Special degrees were con ferred on a number of the visitors, with a programme lined from begin ning to end with fun. Humorous ad dresses punctuated the procedure as unusual degrees were conferred, The degrees were conferred with a meat ax wielded by Judge Morrow, as high worshipful potentate of the order. The Judge .occupied a throne decorated In Oriental colors, with a background of roses, and called the visitors to the front, where with solemn eloquence they were handed their degrees and asked to respond. ' Degrees Are Conferred. Following were the degrees and their recipients: W.

Plea Made for Support. "We are here as a greeting and an Invitation with boots on," said Dr. Wheeler. "Our undertaking in San Francisco is an enormous one and we must have the support of the entire West. San Francisco expects more from Oregon than she does from any of the other states and we hope that Oregon will be the leader In showing f2Z2&-' ya -ss ;irrm . . J. Senfert, W. J. Bcrtmus, T.

"I am glad to see this great interest which is apparent in Portland. I am glad also to see the college spirit crop ping up as a moving spirit In our com mercial undertaking of the present day. In my home town we have a university with several thousand students. We could not control that set of men with a set of gatllng guns if we were to try, but we do control them with a mere foolish college yell. That yell, although seemingly meaningless, holds that great body of students together as one. Early Endeavors Recounted. "In San Francisco we realize that Portland and Oregon are with us in our exposition move and for that we are thankful. We who are here on this trip of exploitation extend to the people of Oregon our hearty thanks for their co-operation and we urge that you continue to keep up your interest." In speaking on the subject of "The Why of the Panama Canal," Duncan E. McKinlay. who is considered one of the best informed authorities on that subject, introduced his remarks by reciting the early endeavors of the explorers to find a waterway from the Atlantic to the Pacific. He recounted the explorations of Columbus, Cortes and others. He then traced the de velopment of - this same plan up through the periods of the '90s, point ing out the endeavors of French cap italists and companies to build the Panama Canal. "When the United States drifted -into war with Spain in 1898 and it took the battleship Oregon more than two months to go from San Francisco around the Horn and over to the scene of action, the country woke up to the need of the Panama Canal,' he said. "It was apparent that in case of war with one of the great European powers it would be possible for their ships to destroy our Nationality on one or the other of our coasts, while our ships were getting to the scene of ac tion. And then the United States pro ceeded to take the canal digging in its own hands and prepare for its comple tion. Benefits Will Result. "When the great waterway between the Atlantic and the Pacific is com pleted the North Pacific Coast, which so long has been far from the market centers of the world, will be drawn into a position to share In the benefits of the world trade. In two years this country -will be more than 8000 miles closer to New York by water than to day and will be 6000 miles closer to Europe. "It would seem as if the western Hemisphere was at last coming into Its own in dignity and progress in Its re lation to the world. Certainly the tides of people, of enterprise and of business have been steadily pressing westward since long before Bishop Berkeley de clared that 'Westward the star of em pire takes its way.' Men of even mid dle age today probably will live to see the fulfillment of the dreams and prophecies of the olden times in the opening of our coasts and .land to ship commerce with every country on the globe." Mr. McKinlay related the struggles necessary In building the canal, telling of the long fight against the yellow fever and malaria in the Canal Zone. He told of the remarkable manner in which the difficulties have been over THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 1, 1912. t-wwv --rr m wTTPnA w k.T i ' lrfWTH-'H III if-- f X OailVliSUV -.,,.1.1,1 I li m-, JLLWIWII J'WWIIIJ.

"When this waterway is thrown open," he ' continued," the door of opportunity will be opened to the Pacific Coast. Are we ready? All the nations have been building their ships and making their plans for the opening. We are urging the United States to get ready to seize Its share of the benefits." On the programme was a piano solo by Francis Richter, a blind musician of Portland. He won loud applause following each of two selections. Following the programme the Rosa rlans In their white uniforms, headed by a brass bandled the Flying Legion through the business streets and to the Union Depot, where the special Legion train pulled out at 2:45 o'clock with the visitors waving farewell to the large crowd of Rosarlans and others who had been their hosts. On the way to the depot the Rosarian drill team, under Drillmaster Robert Krohn, exe cuted a number of attractive drill ma neuvers. At the depot the Rosarlans lined up and cheered the. Legion mem bers as they passed through the depot yard to their special, train. Open Air Meeting! Omitted. Plans had been made at first to have the ' visitors hold an open air meeting in Chapman Square, opposite the Court house, but this part of the programme was omitted on account of rain.

