Shriners Pen Appreciation of

CITY'S VIRTUES EXTOLLED
Potentates From AH Parts of
Country Lavish In Praise; Send.
Love to Al Kader Oasis.
From all parts of the nited States
cordial Mftters of appreciation for
Portland's reception to the visiting:
nobles of the Mystic Shrine continue
to pour in to W. J. Hofmann, chair
man of the general convention
committee, and A. H. Lea, poten
tate of Al Kader temple. Added to
these are thousands of newspaper
clippings in -which returning: nobles
extoll the virtues of the Rose City,
and relate wonders of the golden west
to the envious who remained at home.
Portland today is known through
out this countiy as a city of beauty
and hospitality, a knowledge which
cannot fail to result in material ad
vantage to the metropolis of Oregon.
From W. Freeland Kendrlck, past
Imperial potentate, who completed his
reign in Portland, was received a let
ter lrom whici the following are brief
excerols:
"It was the most elaborate as welf
as enjoyable and best conducted af
fair of its kind that has ever taken,
r probably will, take place. Future
attempts will suffer by comparison
with 1920. and I have frequently
thought how fortunate I was to be the
head of our great order at that su
preme moment
Praise on Every Side.
"The entire affair is beyond de
scription and almost seems like a
delightful dream. I heard nothing but
praise on every side and met thou
sands returning, at different cities
after leaving Yortland, who were sing
ing the praises of your fascinating
city. I think of the gorgeous street
illumination, the court of honor, cen
ter square, the electrical and floral
parades and thousands of other in
cidents which delighted the multi
tudes, but why enumerate? I could
write for a month along these lines.
Please believe me, it is not a weak
ness that I cannot express myself; it
is simply beyond the ability of any
human being to either describe the af
fair or express such sincere thanks
and appreciation as I have."
Kxcerpts from other letters follow:
. Edward Gearhart. Altoona, Pa.
do know no city will ever surpass
you in your entertainment and han
dling of so many people.
S. J. Carmichael, Camar, Ga. Every
body in the Yaarab party came away
from Portland with nothing but
praises for the way in which you
people entertained us, and will be
cherished by us as three of the bright
est days In our memory.
Virgil S. Reiter, Hammond, Ind. I
never realized unt'l my trip to your
city that such perfect arrangements
could be made, and such universal
satisfaction given, not only to those
of us who were fortunate enough to
be representatives, but to all of the
visitors. I shall never forget it.
Esten A. Fletcher, Rochester, N. T.
Tour arrangements were most splen
did and carried out with a nicety that
showed wonderful executive ability,
We will lone remember our pilgrim-
ace to Portland, the Rose City of
the west.
William P. Feth, Leavenworth
Kan. Last night we had a meeting
of the patrol and wi6h you could
have heard the nice things said about
Portland. On the train back every
one was talking about Portland and
the way she entertained her visitors.
I believe your city is the first one
where any effort was made to take
care of the sick.
Mont Successful Held.
Colonel Richings J. Shand, Spring
field. 111. I think that Portland did
herself more than proud in the way
she handled the imperial council.
Fred Clement Schramm, Salt Lake
City, Utah. Having attended imperial
council meetings for a great many
years. I feel I am qualified to pass
on the subject and I know that the
verdict is that this one was the
itiast successful and best managed
oi any.
A. M. Chesher, Minneapolis, Minn.
The wonderful preparations made for
our comfort and entertainment were
most keenly appreciated. We have
nothing but thanks and praise to
offer you and will say, moreover, that
we heard no criticism and everybody
seemed happy all the time.
John A. Morrison, Brooklyn. N. T.
The wonderful entertainment you ot
tered in Portland has never been ex
celled in all the years I have been at
tending these conventions.
Crnrad V. Dykeman, Brooklyn, N. T,
Evergreen as the pines of Alaska Is
the memory of those days in the Rose
City where your ubiquitous influence
made everything run smoothly like
unto your great Columbia. You have
set a standard for imperial council
eet-sicns tnat will be very hard to
equal and may never be sumassed.
Charles S. Blair, Philadelphia, Pa.
.-votning seemed too big for the Al
Kader boys to tackle, and we of the
east feel that we will have to step
suine id in any way touch the high
water mark which you certainly
reuched. I would like to secure a
picture of the floral display at the
urn session, wnicn was the most won
aerrui spectacle 1 ever beheld.
Allan Mccants. Meridian, Miss.
Our pleasant stay in your delightful
City of Roses will live long in our
memories. It was the most wonderful
ume we nave ever enjoyed.
manes A.. Crawford, Indianapolis
urne me penume of Al Kader'
roses, tne pleasant memories of th
pilgrimage to Portland will line-
, through a thousand oriental summers.
-o Voice In Dissent.
r. u. tsiundon, Salina, Kas. I have
failed to hear a dissenting voice to
tne general expression of approva
and appreciation of the recent inn at.
forded by the nobles and citizens of
Portland. From expressions I have
already heard, it is not Impossible
that out of our own delegation from
Isis temple, which Is probably repre
sentative, Portland may ultimately
receive some additions to her popula
tion. Eliaa 3. Jacoby, Indianapolis, Ind.
Every moment of my stay in Port
land was a delight.
George A. Sherwood, Duluth, Minn.
Expressing the appreciation of
every member of Aad temple. Includ
ing the band and patrol, who visited
the Imperial Council session at Port
land for the splendid accommodations,
headquarters and wonderful enter
tainment provided for us during our
stay in your beautiful oasis.

