Blake,, president of the Board of Trade, i- ' TMn is the first visit ever made on United States soil in the history of the Canadian police organisation. lt was only after a month of the most arduous efforts by Mayor Gale, and Wilson, who Is one of the most influential men in British Columbia, that permission was obtained : from the British, government to bring the detachment . to Portland in response to . the invitation v of the Rose Festival association. Riding upon chest nut horses, the police' will form one of the most striking divisions of the pa rade this afternoon, if ' ; PBA1SES IKSPECTOR'8 WOBK Mayor Gale commended highly L the connection of Inspector Irvine with the corps.

"He arose from the ranks and' now occupies a prominent position with the corpa. He is one of the most efficient and capable officers in the entire contingent, He was asso ciated with the corps in many of the wonderful achievements irt the north west In the early days and distinguished himself on the field of battle during the recent war., .

Colonel Walker, who is attending the Shrine con vention with the Calgary delegation, was one of the prime movers Jn the early life of the corps. With the growth and en largement of the police patrol its name has been recently changed "Royal Ca nadian Mounted Police." which is more suitable, since the jurisdiction of the corps extends over alt Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific and far into the Arctic circle. . ' - .j , The duties of the police combine 10 or 12 offices in this country. Their work takes them into the! moBt remote re gions. They never work' in municipali ties. They do not always ride horses, but when : their duties take them over the vast snow wastes! of the Far North, they take to dog sled, and when they must go, into a wild country reached by a roaring river, .they; take to a canoe. They Carry mail and visit the "Eskimos. They Journey from Dawson to Ft. Mc pherson and Herschiel flsland. 'one of the farthest points in the North. They are ready to give first aid treatment and they can5 amputate;! limbs,- if neces sary, although few of them are medical students.- . . ' USE BOGS IX FABiXOnTH They often"1 travel from . 200 to 800 miles by dog team. In the Far North, they usually travel by "twos," although In Southern Canada they, go alone on their missions of aid. .They perform customs duties also. 1 The corps has a present strength of about 1400 men, di vided Into, detachments over . each of which Is a constable.': "We are delighted to be in Portland." said Inspector Irvine. . "We had only a few moment's notice but it didn't take long to saddle our horses and rush to Vancouver for the station. We reached Portland during the middle of the parade last night. My men had such a wonderful time, I fear I shall have trouble pulling them away from the city. I never heard such won derful bands- and the patrols everyone of them had some distinctive feature of its own. : It was stupendous." . The police ' will remain ; in Portland until Saturday. . i .

Oklahoma Shriner 3 Leaving to Boost for Owen for Presidency To boost Senator Owen of Oklahoma for the Democratic presidential nomina tion, Potentate Sam A. Dye and loo members of Akdar temple , of TuIha, Okla., will leave tonight on a special train for San Francisco. The Oklahoma politicians are of the opinion that the San Francisco convention will develop a "dark horse," and that Senator Owen will be a winner on the final ballot. Tutsans are highly pleased with the Portland reception, and those who have attended previous imperial council ses sions say that Portland has excellod them all. They said that had it not been for the numerous conventions this year, causing a, shortage of passenger train 'equipment, fully 0,000 more Khrlners would have been in. attendance at the convention.
