Portland's rank as a rose tts garden.
' "No other city in the world, with the
exception of Paris, has such a test gar
den as we have in Portland." he said.
Two new roses were dedicated one
from the East and one from the West
and were received by E. A. Pierce. - The
first which was dedicated by Mrs.
George L. Baker, was grown by Captain
George C. Thomas Jr. of Philadelphia,
and named ?'W. Freeland Kendrick."
while the second, which ' was dedicated
by Mrs.' Kendrick, in the absence of the
potentate, who was unable to attend,
was named "Imperial Potentate." This
was grown by Noble Albert Clarke of
Portland, a member of Al Kader temple.
"W. Freeland Kendrick" is a cross be
tween the Carolina Testout and Aviateur
Bleriot, and Is pure white. While not an
exhibit rose, it will thrive in the East,
as it can: withstand severe winters, and
is notable for the 'profusion of its
blooms..'-.. -
. The "Imperial Potentate Is the true
exhibit type, and is a cross between the
Ophelia and Hoosier Beauty. It is a
salmon pink, and the buds are particu
larly beautiful.- - f :

Gasoline Rationings
Brings Fair Supply
: During Shrine Week
Plans for gasoline rationing during the
Shrine : convention and Rose Festival
provide approximately normal supply to
essential industries and 75 per cent of
the normal supply to pleasure cars, ac
cording to Mayor Baker and the . com
mittee .of business men in charge of the
gasoline situation In Portland.
Managers of . the three big oil com
panies report sufficient supply on hand
to furnish gas in this proportion for the
remainder of the week. The situation is
improving, according to J. E. Baisley,
local manager of the Standard Oil com
pany, and the supply of gasoline in July
will be considerably greater than dur
ing June. . .,
Every effort is being made to dis
tribute gas to outside points and reports
indicate that the situation Is improving
throughout the state. The Standard's
tanker Atlas left about 1.000,000 gallons
here this week and it Is possible that the
El Segundo will discharge a portion of
her gasoline cargo .at this port before
proceeding to Puget - Sound, Friday or
Saturday. - , -

"Vivid uniforms of red, : black and
gold of the Royal Northwest Mount

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

Mayor Gale commended highly L the
connection of Inspector Irvine with the
corps. ' -l , .- , --.,; i '.f-Cv .
We are extrrfmely fortunate in hav
ing a man of his calibre in charge of the
corps." said the mayor. "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., .
Inspector Irvine is very modest as to.
his achievements and does not say much
about himself, except i that he Is a na
tive of Scotland, entered the police serv
ice JS years ago, fought in France and
Belgium during the war : with the First
Canadian tank corps iand finally, went
through .to the Rhine, j
Sergeant C Scott Is Inspector Irvine's
right hand man and has a war record
himself which brought him an M. S.
M. and a 1915 star.- (Every one of the
entire 16 Canadians are ex-service men.
ORGANIZED IX.187& .
The Royal "Northwest Mounted police
corps was first organised In 1875. 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 . ' -
