If you are a Shriner and live any where in Oregon or Washington, you will have important business in Port land Wednesday afternoon about 6 o'clock. That will be an Important moment for about 1500 nobles of the two states, but even more important to about 40 embryo Shrlners of Port land and vicinity who have been elected for a Journey "over the hot sands to Mecca." It will be a great night for Shrine dom, but will be only an incident to the even greater days and nights that follow. The ceremonial at the Armory will hardly be over before the Shriners' big three-ring circus will open for a three-Hay stand. and nearly all the visiting Shrlners will stay both to see and to be seen. Many visitors from Spokane. Seattle and other suburbs are demanding places In the circus parade Thursday morning. The Portland committee is planning to distribute the visitors over the elephants, camels and other wild animals so long as they, the animals last. Visitors to Get to Parade.

Its special train Is. due Thursday after noon. Seattle Shriners will be much in evidence all day Thursday and through much of the remainder of the week for they are making a hard fierht for the 1915 conclave. They believe that Seattle is the logical place for- the meeting as the Shriners will want to come to the Coast anyway to attend the World's Fair at San Francisco. Tacoma to Send CO. Tacoma is sending 60 members pre pared to take a prominent part in all the activities of the day and night. Valla Walla is sending two special cars. Shriners from Chehalis.

Medford, Roseburg Eugene and other cities are well filled with Shriners who are members of the Portland or Ashland temples. Salem alone is getting up a party of 100 Irank S. Grant, of Al Kader Temple, a prominent member, recently completed a tour of the xsorthwest to interest the members in the ceremonial. He aroused enough enthusiasm to turn nearly every footloose Shriner In the two states toward Portland. The entire party with the Portland escort will pass in review through the streets at 4 o'clock Wednesday after noon. The ceremonial will begin at 6 o clock and there will be a big banquet at 8 o clock.

Young business men of Portland are to be appealed to especially for back ing of the line and interest in the success of the enterprise is already manifested widely among citlaens of Portland. A young mechanic called at the office of the Chamber of Commerce yester day and announced his intention of putting all of hie savings Into the Alaska enterprise, and many other aim liar pledges of support, have been made.

LIGHT SAVING PLANNED Electrician Suggests Way to Gut Courthouse Bill $2500 a Year. Expenses of lighting and heating the Courthouse may be reduced about 2600 a year by the installation of new dou ble throw switches in the engine-room. County Electrician Pickering has re ported to Commissioner Holman. The installation of the new machinery wil cost approximately $1000, according to the report. At present there are 3481 lights and 61-horsepower in connected motors These were operated last year at a cost of 46ol. the report says. The new double throw switches are necessary Mr. Pickering says, so that the exhaust from the engines may be used in gen erating electricity. Under the present arrangement It is impossible to use the current generated in the building and from the outside at the same time With these new switches sufficient cur rent can De generated in the Winter, it is believed, to reduce the cost of light ing to almost nothing.

Al Kader to Furnish Spielers and Other Weird Paraphernalia or Tented Day Barnes' Show to Be Given Complete. Portland will be converted Into a veritable Mecca of Moslems the last four days of this coming week. The gathering of the fun-making hordes will be the biggest ever corraled In the Pacific Northwest and in addition to the revels of the Nobles of the differ ent temples of the Coast states there will be the regular production of the Al G. Barnes three-ring circus each af ternoon and evening of Thursday, Fri day and Saturday. Spielers recruited from the Al Kader ranks and with the most proline lln,v ever turned loose, will have change of the concessions and other aldeshow at tractions. A corps of ringmasters, headed by Past Potentate "Bill" Bristol, will make things hum in the sawdust arena and the audience is forbidden to throw cabbages at these amateur performers. EUajht Hands to Play. A total of at least eight large bands will supply the muelo for the show, four regular circus bands, a "Rube" band, a boys' band of 60 pieces. Al Ka der Shrine band and one or more bands from the visiting temples. These will take part in the parades and the grand opening entrance of the circus, as well as In the concert following the ring shows. "If I can only keep the vagabonds together and make them work. I'll have the greatest aggregation ot con cession stunts you ever saw." said Con cession Director Ivan Humason last nisht. "We have some fine stunts and some of the boys will be rigged up so their own mothers won't know them when they get under way." The lively scramble will be when the herd of camels and dromedaries is led out, as every one of the 1400 members of Al Kader has put in an application for a cruise on these hump-backed souvenirs of the desert. The elephants are also proving great attractions for amateur Shrine equestrians and It is expected that every one of the pachy derms win be loaded down with cheese knife Nobles from here and the other oases. Camel's Milk Promised. "Good times for everybody and rough times for some will be our slo gan from the minute the carnival starts." announced Potentate Beckwlth. "Anybody who comes here with a grouch will be thrown into the arena and given four rounds with the lauch ing hyenas or the sacred zebu, who has never been licked yet. A drink of real camel's milk goes with every ticket when the bearer gives the proper sign of the desert and every unregenerate son of the prophet will be required to see that his neighbor smiles when the Joke is on him. and there will be plen ty of Jokes lying around."

An amazing and extraordinarily In teresting feature on the programme of the Barnes circus at each performance Is the troupe of seals and its lions. These animals are the proteges of Captain Albert Stonewall, who for many years has been engaged in the capture and training of water animals and reptiles. Tom, Dick and Harry are the stars of the troupe and have been under the tutelage of the captain for nine years. Sea lions take the same rank In the ocean that the African Hon doea 1 the Jungles. They are kings of all water life, being able to outswira and outfight any other denizen ot the briny ieep. Though cumbersome In appearance, the seal and sea Hon are active and dextrous out of water to a remarkable degree. For Instance, these animals are equilibrists, jugglers, musicians. Ballplayers ana barebacic riders. Jug gling billiard balls on the tips of their noses is done with the greatest ease. Throwing the balls one to another and catching them on their noses Is a part of their work. Doing this same thing while on the backs of galloping ponies has given them the prominence of being the best trained seals and sea Hons known. Harry is a comedian and leads a group of fans who vigor ously applaud every clever stunt done by their companions. Seventy-five original. Instructive, amazing and thrilling acts are offered by the great Barnes show, a pro gramme given entirely by a troupe of over 600 educated animals. Nearly every species is represented, fully one half the number being ferocious wild animals. The hour for the parade is 10:S0 Performances will be at 3 and 8 P. M, Daughters of Revolution to Meet.
