Kader's Enterprise in Sending Tatrol and Band to Convention Held Good Investment. MIXNEAPOUS, Minn., June 7. (Spe cial.) Portland Shriners received their first taste of the sentiment that ap parently prevails all over the United States when the Al Kader special reached Fargo yesterday. Ten thou sand Fhriners welcomed the Portland boys at the Northern Pacific depot, and the representatives of 27 temples led the welcoming hosts. "Portland in 1920" was the slogan of all. Potentates of seven temples in Min nesota and Michigan were here and they declare Portland cannot be beaten at Indianapolis. They confirm a. tele gram just received by W. J. Hofmaiin from Mayor Ueorge L. Baker. BaKer wired "it's a cinch." As a result the men from Tortland arc wild with joy. They are puttine over a show at every stop. Bob Krohn and his dancing girls are a riot. FnrKO Jammed With Shrinera. Yesterday Fargo was Jammed to the edge of the sagebrush with Shriners. At noon 10.000 of them escorted the Vortland visitors to the park, where a luncheon was spread and where ora torical fireworks sparkled for an hour. It is the first time a large delegation of Portland men ever visited the North Dakota city and the town was theirs. In the afternoon a parade represent ing the "Pastimes of the Ages" passed through the principal streets. Port land's dancing girls were among the pastimers, and they made good. The patrol, band and chanters of Al Kader participated in the ceremonial at Fargo and afterward were guests at the potentates' ball. Twin Cities See Parades. The Al Kader special reached Min neapolis this morning, accompanied eastward by members of the temples who had gone over to Fargo for the ceremonial. Today the boys paraded through Min neapolis and St. Paul and were enter tained by the nobility of Zurah and Oman temples. The sentiment here is all for Portland, and Minneapolis being the home of Past Potentate Charles C. Ovenshiro, it is believed that his in fluence will be a factor at Indianapolis. All indications are that the officers of the Imperial Divan ha-o played fair with Portland. No trace has yet been found of any attempt to swing voteB to New Orleans. It is certain that the sending of the band and patrol by Al Kader temple is a good investment of money. The boys are playing and marching well, show ing a lot of enthusiasm and doing big work in the way of advertising the aggressiveness of Portland. ALL. SIGNS FAVOR PORTLAND Omens of Good Luck Attend Local Slirincrs' Campaign. En route to Indianapolis, members of Al Kader and Potentate Hofmann have been collecting omens of good luck in their fight for the 1920 session at Port land. When the potentate climbed aboard the special at the Union station Noble J. P. Jaeger pulled him back to the concrete to attach the left hind foot ol" a eraveyard rabbit to his watch chain. In the official trunk in the baggae car the secretary of the committee had placed a huge horseshoe. It was from the left hind foot of the horse with the biggest foot to be found in Port land. At Tacoma the potentate of Al Kader was presented with a silver loving cup. with the good wishes of Afifi Temple The cup is now being exhibited in the window of Jaeger Bros store on Sixth street. There were 13 stems of four-leaf clover worn by 13 members of the Ara hie patrol, and Judge George V. Staple ton carried a brick. Portland ought to win. and claimed Wyoming as his home will have his name, home address, and full military record on file in the office of the newly created historical depart ment of the state government, so that future generations may know the deeds cf the present generation. The work of compiling these records was commended during the war by the council of national defense through Miss Agnes Wright state librarian, who undertook to organize county and local committees to gather the data. Then the legislature decided that now was a good time to accumulate a "past" and authorized the appointement of a state historian. The new department is taking up the work unfinished by the council of de fense and volunteer workers are eager ly assisting 4n gathering facts about Wyoming's participation in the war. Personal reminiscences are valued highly and state officials believe the work when completed will provide valuable sidelights on the war which will be of great interest and historical value. The historian is trying to make the compilation more than a mere report and a catalogue of names. Each vol unteer historian is asked to gather in teresting anecdotes of Wyoming fight ers' erperiences in whipping the hun and send them to the state historical department, room 302, Capitol build ing, Cheyenne.

W'hile the mother and two of her women relatives were eating lunch in a restaurant at Broadway and Washing ton street the mother looked out of the window and saw her daughter and An derson crossing the street arm in arm.

The mother took charge of the girl. Anderson is in jail, held for the Wash ington authorities. Anuerson says Miss Brown is 17 years old.

During his absence Jan Koo with offices in the Yeon building, will act as consul for the Netherlands. l nere is a good chance for more import and ex port business between Portland ?ind the Dutch Ji.ast Indies, said Mr. Metzelaar yesterday. "Most of the big Dutch liners coming to the Pacific coast go directly to San Fran Cisco and I see no reason for this. They bring rubber, tin and spices and take back with them iron, steel and machin ery. Portland can be made the dis tributing point for these articles just as well as any other point on the Pacific coast. Mr. Metzelaar will sail "Wednesday, Me will spend about ten days in Japan and six weeks in China. His family will remain in Portland during his ab sence. YAKIMA. Wash.. June 7. (Special.) A. P. Davis, director of the U. S. reclamation service. has asked the Northern Pacif ic Railway company to tct a price at which it will dispose of its 6000 acres of land under the pro- : posed Yakima high line canal. The request was made in a letter to Thomas I'uoper, vice-president of the company. Director Davis says he believes con tinuance of the high line work at this time depends upon the passage of the Mondell soldiers land settlement bill, now pending in congress. He says there is a good prospect that this bill will pass. If it does, he expects great pressure for quick results. Hence he desires to have all preliminaries dis posed of. and wishes to know what the land will cost in order to prepare his report upon the project. It would be necessary, according to Mr. Davis, for the government to ac quire title to the land. He puts the quest ion of price up to the Northern Pacific because it is the largest indi vidual owner in the project, and be cause he believes the railroad com pany's action will have a strong in fluence upon other land owners.

Among recent land deals in Clackamas county is the sale of the farm of A. Ti. Cummlngs, of Canby, famous for its crops from small acre age. This farm has been purchased bv H.

The first and second crops of rhubarb were harvested with out irrigation, but the land where the second cutting has taken place, will be irrigated, and within a month the third crop will be ready for market. Mr. Cummings formerly chipped car loads of rhubarb to the San Francisco markets, but of recent years has mar keted hi., crop in Portland. The third crop will he used mostly by Portland canneries of that place, and Mr. Cummings will assist the new owner on harvesting and shipping it. He has six acres planted to this product.

Construe tion of a chain of three canals, to con nect the Puget sound with the Colum bia river which has been discussed for years is being considered very seri ously by the government, according to Representative Albert Johnson, Ho quiam. One of the three ditches, according to outlined plans, would bo dug from Puget sound, near Olympia. Wash., to the Grays harbor, on the coast. The second link would run down the coast from Grays harbor to Willapa harbor and the third would connect Willapa harbor with the Columbia. Proposals have been made that the canal at first be built large enough to handle ,only light draft boats. later the waterway could be deepened for coastwise craft. Construction of the Puget sound Columbia river canal has been con sidered since 1854 when Jefferson Davis, later president of the Con federacy, was FPcretary of war. At that time war department engineers went over the route and pronounced the plan feasible. Davis believed the canal would be of great war-time strategic value. Twelve years ago the late General H. M. Chittenden went over the pro posed canal route and made a complete report. He believed seven locks would be necessary to carry the canal over the divide between Olympia and the coast. He placed the cost around $15,000,000. Congressman Johnson- recently said it might be possible to get the canal includad among the government's proj ects for inland waterways.
