iBadged Strangers Surge the
Streets and Bands Play
Stirring Music.
Well, they're here. They thronged
Into ' Portland In constantly swelling
numbers this morning, these Jovial Elk
visitors, in the regular trains, in special
cars attached to the regular trains, and
in special trains bearing scores, hun
dreds, and, in one case, more than 1000
of them, their families and their friends,
to the grand lodge city.
Bo fast did they come that the big
crowds of Saturday night and Sunday
were completely overshadowed by the
multitude of badged strangers that
filled sidewalks, streets and hotel cor
ridors down town. Over at Colonel
D. M. Dunne's registration bureau In
the new Oregon hotel, they came pretty
nearly overwhelming- the registration
clerks about the time that the inrush of
special trains became greatest.
Thousands Begistertnf.
There was one busy period here
when a person keeping tab with a
watch could count 60 persons In a
minute entering the big headquarters
room through one door, while a few
feet away, another 50 persons were
coming out. Inside, they had so much
to do that John J. Rooney, John F.
Cordray and other prominent Elks, and
even Colonel Dunn himself, sat down
end helped out the struggling clerks.
Harry Abrey, one of those in charge
here, estimated conservatively that be
tween 2500 and 4000 Elks and their la
dles registered hero this morning up to
noon. This would bring the total reg
istration to at least 13,000 and probably
to 16.000. for it had paused the 10,000
mark last night. Exact figures for this
morning's registration won't be known
Mil late In the afternoon, however, for
when things got fo lively all effor tqt
keep track of it was abandoned until
later.
Mr. Abrey said the morning's registra
tion might even reach 5UO0 and that for
the day it would probably be at least
10,000, and perhaps 12,000. Keeping
track of 12,000 visitors in a day would,
just about tax the capacity of the feg
istratlon bureau to its extreme limit, but
Colonel Dunne declared he could do it.
Bash Continues.

reau had that the day wan going to
be pretty busy came about 7:30 o'clock
this morning, when In came a delega
tion of eastern Elks clamoring to be
registered. After that the rush kept get
ting greater every minute, instead of let
ting up. From 8 o'clock" on, it is estl?
mated -tbt the -clerk -registered EHt
at the average rate of 20 to the minute.
At that,- all the Elks who- came in
town today and some of those who en
tered last night, have not yet registered.
Most of these, of course, will get In
the line this afternoon, but the num
ber of those unregistered at present
will probably swell the total . number
of those who got fn this morning to
between 5000 and 6000.
Several more special trains are due
later this afternoon and. tonight, but a
wreck below Grants Pass early this
morning, where the .Shasta Limited
went Into the ditch without injuring
anybody, however, will probably delay
trains to the south of the wreck from
16 to 20 hours. At least half a dozen
big trains will be held up tomorrow by
this wreck.
The cause of the accident, according
to word received at Elk headquarters,
was softness In the track due to the
passage over It of go many heavy-Elk
specials within a few hours.. The road
bed sank undar the l)eavy locomotive of
the Shasta Limited and sent It and the
mall cars over the embankment.

TENER IS
STILL BASEBALL FAN
E HIS POSIT
Was Famous Pitcher in Days
When Game Was New; He
Hails From Pennsylvania.
"Now you're going to ask me who
was catching, who was batting and what
inning it was." said John Klnley Tener,
governor of the state of Pennsylvania,
this morning, when a Journal reporter
managed to get the big man away for
a few minutes from a host of admirers
who encircled him.
Such "fan'' talk from the governor of
a great commonwealth might at first
thought seem somewhat irrelevant, but
it is all explained when It is remembered
that before he became a governor Mr.
Tener was a national figure because of
his prowess as a baseball pitcher, and
because he was a member Of the famous
Spalding ftll-Amertcan touring team
back in the '80's.'
Governor Tener Is apparently Just the
same at heart now as no was tn - the
days of his baseball fame. Entirely un
affected, good natured and mirthful, ht
gives the impression of being just a
Lgreat big "kid." and in this manner
many of his good mends so aescnoe
him. - "

Tonopah, Nev., July 8. With the

$150,000 from fire which early today

Medford, Or., July 8. The Shasta

4:36 o'clock today near Rogue river,
about eight miles south of Grants Pass.
Throe cars, the baggage, mall and one
sleeper, left the track. No one was in-
Jurcd.
The wreck was due to a soft piece
of trackage. On account of so many
special Elk trains traveling north the
track has sunk and slow orders had
been put out. The Shasta Limited,
northbound, was the last train heeding
the slow signals. The train which was
derailed was running about 15 miles
an hour when It left the track. The
mall car turned over on Its side, bruis

sleeper remained upright.
