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.
