gon and Washington poured their qouta
of people Into the city for the big pa
rade. From all points' of the country
tide and surrounding towns other thou
sands arrived by boat, by trolley and
J vehicles to -join with Portland In honor
Ing the antlered herd and see them In
their, glory. In Portltfltd, practically
every business house and factory gave
ear to the governor's declaration of a
-legal holftiay and closed, shop that the
bum-drum - of ', the work-a,-day world
Should not stand in the way of th03e
Who wished to view the procession.
And it was a good natured crowd. A
.Jolly,, laughing easily pleased fathering
that giggled at an ancient Joke,, shouted
with gee at the wail of an alarmed
Infant aid shrieked Itself horase, when
the Elks passed by. Despite the fact
that the parade did not start for an
hour after its scheduled time, the po
. lice had little difficulty in keeping the
Surging tide of humanity back behind
the ropes that were stretched along
. the route.
Crowds Swept Into Street.
Once or twice the crowd swept over
the barrier and into the streets,, but the
palrolmtm soon had order restored and
the people back' on the curb.
Tim people were out for a good time
ind Intended to have It. This for the
most part accounted for the good humor
displayed. They were on hand to help
t!io Elks relcbrate a.-id brought along
every sort of noise making device to
make the day Bound like a festival. All
tlio denlre for racket that the sane
Fourth had kept pent up was let loose,
Ind whenever a float or drill team
tnurched past that met with their np
provel the blaring brass of bands was
simply drswncU out by the flood of
tlieers lot looee.
In handling the crowd the Portland
police department was cnlled upon to do
the biggest job of policing ever per
twiHwl by it in Us history,
Every available man. special, reserve
nd regular, was on duty, under the
command of Captain of Police John
Moore. Many of the regular patrolmen
ihowed their loyalty to Portland and the
department by taking up parade duty
tfter 24 hours' continuous service pre
viously. 340 Fallcemen on Duty.
In all .there were 340 officers, policing
the line of march. Of these 110 were
detailed on the east side, where the
crowd was scarcely less thick than on
the west side. Four police automobiles
ind four motorcycles wore in constant
use. -
Sergeant Joe Klenlin was in" charge
Kf one machine and Sergeant Overton of
the second. Both officers rendered effi
cient '"Service In keeping- the line of
march clear. It was necessary to arrest
ttnly four men, who Insisted on creating
disturbances. ,
The police expressed surprise at the
unusual good humof of the crowd and
said they found more trouble in hand
ling a couple of moving picture photo
graphers who in wagons insisted on
blocking narrow streets. The moving
picture men were made to move on to
wliler thoroughfares by the patrolmen.
Much credit for the policing arrange
ments is due to Captain Moore. With
only enough patrolmen to allow two
detailing them in such ai manner that
thoro on duty on streets over which
the parade first passed were enabled
to reinforce the police on thorough
fares reached last by the parade. But
for this provision the downtown crowds,
restless from hours of waiting on down
town streets, would have broken the
lines before the parade had ended.

ing but clean blood will kill the germs.
Look It up, see what we are doing for
the sick. Call us up or write for litera
ture. We ship these medicines to all
parts of the United States and Canada
to consumptives, getting them after all
other so-called cures had failed. This
Is true of stomach and kidney trouble

MEDF0RD DELEGATION
KEEPS AN OPEN HOUSE
Open Handed Welcome Extended to
Visitors at Elka Quarters in
Imperial Hotel.
One of the liveliest delegations at
tending the grand lodge reunion hails
from Medford., Qr the "orchard land.!
Nearly 200 strong, the delegates have
established headquarters In room 20D
at the Imperial hotel where open house
and open handed welcome has been the
program ever since their arrival Mon
day. ......
There Is a big piano In one corner of
the room, a refreshment booth In an
other and a laughing, chattering crowd
of men and women all around. Most of
the day and. night the piano has been
In constant uaeage.
"Oh You Beautiful Doll" is the fa
vorite song. The Medford representa
tives, however, never sing it except
when they have succeeded In picking
some cringing human violet from the
"bunch" and have the victim in the
middle of the floor. Then while the
violet's color fades to roses thev play
"Ring Around the Rosy" and sing
hilariously.
In the line of march today the Med
ford squad, numbering 70, made a pleas
ing impression. Each man in line wore
white serge suits and carried a purple
and white parasol, with the lodge's
number, "1168," displayed on It.
Attorney C. L. Reams, exalted ruler
of the lodge, is in charge of the delega
tion and Owney Patton, formerly in the
hotel business at Medford, has charge
of the delegation headquarters here.
BEATS SCHEDULE
Train From Kansas City Gets nere
Ahead of Time.
Nothing less than a world's, record is
claimed by J. B. Frawley, Elk of Kan
sas City, for the special train that sped
over the long miles to Portland with
such an eagerness of power and Im
petuousness of schedule that it sr
rlved in Portland two hours and a half
ahead of time.
"Whoever heard of a train being
ahead of time, let alone so much ahead'
exclaimed Mr. Frawley, who is district
passenger agent of the Harrlman lines
in Kansas City and from a long railroad
experience knows.
"But that was Because we were so
anxious to get to Portland," he con
tinued. "And now that we are here we
don't want to go nway any more. We
would like to stay In this beautiful city.
Your climate Is wonderful bright, yet
cool and we swelter whenever we think
of the east. Four years ago I was here;
so surpassing has been construction en
terprise that I hardly recognized the
place. The sky line has changed. The
number of new buildings passes belief.
Thft-dty grows OjeUat and beUap
time and these Elks, no matter where
they come from, will go back home talk

