard. The Salt Lake crowd thought that Cary needed a confidential advi:-r to keep him out or harm s way. expiainta Billy Baxter, so came ai-ng in mat capacity. To make -.rranger-ents com nlete I have brought Mrs. Baxter along to see that I keep out of trouble also." Ta E .Roseburg lodge, being without- mascot on their arrival, in Portland yesterday, formally adopted one-, with much pomp and ceremony. Bill III. formerly Mike IIL a bench winner at many dog shows, is the adopted mascot for the week. W. M. Flood, a member of the Roseourg Dana, acted as the committee of one to find the mascot, and seeing E. E. Sibray, of Scappoose, with a fine-looking speci men of the "hobo's" terror, opened ne gotiations for possession of the dog for the week. . . However, .the name of the dog, Mike III, would not do for the Elks, so he town Elk who was passing through the lobby. "Hello, Bill! Have a cigar?" was the cordial Invitation of the stranger, ad dressing Singer, one of the uninitiated, who, with his friend, accepted and each took a bit Havana. "Belong to 142?" inquired the stranger. "No," was Singer's response. - "Where do you belong?" "288 Lincoln," replied Singer truth fully. The trio lighted their cigars, but before the conversation could proceed farther. Singer excused himself, whis perlne to his friend as he left: "Guess I had better be getting out of here be fore I am . asked any embarrassing questions. : Besides, it Is . my turn to buy." - .. " . ' Referring to. the Elks' directory, the visitor 'made the discovery that the number of the Elks lodge at Lincoln Neb., Is 80. Upon consulting a Port land cltv directory later at the sugges tfon of a friend, the man who bought the clears found that 288 Lincoln records the residence of the man he had presumed was an Elk.- - - SHAKESPEARE, dictating three plays and a sonnet simultaneously, had nothing on Harry McAllister in his labors at the Elks' headquarters . at Seventh and .Oak yesterday. Between firing dictation - to his stenographer, answering Questions, opening . tele- R-rams and grabbing the- tele phone - to - hold hurried conversations "between whiles." he made his act a "continuous performance" yesterday afternoon from lunch to dinner time. "I'll come in later, when you aren't so busy," suggested one who had called for a short conference. Harry paused in his activities to run his fingers through his hair and cast a rapid glance over the ruture. "Better -call about week alter next. If that's the case," he suggested, toss ing a mouthful of dictation toward the stenographer and reaching for the tel ephone, which had begun Jingling once more. MONG the visiting Elks Is Ben Cable, of Monmouth, 111., an animal sculptor of renown who has a studio in Chicago. Mr. "Cable is an uncle of Mrs. Guy W. Talbot, who owns a bronze piece made by him called "Homewood, fwhlch took first prize at the Chicago Artists' Exhibition in 1910. Mr. Cable has two examples of his art on exhibition at the new Oregon Hotel, "The Call of the Wild." an elk In natural bronze, and a group of buck elk and doe, the doe reclining,-In green bronze. The latter was pur chased by the Galesburg, 111., Elks' Lodge. A RRIVING In advance of the grand lodge party was ,Nathan Baker, editor of the Interstate Elk, published at Kansas City, Mo. He is one of the most consistent and persistent boom ers of the Mills candidacy, but from the fact that every Elk who comes to Portland seems to be In favor of Mills anyway, he doesn't have much work to do. HEN Rev. John Dysart, grand he demanded a press badge. He was not content ;with membership badge. grand lodge badge and a half dozen other emblems to which his position entitles him, and declared that Inas much as he Is an ex-newspaper man, he has a right to wear a press badge. Rev, Mr. Dysart for many years was STEVE CONNELL, in charge of the United States Secret Service office in Portland, advises . visiting Elks to beware of worthless $20 Canadian bank notes. Considerable of this spurious currency already has been discovered. and he suggests that visitors to the city as well as others be particularly cautious in accepting paper money in exchange for drafts and checks. The notes were issued by the Bank of Prince Edward Island, which suspended bust ness In 1S87. Mr. Connell is making every effort to detect the persons re sponsible for the circulation of the worthless japer, and will appreciate the co-operation ot the public in bring intr about the apprehension of -the guilty persons. A A HAPPY , party "of six New ' York State Elks arrived yesterday.. They were Edward Leach, grand treasurer, and Mrs. Leach; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ohraeis, of the Bronx Lodge, and Mr. and Mrs. Phillip B. Parker,. of White Plains, N. Y. They left New York City more than two weeks ago - and- have been spend ing some of the intervening time in Ari zona and California. - Mr. Parker is Deputy District Attor ney for Southeastern New York.- Mr. Ohmeis Is an advance guard for a large delegation of Bronx visitors who will arrive today. . - ISS MARY CASEY, of Superior, Wis.," Is here as stenographer to the board ft grand lodge trustees.

