Praise of Portland's reception to
Shriners from all parts of the country
St the recent convention is contained
in a report in an Atlantic City. NJ.,
newspaper, the account telling: of
the report made by Miles W. Beemer.
potentate of Salem temple of Newark,
before the Atlantic City chamber of
commerce. Mr. Beemer in his report
to the chamber told of the warmth
of the Portland reception, and de
clared that Atlantic City must take
every possible step to prevent prof
iteering during the convention there
In 1921 and have a convention as
free from that feature as was the
Portland event.
The account is in part as follows:
"Mr. Beemer said there were no
words too fine to describe the won
derful reception and treatment the
Ehriners had been given in Portland
and all through their western trip,
and he went into some detail to show
to what lengths the city and Its peo
ple had gone to make the Shriners
welcome. He urged that this city, in
acting as host to the 'finest body of
men' next year, put its heart into
the work and send them back to their
homes boosters for this resort just as
they were boosters for Portland. -DecorrtloB
la Vrjged.
" lt is not a question of what you
are going to get, but what you are
going to give," Mr. Beemer said, for,
he declared, after all the reputation
of a city, the same as of a man, must
rest on how much service and human
ity it shows to the people.
"The speaker urged that the city do
something fine in the way of deco
rations and provide a great feasting
place at the Inlet park, where 10,0.0
could sit down to fine seafood din
ners. Portland, he declared, had
erected a wonderful arch for the vis
itors and he hoped Atlantic City
would erect an even finer one and
that the whole keynote of the city's
life during the three' days the con-.
vention is hore would be of joy and
happiness, for the "hriners were com
ing expecting to have a wonderful
time.
"He sketched briefly some of the
things the Shriners" committees are
planning thus far ahead for the con
vention. These included a wonderful
water festival, gorgeously illuminated
at night. ,' Neptune and his mermaids
will be at the Inlet to welcome the
visitors. There will be beautiful floats
and a number of Shrlner parades,
such as are famous the world over. -"Mr.
Beemer said that it was the
hope of the committee In charge that
the convention in Atlantic City would
surpass anything ever held Ly the
bhriners and would compare with the
spectacular Durbar held in India and
would be talked of all around the
world.
City Profits Greatly.
"He advised that the' committee
should immediately ret to work on
the publicity end of it and create a
wish among Shrine members all over
the country to come here. He said
the Atlantic City film which the
chamber of commerce sent to the
Portland convention was Impressive
and a dozen such films should be sent
everywhere there are Shrines. Pres
ident Leeds said after Mr. Beemer
had finished talking that the 12 films
would be forthcoming.
"The Newark potentate produced
.some amazing figures, the most star
tling of which were that the conven
tion would leave $6,000, 000 in this
city. He said that it was estimated
that 35 000 Shriners and a total of
luo.uoo persons were in Portland on
account of the convention, and it was
believed 70.000 Shriners and 200.000
persons would come to Atlantic Citv.
They left $4,000,000 in Portland and
will leave 50 per cent more here, he
declared.
"He also pointed out that the con
vention would lengthen the season
here next year, since it is to be held
on June 7. 8 and 9. He mentioned
the fact that It will be followed
shortly by the car builders' Conven
tion, a big one, and shortly after that
by the 'Grotto' convention, another
Masonic order, which will bring sev
eral thousand visitors." .

next November, the money set aside
for its purchase will revert to the

Should Commissioner Bigrelow enter
an order for the truck it will take
from 60 to 90 days to make delivery,
it is said.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or., Aug. 1.
(Special.) A vegetable doughnut is
the latest contribution to the vege
table kingdom made by a cottage
grove man. This time the contributor
is F. C. Coffman, and the contribution
is a perfect doughnut-shaped tomato
grown in his garden.
The tomato is larger than the average-sized
home-grown variety, and
has a dark line, possibly the out
growth of the mark left by the bloom
bud, running around its largest cir
cumference. When growing in the
garden, Mr. Coffman says the stem
of the tomato split as the . hole
through the center opened up, thus
supporting all .parts of the vegetable
anil causing it to grow symnetrically.
The hole through the center t. an
Inch long by ote-half to a quarter of
an inch wide. The tomato itself Is
over four Inches In diameter and 13
Inches In circumference.

With Xew Truck, Authorized but
Not Bought, Outcome Might
Have Been. Different.
Demonstration of the need of a new
aerial fire truck, for which the city
council appropriated $14,500 last No
vember, was shown clearly in the
Eltcn court fire yesterday. .
Although the three trucks available
were dispatched to the fire, the last
on orders issued by Acting Chief
Young. experienced firemen said
yesterday that additional high lad
ders would have aided in the rescue
of guests in the hotel.
City Commissioner BIgelow, In
charge of the fire bureau, has re
fused to order new aerial fire truck
because of the present shortatfa in
city funds.
Twice within recent months, it is
said, the city, with an area of 6S
square miles, has had the use of but
one fire truck, the other two lying
in the repair shop.
On these occasions Commissioner
Bigelow placed night and day crejws
at work, in an effort to effect speedy
repairs, but had two large conflagra
tions occurred In different sections of
the city at the same time, the fire
fighters would have faced a tre
mendous handicap.
When the city council was consider
ing proposed expenditures for the
present year last November, former
Fire Chief Dowell requested sufficient
money to purchase two trucks. Upon
the advice of Commissioner Bigelow
money was set aside for the purchase
of one truck, but up to date none has
been purchased.
Unless the truck is ordered prior to