follow.
James S.. McCandless, Honolulu,
H. 1. I have never enjoyed a meeting
of the Imperial council as well as I
did the one- In your city.
Charles Hall, Marshfield. Or. It
was 60 stupendous that it would not
be possible within the space of a
short letter to express an adequate
opinion of it nor our appreciation
and admiration.
Louis M. Cole, Los Angeles, Cal.
Portland made no mistake, for you
certainly delivered the goods, and
then some. Our members on the way
home did nothing but express the
highest admiration for the splendid
manner in which they were treated
by the citizens of Portland.
Fred K. Jones, Spokane, Wash.
We of the northwest are mighty
proud of the way that Portland
handled such a tremendous under
taking and you and your cohorts are
Justly entitled to every bit - of the
praise that is to be heard from every
aide. No wonder that no other city
wanted the convention next year for
they were naturally afraid that they
could not equal your standards.
She XV m a Bear."
James R. Agar, New Westminster,
B. C. I think It can be safely stated
that no city on the American con
tinent will be able to excel the man
ner in which Al Kader and Portland
as a whole, handled this session of
the Imperial council.
Ivan L. Hyland, Seattle, Wash. You
have made a name for yourselves that
every temple will try to emulate, but
I am confident none will ever equal
or surpass.

She was a bear! More could not have
been done! Nothing but praise all
up and down the line.

to improve on the three days spent
with you, and that you have their

good will.
James H. Price. Richmond. Va. I
wish to acknowledge our Indebted
ness to the nobility of Portland for
the pleasures of the greatest Shrine
meeting it has ever been our -priv
ilege to attend. You have set a pace

f the most delightful visits I have
made.
George K. Elsenbrown, Reading,
Pa. The royal reception and enter

umanlty was simply beytond deserip
tion. I am confident that everyone
went away, reluctlantly, with most
delightful recollections and impres
sions of your beautiful city and your
generous hospitality.

and delightful imperial council meet
ng I have ever attended.

Where Rests the
Father of Our Nation
In keeping with the custom of
great peoples, throughout the
civilized world, the honored
remains of Washington were
not given to the earth. Instead
they were laid reverently to
rest within a tomb.
Do we not owe it to our sleep'
ing ones to show the same high
quality of respect? Vault en
tombment or cremation are
the two better ways.
