City Illuminated as Never Before—
Thousands Arrive.
Portland, July 8. — Portland is in
possession of the Elks. From every
state and every clime the antlered
multitude and their families poured
into the city yesterday. More than
score of special trains arrived, each
carrying its burden of pleasure-seek
ing lodge men. ‘Every regular train
carried its full quota of convention
crowds. Nearly all the regular trains
operated in special sections.
Elks from California, Oregon
Washington and Idaho points predom
inated in [numbers from early in the
day. Late last night the eastern part
of the United States contributed its
share. Jersey City sent more than
100, while Cincinnati, New '.York, and
other points (east of the Mississippi
contributed heavily to the arrivals.
All night long the magnificent
trains of five, six, eight and [even
dozen splendidly equipped coaches
reached the city.
Portland was a ready host.
Port
land Elks had prepared amply for such
a crowd. Portland citizens, too, had
taken up the burden and shared the
responsibility and the joy ^of caring
for thousands of guests.
The Court of Honor, which is the
masterpiece of decorative art, wa3 il
luminated in all its glory. Its great
towering buildings smiled down on the
good-humored crowds [beneath the
brilliant lights. The monster'electric
signs upon the tallest structures
caused prolonged study from all visi
tors. Those who have attended form
er grand lodges marveled with those
who never had seen an Elks’ reunion.
While the care-free multitudes
thronged the decorated thoroughfares
of [the city, the machinery of the
grand lodge was busy inside the Mult
nomah hotel, grinding out its regular
yearly routine of work, preparatory to
the opening of the regular sessions on
Tuesday morning.

Political Bolters Find No Place Un
der Peculiar Laws.
Oklahoma City.—There will be no
third party in Oklahoma. Roosevelt
Republicans find there is no way for
them to put a party in the field, un
der the title of the Progressive Re
publicans or any other title signifying
that it is an offshoot of the Republi
can party.
The same rule applies to Democrats.
The Democratic organization in Okla
homa carefully screwed down the lid
to prevent the success of any bolting
party when Oklahoma became a state.
This fact is not generally known. A
candidate for nomination must file as
a Democrat, Republican, Socialist or
Prohibition, or else as an independent.
He is precluded under the law from
filing as an "Independent Republican"
or "Progressive Democrat," or in any
other way in which he may seek to use
the name of one of the four parties.
Filing time expired June 27. The
Roosevelt Republicans made no effort
to put a ticket in the field and cannot
do it now.
The rigid effects of this anti-bolting
law were not generally known until
delegates returned from the Chicago
convention and found they could not
start anything in Oklahoma.
Air Has New Dangers.
Paris—An army aeroplane accident
showing the great danger of machines
passing too near to each other while
flying occurred at Villacoublay, near
Paris.
Lieutenants Briez and Burlez, of
the French army, started on a flight
from the aerodrome in separate mono
planes.
Lieutenant Briez had at
tained an altitude of 600 feet, when
Burlez passing him at greater speed,
100 feet higher in the air, forced a
pocket of air downward and caused
the machine driven by Briez to crash
to the ground.

Many Prostrations— Horses Fall In
Streets — Hot Wave Helps
Crops In Country.
Chicago, July 8.—Twenty deaths in
the two days of torridity Chicago has
experienced was the record tonight
when the statistics were footed up.
In addition there were half a hundred
serious prostrations and 18 persons
were bitten by rabid dogs.
Meanwhile the heat wave has "flat
tened out,” to use a technical expres
sion of the weather forecasters. Over
the grain fields of the West and
Southwest the blazing sunshine was
making millions in agricultural wealth.
The suffering in the cities meant the
fortunes of the farmers.
The temperature today did not reach
yesterday’s extreme height and the
humidity was 71, or four degrees be
low that of yesterday, but men and
horses continued to drop in the
streets, which were like hot tunnels.
Some relief came in the afternoon,
when shifting winds brought a light
breeze off the lake. It was confined
to that portion of the city within a
half mile of the lake front, however,
as the breeze was so light it lost its
coolness after traveling over belching
chimneys.
By way of comparison, it may be
noted that San Francisco, with a max
imum of 60 and a minimum of 50, was
the coolest spot in the country. Port
land had 62 and 52, Los Angeles was
next, with 78 and 58, more than 20
degrees cooler than Montreal and To
ronto. Phoenix, Ariz., claims the
heat record, with 104. Boston report
ed 90, New York 82 and Washington
90. Various Texas points had an av
erage of 96, Cincinnati was compara
tively cool at 80, or eight degrees
cooler that St. Louis, which had pre
cisely the same temperature as St.
Paul, 88, and was four degrees cooler
than Madison,
Wis. Sault Ste.
Marie, usually the abiding place of
the chilly wave, sweltered at 92, 10
degrees hotter than Memphis, Tenn.
Green Bay, Wis., also one of the
"cold spots" on the tourist circulars,
reported 94, or 10 degrees warmer
than Denver.
In addition to 20 deaths in Chicago,
five deaths were reported from Phila
delphia, one from La Crosse, Wis. and
five others from various points.

World's Records Broken at
Swedish Olympiad.
Stockholm, Sweden—The glory of
the opening of the Olympic games of
1912 should be divided between Swed
en and the United States. Sweden
gets the lion’s share, for the impres
sive stage setting she provided for the
contests, which, with the natural
beauties of Stockholm—its parks and
palaces and lakes—and the moving
ceremonial with which the king in
augurated the meeting, makes it by
far the most memorable international
festival ever held.
America’s share of the honor is due
to the remarkable fashion in which
her brawny young men set to work on
the cinder path. They ran away with
heat after heat in the first rounds of
the 100 meters and 800 meters; they
outdid the expectations of their train
ers and completely upset the calcula
tions the public had made. ' They left
their old-time British rivals far be
hind.
The smashing of the Olympic record
by D. E. Lippincott, University of
Pennsylvania, in the 16th heat of the
100 meters event, puts that runner in
the hero class.
The world’s record with the javelin,
made by E. Lemming, the Swedish
champion, was not unexpected, but
the Hawaiian swimmer "D uke” Ka-
hanamoku, covered himself with glory
by winning the United States the sec
ond world’s record of the meeting.
