ELKS RULER MILLS IN HIGH ESTEEM Citizens of Superior, Home City, Welcome Grand . Exalted Official. - THOUSANDS GIVE GREETING Streets in Gala Attire for Occasion and Parade to Theater, Where Programme Was Enjoyed, Is Elaborate One. As evidence of the high esteem in which Thomas B. Mills, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, is held by the citi zens of Superior. Wis., his home city, was the remarkable demonstration given in his honor last Saturday even ing upon his return from Portland where he was elected to his present high office. Mr. Mills was met at Duluth, Minn., on his return trip from Portland, by a large delegation of Superior business men. headed by the Mayor of the city and officers of the Commercial Club. When his train arrived at the depot in Superior 10,000 persons were there to greet him. An additional 10.000 crowd ed the streets along which a parade, formed for the occasion, passed to the Broadway Theater where a reception was tendered him and where prominent citizens bade him welcome. The streets through which the pa rade passed were in gala attire for the occasion and large quantities of red fire were burned Many of the paraders were In uniform and most of the automobiles were brilliantly dec orated. Plenty of Color Seen. "There was plenty of color as well as lots of enthusiasm." says the Supe rior Telegram, which devotes nearly two pages of a recent issue to a well written description of the reception and of the worth of 'Tom'' Mills, as he is known to everyone In Northern iscon- in. "There was also a noticeable under tone of real sentiment In the greatest demonstration that Superior ever gave to a favorite son or a distinguished visitor. Every activity of the little city mas represented In the procession, in eluding the police, the Wisconsin Na tional Guard, city officials, committees of the Superior Commercial Club, the Elks of Superior. Duluth and other neighboring cities, large marching squads from various other fraternal or ganizations and hundreds of private cit izens in automobiles and carriages." At the theater a speechmaking pro gramme was conducted, in which Mr. Mills, with characteristic modesty, ulaverl the most humble part. His nu merous achievements for the benefit of ills city and state and for the uplift of humanity generally were reviewed by successive speakers, while the mul titude that packed the building cheered repeatedly. Hts success in securing the State Normal School and the School for Deaf Mutes for Superior, as well as his public-spirited deeds along numerous oth er lines, were told and retold. His en viable career as a member of the Wis consin Legislature and his record as the youngest man that ever served as Speaker of the Assembly, were re viewed. 'Tom' Mills Kioni for Qnnlltles. Those who know him best know "Tom" Mills as one who loves his fel low men. aud one of the speakers dwelt upon this one of his many virtues laying in part: "I know the Tom Mills who was walking out Twelfth street for his afternoon constitutional, met a little fellow hauling water half a mile to his widowed mother, on a little wagon made for the purpose. The wheel had come off and the boy was in trouble. It was a cold day and Tom Mills was in perspiration from his exercise, but he stopped three-quarters of an hour to put the wheel on the boy's, wagon, . fix it permanently, helped him to get " vater in his cask again and started him happy on his way. "I know the Tom Mills who saw near the corner of Twenty-sixth and Ogden, a little wee bit of a girl crying be cause she had lost her hair ribbon she had been carrying It In her hand and had dropped it. Mr. Mills could not find the hair ribbon, so he walked hand in hand with the little one down town and bought her another, and then walked home witn ner. "A number of little boys were out li front of mv house day before yester day talking about the celebration for Saturday evening. One little fellow about 9 years old was exhibiting quite a little nrkle because ne Knew -Mr. .mis. inorhor little chai said 'How do you know Mr. Millsr '1 know him said the first little chap, 'why I know him taii:A hecause he is my irieno: This is the Tom Mills that I know, and I would rather have a little S-year-old chap say that I was his friend than have 100 cannons firing salutes in my honor and 1000 voices raiseo. in appro button" At the conclusion of the exercises the man in whose honor they were given was called upon for a speecn. His remarks were brief, as all his pub lic utterances are. He said: "To mv Brothers of Superior Lodge for their zeal in the campaign, to my brothers or other looges wno oy ineir votes nv token of their confidence and to you my friends and neighbors I bring my earnest tnanKs ana pro mise that It shall be my purpose to justify them and you." Although Mr. Mills has many ardent admirers throughout the provinces of the antlered order, he has none more loyal tlian the members of Portland lodge, and those Portland residents outside the lodge with whom he came in contact during the recent conven tion all of whom Join in spirit with the people of Superior in their tribute to the "best-loved man in Elkdom."

