' As fresh and confident as a
bteese- from Lake Michigan 40 per
sonifications of Chicago blew into
Portland this morning bent on see
ing the Rose City in gala dress, on
finding out what she can do for
Portland and incidentally, perhaps,
what Portland can do for Chicago.
"But the'Chloago excursionists didn't
do all tbe blowing by any rowans. Tha
party hadn't climbed off their dining
car teps onto the Union depot plat-
form before the fair weather wind of
Portland, with Just enough salt to It
." to invigorate the visitors livened up
the atmosphere and made Chicago glad
that she had come to Portland.
The Chicago Association of Commerce
has made a good many Junketing trips
this Is the tenth and seen more cities,
attended more banquets, taken more
sight-seeing' automobile rides and be
come acquainted with more objects of
local pride than -any other aggregation
in the world, but In Portland it fell in
with trained hands. Portland hasn't
taken her "booster" trips' for nothing.
She knows the rope and she started
In right off the bat to inflict as many
telling object lessons, upon the ,Chl
cagoans as time would permit.
- ; Hsosptloa Committee on Train,
i The reception committee was on hand
When the Chicago special pulled in this
- morning which was some time before
Chicago had begui to wak up and rub
its eyes. T. W. B. London had gone
ahead to Tacoma yesterday to meet the
party and had prepared them as well as
lie could for the welcome that awaited
them fcere. But he hadn't got them up,
Everett Seattle, Tacoma, with late ban
quet at each place, had knocked out
good resolutions about early rising. It
was . o'clock before the party mar
shalled -by the immaculate Henry A.
and by the irresistible C. W.' Mott of
the Northern Pacific and flanked on
, sides, front and rear by the eager mem
bers of the reception , committee, made
its way through the depot and to the
front where a score of automobiles were
awaiting them.

A special committee took charge of
the excursionists here and saw them
. stowed away in the automobiles and
furnished with well-equipped guides.

riyinff Trip Through the City.
- They were given a whirling trip over
Sixth street to Washington, around ths
shopping and wholesale districts and
then out to the Lewis and Clark fair
grounns, me f orestry building and the
California building with Its rose show.
, From the minute they stepped off the
, traUi, the Chicago party had been dcl
ued overworked but Inevitable word
with rosea. Women with baskets loaded
. with big ones- had thrust them into their
hands or pinned them to their coat lapels
wherever the badges permitted. But the
climax came at the Rose Show. Even
Chicago couldn't , say . much here. The
parly walked back and forth and
through the exhibits and admitted that
If there was one thing that would stand
out as preeminent and unrivaled on their
. trip. It would be the remarkable exhi
bition of roses at the fair grounds.
Enooanter Shower of Bomb.
Leaving there the automobiles carried
them back down town again, showing
them the tree-shaded residence district
' around Portland Heights on the way,
dowu through the business section
, again and over the Morrison bridge. At
the east approach to the bridle they
Were given another unique Bensation
that of being showered with thousands
of roses by an army under the charge
of the Kast Side Business Men's associa-
-tion. The automobiles were almost bur
ied under the shower of blossoms and
all that could be seen of Chicago was
here and there a grinning fade rising out
of a mound of pink and red petals.
Emerging from' their rose bath they
got down to business again eerious
business that is and made fnr th nlant
of the North Pacific Lumber company
where they were shown how Oregon fir
is made up into timbers and lumber that
support and house the world. The logs
cut up for the party were as much 11 b-
ger than anything they had ever heen
before as PorUand roses are higgler 'han
Chicago roses and the exhibition proved
to be one of the most instructive fea
tures of the morning's trip. ' - .

excursion include some of the best
tyiown business men of the Windv City.

STEAMER GRAYLING
REPORTED MISSING
(United Preu Ltised Wire.)
San Francisco, Jupe 10. Fear Is ex
pressed in marine circles that the little
68-foot steamer Grayling, which sailed
from Puget sound 13 days ago, has been
wrecked. , The customs authorities are
Interested in the fate of the little craft,
as they had intended to examine her
cargo on her arrival here, having heard
rumors that she carried contraband
opium taken aboard in British Columbia.
When the Grayling left Puget sound she
was ostensibly bound for this port on
her way to Panama. No word of her
has been, received since.

Washington, June 10. Wilbur and
Orvllle Wright today received at the
hands of President Taft official recog
nit ion on behalf of their countrymen for
their spectacular successes In the field
of aerial navigation. Each brother was
presented with a handsome gold medal,
the gifts of the Aero club of America,
commemorative of their record-breaking
flights in September, 190S.
The formal presentation of the med
als occurred this afternoon in the east
room of the White House, in the pres
ence of scores of diplomats from foreign
countries, state officials, officers of the
United States army and navy, and la
dles of Washington officialdom.
The Wright brothers entered the room
escorted by Representative Parsons of
New York, who Introduced them to
President Taft. At their side stood
their sister. Miss Katherlne Wright,
who had accompanied them to Washing
ton to witness their honoring.
Presenting the medals the president
spoke briefly, congratulating the avia
tors on their successes and commending
the honor they had brought to them
selves and. to their country. .
' The brothers accepted the congratu
lations of the company modestly and
with evident embarrassment.
The medals are struck In gold and are
Identical. One side is blank, with the
exception of a reproduction of the
Wright aeroplane model and a reproduc
tion of the seal of the Aero club of
America. The reverse bears the over
lapped profiles of the brothers, beneath
the inscription: "Aero Club of Amer
ica." Below the portraits is stamped: "W.
Wright, September 12, Lemans, France,"
and "O. Wright, September 9, Fort Mey
er, XL S. A.
The inscriptions refer to the world
records established by the Wrights on
those dates.
The Wright brothers, accompanied by
their sister, arrived In Washington at
8:40 this morning. They were met .by
committees from the Aero club and the
Cosmos club. The brothers were taken
to the Cosmos club, where they were
entertained at luncheon. Miss Wright
was a guest at the home of Mrs. C. J.
Bell, wife of the treasurer of the Aero
club of Washington. A reception fol
lowed the luncheon at the cosmos club.
The brothers posed for their photo
graphs at the station and were then
taken in automobiles to the Cosmos club
for luncheon. They were carrying their
own bagg-age and mingling with the
crowd when the club committee took
them In charge. Orvllle was dressed in
a gray nult, black derby hat and tan
shoes. Wilbur wore a tan suit, black
derby and dark shoes.
To the prominent aeronauts who Wel
comed them the brothers declared they
felt fine. They said they would return
to Washington about June 20 and prob
ably commence making their final aero
plane trials for the war department.
