BIG CIRCUS WILL FOLLOW
Visitors From Spokane, Seattle and
Other Suburbs Seek Places in
Parade and "Will Be Distrib
uted Orer Animals.
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.
But those who cannot be accommo
dated in the parade will be given
plenty of opportunity to display them
selves Wednesday afternoon. The Port
land nobles have arranged an all
Shrine parade at 4 o'clock. All visitors
1500 or more, in addition to the Port
land Shriners, three bands and three
uniformed Arab patrols, will be in
line.
The invading Shriners will begin to
arrive early Thursday morning. The
S5-piece band and the uniformed patrol
of Al Kader Temple will meet them
at the trains.
The Spokane delegation is coming
with 200 members. Its own band and
its expert patrol. They will arrive at
7:30 In the morning.
Seattle is sending 150 nobles, a band
of 30 pieces and Its own patrol. 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. Everett
Olympla and other points in Western
Washington will come with the Seattle
special train party.
From Eastern Oregon cities will
come fully 100. while Ashland, which
boasts the only Shrine temple in the
state outside of Portland, will send 50
Western Oregon will be well rep
resented. 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

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

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."

( heats CI rem a feature.
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,