Every community through which the party will pass is planning elaborate enter tainment for the visitors and will do everything in Its power to make the journey a pleasant and a memorable one. "Two routes were outlined for the autos that will carry the party to Lake view," he says. "The first runs from I'.ond to LaPine, where a venison and trout luncheon will be served, then across the Fremont Forest Reserve through the Forest Rock homestead country. Hundreds of settlers have lo cated here within the past two years and more are coming in. "For those who have the time, a de tour will be made into the Christmas Lake Valley which holds nearly as much level land as the Willamette Val ley. This, too, is a big homestead country and Is partly filled. It is in teresting to note, in these new dis tricts, that dairying and hog raising are on the Increase. On our trip, we saw numerous dairy cattle. In fact the milkera were more plentiful than beef cattle-- Floral Or7erlua l'laoaed. 'Silver Lake is the next point reached, and every man. woman and child will greet the Portland visitors in person and give them flowers. In honor of the expedition, the town will be deco rated. Summer Lake Valley will be seen and then the route runs through Paisley into the Chewaucan Valley, thence to Lakeview. where the Cen tral Oregon Development League con vention will be held August 20-22. "The second official trip marked out is through a different country. The party which follows this route will start from Redmond, through Prinevllle and across Buck Mountain to Burns and the Blitzen Valley, reaching the Hanley ranches and viewing the beau tiful Catlow Valley. For a distance of so miles the autoists will travel across this valley and will see only two houses. Some day this section win noia a great nonulation. The excursionists will cr?ss Warner Mountain and drop down 2075 feet into the Warner Lake vai lev at Adel and will be whisked away to" Lakeview across Pedler's Ridge. Lakeview Homes Will Open. "Lakeview is going to do itself proud in entertaining the convention visitors and everyone will be splendidly taken care of. The homes of the people will be-thrown open to the Portland busi ness men. Atler tne convention ses sions, which will be full of Interest, are over, the party will start on the re turn trio via Klamath Falls, stopping at the White Pelican Hotel, one of the best In Oregon, and then will go on to Pelican Bay Lodge, the Summer home of the late E. H. Harrlman. Two nights will be spent there and a trip to Crater Lake will be made in the intervening dav. The party will then return to Bend via Fort Klamath.

IS and 17, depending on the route to be followed to Lakeview, and Council Committee Kalses Limit on Milk Temperature to 60 Degrees. At a meeting yesterday of represen tative dairymen of the city a vote was taken indorsing the proposed now citv ordinance providing strict rules and regulations for the production and handling of milk delivered In the city. The meeting was attended by F. T. Wilcox, C. "Gertsch, W. C. Spence, J. Yaun. J. C. Abey and G. F. Wardtn, The proposed ordinance was consid ered in detail. Judging from the tone of the meet ins the dairymen are greatly in favor of legislation which will require the classification of milk and the most careful and sanitary of regulations re ganllng Its production. The only part of., the stringent measure arartea Dy the Cltv Health Department which was found objectionable yesterday to the dairymen attending the meeting was the clause requiring the temperature to be lowered to 56 degrees before de livery. This, the dairymen declare, would necessitate their buying ice, as it Is hard to find water at this season of the year which is cold enough to re duce the milk temperature to oo ae grees within a reasonable time. In accordance with the wishes of the dairymen. City Milk Chemist Cal loway agreed to compromise on this feature of the measure, making the temperature regulation 60 degrees in stead of 55. Those present appointed a committee comprising G. F. Wardin, W. C. Spence and F. T. Wilcox to ap pear before the City Health Board at a meeting next week to present the dairymen's views on the proponed new ordinance. The members of the com mittee ate in favor of Its passage and will recommend its adoption by tlie board. DOG MUZZLES CONSIDERED City Council Expected to Act at Once Because of Many Attacks. Owing to the apparent prevalence of rabies among dogs in the city, a spe cial session of the City Council has been called for tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to consider the passage of a proposed ordinance requiring the muzzling or' leashing of all dogs al lowed to run at large. The ordinance was Introduced at the Council session last week and failed to pass because of opposition of several members who thought the proposed measure was planned for the benefit of persons wishing -to sell dog muzzles and dog chains. Since the Council meeting a number of cases . of rabies have been found. Other cases have been reported, and it Is feared' that unless the Council passes the muzzlins ordinance tomorrow there will be some serious developments. The proposed ordinance has an emer gency clause attached which will make it effective as soon as it is signed Dy Mayor Rushlight. : Salem Hears Wasco Divorce Case. SALEM, ' Or., July 27. (Special.)

