of Chicago, scheduled to arrive at
8 A. M., did not pull in until 5 P. M.
But, despite the delays and waits,
the visitors were cared for, and as
the delegations returned to the
Multnomah hotel from the Columbia
river highway trip, they were loud
in their praise of Portland's hospi
tality and Oregon's scenic wonders.
Convention Here Remembered.
"We have not forgotten the won
derful treatment we received . in
Portland in 1920, and you have done
the same thing again toda," said
Charles Ovenshire of Burah temple
of Minneapolis. "Portland is a city
that we all love to visit because we
know that we will be taken care of
throughout our stay. Just how you
manage to do it is a mystery to me,
for do you know that there is no
other place in the country where
the same brand of hospitality ex
ists."
And then take the testimony of
Charles S. McNulty, potentate ofi
Kazim temple of Roanoke, Va.
"Imperial councils of the Shrine
have been held in every section of
North America. We did not know
what the word hospitality really
meant until we landed in Portland
in 1920. Our boys have tried to
figure out just how you manage to
show such wonderful times to such
large groups and we have cqme to
the conclusion that the main reason
is your wonderful mayor, George L.
Baker, who is the inspiration of the
people."
Cltlzena Torn Out.
It was not the Shriners alone who
worked throughout the day in see
ing that all of the visitors were
cared for. Automobiles owned by
men and women who have no con
nection with the Shrine were "on
hand for service and, indeed, it was
the city of Portland that responded
to the call for civic service yester
day. At the Multnomah hotel, which
had been made the headquarters for
the Shrine through the courtesy of
Eric V. Hauser, proprietor, two com
mittees greeted the mass of Shriners.
One committee, composed of
women, headed by Mrs. J. Curtis
Simmons, handed out 25,000 rose
buds to the women in the visiting
parties and another committee, com
posed of Harvey Wells, George Burt
and A. M. Work, gave out informa
tion of every description to the
guests throughout the day.
Incidentally, Portlanders who are
accustomed to seeing roses in pro
fusion have not the slightest idea
of how strongly the blooms appeal
to the people of the east.-- They prize
them and look In wonderment at the
banks of flowers which rest on the
tables prepared by the reception
committee.
Dave Segar, chairman of the
"stay-at-home" committee, Fred L.
Gifford, Captain of Police Lewis and
his assistants, and many individual
members of Al Kader temple are
entitled to credit for the manner
in which the visitors were cared for
yesterday. . ,
Parades Are Staged. '
Bands, patrols, drum corps and
other uniformed bodies kept the city
in festive spirit throughout the day
by concerts and parades on the
streets.
Today will be another big day
for the Shriners. Almost 1000 mem
bers of Medinah temple of Chicago
are remaining in the city to view
the Columbia river highway. This
group of Shriners, led by James
Todd, chief rabban of MedinabJ
temple, came by the northern route
for the purpose of going over the
highway. .
As a result an appeal has been
madtj to Portland automobile own
ers to furnish cars to carry mem-'
bers of this and other delegations
on the highway trip tomorrow. . .
Cars for highway trips are asked
to report at the Multnomah . hotel
between 8:30 and 9 A. M. At least
1000 cars are needed for this work.
In addition cars are necessary to
meet four special trains 'and a num
ber of special car parties artiving
in Portland early tomorrow morn
ing. Cars for this service are asked
to report at the. Union station at 7
A. M.

Mayor Baker was catching a bite
to eat during the middle of the
afternoon at the Multnomah . hotel,
when a group of chanters from
Yaarab temple of Atlanta, Ga., gath
ered about his table to serenade
him. Before singing, Frank Cundell,
director, asked the mayor what
qualifications he held to bring him
honors. Without a word the mayor
arose and sang one of the favorite
numbers that this group of singers
rendered. It took "the boys from the
south off their feet, and for almost
20 minutes they sang for Mayor
Baker. George Schalk, prominent
realtor of Portland, and Bob Fulton,
a star in Al Kader chanters, were
the hosts to tbiB group of artists.'