HE Everett (Wash.) lodge moved Into the Imperial Hotel yesterday and' established headquarters. Big banners and placards of the Everett crowd make one of the elaborate features of the interior decorations of the hotel. A LTHOUGH no tournament will be started for the benefit xof the Elks, the grounds of the Portland Gun Club at Kenton will be open to any Elks who wish to try trap shooting. These traps have been declared the best on the Pacific Coast by a number of prominent gunmen. The weekly shoot of the gun club members will be held today, and any Elks wishing to Join in the sport are invited to come out during the forenoon. The grounds can be reached by taking the Missis sippi avenue car at Third and Alder. GARFIELD JONES, H. G. Chaffee and Henry Newby, prominent business men of Pasadena, shared the same cabin on .the. Bear coming up to Port land yesterday. The steamer docked sooner than they had anticipated. Chaffee and Newby, who have the reputation among their friends of eat ing "six square meals a day and hol lerin' for more," bundled all their avail able "duds" Into a suitcase and hastened down the gang plank In search of a restaurant. ... Jones, who happened to be In his berth, arose and prepared to dress leisurely and follow them, but to "his dismay, discovered that in their haste, "the hungry ones" had - packed all the available trousers in their suit cases and left him with no more com plete covering than would characterise the highland Scott. After repeated calls, he-succeeded In attracting the attention of a steward who rushed down the gangplank and intercepted Jones' companions In time to save him the necessity of passing the afternoon In his berth. Oh TSIDE the Elks' registration headquarters yesterday might be seen from time to time a splendid thoroughbred white Arab horse, be decked in the purple and white. In the buggy behind it sat J. R. Wilson, familiarly known as "Dad." He was waiting to get hold of the Salt Lake delegates, due to arrive yesterday. S In the front of his buggy Dad had placed In a conspicuous position a ban ner bearing the inscription, "Salt Lake City Lodge No. S6." A cub reporter for one . of the newspapers, . who flad been told to secure any extraordinary happenings, went up to Dad and asked whether he had driven all the way from Salt Lake? "You can bet I gave him the whole dope on my wonderful Journey, and I'm a pretty good hand at a yarn. Why. man alive, he'd only got to look at my horse and buggy to see I couldn't have driven far, but he seemed so anxigus for a story that he got it." As a matter of fact Dad Wilson was one of the original charter members of the Salt Lake lodge, and has been In Portland for 12 years. UNNY. Isn't it,'' murmured Jovial E. F. Matlock, of Heppner, "wfcat retorts come back at you from a wontan sometimes, when you least expect them? Especially so when you happen to say anything nice of another girl. Last night I was walking down Sixth street with a friend of mine, when I spotted a smart young thing coming towards us. -Gee, what tiny feet that girl has. Did you notice them, Ethel?' I said. "No, I can't say that I have, though I did notice what small shoes she wear!,' came back the answer. Now what rea son was there for her to flare up? That's what I want to know." , i i CHARLIE Manning, of Everett, who has 'the reputation of being --the biggest little Elk In Washlngton, has certainlv lived up to his name since his arrival In Portland. The Imperial Hotel Is the headquarters of the Ev erett lodge, and ever since his arrival Charlie has been busy decorating -the hotel till the management began, to wonder why they had gone to any ex pense themselves in the matter. t An enormous' silk banner, flags and streamers decorate the hotel, all pro vided by the ubiquitous Charles, while the display in the window of photos of the herd of Elks, that their lodge Imported Into Everett, attract Immense attention. et - ' - X a HIGH times by a small herd of "the boys' at the Imperial Hotel ' last night led to a discussion on "dry" towns and the difficulty of stirring up. any enthusiasm In them. . "That reminds me,'' said Sam van Vactor, who had Just got in with the crowd from Heppner. "of a place down In Kansas called Leavenworth, one of the most arid spots I've ever struck." "What, do you mean to tell me that you couldn't get a drink there at all?" queried one of the listeners. "No, slree, not unless you'd been bit ten by a snake. There was only - one there and when I arrived about mid day, the darned thing was too tired, to bite." . A CARLOAD of big. luscious Cali fornia oranges will be distributed among delegates to the Elks' conven tion by the lodges representing Ahe nrona-A belt. This is only one of the methods adopted by the live California bunch of putting their section - on the map in Portland. In this party are rep resented the larger Pasadena. Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, Riverside, Redlands, Santa Anna, Pamona and whutler. F. A. Rowe came In advance of the California party and made ar rangements for this feature. A SURE sign or tne popuiarny oi Judge Frank Hennessy's song "Brother Bill the Town Belongs to You" is the fact that everybody T Is beginning to whistle it. The melody of the chorus, with Its finale. "We're here because we're here." is beginning to be heard at headquarters and all the hotels. "Brotrter Bill the Town Be longs to You" bids fair to become one of the popular features of the conven tion.