MOSCOW GETS PAVING BID Estimated Cost of Improvements Is $180,000. MOSCOW, IdahoAug. 81. In order that more specifications could be adopt ed and time for notices for bids be re ceived, the date for opening the bids for the paving, grading, curbing an 1 storm sewers has been extended from September 14 to September 21. Bids are to be received on 26 differ ent kinds of paving, according to the names given many of them, but from an examination of the specifications themselves it is disclosed that a num ber of them differ only in name. The amended specifications axe now available with the City Engineer and City Clerk. The bids are to be made in duplicate and one addressed to the Mayor and the other to the City Clerk. The kind of paving to be adopted is to be determined by the property owners within the paving district after the bids are opened. The property owners seem to be of one mind, practically, relative to the selection of some well-known and un derstood "material adapted to the con ditions existing in this-salley. The entire improvement was esti mated by the City Engineer to cost 1180,000 and of this amount $30,000 is to be against the city at large for pav ing and improving street intersections. The district comprises 70.000 surface yards of paving. - - - A -a - WWffUMI Wl'JJlU"UH.ai WU X BRIDGE PLAN IS READY MODJESKI COMIXG WITH RE PORT OX COLUMBIA VIADUCT. Project Indorsed by Important Or ganizations Work . to Start in Earnest, Says-Frank Riley. Ralpli'Modjeski has telegraphed from Chicago to Frank B. Riley, . chairman of the Joint committee from Vancou ver and Portland, that he will be . in this city Wednesday and will appear before the committee with a printed report and with complete plans and specifications for the proposed Colum bia River bridge at- Vancouver. Preliminary . surveys for the bridge were begun by Mr. Modjeski's repre sentatives in May, a fund of J5000 hav ing been jointly raised by the busi ness men of Portland and Vancouver for the purpose. . "The next step- in the campaign," said Mr. Riley last night, "will be to go right down the line in both states to arouse interest In the project and prepare for our application before the Legislatures of tne two states ior xne appropriations necessary to build the bridge. "The State of Washington is aireaay hlehlv favorable and different organi zations in the United States have taken up the matter and have indorsed it most heartily.- The Pacific Highway Association, meeting in San Francisco recently, unanimously approved of the Columbia bridge and the bridge pro posed over the Colorado River near Yuma, as two of me most important links in the great Pacific Highway. Likewise the Trans-Mississippi Con gress, meeting in Salt Lake, declared that it believed the Columbia bridge of vital Importance in highway develop ment of the United States, and will work to secure Federal assistance for its construction. "Mr. Modjeski's coming with the re port of the preliminary survey and the plans for the bridge, will marJc the opening for a general and active cam paign, in which the whole Northwest will bend its energies to secure some thing that will have a -greater influ ence for its upbuilding than probably any other project now contemplated in this section or tne uniiea oLai.cn. FOREST FIRE FEAR PAST Washington Warden Says 1912 Fires , IjeasC In Eight Years. OLYMPIA, Wash., Aug. SI. (Spe cial.) Forest fires this year have been less than during the last eight years, according to State Forester and Fire Warden J. R. Welty, who announced that there Is practically no more dan ger from destructive -fires. Fires have been practically a minus quantity since the bad fires in the latter part of May, and the wardens in-the various coun ties have been kept busy building trails and keeping a strict supervision over their territory, u there , has been I Julias L. Meier no. s. Automobile. Is little actual fire fighting for them to do. Most of the time of the deputy state wardens now on will be spent in burn ing up the accumulated rubbish to re duce the chance of loss from fires in future years, and in giving instruction to farmers as to how to burn slashings. On account - -of favorable conditions, the Washington Forest Fire Associa tion has laid off its. men, according to word received in Olympia. WRIST BROKEN. BY TEAM Poles for Lino at Klamath Arrive. Paving for Season Completed. KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Aug.. 81. (Special.) Sunny Jim, as he is known here, otherwise Herman Force, super intendent for the Warren Construction Company, sustained a fracture of the wrist while trying to bold a frightened team. He was -thrown and fell into a culvert. The poles for the telephone line to be erected on the new work In Poe Valley by the Reclamation Service have arrived on cars from Montana. They will be moved from this point to Olene, near the proposed line, by floating them through the Government canals. They will be rafted and the rafts drawn by horses in regulation canal style. The Warren Construction Company, which has done all the paving in this city, ia moving a portion of its plant to other cities, but will retain enough of the machinery here to enable it to begin work promptly in the Spring, if successful in securing next season's paving contract. Vehicle Salesman Fined. KLAMATH FALLS. Or., Aug. 31. (Special.) Walter Sears and Charles Hunter, salesmen for the Spalding Buggy Company, arrested last week for selling without a license, have been tried before Charles Graves, Justice of the Peace, found guilty and fined 8150 each. There is a probability that the case will be dropped, as the amount Is too small to appeal to the higher court, unless the company pays the fines and combines them., making the total large enough to enable them to appeal. Whether such an appeal would be entertained Is doubtful, as the fines were separate and the indi viduals were considered, and the com pany not known in the case. Seventy Teachers at Examination. VNCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 81. (Spe cial.) Seventy teachers are taking the examination at the High School in this city, under the supervision of Pro fessor P. Hough, deputy county super intendent.

ELECTION BY LEGISLATURE Senator Sees No Necessity for Xcw Party but Believes It a Matter for Individual Judgment and Will Not Interfere. , , SPOKANE, Wash., Amc 31. (Spe cial.) Senator Borah will start his campaign for re-election to the United States Senate in North Idaho within ten days, he said today before leaving Spokane fur Northern Idaho. It will be largely a speaking campaign, and will be waged from September until November 5. Borah Is expected to devote his at tention largely to the election of Re publican members of the Legislature. Under the Idaho law, which is prac- , tically Identical with that of Washing ton, the party choice and not the popu lar choice rules, and the election of a Democratic Legislature would end Borah's chance of returning to the National Capital, though his was the only name that went before the voters at the recent Idaho primaries. Senator Borah announced today that, although personally not in favor of the third party movement, he would not at tempt to discourage those behind the movement in Idaho. "I do not propose to interfere or seek to put any obstacles in the way of the third party," he said, "if those interest ed in the movement believe it to be a wise one. While I do not myself think it is necessary to have a third party , in order to advocate successfully the Progressive measures. It Is a question of judgment and matter for those in charge of the movement to determine." Senator Borah returned to Spokane today from Coeur D'Alene, where he and Mrs. Borah spent Friday night. They wej-e tendered a largely attended informal reception In the parlors of the hotel in the Lake City. Senator and Mrs. Borah left for Mos cow and Northern Idaho tonight.