an- extent that I'll warrant . thousands

Bayard II. Moul is one of the busiest
little "babies" In Elkdom. He Is called
an Infant not because he really la, for
he is a six footer and something; but
because he is a member of McMlnnvllle,
Or., lodge No. 1283, the "baby lodge."
"McMlnnvllle Intends to show the
Elks It is on the map," said Moul. "It
will be the first baby lodge to attend
grand lodge sessions In a body. It
will be here in force, and with a float
for the parade Thursday."
Moul Is one of the busy badge col
lectors. At last reports he had all but
three of the 1500 or so being distributed,
and was trying, to trade a Salem emblem
for a Klamath Falls trinket.

HUNDREDS JOIN IN
GRIZZLY BEAR DANCE
Crowd In Hotel Court "Rags''
Music of Coast Artillery
Band.
to
A hundred couple swayed and
"ragged" in the curious uncanny step of
the "gristly bear" In the court of the
Portland hotel Tuesday night when the
Coast Artillery band of San Francisco
took up the strains of the muslo from
which the dance has derived its name,
shortly before midnight While they
"ragged" 200 San Franciscans were
booming out in time to the muslo of the
band their world's fair song:
"B. P. O. E.
Ban Francisco No. S, .
1915, that's the date.
Meet us at the Golden Oe.t,
Bear Bear Where Where
San Francisco."
It was one of the liveliest demonstra
tions of an evening of surprises and
lively demonstrations. The Ban Fran
ciscans entered the game after the
electric parade, when their band swung
out of the Multnomah hotel and
marched to the Portland hotel with a
big crowd of San Francisco enthusiasts.
Led by D. R Atkinson, formerly of
San Francisco, but now of Portland,
their singing and yelling raised the en
thusiasm of the crofed on the street to
a high pitch. Then Herman Kohn and
W. 8. Devllns started to "rag."
In a minute the step bad been taken
up by scores and then by hundreds.
When the band reached the Portland,
Sixth street was full of "ragging" cou
ples bumming the words of the San
Francisco air.
Through the hotel, even to the dining
room, the San Franciscans marched be
hind their band, everywhere yelling for
the 1915 fair.
Among the prominent San Francis
cans In the party were Lewis Bylngton,
ex-dlstrict attorney, and chairman of
the Portland committee; J. H. Harbour,
exalted ruler, and Carl Koenlg, a giant
Elk, standing 6 feet 8 Inches tall and
weighing 315 pounds, with voice In pro
portion. Pawtucket Men Pleased.
Three men dropped Into town last
night from far away Pawtucket R- I.,
all that cams to represent their lodge,
but when the distance Is considered a
really large representation. James F.
Mulligan, district deputy of Rhode Isl
and, Is the leader of the delegation, and
his companions are Harry A. Warbur
ton, past exalted ruler of Pawtucket
lodge, and William H. Bray, esteemed
leading knight.
"Believe me, Portland is doing herself
proud," said Wr. Mulligan. "This is the
finest reunion I have ever attended, and
I've been to many. The only one which
can compare with Portland Is Philadel
phia, and the Quakers are not In the
same class. It's great and Tin here
for" good time.- So long."
"Stop In," Says Santa Monica,
Robert A. Meyer, of the Santa Monica.
Cel.. lodge, is distributing cards inviting
all visiting Elks to "stop in 'oa your
way home." . v .
They, too, were ready at onoe for the
parade and soon after their arrival took
up their p6sltl6h at the place of forma
tion. The Vancouver badge carries a
picture of the "old witness tree" which
was one of the posts for the first sur
vey In northwest territory.
Almost S00 'Indians" came flown
from The Dalles last evening and first
thing this morning the whole tribe of
them executed a war dance in front of
the Imperial. The costume of The
Dalles boys, representing lodgte No. tOt,
Is soma war paint a big purple blanket
and a bunch of feathers.
Aberdeen Adds Ton.
It waa one of the merriest and noisi
est delegations received.
From Aberdeen, Wash., about 100
"swell Elks" added their gaiety to this
morning's fan at registration bead
quarters. The Aberdeen delegation in
white trousers, purple plush coata and
purple silk "plug" hats, made an aristo
crats showing. Along with the Elks
In the crowd were almost as many more
visitors.
Seattle sent down one of the largest
delegations registered. Five hundred of
the "tlllicums" arrived at 4:15, dressed
In their marching regalia of white,-and
these, together with those coming
earlier In the week, spent the morning
before parade time In an impromptu re
ception with musical accompaniments
