City Asked to Deeorate. " The Portland committee, appointed at the grand lodge at its last session in 1S15. has for Its chairman Senator Gus C. Moser; Frank S. Grant, as treasurer and W. J. Clark, as secretary. Com mittees will soon wait upon merchants and owners of property in the business section to solicit their co-operation in decorating and dressing up the city so as to give these visitors from all sec-, tions of the world a proper impression of Portland. . The colors of the order are blue, yel low and red. and, by beginning early, it is possible to get splendid designs at very little cost." said Chairman Gus C. Moser, "and we sincerely hope that he' will receive the earnest co-operation of every citizen in Portland along this line. In many cities where the supreme- lodge has met in past years the residence sections have been elaborately decorated.. "WheVe a city haa so much flora as Portland it would "seem particularly appropriate and advisable to consider combinationa of flowers in the forms of shields, crowns, swords, open Bibles and In combinations of the first let ters of the motto of the order of Knights of Pythias, which are F. C. B." Attractions Are Advertised. The publicity committee which is serving in connection with the commit tees of the supreme bodies has had ac cess to the columns of 32 Pythian news Papers throughout the United States, and has been advised that a great deal of interest is being aroused throughout the country in" the Portland meeting. The fact that the committee in charge will endeavor to give all supreme lodge representatives the trip over the High way as its guests, and provide a gigan tic clambake at Seaside, seems to strike a responsive chord in all sections of the country. The -Highway is pretty gen erally known to exist, arfd much, curi osity is evidenced to see it. The clambake is something that ap peals to all Eastern and Southern peo ple who have never had an oportunity to participate in such an entertainment. On Tuesday night, August 1, a great open meeting for. Knights of Pythias and their families and friends wlll.be held in the Armory to hear the address of Walter B. Ritchie, of Lima, O., en titled "Friendship." This address Is considered a classic of the English Ian guage. and has been delivered by Mr, Ritchie in most of the cities of the world. He has always refused to commercial lze the lecture, although he has been called on to refuse offers of $1000 night to deliver it. Mr. Ritchie pre pared the address when he was supreme chancellor of the .order of Knights of Pythias, and he has dedicated it to the advancement of the interests of the order. When delivered in Portland the admission at the Armory will be free.