Society Must Be Protected and Pleads for Vote Agalnst Question. SALEM."Or., July 27. (Special.) Mob rule, with all its terrors, to succeed the customary peace and quiet of Ore gon as the future of this state if the people decide to abolish capital pun ishment. Is one of the predictions made by Sheriff Harry P. MInto. of Marlon County, who for the greater portion of his life hag acted as a peace officer. As formeriv chief of police of Salem once guard at the stae penitentiary and for two terms Sheriff of this coun ty, he has gained a wide acquaintance with criminals and has at least a see ing'' acquaintance ' with the majority of convicts who have served terms in the state. "The people look to see the law exe cuted and carried out as was Intended by its framers," declared Sheriff Minto. "As soon as the people come to under stand that the law will not be excus ed., that such vile murderers as the Humphry! brothers and Jack Roberts will continue to live with a possibility of again becoming a menace to society, at that time they will assert their right to be protected. "I firmly believe that it is the duty of a peace officer to see that the laws are enforced to the best of his ability, to protect a criminal . when he is charged with a crime until that crim inal is guilty and the law takes its course. But the law should take Its course and society should be -guarded. "When a man with cold-blooded de liberation, premeditation and wanton malice takes the life of another the existence of that man should cease. He has not place in the scheme of things and I for one am unalterably opposed to abolition of capital punishment. I think that a majority of the people of Oregon will express their views in the same way when the question comes to a vote In November."

Charles William Marshall, the pretty, flaxen-haired 2-year-old boy, whose mother Is dead and whose father de serted him and who was the subject of a controversy In Juvenile Court a few months ago between Charles E.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene Or., July 27. (Special.) In a toafer nce at the University of Oregon yes terday Carl' Onthank, of Hood River, and Andrew Collier, of Eugene, laid plans for the publishing of the Oregon Emerald, the student newspaper, of which they are editor and manager re selectively. When college opens in Sep. tember they will increase the number of issues, each week, from two to three. The net earnings of the paper during the last school year under tne manage, ment of Wendell Barbour was 300, and it is hoped by the new officers that they will be able successfully to finance a triweekly paper. Carl Onthank was the editor and An drew Collier the manager of the Ore- gana, the junior annual, this year. Their year book was the largest that has ever been put out by the students of the university. Although five or six hundred expensive cuts were used, which brought the expenses of the publication up to nearly (3000, a small dividend was returned to the class from the advertising sales of the book. Their success was so marked with the year book that they were selected to handle the Emerald for the coming year, de spite the opposition from tho members of the staff of the Emerald who were in line for first honors on the paper. The Oregon Emerald has a circula tion of nearly 1000. It was charged by some of the alumni in the last annual meeting during commencement that the student editors and reporters became so engrossed in their own little world that tiiey neglected to give sufficient space to news which was of interest to the alumni subscribers. Judge Sla terof Salem, who is president of the1 University of Oregon Alumni Associa tion, was authorized to appoint a com mittee of three to advise the editor as to the policy of the paper and to look out for the interests of the alumni. The alumni stated that they desired to have more news printed concerning the serious work of the university and lesa' on athletics. The staff of the paper during th last school year- was .as follows: Edl-' tor-in-ehief. Burns Powell, of Mon mouth; managing editor, A. E. Hous ton, of Albany; news editor, Henry Fowler, of Portland; city editor, Fen Walte, of Sutherlin: assistants, Mlsi Neelle Hemenway, of Cottage Grove; Harold Young, of Eugene, and Colton. Meek, of Portland: associate editors, exchange, George Schantln, of Gresh-. am; sporting, lason Roberts, of Port land; society, Elizabeth Lewis, of Port land; humorous, William Cass, of Hood River; reporters Edward Hlmes, of Portland: Howard Zimmerman, of Sa lem; Walter Kimmel, of Salem; Anna McMicken, of Portland; Elizabeth Busch, of Portland; William M. McAl len, of Portland: Flora Dunham, of Portland; Bess Cowden, of Sllverton, Lila Sengstake. of Portland; Leland Hendricks, Carlyle Geisler, of Portland; Luton Ackerson, of Portland; Robert Farlss, of Eugene.
